Students vote on new constitution

By Mark Mitchell Student Writer The revised Student Association constitution was placed before voters yesterday for their consideration during the fall SA elections.

Central State University Student Association President Lisa Coen signed the revised constitution after the senate met Monday.

Results of the election were not in yet at press time.

In other business, Coen made two appointments, one to fill the Residence Halls Association vacancy on the senate and one to the Supreme Court.

Coen urged the Continuum Committee and the senate to approve Amanda Qualls as RHA representative to the senate and Kimberly Mentor to the Supreme Court.

Vice President Jerry Blansett informed the senators that each must serve an hour at the polls during the election Wednesday.

Blansett announced there would be no elections in the Colleges of Math and Science, Education, or Business, however there would be a mandatory election in the College of Liberal Arts.

Resolutions dealing with student access to the lights at the tennis courts after 11 p.m. and school color use at homecoming both failed.

Resolution 88-101 dealing with the chess tournament was referred to committee and will be brought before the assembly Sept. 26.

Resolution 88-103 Student Assembly by-laws will also be considered at that time.

Water rate increase delayed by council

By Tina Davis Student Writer The Edmond City Council decided Sept. 19 to hold off raising water rates again until the need can be investigated further.

Prior to a July 1 rate increase, Central State University and Edmond public schools were paying a flat rate of $1.23 per 1,000 gallons of water.

On July 1 the rates for CSU and the public schools increased from

the flat rate to a two-tier system of $2.95 for the first 1,000 gallons and $1.83 for each 1,000 gallons thereafter.

The flat rate was deleted in order to meet a debt service from Arcadia Lake, according to Assistant City Manager Patsy Sandefur. It is presently costing the city about $3 per 1,000 gallons to treat and deliver the water, said City Manager Max Speegle.

CSU crest sweat-shirts will sell for $17. All proceeds will benefit the business clubs.

CSU faculty will be wearing the shirts next Wednesday to help promote sales and participation in University Fest activities, said Kinzer. (Photo by Daniel Smith)

Political activities planned Young Democrats Young Republicans

By Valli Covert Associate Editor Central State University's Young Democrats will be registering voters Monday and Tuesday.

"Our main goal is to get as many people registered as possible," said Bret Purser, president of CSU Young Democrats.

A booth will be set up in the Liberal Arts Building in the lobby Sept. 26 from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

Voters can register Sept. 27 at the University Center, first floor by the Oklahoma Room, from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

People interested in joining the Young Democrats can do so by signing up at voter registration booths.

The next meeting will be Sept. 24. The group will discuss plans for its University Fest booth. Information about the Young Democrats will be available during voter registration, Purser said.

By Dee Reisman Student Writer The College Republicans, a group of college students interested in actively promoting Republican ideals on campus, have planned several activities for the semester, according to Julie Conatser, acting chairman of the Central State University chapter.

Conatser said the CSU chapter is an active branch headed up by State Chairman Robert Fits, a student at CSU. The College Republicans will have a booth for homecoming to help educate students about the differences between the presidential candidates, said Conatser.

College Republicans will also support a voter registration on campus some time this semester, said Conatser.

The sponser of the CSU chapter is Leroy Crozier, chairman of the political science department, Conaster said.

Regents may boost admission standards

Governor Henry Bellmon spoke at Central State University Monday to nearly 400 people from agency boards and commissions on the topic "Achieving Excellence Through Service as a Regent, Board or Commission Member"

By Martha Giglio Editor The Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education recommended for discussion a proposal to raise admissions standards at both comprehensive and regional schools in Oklahoma Sunday, said Jeanie Edney, director of information.

Central State University's proposed admissions requirements would mandate that students be in the upper half of their high school class rather than the upper two-

thirds.

Also, admissions would be based on both students' class standings and their ACT scores rather than one or the other, Edney said.

If passed, new admissions requirements would go into effect in 1990 for OU and OSU, and in 1991 at CSU and other regional institutions, said Edney.

Public discussions are planned for Oct. 17 in Tulsa and Nov. 9 at the regent's office at the State Capitol.

lacks staff

■■ 110Fiati: owszomi irribreariqi 16.11. •

To the editor: Why is pay for journalists so poor in Oklahoma? Working 40 hours a week and getting a salary for only 20 hours a week leads to mothers and fathers being overworked.

Letter This is very frustrating for the children when parents go out of their way to make a newspaper. If people that read the newpaper enjoy it, why can't the people who write it enjoy what they do?

Kids may not understand why people go all out for almost nothing!

And they call this "The land of opportunity?" Ha! Ann Giglio sixth-grade student

Editor's note: The Vista staff has been working over-time without pay to produce a quality newspaper. For several years, a small, inadequate staff has been forced to operate like this. Additional staff persons are desperately needed. But we are told there is no money for it. We apologize if the quality must deteriorate so the staff may attend classes, study and see their families once in a while.

Editor from the Oklahoma State University campus newspaper are urging students to wage a massive letter writing campaign to protest increases in tuition.

The Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education boosted tuition rates in July by the highest increase in the history of Oklahoma colleges. Hikes ranging from I 1 to 45 percent were approved unamimously by the regents.

According to the regents, students in Oklahoma colleges and universities have been paying only about half as much for tuition and fees as students at similar institutions in the region. The regents are attempting to bring fees closer to the regional average.

Commentary According to The Oklahoman, an O'Collegian columnist, Tom Turvey, wants students to let the state regents and Dr. Hans Brisch,

chancellor, "know OSU students refuse to be treated like secondclass citizens."

Isn't that a contradiction in terms? If the regents are attempting to improve the quality of education in this fair state, are they not treating students as first-

class citizens?

Oklahoma has coasted along for too long on the prosperity of the oil industry. Residents must accept the fact that they are responsible for paying their own way. Students in particular must realize that higher education is a privilege, not a right. They cannot demand to be educated. They ought to carry their own weight.

OSU students who are bellyaching about tuition hikes resemble a bunch of two-year-olds having temper tantrums. They need

to grow up and accept responsibility for their own lives. If they want to be educated, let them pay for it.

Fee increases for OSU, a comprehensive school, and CSU, a regional school, are comparable.

However, out of nearly $29 million in additional funds appropriated by the Legislature for higher education, 86 percent went to OSU and OU. The remaining meager 14 percent was scattered to the regional institutions, of which CSU is one.

Come on guys. What are you complaining about? You received the lion's share of funding, yet you whine about having to pay $230 more per year for your own education? Get real. CSU students received a comparable tuition hike, the school received a paltry sum from the legislature, yet not one student has written to The Vista to moan and urge his classmates to howl to the regents or the legislature. Perhaps they are too busy studying and taking responsibility for their own lives.

Editor : 'stay with sports' To the Editor: I certainly hope Mark Finley

has never misspelled a word, used improper grammer or used wrong punctuation because according to his "astute" reasoning he would no longer qualify to be a reporter for The Vista.

I totally disagree with Finley's opinion of Bush, however, it is his opinion that seems to justify the assessment that athletic reporters use their brain when thinking.

Letter Besides, Finley's opinion should not have had a by-line, unless his opinion is represen-

tative of. the newspaper staff as a

whole. Wouldn't it have been better suited as a letter to the editor?

Is Finley trying to say that Dukakis is a better choice for president? What about his track record? At this very moment, Dukakis is back-peddaling on his original stand against appropriate spending for an adequate military defense budget.

And has Finley not checked into the financial "situation" in Dukakis' home state? When he went into office as governor the state had money in the bank and now there is a huge deficit even though taxes have been raised.

Should a man be elected to the office of president who feels it is

just fine to allow convicted murderers out of prison for weekend furloughs?

George Bush may have misquoted the name of the month but what about Dukakis saying he had been 18 months in the rice paddies of Korea at a time when the Korean "conflict" had long been concluded? Now, if that isn't a zinger, what is it? And wouldn't you know it, Dukakis made this major blunder on the very day that George made his mistake. It's a real "shame on the press" for not giving both events equal coverage.

Finley, stay with sports, not politics!

Kremm to publish historical articles

By William Philpott Student Writer Dr. Diane Kremm, associate professor of history, will have two articles published in historical journals this academic year.

In December, "Treason or Patriotism? Union Peace Societies in Arkansas During the Civil War," will be published in the

Journal of Confederate History.

Kremm's second article is "Seduction, Accommodation, or Realism?: Tabbs Gross and the Arkansas Freeman." It will be published in The Arkansas Historical Quarterly in March.

According to Dr. Clif' Warren, dean of Liberal Arts, Kremm is one of the most productive individuals in the history depart-

ment and has been published in many distinguished journals.

Kremm developed several courses in the history department such as History of Slavery, Great Women in History, and History of Witchcraft.

Warren said of Kremm, "She is an excellent teacher who has a wonderful rapport with her students, and I appreciate her research and scholarly endeavors."

Kremm has been with Central State University for 10 years. She received her bachelor's degree from Winthrop College in South Carolina, her master's from Clemson University and a doctorate from Kent State University in Ohio.

Chinese tour to perform

By Salina Nik Idris Student Writer The Chinese Youth Goodwill Mission from Taiwan will be performing "An Adventure in Chinese Songs and Dances" Sept.

It is a Chinese cultural show that consists of Chinese classical dance and songs, said Irene Wu, spokesperson for the Chinese Student Association. The program will start at 7:30 p.m., and admission is $2 per person.

The event is held annually. The group tours the United States to give performances. Last year the performance was held at Edmond High School.

Hsiu-pin Hsia, president of CSA at Central State University, said the Edmond show was very popular.

The group consists of about twenty students from various universities in Taiwan, said wu.

Foreign languages now one dept.

By Kamal MazIan Student Writer Foreign languages, effective this fall, have been reestablished as a separate department after four years of being placed with the philosophy and humanities department.

"Since student enrollment was high in foreign languages, we felt it was appropriate to have languages as a single, separate department," said Dr. Albert Lynd, assistant vice president of academic affairs.

"Moreover, because of the growing interest and emphasis on languages by students, faculty and employers, it became increasingly obvious that we're dealing in an area of study with increasing importance," he said.

The recommendation to make languages into a separate department was made two years ago by Dr. Clif' Warren, dean of college of liberal arts, through the office for academic affairs at CSU. The recommendation was ap-

proved by the State Board of Regents of Oklahoma Colleges in late spring this year, said Lynd.

According to Dr. Clarence Parker, former chairperson of the humanities and foreign language department, languages were a separate entity prior to 1984.

"But in fall 1984, the foreign language department were combined with philosophy and humanities into a single department because the then Academic Vice President Jim Perry said the College of Liberal Arts had too many departments compared to other colleges, and therefore, had to be reduced," said Parker.

Parker said there are several reasons to separate languages from philosophy and humanities: Languages involve teaching teachers. Many language majors are education majors, in order to become teachers in public schools.

Also, foreign language has very little in common with philosophy and humanities, in terms of structure, class organization, goals and

objectives, said Parker.

Ann Phillips, the new chairperson of the languages department, said the increase in enrollment in Spanish this fall is largely due to the influx of Spanish/speaking people into the U.S., and to the bright business prospects in Latin America.

The department is now offering a practicum, at the request of the State Department of Corrections, in which CSU students work with parolees who only speak Spanish.

Also, the department will offer evening classes for business, Spanish and German next spring because of growing student demand, she said.

Spanish," Phillips added, "has been offered for the last four years. Several of our students have formed their own import/export companies, joined international companies, or have used their new knowledge in their present positions."

"There is also interest in Chinese because of the increasing

importance of China in trade, cultural exchange, and travel," said Phillips.

Phillips said she would like to see more students see the importance of languages in general education and business. "They need to know and understand about cultural differences to help them in the business world or traveling. Lack of proficiency in languages can mean poor business dealings or offensive and insensitive remarks," said Phillips.

Phillips has been with the languages department at CSU for 22 years. She earned her B.A. in Spanish at Oklahoma State University, Stillwater, and her Master's in Spanish at Oklahoma University, Norman. She studied for one year at a university in Bogota, Colombia and taught two years at another university there.

The department presently has four full/time faculty, four adjunct faculty, and one graduate assistant, Phillips said.

Bio Club elects officers, plans plant sale

By Tim Earley Student Writer The Central State University Biology & Health Sciences Club has elected officers and made plans for University Fest Homecoming activities, according to Dr. David Bass, assistant professor of biology and co-sponsor of the club.

Sheila Lynam was elected president; Kamal Haydari was chosen as vice-president; and Si Chai Wong was elected secretary, Bass said.

Club members also outlined plans for a plant sale to be held during University Fest, said Dr. Margaret Hamilton, health professions coordinator and cosponsor of the club.

The plant sale will be held at the Biology Club tent during University Fest. The tent will be located in Thatcher Lake north of the University Center. The plant sale begins Thursday, Sept. 29 and continues thru Saturday , Oct. 1.

"The plant sale is not only open to students and faculty, but to the public as well. There will be plant bargains." Hamilton said.

The club will also sponsor a drawing for a large, potted plant, Hamilton said.

Hamilton isn't sure what the club will do with the money from the plant sale. "We hope we can

agree on some kind of community project. We don't want to just use the money on ourselves. We want to do something to help beautify something or help someone else," Hamilton said.

The Biology Club is open to anyone who is interested in biology. There are no dues, Bass said.

Pro challenges CSU dancers

By Rhonda Shalaby

Associate Editor William Conrow, dancerchoreographer, is teaching Central State University's Kaleidoscope Dancers a new modern dance this week as their guest artist-in-residence, according to Jamie Jacobson, director and choreographer for Kaleidoscope.

Conrow is the co-founder of a contemporary dance theater in Edmond, StarDanceSwan. He is also the choreographer and technical director of Oklahoma Shakespeare in the Park.

"I looked at the dancers' abilities," Conrow said, "and I will give them the kind of dance that will really challenge them."

Conrow will show the Kaleidoscope dancers different approaches to ballet and jazz, he said.

"It (the dance) is purely modern; I won't do anything very dramatic or jazzy because many of the dancers aren't very experienced."

The 34-year-old professional dancer also added that the dance he choreographed, entitled "Solitude," is too hard for the Kaleidoscope dancers to do right now, and they will have to expand their abilities for the next six months before they are able to perform it.

The Kaleidoscope Dancers will give the premiere performance of

In addition to working with Kaleidoscope Dancers, Conrow will conduct a master dance class from 1 till 2:30 this afternoon in the Health and Physical Education Building, room 20. Enrollment is free and open to any dancer.

No credit will be given for taking the class, Jacobson said.

StarDanceSwan has one of the most recognized chilren's dance theatre programs in the nation, according to Conrow.

Conrow said he works extensively with children. Since the inception of StarDanceSwan in 1982, he has trained about 5,000 youngsters from the Edmond area.

As a choreographer and technical director of Oklahoma Shakespeare in the Park, Conrow said, "I make sure that all the production details are carried out well."

"I do the scene design and construction, prop construction and gathering, and I coordinate costumes and the lights for the show," he said.

Before moving to Oklahoma, Conrow danced for Wimmer and Wimmer Dance Company and Barry Lynn Dance Company, both located in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Conrow received his training from several private schools in Utah, including Ballet West and Repertory Dance Theatre. In addition, he acquired acting and technical theatre training through the University of Utah and the University of Wisconson theatre departments.

"I'm foremost a dancer, but writing is my future; it's what I'm most excited about," he said.

Conrow just concluded writing his third play entitled "Broken Clocks and Wristy Watches."

Conrow's residency is sponsored by the CSU Cultural Arts Committee.

Sports Cross country squads open season

By Alex Eby Student Writer

Central State University's men's and women's cross country teams opened their season Sept.

16 at the Oklahoma Christian College Invitational. The men turned in a strong third place showing, while the women finished fifth overall.

Coach Paul Parent approached the meet "just wanting to see how the team would run," and was "pleasantly surprised" with their performance.

"It was an interesting meet.

The men are further along than they were at this time last year, and the women ran about like I expected them to." Parent said.

The Broncho men placed five runners in the top 20 finishers on the 8,000 meter course. The women, who are only in their second year of competition, placed two runners in the top 25 on a slightly shorter 5,000 meter course.

Co-captain Steve Heffernan turned in the Bronchos highest finish , placing eighth with a time of 27:14 in the 56 man field. "I thought he ran an exceptional race," said Parent, "since he's coming off a bad achilles tendon injury."

Dwayne Antonio turned in a time of 27:35 to place eleventh.

Bill Uptergrove turned in a time

of 27:56 to edge out teammate Tim Helms mark of 27:58 for the thirteenth position. Uptergrove finished in the fourteenth spot.

Rounding out the top 20 for CSU was Peterson Chee placing eighteenth with a time of 28:22.

"We have a lot of new faces on the team this year. Out of the nine member squad only three competed for us last year," said Parent. "We're just trying to get used to each other at this point," he added.

The women were led by team captain Kevette Smargiassi. She finished sixth in the field of 36 runners posting a time of 20:55.

"I knew she (Smargiassi) would be a good competitor and she didn't let us down," Parent said.

Smargiassi was supported by a twenty-third place showing by Paula Sawyer and a twentyseventh finish by teammate Stacy Bludworth. Sawyer had a time of 23:59, and Bludworth turned in a time of 26:45.

"Some of the girls realized that they hadn't put in enough work.

They just weren't in shape, but they will be by the end of the year," said Parent.

The cross country team's next meet will be Sept. 23 at John Brown University in Arkansas.

Bronchos to face challenge at Mesa

By Mark Finley

Sports Editor Following a season opening 31-7 gridiron loss to Southeastern State, the Central State Bronchos are preparing to take their act on the road this Saturday as they meet NAIA's second-ranked Mesa College in Grand Junction, Colo.

This will be only the second meeting between the two schools.

Their first meeting was for the NAIA championship in 1982 when the Bronchos defeated the Mavericks for the title, 14-11.

The Mavericks, 1-1 on the year, are coming off a 42-28 loss at the hands of NCAA Division II

member Southern Utah. Mesa won their opening game over Montana State, also a NCAA Division 11 school, by a 41-7 margin.

Mesa has earned their number two ranking by virtue of their 11-1 record of a year ago. The Mavericks return 17 starters from a team that made it to the semifinals last year before losing to eventual runner-up CarsonNewman.

Mesa's offense is led by second team All-American halfback Mike Vaughn who led the NAIA in rushing last season, and first team All-American tackle Shawn Feldman.

Vaughn gave an outstanding performance last week rushing for 200 yards on 21 carries in a losing effort against Southern Utah, even though he wasn't expected to play because of a bruised hip.

Vaughn's back-up Marlo Johnson is another threat in the Maverick arsenal as he picked up 151 yards on the ground on 27 carries.

In all, Mesa racked up 534 yards in total offense against Southern Utah, with 368 of it coming on the ground, but couldn't overcome SUU's 14-point rally in the final three minutes that stole the game from the Mavericks.

At quarterback, the Mavericks possess a fine talent in Tony Martin. The 6-1, 185-pounder passed for over 1,100 yards last season and through two games this year is 18 of 36 for 361 yards.

"Mesa's got an experienced ball club," said Broncho head man Gary Howard. "They return a lot

"We've got to make them execute; put them deep in their territory and above all not give up the big play" of starters and are a real talented offensive team. They have an oustanding quarterback who can run, scramble and throw the ball.

They're pretty complete, offensively."

With the return of nine starters on defense, the Mavericks look very solid. Though they lost both of their defensive ends to graduation, Mesa will still be tough to run on as tackles Chris Allen (6-5, 250 pounds) and Mike Turnbull (6-2, 250 pounds), along with nose guard Gerry Strabala (5-11, 225 pounds) spearhead an experienced defense.

The linebacker corp is led by John Pagano in the middle, and Brian Johnson on the outside.

Though both are somewhat small at their positions (Pagano going at 215 pounds, while Johnson weighs in at 200 pounds), they make up for it with their quickness and experience.

For the Bronchos to have any success in the air, they'll have to do it against the secondary of Doug Batten, Jamie Roles and Gilbert Garcia. All three of these players have the experience to cover anything CSU throws at them.

For CSU to have any success, they will have to avoid the big turnovers that they suffered at Southeastern. The Bronchos fumbled seven times against the Savages, losing three of them.

Two of the fumbles killed scoring drives while the third led to a touchdown for Southeastern.

"We've got to go out there and play good field position," said Howard. "We've got to make them execute; put them deep in their territory and above all not give up the big play that they are capable of making."

"Obviously, we've got to sustain something offensively and eliminate our mistakes," Howard said. "We certainly can't afford to put the ball on the ground like we did against Southeastern if we expect to win."

CSU received bad news last week when starting offensive lineman Buck Irwin went down in practice suffering from strained ligaments in his knee. The 6-7, 293-pound tackle will be out of action for at least four to six weeks, and should escape the surgeon's knife. Doug Brown, a 6-1, 238 pounder from Norman, will replace Irwin.

The line is already a soft spot on the depth chart as Bronchos now have only seven healthy bodies to fill the positions.

Another line-up change has Idabel freshman Glen Braxton taking over as the starting fullback. Braxton was expected to take over that spot when he returned to playing shape after missing fall drills because of his baseball committment.

Kick-off for Saturday night's game is set for 7:30 p.m. (MST) in Grand Junction and can be heard on KCSC radio (90.1 FM).

The Bronchos open their home season the next week on Oct. 1 against East Texas State.

Bentsen emphasizes • educational policies

By Valli Covert

Associate Editor Democratic vice presidential candidate Lloyd Bentsen greeted about 500 supporters at a rally at Leadership Square in Oklahoma City Tuesday.

At the rally Bentsen outlined some of his and Democratic presidential hopeful Michael Dukakis' views on education, family farmers, banks, environmental issues, health care and child care.

"We believe a college educsation should be a right, not a privilege, in this land of opportunity. We believe every qualified high school student should be able to go to college regardless of his family's income," Bentsen said.

"We are proposing a program of college loans, repayable through payroll deductions, to make the dream of an education a reality for all our people," he said.

After the downtown rally, Bentsen attended a $1,000 a plate fundraising luncheon at Applewoods Restaurant in Oklahoma City before meeting with about 20 newspaper editors and reporters from around the state.

At the panel discussion, Bentsen said he had seen a very specific plan proposed for high school students wanting to attend college.

Low interest long-term loans would be made available to

students or their parents, and the repayment of those loans could be made over lifetime payroll deductions. Federal loans currently have to be repaid over a period of 10 years, he said.

The Pell Grant, a federal grant for low income students, would also be reinstated for more students under a Dukakis/Bentsen administration, he said.

Bentsen also said that some kind of incentive needs to be given to people interested in becoming college professors, especially in the fields where there are shortages. He did not say what those fields were, however.

Another issue he stressed was that over 5,000 farms have been liquidated this year and "we can not afford four more years of crisis in farming."

"If you want to see what has happened, just look at what has happened to the energy economy in Oklahoma since George Bush became vice-president. In 1981, there were 755 (oil) rigs working in Oklahoma and today we have 129," Bentsen said.

"This (Reagan) administration talks a good game on energy, ...but their energy policy is as empty as Dan Quayle's resume," he said.

Bentsen described himself as a persuader and not a confronter.

He also said a vice presidential candidate can hurt as well as help his running mate.

'Furlough Dukakis' reets Bentsen rally

By Valli Covert

Associate Editor "Furlough Dukakis" protest signs met Democratic vice presidential candidate Lloyd Bentsen at Leadership Square in Oklahoma City Tuesday.

Bentsen is claiming to be a conservative, but is running with a liberal, said Central State University student Robert Fitts, who was one -of the demonstrators at the Bentsen rally.

All of the demonstrators were students from CSU, Oklahoma City University and the University of Oklahoma, he said.

Fitts, who is state chairman of College Republicans, said the five or six protestors were objecting to Democratic presidential candidate Michael Dukakis' allowing convicted murderers weekend passes.

Julie Conatser, another CSU student who was unable to attend the protest, said "Bentsen agrees more with (Vice President George) Bush and (Republican vice presidential hopeful Dan) Quayle than Dukakis, a liberal.

Regents Continued from page 1 "By focusing on the role of institutions we can increase a student's opportunity to succeed.

Students could develop skills at regional schools and succeed two years later at OU or OSU, said Edney.

A decision should be reached by December depending on how discussions go, Edney said.

CSU President Bill Lillard said he has not had time to study the proposal, but he will study it and prepare something to present at the Tulsa hearing.

"The present requirements seem to serve the student body in a very effective manner," said Lillard.

"Dukakis furloughs more than one murderer a day," Fitts said.

"We are looking at pocket book issues. We believe the federal government should be left out of the financing for education, and leave it to the states."

Most college students are more interested in part-time jobs and are worried about Dukakis raising taxes, "which he said he would," Fitts said.

"Bentsen is selling out to an outright liberal named Michael Dukakis."

In a Sept. 9 utility review, the Edmond Public Works Authority proposed another rate increase after stating that the rate increase 4 July 1 would not generate sufficient revenues to pay for capital equipment reserve, improvements to water and sewer works, and depreciation of the infrastructure.

CSU spent $17,399 for approximately 14 million gallons of water in July and August 1987, compared with $23,956 for approximately 13 million gallons of water in July and August 1988, according to Nick Widener, CSU Comptroller.
