$1.1 million available for tuition fee waivers By Bill Kramer Staff Writer Central State University's fee waiver scholarships budget has nearly doubled for the 1989-'90 school year because of changes approved by the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education, said Jeanie Edney, director of communications for the regents, Tuesday. Regents approved a policy Sept. 18 during a regular meeting
increasing the amount of fee waiver scholarships an institution can award. The scholarships increased from 2 percent of the previous year's educational and general budget to 3 percent of the current year's budget, according to a report issued by the state regents. The change allows CSU to waive $1.1 million in tuition and fees to chosen applicants. Edney said last year's maximum for CSU was $586,000.
Fee waiver scholarships enable state colleges and universities to waive all, or part, of an Oklahoma student's general enrollment fees based on a student's financial need and grade point average, said Dr. Kenneth Elsner, college of education dean. "Last year the college of education awarded 18 students fee waivers and it worked very well for us. Please see WAIVERS on page 8.

Coed dragged from auto Her stolen car discovered at hospital By Bill Kramer Staff Writer A Central State University student was allegedly pulled from her car by four men near University Center Sept. 10. The men then stole the car, which Edmond police found two weeks later. Laura Simmons, freshman resident of Murdaugh Hall, was turning her vehicle around on Garland Godfrey Drive south of University Center when her passenger door flew open and she stopped to shut it, she said. "My doors pop open when I don't shut them hard enough because they had been slammed so hard by the previous owner," Simmons said.
When she reached over to shut the door, the suspects approached the vehicle and one of them pulled her from the vehicle, she said. "He grabbed me by the hair and my shirt, but mostly by the hair, and threw me down," she said. "Then, I heard one of them say to hurry and get into the car and they drove off. "I was hysterical whilethis was all happening, so I didn't get a very good look at any of them," she said. "It all happened very fast and I'm legally blind, night blind anyway, and I never saw them coming until I was pulled out by one of them," Simmons said. The vehicle was found two weeks later by Edmond police in
the parking lot of Edmond Memorial Hospital, according to police reports. "They (Edmond police) called me and told me to come and fill out papers so that I could get my car back," Simmons said. "They (the alleged car thieves) only took $5 and possibly some of my checks," she said. "It looked like they hit a cure because some of the whitewall was scratched off the tires and the car is now out of alignment, but other than that, and a few minor scratches, the car is fine," she said. "I don't think the guys will ever be caught," Simmons said, "but I'm glad to have my car back." Police said they have no suspects in the case.
