University takes off for fall break By Terri Carpenter Staff Writer If Student Senate President Joe McCourry would have gotten his way, Thanksgiving vacation would have been extended to a full week and students wouldn't have had a break after mid-term exams. Well, he didn't, and class won't be held Monday and Tuesday because of fall break, giving students and faculty a four-day weekend. "About two years ago my predecessor as president (Tim Reese) started work on trying to get a fall break because several of the other schools had a fall break and there was no reason why we shouldn't have one," said McCourry. Reese worked with the administration on setting up and coordinating the fall break. "They agreed to put it on the schedule and last year was our first year to have the fall break," McCourry said. The date for the break was decided by a senate vote after a long debate, he said. It was voted to be two days after the mid-term, in order to give students time to "recuperate" after taking tests, said McCourry. "It was a kind of recuperation period after the mid-term so you could have a few days off to relax because everybody would be tense from doing their mid-terms," said McCourry. The alternative to this, was to put to combine fall break with the two days allowed for Thanksgiving so students would have a full week for Thanksgiving vacation. If this was done, students would have been allowed an extra day off to make five days, and another day would have to be added at the end of the school year to meet the state minimum number of class days, said McCourry. McCourry said he supported the Thanksgiving option, but the idea wasn't very popular because Thanksgiving is only about three weeks before the semester was over. Before the fall break resolution was passed, the senate members surveyed students and asked them when they thought the break should be. This survey showed that students wanted it after midterms, said McCourry. Before the fall break came
about, two class days were scheduled "that were just extra days. We were going two more days that required," said McCourry. "The reason for that was, in the event that we should get a real bad snow and they should have to shut down classes," explained McCourry, "that we would have those two extra days to meet the state minimum. "But so seldom do we ever get snow before New Year's that we (student senate) felt that it would be in our benefit to go ahead and run it this way." McCourry said the Thanksgiving break couldn't be lengthened without adding extra days at the end of the semester. However, McCourry said faculty he talked to perferred extending the Thanksgiving break because it is a short week anyway. "This makes another short week," said McCourry. "We have a short week for Labor Day when we start off, and now we have the short week for fall break...and this takes a lot of time out of their study time. If it has all been put in one week, then it would have been over and done with," said McCourry. Faculty Senate President Dennie Hall said the only complaint he has about the fall break is that it doesn't coincide with Edmond public school's break which is today and Friday. This poses a problem for faculty or students who have children in the public school system.

Campus leaders dispute grade inflation By MaryGaye Franklin Former Faculty Senate President Anne Lynch believes there is a grade inflation problem at CSU and that the faculty senate or academic counsel should do some thing about it. At least three campus leaders disagree with her. Carl Reherman is among the ranks. Reherman, who serves as assistant to the president, thinks the matter of grading is up to the individual instructor. "I am not speaking as a representative of the office of the

president," said Reherman "I am speaking as a tenured faculty member and political science instructor of 10 years experience at CSU. "I think that when you talk about grade inflation you are talking about one person's interpretation of how another person is handling his or her classes. I resent that very much. "I don't believe one person can judge another person's teaching ability nor should they even begin to try. It is not anyone else's responsibilty nor is it any of their business. "As a teacher I taught my classes as I felt like my students not only wanted to be taught but also how I felt they would accept the material. In testing I tested them based upon the materials that I presented or upon the assigned readings. "Under a very strict or a loose interpretation of academic freedom I would be adamantly opposed to anyone telling me how to teach and grade my students," Reherman said.
"I could guarantee you that all the faculty members that I know would disregard a set standard for teaching and grading their students. They would say 'I will teach my classes and grade my students as I see fit'." Reherman said the rise in grades over the past few years could be attributed to better, more mature students who are more dedicated toward their studies than younger students. "The mere fact that I have a class where all the students have `A's does not indicate grade inflation, maybe they all deserved `A's. "When you keep the best faculty members and give them tenure then grades are a secondary issue. When you keep these faculty members you have to place your confidence in them to do their best job in the classroom." Student Senate President Joe McCourry agreed that there is a small amount of grade inflation but "not as much as faculty senate would like us to believe. "I think that neither the faculty
senate nor the academic counsel should legislate plans to curb grade inflation without student imput," said McCourry. "Faculty seems to think that students are always looking for an easy way out in classes. I feel just the opposite. I think students would be tougher on themselves and would set higher standards for themselves. McCourry said students realize that they suffer from the consequences of grade inflation and not the faculty. Dr. James Perry, vice president for academic affairs, also agreed there is some grade inflation but he insists it is not something that can be "legislated." "You can't legislate grading anymore than you can legislate morality," said Perry. "The curtailment of grade inflation is a function of the professional commitment of the faculty," he said. "Any grade system used by any university is suppose to be geared to measure compentency. See GRADES, page 6

Opinion Page Right to drink? Pros outweigh cons in raising age to 21 By Matthew Driskill Associate Editor It's a scene that has been played out many times in history. The police officer pulls a sheet over the head of a young boy who lays sprawled on the street, a victim of drinking and driving. The United States is in the throes of a major problem that will have national repercussions: whether to raise the legal age for buying and consuming intoxicating beverages to 21.
Editorial
21, are given the freedom to buy and consume alcohol, people die more frequently in traffic accidents. Not only are drunk drivers under the age of 21 a problem, but alcoholism in people under the age of 21 is becoming a national crisis. Studies have shown that an increasing number of teenagers are becoming alcoholic, with some starting to drink in elementary school. Why should people risk the lives and futures of their young for a bottle of booze, when days and years of pain
and sorrow are in store for them, because of some young kid who was out for a good time and finished the evening under a blood-stained sheet on a glass strewn highway? What are some of the ways to cornbat all of these problems? First and most important, set 21 as the national age at which a person can legally buy and consume any type of alcohol. This step has already been taken by Rep. James Florio, D-N.J., who is the author of a bill that would set 21 as the
age limit that people can legally buy alcohol. Second, make the punishment for violating the law a felony requiring jail sentences and fines. Third, enforce the law to the limit to let people know that the rest of society is sick and tired of waking up to a telephone call in the middle of the night with an official sounding voice on the other end saying, "Mrs. Jones, I'm sorry but there's been an accident."
The question of raising the age limit poses other questions from opponents: —If a person can be drafted at 18, why can't they drink? —If a person can vote for public office at 18, why can't they drink? In answer to those and other questions, opponents to raising the age limit might keep in mind these facts: —A recent study by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety showed that when states lowered their drinking age in the mid-70s, alcohol related accidents among young people increased. —A disproportionate number of accidents, causing billions of dollars in damage every year, involve alcohol and young drivers under the age of 21. —A Gallup poll released this year showed that a large majority of 18-, 19and 20-year-olds, would favor a national 21-year-old age limit for drinking. —Experts predict that if the age for drinking were raised to 21 nation-wide, about 730 lives a year could be saved. To say that all young people under the age of 21 cannot handle alcohol would be a mistatement. On the other hand, the facts show unmistakably that when young drivers, under the age of

Andy Coats, mayor of Oklahoma City, proclaimed Nov. 7 through Nov. 18 as ( KCSC DAYS' in Oklahoma City "in recognition of the valuable contribution this radio station has provided our community and to show the city's support for this great radio station in their continued programming of classical music and promotion of the fine arts," Coats said. According to the mayor's office, the award was given to KCSC-FM because the station will be holding `Novemberfeast,' a 12 day series of special classical, opera, jazz and folk-bluegrass programming and other special events in an effort to raise money for programming and equipment. Other attributes of the station acknowledged in the proclamation by Coats are that KCSC-FM radio began broadcasting in 1966 as Central Oklahoma's first public non-profit station; the management of KCSCFM radio committed programming to classical music in 1979 and has played recordings of the Oklahoma Symphony Orchestra season and local artists and producers; and that KCSC-FM radio is deeply committed to providing air time for local non-profit groups.

Ad group sponsoring career day By Deborah Thorwart
The Oklahoma City Advertising Club will sponsor a Career Day Nov. 9, at The Center, 5901 N. May Ave. in Oklahoma City. "This day is one of our most important events of the year," said Rose O'Riordan of the Oklahoma City Ad Club and The Journal Record. "The event consists of a series of four seminars that allow students to investigate just about any avenue of advertising and to find out about the different careers available in the broad field of advertising." "The event is not just for advertising majors," said O'Riordan. She emphasized it was for anyone in the fields of news or magazine journalism, broadcasting, marketing or art who is interested in finding out how advertising is used in those fields. At the seminars, students will be able to meet and talk to professionals who actually perform in roles in which they may be interested. Top executives from various television, radio and newspaper firms will be there along with executives from major advertising agencies including the Lowe Runkle Company. "The seminars will provide the students with an informal atmosphere in which to get to know the professionals from the leading advertising and media firms in Oklahoma City," said O'Riordan. "The advantage of the informal seminar is that it also gives the professional a chance to get to know the students as well."

Alpha Gams donate time for charity By Larry Shockley

Members of Alpha Gamma Delta Sorority pushed hot-dogs and worked childrens rides at Frontier City in Oklahoma City to raise money for the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation (JDF). JDF is the international charity of the Alpha Gamma Delta Sorority chapters all over the United States. Money is raised each year. The sorority raised approximately $2,000 by each member working 10 hours a day for at least two days, receiving minimum wage. In the past the members collected money by walking door to door in the Edmond vacinity. "Working at Frontier City offered a quicker and easier way to make money," stated Rie Gerah. "Anything is better than walking door to door." "It was a lot of hard work, but we got a lot of satisfaction from helping the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation" said Karen Bentley, Alturism chairman (fund raising) of the sorority. The pledges ' Alpha Gamma Delta are Kt.,,. Walker, Kelly Queri, Lisa Allen, Michele Stillwell, Vanessa Patterson, Vandi Roth, Julie Coury and Sheila Stafford. Other pledges are Tracy Rogers, Michelle Nowell, Debbie Woodward, Cathy Canfield, Lisa Moore,. Shannon Robertson, Cathy Kiser, Pam Furguson, Cyndi Creek and Tracy Land. The members of Alpha Gamma Delta are Tracy Evans, Donna LaQuey, Sonya Potter, Cheryl Vorel, Lisa Queri, Karen Bentley, Shelley Klemme, Tami Peters, Jenny Fowler and Cindy Smith. LeeAnne Bryant, Julie Barkhart, Rie Gerah, Lauren Allen, Sabrina O'dom, Teri Williams, Teresa Smith, Ann Downey, Karen Reherman, Beth Clegg, Keyanne Orick, Tanna Roberson, Lori Crawford and Toni Thomas were also involved with the project.

Grades continued from page 1 Faculty members are inclined to award higher grades to encourage students, said Perry, and on borderline cases, the higher grade is given. "That is a human inclination. It is also a human inclination for students to want higher grades," Perry said. Perry added that grades should not be used to punish students. "There are times when faculty members get upset at students for different reasons. There is an inclination to lose sight of the grading structure and to measure competency in a somewhat punative measure," said Perry. "That is wrong just as it is wrong to arbitrarily assign high grades," he said. "It is the job of the faculty member to stand firm and to do a quality appraisal of

'83 'Vann' having big year
Something Every Night for CSU Students!
By Mark Spears Sports Editor
Sunday - Live Entertainment - "Elan" Monday - Big Screen NFL Football Tuesday - Ladies Night Wednesday - Men's Night 11:00 p.m. Complimentary Benedict Breakfast Thursday - Free Midnight Bubbly Friday - Complementary Taco Bar
Like all football teams the CSU Bronchos go on the road to play about half of their games. When the Bronchos hit the road they generally take a bus, but when the Bronchos wish to go down the field they take the van — Bruce Vann. Like new cars that come out of Detroit each year the 1983 model Vann at CSU is stronger and better than ever. Vann has the acceleration of a corvette and the power to break through lines like a Mack truck. The '83 version is — for the first time since he's been at CSU — 100 percent healthy, except for the usual wear and tear on any running back. In Vann's sophomore season at CSU he was hit with a number of nagging injuries. He severely twisted his ankle and was out for two games. Then he got a case of turf toe that did not keep him out

of the line-up, but hampered his running. Then last season Vann was hit with a knee injury sustained against Northeastern during the regular season but after surgery and a lot of hard work he came back to make an appearance in the playoffs. Vann doesn't have a cut and dried explanation for all of his injury problems, but bad luck could be a part of it. "The main reason would be not enough preparation or working out," said Vann. He commented that he was a little disappointed with his injury last year because of the hard work he had put in over the summer. "I worked real hard last summer and carried it over to this summer. I'm still working hard during this season," said Vann. After all of the bad luck he has endured throughout his career at CSU it's about time Vann had some good luck. That good luck has come this year as the back from Putnam City is having the best year of his career. Vann has racked up 618 yards on 75 carries in the Bronchos six games. Vann is averaging 8.2 yards per carry also, but his season has been overshadowed by the performance of transfer tailback Joe Hayes. Another thing that helped Vann as well as Hayes's performance has been the fact that most teams are looking for CSU to go to the air. "We have more than one threat and it always leaves one of us open. Also the threat of pass opens up the running game," said Vann. Vann accomplished one of his preseason goals when he was nam-
ed District Nine Offensive Player of the Week this week for his performance against East Central. Vann picked up 172 yards on 15 carries as well as two touchdowns. He had TD runs of 38 and 71 yards and commented that the defense ECU ran was a factor in his having such a good game. "One of my goals was to gain 1,000 yards and I'm a little off the pace with 600. In the last three games I need about 125 (yards per game) to go over," said Vann. The Broncho offense is one of the most balanced offenses ever at CSU balanced between the pass and the run with Page, Vann and Hayes in the back-field and Willie Henderson and Daric Zeno catching the passes. "I don't want to say we can't be stopped but we are confident we can drive on anyone and with a few big defensive plays we can score on anyone," said Vann. It always seems that the running backs and receivers are the ones who get the press clippings, but without the offensive line they wouldn't have a whole to run through and pick up the yards that get's them in the paper, says Vann. "One contribution to our success is a good offensive line. They work hard for what we get," said Vann. It looks like Vann and Hayes have a good chance to become the first 1,000 yard backfield at ever at CSU. They both are averaging over 100 yards a game and will have to keep it up to get 1,000 yards in a nine game schedule. So if you are thinking about buying a new van come out and watch the Broncho football team and see a Vann better than any that come of Detroit. ■■■,■■■•■

New season excites James By Mark Spears Sports Editor In David James's first season as head coach of the CSU Broncho wrestling team, the grapplers finished fifth in the NAIA National Tournament — a good finish for most schools. But not for CSU fans who have come to expect a national championship each year. With 18 returnees from last year's team, including eight starters and six All-Americas, and 18 recruits it looks like the Bronchos could improve on that finish this year. "I'm real optimistic and excited about this year," said James. "Hopefully we won't make any of the same type of mistakes this year." Two of the factors in the Bronchos success over the last four years have been seniors Benny Coleman and Ronnie James. Coleman came to CSU and went right to the top of the NAIA national charts after being crowned national champion his freshman year. Despite nagging injuries over the last two years, he has still been an All-America each year. "He had a bad ankle (last year), but he still wrestled with it. He wrestles with pain and that's a big plus," said James. James has a chance to become
the first four-time national champion in CSU history and will go one up on his coach and brother, David, who was four time AllAmerica while winning two national titles. "We're excited for Ronnie because he's going for his fourth national title. The main thing going for him is that he has not had any serious injuries," said James. Also back for another season is senior Darren Huff. Huff was a national runner-up in 1982, but sat out last season to concentrate on school and James thinks he is back to get a national championship. Another player who has had trouble with injuries in the past is 118-pounder Mickey McGowen. James commented that McGowen has had good regular seasons but bad luck with injuries have plagued him in post-season tournaments. Due to one of the better recruiting seasons in the past couple of years, there are some freshman who have a chance to knock some of the more experienced grapplers out of their spots. One of those is 126-pound Brian Bentley, a state runner-up last year at Ponca City. "He is an excellent upper-body wrestler and probably one of the best throwers around," said James.

"The seniors have realized that if they don't work there is a freshman or sophomore who can do just as good a job. "Also, the freshman have super attitudes and just need to learn. They will push our juniors and seniors," said James. One of the problems James pointed out with last years squad was the lack of depth, but that doesn't look to pose any problems this year as the Bronchos are three and four deep at each position. "When you get 36 competitive wrestlers together it makes the coaches job easier," commented James. The wrestling season begins with the annual Bronze and Blue intersquad match on Nov. 10. The traditional match is exciting for the fans to watch because there are usually some ranking matches and James says this year will be no different. The Bronchos first official home match will be against Southern Illinois, who has just moved from NCAA Div. II to Div. I. on Nov. 23. "We're going to find out early just how good we are. They are going to have a very good team," commented James. "We've got a lot of talent and everybody is working hard. If you work hard good things are going to happen to you."
