Ad professionals provide advice for career success By Samantha Spencer Student Writer Advertising majors had the opportunity to meet some of the top advertising professionals at the Southwestern Association of Advertising Agencies seventh annual Fall Education Seminar from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday in the University Center. The president of SAAA presented Dr. Bob Hays, assistant professor of journalism, with a check for $1,000 to be used in CSU's advertising department. Speakers at the seminar included Joe Adams, chairman of the Adams Group, Washington, D.C.; Tom Faulkner, independent music and jingle producer, Dallas; Bill Crume, chairman and CEO, and John Crawley, senior vice president and creative direct or , both of Crume and Associates, Emerald City Productions, Dallas and George Kline in-
dependent film and commercial producer, Dallas . Joe Adams shared his 12 secrets to success. Adams' suggestions for success included: enjoying your work, listening, goal setting, learning to fail and creativity. "Creativity is all in the mind. If you believe you are creative, you will be creative," said Adams. Faulkner, who has written jingles for Chili's, Whataburger, Maybellene and Sports Illustrated, advised, "If someone tells you that you can't do something, don't listen." Faulkner said he can not read or write a single note of music; yet he is an accomplished musician who earns approximately $5,000 for composing a thirty second commercial music score. John Crawley spoke on what to do in applying with an ad agency. He suggested limiting resumes to one page and doing something
unique to make them remember you. "Pick a few agencies you would really like to work for. Find out their clients, system of operation and their work. Send resumes to only those few and keep checking back to remind them about yourself," Crawley said. Crume also stressed advertising is fun but it also teaches one how to fail. He presented an slide show of some humorous advertisements. Panels were set up for the attendants to ask questions. The first panel dealt with the types of work and the second covered what these people look for in a possible future employee. The panel consisted of heads of advertising agencies in Tulsa, Dallas, New York and Houston. Panel members addressed questions concerning portfolios and experience.
Regents adopt education budget By Shannon Blockcolski Editor The Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education adopted the 1987-88 operating budget recommendation for the state system of higher education at its Sept. 24 meeting. The Regents are required by the Oklahoma Constitution to assess institutions' budget needs and make a budget recommendation to the Legislature, according to David Blakeman, assistant chancellor for communication services.
The proposed budget of $573,568,251, which is an increase of approximately 21 percent over the $475,557,718, allocated for 1986-87, will be submitted to the 1987 Oklahoma Legislature when it convenes in January, Blakeman said. The Regent's budget recommendation calls for $470,037,413 in state-appropriated funds, with the balance to be funded by $103,530,838 in revolving funds. Revolving fund income consists of student fees, tuition and other educational funds collected at the campus level.
Approved storm shelters for tornado weather listed By Kim Voynar During the tornado warning Oct. 2, many students were wandering around campus because they didn't know where the storm shelters on campus are located. "There are notices posted on all of the major buildings around campus telling where the shelters are located," said Chief Bob Roberts of the Campus Police Department. Roberts said the basements of the following buildings are approved storm shelters on campus: Old North Tower .
Evans Hall Art Building Howell Hall Murdaugh Hall Thatcher Hall Roberts said residents of East and West Halls should go to the center corner of the first floor during a tornado warning. Roberts said students would also be safe in the basement of the Communications Building, although it isn't an approved storm shelter. He said the only reason it isn't approved is because it is too small to hold a lot of people.
"The Regent's recommendation takes into consideration projected increased costs, proposed new programs, needs unmet in the current year and enrollment changes," Blakeman said. According to Blakeman, of the total recommended budget of $573.5 billion, over 75 percent is designated for personnel costs with the balance earmarked for library support. supplies and equipment, physical plant operation and other support functions. State appropriations for higher education for 1986-87 were reduced by 9.5 percent from the 1985-86 level, Blakeman said. In other Regents' business, the Oklahoma Guaranteed Student Loan Program received a $505,059 payment from the federal government. According to Regents Chancellor Joe Leone, the funds, which have been withheld since 1984, will be used to provide services to both lenders and borrowers in the student loan program to prevent defaults. "We are pleased that the federal government is once again meeting its share of the responsibility in this cooperative program among the federal and state governments and private lenders to provide low cost loans to needy students," Leone added. The Regents also gave conditional approval for an Actuarial Science bachelor's degree program at CSU, if the funds are available, Blakeman said.

Senate resolution requests creation of teaching award By Shannon Blockcolski A resolution requesting the creation of a student sponsored Teacher of the Year Award was introduced Monday at the Student Senate meeting. Other resolutions submitted to the senators recommended the promotion of academic reform and the amendment of the by-laws of the CSU Student Association. Senate resolution 86-108, authored by Student Senators Bill Smith and Kristi Saul, recommends the Student Senate determine a procedure for selecting an outstanding educator, and the Student Association present the Teacher of the Year Award on an annual basis beginning with the spring, 1987 semester. "Students interact with their instructors several times over the course of a 16 week semester; and such regular interaction gives a student considerable insight into a teacher's abilities as an educator; and students at Central State cur-
rently have no input in determining an Oustanding Educator for CSU," the resolution stated. Senate resolution 86-109, authored by Smith, requests amending the by-laws of the Student Association by adding that each senator author or co-author at least one piece of legislation per semester, or forfeit his/her membership in Student Senate. Senate resolution 86-110, also authored by Smith, requests student senators be awarded college credit for their work in the Student Association. All three resolutions will be voted on Oct. 13. In other Student Senate business, Student Association President Jeff Shilling announced a leadership workshop will be held 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. Sunday in the University Center Ballroom. According to Shilling, more than 100 letters have been sent to campus organizations inviting them to send representatives.
