Focusing on "Reflections of the Past: Visions of the Future," CSU's Saturday Homecoming activities will include a breakfast for lettermen and past presidents of the Alumni Association, parade, luncheon and the traditional football contest. The Coronation of the Homecoming Queen will preceed kickoff. Registration for Homecoming will begin at 7:30 a.m. in the University Center. A special effort to reunite past presidents will include the past president's breakfast at 8 a.m. in the Redbud Room. John E. "Skip" Wagnon, alumni director, said indications are that 24 of the 30 past presidents will attend. A letterman's breakfast will begin at 8:30 a.m. in the Frontier Room to recognize former athletes. The Homecoming Parade through downtown Edmond will get underway at 10 a.m., beginning at University and Ayers. Parade entries will proceed to Broadway, go south to Second and the back east to University before returning to the Max Chambers Library area where the parade began. The Homecoming Luncheon will be at 11:30 a.m. in the University Center Ballroom. Honored classes this year are the 50th, 25th and 10th anniversary classes of 1933, 1958 and 1973. "Distinguished Former Students," a group recognized each year by the Alumni Association for their outstanding achievements, will be introduced during the luncheon along with past presidents, Wagnon said. Kickoff for the football game with Northeastern is at 2 p.m. General admission tickets are on sale in advance at the University Center until noon game day. Tickets will be on sale at the Wantland Stadium gate at game time. Homecoming Queen will be crowned during special ceremonies preceeding the kickoff. The Queen will be announced at the Homecoming Ball, at 8 p.m. Friday in the University Center Oklahoma Room. All six finalists for the honor will be featured in the Homecoming Parade. Tickets for the Letterman's breakfast are $4 at the door Saturday morning. Luncheon tickets are $8 and can also be purchased at the door. Only general admission tickets remain on sale and can be purchased by the general public for $3.50. Tickets are $1.50 for high school age students. CSU students and faculty are admitted with an ID Card.

Human rights vigil planned By Scott Brown In voicing their support for International Human Rights efforts, the CSU College Republicans announced Tuesday their initiation of a national project designed to advance free emigration to foreign citizens "imprisoned" behind the Iron Curtain. Rallies and petition drives are being planned on campus for the fall, according to Tom Guild, professor of political science and CSU College Republicans sponsor. Also being considered are candlelight vigils and press conferences. According to information sent to the club by the National College Republican Committee, citizens of communist countries are being prohibited to emigrate, even though such is in direct violation of international agreements

comprising the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights. Emigration — the freedom of movement — is a basic right protected by Principal 7 of the Helsinki Final Act, and other international agreements which state any citizen should have the right to leave his/her country. Though the Soviet Union has signed many of these agreements, they have refused to abide to them by charging visa application fees that are in great excess of most citizen's incomes, according to the brochure distributed by the College Republicans. And those who do manage to apply are losing their jobs and being sent to psychiatric "hospitals" in addition to seeing their family members harassed, said National College Republican Committee Deputy Director Steve Baldwin.

Periodically, the Helsinki Accords are reviewed to assess conformity. In Madrid, Spain this year, all member nations agreed to "deal with exit visa applications as expeditiously as possible, lower visa fees to moderate levels and reunite families." Even though the Helsinki Accords is not a legally binding document (no United Nations' treaties are), the Soviets advanced a statement of political intent in signing. The United Nations has at times viewed Soviet compliance as questionable. In 1978 the "Siberian Seven," group consisting of two families, sought refuge in the American Embassy in Moscow, vowing to stay until Soviet officials guaranteed them freedom to leave. This summer, after years of living in the embassy basement, the families were permitted to leave as a direct result of pressure put on the Soviets by the Free World. To pressure Soviet diplomats here and in the Soviet Union, the College Republican Committee plans to circulate a petition requesting free emigration around universities and colleges nationwide. With a set goal of a million signatures nationally, the petition will be turned over to Ambassador Jeanne Kirkpatrick.

Opinion Page Keep apathy off campus; write letters

•

Letter to the Editor: One issue of your newspaper irked me; not your general, overall content, but the letter of complaint. I hope none of the students who have been writing to The Vista complaining about conditions on campus take Larry Stephens' letter to heart. While I am sympathetic to Mr. Stephens' physical difficulties, I disagree whole-heartedly with his basic premise. Just because some endure more than others without complaining does not mean the system is perfect and should not be changed. CSU's administrators can have only limited, personal contact with the 13,000 plus students we have on campus. The only way they can learn of student concerns is through those with enough gumption to vocalize. No matter how prestigious our officials are, they are as human as the rest of us. It is a rare human who can read minds. I encourage every student with a complaint to let someone in authority know. Either write an administrator or write The Vista, but write to someone! In fact, why not take complaints a step further. Devise a system which would conceivably work better than the one in use and make a suggestion to the person in charge. Apathy is deadly. Don't let it invade the CSU campus. Deborah Shell

Notes from the Editor's desk:

Approval of lot funds unnoticed By Mike Sherman Editor Letters complaining about and discussing the campus parking situation have filled the editorial columns of The Vista for the better part of the semester. Yet when the Board of Regents for Oklahoma Colleges approved funds to pave the commuter lots on the south portion of campus, not a creature was stirred — not even a commuter. Granted the university has been slow in accomplishing what Alvin Alcorn, executive vice president of administration, pledged would be done in 1979. But, funds haven't exactly been pouring in and the state budget situation hasn't improved lately. When something is wrong, attempt to right it. When something is good, applaud it; bravo administration, bravo Regents. Hopefully the dust storms that plague the panhandle will banished from CSU entirely soon. A major government move? President Reagan made the decision to move the "Doomsday plane" to an area less likely to be hit than Andrews AFB in Maryland last week. The plane would be used by the president as a command post in the event of a nuclear attack.

A White House aide said a hit on the plane would result in the "decapitation of the government." What the president and his aides don't realize is that the present arms race will result in the decapitation of the world's population. Pull the plug on Watt Joan Rivers' comments on the Emmy Awards telecast Sunday night may have gotten a bit out of hand, but one of her statements gave viewers something to think about. Rivers told co-host Eddie Murphy that if he "had a limp, we could be the committee by Secretary of the Interior James Watt." Many of the other things Rivers had to say may have been embarrasing to some, but James Watt has been an embarrasment to the government as a whole and the Reagan administration in particular. Watt's remarks about the Beach Boys was in poor taste and was an example of the evils of generalizing. But, by saying a committee he appointed had the make-up because it had "a black...a woman, two Jews and a cripple," went too far. Whether one agrees with his policies is irrelevant. The last time a goverment

officials was heard making such remarks he was pressured out of the job (example: Earl Butz stepping down after his racial remarks on a plane.) Watt has become a liability the United States Government should not have to endure. Reagan must pull the plug on Watt.

Ex-marine dispells myths

•

State,local, world news Reagan keeping Watt President Reagan said in an interview Tuesday with The New York Post, that he will not fire Interior Secretary James Watt and aides close to the president said it is unlikely that Reagan would accept Watt's resignation if it was offered. The president also sent a letter to congressional leaders Tuesday assuring them he would seek their approval of any expansion of the role the U.S. Marines in Lebanon. In other presidential news— Defense Secretary Casper Weinberger said President Reagan will make a trip to China next April after Chinese Premier Zhao Ziyang visits the United States in January. Weinberger said relations with the Chinese are warming and that talks are being held with the Chinese on the subject of modernizing their armed forces.

Navy narrows search area

Student breeds snakes for money By Matthew Driskill Associate Editor Why would an ex-Marine want to keep a West African Gaboon Viper, a hila monster and several rattlesnakes in a small room in his house? "I like snakes and once the babies start hatching I can make pretty good money," said CSU zoology major, Garth Hutchison. "I guess I've been into snakes since I was about 13 when my dad brought home some rattlesnakes and kept them for awhile. When I came back from serving in the Marines I decided to see if I could breed them and make some money at it. "It's kind of hard at first to make any real profit because some of these snakes cost anywhere from $200 to $300 and then I've got to get about $5,000 worth of insurance on them." As Hutchinson talked he reached in and picked up one of the rattlesnakes from the many cages that line the room of his house in Crescent.

"You have to be real careful when you handle these. I've only been bitten once and that was about six years ago when I was younger and not very careful. It wasn't a rattler, but a water moccasin." Unlike dogs or cats, which are the mainstay of pets for most families, Hutchinson has chosen snakes as his pets and his way of making a living. "They are cleaner, quieter and you don't have to feed them everyday. I usually feed them a rat once a week and that holds them pretty well. For the uninitiated, watching a four-foot Gaboon viper attack and devour a good-sized rat can be an unsettling experience. The snake moved around its prey slowly, waiting for the right moment to strike when it lashed out in a blazing thrust to inject its poison. "The gaboon's venom usually takes only about three or four seconds to kill one rat," Hutchinson explained. "After they strike

The U.S. Navy said Tuesday it was narrowing the search area for the "black box" flight data recorder of the downed Korean airliner. The Navy said it was now searching in a 15-square-mile area off the coast of Moneron, an island in the Sea of Japan. Several officials from the International Civil Aviation Organization were taken aboard Navy vessels to serve as impartial witnesses could testify that the boxes had not been tampered with in case they are found.

Fighting continues in Lebanon The fighting in Lebanon has not stopped in spite of a cease-fire put into effect Sunday. Christian and Druse militiamen exchanged fire Tuesday and the Lebanese ?army traded shots with Moslems in Beriut. An Italian member of the multi-national force stationed there was wounded in the fighting and has been reported in good condition. The Lebanese army said different factions involved in the fighting were taking advantage of the truce to rearm themselves.

Nickles blasts cargo bill A bill that would require farmers to ship more grain on American vessels could cost Oklahoma farmers more than $2,000 a year according to U.S. Sen. Don Nickles, Ponca City. The measure, if passed, would make it mandatory for 5 percent of U.S. commodities to be shipped on American vessels each year with the requirement reaching 20 percent in 15 years. Nickles said this would cost the average farmer $468 a year at 5 percent and $1,874 a year at 15 percent. The bill is now in committee and holding hearings on the measure which was sponsered by Sen. Paul Tribe of Virginia and Sen. Ted Stevens of Alaska.

Cup changes hands The New York Yacht Club officially awarded the America's Cup to the Australia II syndicate Tuesday, after the Australians won the best of seven series Monday. The defeat of Liberty, the American defender, brought to an end the longest winning streak in sports history. America had held the Cup for 132 years. The Cup will now rest in Perth, which is the only city on the west coast of Australia and site of the Royal Perth Yacht Club which was the official challenger for the Cup.

Professor denounces report Dr. Daniel Selakovich, a professor at Oklahoma State University, denounced the Reagan administration's recent report that more money was needed to improve the nation's schools. He said the report was full of weaknesses and errors and points out that not all states can raise the revenue needed according to the report. AS,

they won't let go usually. They just disengage their lower jaw and swallow the food whole." Hutchinson is careful about the people who buy his snakes. He wants to know who the people are and refuses to sell a poisonous snake to anyone who doesn't know how to handle them. "I've had a lot of people ask to buy cobras from me but I won't sell the snakes to them. I sold one cobra to a friend of mine, but he knew how to take care of it and how to handle it properly." One of the more unpleasant aspects of breeding snakes is force feeding a snake that won't eat. Hutchinson explained that force feeding a snake requires putting mice in a blender, liquifying them and then feeding it to the snake with a syringe. "It doesn't sound like fun and I haven't had to do it yet, but I know some people who have. It's one of those things that you have to do if the snake won't eat," Hutchinson said. Many people are not aware of how poisonous some snakes are. Baby rattlesnakes are almost twice as venomous as the adults because they have no other protection. Adult snakes can uusually defend themselves by frightening people because people are more afraid of larger snakes. Hutchinson explained some of the differences between the venom of a cobra and the venom of a viper. "A viper's poison works on the tissues of the body. It breaks them down very quickly and causes massive bleeding. The venom of a cobra works on the nervous system and is not quite as fast. A person can usually live after being bitten by a cobra if they get treatment in time. You can live after a viper bites you, but it's real easy to lose an arm or a leg if you don't get treatment in time. Snakes throughout history have had myths spread about them said Hutchinson. Many myths here in Oklahoma are just that, myths. "Yea, I hear them all the time," (the myths) said Hutchinson. "There is one going around about how sometimes a water skier will ski right into a big group of water moccasins. That's just not true. Snakes have always had a hard time of it because people don't really understand them. Look in the Bible. Adam and Eve got thrown out of the Garden of Eden because of a snake. "Some people don't realize how fragile snakes can be. I have to handle them very carefully and as little as possible because they can become stressed very easily and die." Hutchinson has to keep the snake room at a temperature between 80-85 degrees fahrenheit in order for the snakes to be comfortable and to improve his chances of breeding the snakes. "It sure drives up the bills during the winter. But in the long run, the money I make off the snakes will more than pay for the bills," Hutchinson said.

Marx says energy problems just starting By Eva Calipeau For some it has become a crisis without consequence — a toothless tiger created by industry to further escalate sky-rocketing oil prices. But for CSU physics professor, Dr. Whit Marks, this country's shortage of fossil fuels is no harmless pussycat waiting to slink away once exposed. It is a matter of serious national concern. "We face the potential of crude oil reserve exhaustion by the turn of the century," Marks warns. "We have been lulled into a false sense of complacency because we've become convinced that our energy problems are over at a time when they're just beginning." To help meet this eventuality, the physics department is conducting research into possible energy alternatives to fossil fuels and other nonrenewable sources. With the assistance of CSU students, Marks has renewed study into a process he researched for doctoral dissertation — the use of hydrogen as a secondary energy source. "Hydrogen is a secondary source in that some form of energy must be utilized to produce it," Marks explains. "Through electrolysis of water, we can separate oxygen from hydrogen and store the hydrogen for later use." This system of "storing" electrical energy in the form of hydrogen to be reconverted into electricity later makes hydrogen what physicists describe as a carrier of energy. The advantages to this system are numerous, Marks points out. Through the use of hydrogen as a carrier, electricity can be stored during. periods of low usage and then reconverted to accomodate peak usage periods. "Peak usage is a critical problem in the electrical industry," he says. "There's an economic problem with building primarily to satisfy a particular energy appetite at a particular time of day. Hydrogen storage facilities offers a less expensive route." In addition, hydrogen is a relatively clean energy source, Marks insists. When it is produced, the only by-product is oxygen. When it is reconverted, the resulting by-products are energy and pure water. Marks started his research in the early to mid-fifties as work on his doctoral dissertation. While he served as chairman of the physics department, Marks' interest in energy continued although he did not resume research except for a few isolated tests. After the 1973 oil embargo, his current research project began in earnest. "Since completion of my dissertation, the information I discovered has basically been lying dormant," Marks says. "We're interested now in confirming what I did then." Although the work Marks is doing will not have any direct industrial application, he believes it will provide the foundation for more applied research later.

"The work we are doing will offer some new insights in terms of intermediate steps in the overall electrode process that evolves hydrogen," Marks explains. "When we know intermediate steps, often times we're able to determine better cost effectiveness." Marks also suggests that basic research is extremely essential to industrial research laboratories. If the information CSU publishes is widely accepted in scientific communities, companies might be more willing to fund more research in this investigation. Daimler-Benz and other companies in Europe and Canada are already involved in extensive research in the application of hydrogen to power homes and cars, Marks says. Illustrating the practicality of the process, he points out that some commuter buses in Europe are fueled by hydrogen. Marks' concerns now are with implementing the system as part of a total alternate energy plan in this country. His involvement includes participation in the Edmond Energy Committee and the Oklahoma Regents' High-Tech Committee. Marks is also serving as coordinator of a task force on renewable energy resources, a broad-based study group that is working in cooperation with the natural resource committee of the state legislature to consider energy alternatives for Oklahoma. The energy transition in society is made more difficult by the inertia of the political infrastructure and the strength of lobby groups in resisting change, Marks says. "It's pretty difficult politically to discuss alternative energy sources because so much of the public is geared to the oil industry," he explains. "So many jobs depend on it." More interest will develop in hydrogen and other renewable sources, Marks believes, as the public becomes more concerned over the future of fossil fuels and anxiety increases over the risks of nuclear energy and more familiar alternatives. "The solution to the energy crisis lies in not one thing you do," he states, "but a myriad of things — solar, hydrogen, ocean thermal, wind and others. The choices are there." The optimal system, Marks suggests, would' be using hydrogen in combination with another non-polluting renewable resource such as solar energy.

Scott paces Bronchos to win

Harriers win OCC meet, 2-0 By Mark Spears Sports Editor

The CSU cross country seam is 2-0 after another outstanding performance winning the 14th annual Oklahoma Christian College Invitational, placing three runners in the top ten. The Bronchos, who have won this race three of the last four years, were paced by Joe Scott (26:39) who finished fifth. Scott finished one minute and three seconds behind winner Steve Delano. Delano, the No. 1 runner from Southwestern Ks. was the winner of the event last year as well as NAIA National Champion.

Joe Horton finished sixth (26:45), followed by Tim Moore (26:52) in the seventh position to be the only Bronchos to finish in the top ten. Just 38 seconds seperated the top five finishers for CSU with the fourth and fifth CSU runners being Jeff Murr (12th in 27:13) and Alan Barnes (13th in 27:17). Rounding out the top seven finishers for the Bronchos were Lamont Frazier (18th in 27:32) and Mark Busick finished 19th in the time of 27:37. "Our main strength is depth.

We don't have to rely on two or three guys each week. "Horton and Scott probably ran the best race of their careers Saturday," said Coach Paul Parent. The CSU runners have consistently gotten better and equal as a team each week they have run. "We had kids that had a good base workout over the summer and they are strong right now," said Parent. He also commented that as the season progresses the competition in the top ten will get closer and be very competitive. "So far we are pleased with our workouts and we are 2-0 now," said Parent. The Broncho harriers finished the meet with 43 points followed by Southwestern KS (64), OCC (95), Tulsa (110), Behtany KS (117), Oklahoma Baptist (119) and Oklahoma City University (144). After this meet the Broncho harriers should be considered the favorites in the District Nine race but Parent says that the next six weeks leading to the district meet are crucial and things could change. The harriers travel to Stillwater to compete in the Oklahoma State

Jamboree, the Bronchos are twotime defending champions in the college division, where they will probably have trouble defending their title. The Bronchos stiffest competition in the race will come from Haskell Ks. and Barton County Ks. "We will definately have our work cut for us this weekend," said Parent.

Head coach Gary Howard listens to offensive guard Buddy Link (61) on the sidelines as teammates listen in during the Howard Payne game Saturday. These huddles are used to make adjustments during the game and will probably be found this Saturday when CSJ takes on the Northeastern Redmen for Homecoming at 2 p.m.

Redmen looking for revenge

NSU poses test for Bronchos By Mark Spears Sports Editor The Bronchos have started off the season 4-0, but face their toughest tests of the season in the next two weeks beginning with fourth-ranked Northeastern Saturday for Homecomirig. Northeastern is 2-0, opening their season with a 42-20 victory over Langston followed by a 14-10 squeaker over Arkansas Tech two weeks ago. In two meetings last year the teams split. NSU won the regular season 42-26 and CSU dashed the Redmen's championship hopes by winning in the playoff semifinals 28-17. "We probably haven't played, as it looks on our schedule, a team with the ability of Northeastern. It will be by far the toughest team we've played to date," said Broncho Head coach Gary Howard. The entire NSU backfield from last year returns led by quarterback Frank Marsaln (Sr., 6-2, 200) and running backs Kalvin Farrow (Sr., 6-1, 180) and Joel Sense (So., 5-10, 228). Last year Farrow lead the team in rushing with 967 yards and was named to the All-District Nine and All-Oklahoma Intercollegiate Conference teams. After two games Farrow has 121 yards and

two touchdowns on 22 carries and is second on the team in rushing. Sense was the third leading rusher last year with 309 yards on 71 carries and is currently leading the team with 156 yards on 31 carries. Sense has one touchdown and his best effort was 102 yards against Langston in NSU's first game. Another running back to watch for is Phil Goodman. Goodman, the backup tailback, has 109 yards on 26 carries while seeing limited action. In 1982, Marsaln had an outstanding year, throwing for 1,613 yards and 13 touchdowns on only 92 completions. So far this season Marsaln is 15 for 38 with 216 yards, two touchdowns and one interception. He threw for 134 yards against Arkansas Tech.

The receiving duties are carried out by The Associated Press AllAmerica wide reciever Cedric Mack and flanker Cary Wickersham. Last year Mack had 37 receptions for 851 yards and nine touchdowns. He currently leads the team with 166 yards and two touchdowns on 11 receptions. Wickersham has 41 yards on 3 receptions this year and will probably share duties Saturday with Weldon Peel. Peel, a freshman, is the fastest man on the NSU roster, timing at 4.3 in the 40 yard dash. The NSU offensive line is anchored by sophomore center Greg Vick (6-0, 215). The rest of the line consists of tackles Richard Wheeler (6-3, 235) and Paul Garcia (6-2, 255). The guards are Jeff Brown (6-4, 260) and Vince James (6-1, 245). Finishing out the of-

fense is tight end Pete Richardson, who has yet to catch a pass for the Redmen this season. The NSU defense (they run a 5-2) has been very stingy this year yielding only 187.5 yards total offense per game. NSU has only given up 209 yards on the ground but, they haven't come against two better running backs than they'll see Saturday in CSU's Bruce Vann and Joe Hayes. The defense is led by strong safety Adam Reese (5-7, 170). Reese leads the team in tackles with a total of 16 (13 solos and 3 assists).

Cornerback Tony Brooks (5-8, 180) has seven solo tackles while also pulling down two interceptions to lead the team in that catagory. The only major injury for the Redmen is to Stan Carlis. Carlis, a senior free safety, sustained a knee injury in NSU's victory over Arkansas Tech and was operated on early this week. Taking over his spot will be sophomore Ronnie Mixan. Mixan was thrust into a starting spot last year when Allan Anderson was injured and has seen some playing time this year.
