Tuberculosis testing at the CSU Student Health Center has been extended to dispell students' apprehension about possibly having the disease, according to Dudley Ryan, dean of students. The CSU campus was asked by the state health department to paticipate in tuberculosis testing for all foreign students, according to Ryan. "Our campus was contacted somewhere around the first of August this past year and asked if we would participate in a project of this nature for anyone not born within the continental U.S.," said Ryan. "It is for everybody's benefit. Fortunately or unfortunately they have located one person that it is going to help at least." A Nigerian student was found to have the disease two weeks ago, according to Saralyn Winn, chief of public nursing for the Oklahoma City and County Health department. The student's name has not been released, and he is currently confined to his apartment. Ryan said it was his understanding that the Nigerian student went over for a routine check along with a number of other people. "At a certain point his diagnosis showed positive and they did further testing... A doctor apparently told him that he did have an active case and toward that he would need to do something with medication." The screening now going on is not only for non-Americans. "Initially we had hoped to test anyone not born within the continental United States; that was Aug. 15 and 16 and up to the present time," said Ryan. The health center has currently expanded their testing to include anyone who is uncomfortable about having been in contact with the disease. "For anyone that has been in class with someone that they suspected or felt uncomfortable with, the health center has expanded their testing. "So if anyone on campus is just really uncomfortable with it, they can go over and take the test," said Ryan. He said this extending of testing is partially because of the Nigerian student who contacted the disease two weeks ago. Alvin H. Alcorn, executive vice president of administration, confirmed the fact that the testing was extended because of the Nigerian student but refused to comment any further. Ryan said, that tuberculosis isn't something that is of extreme concern if it is caught early because "it can be arrested pretty easily." But Ryan said some people who read the article about the Nigerian student in the Sept. 22 issue of the Vista were uncomfortable. "To dispell any apprehension about it, it is just a matter of taking that shot and having it read 48 hours later," said Ryan. Ryan said the testing this week will be Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday because after taking the shot the student must return to health center 48 hours later. They didn't want this time to extend over the weekend when the students may not get back to the center.
English department study finds...
Graduates' writing skills found inadequate By Terri Carpenter Staff Writer Recent graduates in the English department feel their graduate curriculum didn't provide them with enough training in writing skills, according to Dr. Charles W. Hembree, chairman of the English department. A study was completed by the English department graduate committee which found that
writing skills of many college graduates are inadequate. "Our study was a survey of our own recent graduates to determine whether they thought their graduate curriculum had provided them adequately for competing in the job market. The majority of them indicated that more training in writing skills at the graduate level would be more beneficial to them," said Hembree.

Hembree said the survey determined the graduates felt they needed more training in rhetoric theory (the use of the English language) and composition theory. As a result of all the reseach from the study, the English department has expanded its master of arts degree program to include more emphasis on advanced grammar, technical writing and different approaches to composition, according to Dr. Loree M. Rice, professor of English. This new masters degree program is intended to give students needed training in writing and aid the students in finding employment after graduation. Steps are being taken to improve students' English skills at the graduate level, according to Hembree. "We (the English department) are going to be looking at a number of proposals this year and come up with a package for the university...We may be proposing
restructuring of general education requirements for English," said Hembee. He said the English Proficiency Exam will certainly be included in the package. The EPE is an exam aimed at juniors or seniors that would determine whether their English skills are good enough for them to graduate. CSU had a required English exam four years ago, but the was dropped in favor of the introduction of remedial English classes for students lacking in English skills. Hembree said that the English department is for reinstating the EPE if adequate funding and faculty is provided to handle the testing. "The EPE serves a purpose in that it identifies persons who need additional help before they graduate. The real good comes in, only if they get that help. "Just taking the test by itself doesn't really help them (students) very much, that's just a couple
hours of sitting and writing. It needs to be viewed as a means of identifying people who need additional help. "The real effort needs to go into providing that additional help to make sure they (students who need help) are identified in time for them to get it (help) before they graduate," said Hembree.
Homecoming starts tonight with Bar-B-0 The student senate will sponsor a Western Bar-B-Q at 6 p.m. tonight at Thatcher Lake to begin a week of Homecoming activities. There will be free food and all students are invited. There will be a Pep Rally at 7 p.m. Wednesday at Thatcher Lake.

Opinion Page Bronchos must maintain status
Reader defends football program Letter to the Editor: Dissatisfied CSU Alum: After reading your letter in the Sept. 22 issue of The Vista, I can imagine Sports Editor Mark Spears' reaction — not to mention the football fans. In full support of NV Spears. I would like to add more to his proof that the Bronchos are playing more than adequate teams. First of all, East Central, a foe to be dealt with in a couple of weeks. is now in the No. 9 spot in the NAIA football poll. Northeastern, whom we play Saturday at Homecoming, is No. 4. And last, but not least, Niesa, Colo., whom the Bronchos beat for the na-
tional championship, is still No. 2 because sportswriters and coaches don't think the Mavericks are strong enough to man the top spot. As Mr. Spears asked, did you know that Southwestern was No. 16 before losing to us? Did you- know that Henderson State, Ark., was picked to win its conference? And why does the football team have open dates year in and year out? I know for a fact it isn't that we don't want to add teams because we might lose. But it's because everybody else is afraid to play us. CSU had an Arkansas team ready to play us in 1983. Time, day, the whole works were set. Then, suddenly, this
school decided they couldn't play us after we breezed through the playoffs and won the national title. Their excuse? They already had a game scheduled for that particular date. Sorry, but there are few, if any, athletic programs that can screw up and not realize they already have a game date set. Somebody turned chicken. And about blowing people away, yes, CSU has embarrassed a few teams. But fighting for and defending a title, the Bronchos must prove their status — champions. We also need to think about NFL and USFL scouts. If we don't have
blowouts, who will come and look at our fine players? Finally, we do have empty seats because we are in competition with the University of Oklahoma and Oklahoma State. In my opinion, we've drawn more this year after two home games than last. We even had a large turnout the same day OU played Ohio State in Norman. Please think about all the facts before speaking out. And about homecoming — you may not want to come. You will probably be disappointed with another Broncho win. Name witheld b) request
Jails full of hate, bitterness
Prisoner learns to love, not hate Letter to the Editor: I wrote this letter mainly to show to you that are free and starting back to college this fall that if someone in here can still retain his love for mankind, then anyone can. I am a college graduate myself and found out that I still had much to learn. I am currently serving a one-year sentence in the famous Attica (N.Y.) prison because I drank and drove a car one too many time,. I %‘ ill be released in April. Since I have been here, I have witnessed abuse and cruelty beyond description, have listened while grow n men have cried themselves to sleep due to sheer loneliness and even saw a young man attempt suicide because his girlfriend left him for someone else.

I have also suffered terrible loneliness and depression, but have learned something in here that no college classroom or textbook could have possibly taught me. I've learned that love is much stronger than hate. With love, one has purpose and meaning in life. With hate, one merely exists around the borders of life. Each day, I look into hundreds of faces that are filled with hate and bitterness. They have no outlook for the future and this truly saddens me. Life lost its meaning for me when I returned home from the war in Viet Nam. I served two years there with the 101st Airborn I ended up wasting over 12 years of my life through drinking and feeling sorry for myself. I had a family and friends then too. Now, I am all alone but I have an inner peace and maturity that I haven't
Cafeteria system just encourages junk-food junkies Letter to the Editor: Junk food junkies are alive and well on the CSU campus. Not only that, but it seems as though they are being encouraged by the CSU cafeteria system. I noticed as I walked through the breakfast line, that a small glass of orange juice is over twice as many units as soft drinks. There are already many soft drink machines around campus and in every dormitory. The CSU officials should encourage well balanced and a nutritional meal. You can get a good meal, but you have to choose the lesser of two evils. Either eat not enough of a good meal, or eat a lot of junk food. The choice is ours, CSU students. Name witheld by request
experienced before. When I do return home to Oklahoma in April, I will come back much wiser. More important than that though, I will return home with the attitude that I owe life a living and not vice-versa! I have no way of knowing if your
school editor will deem this letter worthy of printing but I sincerely feel that if only one other person gets to read its message, then it was well worth the effort in writing. Alfred John Gremillion 81 C 585
King deserves holiday Letter to the Editor: A man has lived and a man has died for me and you. It was this man that we barely knew. We have only known him through the past—of what he has done for a great nation and yet he suffered in his own land. Oh, Martin you have reached the souls of the young and old. Some remember you as a great leader. Some remember you, Martin, as a "that militant." However, for whatever reason it was you are remembered because you sought to make all people equal. Equality is what you preached through this great nation; eventually to the world you preached. As an individual, your love compelled many to search within themselves to find their identity. Endlessly we searched our hearts, minds and souls. Some wept. Some became happy; some sad. Yet there were those who became angry. Martin you had a dream, and that dream still lives within many people. We have traveled over many mountains and through many valleys, ever faithfully looking toward the promise land. To you Martin, we say thank you. The constitution was rocked by the civil rights decision. It was a decision that the nation could not comprimise with. It was an act that was effected us all. That act still stands and has been used in the many battlefields of law.
Many times as a nation we have been led from a civilized state to a nation that lived in chaos. Yet the act Martin inspired stood strong. If you don't know who I am and what I am, then I shall explain who 1 am writing about. He was a scholar, Noble Prize recipient, civil rights activist and leader. He was killed on a hotel balcony. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was a man who died for a nation—a nation for which he had a dream. This man deserves a holiday. The fraterity of Alpha Phi Alpha

Student loan default more than average
State,local, world news Officials to collect debris 4
Seven international officials from America, Japan and Swedan set off for Sakhalin, a Soviet island, where Soviet authorities agreed to turn over "items and documents" retrieved from the downed Korean airliner flight 007 Sunday. The Japanese say they believe the Soviets have not recovered major parts form the plane including the flight data and cockpit recorder system known as the "black box."
Truce called in Lebanon A cease-fire was called for in Lebanon and took effect at 11 p.m. Sunday.The halt to the fighting came after an attack on U.S. Marines stationed near Beriut airport. President Reagan said the truce was the critical first step torward peace in the area plagued by civil war.
IRA gunmen break out Thirty-eight IRA fighters fought their way out of a top sercurity prison Sunday, killing one guard and wounding six others in the biggest escape in British history. According to one official, the prisoners stopped cars and any other vehicles they could to make their getaway. Police are using Army helicopters and tracking dogs to locate the escapees. Eleven prisoners were captured within hours of the break, but the remaining 27 have yet to be found. Police believe the convicts are headed for West Belfast.
ths, and if a determination is made that it is unlikely the student will continue the obligation, he is sent three letters, followed by a phone call or telegram. If there is no response after ten days, the loan is then assigned to a collection group, Collegiate Recovery, Inc. or another collection agency.
By Thomas Kemper CSU students have a higher than average default rate on student loans according to Sherri Hancock in the financial office. According to Hancock approximately 50 percent of students here receive some form of financial aid and of that 50 percent, 25 percent of these are loans. The default rate is slightly higher than the national average which is 7 to 8 percent. CSU's default rate was slightly over 10 percent. When a student's payments are not received for two to three mon•

over to another firm that has not
been named yet. If the collection firm chosen cannot collect the loan, it is called back to CSU for more collection efforts. If there is still no successful collection, according to Hancock, "We are urged by the federal government to assign the loan back to them. They have access to other means of collection, such as income tax refunds. "We have found, however, that over the years, very few students fail to repay loans," Hancock commented. "We are, with the help of the university computer staff, painstakingly researching the 321 defaulted loans assigned to CRI as of March. Then we are contacting these students to have them tell us of their status. We are trying to compare what they have paid CRI, and can document, with what we have been paid by CRI in the past," Hancock explained. The financial aid office processes all forms of aid, plus foreign student deposits. As of Sept. 13 the office had processed $1.2 million dollars, and the total for the school year should run between $4-5 million dollars. Andy Fugitt, of the Attorney General's staff, indicated that the state anticipates filing a lawsuit on behalf of the board of regents and affected institutions against CRI.
Transsexual suing airline A former Vietnam combat pilot who had a sex change operation is suing Eastern Airlines for firing her after she had the surgery. Karen Ulane, formerly Kenneth Ulane, is seeking to get back the job she held with Eastern before the company fired her because they felt she would create problems in the cockpit because of the sex change. Eastern contends that Ulane is suffering mental disorders from the operation and Ulane contends the airline is sexually discriminating against her.

Troops told to crush riots Ferdinand Marcos, president of the Philipines, ordered his riot troops to use force if necessary to quell any demonstration in his country. The Philipines have been racked with riots and protests since the death of Benito Aquino, Marcos' main oppisition for power. Eleven people have been killed in recent protests, including four policemen. The demonstators are angry at what they believe is Marcos' refusal to determine who was behind the assasination of Aquino and many have called for Marcos to resign. Marcos has also accused the nation's teachers of telling lies about him to their pupils.

Practicum gives job training
By Brad Kimbler There are many students on this campus at CSU who go to work two or three days a weeks at various jobs with no hopes of a paycheck. These students only hope of reward is the on the job training they will receive by doing practicurn work. Practiums are a requirement of several degrees although many degrees offer practium options. Coordinator of Academic Advisement, Donna Guinn stated, Most students react favorably and seem to think it's beneficial to get out of the classroom and into the real world." The various degrees that require practiums are Photographic Arts, Graphic Advertising Design, Criminal Justice, journalistic Advertising and Basic Journalism. Dr. Hall Duncan, professor of art, feels that it is a must for anyone that is going to be employable to participate in the practium and that most students who perform with a professional attitude and give thier best efforts have a better chance to be employed more quickly. The
classroom can't touch on everything that the students need to know, but the experience of being on a job that suits one's career goals can be the best teacher. Dr. Duncan can give a few examples such as one student last semester who was flown to Canada to work for Stone Adler Direct Marketing of Toronto, after his practium was finished and he was back home he was flown to Chicago, where he applied and was hired by the Chicago branch of the same company. Dr. Duncan also knows of some students who go in and work an extra day, but don't receive any credit for it and do it because they are so excited about what they are doing. In his 14 years of handling practiums, Dr. Duncan says that 95 per cent of all students and business' were satisfied with the end results. Certain business' stated that when screening applicants for an opening that a student with practium experience is most likely to be considered for the position than an equally qualified applicant without on the job experience.

This evening, Edgar Michael Cruz will appear in concert in the choir room of the music building. Edgar Cruz is a 21 year-old Oklahoma City junior majoring in instrumental music education and specializing in classical guitar. Cruz was formerly a computer major but decided something was wrong. "I am happier playing the guitar. I feel I have enough talent to succeed in the music business. One day I eventually want to cut alblums," said Cruz. Cruz is putting himself through school by playing professionally in local resturants. Last summer he could be seen playing at "Nino's 2"," Nino's 3"," Crystal's North", "Pepe's" and the" Park Suite Hotel."

Andropov to receive local letter of protest
Coming Up
A letter to Soviet Premier Yuri Andropov will be available for signatures in the office of the president, second floor of the Administration building until 5 p.m. Thursday. The letter was written by Edward Livermore, Jr., publisher of the Edmond Evening Sun, in response to the recent downing of Korean Airline's Flight 007. Below is the text of the letter. "Mr. Andropov: You have been hearing a lot from world leaders, the media and common people about their views on the deaths of 269 innocent human beings aboard the Korean airliner. This letter is to give you a grassroots opinion from Central Oklahoma. We who have signed it are farmers, homemakers, business people, students, professionals and laborers. It is heartbreaking to realize that 269 people, including 12 children and two tiny infants, were murdered by the government of one of the world's two most powerful nations. We are dismayed by your fascist act. Many of us who signed this letter believed for many years your government was capable of such acts. However, many others of us who signed this letter were astonished. Now, all of us know. We earnestly hope that world reaction to this act has a sobering and civilizing effect on you and your government. Until there is a real and long-term evidence of this, we certainly want our government to be vigilant and ready. You and your government have demonstrated to us and to the world that you are capable of any atrocity. From the people of Edmond, Oklahoma United States of America"

ir][SolrAML. SPORTS Cross country new intramural sport By Mark Spears Sports Editor
Vista photo by Pat Berglund
Second Baseman Joe Bernardi makes a tag on this attempted steal while shortstop Guy Hardaker looks on. The Bronchos have been scrimmaging most of the semester in preparation for the spring season.
Now that it is the fifth week of this semester intramurals are in full swing. With football, soccer and tennis leading the way into another year of excitement for weekend athletes. According to Intramural Director Tom Hollis, football entries are down from this year but up compared to two years ago. Tennis entries are up and soccer, a second year sport, is up also. Last year, in its first year, soccer had three entries and this year there are only four. "I expected soccer to grow slowly," said Hollis. Hollis said that the international students requested that soccer be added to the intramural
program and the main reason there is not a good turnout is because there are no points given to go toward the All-Intramural championship. Another problem with soccer is the lack of space for games because of football. A new sport on the agenda this fall is cross country. "I thought it would be interesting to have it as a homecoming activity," said Hollis. Hollis said that it is being billed as a homecoming activity. The
meet is scheduled to begin at 6:30
p.m., Thursday Sept. 29, but Hollis said that all interested runners need to meet at the field behind the Baptist Student Union at 6 p.m. Entries will open Oct. 3 and will stay open until the 19th with play scheduled to begin Oct. 25. This year volleyball will be sponsored by Ford Bronco Two as a promotion for the new Ford Bronco. Ford will furnish t-shirts and other prizes at the end of the competition.
Why a nine game schedule? By Mark Spears Sports Editor
Why do the Bronchos only play nine games a season? This might be the first question to run through peoples minds each year when the football schedule comes out. One of the main reasons for the lack of games is the fact that CSU is an independent, or is not affiliated with any conference. CSU Athletic Director Charles Murdock said that at one time the Bronchos were members of the Oklahoma Intercollegiate Conference (OIC) but left the conference because they (the conference) were going to drop the amount of scholarships that could be given in all men's sports. As it stands right now CSU has been trying to get back into a conference but is not likely to go back into the OIC because they only allow 45 scholarships to be granted.
Of those 45 scholarships, 33 go to football and 12 to basketball. That would leave no scholarships for other sports such as wrestling, a sport in which the Bronchos have won three national championships. "We have been trying to build up our other sports and want to give those people (other athletes) scholarship aid also," said Murdock. Doug Folks, sports information director, said that during this last off-season the Bronchos contacted over 100 schools in a 400 mile radius to play this season but all declined. "Henderson State is the only team in Arkansas who will play us and Eastern New Mexico is the only team in New Mexico who will play us. Nobody in Kansas, Missouri or Colorado will play us, Southeastern (Okla.) and Panhandle (Okla.) refuse to play us also," said Folks.
"Panhandle and Southeastern could play us but they won't," agreed Murdock. Murdock also said that it's not that other teams won't play CSU, it's that they can't. "Most teams play their conference games at the end of the season and non-conference opponents at the start," said Murdock. He also stated that for this reason the Bronchos can get plenty of games in September, but not later in the season. Therefore at the end of the season independent schools will generally play other independent schools. "After the East Central game the only teams left on the our schedule are independents," Murdock pointed out. So why do the Bronchos only play nine games a season? For the simple fact that other teams either can't or won't play CSU because of conflicting schedules.

Bronchos off to best start since '79
By Mark Spears Sports Editor With the 31-12 victory over Howard Payne Saturday the Bronchos are off to a 4-0 start. Their best start since 1979 when they finished the season 11-2 and was NAIA runner-up to Texas A&I in the Palm Bowl. The game started out characteristically with the Bronchos scoring on their first possision of the game. The Bronchos took 13 plays, 5 minutes and 30 secondto to go 80 yards for the score with Joe Hayes taking a pitch around left end on fourth and three from the seven.
have scored quick all season long and this game was no exception. Howard Payne stalled once again giving CSU the ball on downs. One play later Vann took a handoff from Page went to the outside broke three tackles at midfield and sprinted into the endzone to give CSU a 17-0 halftime lead.
The Bronchos only ran 11 plays in the third quarter but that was more than enough as Hayes took a pitch 44 yards on CSU's second play of the half for his second touchdown of the game. The play had to be a coaches dream as Page broke the option up field only to run out of room. He then pitched to Hayes who was trailing him on the play. Hayes broke two tackles before turning on the afterburners and racing into the end zone to make the score 24-0. After spending much of the quarter on the field the defense finally surrender only the second touchdown scored against them in the second half all season. After Page's third interception of the game the defense stopped the Yellow Jackets only to return to the field as Randy Preston fumbled a punt at the CSU 49 yard line. Howard Payne still had their problems scoring as it took them 12 plays to cross the goal line for their first taly of the evening. The defense began to show some let lown as the Yellow Jackets converted on forth down plays three times in the drive. The fatal blow coming as reserve
The Yellow Jackets took the ensuing kickoff and drove down the field but stalled at the CSU 32 as Howard Payne took a play out of the CSU playbook going for the first down on fourth and four but Stirman's pass fell incomplete. Page was stricken with interception problems again and he threw one of his three interceptions two plays later giving Howard Payne its first break of the game. But, as has been the case all season long the Broncho defense rose to the occassion and shut down the Yellow Jackets on three straight plays. The Bronchos finally but some more points on the board when Dwain Banks came in to attempt his longest field goal of the season, hitting from 37 yards out to give CSU a 10-0 lead in the second quarter. But, with running backs like Joe Hayes (179 yds.) and Bruce Vann (113 Yds.) the Bronchos
quarterback Allan Wartes hit split end Wade Goddard at the eight yard line and he pranced down the sidelne for the Yellow Jackets first score.
After a Willie Henderson punt Ricky Oliver caused HPU
quarterback Glenn Stirmann to cough up the ball and Tim Stone recovered at the 10 yard line setting up CSU final score.
It took just one play for the Bronchos to score as Page raced 10 yards to make the score 31-6.
The final score of the game came as Wartes once again hit Goddard with a 38 yard pass that just cleared Lester Baldwins outstreched hands. The Bronchos stopped the Yellow Jackets on the attempted two point conversion to make the final score 31-12.
