OKLAHOMA CITY (AP)—A ride inspector at the Oklahoma State Fair died Saturday after being struck by a roller coaster car, officials said Oklahoma City Police Sgt.

OKLAHOMA CITY—Geographical limitations cited in a report released Wednesday by the Oklahoma Regents for Higher Education contradict the expanding role of Central State University, one regent said. Area colleges offering freshman and sophomore-level courses are hampered by confusion and a separately-operated votech system, according to the study prepared by a nationally-recognized education expert. Dr. Dale Parnell, president of the American Association of Community and Junior Colleges, focused on five institutions and suggested methods to maximize quality and efficiency. CSU, El Reno Junior College (ERJC), Oklahoma City Community College (OCCC), Oklahoma State University Technical Branch—Oklahoma City (OSUTB) and Rose State College (RSC) were studied. Regents estimate a two-month wait for any substantive recommendations from the report, but legislative action could be forthcoming, said George Kaiser, regents' chairman at a capitol press conference. A college district plan would not include CSU and RSC, but involve only Oklahoma City community colleges. CSU should rely on current strengths, according to the report. Using current resources, OSUTB should merge with ERJC, and OCCC if enough tax support exists, the report cited. Please see REPORT on page 2.

Also, the regents should organize a "uniform course numbering system" for state public institutions to aid student transfer. A regent said the study could produce some interesting results. "As a taxpayer, I welcome this study as an example of higher education's determination to spend tuition and tax dollars as wisely and efficiently as possible to meet not only the needs of our students, but of our taxpayers," said Frederick McCann, regent representative. Clyde Jacob, academic affairs vice president, said CSU continually strives to cooperate with twoyear colleges. "I'd simply like to add that we are involved and working with two-year institutions," Jacob said. "In fact, the largest number of our graduating students tend to be transfer students." Parnell and study co-author Al Philips, president emeritus Tulsa Junior College, visited area insitudons last June, and talked to legislators, businessmen, college administrators and regents. Report findings include: mission clarifications, economic development improvements and service area establishments. CSU is defined as being within the Oklahoma City metropolitan area and a regional university. A growing graduate program coupled with a sizable rural, regional and international student population separate CSU from other colleges, said Belva Howard, Board of Regents Oklahoma Col-

leges president. Jacob concurred with Howard on geographical definition, but he

••• we are involved and working with twoyear institutions. In fact, the largest number of our graduating students tend to be transfer students. —Dr. Clyde Jacob, CSU president of academic affairs

deferred further comment until the report could be reviewed. The University of Oklahoma is about the same distance from Ok-

lahoma City as is CSU, yet OU was omitted from the report, Howard said. CSU has no office for area community and junior colleges, and there are no long-range plans despite present communications, the report cited. It questioned the need for CSU's developmental program with increased emphasis on upper division and graduate areas. CSU has a mandate as a regional university, and it should end lower division, off-campus courses, the report suggested. CSU should maintain upper division and graduate programs. "It must be pointed out that it is usually easier to build a new house than to significantly repair the old structure. The same can be said for organizations," the report summarized.

Colleges to examine role of older student By Mark Schlachtenhaufen Staff Writer Older, non-traditional students will make more of an impact on higher education as the need for career-change training grows, an official said Wednesday at a regents' briefing. "One reason we've done a little bit better with the non-traditional, older student is that many institutions were desperate to fill their classrooms when the 18-year-old

(student population) went down," said Dale Parnell, president of the American association of community junior colleges. As a result, institutions added more programs for working adults, like night courses, Parnell said. "We didn't used to like to give courses at night because faculty didn't want to teach at night or on Friday afternoon," he said. "We've got to look better at our older people and at retraining them."

Recommendations were also made to consolidate junior colleges in Oklahoma City and El Reno Junior College and possibly OSU's vo-tech school if an adequate tax base exists.

CSU and Rose State College would not be included in the new college district plan, according to Jacob. "It's always good on occasion to simply stop dead in your tracks and look at yourself in the mirror, and that is exactly what this study allowed us to do," Jacob said. "Anytime you look at yourself in the mirror you always find a few strands of hair out of place," he said. CSU could look to more efficient recruitment from high schools and junior colleges and could better coordinate curricular offerings between two-year colleges at the lower-division level, Jacob said. Regents planned to discuss the Parnell report Monday at their regular meeting in Lawton.

Greenspan gives gloomy report WASHINGTON (AP)—Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan told Congress Wednesday that the Persian Gulf crisis has piled "new and substantial risks" on an already faltering national economy. In a generally gloomy assessment of U.S. economic prospects, Greenspan said the jump in oil prices since Iraq's Aug. 2 invasion of Kuwait had increased the threat of both higher inflation and a recession. But private economists said Greenspan's pessimistic comments reflected the tough choices facing him. Normally, rising unemployment and other signs of sluggish growth would prompt the central bank to slash interest rates in order to spur demand. But the oil price shock means that the country is now in the grips of its worst bout of inflation in nine years, with consumer prices climbing at an annual rate of 6.2 percent.

Voters limit legislative term, 2-1 OKLAHOMA CITY (AP)—Oklahoma voters grabbed the chance to get rid of the faceless embodiment of their frustrations when they enacted the nation's first legislative term-limitation proposal, a veteran state legislator said Wednesday. "People always are upset with the Legislature as the `they,' but they like their own legislator," said state Sen. Gene Stipe a McAlester Democrat who has been in the Oklahoma Legislature since 1949 with only one four-year break in service. 'This was a chance to strike out at the rascals, and they took it." But, said Stipe, "the sky is not going to fall. This will not take effect for 12 years. The pendulum of public opinion swings back and the people generally right any wrong they have done."

Bush greeted by demonstrators SAN FRANCISCO (AP)—Demonstrators denouncing the Middle East military buildup and the Bush administration's AIDS policies protested a speech by the president Wednesday, some pelting police with symbolic lasagna noodles. About 85 of the estimated 500 demonstrators were arrested, police said. Chanting "Bush and Quayle belong in jail," demonstrators faced off with hundreds of officers in riot gear. The demonstrators beat drums, rattled metal barricades and hurled bagels, melon slices and lasagna noodles at the officers The noodle-tossing was organized by ACT-up—AIDS Coalition To Unleash Power, which accuses Bush of ignoring a commission's recommendations to speed federal approval of various new drugs, including some for AIDS patients. The commission is headed by Dr. Louis Lasagna and was formed by Bush when he was vice president.

Relationships class attracts 83 students By Lyne Gardner Student Writer

nistrators opened enrollment for 23 additional students, a total enrollment of 83 students.

A psychological relationships class at Central State University opened and closed enrollment three times to accomodate the more than 80 students who wanted to take the class, said Dr. Charles M. Whipple, professor of psychology and personnel service. Whipple's class, Loving and Liking, has the largest enrollment in the psychology department this semester, said Darrell E. Gilliland, admissions director. After the class was closed in June, with 40 students enrolled, the section was opened up again in August for 20 more students. During the first week of school, admi-

"The limited classroom availability was the main problem behind the number of students allowed to enroll in the course," Whipple said. "We had to switch rooms three times. "People have a tremendous need to know more about relationships and what is normal and abnormal in relationships—the way it is in the real world," he said. Whipple said he discusses mating, dating, friendships and how to get along with people. "I take a scientific, no-nonsense approach to the course," Whipple said.

Crow concert draws 350 About 350 to 400 people attended guitarist/singer Robin Crow's concert Wednesday at Centennial Square. The concert was sponsored by Central State University's Student Association. Joacquin Stevens, Student Association interim speaker, said the concert was a success. He said the turnout was good, the music was great, and people were buying tapes of the performer being sold at a booth near the stage. Crow's performance continued about 90 minutes, playing jazz renditions of pop songs by artists such as Michael Jackson and Pink Floyd as well as his own original material.

Editorial

Modern music should be taught ny major part of a culture which involves a significant number of artists and their audiences merits scholarly focus and development. Yet most music schools around the country disdain any serious consideration of the dominant American music form of the last forty years: rock 'n' roll. If college music schools claim to study the music of their parent cultures—or for that matter, the world—then one wonders why most universities don't offer studies in rock music. Or for that matter, blues, country western, folk or even Afro-Carribean forms like reggae. One argument is that rock music is too easy to play. It may be relatively, technically easy, but music has other aspects to consider besides how difficult it is to perform: criteria such as creativity and expression. Current academic interest focuses on classical music and jazz, which represent only a small splinter of public involvement with music. Even jazz was ignored until someone decided it was difficult enough to be seriously studied. This is a disservice to aspiring professional music students who want choices in what they perform as paid professionals. It is also a disservice to those with a general interest in music history and sociology, who may feel classes offered are out of touch with real forces in contemporary art. If ongoing developments and progress in medicine, science, literature, sports, education, graphic arts or political science were ignored, the results would be disastrous. Yet the creaking old tradition in music education lurches on looking suspiciously like some kind of ancestor worship. A discipline's technical difficulty should not be the sole determinant of whether it qualifies to be taught. Are only the most technically difficult styles of painting the ones taken seriously? Are only the most convoluted types of mathematics the ones judged suitable for study? There is more to learning than just being tough enough. Whether rock is offered as a sociological study of general interest, or taught to musicians as a performing art, it has too long been ignored by academicians more intent on preserving a scholarly cult of ever-diminishing dimensions of size, enthusiasm and relevance to the qualities of the modem world. The preservation of old music as the only point of musical study is a sort of intellectual Pyrrhic victory; the fort has been held at the cost of everyone leaving. —

Higher ed change coming? By Mark Schlachtenhaufen

Staff Writer

O

klahoma higher education appears to be reaching a critical crossroad. Not only will there be a new governor and new faces in the state Legislature this November, but a report by a national education expert outside Oklahoma seeks to reorganize lower division institutions in metropolitan Oklahoma City. Talk of mergers and a lack of funding are nothing new, but an objective report of Oklahoma higher education may lead to new legislation.

For several years, Oklahomans have preached the need for improved education. The passage of House Bill 1017, the education reform law, addressed common education woes. No similar legislation was developed for higher education. Chancellor Hans Brisch said the state needs a large influx of additional monies to build the educational system Oklahoma needs. The almighty dollar holds the future of Oklahoma students within its fringes. Central State University suffers from a lack of classroom space and convenient parking space. Buildings need renovation and faculty need higher salaries. The

same could be said for any one of Oklahoma's 25 colleges and universities. When university funding is stretched to the limit, two courses may be taken. One is to receive additional funding and support from taxpayers, or maintain the status quo. By following the latter, educational stagnation may limit the ability of educators to produce the best student possible. Regents must decide if Oklahoma's colleges and universities will maintain current missions or define new roles, offering Oklahoma's students what they deserve: an improved system of higher education.

Contaminated water won't work By Tom Huber

Guest Writer

I

t boldly spans seven-eighths of the Earth's surface and is the predominate chemical substance that makes up the human body in its manifestation of nature: water. Are you comfortable with the quality of our precious life-sustaining friend? Are we using and abusing it to a point beyond the toxic tolerance of safety? Information released to the public about the conditions and useability of water appears to be confusing and questionable at times. Two incidents have come to my attention which make me want to know more about potentially hazardous conditions. First, the recent disclosure of a uranium leak at the Sequoyah Fuel Corp. plant near Gore. A Nuclear Regulatory Commission's investigation concluded there was no danger or contamination found in the surrounding ground water.

Well, excuse me, but how can they say there is no existing problems when it was stated that the sample taken contained 35,000 times the amount of uranium allowed by federal standards? The commission will be spending another week trying to discover where and how much uranium has been leaking. If the NRC is serious about monitoring standards they set, why are they not enforcing them and punishing violators? Second, is an article of personal interest found in the Sept. 3 issue of Newsweek, concerning Parkinson's disease and investigations of its causes. New studies have brought information to light that the disease has been linked to industrialized areas—and more specifically to farming areas— that use modern agricultural chemicals. In a study published by the journal Neurology, 300 people from Kansas were interviewed, half of whom suffer from Parkinson's disease. The folks with the disease

were twice as likely to have grown up in fanning areas where pesticides and fertilizers were used regularly, permeating the ground water. How many people draw their water from a well that is in a commerical farming area, specifically the Garber-Wellington aquifer? My mother suffers from the tremors of Parkinson's, and I am conscious of possible hereditary conditions that may affect my health. I also live in a farming community and drink water from a well! This article has mentioned problems and asked questions that have been left void of solutions and answers, and leaves me with a strange feeling of helplessness. It is our personal duty—and in our best interests—to maintain good health in our lives. The water we drink plays a major role in the assurance of that success. Tom Huber is a photographic arts major who has a personal interest in the ecological balance of nature.

Recycling takes root in state • Oklahomans prompt local officials to preserve environment By Rochelle Hines Associated Press Writer OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) Some say it's increased interest because of the 20th anniversary of Earth Day. Others say it is the image of Alaskan coastlines and wildlife coated with deadly oil. Whatever the reason, many Oklahomans are asking officials to start recycling programs in their communities. At least a half dozen communities have started voluntary recycling programs. They include Collinsville, Edmond, Fairview, Norman, Owasso and Stillwater. "Whenever we recycle in our homes ... it extends out and touches all aspects of the environment like clean air and clean water," said Gaylynn Phelps, president of "Keep Edmond Beautiful." The local group has been instrumental in helping the rapidly growing Oklahoma City suburb conduct its curbside recycling program. "I think communities that are getting started right now should be commended," Ms. Phelps said. "It's important that people think of the concept of 'if you're not recycling your resources and you're burying them in landfills, they won't be used. — Diane Vanlandingham, media committee chairwoman of the Norman Recycling Association, said the 20th anniversary of Earth

Day had such a buildup that people couldn't avoid hearing about how little had been done. "People are dissatisfied and saying something and changes are being made," she said. Norman's city government has adopted a yard waste program in which the refuse is picked up once a week and taken to a landfill and composted. Vanlandingham said Norman residents generate about 4.7 pounds of garbage a person a day. The national average is about 3.5 pounds.

"Most people already cut their grass and bag it up," she said. "We figured, through doing research of composting projects in the U.S., that this would be the easiest to do because people already are doing it." The difficulty will be in the changing of collection schedules from twice-a-week pick for household garbage to once a week, Vanlandingham said. Smaller communities, like Fair view and Collinsville, also are getting into the act.

The Environmental Protection Agency recently gave Fairview's Comelsen Elementary a regional award for its aluminum can collection program. Collinsville will switch its 6-week-old voluntary program to a mandatory system Oct. I. "We know our landfill has a limited lifetime to it," Fern Young, city clerk, said. "Our current city leaders feel like this is something that will happen anyway and they wanted to start it right now."

Beginning in October, the city will pick up garbage one day a week and collect recyclable refuse another day, Young said. Presently, aluminum cans, newspaper, aluminum foil, glass and corrugated cardboard are collected from curb sides, Young said. "Then starting with the first day of November, scrap paper, computer paper, automobile batteries, plastics, polystyrene and paper cups and tin cans" will be picked up, she said.

Friends laud Souter; foes fight nomination

Syphilis rates soar since 1981 reports By Sam Powell Staff Writer Incidence of sexually transmitted diseases at Central State University may not be following a national trend, according to information obtained from the student health center. There hasn't been a case of syphilis reported on campus this year, said Susan Kanaly, student health center director. According to a federal study, the syphilis rate nationally is the highest in 40 years, with the greatest increase among blacks. Researchers at the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta said 18.4 of every 100,000 Americans were treated for syphilis last year,

up from 13.7 cases per 100,000 in 1981. Dr. Allyn Nakashima, one author of the study, said the overall rate has risen most drastically over the last four years, which may indicate that precautions spurred in the early 1980s by the AIDS outbreak are no longer being taken. Particularly troubling to reseachers is the increasing syphilis rate among blacks. The study shows the syphilis rate for blacks more than doubled between 1985 and 1989. In contrast, the syphilis rate for white males dropped 69 pecent since 1982. Researchers were unable to cite reasons for the difference. The most often diagnosed sexually transmitted disease at CSU is

chlamydia, followed by gonorrhea, Kanaly said. However, when someone has symptoms of chlamydia a test is not always performed. "We do a great deal of testing here, but it's really not a lot cornpared to the size of the student population," Kanaly said. Testing for sexually transmitted

Group releases tire tests WASHINGTON (AP)—The government isn't doing a good enough job informing the public about its automobile tire testing program, an auto safety group says. So in a report released Sunday, it drew up its own list of the longest-lasting tires. Based on the government results, the Center for Auto Safety ranked the most popular tires manufactured by 26 radial tire compa-

vies "to help consumers buy the safest amd most long-lasting tire for their money." "Without readily available ratings, consumers remain at the mercy of tire companies," the center's Clarence Ditlow said. Ditlow said the government should be disseminating the results of its extensive tire-testing program. Right now, the government will give anyone who asks its

test data on nearly 1,800 passenger car tires free of charge. But Ditlow, in a letter to Jerry R. Curry, administrator of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, said a list of the best and worst tires would be more useful. Government officials said, however, they don't want to pick winners and losers.

WASHINGTON (AP)—Supreme Court nominee David H. Souter was praised by friends Tuesday as a strong supporter of civil liberties, but a feminist leader called him "a total disaster for civil rights and women's rights. The Senate Judiciary Committee, which completed three days of questioning Souter Monday, turned its attention to about 40 witnesses testifying for and against him. His confirmation as the high court's 105th justice—and a key vote on such divisive issues as abortion, civil rights and churchstate relations—seemed certain. Before Tuesday's hearing began, Molly Yard, president of the National Orgainization for Women, told reporters her group had begun a major drive to block Souter's confirmation. "We know that man will be a fifth vote to overturn Roe vs. Wade," Yard said, referring to the 1977 Supreme Court decision legalizing abortion. "Our lives are on the line. Women in this country are going to die. We're talking about your daughters, your granddaughters. He is a disastrous choice, a total disaster for civil rights and women's rights." During the hearings, Yard appeared on the verge of tears as she told the senators, all of them men,

"None of you will ever face that problem (of an unwanted pregnancy). Not one of you." Eleanor Smeal of the Fund for the Feminist Majority held up a bracelet bearing the name of a 17-year-old, Becky Bell, she identified as "a victim of the parental consent law of Indiana." She said the girl died after obtaining an illegal abortion. Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, said he was impressed by the testimony of Yard and Smeal, but added, "There is another point of view that is equally as moving." Jerry Diamond, a former Vermont attorney general, praised his friend's honesty and integrity. Diamond added: "His central tenet is the dignity and freedom of the individual. He is a strong supporter of civil liberties." Steven McAuliffe of the New Hampshire Bar Association, whose schoolteacher wife, Christa, died in the 1986 explosion of the Challenger space shuttle, spoke of Souter's compassion. "I have some experience with personal pain," McAuliffe said. "I know many of you share my pain as I share yours. I want you to know that David Souter feels and shares and understands the pain of others with great compassion and great dignity."

Commuter news tip

Graph illustrates tire info WASHINGTON (AP)—Here are the 10 longest-lasting ordinary tires and the 10 longest-lasting high-performance tires, according to government test results compiled by the private Center for Auto Safety. The rankings are based on tread wear. The "rim" column refers to wheel diameter, or all tires of that

model, regardless of diameter. The "trac" column refers to the government traction ratings, with C being the minimum and A being the best. The "temp" column ranks from A to C according to the temperature at which the tires ran in the tests. Other things being equal, a cooler tire is better than a hotter tire, with "C" representing the

maximum temperature allowed under government standards and "A" the coolest in the test. The government says C-rated tires are "not unsafe." The "miles" column comes from the tread wear rating of the tire multiplied by 200 to show how many miles the tire could be expected to operate under test conditions.

Group seeks higher ed funding By Mark Schlachtenhaufen Staff Writer An executive committee, cochaired by Central State University President Bill Lillard, has been empowerd by the higher education chancellor to find an answer to state higher education funding woes. "A bond issue is the only solution I see to the problem," Lillard said. "If we can't sell that to the state of Oklahoma and get it passed, then we don't deserve it." The Oklahoma Regents for Higher Education considered adopting a $200 million bond issue last year. The first phase of the study will be turned over to Chancellor Hans Brisch by the fiscal year 1992, which begins July 1, 1991, Lillard said. The Council of Presidents, consisting of state higher education presidents, has been divdided into four sub-groups: a budget committee, a capital committee chaired by Lillard, an educational outreach committee, and a legislative affairs committee. The council will report their preliminary findings to the chancellor in three phases.

Phase one will include reports on immediate capital improvement needs, like renovations and repairs, where funding would be appropriated by the Legislature, Lillard said. Phase two will examine streamlined needs like a revenue bond issue, which would involve a state election and how to pay for them, he said. "With the income, we could get started on our projects, other than those emergency ones," Lillard said. Phase three of the council's duties will explore permanently dedicated revenue sources for higher education capital improvements. "If you have that dedicated revenue, then the legislators wouldn't be faced every 30 years with this emergency crisis," he said. Repayment of a revenue bond would mean finding tax sources, but any general sales tax increases are a "sure way to defeat a bond issue," Lillard said. Tax revenue to repay a multimillion-dollar bond issue could come from "sin taxes," Lillard said. Sin taxes are levied on liquor and tobacco products. Oil and gas are also possible tax revenue sources.

A Post-Baccalaureate Program in Liberal Arts

Sin taxes give people a choice to buy or not buy a product like cigarettes. A sales tax affects all Oklahomans, especially low-income families, Lillard said. A percentage of bond tax re-

venue would be unavailable for general education funding. The passage of House Bill 1017, the education reform law, could be a positive signal for similar higher education legislation,

Lillard said. The last state question concerning higher educational funding in the 1960s passed. Without any additional state funding, CSU cannot become the institution it needs to be, he said.

CSU seeks to offer Ph.D. Officials predict degrees may be offered by 1995 By Mark Schlachtenhaufen Staff Writer By the year 2000, Central State University could have a doctoral program better than Oklahoma University or Oklahoma State Unversity, said President Bill Lillard. CSU's graduate college may have a doctotoral degree program by the mid-1990s in special education, followed by teacher education and business administration, said Dr. George Avellano, graduate dean. "If we could offer those, I'd say within five years the doctotoral program would be comparable to

their (OU and OSU) Ph.D. programs," Lillard said. "If they give us a special education (doctorate of education), we will exceed what the comprehensive universities are doing at the present time," he added. Lillard cited flexible graduate program scheduling and close proximity of CSU to Oklahoma City as primary advantages over OU and OSU. Students from not only Oklahoma, but throughout the southwest would add to graduate enrollment. "There's a shortage of business administration doctorates, but there's even a greater shortage in special ed," Lillard said.

Next year's name change to the University of Central Oklahoma, will further define the university's educational mandate and help draw students from Oklahoma City, Avellano said. "We're going to continue to grow as this geographic area grows, as the university grows in its commitment to excellence in education," Avellano said. "I think special education and educational administration would be very strong," Avellano said. "I think we're on the threshold of offering a business doctorate." A doctoral of philosophy program could be added to graduate studies, he said.

Drug war slips in yearly rating By Walter Mears

AP Special Correspondent WASHINGTON (AP)—No. 1 is a high-risk ranking, hard to hol(' and sure to draw attention when there's a slip in the standings. That has happened in the administration's war on drugs, despite President Bush's insistence that it remains at the top of his priority list. According to public opinion surveys, far fewer Americans now consider illegal drugs to be the most important problem confronting the nation. But perceptions of the problem have changed more than the problem itself. After a dramatic, highprofile send-off, the drug war seems to have settled into the trenches for the long haul. One year into the administration's war on drugs, the man in charge reports headway, but with a long struggle ahead.

Cal State spoils Wantland opener Matadors rally for 17-6 victory By Bill Kramer

Sports Editor

An early second-half burst which put Central State University ahead 6-0 was not enough to hold off California State-Nothridge University Saturday at Wantland Stadium as the Matadors rallied for a 17-6 victory before 3,800 fans. Cal State rolled up 264 yards of total offense, compared with 213 for CSU. CSU tailbacks Pinkey Hurley and Terrance Jones, who lead the Lone Star Conference in rushing, were held to 46 and 42 yards, respectively. The Matadors were led by two-time All-America tailback Albert Fann's 101 yards rushing and two touchdowns. Farm is also a 1990 preseason All-America candidate as well as a top contender for the Harlon

Hill Trophy, the Heisman of Division II football. The first half of action included 11 punts and only four offensive first downs for each team. Cal State threatened first with a drive to the CSU 26 following a fumble recovery at the Broncho 38. A 44-yard field goal attempt by Cal State failed as the first quarter came to an end and the ball was turned over to the Bronchos. CSU's only serious threat in the first half included a 47-yard drive to the Cal State 14. A sack pushed CSU back to the 20 where Stamper missed a 37-yard field goal. On their first drive of the second half, the Bronchos unveiled a passing Broncho tailback Pinkey Hurley drives for yardage during the California State-Northridge Uni- attack which caught the Matadors off guard and allowed the Bronchos to push to the Cal State 10. versity football game Saturday. (Photo by Daniel Smith) After two losses from scrimmage, putting CSU back at the 20, Hurley put on a show to the end zone, breaking two tackles to put CSU up 6-0. The point after was blocked Cal State's Alo Sila. The Matadors struck back on the ensuing possession, moving 66 yards on nine plays, capped by a one-yard score by Fann. Abo Velasco's point after put the Matadors ahead to stay. Following the kickoff, Zane Burgess had a pass intercepted at the CSU 45 with 5:52 remaining in the third quarter.

Spikers' record tops LSC; still no ranking

A new, winning attitude is partly responsible for the Central State University volleyball team's success so far this year, said Sports Information Director Mike Kirk. Through the first 16 matches of the year, the Lady Bronchos are off to their best-ever start with a 14-2 record. "Coach (Mark) Herrin and the girls have worked really hard to get people out," Kirk said. Their efforts are paying off, according to attendence estimations. The Lady Bronchos drew nearly 300 fans to its matches Tuesday against Bethel College, Kan., and Southern Nazarene University. "We're doing a good job," Herrin said. "We're starting to really come into our own and starting to play as a team. We don't have any superstars. Everybody pulls together and does their job. CSU has taken over the lead in wins in among Lone Star Conference teams, however, West Texas State University, ranked No. 6 in the country, is close behind with 11 wins and a loss. Another LSC foe, Angelo State University, is ranked No. 17 in the latest poll. CSU has not garnered the attention by the national pollsters to this point. The Lady Bronchos are second in the conference in team attack percentage with .287 behind West Texas' average of .324. Individually, CSU's Shawna Clark is third in the LSC in assists, averaging 10 per game. Teammate Amy Parten is fourth in the conference in attack percentage to go along with 134 kills.

Mark Herrin

as their Freshman Queen candidate, and Dr. Lon Dehnert, director of Concert Chorale, has arranged for students to sing the national anthem before each home match. Herrin said he thinks the assistant coaches are a very important part of the success of the volleyball program. "I've always heard that a smart head coach finds the best assistant coaches he can find and lets them do their job. Mike Minnis and Criag Ruiz are doing an outstanding job," Herrin said. Herrin attributes much of what he has learned to coaches Nick Ditola of Jenks and University of Oklahoma coach Miles Papps. "They both took time to work with me," he said. "I can call Miles anytime, he's real accessible. I always wanted to teach at the college level, but I never planned on coaching here. "I've got a long way to go and a lot to learn. There's a lot of pressure, but just on myself."

power relationships have changed, Jones said. Since the world opinion is against Iraq, nations taking part in a United Nations embargo should deter further agressions without war, he said. Jones also described reasons for U.S. economic problems, saying that international credit has turned the United States into a debtor nation, and countries that once depended on America for loans are shopping around for credit.

"We've lived for a decade on a credit card, paid for by foreign interest," Jones said. "Now we're seeing a surge of foreign money going elsewhere." A straight-forward income tax raise would be beneficial toward decreasing the national debt: one that affects everybody, not just middle America, Jones said. "The American people need to keep putting the pressure on Congress and the White House to decrease the deficit," Jones said.

Campus newsletter targets needs of minority students By Barbara Howry Student Writer

Minority students can receive help adjusting to Central State University and life as a college student through a newsletter being published by of multicultural - student services, said James Noley, coordinator of the office. A quarterly newsletter, The Multicultural Exchange, will help improve communication among all minority students, keep them informed on campus activities, and give recognition to those who win awards and honors, Noley said. This summer, the first newsletter was printed, and the response was great. Noley said that al-

though he had a lot to do with the first one, students on staff with the office will become more involved this semester. "I will have one student who will be assigned to the newsletter project," Noley said. "That individual will write the bulk of the articles, but other students will be assigned articles too." Multiculural services is a support source to several minority student organizations, which helps his office gather the information for the newsletter, Noley said. "We're in touch with a lot of things that happen on campus," Noley said. "We know about Miss Indian Oklahoma and Miss Black CSU because we're associated with both student groups that the girls come from. Students help keep us up to date." Multicultural services was , es-

A University Center Bookstore employee resigned his post as assistant manager amid allegations of harrassment toward female employees, officials said. When complaints to administration about John Coates' behavior seemed to have little impact, some bookstore employees

informed The Vista of the allegations last week. Coates' last day of work was Thursday, and he was unavailable for comment. Employees alleged Coates had fits of rage over minor occurences, even in front of customers. "It's not that we wanted to slam John (Coates) or anyone else at the bookstore," said one employee, who chose to remain anonymous.
