Student Senate's actions criticized By Shannon Blockcolski A resolution requesting student senators receive credit for their work as student representatives was postpOned indefinately, according to Bill Smith, student senator, at the Student Senate meeting Monday. Smith said the reason he asked that the resolution be postponed was because two other resolutions concerning the student senators were 'knocked down.' One resolution requested the senators author or co-author at least one piece of legislation. The other resolution proposed that the Student Senate continuum committee set up a points system in the selection of Outstanding Student Senator. "I feel the student senators are not taking their responsibilities very seriously," Smith said. "I don't think we (Student Senate) are worthy enough to go forth and ask for credit," Smith said. Another resolution authored by Smith requesting the Student Association to sponsor a faculty appreciation week on an annual basis was submitted to the Student Senate. "Teachers play an indispensable role in fostering and strengthening the progress of a free society by refusing to allow
ignorance and apathy to dominate its members," Smith wrote in the resolution. "The commitment of the CSU faculty insures a vigorous learning atmosphere for the student body and a position of leadership for our institution in the academic community." The resolution also requests a task committee be established by the Speaker of the Senate to plan and carry out the appropriate ceremonies. In other business, student senator Patricia McLean criticized the other senators for their actions at the Oct. 26th meeting. The Student Senate voted down a resolution requesting funds be donated to the Public Relations Student Association and the Public Information Office to purchase t-shirts for the CSU 96th Birthday Party. "We are an organization which supports the university and the students," she said. "We are cheerleaders for the university. After the last meeting, it may take a long time, possibly until the end of the semester, for our credibility to be raised again." Student Association Vice President Richard Passey told the senators, "I think you are doing a great job, and you should not feel at fault for your vote if you voted how you felt."
Major changes will be made in student eligibility requirements for financial aid, according to Sherri Hancock, director of the CSU student financial aid office. On Oct. 17, President Reagan officially signed the Higher Education Reauthorization Act. This bill authorizes $10.2 billion for low interest student loans, Pell grants and other higher education programs, according to the National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators. The most significant change, Hancock said, is the requirement that all students applying for any financial aid, including the Guaranteed Student Loan, must fill out a financial need test to determine the amount of the expected family contribution. "We started requiring this (the need test) at CSU before the bill was passed because we saw it was coming," Hancock said. Student loan applications which were filed prior to the authorization of the act can still be processed under the old rules using the Guaranteed Student Loan Needs Test and appropriate look-up
tables, Hancock said. Another major change created by the act is the student's classification as a dependent or independent, Hancock said. The independent student definition authorized by the act is as follows: 1. — is a veteran of U.S. Armed Forces 2. — is an orphan or ward of the court 3. — has legal dependents other than a spouse 4. — is a single, undergraduate with no dependents who was not claimed as a U.S. income tax exemption by his/her parents (or guardians) for 1985 and 1986 and who had a total annual income (taxable income plus untaxed benefits) of $4,000 or more in both 1985 and 1986 5. — is a married student whose parents (or guardians) will not claim him/her as an U.S. income tax exemption in 1987 6. — is a graduate or professional student whose parents (or guardians) will not claim him/her as an U.S. income tax exemption in 1987 7. — other exemptions which will be determined by the financial aid administrator (not determined
by answers to questions on the Family Financial Statement) Jane Power, editor of the National Education Association Higher Education Advocate, said that the act also allows students in great need to get grants to attend college less than half time. Under a last minute amendment to higher education reauthorization, Power said, student aid dollars can be used only in institutions that have programs to discourage students from abusing drugs. "Ironically, President Reagan is pitting drug education against higher education by proposing a $100 million reduction in student aid to pay for educational programs intended to prevent drug abuse," Power said. Hancock said the drug abuse program requirement is a relatively non-major point in the act. "We don't know right now what all of the ramifications will be, because an appropriations committee is reviewing the act right now, and probably won't have their final decision until the end of this year or the beginning of the next."

Blame bars for drunks? By Laura Hughes Student Writer In a recent case in Oklahoma, a man testified against two bars and their owners for serving him while he was drunk. He admitted to arriving at a bar intoxicated, then being involved in an accident which crippled a man. Now that the law has finally started coming down hard on drunk drivers, why are they charging bars and their employees for serving alcohol? That's like saying a drunk driver is not fully responsible for his actions.
Opinion Page THI-1 REGE T5 ) UIEW OF OKLA\-kOMA UNIVERSITIES
Guest commentary A person who serves alcoholic beverages can observe a person ordering a drink for symptoms of intoxication, but has no method for testing sobriety that is 100 percent accurate. For this reason, it seems unfair to hold a server responsible for the actions of a drunk. After all, a server doesn't twist anyone's arm or force anyone into having a drink he doesn't want. It's not against the law to have a drink. It's against the law to drink and drive. Where alcohol is concerned, everyone should be responsible and aware of the dangers when it is abused. But if someone gets behind the wheel and injures or kills someone, he should take full blame for his actions. If bar and club employees do what they can to serve alcohol responsibly, and still get charged because someone drinks and drives, they might have to start asking people to get up and walk a straight line.

Editorial
Book banning defiles public rights By Sharon Kabelitz Student Writer What do the books "The Shining," "The Color Purple" and "The Holy Bible" all have in common? These books are few in many that at one time or another have been banned from public and school libraries across the United States, following pressures by private groups which think the books are "inappropriate" reading for anyone, especially junior high and high school students. The books are banned for reasons of "rough language," "explicit sex scenes" or "controversial issues." According to Dr. Don Duffy, chairman of the CSU English department, "the decision about banning books is made by a small minority for the ma-
jority. That minority is probably poorly educated." The First Amendment in the Bill of Rights guarantees the citizens in the United States freedom of speech, freedom of the press and freedom to assemble. How can these select groups dictate what will and will not be on the library shelves? "The librarian does have a constitutional right to resist the group demands for removing the books, but the fear of losing his or her job is greater than the need to defend the books," said Laurine Wright, the head of the Edmond Branch Public Library. Wright has been with the Edmond Public Branch Library over two years, and there has been no problem with people wanting to ban books at their library.
In the United States, it is amazing that these groups of parents, religious leaders and administrators do not have enough faith in the youth of the nation to allow them to choose for themselves what ideas to accept and not accept. "If people have a pure heart, reading controversial material does not mean the reader will act upon the ideas," Duffy said. The United States is a free nation. Being a free nation the people are obliged to have controversial ideas known, but that does not mean they agree with what they read. A quote from the writer Oscar Wilde states the whole idea about banning books, "The books that the world calls immoral are the books that show the world its own shame."
Letters
International students' image of America tainted? To the editor: This concerns the egocentric joke in the article of "Guest Commentary" by John Buttry in the Oct. 28 edition of The Vista. When I read Mr. Buttry's very humorous article of "Question answered: Why attend CSU?," I could easily imagine that Mr. Buttry wrote it in a light-minded mood. And I enjoyed his wit, in fact. But some part of it reminded me of the not so good impressions which I have often felt in my daily life as a foreign student. What I mean is number five and number 18 of
the article, "To see if you would like West Africa " and "To see if you would like Southeast Asia." To make it short, a foreign student experiences a kind of host-guest relationship. Naturally, he is not accustomed to the language, culture and custom of the host country. As a guest, thus, he may well expect hospitality from the host. Can you imagine if he finds that there is too much expectation of him here? At least he may as well dislike the cynical joke against him from the host. He comes to study not only
American knowledge, but also American spirit, which has produced the advanced knowledge iself. Sometimes pride and strength blind one's intelligence and sympathy. I feel very reluctant to put the real American spirit into the above case. Think about how the guest returns to his home, spoiled in his mood. The impressions, if they are good or bad, that he gets from the host will be spread, of course, over his whole household when he returns: "If they would like North America?," in the terms of Mr. Buttry.

News: World, state and local Record turnout hopeful Both Democrats and Republicans hope for a record turnout, as voters go to the poll today to pick their favorite candidates. Although both are hopeful, Republicans believe their candidates in the Senate and gubernatorial races will draw heavy Democratic support. The polls, which are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., may show light attendance due to weather, a voting representative said. Despite the weather, Lee Slater, state election board secretary, predicts voter turnout would be heavy and possibly break the record set four years ago for a gubernatorial race.
Ellis found guilty Cyril Wayne Ellis was found guilty by a jury Monday on three counts of first degree murder and four counts of shooting with intent to kill, on a shooting spree last January. Ellis claimed something evil caused him kill, but the jury rejected his insanity defense. Today the jury will consider the punishment, with the death penalty being sought. The victims of the shooting were relatives of his fiancee or supervisors of the Consolidated Freightways trucking company where Ellis worked.
SW Bell asks for change Southwestern Bell telephone company has proposed an experiment to let a percentage of its 1 million Oklahoma customers choose from several phoning options that could lower both local and long distance phone bills. Before customers can design their own local or toll free calling areas, permission must be granted by the Corporation Commission before testing can begin. If approved, choices will be given to customers in Muskogee, Fort Gibson, Alex and areas of Oklahoma City and Tulsa. Although all customers in the test areas won't get the same options, all customers will be able to choose new toll free calling areas ranging in size from their neighborhood to their entire area code region.
Drugs claimed as cause A friend of 13 and 16-year-old murder suspects, testified against them in court Monday, claiming one was 'high' when they beat a 75-year-old Oklahoma City man to death. Tommy Cunningham admitted to robbing and hitting the man because he wanted some money of his own. Cunningham said he was sorry and he didn't remember much, but he didn't mean to hit the man so hard. The witness testified that Kimberly Williams, the second suspect, held the man down as Cunningham beat him with a stick. Cunningham is being charged as a juvenile but prosecuters are asking he be charged as an adult. Williams is charged as an adult, but her defense attorney wants it changed to a juvenile. A hearing is set for Nov. 24.
City to limit smoking At the Edmond City Council meeting Monday, a smoking ordinance was adopted to limit smoking in hospitals, health care facilities, 25 percent of public areas and in all child-care facilities in rooms where children are present. In addition, restaurants seating fewer than 50 customers are exempt from designating smoking and non-smoking areas but those seating more customers must divide the seating equally into the two areas. The proposal would have limited smoking in private businesses, but was defeated after several council members and residents protested.
Readers' forum
Senate fund denial clarified
To the editor: This letter is in reference to the Oct. 30 commentary that criticized one of the Student Senate's recent votes, which denied a $90 request by the Public Relations Club. This money was to be spent on the upcoming CSU 96th birthday celebration the club is sponsoring. In my opinion, the foremost reason as to why the Student Senate denied the money was ill preparation by the PR club's representative in explaining the reason for approaching the Senate. After it was established that the PR club was not going to get the money, I had the chance to speak with the PR club president, Cheryl Mantooth, and was able to learn more in depth the problems and difficulties the club had faced in putting together the event. These facts were not presented to the Senate effectively, to help promote the idea. Of course, this is now irrele-
vant, and Ms. Blockcolski was correct in her commentary that the Student Senate can be a learning experience and yes, mistakes will be made. But, I must also point out the view, which is paramount of Student Association President Jeff Shilling, that we are involved in this organization to make a difference in the university. I believe this episode was indeed a mistake, but the Senate should not take fault on their decision which was based on the little information given. My intent of this letter is to promote awareness to other organizations that may need financial help or assistance for an event on campus. Shilling has suggested it be be noted that just last year the Student Association gave over $1000 of their budget to other campus organizations and in addition, cosponsored many events with groups that needed our personnel and money. All campus organizations will be in a better position if all facts
and proper representation is brought forth at the time of need. The idea of lobbying for an issue is alive and well in the Student Association. I encourage everyone to pursue this key tool, because it's crucial and possibly wasn't utilized this time. I humbly apologize to the PR club and their president for this `failure of communication,' but I also commend Ms. Mantooth for her club's hercullean effort in trying to make this upcoming celebration a successful one. I sincerely hope this incident does not deter other organizations from seeking further assistance from the Student Association. If there is any way that the Student Association can help in a group or individual in their effort, feel free to call me in the SA office, because contrary to some people's beliefs, I am a nice guy.

From Staff Reports Scholars and business professionals have been invited by the College of Business Administration to attend the Fourth Annual Southwest Business Symposium. The symposium will be held on
campus April 16 and 17, 1987. The purpose of the symposium will be to provide a vehicle for the exchange of knowledge and information by scholars and practitioners within the field of business administration.
Prairie Dance Theater to open season at CSU Prairie Dance Theatre will come to CSU as it opens its 1986-87 home season at 8 p.m. Nov. 8 and 2:30 p.m. Nov. 9 in Mitchell Hall Theatre wiht a concert entitled "New Moves." The concerts will feature the premiere of two new works and the first performances with Prairie Dance Theatre of four new dancers. "Medicine Songs," choreographed by artistic director Beth Shumway, is a work inspired by Lynn Andrews book, "The Flight of the Seventh Moon," in which a woman learns to make medicine shields in the Native American tradition, one for each direction. The shields are mirrors as well as being protective. The dance will be highlighted by an original score by local musician Joseph Mills and with costumes by Caddo-Comanche design artist Willie Wells. Also premiering will be a new work by company member Cynthia Bond entitled "Love and the
Nature of Circles." Set to music by Mozart, the lyrical piece explores circularity of movement and the inter-connection of relationships. Other works on the program include old favorites from the repertoire: the comic "Four Characters in Search of...," "Stick Dances," a kinetic work and the comic solo to the medley of Patsy Kline tunes called "Busted, Broken and Lost in Love." Tickets for the performances are $8.50 for adults and $4.50 for children and students. Reservations can be made by calling 842-5235. Prairie Dance Theatre's 1896-87 season will include more new works than ever before, Shumway said, and the troupe will be performing almost twice as much as last year throughout Oklahoma and the region. "With our great new talent and all the artistic activity, we're really on the move this season," said Shumway.
Prof awarded for studies, accomplishments in health A CSU professor was named the Oklahoma Association for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance Scholar for 1986. This is the first time the OAHPERD has recognized one of its members for scholarly pursuits and accomplishments. Dr. Virginia Peters, professor of health and physical education and recipient of the award, presented a lecture at the College Section meeting at the OAHPERD's annual Fall Convention at Western Hills Lodge in Wagoner, Okla. Her lecture was titled "Retro Ad Elementa," which is Latin for "back to the basics." Peters said that since the whole educational system is evaluating its programs to see which programs to keep and which to discard, the health and physical education teachers should evaluate their own pro-
grams and return to the basics of the field. Peters said she sees six reasons why health and physical education programs may be cut in the budget crisis: inferior teaching, poorly developed and integrated curriculum, inadequate public relations, lack of verifiable results, the association of health and physical education with athletics and the overspecialization and fragmentation which characterizes the profession today. However, she has solutions proposed to help health and physical edcucation programs improve so they may be included in the "basics" that educators today want to return to. She said she hopes her lecture "motivated and challenged educators to do something about it before its too late."

Those interested in a presentation are invited to submit a paper which will be "blindly" reviewed by members of the program committee and their appointed referees. Papers will be judged on the basis of the following criteria: (1) originality, (2) overall quality and (3) suitability for the program. The Southwest Business Symposium will present an award for the most outstanding paper sub-
mitted in each of several areas. Authors of these papers will receive a certificate of recognition at the symposium. It is assumed the authors of accepted papers will register for the conference and personally make the presentation of their papers. In addition to the submission of papers, proposals for panel discussions are invited. Proposals should be planned as one three to four hour session and should describe in as much detail as possible the problems and issues to be addressed by the panel. The deadline for submission of papers and proposals for discussion is Jan. 31, 1987. More information on the specifics of the papers and proposals, participation in one of the other areas or registration for the symposium can be obtained by contacting Mary E.

Jaycees celebrate 60th anniversary By Kevin Hunter Student Writer The Jaycees, a community service organization, is celebrating its 60th anniversary in Oklahoma this year.

What originally began as an alliance of dance clubs in St. Louis in 1914 is now a world wide organization. The objective of each individual chapter is to meet

By Audrey Burge Student Writer How often is a customer greeted by a clerk with a warm smile, or even greeted at all, when entering a restaurant? Such an employee can be found at the Braums Ice Cream store on Broadway in Edmond, Thelma Fraizer. Frazier is a 76-year-old former CSU switchboard operator, which she worked for 11 years. She has served at Braums for 10 years. In the past, most people this age would have long since retired, or strongly considered retirement, Frazier said. But with Americans now living longer and healthier lives, this is no longer the case, she added. "I enjoy working and I love meeting new people," she said. Frazier said she has worked as long as she can remember. She fondly recalled her job as switchboard operator on campus. At work, Frazier keeps pace with her co-workers, and the only difference she said is their age. Frazier said the customers know her by name and Frazier refers to them as friends. For years Frazier has walked to work. She still is able to drive where ever she wants to go, but since she lives across from her employer, she chooses to walk, she said. "I thank God for my health," Frazier said. Frazier has lived in Edmond all her life. She attended Edmond High School and after graduation, she attended a business college were she acquired secretarial skills. When Frazier is not working, she said she enjoys visiting with friends over a cup of tea at her home. She also lives alone with a dog and two cats, all strays, she said. Frazier said, "As long as I have my health and strength, I will continue to help others by giving of myself."

civic affairs," one member said. Locally, some of the projects the Jaycees have participated in are helping to draw the National Finals Rodeo to Oklahoma City, the building of Taft Stadium, annual fundraising for the Muscular Dystrophy Association, the Special Olympics and distributing food baskets and children's toys to needy families in the community for Christmas. For individual members, they offer training in such areas as leadership development, family life/spiritual development, personal skills, communication dynamics and time management. Membership, which is limited to persons age 18-36, has included such people as Charles Lindbergh, John F. Kennedy, and Gov. George Nigh. Chapter Management Vice President Judy Boswell said," The Jaycees are a great way to make social and business contacts, as well as being a good way to give back to your community, that which your community has given to you."

On a fourth-and-one play from the 10, Robert Whitman took a pitch from Skinner and went untouched for the TD and again the score was tied. A fumble contributed to the Bronchos final score when Julius Elder recovered an errant Skinner pitchout at the Aggie 20. Three plays later, Walker connected with Tony Felton, who made a brilliant catch between two defenders for the go-ahead TD. It appeared that Cameron would have to drive from its own territory to attempt to tie the game, but with 8:20 left in the game, Darin Jones broke through and blocked Jim Marks punt and the Aggies were in business at the CSU 16-yard line. Faced with a fourth-and-16 situation from the CSU 22, Skinner found a wide-open Ronald Walters streaking across the endzone for the tying score. The Bronchos couldn't get a first down on their last possession of the game and had to watch anxiously as Wulfkuhle's kick sailed wide of the uprights.

Country Championships Nov. 15 at Kinosha, Wis. OCC's Scott Farris won the five-mile meet in a time of 25:55, followed by teammates Mark Trimble and Ron Lee. In one of the closest district team races ever, the Eagles finished with 40 points to edge CSU and OBU, who tied for second with 43 points. "We didn't run very well," said CSU coach Paul Parent. "I don't know if we weren't ready mentally or what. You don't win the district meet if you don't run well; there are too many quality athletes in the district. "We had some individuals run well. Begay and Heffernan both ran well and they could do well at nationals and make CSU proud."
Begay placed seventh and earned All-American status at the national meet in 1985 on the same course that will be used this year. "It's a tough course," Parent said. "It has one big hill that the runners must go over twice and a series of smaller hills. We run a lot of hills in our workouts, so that part should not bother us. You never know about the weather up there, though." Other Broncho finishers were Danny Charley, ninth; Jeff Kraft, 11th; Sean Slavin, 14th; Sean Smith, 16th and Willie Curleychief, 17th. Ernest Proo finished 20th, Leander Eckiwaudah was 23rd, Devon Brandes was 24th, Kenneth Lemons was 25th and Carl Reherman was 26th.

From Staff Reports CSU's wrestling team will kickoff the 1986-87 season with the annual Bronze and Blue intrasquad match at 7:30 p.m. Thursday in the Broncho Fieldhouse. "The Bronze and Blue is a good way for us to start the season," said head coach David James. "It gives our guys an opportunity to wrestle in the fieldhouse in a live situation in front of a crowd. At a couple of weights we will even have ranking matches." The match, which will be a preview of the defending NAIA National Champions, will be free to the public. Below is a tentative lineup for Thursday night's action with the Blue team members listed first. 118 pounds — Shane "Boo" Foster vs Jantz Kinzer.
126 pounds — Casey Gall vs Jimmy Filippo. 126 pounds — Kent Hall vs Shawn Fleming. 134 pounds — David Aduddell vs Jerry Goss. 134 pounds — Dwayne Hladik vs Mark Peck. 142 pounds — Todd Steidley vs Cliff Jackson. 150 pounds — Johnny Nimmo vs Phil Owings. 158 pounds — Darren Peaster vs Jeff Burke. 167 pounds — Brett Beams vs Gary Patterson. 177 pounds — Landon Speed vs Johnny Deaton. 190 pounds — Scott Hulsey vs Bill Ogilvie. Heavyweight — Curtis Riley vs Roy Schultz.* *Schultz may not wrestle due to a shoulder injury.
November 4, 1986 § The Vista § page 7
Wrestling fortunes to hinge on new faces 1985-86 was a big year for CSU wrestling. The Bronchos edged Southern Oregon University for the NAIA National Championship and, in the process, became the first NAIA team ever to capture three consecutive national team titles. The Bronchos had six wrestlers who nabbed All-American honors off that team and head coach David James was named the NAIA Coach of the Year for the second time in his young career. If James is able to garner that national coaching honor again this year he will definitely have earned it. This year's edition of Broncho wrestling is a young and inexperienced group. Only one All-American, Stoney Wright, returns from last year's team, and he will miss the first month of the season with a knee injury suffered in workouts. "This squad realizes that we are a new team with new faces," James said. "When you have a young group, like we do, the guys seem to work harder, they're more hungry. We know we can't live on the past. "It's possible that we could have four freshmen in the lineup. But, they are the kind of kids that we recruited to come in and wrestle as freshmen and they can win. We recruited these kids because we knew they could do the job. Following is a look at each weight with comments from coach James. 118 pounds — Junior Shane Foster is the favorite at this weight, but competition is heavy from freshmen Shawn Fleming and Jantz Kinzer. "Foster has been around for three years and he's been working hard. Any of the three could wrestle. 126 pounds — One of three freshmen will get the nod here. Casey Gall, Kent Hall and Jimmy Filippo will battle for the starting position. OU transfer Greg Valdez could help when he's eligible at semester break. 134 pounds — Senior David Aduddell is back for his senior season. He was a national qualifier in 1983, but injury problems have hampered him throughout his career. "He's had an on and off career, but he came in with a good attitude this year and has shown good intensity. Sophomore Mark Peck and NEO transfer Jerry Goss are also in the battle. Freshmen Dwayne Hladik and Brad Vogel (out until second semester with a broken hand) will add depth. 142 pounds — Utah transfer Todd Steidley comes to CSU with impressive credentials. Steidley was 41-21-1 at Utah and was the PCAA conference champion and NCAA qualifier in 1985. "Todd is really tough. He knows how to wrestle, he's very strong and has great mat knowledge." Sophomores Cliff Jackson, Mike Ryan and Chip Baer help to make this one of the Bronchos strongest weights. 150 pounds — Until Wright's knee injury, the Bronchos were set here, but now one of two freshmen must take charge. Del City freshman Johnny Nimmo was a two-time Class 5A regional champ and twice runnerup in high school. Vince Jouret of Ponca City will take on Nimmo for the 150 spot until Wright returns. 158 pounds — Northeastern transfer Darren Peaster and sophomore Jeff Burke are in competition for the 158 slot. "Peaster has a lot of confidence and will get after you from the time the whistle blows. Burke has average skills, but is always in great shape and gives great effort." 167 pounds — Freshman Brett Beams arrives to fill the 167 pound void after a storied high school career. He was a first team H.S. AllAmerica after going 98-1 in his career at Shawnee. His last loss was as a sophomore. He was voted the Outstanding Wrestler in Oklahoma last year. Junior Gary Patterson and freshman Chad Maxwell add depth. 177 pounds — Senior Johnny Deaton is back after a redshirt year. He placed third at the national tourney in 1984. "He's not flashy, but he gets the job done. He is stronger than most of his opponents and he really wants to go out a winner." Junior Scott Hulsey is the backup. 190 pounds — National qualifier Bill Ogilvie returns for his senior season, and if a 1985 knee injury is healed, he should be a strength. Mustang freshman Landon Speed will also see action at this weight. Heavyweight — Junior Curtis Riley has been a two-year starter and was enjoying a good '85 season until a knee injury put him out of action. "Curtis could be a national placer; he's a prime-time wrestler."

Ad student's design selected From Staff Reports
Jim Bothwell, junior and student in Assistant Professor Jo Ann Adams' advertising design class, is the chosen artist of the Spring '87 schedule cover. Bothwell's design was selected because of arrangement of design, clarity of copy, style and quality of illustration, Adams said. "In addition to holding the honor for reproduction of the schedule, it has been arranged for Bothwell to have a tuition feewaiver for the coming semester,"
Adams said. Sherri Hancock, director of Student Financial Aid, said this is a commitment to the fact that aesthetically pleasing printed materials are important for the image of a strong university. Due to a challenge from Dr. Darrell Gilliland, director of the enrollment center, advertising design students were presented specifications of necessary copy needed for the spring class schedule. Adams presented the various design directions for im-
ages and symbols. A selection committee chose five other pieces for outstanding merit. These included the designs of Blair Benham, Lawrence Githinji, Julio Gonzalez, Elaine Kartanihardja and Wayne Levan. In addition to designing schedule covers, the class has done other work for the university, community service projects and participated in competitions. This year they have worked on design concepts for the "Nutcracker," murals for the

Volunteers requested for media campaign By Laura Ferguson United Cerebral Palsey of Oklahoma needs volunteers in the journalism field to help at the main office, 2701 N. Portland, with an intensive media campaign. Martie Buzzard, Executive Director of UCP of Oklahoma, said she feels this is a good opportunity for journalism students to make statewide media contacts and to establish a track record. It will allow skill development in the media industry that cannot be obtained in the classroom, she said. "We are looking for students to write feature articles and public service announcements, produce video stories, take pictures and help prepare for the annual
Cerebral Palsey Telethon to be held Jan. 17-18 at Heritage Park Mall in Midwest City and will be broadcast on Channel 5. "The volunteer positions require dependable self-starters with the ability to follow through and complete tasks. The ability to coordinate ideas and good communication skills are also important," she said. Buzzard added that since all aspects of United Cerebral Palsey depends on volunteer help to survive, the help of CSU students would be a great asset to the organization and to the student. More information on the volunteer program can be obtained by contacting Martie Buzzard at 947-7641.
Wesley Foundation director to start full-time in January By Jack Money As a result of increased funding from the Methodist Church, the Wesley Foundation's part-time director, Paul Overton, will go full-time in January. Overton plans to become more involved in inviting people to attend the foundation, once he begins working full-time, he said. "The purpose of the Wesley Foundation, sometimes called the Methodist Student Center, is to provide a home away from home for students, somewhere to come for Christian fellowship and spiritual formation," Overton said. The Wesley Foundation is a nation-wide organization supported by various denominations at colleges across the country. The sixteen chapters at campuses in Oklahoma are supported by the Methodist Church. Some of the students that frequent the foundation are involved in evangelistic internships, recruiting students to come and experience what the foundation has to offer, Overton said. "I think it's better for these
students to encourage other students to get involved in religion. Most people listen to their friends before they listen to a strange figure of authority," Overton said. The Wesley Foundation has activities planned Sunday through Thursday, including a dollar meal Sunday nights and a free lunch on Thursdays featuring an outside speaker, Overton said. "Once a month, we try to have a faculty member speak in a last lecture format, meaning they give an informal lecture as if it was the last lecture they would ever give, usually centered around a religious medium. It's unique, because it gives students and faculty members a chance to observe and learn from one another in other than a school atmosphere," Overton said. He added that The Wesley FoundatiOn also offers many games, fellowships with other groups and discussions on many topics. "The main emphasis here is placed on staying close to church while at school," Overton said.
