Marching band to play at away game half-time By Mike Sherman Staff Writer CSU's Marching Band will travel to their first away game this year Saturday as the band accompanies the Broncho football team to Talequah for their game with Northeastern. "This is our first marching appearence out of town this year, and everyone is pretty excited about it," said band director Kent Kidwell, an associate professor of music. "In the past we have taken a pep-band, but we are going along this time because this is a big game for the team. Last year we went along with the team to Portales, N.M., and Commerce, Texas." Central State goes into the game with a record of 3-1, with their only loss coming against Southwestern. The Northeastern Redman sport a 3-0 mark. Both teams were ranked in the National Association of Intercollegiate of Athletics Top 20 Poll as of last week. The Redman placed fifth while the Bronchos were seventeenth. In past years, the band has made numerous trips. In 1979, when the Bronchos were in the NAIA playoffs, the band accompanied the team. That season the Bronchos advanced to the finals before lossing to Texas A&I. Kidwell said the band looks on the trip as a opportunity to promote the university's band program, but the main reason for their attendance is to aid the team. "Of course they (the students) want to go up there and show off, they are all musicians. All musicians can't wait to get out and perform," admitted Kidwell, "but, our main service is to the team." The trip, which was approved Tuesday by CSU President Bill Lillard, was the result of discussion between Kidwell, the athletic department and the administration. "I usually talk with the athletic director (Charles Murdock), the coach (Gary Howard) and the administration. They all just agreed it would be a good idea," Kidwell said of the trip. The band will take a seperate bus from the football team. Kidwell said this may be one of the reasons the unit doesn't always travel to away games. "I guess it gets a little expensive hiring two buses," he said.

Student Senate

Legislators alter office of attorney general

C

By Mike Sherman Staff Writer The office of attorney general to the Student Senate, one which has been recently vacated, was altered by the student legislators in their meeting Monday. The attorney general can be a help to students who need legal aid for any reason, commented Susan Witt, vice-president of Student Senate. The attorney general will represent the student in case of disciplinary proceedings against him. The main alteration to the bill, designated article 82-201, was the term to be served by the attorney general. Currently, the attorney general serves a term of one year. If the attorney general resigns after the

first semester, another one is appointed by the Student Senate President. The new office-holder would then serve for a year. The resolution, which passed unanimously, states that in the event of a resignation at mid-year by a attorney general, the newly appointed one would merely fill the rest of the term. Witt said that this was done so the attorney general's term would run parallel with the president's term. "The main reason behind passage of the resolution," said Witt, "was the to make it a bit more precise and concise. I think it was evident the entire senate agreed it was something that was needed. There was just some disagreement about some of the details."

The bill, which only required 45 minutes of debate before the vote, also requires candidates for the office to have completed constitutional law and introduction to law courses. Candidates must maintain a 2.5 grade point average in all courses.

Craig McVay Craig McVay, the former attorney general resigned his position earlier this fall because he withdrew from classes. Witt said the office will not be filled by appointment. Instead, the position will be filled by an election in November. At this time, the resolution for the alterations of the attorney general's term will be decided by the students. If it passes the student vote, the amendment must be approved by the administration before becoming a permanent part of the constitution.

Witt added, "If the student has to go before the administration for disciplinary reasons, the attorney general may go along to provide advice," Witt said. "We want the students to know that they have the options to have him there. "Also, the attorney general also has a file available to the students which includes respective attorneys or legal-aid groups should they need legal advice outside the campus."

In other Student Senate news, elections were held for 16 senator offices. However, at time of press, the results were not available. The student legislative body is also finalizing homecoming activities for the week of Oct. 25-30. Included in the weeks activities will be a movie night, a dance and a parade. Those interested in entering a float in the parade should contact the Student Senate to register.

New catalogs hit bookstore stands CSU's General Catalog for 1982-84 is now available at the University Bookstore for $2.00. The new catalog includes 199 pages of information about the university including degree programs, both undergraduate and graduate, and other general information. Dr. Patrick Cassens, vice president of academic affairs said the new catalog is an attempt at putting all of the information about CSU's academic programs and policies in one publication.

Cassens added that although there is no set time schedule set on the release of new catalogs, the current one will undergo constant change due to the new programs which are currently under consiration by the Board of Regents. The last version of the catalog was published in 1977. A color picture of Old North Tower, the oldest building of higher education in the state, is featured on the cover of the catalog.
