Voters to decide boundary question By Charles Gaylor Capitol Reporter When Oklahoma's voters go to the polls Nov. 2, there will be three state questions to be voted on, in addition to the races for public offices to be decided. State Question 556 calls for the creation of new congressional boundaries to be drawn for the state's six U.S. congressional districts. The Republican sponsored question would do away with the bounadries that were created by the legislature after the 1980 census. Many leading Republicans feel that the new districts are aligned that favors their Democratic opponents. If approved, the state legislature would then be empowered to create new boundaries for the districts. The next question on the ballot concerns bond elections and the method by which they are approved. If approved, these county, city and town bond issues would no longer be required to garner 60 percent of the vote to be approved. Instead, a simple majori-

ty would be all that is needed to pass. Passage of the issue would also allow a change in the length of indebtedness to be incurred. The question calls for changing the length of borrowing time to 30 years instead of 25 years as is now the limit. The total amount of indebtedness would also be raised. The ceiling on bonds would be allowed to be set higher than "generally applicable" but not totaling more than 5 percent of assesed property value in the city, town or county in which the issue is being decided. The amount of the bond could not exceed the total revenue of the local governments asking for the new money. The third and final issue to be decided by voters in the general election next week, is state question 558. This would amend Article X of the state constitution. The amendment provides for the state legislature to enact laws for the funding of water resource development by local governments. The legislature would authorize

the use of state funds as either gifts or grants to local governments for the development of such projects. This question, if approved, is expected to help smaller municipalities with outdated or inadequate water systems. This question, and Question 557 are expected to be endorsed by Oklahoma City's City Council in a resolution calling for their passage during its weekly meeting.

By Mike Sherman Assistant Editor Seniors and graduate students, entering the job market at the end of the fall semester, will have the opportunity to meet with representatives from fifty businesses and government agencies when the School of Business sponsors "Career Day," Wednesday. Representatives will be on campus to visit with students about career possibilities, with many searching for perspective employees, said Paul Roach, assistant professor of business and one of the faculty coordinators of Career Day. The fourth annual Career Day will begin at 8:30 a.m. and last to 3 p.m. on the third and fourth floor of the University Center. The representatives will set up booths in the University Center, and Roach advised students who will be looking for jobs to bring their prepared resume. "We are encouraging business faculty members to dismiss classes so that students can come over to visit with the different representatives," said Roach. "But this activity is for all CSU students and we are urging all to attend." R. A. Young, one of the founders of the T.G.&Y. Stores Co., will be the guest speaker at the Career Day luncheon. Young, a native Oklahoman, is now retired after serving as chairman of the board of the company from 1964-76. Roach said that he expects Young to give students a picture of what the business world was like in 1930. When he founded the Oklahoma based company, give his views on today's business community and project into the future. During the luncheon, Dr. James Perry, dean of the school of business, will honor four former CSU students who have excelled in the field of business. They are: Randel T. Dunn, a partner in charge of the tax department of Deloitte Haskins & Sells of Oklahoma City; Joe Webb, Joe Webb & Associates of Dallas, Texas; Donald Wright, president of Allied Lakewood Bank of Dallas and Kathleen M. Henry, director of store marketing and sales promotion of the McDonalds Corporation. Perry will present these alumni with plaques honoring their achievements. "Normally we will have 3-4,000 students at Career Day, and I expect it will be the same this year," predicted Roach. "It has really been a success because of the enthusiasm the students have shown." Roach credited student organizers John Karis, Dana Pierce, Pam Parker, Greg Reber, Jerrie Hrdy, Donna Harrington and Leigh Harp for the efforts in Career Day. The Career Day activity was set-up in order to give students exposure to the job market and allow them direct contact with business firms, said Perry.

Broncho flag to debut By Mike Sherman Assistant Editor When "Old Glory," Oklahoma's 75-year Diamond Jubilee banner and the State flags all fly Saturday in the CSU Homecoming Parade through Edmond, they will have some company. The new flag will be none Other than a hot-off the press banner representing CSU. The banner, which was designed by Carl Reherman, mayor of Edmond and assistant to CSU President Dr. Bill Lillard, will fly for the first time during the parade and the Homecoming football game with Cameron, Saturday at 2 p.m. The flag is bronze and blue and Reherman said the flag was something the university has been lacking. "The purpose of creating the flag was to represent the university," said Reherman. "It is the first of its' kind in the school's history as far as I know." Reherman said that the flag could be made available for pur-

chase for those interested. Those who would like a copy should contact Reherman at his office in the Administration Building so that he make arrangements with the manufacturer. "I would hope that the univer-

city's fraternities and sororities will purchase a flag," said Reherman. The new flag will be displayed by the ROTC color guard prior to the football game during the playing of the "Star-Spangled Banner."
