Regent retirement policy supported by law, cases By J. Money
Oklahoma Attorney General Robert H. Henry released a legal opinion Oct. 20 declaring the Board of Regents of Oklahoma Colleges a constitutional board that may make policies regafding the payment and benefits given to its employees free from legislative interference. The ruling was asked for by the regents who had attempted to authorize the additional contribution of funds as a retirement incentive to retiring educators and staff members of institutions under the board's control. Under the Omnibus law passed by the legislature prior to their adjournment, the retirement system and the special window of added benefits for those who wish to retire between July 1, 1987 and Jan. 1, 1988, sets up the following requirements: 1) The staff member must be an active member of the Oklahoma Teachers' Retirement System who chooses to avail himself of enhanced retirement benefits by retiring between July 1, 1987 and Jan. 1, 1988. 2) 1981 state law provides that contributions to the OTRS are made by individual members. The law also points out, however, that
an individual member's employer may pay all or part of the employee's contribution to the system if it desires. 3) Members may pay an additional contribution to the OTRS before retiring, in order to receive a larger pension fund. The law says specifically that any member of the OTRS who retires between July 1, 1987, and Jan. 1, 1988, will receive for life an amount equal to approximately two percent of his or her average yearly salary, multiplied by the number of years service completed. 4) Employees who wish to take advantage of the pension, however, are required under the law to pay to the system an additional contribution equal to 30 percent of the difference between the member's average yearly salary, taken from three consecutive years during the last five of service, or $40,000, whichever is less. When members of the OTRS under the control of the board of regents applied for retirement during the advantageous window, July 1, 1987 and Jan. 1, 1988, the regents authorized the schools under its control to pay the additional contributions to the OTRS
Services held Monday for president's mother From Staff Reports
Mrs. A.M. Georgia Odom, 84, Oklahoma City, mother of CSU President Bill Lillard, died Saturday, Oct. 31, at Lackey Manor Nursing Home. Born Aug. 13, 1903, in Altus, Ark., she had been a resident of Oklahoma City since 1947, and at the time of her death was a resident of Superbia Retirement Village.
A homemaker, she was a member of the First Methodist Church of Oklahoma City and Sorosis Club. She was preceeded in death by her husband, A.M. "Mutt" Odom, 1978; a son, Gene Lillard, 1973, and a granddaughter, Louise Lillard, 1974. Services were held 2 p.m. Monday. Memorials may be made to a favorite charity.
Higher education budget finalized by state regents From Staff Reports
Students at CSU and other schools around the state may face more tuition hikes. The Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education approved a $850.6 million budget to cover the needs of the State System for Higher Education for fiscal 1988-89. The final budget projections, approved Oct. 28 by the regents,. would bring Oklahoma colleges and universities closer to the regional average of other institutions. The Regents' plan establishes an incremental increase each year in state-appropriated funds and revolving fund income so full-funding will occur in 1991-92. The projection for 1988-89 shows an expected increase of $75 million over the current budget, $55 million from state funds and $20 million from student tuition and fees and other revolving funds. The resulting shortfall would be $277 million, according to a Regents' press release.
on behalf of the member. Keith Allen, Board of Regents of Oklahoma Colleges executive secretary, said when the regents filed claims on an individual basis for the payment of those funds, however, a dispute was raised by Dr. Alexander Holmes, director of the State Finance Office. Holmes said he interpreted that the state law mandating the additional contributions did not entitle the board to authorize payment of funds on behalf of retiring individuals. When Holmes rejected the claims, the regents asked for the attorney general's ruling. The attorney general's ruling gave the regents the authority to authorize the additional payments on behalf of members under their control, citing the Oklahoma Constitution and several state laws as support. The attorney general held in his opinion that part of the power to govern includes the setting of salary schedules and compensations paid to employees, including the additional contribution to the OTRS fund.

400 expected at issues conference The 25th CSU-sponsored Critical Issues Conference will be at 8 a.m., Nov. 4, in the Ballroom of the University Center. The conference is co-sponsored by the Oklahoma Commission on Educational Administration, Inc. "It is an effort to speak in one voice about education," said Dr. Kenneth Elsner, dean of the College of Education. "We feel very fortunate that CSU has played the role of hosting the conference." "The thrust of the conference each year is to identify common problems facing education in Oklahoma and to bring in recognized leaders in those areas," Elsner said. Conference speakers include Alfred Tutela, Cleveland Ohio superintendent of schools, whose topic is the Scholarship in Escrow program. The program pays
students for making good grades in an effort to solve the drop-out problem in the Cleveland school system. The payment is in the form of an escrow account to be used following graduation for college or job training. "Even people from an impoverished background can earn enough in high school to go to college," Elsner said. "The program is funded entirely through private donations." Speaking on the topic "The Nitty Gritty of School Improvement at the Building Level," will be Jim Monasmith, principle of Coleville High School, Coville, Wash. Susan Forte, the Christa McAuliffe Ambassador for Education, Pensacola, Fla., NASA Teacher in Space Program, will speak on preparing
students for the future. "She will discuss the needed curriculum in schools to prepare people for the next 20 years, the space age generation," Elsner said. "It is appropriate," Elsner continued, "that we have our own Statesman-in-Residence, former Gov. George Nigh, who will be making comments during the luncheon." Because of the program and problems being addressed this year, Elsner said he expects a larger than usual attendance. "We expect about 400 superintendents, principles and business leaders from around the state," he said. Program registration will begin at 8 a.m. with the general session beginning at 9 a.m. Adjournment will be at 2:30 p.m.
CSU intercollegiate members mentioned By Elaine Coleman
Three Central State University students were honored at the second session of the 19th Legislature of the Oklahoma Intercollegiate Legislature for presenting the Best Piece of House Legislation. Lee Allen, Jerry Blansett and Joe Stehr were on the committee that presented a resolution supporting the dispensing of condoms at state universities during the mock legislative session, Oct. 21-25, at the Oklahoma State Capitol.
The resolution was chosen because of the high quality of debate it drew. It proposed that the OIL governor, CSU student J. Paul Gumm, write a letter to the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education expressing OIL support of dispensation of condoms to students at all Oklahoma institutions of higher education. The resolution also specified that the condoms be dispensed without parental consent and at no profit to the institution or medical facility. Students would be required to pay for the condoms.
The OIL resolution passed the house and will now become part of the final package of legislation that was passed by the 19th Legislature. The package will be presented to Gov. Bellmon and other elected state officials for their consideration. Delegates from all major Oklahoma universities attended the OIL. Conducted on the floors of the state House of Representatives and Senate, the mock sessions allow collegiate legislators to learn proper parliamentary procedure and legal law-making.

Non-alcohol proposal unnecessary By Kim Earnest The Oklahoma City Council has proposed an ordinance which would prohibit serving alcohol, including beer, in establishments which feature nude dancing. These establishments would have the option to continue featuring dancers but the ordinance would require them to wear underpants and pasties.
does not include the yearly county, state and federal fees which do not apply to alcohol. I am appalled to think that city councilmen have nothing better to do with their time than to labor over the topic of morals, in a city facing a severe economic crunch. By indirectly forcing these clubs out of business the
fewer taxes will be received by the city, county, and state. With these revenues lost who will make up the difference? One guess; the taxpayer. Besides, it frightens me to think that the city council could have the power to judge the morality of others. In a time where many government officials have been in the spotlight regarding
their personal morality, it seems the city would take heed and face the pertinent issues of the times. Why does the Oklahoma City Council worry about such minor matters as whether or not strip clubs can serve alcohol, instead of major problems, such as Oklahoma's extremely high teenage pregnancy rate?
Commentary It would be a thoughtful gesture if the councilmen proposed this ordinance out of concern for the dancers, of which the majority in Oklahoma City, are female. Could it be that the councilmen were concerned for the safety of the females dancing nude in front of drunken customers? I doubt this thought crossed their minds. It appears to me this is just a deceptive way to once again attempt a ban on nude dancing in Oklahoma City. The club owners may not be able to pay their overhead costs by serving milk and cookies. In a state that was 20 years behind many other states in ratifying liquorby-the-drink, it is a sad occasion to think that the city council could have the righteous power to determine conduct of an establishment where liquor can be served. The laws regarding liquor by the drink in Oklahoma are extremely stringent and expensive as they stand right now. Initial federal, state, county and employee liquor licenses must be obtained and thereafter renewed yearly, along with the court filing fees. A state license to serve liquor is $1000 initially, and $900 yearly thereafter. This

Editor sweats out end of season By Mary Butler Well, it's over. The Twins are champions and there's no more baseball.
Commentary Sure game seven was nice. It was packed full of drama and emotion and baseball that ranks among the best ever played. The miracle Cards came up just a little short while the magical Twins pulled off a 150-1 near-impossibility.
Not only were the games good, playoffs and series included, but even the commercials were memorable. Remember the Reardon vs. McGwire bit. "To be continued . . ." Unfortunately, somewhere in the aftermath the two tons of confetti, the 50,000 rotting Twinkies in St. Louis and the new package of Wheaties, baseball fans are mourning. The season is over. It seems unfair. We faithfully sit through almost two hundred games. We toil through our favorite teams heartaches. We survive all sorts of
obstacles throughout the season; stupid trades, retirements, hirings and firings. And for what?. Suddenly our lives are shattered. On one cold October afternoon, our lives are swept out from under us. Sure the pretzels are good. And the hot dogs can't be beat. But the withdrawal is so painful. That's it. I'll give it up. No more baseball. Why, I have basketball, hockey and OU football to turn to. On second thought, there's only about 150 days until opening day '88. I think I'll just sweat it out.
Prof urges United Fund donations To the editor:
The faculty and staff of CSU are being asked this year to contribute to the United Fund of the Oklahoma City area. Many of the students who work in the Oklahoma City area will likewise be solicited to contribute. Edmond citizens do and have benefited from many of the services that are offered by the agencies that are supported by this funding drive.
No helping agency in Edmond is included on the list of agencies wich benefit from the United Fund, but one local agency, The Edmond Association for Retarded Citizens, (EARC), can receive contributions if the donor designates this agency on his/her check. As a member of the Board of directors of that organization, I urge my colleagues here at CSU to so designate
if they make a contribution to the United Fund. The EARC locally supports two group homes and a worktraining facility for the mentally retarded. We have plans to add a third care facility in the near future. I will help to see that any funds received are used best for the purpose intended. Warren Smith

News: World, state and local Ginsburg's stock raises questions A administration official said Supreme Court nominee Douglas H. Ginsburg may have been influenced in a Justice Department effort to extend First Amendment protection to cable companies. The source, who asked to remain anonymous, said Ginsburg had nearly $14,000 invested in a cable television corporation when he was involved with the Justice Department campaign. Officials say Ginsburg did not violate criminal conflict of interest laws because the company he has investments in was not directly involved in the case. Ginsburg was nominated by President Reagan to succeed Justice Lewis Powell after the nomination of Robert H. Bork was rejected by the U.S. Senate.
Reagan to consider tax increases The Reagan administration may consider supporting a tax increase if Congress agrees to spending cuts for the next two years, Sen. Pete Domenici, ranking Republican on the Senate Budget Committee, said Sunday. Domenici said the cuts the administration supports will be in programs such as farm support and Medicare. President Reagan Saturday during his weekly radio address that Congress must join him in a long-term effort to balance the budget Saturday. "When we cut spending, it must stay cut," Reagan said. Domenici said the budget committee has made progress in negotiating the more than $23 billion cuts required by the Gramm-Rudman law.
Tutu asks for anti-apartheid unity South African Archbishop Desmond Tutu led a prayer for peace service Sunday in Edendale, a district where factional fighting has increased between the Inkathas and the United Democratic Front. Tutu said the only way for South African blacks to be free is to stop fighting. "The enemy that stands in the way of our liberation is apartheid and that system is destined to fail," Tutu said. The Inkatha Zulu political organization, one of the warring factions, boycotted the service. Both it and the United Democratic Front oppose apartheid, but they believe in different policies and tactics. After the service, police units descended on the crowd as it was leaving the meeting hall.
Arms treaty near completion A U.S.-Soviet treaty on intermediate-range nuclear missiles is 98 percent complete, national security advisor Frank C. Carlucci said Sunday. However, Sen. Alan Cranston, D-Calif., said the pact may not be ratified if Republicans attach amendments to the treaty dealing with the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan. Carlucci said the treaty had been carefully worked out, with the most intrusive verification provisions in the history of arms control.
U.S. violent crime rate declines Incidents of violent crime in America declined from 1981 to 1985 despite an increase in the rate of violence among relatives, the Justice Department Bureau of Justice Statistics reported Sunday. Of the violent crimes by strangers, 37 percent involved weapons in 1985 compared to 42 percent in 1973. The report said the amount of unsolicited violence in crimes by strangers declined since the mid-1970's. The bureau conducted semiannual interviews with 128,000 people 12 years of age and older. The department said it is difficult to measure gratuitous violence when the victim does not resist but is injured anyway.
Judge insulted by sentencing law A new Oklahoma law requiring courts to delay sentencing for some young felony offenders is "insulting to judges," according to Tulsa Presiding District Judge Clifford Hopper. "I resent the legislature telling the judiciary what it can and cannot do," Hopper said. Effective Sunday, the law says state judges shall delay sentencing up to 120 days for defendants ages 18 to 21 guilty of certain crimes. The law stated participating offenders will be evaluated by Department of Corrections officials to offer the best opportunity for rehabilitation. The law states defendents who have two or more prior felonies or have been convicted of a specific violent crime or sex offense will not be included in the program.
Readers' forum
Budget change called for By Kevin Hunter Guest Columnist
Okay, so I've done my homework on athletics at CSU and a couple of other universities around the state. I will depart from my usual satirical view, for I found nothing humorous about the facts and figures I saw. The proposed budget for the Health, Physical Education and Recreation Department at CSU for the 1987-88 school year is $1,000,083, up $106,082 from the 1986-87 budget. Of that amount, $855,577 is salaries. Student wages are $12,978, supplies and materials are $10,000 and other current expenses are $147,682. In addition to money from the general budget, athletics at CSU will receive $625,762 from the campus activity fund. The student activity fees make up 89.3 percent of the campus activity fund.
Athletes benefit from student fees In the 1986-87 school year, income from activities related to instruction and miscellaneous activities totaled $65,542, while income from athletics totaled only $15,500. It would appear, looking at the monetary totals, that nonathletic activities are more than four times as profitable as athletic activities at CSU. Out of $359,420 in scholarships paid for by student activity fees, only $32,000 are non-athletic ($16,000 are for drama students and $16,000 for debate students). In a Faculty Senate proposal dated Dec. 6, 1984, it is stated that 74.2 percent of student activity fees benefit only 3 percent of the student body. In school year 1986-87, student activity fees at Oklahoma University contributed no money to athletics and no money for scholarships. Oklahoma State University's student activity fees paid for $307,000 for athletic tickets and events and no money for scholarships. CSU students paid for $316,640 for athletic tickets and events, and $359,420 worth of scholarships.
Students forced to pay for sports? It is obvious to me the vast majority of the student body does
not benefit from student activity funds. It also is obvious that CSU students are annually forced to contribute more money to athletic tickets and events and scholarships than any other college or university in the state of Oklahoma through student activity fees. In a student survey sponsored by the CSU Student Association in the spring 1987 semester, 55.4 percent of students polled indicated that less money should go to athletics, while 58.9 percent indicated that more money should go to campus activities related to instruction. It is obvious that the wishes of the majority of students are being ignored. In an article by Randy Ellis in the May 5 issue of The Daily Oklahoman, the executive council of the American Association of University Professors concluded that through student activity fees, students working to pay their own way through college are being forced to pay the way for other students. The Ellis article said, "Investigation may show that the activity assessment students pay is the biggest single source of scarce full scholarships. If this practice is actually legal, we hope the Legislature will seriously consider making it illegal." On an interesting note, the article also said, "...a discretionary account controlled by the college president may get a larger share than the student senate." Currently, the CSU Student Senate only controls $12,000 out of the $975,000 that composes the campus activity fund. In a report entitled "Special Investigation of Educational Institutions from the Office of the State Auditor for the State of Oklahoma," it is stated, "Student activity fee collections that are for use in supporting student activities related to the general education program of the institutions were used to pay full scholarships including room and board for college and university athletes. This interpretation of the use of student activity fees to sup-

port student activities related to the general education program should be uniformly addressed at all institutions. If the use of student activity fees to pay athletic scholarships is determined to be appropriate, it should be disclosed to the students who are required to pay these fees as a part of the cost of their education."
Organizations need fees money Last year, OU student organizations received $343,208, and OSU's student organizations received $237,802 from student activity fees. In contrast, at CSU last year, student organizations received only $18,460 from student activity fees, about $14,000 of which went to the Student Association. As far as academics for athletes' are concerned, Dr. Lewis Irving, CSU Sociology professor, has been trying to obtain information in this area, but was informed that this information is protected by the Privacy Act. Not only are students forced to support athletics through student activity fees, but students don't have the right to find out how well academically those students benefitting from student activity fees are doing. In conclusion, throwing students' money away year after year to me is a blatant waste of money that is supported by neither the student body nor the faculty, with the obvious exception of those students and faculty benefitting from student activity fees. Whether or not CSU should continue to support athletics is not the issue. The issue is whether or not students should be forced to support athletics. The administrator who is fond of saying that athletic events are free to all students is mislead, because each student paid an average of $22.57 last year for athletic events and $25.67 for athletic scholarships through student activity fees. Athletics may be good entertainment, but entertainment does not justify requiring the student body of CSU to finance the athletic program at this university. Because Dr. Bill Lillard, CSU president, is the person that ultimately proposes to the Board of Regents of Oklahoma Colleges how student activity fees will be spent, it would seem he should allocate these funds proportionally to departments other than, but including, athletics for more equitable distribution of these funds. This would ensure that all students, not just athletes, would receive adequate financial allocations for student-supported student activities.

Jerry Johnson, a sophomore receiver, brings down a pass in the Bronchos 17-10 loss at Wantland Stadium Saturday.
Angelo State spoils Broncho homcoming The only thing the old cliche promised about Saturday's football game, the Bronchos third against a nationally ranked team, was that it would be a charm. Unfortunately, the classic phrase never guaranteed a win. And despite turning in another fine performance, complete with a cardiac kid-like Broncho corneback effort in the final seconds, CSU lost their fifth straight game Saturday, falling to Angelo State 17-10. The Rams stung the Broncho defense early. The Texas team moved the ball 88 yards on four plays to produce a touchdown on their second possession. Angelo State quarterback Mickey Russell capped the Ram drive with a 76-yard touchdown run on a quarterback draw. Placekicker Russell Goshorn converted the extra point. One series later, the Rams struck again. A 37-yard first down pass by Russell set up Angelo State's second score. The Bronchos handed the ball to the Rams at midfield after a feeble 13-yard punt. Angelo State moved to the Broncho 2-yard line on four plays before Cory Lee squeezed in for the touchdown. CSU sophomore Jerry Johnson began his afternoon of heroics on the Broncho's next possession. The 5'3" receiver hauled in his first catch of the day, a 17-yard strike from senior quarterback Glynn Walker. Johnson caught four passes good for 94 yards on the day, including throws from three different Broncho passers. His final two receptions led to Broncho scores. The Bronchos not only manag-
ed to produce 160 yards of offense in the first half, but converted nine first downs and controlled the ball for nearly 20 minutes. The Rams totalled 189 yards, five first downs and only had possession for 10 minutes of the half, but came out on top of the scoring column, 14-0. Angelo State scored again on their first possession of the second half on a 30 yard Goshorn field goal to post a commanding 17-0 lead. The Bronchos scored their first touchdown midway through the third quarter. Freshman back Pinkey Hurley started the drive, producing 17 yards on three carries. Third string quarterback Zane Burgess connected with Johnson up the middle for 22 yards on a first down pass. Hurley, along with Tim Tillis, a sophomore fullback, kept the Bronchos moving on the ground before Stacey Spencer went over the top from the 1-yard line to give the Bronchos six points. The Bronchos started their comeback bid halfway through the final period. After Johnson picked up his fourth pass of the day, this one good for 34 yards, the Bronchos moved the ball to the Ram 14-yard line. The Angelo State defense stalled the Broncho drive forcing CSU to settle for a 31-yard Kelly Nasworthy field goal. On their next possession, the Bronchos drove to the Ram 9-yard line. With 15 seconds left on the clock, Burgess was intercepted one yard deep in the end zone. Angelo State took over and ran down the clock.
Things just haven't been going well for the CSU volleyball team. The Lady Bronchos, struggling through the tail end of their inaugural season, picked up another pair of losses after dropping matches to Lone Star Conference foes East Texas State and Texas A&I. The Lady Bronchos entertained the ETU squad in the Broncho Field House Thursday. The Lady Lions, fresh off an upset of Central Michigan, the number one ranked Division II team in the country, needed only 30 minutes to take a 2-0 lead in best-of-five game match. East Texas put together a powerful spiking performance to rally off 15 straight points and hand CSU a 15-0 set back in the opening game. The Lady Bronchos didn't fare any better in the second game. Despite turning in a few powerful spikes of their own, CSU was again humbled 15-0 by the aggressive ETU team. Down 0-12 in the second game, the Lady Bronchos came to life and produced one of the matches' top rallies, but ETU came up with the point after another strong spike. The Lady Lions turned in a perfectly placed service ace and a still another potent spike to take the game 15-0. ETU jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the third came, but hard hitting Rita Uhlenhake produced a couple of key hits to force three Lady Lion miscues, knotting the score at 3-3. After a service ace by senior CSU captain Shelly Parent, the teams continued to battle and

Veterans experience stress in play From Staff Reports
CSU playwright student Frank Otterman will produce and direct "Big Boys Don't Cry," in the Liberal Arts auditorium, at 8 p.m., Nov. 5, 6, and 7, and a 4 p.m. matinee Nov. 7. Although this is Otterman's first screen play, he is no stranger to the performing arts field. His roles traditionally are on stage rather than behind the scenes. He has performed in many area plays, most recently portraying Antonio Salier in Carpenter Square's presentation of Amadeus. Otterman also spent six
years performing in theater and television in Los Angeles. "Big Boys" takes place on Christman Eve, in the psychiatric unit of a veterans hospital. The story revolves around three veterans who are experiencing post traumatic stress syndrome (PTSS), a psychological condition that effects many veterans long after the Vietnam War has ended. The screenplay began as a novel many years ago. But according to Otterman, the novel was never fully developed. Under the guidance of Ralph Pape, a New York playwright
who is currently an artist-inresidence in CSU's Creative Studies Program, Otterman redesigned the novel into a screenplay. "This was the only war (Vietnam) where men had no chance to show or examine any emotions," said Otterman. "It wasn't like World War II where they were in units and stayed together and were there for the duration and knew each other well, discussed the events and the results, which acted as expurgation for them. So they never had the chance to cry or get any of it out of their guts,

"'Big Boys' demonstrates that it's okay to show your emotions, it doesn't take away from your manliness," said Otterman. "I would like people to know that this production is entitled work in progress, I need to get this in front of an audience to find out their response. From there I will refine the characters," said Otterman. "Eventually, I would like to see it performed at the V.A. Theater in Washington, D.C.

"I feel that movies like Platoon and Full Metal Jacket have dealt with the problems of what happens to vets during the war, but has not attacked what happens to them after the war," said Otterman. Three Vietnam veterans who star in the production are Jay Jarvis, Stan Steele and Gary Wayne Cooper. Other performers include Rosalind Reeder, David Mowry and Carveth Osterhaus. "Please stress the enormous cooperation I've received from my wife Tamara Kit (Dr. Givan), Ralph Pape, Granville Burgess, John Bishop and certainly, Dr. Clif' Warren. Their ardent support and that of the students and my friends is tremendous," said Otterman.

hence, 'Big Boys Don't Cry."' "I went to a V.A. center in Oklahoma City and met with other vets who have experienced many of the same post war feelings things I have," said Otterman. "It was there I was provided with a packet of information which listed the sypmtoms of post traumatic stress syndrome. I read it and realized I had every one of them. This was the first time I was aware that such a condition existed."
