Reagan defends arms policy at Don Nickles political rally By Kim Voynar Associate Editor Thousands of people lined up outside the Lloyd Noble Center last Friday to see President Reagan, who was in town to support Don Nickles, Republican candidate for senator. Young and old alike waited for hours as purses, camera cases and bags were searched and the slowmoving line passed through metal detectors to insure security.' A group of protesters chanted and waved signs in front of the arena, urging the Reagan Administration to "Disarm or Die." One protester, carrying an American flag emblazoned with a peace symbol, found himself in the midst of a brawl with a group of bystanders. The events inside the arena were
somewhat reminiscent of a high school pep rally. The OU Marching Band played several rousing tunes, then got into a "drum battle" with the three high school bands present. Eventually, the audience grew tired of the preliminary entertainment and began a chanting contest, with one side of the arena shouting "Nickles" while the other chanted "Reagan." Finally Reagan appeared, smiling and waving charismatically to the wildly cheering crowd. "Mr. President, I think it's obvious you have a lot of friends in Oklahoma," said Nickles, "and I believe very strongly that we want you to run again in '88." At this, the crowd began a rousing chant of "four more years", to which the president smiled in

acknowledgement. "Regarding four more years, I think the Constitution has something to say about that," Reagan said. "But I'll settle for two more years with a Republican senate." After praising Nickles for his work in the Senate and saying an encouraging word for Henry Bellmon, Republican gubernatorial candidate, Reagan spoke about the achievements of his administration. Reagan said the administration is determined to stand by the farmers, pointing out Nickles contributions in this area. He also discussed the Administration's efforts to reduce taxes, mentioning that Nickles has pledged to oppose any effort to increase tax rates. Regarding the protestors inside the arena, Reagan said there is a great misunderstanding about nuclear arms. He said the administration is working for the day when nuclear weapons can be reduced. "...when we are able, for the first time, to reduce the number of nuclear weapons threatening mankind, it will be as a result of...individuals like Don Nickles," Reagan said. Reagan concluded his speech with another push for the Republican party. Before he left the stage, however, he noticed a group of members from Tau Kappa Epsilon, the fraternity with which he was associated in college. They were holding signs which said "Tau Kappa Epsilon Welcomes Frater Reagan." "Thanks, Fraters," Reagan said with a smile before he turned and walked off the stage.
By Shannon Blockcolski Editor A resolution calling for the CSU Student Association to conduct a book fair was submitted by Senators Bill Smith and Kristi Saul to the Student Senate Monday. The resolution said the CSU library is currently disposing several thousand volumes from its collection. In recent history, the resolution continued, an entire lot of discarded books was purchased for a few dollars and used as landfill in a cow pasture. "The student body would benefit greatly from the knowledge contained in these discarded books, if a low-cost method could be determined to make them available to the students," Smith and Saul wrote. The resolution requests the executive council of the Student Association submit a sealed bid, through the appropriate channels, to purchase the withdrawn books. These books would then be sold at a Student Association Book Fair, according to the resolution. Another resolution requesting the Student Association donate $90 for CSU's 96th Birthday Party was voted down by the Senate. Authored by Student Association Student Activities Chairperson Kim Voynar, the resolution said the donated funds would be used in purchasing 20 T-shirts to be given away as prizes during the birthday party. The funds for the donation
would have been taken from the Student Association President's Contingency Fund, the resolution stated. Jeff Shilling, Student Association president, said the contingency fund was for special expenditures and emergencies only. "The donation should be taken from the student activity fund," Shilling said. After debate, the resolution was voted down by a majority of the student senators. "I don't feel the members of the Student Association are cheerleaders for the student body," said Spencer Weyerman, Student Association deputy speaker. In other business, a resolution proposing a plaque be awarded and a special day established to honor KLTE radio station for broadcasting from the blue trash cans recently placed on Broadway Extension. Nelaine Greenwalt, Student Association speaker of the house and author of the resolution, wrote, "These trash cans provided little to no significant service ... the said trash cans along the Broadway Extension were an insult to the propriety of commuting students ... whereas blue is one of the noble colors of CSU and it is disrespectful to color an empty and useless trash can the same sacred color that represents the pride of a University." The resolution was sent to committee for recommendation.
