Infant death case still open By Valli Covert

Associate Editor No charges have been filed yet in the death of a 27-day-old infant who lived in Central State University's married-student housing. All police reports have been turned over to the Oklahoma County District Attorneys office for review, CSU police chief Bob Roberts said. "I am so frustrated over this thing," Roberts said in reference to charges not being filed for lack hard evidence. All evidence in the case is circumstantial. Corey B. Carter, of Broncho II Apartments, 600 N. Chowning. died shortly after being taken to

Edmond Memorial Hospital Aug. 30. The autopsy report from the State Medical Examiner's Office indicated the infant died from blunt force trauma to the head. Assistant District Attorney Don Deason confirmed Tuesday that his office has possession of the police reports. "Charges have not been filed yet and it would be premature to comment on the case. "We are not trying to delay (filing charges), we want to tie this case up one way or another," Deason said. The case is still under investigation by CSU police, Edmond Please see Baby on page 12.

Regents give support to state universities By William Philpot

Student Writer Questioned whether they were phasing out the noncomprehensive colleges and universities in Oklahoma, the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education passed a resolution supporting both the comprehensive and noncomprehensive schools at an Oct. 18 meeting in Tulsa. A number of presidents of noncomprehensive schools questioned the regents on whether they were phasing out the smaller schools through the allocation of funds.

Typesetter delays issue of The Vista Printing and distribution of the Tuesday edition of The Vista was delayed due to a breakdown of the typesetter at the print shop. "It's just one of 'those unforeseeable things that happens," said David Polhemus, print shop director. "It's like computers; they go down." To accomodate the advertisements scheduled for Tuesday's issue, today's paper will be 12 pages. Due to production of the Central State University catalog, The Vista will be printed on newsprint at The Edmond Evening Sun for the remainder of the semester.

The Regents had allotted over 80 percent of the 1988 budget to OU and OSU leaving the remainder to be divided among the other Oklahoma universities and colleges, said Jeanie Edney director of communication for the regents. The regents responded by passing a resolution supporting diversity in Oklahoma higher education. Chancellor Hans Brisch said all three types of schools, comprehensive, regional and special purpose, and two-year colleges, have unique and equal importance in meeting the student's needs. The diversity will prepare Oklahoma to meet the challenge of the future. The long-term direction of the allocation system is toward bringing every Oklahoma institution to the level of its peers in the Big 8 and Big 10. The regents are not trying to eliminate any institutions but make each one a "pyramid of excellence," Brisch said. Another possible step in the improvement of Oklahoma higher education that the regents considered at the meeting was the raising of admission standards. Former Admissions Dean for Tulsa University, Charles Malone, said higher entrance standards will stimulate more interest and higher enrollment through a better perception of quality in Oklahoma schools. This might keep more graduating high school seniors in Oklahoma. Central State University now accepts students who rank in the upper 75 percent of their high school graduation class. The proposal to the regents is to raise the standards to the top 50 percent of the graduating class, said Darrell Please see Regentson page 12.

Group to pledge allegiance

Senate passes resolution By Mark Mitchell

Student Writer I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Central State University's Student Senate passed Senate Resolution 88-111 Monday, requesting this pledge be placed as first item on its weekly agenda following roll call and announcement of quorum. Authors Jeffrey Aynes, Business; and Randal Terrill, Liberal Arts; both emphasized passage of this resolution would not require senators to recite the pledge. The issue addressed by authors and proponents of 88-111 was not to mandate recitation of the pledge but give those who wish to participate the opportunity to do

so. Consideration of this legislation involved suspending the Rules and adopting Special Orders. Jeff Shilling, in his capacity as parliamentarian, objected to Special Orders "since this was violating the requirements of the Open Meeting Act and thus, in order to comply, would mean reaffirming (the decision of the senate) at the next meeting." Six senators representing proponents of the measure and six senators opposing the resolution debated the issue. The issue for debate was placing the Pledge of Allegiance on the agenda of General Assembly meetings of the Student Association Senate, however arguments for and against the resolution varied from this to expressions of patriotic zeal. Bill Smith, Education, opposing 88-111, said the issue was in-

Grou s to com I By Valli Covert

Associate Editor Central State University's Student Senate and Residence Halls Association have indicated they will comply with Oklahoma's Open Meeting Act.

correct in its form and should be presented as an amendment to the By-laws of the SA constitution. Jeff Blansett, Liberal Arts, said his original intent was to research the legal aspects concerning the pledge in order to support his argument against the resolution, but finding none, supported it through sponsorship as an author. Senate Speaker Timothy Kalman opposed the measure with the argument, "You can't mandate patriotism." He also said that after so many recitations of the pledge there was the danger of it losing its meaning. Jeffery Aynes said the senate should show patriotism. He also asked for the chance to say he would "like to see the foreign students say it too." The resolution now goes to president Lisa Coen for her consideration.

Student Senate serves useful role To the Editor: Recently many questions as to the purpose of the Student Senate have been raised. I would like to address them for the students from a senator's perspective. The Student Senate is the governing body for the Student Association. The Senate is responsible for activities, elections and the approval of charters for campus organizations. Last year the Senate sponsored numerous dances, movies and other activities such as a hypnotist. This year the Senate will sponsor dances and a reception for Veteran's Day. Both "Beverly Hill Cop" movies have already been shown. The Student Senate provides all of the activities at no cost to the student. The Student Senate also sponsors every election from senate elections to campus leader elections. Each of the 80 organizations at Central State University had to file a constitution that was approved by our organization. The Senate performs these tasks while we also propose changes in policy to the administration. The Student Senate addresses issues ranging from commuter parking to student petitions. Last year alone, commuter parking policy was changed through legislation to include more handicapped spaces, Tuesday and Thursday unrestricted commuter parking, and keeping the C-1 east

lot open during festivals. These changes have been described by last year's The Vista editor as minor. I feel the bottom line is, how much did you pay for all of these activities and changes? It cost a little more than $1 per student for this and more. Now ask yourself, "Did I get my money's worth?" Finally, what do senators get out of the deal? Senators are required to give up three hours-a-

week minimum, but most of us spend much more than that. Senators are not paid, nor do they receive college credit for their time. Senators are required to complete college work, as we all are, and must maintain a grade point average. There is little or no prestige, and we get more criticism than praise. So why do we do it? Student senators care about CSU

students, faculty and adminstrators enough to sacrifice and try to accomplish goals that will serve to make CSU a great institution. The Senate wants the student's support and is receptive to any suggestions or ideas. All students have to do is call extension 3337, or visit us in the University Center room 424J. Tim Kalman

Senate support urged To the Editor: There has been a lot of talk lately about the Student Association, low voter turnout and support. I believe the controversy of low support for the Student Association comes from the ill founded conclusion that low votes equals low support. Although I agree students should vote, I have never voted in a Student Association election. Yet I'm darn glad we have a Student Association. When I fail to vote in a national election it doesn't mean I'm un-American. If we don't support the Student Assocation, we should vote rio for the constitution rather than not vote at all. When I fail to go to a band festival it doesn't mean I hate the

band. I trust the Student Association more than the Central State University administration. If problems are going to be solved, we need to support the ef-

forts of the Student Association. They are volunteers who support us. We should applaud them for their willingness. Greg Yeager

Writer gives advice: 'cherish your friends' To the Editor: Today, people don't appreciate what they have. I'm referring to their boy-friend or girl-friend, husband or wife. Everyone just needs to take a step back, look at what he has, and cherish her or him. Bring the

romance back into your life. Do the little things to keep each other happy. You don't know what you have until you've lost it. And to lose someone you care about and love so much hurts a whole lot. Pete Steinmetz

Faculty Senate votes on proposals By Tim Earley

Student Writer The Central State University Faculty Senate approved two proposals, returned two proposals to committee and ratified the Higher Education Faculty Association constitution during their Oct. 13 meeting. The senate also approved a letter written by Senate President Fred Grosz to the administration expressing concern over the dean selection process at CSU. Senate proposal 87-21, "Faculty Personnel Records," was approved unanimously after it was amended. The proposal includes the issues of type, content, access, use and maintenance of faculty personnel records that are not explicitly addressed in the faculty handbook. The proposal was amended to include a statement that personnel records must be kept in a locked file with limited access. This will bring the Faculty Handbook in compliance with the Federal Privacy Act in regard to personnel records. Proposal 87-25, "Student Evaluation of Instruction," was also unanimously approved by the senate. The lengthy, twenty-one page proposal recommends several revisions to the current evaluation process including the way the document is administered, the types of questions and the handling and use of the data. Proposal 87-21 and Proposal 87-25 will be forwarded to CSU President Bill Lillard for his consideration. Proposal 87-26, "Appointment, Reappointment and Evaluation Procedure for Assistant Dean," was returned to the

Personnel Policies Committee to be reworked after the senate could not agree on the amount of time the assistant dean would serve before being re-evaluated. As written, the proposal states that the assistant dean would serve a term of four years, but discussion centered around the need for a four-year term as opposed to a one-year term. The shorter term would make it easier for the dean of a college to replace the assistant dean in the case of professional differences. The proposal was also amended to allow the assistant dean onehalf release time from teaching to compensate for the additional responsibilities at the position with no additional salary benefit. Proposal 87-27, "Job Description of Assistant Dean", was returned to committee along with Proposal 87-26 because of the joint nature of the legislation. In other news, the faculty senate ratified the newly formed HEFA constitution unanimously. Sen. David Bass, faculty senate parliamentarian, was elected by acclamation to represent CSU in the organization. The HEFA is an organization consisting of all faculty of higher education institutions in Oklahoma as represented through each institution's faculty organization. The purpose of HEFA is to promote higher education and the interests of higher education faculty in Oklahoma. The senate also approved a letter as written by Dr. Fred Grosz, senate president, to Dr. Clyde Jacob Jr., vice president for academic affairs, expressing concern over the inconsistent application of policy used during the' re-

cent dean selection in the College of Education. The letter states that the official selection procedure for academic dean was passed by the faculty senate and approved by CSU President Bill Lillard in early 1987. In June 1988, a decision was made to fill the acting dean position in the College of Education on a permanent basis, but the established procedures were not followed. The letter says "....this not only circumvented stated policy, but also set a dangerous precedence which can potentially render the faculty handbook ineffective or even useless. Such an apparent disregard of policy is an affront to the efforts of the Faculty Senate and the faculty who work in good faith with administrative officials to establish policies which are equitable, workable and in the best interests of Central State University." The letter goes on to say "The concern of the faculty senate is entirely with the procedure used in the selection process in the College of Education and not with the individual selected." Some senators questioned that CSU may be in violation of the Equal Opportunity Employment Act by not following written procedure. Academic dean selection policy calls for the position to be advertised, a national search conducted, and a committee formed to select the new dean. Sen. Anthony Graybosch, philosophy department representative, proposed that the letter be amended to include a statement that the position be reopened and a nationwide search conducted.

Payroll plan implemented By Alex Eby

Student Writer Staff members and employees of Central State University who work under two different job codes can expect to receive separate paychecks in the future. A procedural change in the processing of state payroll made by the Office of State Finance now requires that employees who were

paid with one paycheck for the performance of two or more jobs be paid separately for each job. "This is the first step that the Office of State Finance is taking to upgrade their payroll system," said Charles Johnson, assistant vice president for administration. "They felt it was a needed change." "From my point of view, I feel

Repairs on building intended to stop leak By William Philpott

Student Writer Preventative waterproofing is almost complete on the north side of the Central State University Communication Building. It is the most recent step in fighting a water seepage problem in the basement, said Director of Physical Plant Nimrod Chapel. Earlier this semester, maintenance : workers installed a

drain in the basement to prevent flooding of the photolab during wet weather. Chapel said basements in Oklahoma are never a sure thing, and problems of this nature are common. In a week the plumbing and landscaping will be finished and the project completed, hopefully ending the seepage problem, Chapel said.

it will be a computer programmer's nightmare," said Philip Arnold, assistant vice president for administration. "The only light at the end of the tunnel that I can see is within one year, this will lead to a better state computer system." Johnson also sees the change as a better way to analyze an institution's payroll, but said that the implementation of the change would not cost more money. "We have to perform maintenance on the computer system all the time. We'll have to analyze and see what needs to be changed and what will interface, but it's really no big deal," Johnson said. The change will affect 70 to 80 staff members, Arnold said. Johnson supported this estimation saying, "We have identified the employees that will be affected and will hopefully get a memo to them in the next few days." "We'll be here if anybody has any questions or does not understand the new system. So far, I think we've handled it well," said

Johnson.

The amendment was defeated, but the letter was approved by a slim margin of 12-9. In related news, Sen. Darrell Gilliland, administration representative, sent Grosz a letter earlier in the week requesting him to write a letter to the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education expressing faculty concerns

as to the "timeliness of the increase in student fees and the allocation of the funds within the state system." Gilliland stated in his letter that the increase in student fees was substantial and was unknown to the majority of students who had pre-enrolled for the fall semester.

Few students pick up mid-term reports By Jett Dempsey

Student Writer Mid-term grade reports are ready, but only a few students have gone to the office of records to pick them up, said Darrell Gilliland, director of admissions and records. Gilliland said that only between 30 to 50 percent of Central State University students go to pick up mid-term reports. "I assume they (the ones who don't) already know where they stand. For the ones who don't, it is very meaningful," said Gilliland. Gilliland said probably the main reason for students wanting to see their mid-term grades is the drop deadline. Friday is the last day a student can withdraw from a class.

Some instructors feel that midterm repoits aren't worth their time. "We go to the trouble of turning them in, and then the students don't even pick them up," said Charles Simmons, journalism instuctor. Simmons said the students were the ones who proposed the idea of mid-term reports. "As long as I've been here, it's always been the same number of students picking them up," said Gilliland. Some students feel the reports don't indicate how they'll perform in classes. "I don't think you can judge the entire semester on the midterm reports when you usually take more tests after that point," said Tony Glover, senior.

Dickey advises prospective doctors By Tim Earley Student Writer Dr. Darrell Dickey of the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation spoke to the Central State University Chemistry Club recently about the differences between doctoral degrees and medical degrees, and issued some advice to students interested in medical school. Dickey holds a doctorate and a medical degree from the University of Texas at Galveston. "Graduate school and medical school are vastly different," Dickey said. There is more flexibility in graduate school in independent study to solve specific problems in specialized areas. In medical school you are ex-

pected to learn broad areas of knowledge without developing expertise in any one area, he said. Dickey said students can expect to be in class eight hours a day the first two years of medical school. During the third and fourth year students may spend one or two hours a day in class and the rest of their time working with patients in a hospital, Dickey said. The average cost of medical school is $15,000 per year, but by the time a person pays off student loans for medical school it will have cost $100,000 in principle and interest, he said. "If you really like to help people, then medicine is a good profession." "If you want to get rich, don't go into medicine. It's too damn

hard. It's too much work. "If you want to make money, be an accountant or be a banker," he said. There are many good medical schools in the United States, but entrance requirements to medical school are tough, he said. "There is a fair amount of insanity involved in the selection process." Dickey said that opportunities to receive an M.D. and Ph.D. are increasing today. There are several new scholarships and grants available to students. He recommended students take fewer science classes as undergraduates. "The science courses are redundant once you enter medical school because you have to learn a lot of it over

Final plans readied for All Saints Party By Tia McElvany Student Writer "See Ya In the Funny Paper" will be the theme at the All Saints Party, at 7 p.m., Oct. 27, at the Baptist Student Union, said David McKinney, BSU associate director. There will be games associated with cartoons and students are encouraged to dress as their favorite cartoon character for a costume contest judged by the audience, said Kimbra Cornett, BSU Fellowship vice president.

"For refreshments we wanted to be creative, so instead of traditional cookies and kool-aid, we're having breakfast cereal. "We thought it was a neat idea since a lot of cartoons have their own cereal," said Cornett. "We're trying to create an atmosphere of joy and positive feelings, rather than the traditional feelings of fear and death that Halloween represents." For closing there will be a short student led devotional, she said.

Frat members work at Halloween house By Larry Smith Student Writer Central State University's chapter of Sigma Phi Sigma, the national fraternity for funeral directors and embalmers, is raising money for their organization and scaring people at the same time. Several members of the organization are volunteering to work at the Z99/Bricktown Haunted House at California and First Streets in Oklahoma City, now through Halloween and donating their pay to the fraternity, said Edna Swogar, president of the chapter. Each year $500 is earmarked for two scholarships of $250 each,

which are given to students who are in the practicum phase of their education. "The money is used to give them some living expenses because they are not paid for working at the funeral home. "This year we are hoping to award three scholarships," said Swogar. Any additional money is put into the general fund and voted on by the members to determine what it is used for. Last year some of the money was used to pay for a trip to the Batesville Casket Company in Indiana. "Ours (haunted house) is to gross people out," said Swogar.

Special ed prof visits England By Shawn Jackson Student Writer Dr. William Van Osdol, professor of special education at Central State University, visited several special education institutions for autistic and mentally handicapped children in England last month. Van Osdol made the trip at his own expense in an effort to improve CSU's special education program. The National Society for Autistic and Mentally Handicapped Children was one of the institutions Van Osdol visited. "From experience of visiting England and comparing their special education institutions to the United States, I feel they are far more advanced than we are in special education," Van Osdol said. "England has some of the better provisional institutions for

kids in the world, compared to the other institutions I have visited," he said. Van Osdol visited Montpellier University in France and Memorial University in New Foundland. Van Osdol also discussed the difference between special education in England and the United States with Tutor David, an officer with the National Society for Handicapped Children in England. Facilities in United States have advanced since 1980, improving the technology and care for autistic and mentally handicapped individuals, he said. Van Osdol met with Terry Jennings, a sponsor for the special education departments in England, to arrange for CSU students and other interested parties to visit England's special education institutions during a trip in March.

CSU students and faculty will be admitted free with a current, validated ID. There is a $3 general admission charge for senior citizens, and students from other universities will be admitted for $2.

Correction In a story that appeared in the Oct. 13 edition of The Vista it was incorrectly reported that Dr. S. Narasinga Rao, assistant professor of physics at Central State University, held a doctorate in philosophy. Rao holds a doctorate of philosophy in biophysics. It was also reported that he was elected as treasurer of the American Crystallographic Association at the associations council meeting Oct. 2. He was elected by mail ballot. The Vista regrets the errors.

Alcohol Awareness Week proves successful at CSU

Few attend Queen dance By Chana Peters Student Writer Lack of student participation at the Central State University Freshman Queen Dance on Oct. 12 upset students said Judy Elwell, sponsor and activities director for the University Center. Elwell said approximately 150 to 200 present during the announcement of the winner. Before and after the announcement Elwell said there were about 75 to 100 people present. "Initially, I was very happy with the turnout but everyone left after the coronation. Midterms, I guess," she said. Students disagree with the number of student turnout. "I assume that there were more or less 50 people taking advantage of the dance," said Ken Hall, freshman. "I only saw between 25 and 50 people present after the coronation. There were fewer than 20 people dancing," said freshman Kathy Keylon.

The 1988-89 Freshman Queen, elected by vote of CSU students, is Amy Karney. Karney was absent from the dance due to illness, Elwell said. The Top 40 Billboard songs were played on a mobil music sound machine by disc jockey Bob , Camp.

Building and the Library. Most of the lecturers were recovering substance abusers who spoke about their personal experience, including Mark Shannon, KJYO disk jockey, and Jim Riley, former Miami Dolphin, Foster said. About 75 people attended the Mark Shannon lecture while only 25 heard Riley speak at the Liberal Arts Auditorium, said Foster. "We need more participation from the teachers, as far as allowing their classes to come (to the activities)," said Medlock, who is a graduate student in communication counseling. "Students use and abuse alcohol widely on college campuses," said Foster. "It has become a problem we can no longer ignore. We need to address this problem and offer some solutions. "We must consider this issue as it relates to the future of our students' lives and the quality of campus life. This issue concerns all aspects of the college community. " she said.

By Rhonda Shalaby Associate Editor National Collegiate Alcohol Awareness Week, which took place Oct. 19-21 on college. campuses all over the United States including Central State University's, was the beginning of chemical dependancy awareness at CSU, according to Billeye Medlock, coordinator of the activities held at CSU. NCAAW was sponsored by the counseling services center on campus in conjunction with the Recovery Center of Edmond Memorial Hospital. "It was very successful," said Peggy Foster, director of counseling and testing service center, "we had better participation this year." This is the second year that NCAAW took place at CSU. The program is much more expanded this year, however, Foster said. Last year it was held for only a day; one literature booth was set up. Several speakers and films were scheduled during this year's event. Information booths, manned by recovering student alcoholics, were also set up in the University

ECHO regional preschool

Campus shorts Ebony Gospel Choir to rehearse

hearing impaired children By Tina Davis Student Writer Enriching Childrens Hearing Opportunities (ECHO) is a program that was started five years ago for hearing impaired children. The ECHO Regional preschool is housed at Central State University's campus. The building is north of the Baptist Student Union and next to Mitchell Hall. The school is run by Melanie Coldren, instructor for the preschool and for speech pathology majors, and Tama Hatch, graduate assistant. Right now three children attend the preschool. They are 3, 4 and 5-years-old, and come from Edmond and Gutherie. She visits each child in his home weekly. "Most school districts don't have enough (children) to justify the expense of having the pro-

gram," said Coldren, so children from various different school districts attend the regional preschool on campus. Coldren added that ECHO is better for the kids because they are not isolated at the preschool. The preschool is "here to foster the development of speech and language and communication skills," Coldren said. "We gear the program more toward the individual child," said Coldren. Some of the children learn to speak, and others just learn to vocalize, she said. The program uses total cornmunication. This means that every method possible is used in combination to teach the children. Speech, signs, gestures and auditory training are some of the methods used to teach, Coldren said. She added that 93% of what is understood is non-verbal.

Program hosted for talented kids By Carol Hill Student Writer The center for Economic Education in the Liberal Arts Building, is hosting enrichment programs for gifted and talented students from central Oklahoma high schools Oct. 27 and Nov. 17, said Jean Caldwell, director of the center for economic education. There will be two daily sessions, one at 9:3Q a.m. in the University Center Counsel room, and one at 12:30 p.m. in the reading lab in Old North. During the morning session Caldwell will speak about

how the government tries to keep a stable economy. In the afternoon session the students will play a computer game called "Ups and Downs" in which teams will be formed. Each team will be given a business to run, and will have to manage their company and solve problems according to information about a mock economy that is given to them, Caldwell said. High schools in Oklahoma are required to provide gifted and talented students with enrichment experiences, she said. . The center is planning several such programs for the spring, she said.

Debate team earned four tourney awards By Tina Davis Student Writer The Central State University debate team returned Oct. 9 from its third tournament this semester with four awards. Twenty schools participated in the tournament that was held at the University of Missouri, St. Louis. There were 60 debate teams. Sandy Carrol, a senior from Edmond, and Ronnie Wilson, a junior from Guymon, received second place in the Cross Examination Debate Association (Ceda) debate. They debated the effects

of stronger third parties in the presidential election on -the political process, and were 5-1 in the preliminary rounds. In the quarter finals, Carol and Wilson beat MacAlester College, St. Paul, Minn. In the semifinals the CSU team defeated Southern Illinois University, Carbondale. They lost to MacAlester College in the finals. Outstanding speaker awards went to Carrol, second speaker; Charles Mallard, a junior from Guymon, third speaker; and Mark Rowe, a junior from Oklahoma City, fifth speaker.

The Ebony Gospel Choir will hold rehearsals at 6:30 p.m. every Wednesday in the University Center Creek Room. For more information contact Dr. William Roberts, extension 2438.

Scholarship applications available

Some of the children are eventually mainstreamed, others move on to different program within the public school system. The preschool is being paid for through CSU this year. Starting next year, however, the school will have to find other sources of funding, said Coldren. The program is free. The school districts provide transportation to the preschool.

Scholarship applications from agencies and clubs throughout the nation are available at the Financial Aids Office in the Administration Building.

Job Line developed By Gia Walker Student Writer Central State University has developed a 24-hour service to assist students as well as the general public in finding a job. The Campus Job Line consists of a pre-recorded message which is programed through the telephone mail system. It gives information on salaries, testing requirements, closing dates for applying for the available jobs, and any other related specifics, said Kayla Davis, assistant director of personnel at Campus Job Line. Most of the job openings are CSU initiated positions and preference is given to people who are already employees of CSU who may want to upgrade their position or just move to another department. The three minute-message is updated once a week and has both full and part-time positons, the jobs listed are for CSU employees as well as the general public. The recording lists general openings first, followed by inhouse positions for CSU employees only. To call Campus Job Line, one should dial the university telephone number, 341-2980, then extension 3089. Between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. the caller can be transferred to the personnel office by dialing zero and then the pound sign after the recording has been heard. "The Campus Job Line makes job openings more accessible to the public," said Davis. Most of the jobs listed on the job line can be applied for through the mail, except for those requiring typing or similar skills tests. Davis said that the job line is working because she has noticed less calls at the personnel office. She also said her office is open to suggestions on how to make Campus Job Line more effective.

Sports

Bronchos win finally; 19-11 Behind two short touchdown runs by quarterback Zane Burgess and a defense that collected eight turnovers, the Central State Bronchos finally got into the win column with a 19-11 upset victory over Angelo State last Saturday in San Angelo, Texas. The win gives CSU (1-3 in conference play, 1-5 overall) its first official win as a member of the Lone Star Conference. The loss was ASU first in conference play (3-1) this year and are now 4-3 overall. The Broncho defense was the story of the game as they limited the Rams to only seven yards rushing and recovered four fumbles. ASU did throw for 299 yards, but four interceptions by the CSU secondary ended three scoring drives while the fourth ended the Rams last chance efforts in the waning seconds of the game. CSU got on the board first when the Rams fumbled a Wayne Potts' punt at their own 13-yard line late in the first quarter. It took the Bronchos only three plays to score as Burgess took it in from two yards out. Kelly Nasworthy's point-after was good and CSU led 7-0. The defenses took over for the rest of the half as the only points scored were a safety by CSU after the Rams muffed a punt attempt near their own end zone. ASU got on the scoreboard late in the half on a 28-yard field goal by Bryan Thompson that cut the Bronchos' lead to 9-3 going into the dressing rooms. CSU came out in the third quarter and immediately drove 85

yards in 15 plays to take a 16-3 lead. From the two-yard line, Burgess got the call again as he optioned right and with a second effort got over for the score. Nasworthy again added the pointafter and the Bronchos were in command with 6:41 left in the period. The Bronchos added a 30-yard Nasworthy field goal in the fourth quarter to up their lead to 19-3 before the Rams were finally able to get into the end zone with 1:45 left in the game. But too little too late as ASU's onside attempt went out of bounds, and following a CSU punt the Rams last ditch effort was a pass intercepted by Broncho safety Robert Gordon that ended the game.

S ikers lose to East Texas in three By Mark Finley

Sports Editor The Central State volleyball team fell behind early and never caught up as East Texas State breezed past the Lady Bronchos Wednesday at Broncho Fieldhouse in three games by scores of 15-3, 15-6 and 15-3. Led by senior All-American candidate Alice Fortes' net play and the serving of sophomore Melanie Rea, East Texas jumped out to an 8-0 lead in the first game before CSU got their hands on the ball to serve. The Lady Bronchos never was in the game losing 15-3. That was pretty much the story of the match as the Lady Bronchos continually dug a hole for themselves from which they were

never to recover. The second game saw CSU fall behind 6-1 before they made their move, but East Texas slammed the door shut when with the score at 7-3 they pulled away and did not allow the Lady Bronchos back in winning the game 15-6. The third game was never in doubt as East Texas quickly jumped out to a 12-1 lead before finally winning the game and the match 15-3. "They were just physically superior than us and that was probably the big difference," said CSU head coach Joe Curl, referring to East Texas' athletic

"But we've beaten both Cameron and SNU and this would be a big lift for our program to win district in only our second year of play even though there our only three teams in it." CSU continues their home stand with conference matches on Friday against Angelo State at 7 p.m., and against Abilene Christian at 6 p.m. Saturday. Both matches will be played at Broncho Fieldhouse.

capabilities. "We made way too many mistakes, and frankly we just did not compete today like an athlete should," said Curl. CSU begins District Nine play on Monday with Cameron and Southern Nazarene the only schools fielding teams in volleyball and Curl believes his team has a shot at the title. "We didn't play well today, that's pretty obvious," said Curl.

RESERVE OFFICERS' TRAINING CORPS

Alumni golf tournament scheduled The Central State baseball team will hold an alumni scramble golf tournament at Edmond's Kickingbird Golf Course Friday, according to head baseball coach Bobby Hunt. The tournament begins at 12:30 p.m. and will continue until 6 p.m., and will be followed by a hospitality at the Edmond Sheraton starting at 6:30. On Saturday, there will be an alumni baseball game with play starting at 10 a.m. and lasting until around noon. "We are going to play the game, and then go over and watch the Bronchos beat West Texas," said Hunt, referring to the CSU football game to be played that afternoon. All those interested should contact either Hunt at campus extension 2506, or Wendell Simmons at Edmond High School.

Bronchos need more home support good year for the Bronchos, but By Mark Finley they are a very inexperienced team Sports Editor The Central State football team trying to compete on a higher level plays at home this Saturday, and (NCAA Div. II) after playing in I'm just wondering how many the NAIA for so many years. people will be in the stands rooting for the home team this Commentary time. Attendance at CSU games this year is downright disgusting. In It will take a little time for CSU the two games played so far at to adjust to the ways of the home, a total of 2,769 people have NCAA such as recruiting, come through the turnstiles. Now, scheduling and so forth. But, I realize that this has not been a head coach Gary Howard and his

staff are top notch as Howard's 72-42-4 will attest. Included in that record is a national championship back in 1982, along with a national runner-up finish in 1979 plus two quarter-final appearences in 1983 and again in 1985. The Bronchos have some exciting players in their line-up, and have come up with some outstanding plays this year to keep themselves in a few ball games,

especially in their two home games. In the Bronchos loss to East Texas, they were in the ball game until a penalty in the fourth quarter sparked ETSU to a 14-point win. CSU, however, came up with two of the most exciting plays I've seen this year on any level. The first play was a 58-yard interception return by free safety Robert Gordon that set up an ear-

ly touchdown, and the other was an 81-yard pass play from quarterback Ben Morrison to split end Terrance Jones. In CSU's last home game, the Bronchos were involved in a seesaw battle with. Abilene Christian before losing 24-23. There were plenty of highlights in this game too. Pinkey Hurley's 46-yard touchdown catch from quarterback Zane Burgess, and Jerry . Johnson's catch from Burgess in between two defenders (Johnson stands only 5' 3") that set up a goahead touchdown were just two of the big plays. Of all these plays, everyone mentioned are all underclassmen. This means that all of these players will be back next year and some of them will be here for two more years. After this year, CSU should have a good football team, but like most things it takes a little time. When you think that they have made the move to the NCAA and the Lone Star Conference, which has probably won more national football championships than any other conference on any level, you have to have some patience. But, that doesn't mean you still can't go out and support your team. This week's game should be an entertaining one as West Texas State comes to visit. The Buffaloes average 31 points per game on offense, but give up over 45 points per game on defense. So, it should be a high scoring affair with the last team to score probably coming out the winner. CSU's last game at home will be against in-state rival Cameron. With both schools being members in the same conference, this game will eventually become the big game on both team's schedule every year no matter what the won-loss records are. So, lets get out these next two weeks and support the Bronchos. Win or lose, both games promise to be very exciting.

Vann shines in victory over Angelo By Kent Blessing

All-American for CSU in the early 1960's, and older brother Bruce played played football from 1980-83. Another older brother, Brandy, is playing minor league baseball in the California Angels' organization and the youngest of the four Vann brothers is playing at Put-

Guest Writer Prior to Central State's stunning 19-11 victory over Angelo State last Saturday, tailback Brento Vann didn't seem to know quite where he fit in. And, when looking at the circumstances surrounding his doubt, it's easy to understand why Vann was confused. The 5-10, 205-pound junior had carried the ball only 22 times for 110 yards in the first six games of this season and wasn't even listed in the football media guide. But after rushing for 111 yards on 25 carries in the Bronchos' first win of the season, things have seemed to clear up a little. "I feel pretty good," Vann said. "I haven't run like that, full out, since two-a-days. My line was firing off the ball and that's who I give the credit to." The junior's performance was his first extensive action and was made possible due to starting tailback Pinkey Hurley's injury early in the second quarter against Angelo State. "I wasn't getting a lot of playing time, so I just didn't really know how I would perform if I ever did," said Vann, who will probably start for the injured Hurley Saturday against West Texas State. "Now I know where I stand." And so do the Bronchos. Vann's clutch performance, the

nam City. "I'm right in the middle," Vann said. Another common brother trait is first names. All the boys names begin with a '13', but Brento is a nickname that he adopted and kept. Brene is his real name. "Well, it's a long story," Vann

said. "My real name is Brene, and, well, 1 was kind of given the name Brento when I was younger. And yes, I prefer Brento to Brene." After last Saturday's performance, his teammates would be glad to call him anything he wanted them to.

Brento Vann

best by a CSU running back since 1986, included a second half where he rushed for 80 yards. He had 57 yards in seven carries during what turned out to be the clinching score in a third-quarter 15-play, 85-yard touchdown drive. Vann originally signed out of high school with CSU, but decided that after a sparkling career at Putnam City, he wanted a change. So, he packed up and headed to Pasadena City College in Pasadena, Calif., where he played for two years before returning to the Bronchos this year. "I originally_signed with CSU, but decided I wanted to get away for awhile," said Vann. As tradition would have it, though, Brento became the third member of the Vann family to become a Broncho. His father, Bryce, was a two-time basketball

GOP official says democrats defecting By Jerry Pierce

Student Writer This year could be a turning point for the Republican party in Oklahoma because voters are defecting from the Democratic Party, said Larry Stein, Oklahoma Republican Party representative, Monday night in the Liberal Arts Building Auditorium. Stein is one of 14 speakers who are lecturing at the annual, weeklong Jack Strain Memorial

Political Science Workshop. "Nine out of the last ten presidential elections in Oklahoma have gone republican. We believe we're on the verge of seeing a real realignment in Oklahoma," said Stein. "We've doubled the Republican Party registration in the last eight years. People are not afraid to vote for a republican." Referring to the conservatism of many Oklahoma Democrats,

Baby

Faculty

Continued from page 1 police and the medical examiner's office, he said. The baby sustained two broken collarbones, a broken right tibia, a swollen brain and a skull fracture, according to medical examiner records. He also suffered from a low body temperature of 84 degrees, according to CSU police Sgt. Ed Forbes. CSU police confiscated a refrigerator out of the apartment so tests could be run to see if the child had been placed inside it. The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation has not released the results of those tests. The baby's parents are identified as Wilbert, 24, and Diana

Marie Carter, 19. The father is a student at CSU. Roberts said the father was still attending classes as of a few weeks ago. The child's parents are living in the Oklahoma City area. The mother has refused to talk to police on the advice of her attorney, Roberts said. Police have questioned the child's father. He also submitted to a lie detector test. Results of that test are unavailable. A reward of up to $5,000 is being offered by Edmond Crime Stoppers for information leading to the arrest and conviction of whoever is responsible for the infant's death.

Regents Continued from page 1 Gilliand, director of admissions and records at CSU. Gilliand feels that the change is good because the slow phasing-in period will allow high school students to become better prepared. A public hearing will be held on changes in student fees and tuition in the State Regents' Conference Room at the Hodge Building of the State Capital Complex 10 a.m. Wednesday, Nov. 9 and at 11 a.m. the same day the regents will discuss student admission standards. CSU could benefit from the updated revised campus master plan and capital improvement that was approved by the regents at the

meeting. The plan involves $1 billion set aside for construction, renovation and equipment and is an effort to create a more systematic way to allocate money based on need and space utilization. The next step is to prioritize the universities, which will take a lot of time, said Edney. The regents also passed the principles and procedures for an endowment chair fund which would bring the finest minds in America to Oklahoma campuses. Any university is eligible to participate by matching the funds provided by the regents with private donations. The endowment fund is set up to provide money for artists-in-residence and lecturers, Edney said.

Groups Continued from page 1 quirements of it. "We had an executive meeting to determine which parts (of the act) apply," Jeske said. "Our sponsor has indicated she will make sure it (the notice of meetings) gets filed." Jeske was unsure whether RHA would file with the county clerk, but did say they would file with the secretary of state. RHA has been posting agendas in accordance with the Act since the article appeared. Jeff Shilling, parlimentarian for CSU Student Senate, said a concern was raised in May whether the senate needed to comply with the Act. Shilling said in a memo to all student association officials, dated Aug. 22, that it was his opinion CSU's student senate needed to comply with the the Act by posting agendas. However it was not until this week that Shilling was advised by Assistant Attorney General Scot Fern the senate also should file notices of meetings, Shilling said. The senate started posting agendas this fall. Fern said he advised Shilling to file with both the secretary of state and the Oklahoma county clerk, since it was a gray area in the law on whom they should file with.

"They are an entity of the state and should file and follow the Open Meetings Act," Fern said. Fern said enforcement is the weakest aspect of the Act. A person who has legal standing, such as a student, has two remedies available to him. One is go to the administration and express his concerns, the other is to go to the Oklahoma County District Attorney and have all actions of the group in question recended. Shilling said in his opinion it was questionable if the senate is mandated by state law to follow the Act, because it is unclear if they use state appropriated dollars and are housed in a state owned building. The senate does use student activities fees. "I am working on a policy in regards to our compliance with the Open Meetings Act," Shilling said. It is the intention of the senate to file, but they do not know which agency they will file with yet. Darlene Adams, records clerk for the secretary of state, said as of Wednesday no one from CSU had filed with her office. Sue Calvert, an Oklahoma County Court Clerk secretary, said no entity of CSU had filed with there either.

Continued from page 3. He also said in his letter that CSU received an inequitable share of the new state appropriated money to be distributed within higher education. During the summer, the State Regents raised tuition at state colleges and universities. The Regents also allocated a disproportionately large amount

of state appropriated money to Oklahoma State University and the University of Oklahoma. A proposed resolution included with the letter says "....the in- . dividual budgetary requirements of all institutions be considered in light of the student population each serves, and that the fiscal health of one institution not be at the expense of or sacrificial on the

part of sister institutions." The faculty senate will consider this resolution during the Nov. 10 meeting. Dr. Tom Guild, Liberal Arts College representative, and Paul Parent, Education College representative, were sworn in as new senators. They will each serve a two year term.
