Brisch likes bond idea By Mark Schlachtenhaufen

Staff Writer

OKLAHOMA CITY—A revenue bond issue in 1991 and tuition increases for Oklahoma higher education may help ease "severe" state funding shortfalls and benefit

Central State University, said Hans Brisch, higher education chancellor. "We need a bond issue to jump-start the process," Brisch said. "What we need is about $1 billion, and that may be too darn scary. I hope this next year we can get one." The disparity between higher education

KHAFJI, Saudi Arabia (AP)—Kuwaitis flooded into Saudi Arabia Sunday with tales of terror and anarchy at home as word spread that Iraq had opened the border for the first time in a month, At least 1,500 refugees were expected to cross over Sunday, border officials said. About 1,000 crossed Saturday, and they gave grim reports of dwindling food supplies and Iraqi troops blowing up homes of suspected resistance fighters, The refugees said word first began spreading Friday that the Iraqis had lifted restrictions on departure through Khafji, the only official point of entry between Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. The post had been closed for about a month. The Iraqis made no announcement of the border opening, and the refugees could only speculate on why they had done so. Some said Iraqi troops wanted access to the homes of departing Kuwaitis. Others said it was part of Iraqi President Saddam Hussein's long-term plan to repopulate Kuwait with Iraqis. The Iraqi sodiers confiscated all identity documents, including car registration forms, from those leaving, refugees said. They said the Iraqis apparently wanted to make it difficult for anyone to return. Word of the border opening had spread through Kuwait's grapevine, the refugees said. Some said they received the news in anonymous phone calls. A 33-year-old journalist said a friend got a call saying: "Why do you always talk bad about Saddam Hussein? The border's open, why don't you leave?" Please see WORLD WRAP on page 2.

Grad enrollment boosted By Karen Adkins Student Writer Graduate enrollment reached a high at Central State University this semester and will continue to escalate as students see the value of graduate education, said Dr. George Avellano, graduate college dean. "I see the increase due to new emphasis on education in Oklahoma," Avellano said. "We are up 33 students over last year." Since the passage of House Bill 1017 teachers are in demand, and as a result, more

students are seeking higher degrees in education, Avellano said. HB 1017 calls for smaller studentteacher ratios, so school systems are hiring more teachers.

Graduate students are not only older, Avellano said, but many of them are employed in full-time positions or are already teaching school. "The majority of the master programs are at night. Probably 95 percent of them are at night for that reason," Avellano said.

funding and the remainder of state agencies sets an alarming trend, Brisch said. "It is very clear that we are not funded appropriately," Brisch said. "We must ask the student, the parent, as well as the taxpayer, to be supportive of increases." This year, higher education will receive $509.5 million from the state's $3.2 billion budget. Funding for projects like a proposed multimillion-dollar classroom building at CSU must be approved by the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education if monies appropriated from the state budget or other sources are used. From 1981 to 1991, higher education funding increased 87 percent, vo-tech, 229.8 percent, and common education, 113 percent. "We have not had a regular stream of capital money coming in and that's why it's so desperately needed," Brisch said. Discussions with the governor could lead to annual appropriations for higher education construction, renovation and other capital needs, Brisch said. For fiscal year 1990, universities and colleges—excluding two-year schools— requested more than $1 billion in state, nonstate and Section 13 funding for construction and renovation projects. Section 13 funding originated during the first Oklahoma surveys when Section 13 of each township plotted was reserved for education. The funds collected from those plots are kept in separate accounts and are not pan of the state budget. Brisch blamed part of the funding shortfall on what he calls the low tuition levels in Oklahoma's higher educational system. Oklahoma tuition levels, despite several increases throughout the 1980s, remain low in comparision with a 15-state region. Oklahoma will not raise tuition this year, but in fiscal year 1990, comprehensive, four-year universities increased tuition an average of 19.8 percent. In In fiscal year 1989 the increase averaged 24.1 percent. "We are still a low tuition state and have a long way to go on a system-wide basis to have the proper amount of money to run our institutions," Brisch said. According to the Southern Regional Education Board, just three states had lower annual median tuition prices than Oklahoma. The combination of a bond issue, which must be passed by a popular vote, state appropriations and increased tuition could help solve the lack of funding. "We must make the case that we will be funded over a very short period of time at the average of our peer group," Brisch said. "In other words, we're not too greedy. We're only asking to get to the average. Please see BRISCH on page 12.

CSU Police arrest man for indecent exposure By Sam Powell

Student Writer Central State University Police arrested a man Wednesday after they received reports of a nude man driving a brown car across campus. The report was the second in two weeks. Police officials, however, did not say whether the two reports were related. Police said they received a report of a possible indecent exposure at about 10:25 a.m. "At approximately 10:38 (a.m.) officers encountered the suspect at the corner of Ayers and Roberts Street and made the arrest," said Doris Dunn, police spokeswoman.

Police reports indentified the man as David Kent Gierhart, 37, a businessman from Muskogee. Campus Police said they transported Gierhart to the Oklahoma County Court House, where he was released on bond after being charged him with two counts of indecent exposure. One eyewitness, who requested anonymity, said, "I was walking to my first class by the Communications Building, looked in this car, and noticed the person didn't have any clothes on." "He didn't do anything but drive close to anybody that would look at him," she said. Another anonymous witness said, "I was heading for the library from the baseball field, and a

brown car drove in front of me. I thought it was strange that he didn't have a shirt on because it was so cool. When he came by me I saw he had no clothes on." Steven Vincent, a witness to the arrest, said "I was trying to get to my first class at 10:30 (a.m.), and because there were no parking places, I was just driving around." Vincent said he was about 10 feet from the suspect when the arresting officer ran to the car and stuck his gun in the man's face. Witnesses said the man was wearing running shorts and a Tshirt when he was arrested and didn't seem to know what was going on. "There was probably over 100 people watching," Vincent said.

"The parking at my school is so bad, I save money just by not getting tickets, and I don't go shopping or 'junking' as much," Lerner said. "Nobody helps me. I live in an apartment with two other girls and I work nights," Lerner said. "I'm always broke." CSU student Orena Grim said she's looking for a part-time job. "I have a music scholarship, but it doesn't pay for all the extra expenses," Grim said. "My parents give me $100 a month."

The action, announced outside his country home in i the .Rhineland after a 90-minute meeting with Secretary of State James A.

Program to bridge gap Resident students to open activities to faculty By Susan Chapman

Student Writer

A program sponsored by the Resident Hall Association is trying to bridge the gap between students and faculty at Central State University. The program was initiated last spring when dormitory residents voted on favorite faculty members that they thought would be interesting and relate well with the students. "I've seen how this works at other universities and thought that something like this would be great at CSU," said Carol Van Duyn, resident housing manager. "This is kind of an honor to be asked," Van Duyn said. "It means the kids really like you." Two faculty members are invited to join in on any activity in each residence hall. Auxiliary enterprises made provisions for the teachers to share the meal of their choice once a week with assigned dorm residents,Van Duyn said.

"Whenever there's anything going on at the dorms, the faculty—as well as their families—are encouraged to attend, and that's when some really neat things start to happen," Van Duyn said. She bealieves this is a great avenue for student-faculty friendships to begin. The faculty members invited to attend functions at East Hall are Dr. Lewis Irving and Dr. William Johnson, both sociology professors. West Hall residents chose Dr. Suzan Waller, assistant professor of sociology, and Dr. Gerhard Kallienke, professor of language. Dr. William Caire, professor of biology, and Freeta Jones, health, physical education, recreation and dance instructor, will be visiting Murdaugh Hall. Thatcher Hall invited one professor, Elizabeth Berger, sociology professor. Residents at that hall are still waiting to see who the second professor will be. "I think that this is a great idea, and I appreciate the opportunity

Ratio statistics are compiled every two years. It would be too difficult to spot trends on an annual basis, Jacob said. In fall 1981, total enrollment was 11,398, and full-time enrollment totaled 7,856. The studentteacher ratio was 27.5 per faculty member. In fall 1989, overall enrollment was 14,212, with 9,478 full-time students. The ratio was 29.2, an increase of almost two students per instructor and about 10 more than preferred levels. In addition, the university is about 50 faculty members below the desired level, Jacob said. Solutions include greater state appropriations for hiring faculty and the construction of a multipurpose classroom building, Jacob said.

for us to get acquainted on a oneto-one basis with our instructors,' said Kristy Blackwood, a Murdaugh hall resident.

A combination of higher enrollment and faculty shortage have resulted in a student-teacher ratio which hampers Central State University classroom communication, an administrator said. Clyde Jacob, academic affairs vice president, said the greater the number of students per instructor, the fewer the possibilities for instructional methods. The ability to advise or tutor individual students is affected. "The student-teacher ratio is always an important issue, but it's always relative," Jacob said. "What that means is we like to keep the ratio as low as possible, but it's relative because it depends upon the areas." Liberal arts faculty may want more students per teacher to encourage conversation, whereas in science, limited supplies require a smaller number of students for optimal instruction, Jacob said. "The bottom line is we like to

keep our student-teacher ratios as low as possible," he said. "Probably, if we could keep our classes between 20 to 25 students, that's kind of an ideal number."

Death penalty rethought

co

f course, as soon as a radical statement is made, it must often be qualified. If it is true that all truth is relative, then the "truth," or points made in favor of the death penalty in the last editorial must be put in context. In any society trying to be progressive and responsive to human needs, extreme punishment can only be a stopgap solution. Society must deal vigorously with the problems of the present, yet always pose the question: "But what will we do tomorrow?" Tomorrow we must face the reality that every violent criminal represents a life gone horribly wrong, and therefore wasted. Violent crime is a symptom of deeper social problems. Tomorrow, after we have stood firm on our intolerance of violent crime, we must find a solution which will protect our culture from the abuse of people that turns them into criminals. Whether it means that agencies will be required to intervene in families with critical problems, or community-generated groups must be formed to deal with the same problem yet avoid Big Brother-ism, the urgency of the problem is undeniable. The issue is one of life or death.

Global giants negotiate

W

ith all the glowing feelings of new-found friendship suffusing the United States' improved relationship with the Soviet Union, it's possible to overlook some of the hazards of such an alliance. One free-floating idea which has been argued is that the increasing U.S. conservatism and increasing Soviet liberalism destine the great nations for a merger. What a dreadful thought. Since so much of this is taking place on the governmental level, such a merger would be a huge meeting of the bureaucracies. One hopes the best of both cultures would be brought out and mutually enhanced. But one fears the result could be a super-bureaucracy; a monolith of gray-suited professional politicians with enormous power. The more power people have, the greater their capability to both good and evil. This is not to say we should distrust the Soviets, but we should carefully monitor the actions diplomats make on our behalf. Our own government is the one for whom we should always reserve a bit of distrust. — Keith Purtell

Group seeks overhaul of NEA By Robert M. Andrews

Student Writer

WASHINGTON (AP)—An independent study commission is ready to urge overhauling—but not dismantling—the National Endowment for the Arts, bolstering its chairman's grant-making powers and dropping a controversial anti-obscenity pledge, sources said Sept. 11.

Sources close to the 12-member commission, which issued its report last Tuesday, said the panel focused on revamping the NEA's network of "peer review panels" of artists and arts managers who select grant applications for approval. One of the sources, who spoke on condition they not be idententifled, said the commission agreed that the panels should play a diminished, advisory role in the fu-

ture, while the NEA chairman asserts ultimate authority and full responsibility for grant-making decisions. The commission also was reported to hayed agreed that endowment chairman John E. Frohnmayer should eliminate a requirement that grant recipients promise in writing they will not use federal funds for arts projects that might be considered obscene. By the NEA's latest count,

nearly a dozen artists and arts organizations have refused to sign the anti-obscenity pledge and forfeited endowment grants. The pledge also is the target of two federal lawsuits in New York and Los Angeles. In addition, sponsors of a creative writing project at Arizona State University at Tempe, said Monday they voted to reject a $9,965 endowment grant rather than sign the anti-obscenity

High school seniors up ACT scores OKLAHOMA CITY (AP)—An increased emphasis on basic science, math and English has helped college-bound Oklahoma seniors score closer to their peers nationwide on the ACT, a state education official says. The average national composite score among 817,096 graduating high school students was 20.6, on a scale of 1-36, according to American College Testing, the Iowa City, Iowa-based organization that administers the exam. In Oklahoma, the average score was 20.2, compared to four years ago when Oklahoma students scored .8 points below the national average. At the same time, state education officials said the number of Oklahoma high school students taking core curriculum courses has increased from 30 percent to 45 percent in the past four years. Hans Brisch, the chancellor for the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education, said the increase in state students taking core classes "is good news for higher education." "Oklahoma's colleges and universities are strengthened by students with a strong foundation in science, math, English and social sciences," Brisch said. "And the students themselves are strengthened by a background of strong academic coursework that better prepares them to meet the demand of collegiate work." Students in 1990 took a new form of the test, called the "Enhanced ACT Assessment," therefore, results were not directly comparable to previous years. But ACT officials calculated that the scores from last year and the previous school year, which used the older version, were unchanged. National ACT averages have been practically unchanged for the last five years and offer fresh evidence that school reform may have stagnated. Two weeks ago, the College Board—which sponsors the SAT, the predominant college entrance exam in the remaining 22 states— reported averages on the verbal section of the test had sunk to their lowest levels in a decade, and math scores were unchanged for the fourth straight year.

pledge. They said the move was supported by English and theater faculty members at Northern Arizona University at Flagstaff and the University of Arizona at Tuscon. The endowment's advisory body, the National Council on the Arts, also has urged Frohnmayer to drop the pledge, but he has delayed a decision until a federal court in New York rules on its constitutionality.

Postal employees warned about Doonesbury stamps NEWARK, N.J. (AP)— Z,onker, Duke, Mike Doonesbury and the rest of Garry Trudeau's gang are on the U.S. Postal Service's "Most Unwanted" list. Postal employees were warned last week that some people are trying to pass off ornamental stamps bearing the comic strip characters as the real thing, officials said Wednesday. The Postal Service issued the warning last week after a few letters showed up in post offices around the nation with Trudeau's creations as the postage, said Art

Shealy, a postal spokesman in Washington, D.C. The gummed fakes come from the 1990 Doonesbury Stamp Album, a collection of over 140 stamps featuring characters from the comic strip. The $8.95 book, released July 10 by Penguin Books in New York, is designed to raise money for the Writer's Voices program of the Literacy Volunteers of New York City, a spokeswoman for the publisher said. One stamp shows Treudeau's

homeless characters sitting on a park bench and covered in snow, with the caption, "Freezing to Death."

Governors resolve issue School-to-work issue to better prepare students NATCHEZ, Miss. (AP)— Southern governors agreed Tuesday to develop recommendations to train youngsters from school to the workplace to prepare them for high technology jobs needed in the 21st Century. The resolution on school-towork education was sponsored by Mississippi governor Ray Mabus. He said the Southern Governors Association (SGA) staff would prepare the recommendations for the 1981 SGA convention, which Kentucky Gov. Wallace Wilkinson said will be held in Kentucky. The theme of the convention in the historic Mississippi River city was ways to educate today's students for new jobs needed by industry and to train the present work force to upgrade skills.

Governors were told during the three-day meeting that foreign competitors are better organized to compete on educational programs, more flexible to deal with changing consumer buying, and produce greater productivity among workers Mabus said after the meeting that the key issue was one of certifying education programs that will mean the skills needed by employers. He said many southern states, including Mississippi, had such programs in place. But he said many more were needed. Earlier Tuesday, Delaware Gov. William N. Castle said America's young people—and their parents have to be sold on the economic benefits of an edu-

cation for the United States to improve its status with foreign competitors. Castle said the United States is struggling to compete with productivity of other countries such as Japan, Germany and South Korea. Castle said young people can either work for $5 an hour at a local fast-food restaurant or be taught to understand that by going to college they could earn an additional half a million dollars over the lifetime of their work careers. Marc Tucker, president of the National Center on Education and the Economy, said a study released in June found that America's skilled labor force, and two-thirds on management level employees.

Jazz-rockguitarist top lay pop selection By Erin Mitchell

Staff Writer Robin Crow, a jazz and rock guitarist whose albums include the work of musicians from the Steve Winwood Band, Kansas, Missing Persons and Toto, will perform at 8:30 tonight at Centennial Square. "It should be one of the biggest productions of the semester," said Joacquin Stevens, speaker for the Student Association's student senate.

Crow's performance is being sponsored by the SA, Stevens said. Stevens said he met Crow while on a summer trip he took to Nashville. Crow's tour will feature possibly the largest production of any solo artist on the road, Stevens said. "Besides being a very talented musician," Stevens said, "Robin puts a lot of his time into Compassion International, a hunger relief organization."

Computer firms hit home market rlheeVista PagesS (AP)—Ordinary consumers may want and use home computers, but not necessarily with all the complex gismos that attract dedicated hackers. So computer marketers aiming at this broad, middle=range group have begun to concentrate on basic usefulness of the machines, with word processing, schoolwork, household management and entertainment at the top of the list. They also are making them easier to set up and use. After its initial flop with the PCjr in the home computer marketplace, IBM scrambled to recoup by interviewing consumers across the country about what they really want from a household computer. The business computer giant reentered the market this summer with its PS-1 line, four compact models ranging in price from $1,000 to $2,000 and dedicated to such prosaic functions as home-

work, financial records, correspondence, information gathering and entertainment through software like Prodigy. The computers have built-in modems that allow communication with other PCs or information networks. Each cornputer, which can be bought at department or computer stores, arrives with all components in one box, ready to set up and go to work. Approaching from the other end of the market, Smith Corona, with long experience in home-use typewriters, has come up with a line of compact personal word processors. SCM word processors range from $500 to $900, with printers costing an additional $200 or $300, depending on type. Included in the line is the 6.5-pound PWP 7000LT, which the company says is the first laptop personal word processor in the industry, with

Appeals planned by area loggers LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP)— Thirty small logging operators are to file a joint administrative appeal protesting a decision to withdraw proposals dealing with selection logging and thinning on 3,477 acres, a spokesperson said. The Ouachita National Forest supervisor's office announced the decision to withdraw the proposals on Aug. 16. The forest covers LeFlore and McCurtain counties

in southeastern Oklahoma and several counties in southwestern Arkansas. Leaders of the Ouachita Watch League, a group of conservation organizations, are to join the appeal by the loggers. OWL members favor single-tree selection management over various forms of clearcutting or even-aged management in national forests.

ports for printers and modems to latch into on-line information services. SCM also is marketing a line of electronic typewriters ranging from $230 to $430, some with displays and keyboards similar to word processors. IBM, looking at a 20 millionunit market that is expected to double in five years, found that their potential consumers wanted something relatively simple to set up and start with but didn't skimp on more serious computing capabilities. "Because it was developed to meet the expressed needs of today's contemporary families, the

computer has the potential to become as necessary to the home as the microwave oven and as useful as the VCR," says IBM's James Cannavino. Each IBM model features Microsoft Works and an IBM DOS operating system, with Selectric Touch keyboard, Photo Graphic color or black-and-white high resolution display, and a mouse. Powered by Intel 80286 microprocessors, models offer options of either 512 kilobytes (KB) or 1 megabyte (MB) of memory. If more storage is needed, users can add optional equipment such as a 3.5-inch diskette drive, a 30

Volunteers bind racial ties PHILADEPHIA (AP)—When Tara Green and Barbara Merz make sandwiches for their local soup kitchen, they think they're only feeding the hungry. But the two 19-year-old Temple University students are also binding the racial and cultural fragments troubling today's college campuses. Tara Green is black; Barbara Merz is white. Volunteer projects like theirs at the Alpha Sigma Alpha sorority are a new kind of necessary glue, educators and activists say. With the help of civil rights law and university policies seeking more diversity, higher education is now pursued by those formerly kept out. Blacks, Hispanics, Asians, Native Americans, as well as the disabled and older students are taking their places in the classroom. Once there, they also organize. Like tiny nations, groups identified by race and heritage pursue their own interests, leading to campus fragmentation. But another kind of activism is gaining cachet on campus: extracurricular community service. This may be the way to reconnect the pieces of the shattered mosaic, some organizations say. "What we see are signs of community activity on campuses, both among majority students and students of color," said Susan Stroud, director of Campus Compact and the Center for Public Service.

Housed at Brown University in Rhode Island, Campus Compact is a national endeavor founded five years ago to promote volunteer activities as part of the college experience. Stroud adds, "There are some campuses that are making community service one of those ways

that one bridges the differences at campuses." "Mixing it up" is the philosophy adopted by the Campus Outreach Community League in St. Paul, Minn. Run mostly by recent college graduates and affiliated with 600 campuses, the organization fosters the idea that altruism isn't enough. When students arrange to build housing for the poor or tutor inner-city children, they must be

sure to draw participants from assorted races and ethnic backgrounds. It's this notion of bringing people together that inspired Diana Lugo to form "culture clusters" last year at California State Polytechnic University in Pomona. Students from various ethnic and racial backgrounds who did volunteer work met weekly during Lugo's senior year to talk about their respective cultures. "That's the only way we're going to learn about each other," said Lugo, a Mexican-American who now works at the California spinoff of Campus Compact. In Louisiana, where a fledgling white student union movement stirs fears of old racism in a new disguise and schools are still identified by color, 150 white and black students from eight New Orleans campuses joined forces one day in April to spruce up a mission for the homeless. That event was the work of Debra Thomas, New Orleans coordinator of the league and a recent graduate of Southern University at New Orleans. Like many in this new effort to integrate volunteer activities, she said it's too soon to know the longterm results. "But one of the things that has happened, it has provided a forum in which students have a chance to change some of their old perceptions. And that's a start."

New island boils into existence

First of two parts Editors's note: Nearly 30 years ago, a new volcanic island appeared in the North Atlantic, and it has been off-limits to all but scientists ever since. AP Scientific Editor Paul Raeburn is one of the few people to visit this most recent addition to the Earth's real estate.

SURTSEY, Iceland (AP)—In the early morning darkness on Nov. 14, 1963, a sudden turbulence rocked a fishing vessel 20 miles south of Iceland. When day broke, the thick smell of sulfur hung over the deck, and a towering column of smoke rose nearby. The crew of the Isleifur II watched as a fiery undersea eruption gave birth to a glowing volcanic island. That island, now called Surtsey, is the newest place on Earth. Before the lava cooled, Icelandic scientists decided Surtsey should be preserved as a natural laboratory. "I foresaw this was a golden opportunity to see how life would settle on the island," said Sturla Fridriksson, a biologist at Iceland's Agricultural Research Institute in Reykjavik. "I went out there in the first phases of the eruption and saw that birds were already using that dry place. The seagulls were apparently the first living things to set foot on the island." Since then, Surtsey has given

Bronchos out-horsed by SUSC T-birds gain 444 yards in 35-0 rout By Bill Kramer Sports Editor

Unlike the dramatic comeback victory a week ago over Southeastern, Central State University was unable to rally from a 21-0 halftime deficit Saturday, dropping a 35-0 decision to Southem Utah State College. The Bronchos (1-1) were crippled defensively with senior linebacker Wade Standley already out with an injury coupled with a strained left knee ligament injury to pre-season All-America linebacker Keith Traylor on the second defensive series, which sidelined him for the remainder of the game. Southern Utah (1-2) scored on its first possession for a 7-0 lead, going 64 yards in seven plays, capped by a one-yard touchdown run by running back Scott Firestone. Thunderbird quarterback Brad Matthews, not expected to play because of an injury in the season opener against Division I-AA Weber State, put on a show in Cedar City, Utah, completing 12 of 18 passes for 271 yards, running for one touchdown and passing for another. The Broncho defense, which allowed Southeastern only 68 yards on the ground a week earlier, allowed the Thunderbirds 173 rushing yards on 28 attempts. Ignited by a short punt from the CSU two-yard line, Southern Utah struck quickly again with 6:11 left

in the first quarter as Firestone caught a two-yard pass from Matthews and put the Thunderbirds on top 14-0. On only its third possession, CSU drove from their own 20 to the Southern Utah 20 and appeared ready to score, but a 15-yard clipping penalty halted the drive and forced the Bronchos to kick a long field goal. Following an offsides penalty against the Thunderbirds, CSU place kicker Lee Stamper was given another opportunity after missing from 42 yards. His second attempt from 37 yards was blocked by Southern Utah and recovered at the Thunderbird 45. Matthews and Southern Utah went right to work with a 46-yard strike, setting up the Thunderbirds with first and goal at the Broncho 8. Matthews scrambled in from two yards out to put his Thunderbirds up 21-0 with 12:26 left in the first half. The Broncho defense then dug in and shut down the high-octane attack of the Thunderbirds for the rest of the half. Despite tailback Pinkey Hurley's 57 yards rushing on 14 carries in the half, the CSU offense continued to struggle. Broncho starting quarterback Zane Burgess was 5 of 8 passing for 42 yards in the first half, but CSU remained scoreless. The seemingly golden opportunity for CSU came on the opening kickoff of the second half. Southern Utah fumbled, and the Bronchos recovered at the Thunderbird 16. On first and ten, however, CSU fumbled right back on a reverse play, and the Southern Utah dodged a bullet.

With 3:55 left in the third quarter, Firestone scampered into the end zone from a yard out, capping a 17-play, 66-yard scoring drive. The Thunderbirds had increased their lead to 28-0. Southern Utah iced the cake in

the fourth period with a 42-yard flee-flicker score from Steve Hutchings to Sidney Holmes. Combined with the fifth successful extra-point attempt by Thunderbird place kicker Rick Cadwallader, Southern Utah led 35-0,

which proved to be the final score. The Bronchos will try to get back to winning ways Saturday, playing host to highly touted California State-Northridge University in the home opener at 7:30 p.m. in Wantland Stadium.

Spikers return to action today The Central State University volleyball team improved to 12-2 Saturday, tying for first in the McPherson, Kan. Round Robin. CSU returns home Tuesday to play host to Bethel, Kan., College at 5 p.m. and Southern Nazarene University at 7 p.m. in the Broncho Field House.

The Central State University softball team played host Tuesday to last year's third-best Division I school: Oklahoma State University. The Lady Bronchos, who compete in NCAA Division II, dropped a triple-header to the Cowgirls, 5-0, 2-0 and 5-4. In the opener, the Pokes had a two-run second inning and held the Lady Bronchos scoreless on the shutout pitching performance by OSU's Heather Feltmann, who threw a one-hitter and struck out seven. OSU put both runs on the board in the top of the second when Cowgirl third baseman Sharon Sodano, who was 3-for-3, hit a single into center field with runners on second and third. CSU pitcher Jacquie Stephens hurled four innings of shutout ball and received strong support from the Lady Broncho defense, which turned two double plays in the five-inning scrimmage. In the second game, Cowgirl pitcher Chrissy Oliver gave up five hits and struck out five, and OSU cranked out seven hits and stranded seven CSU baserunners. "It goes without saying that they are a very strong team," CSU Coach Gerry Pinkston said. "Up to this point, 90 percent of the work we've done has been on defense, so I was extremely pleased with our play," Pinkston said. In the finale, OSU scored two runs in the top of the fifth inning to notch a 5-4 come-from-behind win over CSU. CSU responded with three runs in the bottom half of the third inning after OSU posted a 2-1 lead. Amy Douglas led off with a single to left center, followed by a bunt single by Christy George. Three consecutive errors by OSU fielders led to all three runs scored by CSU in the inning, putting the Lady Bronchos ahead 4-3. OSU scored two in the fifth and went up 5-4, and CSU was retired in order in the bottom half of the fifth. CSU plays host to Oklahoma Baptist University today with games at 4, 5 and 6 p.m.

Fashion highlights show By Kurt Fashimpaur Student Writer As part of upcoming centennial events, Central State University's fashion merchandising program will put on a fashion show Oct. 8, featuring fashions from 1890 to 1990. Clothing for the show, Centennial Reflections, will be provided by the Oklahoma Fashion Museum, housed in the Home Economics Building, said Dr. Darlene Kness, home economics associate professor. Contest models will include former Oklahoma First Lady Donna Nigh, Betty Price, Oklahoma Arts Council, Stacy Wyatt, Mrs. Oklahoma, USA, Terri Davis, Wm. E. Davis Foods, and Patty Orza, wife of gubernatorial candidate Vince Orza. "Everything from promotion, sets, luncheon arrangements, writ-

ing commentary and contacting prospective guests is being handled by students from the advanced fashion merchandising and fashion advertising and promotion classes," Kness said. "It's hands-on experience for the students," Kness said, "with things they'll be doing in their professions." In all, more than 70 students will be involved in the production. Kness said the show will con-

Lain primarily women's fashions, highlighted from every decade during the past 100 years. Most of the dresses were donated to the museum by the Oklahoma Fashion Group chapter, a national organization comprised of people employed in fashion merchandising-oriented careers, said Linda Jones, director of CSU's office of communications and publications. "They're not just old clothes," Jones said. "They're all designer fashions and most are very expensive." This is the first time the general public has been invited to one of the department's fashion shows, Kness said. Tickets are $15, with student tickets for $13, and must be purchased in advance. Seven dollars from each ticket purchase will be used for clothes maintenance and is tax deductable, Kness said. For ticket information call Ext. 5785.

TV news calls truce By Mark Schlachtenhaufen Staff Writer Now that television news wars between two local stations have ended, the Oklahoma City market may stabilize, a Central State University communications professor said. KFOR-TV4 and KOCO-TV5 had aired less than complimentary commercials about the other during the past several years, said Dr. Jack Deskin, assistant oral communications professor. "This was the first time I could recall air wars between Channel 4 and 5," said Deskin, who came to CSU in 1973. "It has been a very unstable market the past four or five years." Market size, determined in part by metropolitan population, is ranked by ratings services like Nielson and Arbitron, Deskin said. Currently, in market size, Oklahoma City is 40th, above Memphis and below Salt Lake City. Deskin characterized Oklahoma City, with a population of about 500,000, as a "very competitive" market. "There used to be an unwritten rule in television cities," Deskin said. "You would have to go to a small market and get your feet wet and get some experience. Then you moved up to a market like Oklahoma City." Channel-5 sports director Dean Blevins was hired without television experience, Deskin said. Blevins was hired for his savvy which

Chief executive officer of the American Stock Exchange will give his perspective of the U.S. economy and the effect of world events during a luncheon Friday at Central State University.

Stock Exchange. "In light of everything going on globally, especially in the Middle East, and the effect of those events on world markets, this is a rare opportunity to hear firsthand from one of the leaders in an increasingly global economy," said former Gov. George Nigh. Jones served as a member of the Exchange's Board of Governors since January 1987 and was a partner in the Washington law firm of Dickstein, Shapiro and Moin.

He received undergraduate degrees in journalism and government from the University of Oklahoma and a law degree from Georgetown University. He served in the U.S. Army as a captain in the Counterintelligence Corps. The luncheon is being hosted by the College of Business Administration and the Nigh Institute of State Government and will be held in the University Center Ballroom.

What's sex? 55 percent polled don't know, study shows people's feelings about themselves, their self-esteem," she said. A recurring theme in questions asked of her, she said, is "Am I normal? ... The reason we don't know what's normal is that we're not taught what's going on." Poll results emphasize a need for sex education of preadolescent children and of medical school students, because the poll found people turn to doctors for sex information, she said. Questions dealt with a variety of topics, including circumstances under which pregnancy is possible, erection problems, health and masturbation. A person flunked the test by getting fewer than 10 of the 18 questions correct. Less than 20 percent got at least 12 questions right, and only five people out of the 1,974 polled answered at least 16 questions corrctly, Reinisch said. The poll is described in a new book, "The Kinsey Institute New Report on Sex." At a news conference, Reinisch said the poll was financed by the book's publisher, St. Martin's Press, and the Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender and Reproduction.

In addition, The Roper Organization, which conducted the poll, was "very generous," she said. The poll involved face-to-face inerviews with a nationally representative sample of Americans, done last October as part of a larger Roper survey. Twelve questions were answered on a questionnaire that a person slipped into an envelope before returning to the interviewer. The margin of error was plus or minus 3 percentage points. The overall percentages exclude the 263 participants who answered 10 or fewer of the 18 items. The remaining participants were still a representative sample, Reinisch said. Participants from the Midwest generally scored best, with 55 percent passing, followed by 47 percent in the West, and 40 percent in the South and Northeast. "We never would have predicted this," Reinisch said. Overall there were no differences in accuracy by sex, but men did better in questions about sexual health care and contraception, Reinisch said.

"That's nothing to be proud of," Brisch said. "I have some problems with that. I wish Oklahoma higher education would not be in that position in the first place." State universities presented the regents with a list of campus needs. CSU administrators said the lack of campus facilities is nearing crisis proportions. A building projected to cost $8 million is the No. 1 project on CSU's list. Other projects include renovation of Howell Hall at $1.9 million, a multi-level parking garage at $4.5 million, and an education building at $5.8 million. The total CSU request to the regents for state-funded projects was $32.4 million.

"I think we are trying to do our best given the current circum stances," Brisch said. "If we do get more money, CSU certainly is a major participant given its strength in terms of its programs as well as its student numbers and the needs it has."

Oklahoma ballerina joins dance faculty By Lyne Gardner Student Writer A former Ballet Oklahoma member will join the dance department this semester at Central State University. Dr. Homer L. Coker, chairman of health, physical education, recreation and dance, said they needed an adjunct faculty member for the ballet classes. Anne Blasdel was suggested by Jamie Jacobson, Kaleidoscope director, he said. Blasdel said she was not aware the position at CSU was available until Caroline Glasgow, director of the Edmond School of Ballet, told her about the opening. "What I am giving to the CSU ballet students is a better knowledge of the basics in ballet technique," she said.

Semper Fi Club to help officer candidates prepare

-

Currently, Blasdel is teaching beginning ballet. Next semester, she will teach intermediate ballet. "The beginning ballet class is made up of students that want to learn. They all have an excellent attitude towards the class," Blasdel said. "Having Anne join the dance department shows we have a growing need for additional faculty in the department," Jacobson said. "CSU is very fortunate to have her. She has excellent qualifications, enjoys teaching, and provides a warm working environment for the students." Blasdel taught ballet three years at the Edmond School of Ballet. She performed with Ballet Oklahoma from September 1983 until May 1984.

Clarification In the Sept. 6 issue of The Vista, the editorial referred to funds allocated to the University of Oklahoma, Oklahoma State University and Central State University. The figures used were comprised of the total funding for all branches of the three separate universities. In undergraduate funding only, OU was allocated $78,579,997, OSU received $79,507,003, and CSU, $26,101,235.

Kristin Vincent The Freshman Queen Candidate for 1990

By Sam Powell Student Writer A national fraternal organization, the Semper Fi Club, is corning to Central State University with the express purpose of helping Marine officer candidates prepare for the platoon leaders class, said Mike Taylor, the club's organizer. The paperwork for the CSU chapter was submitted during the second week of school, Taylor said. "The Semper Fi Club and the platoon leaders class is not like

ROTC," Taylor said. "The only commitment the officer candidates have is a summer training program. "Once the summer training is completed and degree requirements are fulfilled the student may quit the program or accept a cornmission," Taylor said. "The majority of Marine Corps officers come through the platoon leaders class." Participants in the platoon leaders class receive $100 a month during the academic year, he said. If a candidate decides not to accept a commission after graduation the money must be paid back.

However, it is still a benefit to the student, because the money acts as no a interest loan, Taylor said. The Marine Corps career guide lists four ways to become an officer: platoon leaders class, officer candidates class, Navy ROTC with a Marine Option and the U.S. Naval Academy. According to the career guide, the platoon leaders class for freshmen and sophomores consists of two six-week training sessions at Quantico, Virginia. Juniors attend one 10-week session. Travel costs to and from Quantico, meals and textbooks are furnished by the government.
