Senate okays appointees By Mark Mitchell Student Writer The Central State University Student Senate met Monday and approved presidential appointees to the senate. Supreme Court Justice Jeanie Bernardy swore in the new senators, including Angela Helmig, Monte Townsend, and Julie Conatser from the College of Business; Darrel Ferguson from the College of Education; Bret Purser and

Howard Pelphrey from the College of Liberal Arts; and Hazel Lynch, Math and Computer Science. Terry LaFrance, an appointee, was given a "Do Pass" by the Continuum Committee, which deals with the internal functions of the senate, but approval by the senate is still pending. All of the new senators were appointees with the exception of Purser, and Pelphrey, who were

elected in the general election Sept. 26. Helmig, Conatser and Ferguson were unable to meet with the Continuum Committee, which would ordinarily make recommendations to the assembly concerning presidential appointments. Lisa Coen, CSU Student Association President, requested that the assembled members handle the interview process because Please see Senate on page 8.

Water, sewer rates raised By Jett Dempsey Student Writer In a divided effort, the Edmond City Council voted 3-2 Monday night to increase water and sewer rates including those at Central State University. Philip Arnold, assistant vice president for administration, said it is always a problem when rates go up, but that he didn't have enough information on the final plan to know how it would affect the budget. "At this point, it does impact the budget, but it's in good enough shape to handle it in the short run. But in the long run, we're looking at pretty big numbers. I suppose they will give us figures, then we'll be able to make calculations," said Arnold. Nick Widener, comptroller, said that the increases won't affect CSU's budget largely now, but could later. "We plan for things like that in the budget, but if they (the council) go into a phase two (more rate increases), it could affect the budget in the long haul," said Widener. The adopted plan calls for a 35 percent increase in water rates and a 49 percent sewer rate increase. The rate increases are to begin this month and continue for a year. Council said that in six months the situation will be reviewed to

see if a larger increase is needed. Edmond's public utilities have been in debt for some time. Costs of operating the water and sewer systems have increased substantially over the past two years. Ward 4 Councilman Buddy Morris said that the main reason is the new water plant at Arcadia Lake. Morris, who voted for the increase, said that building the Arcadia plant created a $24 million debt. Because of more debt, the plant has had to operate yearround rather than the projected four months out of the year, thus creating more costs. "We've got an octopus out there, and it's eating us alive on

costs," said Morris. The council had also discussed the possibility of issuing bonds or the raising of sales tax by a penny to generate money for public utilities. The bond issue died quickly, as did the sales tax issue. Said one member of the audience: "I do not want to pay for somebody else's green lawn!" Morris and Councilmen Tom Kennedy and Mitch Harris voted in favor of the increase. Councilman Randel Shadid and Mayor Carl Reheman opposed the vote. The mayor complained that the measure did not let the water and sewer departments become selfsufficient.

By Valli Covert Associate Editor Are Central State University's Student Senate and Residence Halls Association in violation of Oklahoma's Open Meeting Act? Ned Bastow, an assistant state attorney general, said he believed the student senate and the Residence Halls Association at CSU are in violation of the Open Meetings Act by not filing the required notices with the Secretary of State, although he has not conducted an investigation into the matter. Student government associations and residence halls associations are considered subentities of the Board of Higher Education and are subject to Oklahoma's Open Meeting Act, according to Attorney General opinion 79-134. According to the act, all public bodies must give notice in writing by December 15 of each year for the following years' regularly scheduled meet ings. The Open Meetings Act specifies that all meetings of public bodies shall be held at specified times and places which are convenient and open to the public. All state public bodies are required to give notice to the secretary of state, and all county public bodies shall give notice to the county clerk, according to the act. The Act also specifies meetings shall be preceded by advance public notice specifying the time and place of each meeting, as well

as the subject matters to be considered at the meeting. Agendas are required to be posted 24 hours in advance of all regularly scheduled meetings, and 48 hours in advance of all special or reconvened meetings. CSU's student senate does post the required agendas, but according to Darlene Adams of the secretary of state's office, there is nothing to indicate any organization at CSU has filed the required notices. Linda Birdsong, deputy (Oklahoma) county clerk searched for anything under CSU and could find nothing listed. "We do not have anything for Central State at all. The warrant desk is where these (notices) are filed," she said. One of the entities that has filed with the county clerk is OU's Oklahoma City Campus Health Science Center, Birdsong said. Some universities and colleges that have filed notices with the secretary of state records office are; Carl Albert Junior College, Eastern Oklahoma State College, Oklahoma State University and the University of Oklahoma. The Board of Regents for Oklahoma Colleges has also filed notices of meetings with the state. Dudley Ryan, dean of students at CSU, said he was aware of the attorney general's opinion and would remind the student senate and Residence Halls Association of it. Ryan said he was not aware Please see Groups on page 8.

Student wins lawsuit; damages awarded By Valli Covert Associate Editor A graduate of Central State University won a civil lawsuit against another student Tuesday in Oklahoma County District Court. Mark Beutler had sued Clark Powell for about $75,000 in actual and punitive damages stemming from an altercation the two had in June of 1987 while working at KCSU.

Beutler, Powell and another student, Brian Shipman, were at the television station and a confrontation ensued. Beutler said he was trapped, and Powell hit him in the nose while Shipman held him. Powell said he was shoved by Beutler into a wall. Beutler's nose was broken according to CSU police Chief Bob Roberts. Beutler had to have two Please see Lawsuit on page 8.

Viewpoints Discovery launch thrills Americans By Mark Finley

Sports Editor Last Thursday morning, the space shuttle Discovery lifted off from launch pad 39B at Cape Canaveral despite a short weather delay. It marked a new beginning for the space program as it took to the outer limits of the atmosphere for the first time since the tragic Challenger accident 32 months earlier.

Commentary

right through me. It was as if I was going with them. Then it started its slow roll, with those ever so menacing, rocket boosters firing, and there it went. As the television cameras followed it on its way to the earth's orbit, I just couldn't keep my eyes off those rocket boosters. It was the failure of the boosters that killed the crew of the Challenger. I was already late for class, but I wasn't going to leave that TV set until they left the earth's atmosphere. Then, within minutes they were gone, and I was relieved .

For many people, it was a very special moment. A kind of nervousness was probably being felt by almost everyone who watched the launch. It may have been the first time in over 20 year-s since the early Apollo project that the people of this nation were not taking a lift-off for aranted. For me, it turned out to be a very special morning. Not only because NASA was on its feet again, but an experience a local radio station provided touched me in such a way that it brought tears to my eyes. I was over at a friend's house watching the lift-off between classes. As it started to leave the pad, a surge of adrenaline shot

As soon as they were out of sight, I jumped into my car to get to class. As I turned my radio on, which was tuned to the KATT, I heard to my surprised pleasure the coverage of the space shot. Then it happened. Just as the announcer on the radio reported that the shuttle had reached the point of no return, I could hear music being faded in ever so softly. I recognized it right away. I was completely overwhelmed. The song was "Countdown" by my favorite rock group of all-time, "Rush." It was a very fitting song in that it was written back in 1982 when the members of the group were the invited euests of NASA to witness the first shuttle launch. As I drove to class, the song seemed to build until it reached a point when you hear the countdown of the original shuttle launch, mixed in with live conversation of the Discovery crew and mission control. It was the best piece of radio work I had ever heard. I realize that very few who read this will understand what I actually felt last Thursday morning, but I felt I had to share this because I have great admiration for those people who risk their lives in the effort to further our knowledge and to help open the doors to that final frontier. When those people go up, a piece of everyone on this earth goes up with them. And we thank them.

Space shuttle worth cost By Martha Giglio

Editor The shuttle Discovery was welcomed back Monday by an enthusiastic nation of well-wishers.

Low vote indicates a lack of support To the Editor: Yes, the low voter turnout does change the end result. How does the Student Association Senate expect the university's administration to take it seriously when only 94 students (the senators and their friends) turn out to support it?

Letter Sure, a change in the parking policy is nice. Sure, it helps to know senators have

"investigated" student fees. And definitely these changes have taken forever. Why? Because the students on this campus do not support the Student Association. It's only logical the administration would not act with urgency on any recommendation this group brings forth. And once again, I urge the senates (both student and faculty) to create a December graduation. Think about that. Jack Money

After completing a successful mission, the astronauts, Cmdr. Fredrick Hauck, pilot Richard Covey, mission specialists David Hilmers, John Lounge and George Nelson were greeted by a crowd of 400,000 at Edwards Air Force Base in California. A $100 million communications satellite which will allow NASA to communicate with future shuttle missions was successfully released, and experiments were conducted by the astronauts, including some developed by an OU graduate. Despite all the excitement and flag waving, some doubt the necessity of continuing such missions. The flights cost billions of dollars, and the argument has been raised that money could be better spent feeding the hungry or housing the homeless. Invaluable advances in medicine have been made possi-

ble, however, during space missions. Space exploration has

Editorial allowed experiments which are only possible in a zero-gravity environment. Advances have occured in both cancer and diabetes research. Also, conveniences taken for granted, including zip-lock bags, micro-wave ovens, freeze-dried foods and insulated clothing have come about as a result of space exploration. This launch will allow further progress and conceivably lead to breakthroughs. These pioneers and those to follow may soar into the heavens and solve the mysterious, conquer the impossible and achieve the unattainable.

Magrill composes electro-acous t ic music •

By William Philpott

Student Writer What is electro-acoustic music? According to Assistant Professor Samuel Magrill, it is a combination of taped, computer and live

music. All of the electro-acoustic music today is experimental and performed to an audience, he said. Magrill wants to present a fresh approach, so people can bet-

ter appreciate older music. A composition of electroacoustic music by Magrill, titled "Children's Voices," will appear Oct. 29 at the Boston Computer Society's Computer and Music

Conference at the Massachusetts College of Art. Magrill's main goal at CSU is to develop a strong area for composition. He stresses that a forum for the performance of the pieces is crucial for the growth of the students. Performance allows for instant feedback and communication to the student. Music is not only sound but theater, and much can be learned from this experience, he said. Magrill has already formed the CSU Composers' Ensemble which will perform is first show on Dec. 1 in Mitchell Hall. The performance is titled "An Evening of Experimental Music." The material will be written this semester by the students,

‘‘I don't want a lot of hype. I just want something I can count on,,

Magrill said. He hopes to have at least one performance a semester. Magrill is working with Dr. Clif' Warren, dean of Liberal Arts, to create computer music workstations. The workstations will give the student access to complex equipment otherwise financially out Magrill of their reach.

Central State University's Art Club nearly filled a 47 passenger bus with members and nonmembers alike recently and headed south to the Dallas Museum of Art. While there, the club viewed an exhibition of works by American artist Georgia O'Keefe. Jo Fleharty, Art Department secretary, said she was surprised by the size of the paintings. "From looking at pictures, I expected something bigger than seven inches by nine inches," she said. "They were still beautiful, but just kind of small." Dr. William L. Hommel, Art Department chairman, said there was a 15 minute slide presentation that provided background to the show and O'Keefe. "The presentation provided the viewer a better foundation from which to understand and appreciate the exhibit." Hommel said the exhibit was from O'Keefe's earlier works until the time she died in 1986, but did not include some of her most famous works. O'Keefe's earliest work from when she was training was "demolished" because she felt that it reflected too much influence by her instructors, Hommel said. Rhys Roark, Art Club president, said he generally liked the the exhibit, but expected larger pieces. His favorite work was "Jack-in-the Pulpit", a painting of a flower, he said.

Bronchos still looking for first win By Mark Finley Sports Editor After suffering their third loss of the season last Saturday against East Texas, the Central State Bronchos are looking towards this week's game against Abilene Christian with more confidence than any game so far this year. Though the Bronchos lost by a score of 35-21 to East Texas (ranked 10th in this week's NCAA Division II poll), CSU played with more intensity then in those games played against Mesa and Southeastern earlier in the season, according to head coach Gary Howard. "I was real pleased with the effort we had against East Texas," said Howard. "Effort-wise, we played more like Broncho football. I feel we played with the emotion it takes to win at this level." Offensively, the Bronchos had their best showing of the year as they gained 315 yards in total offense. Sophomore Pinkey Hurley led the charge by rushing for 100 yards on 24 carries and one touchdown. It was the first 100-yard day for the Fox, Okla. native, and it was the first for CSU since John Sterling turned the trick by rushing for 160 yards in the final game in 1986 against Lamar.

The CSU fullback tandem of Idabel freshman Glen Braxton and Lawton junior Terry West combined for 89 yards rushing with Braxton scoring once. The Bronchos on the day ended with 177 yards on the ground. By far their best day of the year. Turnovers again hurt the Bronchos as an interception by East Texas enabled the Lions to score late in the game to put it out of reach. In the third quarter, a fumble recovery led to another East Texas score that tied the game. And so it goes. Penalties were also a problem as CSU racked up over 100 yards in penalties, including a late hit personal foul on linebacker Mike Bennett that kept an East Texas drive alive and eventually led to the go ahead score midway through the fourth quarter. "Bennett's hit was a close call," said Howard after the game. "Their quarterback was headed for the sideline and Bennett was chasing him at full speed and he just couldn't stop in time when their guy threw the ball away. But we still made some crucial mistakes with turnovers and penalties that you've got to eliminate in close ball games." Against Abilene Christian, the Bronchos will have to avoid giving

up the big play which they didn't do against East Texas when the secondary was burned for four touchdown passes. ACU quarterback Jim Gash, a back-up to regular starter Stan Stephens who suffered a concussion last week against Eastern New Mexico, came off the bench to rally the Wildcats from a 17-7 deficit by throwing 62 and 41-yard passes

for touchdowns and a 21-17 victory over ENMU. Gash threw for 153 yards against ENMU on only six completions and will be ready to take over for Stephens if he's not healthy. Stephens is questionable for this week's game against the Bronchos. "Abilene Christian had a similar start to us," Howard said,

"but they did get a win under their belt last week and that should help them. They've always been a good throwing team and from our standpoint we haven't done a good enough job of defending the pass so we've got our work cut out for us." Kick-off for Saturday's game is set for 7:30 p.m. at Wantland Stadium.

CSU golfers win ECU tournament By Jerry Pierce

Student Writer The official season for Central State University's golf team doesn't start until March, but the unofficial fall season is keeping coach Skip Wagnon's squad busy. Wagnon took two five-member teams to the East Central Fall Classic in Ada Sept. 26, with CSU's blue team finishing first among squads from East Central, Southwestern State, Northeastern, Southeastern State and Oklahoma City University. The Bronchos' gold team finished fifth. Tim Adler, a junior from Longview, Texas, was the leading qualifier and low scorer for the Bronchos in the East Central tour-

nament. Wagnon seems pleased with the performance of Adler. "Tim Adler is doing very well. His game has really improved over the summer, especially his short game," Wagnon said. The team competes this week in the All College Tournament at O.C.U. in a field that includes several N.C.A.A. members such as the Big Eight's Kansas State and Iowa State. The team will complete it's fall season at the O.D. Bounds Invitational at the Fossil Creek Country Club in Fort Worth during the third week in October. According to Wagnon, the defending NAIA District Nine champs will have their hands full this spring as they compete for the

'88 Games tarnished by politics and drugs By Mark Finley

Sports Editor The Olympic Games are over. Finally. Or should I say, the Olympic Shams are over. And what a shame it is too. For the first time since the Montreal games in 1976 the major nations were together and not apart because of some political situation that was out of the athletes control.

Tim Adler Lone Star Conference title. "It may be the strongest Division II (N.C.A.A.) golf conference in the United States now that Cameron and us are in there," Wagnon said.

But, politics again marred the games along with a few misguided individuals who thought they had to win at any cost by using drugs (steroids) to enhance their performance. First off, I want to talk about the boxing match between Roy

Jones of the United States and Park Si-hun of South Korea. What an outrage. It just boggles the mind that the three judges, who are from the boxing havens of Morocco, Uruguay and Uganda, saw something else that everyone in the world didn't see. There is no question that Jones won the fight by a wide margin. Si-hun even admitted later that Jones won the fight. Elmo Adolph, an American referee and judge who has been in amatuer boxing for 24 years said, "it's the worst judging in boxing since I've been in it. I'm extremely disappointed almost to the point of being incensed." Anwar Chowdhry, president of the International Amatuer Boxing Association said the scoring was bad and that it had been a frequent problem at other tournaments. With that, the IABA made Jones its most outstanding boxer of the Olympics. Wow, some consolation. It's obvious that money had to have exchanged hands or some kind of politicking was involved. If it was, they sure picked the wrong match to show it. All during the last week of matches it had been rumoured that someone or someones from South Korea, whether it was Olympic officials or whatever, had been offering bribes to judges and referees. Considering that the three judges that voted for Si-hun are from third-world nations, it seems to me that they left Seoul a little richer then when they arrived. The two judges who saw the fight as it really was were from the Soviet Union and Hungary, people that don't need to be bribed because they probably would have to answer to someone if they tried to spend their ill-gotten gain. Jones was so disappointed about the decision that he told a NBC reporter that he might not turn professional because of what happened. Of course he'll probably change his mind when he gets his first big time offer to fight, but for that moment he must of felt so cheated that none of it much mattered. As for the steroid users, well, what is there to say? All they got out of using, them was a big fat zero. Not only did they embarrass themselves and their country, but put other athletes who don't use steroids under more scrutiny. As for Ben Johnson, he completely made a sham out of the main event of the Olympics. The 100 meter dash is the ultimate prize in amatuer competition. To be called the fastest human on earth is one of the greatest accomplishments anyone can achieve. But to do it by using artificial means is an insult, not only to his fellow competitors, but to the rest of the world who look up to these individuals as someone who represents hard work and total commitment to achieving his or her goal. It should be noted that out of over 9,000 athletes tested during the Seoul Olympics, only about 10 tested positive for a banned substance. It's just too bad that one of the 10 was in an event that has the Olympics' biggest spotlight.

Senate Continued from page 1 of the time element. She said it wasn't fair to make these people wait any longer. During the interviewing process, Bill Smith, senator from the College of Education, asked each of the appointees what committees interested them or what kind of legislation was of special interest. Helmig said that the application of financial aid and how the SA could make that information available to more students concerned him, while Conatser expressed concern about the budget, student fees and their allocation. Ferguson, a political science major, said he was there to learn and as he understood more, then he would be better able to contribute. Ten seats are still vacant in the Senate, including one in the College of Business, three in the College of Education, two in the College of Liberal Arts, one in the College of Math and Computer Science and one for the Residence Hall Association. Using agenda time reserved for judicial reports, Bernardy expressed disappointment with the assembly over less than professional behavior exhibited during the swearing in of new senators in the last meeting. Bernardy read the definition of "oath" from "Websters Dictionary" and said that respect for the senate could only be accomplished if the senate was will-

Lawsuit Continued from page 1 surgeries performed on his nose. "1 was told to keep it quiet, not to go to the press," Beutler said. Workman's compensation was denied because he was not working at the time of the altercation, Beutler said. Powell said he had offered to split the cost of the medical bills with Beutler and that was the agreement, but Beutler went ahead and filed the lawsuit. Beutler and Powell were ordered to pay equally for Beutler's medical bills, which were around $4,500, and Powell was ordered to pay $200 in punitive damages. "I consider it a victory when you consider that the prosecution was asking for $75,000 for pain, suffering and punitive damages and only got $200. When they were asking me to pay the entire medical, the court decided the plaintiff (Beutler) should pay the other half. When he asked for compensation for time he missed work, the court didn't give him a dime," Powell said. Beutler said he was happy with the outcome of the trial. "I was awarded enough damages to pay my medical bills and some compensation for my pain and suffering," Beutler said. "I feel like justice was served today," he said.

ing to show respect for itself as an assembly and for its individual members. Timothy Kalman, speaker of the Senate, appointed three senators to chair committees: Marion Barton, Faculty Relations; Tim Heflin, Chairman, Commuter Affairs Committee and Monte Townsend, Publicity Committee Chairman. Debate was heard over Senate Resolution 88-108 which concerned a means by which the senate would provide information and assistance to new students during the first week of classes of each semester. Authors Bill Smith and Timothy Heflin argued that not only would the senate be providing a service to the college community, but also it would give the students an opportunity to meet and exchange information with their elected representatives. The resolution failed, on a vote of 10-yes, 14-no, and two abstentions. Those who argued against it said that the resolution, as written, lacked specifics and for this kind of legislation to be effective, it needed to spell out responsibilities to committees and to senate members who chose to participate. This is the second time that legislation of nature has been presented to the assembly. Other resolutions on the agenda were either withdrawn by the authors and/or referred to committee.

The petite pageant was created so that women 5'4" and under could compete against others of the same height, Shaw said. The women in the Oklahoma pageant were judged on interviewing skills, swimsuit and evening gown competition. The winner of the Miss American Petite pageant will receive over $50,000 in cash and prizes. "I'm really looking forward to it," said Shaw. "I've never been to Orlando. It's going to be exciting."
