•, Courses offer 'credits by mail'
By Shae Naro "Correspondence work was never intended to replace the classroom, but it is a beneficial way to pick up credit," said Darrell Gilliland, director of the Department of Correspondence Studies. The five colleges on the CSU campus are represented by the correspondence studies program. Most of the courses offered are lower division, but there are some 3000 and 4000 level courses offered. The only requirement for students to participate in correspondence studies is that one be admissable to CSU. The fees are $20 per credit hour, but a student cannot enroll in more than two
courses at one time. "Usually students enrolled in correspondence courses are hardship cases, or a course they needed was not offered in regular enrollment," said Gilliland. Full or part-time students may enroll in correspondence courses as long as the combined enrollment does not exceed 20 hours. Students have one year to complete the course, which is graded by a regular faculty member. The number of lessons in a course depends on the course; ten lessons per credit hour means if a student was taking three hours credit there would be 30 lessons. Most courses, depending on the instructor, have one comprehensive final.
According to Gilliland, "It takes a disciplined person to complete the courses because the work is done independently and mailed into the department." Credit is the same as regular enrollment credit, but no record will be applied to the transcript until the final is taken. "We have 600 students actively enrolled at any given time from many states and one or two foreign countries," said Gilliland. "Correspondence is not an easy way out, but it is an alternative," said Gilliland. For additional information regarding correspondence courses, contact Darrell Gilliland at the administration building in office 101D.
By Susie E. Goddard Lake Arcadia is filling up, and, according to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, construction of the lake's park areas should be cornplete by Fall 1987. Seven parks are being built around the new lake, the closest to CSU's campus being Spring Creek, located at 15th and Midwest Boulevard; Edmond Park, on Highway 66 (Edmond Road) and Central State Park, also on Highway 66.
Other parks include Post Road Park, located on Highway 66 below the dam; Tinker Creek Park, 33rd and Post Road; Deep Fork Park, Memorial and 15th Street and Turtle Island Handicapped Park at 33rd and Air Depot. The parks will provide many recreational activities for CSU students and Edmond residents, a corps of engineers spokesperson said. There will be beaches, campsites, picnic sites, boat ramps,
playgrounds, hiking trails and group picnic shelters. The Lake Arcadia area also will feature sports complexes, a marina and a research center for Central State. As well as recreation, Lake Arcadia also will provide flood control and water storage. The water treatment plant, which will be located east of the lake's dam, will take care of Edmond's water problems for at least the next 20 years, the spokesperson said.
By Shannon Blockcolski Several students don't know what the money they pay for certain fees listed on their enrollment computer printout are used for, said Dr. Larry Williams, vice president of academic administration. "The majority of the fees, 22 percent, charged per semester with the tuition go into revolving fund income, 22 percent of the university's total funds," Williams said. On the computer printout, five different fees are separated from a student's general fee charge. The "facility fee," according to Williams, goes to the Broncho Fieldhouse and Wantland Stadium. This fee is 42 cents per credit hour per semester, with a maximum or $5 each semester and $2 in the summer. The "union fee," Williams said, is used to finance the University Center Activities Board and University Center. It is paid at a rate of 50 cents per semester hour, with a maximum of $7.50 in the fall and spring and $4 in the summmer. The "non-resident fee" is charged all students who are not official residents of Oklahoma. "These students pay a higher cost for all of their tuition and fees," Williams said. The "special fee" category covers many different things, Williams said.
"If a person enrolls in an advanced standing exam, private lessons or some physical education courses, they are charged a special fee," he added. Two physical education courses which charge a $25 special fee are the bowling and racquetball classes. This money is not kept by the university, Williams said, but paid to the bowling alley or racquetball court where the students attend class. The "non refund" space on the printout is reserved for students who enroll in a semester, attend classes for part of the semester and then drop out. If a student withdraws from school during the first week of classes, they are refunded 80 percent of their tuition and fees, during the second week, 50 percent and during the third week, 30 percent, Williams said. After the third week, a student withdrawing from school receives no refund, based on the refund policy of the Oklahoma State Regents of Higher Education. The "student activity fee" is incorporated into the general fees, Williams said, and is determined by the amount of credit hours a student enrolls in each semester. "A lot of people think we ought to make our students pay 25 percent of the total cost of their education. At CSU the students pay a decent proportion, 22 to 23 percent," he added.

Drugs not just sports problem By John Helsley
Sports Editor Probably the most publicized issue in sports these days is the problem of drugs and athletes. Each day in the sports pages, stories appear of some athlete who has been caught or linked to drug use. Many times, these stories overshadow the actual games and events! Undoubtedly, the drug problem is a major concern in sports. But, isn't it also a major concern throughout our society? Drug usage is not restricted to athletes. It is concentrated evenly through everyday people in all walks of life.
Commentary Yet, it seems we tend to inflate the drug problem in sports because these people are in the public eye and idolized by so many people. Is this right? Are the things that individuals do in their private lives public interest if it doesn't affect others? These questions are often asked and the answer is not clear. Maybe adverse publicity is good in that it will make athletes think twice before using drugs. But the problem is much deeper than the small percentage that athletes represent. The root of the drug problem lies with the "money" people who are bankrolling the movement of huge quantities of drugs in this country. According to national drug enforcement authorities, the money people are bankers, doctors and lawyers. Aren't they also people in the public eye who are supposedly upstanding individuals? What should our kids strive to grow up and be?
Adolescents invade student center By Shannon Blockcolski
Editor At least one Friday every month, it happens. Hundreds of high school students come to CSU for competitions or workshops. These students descend on the University Center, and turn a once fairly peaceful place for college students to congregate into a madhouse. Friday, I heard at least ten people complain about the high school students in the University Center. These juveniles were talking loudly in
the Oklahoma Room, playing with the elevators and writing on the bathroom walls.
Commentary
Granted, these students are invited here by the University, probably to recruit them for next year's enrollment figure and tuition money. Yet, should the college students who pay to use the
University Center, through "union fees," be subjected to the mentality and immature actions of most of these high school students? Most college students have learned to stay away from the University Center on the days CSU is attacked by public school intruders. Perhaps if certain areas of the University Center, like the fourth floor deli, were restricted from the incoming forces of destruction, college students wouldn't have to avoid being where they have every right to be.

Parents need campus child care
To the editor: It seems that CSU neglects parents who are also students. With the average age of the CSU student in the upper twenties, it would be great to see
an on-campus day-care facility. It is difficult, if not impossible, to find child care that coincides with students' class schedules. Most daycare centers are set up for parents who
work eight to five jobs, and they won't accept part-time enrollment. If there were a full service day-care center on campus, maybe more parents could receive an education.
Guest commentary
Candidates 'awarded' for election personalities By John Buttry Now that the elections are over, people are sitting back and analyzing where this or that candidate did well, misread the mood of the voters, etc., ad nauseum. Being one of those people, and being in a reflective state of mind, I decided to create my own set of "awards" to commemorate the more memorable aspects of the 1986 election season. The I STAND BY MY NAME BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE TO STAND ON ANYTHING ELSE award is presented to Gov. Henry Bellmon for his refusal to debate his opponents. The I STAND ON MY NAME BECAUSE I CAN'T STAND ON ANYTHING ELSE citation goes to
Robert S. Kerr III (no explanation needed.) Following yet another unsuccessful run for the position for Corporation Commissioner, CSU's own Tom Guild receives the I GUESS I'LL STAY IN THE CLASSROOM A FEW MORE YEARS award. Republican Lieutenant Governor candidate Tim Leonard receives the JIMMY CARTER LOOK-ALIKE award. Just as important is the DRESS FOR SUCCESS prize for Donna Compton. The Democratic candidate for District Five Representative appeared at the Campaign '86 workshop in a pantsuit, open collar and natty sweater. She was instantly catapulted into first place for this award as a result.
The SO I'M NOT A HISTORY BUFF citation is presented to David Walters, Democratic Gubernatorial candidate, who seemed to forget that (1) Democrat Mike Turpen, not Henry Bellmon, originated complaints questioning the legality of his campaign loans, and (2) If the "political establishment" is trying to keep him from becoming Governor, than he is blaming the wrong party by pointing fingers at the Republicans. It would be impossible, of course, to relive all of the excitement of this past mudbath of an election. Nevertheless, I felt compelled to share the above with you. Let us now breathe a collective sigh of relief as the elections of 1986 become history and the elections of 1988 approach.

News: World, state and local Lower tuition requested
60-67
As an effort to double the number of college educated adults by the turn of the century, former Secretary of Education Terrel H. Bell approached the American Association of State Colleges and Universities, asking that college tuition be kept as low as possible. In a report given by Bell, he stated that tuition should be kept low in order that colleges can recruit more minorities, some who often have abilities they never use. Bell added because of the high percent of high school dropouts, it can't be denied that there is a massive population of undereducated people.
Smoking poll released In a national smoking poll taken for the American Cancer Society, American Lung Association and the American Heart Association, it was shown that the general public does not feel cigarette advertising should be banned, but they favor broad restrictions on smoking. This contradicts a survey taken by the American Medical Association in which 64 percent favored a cigarette advertising ban. In the poll taken over the weekend, it reported that 62 percent said cigarette advertisements should be permitted in magazines and newspapers. Also, the poll showed that nine of every 10 people support "no smoking" sections in public places, while some said smoking indoors is harmful to non-smokers. Others said smoking advertisements cause youngsters to start smoking.
Olympic festival in city? U.S. Olympic officials spent Monday and this morning touring Oklahoma City as a possible site for the 1989 U.S. Olympic Festival. Inspection of the festival sites included the University of Oklahoma, the Myriad Convention Center and Oklahoma City Community College. Oklahoma City was selected over three other cities by the Site Selection Committee. After the inspection is complete, the officials will decide whether or not to recommend the city to the executive board, to officially name OKC the host city for 1989. A final decision will be made Nov. 23.
Statue named for Vets An 8-foot bronze statue honoring Oklahoma veterans of the Vietnam War, will be dedicated today on the north lawn of the capitol to recognize Veteran's Day. Maj. Gen. Jay T. Edwards, chairman of the Oklahoma Veterans Memorial Task Force said the statue is a tribute to those thousands, living and deceased, who served in World War I and II and in the Korean and Vietnam Wars. The statue portrays a youthful soldier, carrying a rifle weighed down by other military gear and eyes that show the horrors of war and pride, Edwards said.
Disney bus overturns One person was killed and 33 were injured when a tour bus enroute to Disney World overturned Sunday in Fort Lauderdale. Higway patrolman Lt. Jim Lee said the bus was carrying South and Central Americans to the amusement park. Although officers are investigating the cause of the wreck, a tour bus representative said the overturn may have been caused by moisture and loose gravel on the road. The accident occured on the Florida Turnpike, which was under construction. The tourists had been in the United States less than a week and were scheduled to return to their country after the Orlando tour.

Security booed again To the editor: Due to the neglectful, apathetic attitudes of the Campus Security, the student body has formed a negative image of them. They seem to only write speeding tickets, allot parking tickets and harass students over parking decals. I sat in Broncho Fieldhouse parking lot in the rain, with a dead battery for thirty minutes, which made me late for work. I called Campus Security for help. I was told in a gruff way that they
could not help me. They told me they go through too many alternators a year, caused from jumping cars. Their ultimate answer was for me to lift the hood of my car and someone was bound to come by and help. (What, thirty more minutes?) I wonder if their solution to my problem would be the same if this happened at night? With all the violence that happens at schools today, doesn't security's job inlude coming to the aid of those that are stranded and
in need? Or will it only be noticed if I park in the wrong lot? Webster defines SE-CU-RI-TY as, the quality or state of being secure, freedom from danger, freedom from fear and measures taken to guard. Why can't administration furnish Security with a battery charger so they can do some good samaritian duties to help others and improve their poor image?

Student disappointed in teaching methods To the editor: I am a Dean's list student who recently had to drop a class because of the amount of work required by the professor. The class I am referring to is not an upper level class, but is a basic secondyear requirement for all business major students. Requirements for this particular class include a test over every chapter, a quiz over every chapter and exercises due every class period, which require hours to complete.
The average time spent per day to make a good grade in the class would be a minimum of two hours a day in order for a "B" grade. I feel that this is a ridiculous requirement, especially for a lower level class. It is a fact that most of the students at CSU work at least part time. What if each of our classes required studying two hours a day, or a total of eight hours of studying a day for a minimum 12 hour semester load? I work a 40-hour week and have

never had a problem with a class work load before. I have spoken to several students in the referred class, and more than 60 percent of the students originally enrolled have dropped the class. More than 50 percent of the students failed the first test, very few made a "B" and all other students made below a "B". I am not saying that professors should make the classes easier, but what I am saying is, why doesn't the faculty, or whomever evaluates our professors, actually look at the teacher evaluations we students have to fill out at the end of every semester? When more than 50 percent of a class drops, you would think there was something wrong with the teaching methods of some of the teachers. We, as students, pay our tuition, and therefore should have some input as to the type or quality of teaching methods used on
us.

2nd Lt. Alan K. Bolton, CSU spring '86 graduate, received a graduate fellowship under the U.S. Army Top Five Percent Program. Bolton will attend graduate school at a university of his choice with full pay and allowances between his fourth and tenth year of active duty military service, said Lt. Col. Terry L. May, professor of military science for the Reserve Officers' Training Corps program at CSU. "This is not the kind of thing one applies for," May said. "The Headquarters Department of the Army makes the selections based on university and summer camp performance. It takes an extremely high ROTC performance evaluation, plus a superior academic performance, for someone to be considered." According to May, Bolton was identified as a potential recipient for the honor earlier this year. Bolton was notified of his official
selection in mid-September. Bolton, a political science/prelaw graduate, received a regular army commission in the aviation branch May 9. While a student at CSU, he was the battalion commander for the CSU ROTC detachment, a national ROTC scholarship recipient and a distinguished military student. Despite having plenty of time to decide on an area of study, Bolton said he is pretty certain he will obtain a degree in international affairs, since law is not one of the courses of study offered under the fellowship program. "My secondary emphasis in my undergraduate degree was in the area of inernational affairs," he said. "I think 1'd like to study that area on the graduate level because it will also provide a good foundation for my eventual law studies." Bolton said he believes the program is part of the military's way of encouraging continuing education,

"The military is very proeducation," he explained. "This program is just another way for it to award top achievers with a chance for civilian schooling and additional schooling is playing an ever-increasing factor in the selection for senior officers." Bolton said his selection of a graduate school must satisfy a
professional, as well as personal, requirement. "Since the program allows you to pursue a degree at any university in the United States," he said, "I'm checking into which institutions have the best international affairs program in the country. I definitely want my graduate degree from a top rate department." With each year of fellowship study, recipients of this award incur a three year obligation for military service which may not exceed four years. However, Bolton doesn't seem to mind the extra duty time, it will on allow him the time to accomplish additional goals, he said. With all his future career plans, Bolton still said it was difficult for him to speculate on the length of time he'll spend at his country's service. "At this point, I am really happy with my career choice in the military. But for right now, I guess it looks like a pretty sure 20 years." he said.
Student works with abusive parents By Julia Fresonke
Student Writer "Child abuse is a very dreadful business, a real blight on society. But my work with Project Bond has helped me see there are ways to deal with it in a positive manner," said Susan Lamb, a junior sociology and psychology major. Lamb, 37 and the mother of two children, is a volunteer parent aid for Project Bond, a program designed to help abusive parents, potential child abusers or overstressed parents overcome their abusive activities or tendancies.
Project Bond, launched in early 1985, is sponsored by the Parent's Assistance Center (PAC) of Oklahoma City. It was developed by Linda Gore, a psychiatric social worker with PAC. Gore studied similar endeavors in other cities and combined their best features into a program based on volunteer parent aides working one-to-one with parents — called clients — who request support. "With this program I'm trying to encourage getting away from the idea that the people we help are child abusers," Gore said.

"Some of them have abused, but some are concerned about what's happening in their families and some are overstressed. "It's the court's job to label people as abusive, not mine. I see people who are overstressed and need support." Lamb discovered Project Bond last spring through a newspaper announcement and became interested, even though she had never before been attracted to the child abuse area of social work. "I had always pictured myself as working for women's rights, with battered women or in the area of chemical dependency," Lamb said. However, at the time the news article appeared, Lamb had just emerged from what she called "the divorce crazies and a period of self-centeredness" and thought becoming involved in Project Bond would be a good way to "get outside myself." Lamb contacted Gore, Project Bond coordinator, who screened Lamb to determine if she was right for the program. "We are looking for people with some life skills," Gore said, adding that she screens all volunteers. "They need to have weathered some storms and they need to want to work with abusive parents. They should also be good listeners and natural helpers in their communities." Once accepted as a volunteer, Lamb's first task was to complete a 20-hour training program focusing on the dynamics of abuse and neglect, community services and the child welfare system. Upon conclusion of the training, Gore matched Lamb with a couple whose children have been removed from the home by court order. In June, Lamb began visiting her clients at their house each Thursday evening, staying as long as she felt the couple wanted her to stay. During initial meetings, the three exchanged small talk and gradually built a relationship akin to friendship, Lamb said. Now they talk about personal
things like employment, school and what they have done during the past week. They also communicate by phone frequently between their regularly scheduled visits. Lamb does not counsel the couple, Gore said. Rather she befriends them and tries to build the parents' self-esteem and their trust in others, two qualities often missing in abusive parents. Lamb also lets them know she is available to do small things such as running errands, or larger things such as listening and assisting should the couple be on the edge of an explosive situation, Gore added. Progress toward these goals is difficult to measure, Lamb said. "Some weeks I see them and say 'Wow! They're really doing great!' Then the next week I fell like we're back to square one. But I really believe that as long as my clients open the door and let me in, there is progress," Lamb said. Lamb said she would recommend Project Bond to those seeking a meaningful volunteer experience, because working with the program has taught her several things. She said she has learned that her own life is more stable, safe and comfortable than she thought it was and that it is possible to be involved with important social work and follow a positive personal lifestyle. Lamb added she now realizes that parents, abusive or nor, want the same things — food, clothing and a good education — for their children; and every parent has the potential of being abusive. "We walk a very fine line," Lamb said. Most importantly, her involvement has shown Lamb she is able to work with parents who have crossed that fine line, despite her strong feelings about parents abusing their children. "I thought I would be very negative about working with these adults. But I find my attitude is `what can I do that will be of help to this family so that abuse won't happen again,"' Lamb said.

Jeans never die, just fade away By Laura Hughes
•
Student Writer Styles and fashions change every semester at Central State University, but it seems one apparel can be found year round on the student body, blue jeans. In a random poll taken of students concerning blue jeans, the responses were similar to those of a national poll done by Levi Strauss and Co. and Newsweek magazine, taken of college students in conjunction with a student research program issued by Ask Associates Inc., a New York market research firm. The report, entitled "The Levi's 501 Report," found that
most students wear blue jeans to class 70 percent of the time. The students who were surveyed said their oldest pair of jeans was three-years-old. The majority questioned also said Levi's were their favorite brand of jeans. CSU students surveyed also chose Levi's as their favorite brand of jeans. Lee Jeans were student's second choice, and the survey showed students wear jeans to class about 74 percent of the time. Although this was the case for most students, some said they wore theirs well above the average.

"I wear them 99 percent of the time because they're comfortable and durable," Steve Lawwill said. Michele Emanuelson, who said she's had one pair of jeans since the seventh grade, (five years ago), said she wears her jeans 100 percent of the time, because they are warm and comfortable. However, not all students are jeans enthusiasts. Mark Codner said he only wears jeans 20 percent of the time. " I'm not your average jeans person. I only have two pair," Codner said. Jeans have been around since 1853, so they haven't been classified as 'just a fad.' With the durability and year after year appearance, it looks like old jeans never die, they just fade away.

Erring Bronchos jolted in final game VISTA By John Helsley
Sports Editor Lamar scored 31 second half points Saturday to put away an error-prone CSU team 47-23 and hand the Bronchos their first losing season since 1976. The Bronchos committed eight turnovers, five fumbles and three interceptions, and had 12 penalties for 101 yards in losing their final game of the season and falling to 3-5-1 in the process. Eddie Goodlow gave the Bronchos an early lead when he rambled up the middle for an eight-yard touchdown with 2:58 left in the opening quarter. Placekicker Mark Monroe missed on the extra point try for the first time this year, however, and CSU was up 6-0. On the ensuing kickoff, the Cardinal's Ranzy Levias took the ball on his own 11 and returned it 38 yards to the 49 to give Lamar excellent field position. After gaining a first down at the CSU 40, Cardinal quarterback John Lewis hit receiver Kevin Simon with a 21-yard pass to the 19 and a personal foul penalty moved the ball to the nine. Burton Murchison scored on a draw the next play and a bad conversion snap made the score 6-6. Running back John Sterling put the Bronchos back on top 10 seconds into the second quarter when he took an option pitch and blazed 44 yards down the left
SPORTS
sideline for the TD. This time the conversion was good and the Bronchos led 13-6. Sterling closed out his CSU career in impressive fashion against Lamar as the Altus senior totaled 160 yards rushing on 20 carries and led all rushers in the game. Lamar quickly tied the score again following the kickoff. On a second down play from their 31, Murchison took a screen pass and galloped all the way for a 69-yard TD play. Big plays hurt the Bronchos all day. A fumble contributed to a Lamar field goal with 6:18 left in the half, but the Bronchos were able to even the score at 16-16 on a 21-yard field goal by Monroe just three seconds before intermission. Lamar took the second half kickoff and drove 89 yards in 15 plays, eating 7:40 off the clock for the go-ahead touchdown. The Cardinals struck again four plays later following a Broncho punt. On first down, Troy Barrett started over left tackle and streaked 70 yards to the Broncho twoyard line. Evans rolled left and took it in himself on the next play to put Lamar up 30-16. CSU fought back into the game on their next series, when Reggie Smith quarterbacked the Bronchos on a 70-yard TD drive. Smith hit receiver David Carter with a 57-yard scoring pass and the
Bronchos were within seven, 30-23. But, that was to be all of the scoring for CSU and the Cardinals added a third quarter field goal and two fourth quarter touchdowns for the final margin.

Blue grapplers win intrasquad dual By John Helsley Sports Editor Led by four freshmen, the Blue squad took an early lead and never trailed in coasting to a 28-15 win in the annual Bronze and Blue Intrasquad wrestling match Thursday at the Broncho Fieldhouse. After Shane Foster and Jantz Kinzer fought to 1-1 draw in the 118 pound match, Sapulpa freshman Shawn Fleming upended Kent Hall in the first of two 126 pound matches to give the Blue a 5-2 lead. Jimmy Filippo, another 126 pound freshman, followed with an impressive 11-2 major decision over Casey Gall to up the Blue's lead to 9-2. Filippo dominated the match from the start and allowed Gall only two escapes. "Filippo wrestled with great intensity," said coach David James. "He has great working habits and he is constantly striving to improve. It showed in his performance." Chickasha sophomore Mark Peck extended the Blue lead to 12-2 with a 9-4 victory over Dwayne Hladik in the first 134 pound match before David Aduddell registered the Bronze team's first win a 6-2 decision over Jerry Goss in the second battle at that weight. Todd Steidley, a junior transfer from Utah St., showed why he was an NCAA qualifier by scoring a technical fall victory over Cliff Jackson in a 142 pound bout to put the Blue up 18-5. Johnny Nimmo, a 150 pound freshman for the Bronze team, beat Joe Lewallen to get the Bronze back on the board, but
Vince Jouret of the Blue stretched the lead to 24-8 with a technical fall over Terry Tatum at 158. In a second 158 pound match, Bronze team member Darren Peaster downed Keith Lipps 11-4. The Bronchos most highly regarded recruit, Brett Beams of Shawnee, exhibited some of his high school All-American form in rolling to a 14-6 win over Gary Patterson. It was a workmanlike effort for Beams, who will be counted on heavily at the 167 pound slot. Bill Ogilvie appeared to be fully recovered from a knee injury which hampered him in 1985. In the final match of the night, Ogilvie major decisioned Scott Hulsey of the Blue 9-1. "I thought we wrestled pretty good and our conditioning appears to be good overall," James said. "Some individuals need to work on their conditioning, but as a team, we are alright. "We've had two intrasquads and a lot of ranking matches," James continued. "We are tired of beating up on each other, and we are ready for the real action to begin."

From Staff Reports The Lamar game marked the end to the collegiate football careers of 17 Broncho seniors, including 13 offensive performers and four defenders. Offensive players making their final appearance for the Bronchos were flanker David Carter, tight end Marques Jackson, fullback Eddie Goodlow, kicker Mark Monroe, tailback John Sterling, center Mark Ryan, center Jeff Pyle, guard Scott Leggett, tackle Jimmy Banks, tackle Chris Jones, tight end John Holmes and split end Tony Felton. Guard Lee Dudick, also a senior, went down with a knee injury early in the season. Defensive back Mark Barre, defensive end Julius Elder, linebacker Brian Mann and defensive tackle Charles Bell also have finished their collegiate careers. Each of the 17 seniors were contributors during the 1986 season. Sterling and Goodlow finished as the leading rushers for the Bronchos and Carter and Felton were the leading receivers. Monroe had a fine season kicking and he should again be considered for All-American honors. Mann was the team's leading tackler.

ROTC cadets earn wings at airborne school By Italia Carson
Student Writer Senior ROTC cadet Bill Baird and junior cadet Clifton Johnston learned paratrooper skills that earned them permanent parachutists wings for their uniforms when they attended the U.S. Army Airborne School last summer. Johnston, a full-time student at Southern Nazarene University in Bethany, attends CSU for his military science training. "I wanted to go there for the honor of being an airborne
soldier," Johnston said. "I knew it would further my military career and open up a lot of career options." For Baird, the opportunity to attend the special training gave him a chance to strengthen his physical stamina. "I wanted to go to the school because it is physically demanding," Baird said, "You train six hours a day, six days a week in the Georgia sun." The CSU ROTC department was given two summer slots and one spring slot to fill for the
school, according to Capt. Walter Wilson, Jr., training and operations officer for the CSU military science department. "Students competed for the slots towards the end of the spring semester," Wilson said. "We didn't send anyone in the spring because nobody was really ready, but we felt Baird and Johnston were ready for the summer." According to Wilson, criteria for selection include grade point average, physical fitness and past performance as a cadet. Wilson said nearly one-third of

CSU ROTC advanced and basic course cadets compete for the slots alloted to the military science departments each year. The CSU ROTC department has sent cadets to this special training school since 1969 with virtually all of the cadets successfully completing the school. The school is divided by week into three seperate training phases: ground week, tower week and jump week. The first week emphasized physical conditioning as well as aircraft exiting and parachute landing falls termed "PLFs." "Tower Week," the second phase of training, reemphasized everything learned the previous week, Johnston said. Students also learned to control their parachutes while in flight and continued practicing PLFs. During "Jump Week" students were required to successfully complete five jumps from a C-141 jet and a C-130 propeller-driven plane. Using an MCI-1B steerable parachute and a TIOBparachute, students exited the planes and
floated down to a 1500-meter wide area of land termed the "drop zone." Immediately following the final jump, students are graduated in a ceremony held in the drop zone. Fellow CSU ROTC cadet Mike Maples pinned Johnston's wings on during his graduation ceremony. "Mike was at Ft. Benning teaching at the drill sergeants' academy," Johnston said. "Your wings are pinned on by someone who has alredy completed airborne school. Since Mike is airborne qualified, he pinned my first wings on me." In May 1987, Baird hopes to receive a regular army commission in the branch of Field Artillary. Because he is airborne qualified, he said his chances of being assigned to an airborne unit will be enhanced. Although the training is tough, Baird said the honor of being one of the few officers to be airborne qualified was well worth the sacrifice of three weeks of his summer.
Speaker to discuss human personality By Kim Voynar The second featured speaker in the Psychology and Literature series has been scheduled. Dr. Pvol Toussieng will speak at 10:40 a.m. Nov. 12 in the L.A. Auditorium. His presentation will focus upon Sigmund Freud and human personality. Students in the liberal arts, education and psychology should find the program stimulating, said Dr. James Stewart, director of the program. Stewart said students and professors from all disciplines are invited to attend. Toussieng, a native of Denmark, grew up in Indonesia and is now a U.S. citizen. He taught at the Menninger Foundation in
Topeka and is now a professor in psychiatry and pediatrics in the College of Medicine at the Oklahoma University Health Sciences Center. He has published several articles and books on a wide range of topics, including childhood disturbances, learning disablities, adoption, delinquency, drug abuse, gender problems and human sexuality. He has contributed as a consultant to several organizations involved in mental health activity. "This is an excellent opportunity for CSU to hear a man deeply invested both academically and clinically with the mind of man," Stewart said.
American Cancer Society encourages participation in Great American Smokeout By Dennis Ramsey More than 320,000 Americans will die prematurely this year of diseases linked to smoking, according to the American Cancer Society (ACS). In light of this, the ACS will hold their tenth annual Great American Smokeout. Traditionally held on the Thursday before Thanksgiving, this year's smokeout will be Nov. 20. The smokeout is designed to be a lighthearted, fun way for smokers to quit smoking for a 24-hour period, according to an ACS spokesperson. The reason for a total ban on smoking for a day, explains the ACS, is "for most people, quitting the smoking habit 'cold turkey' seems to work better than a gradual tapering off." ACS has developed an "adopt a smoker" guide. The guide is a
plan for the non-smoker to help a friend get through the day without smoking. The guide has many pointers on how to help, as well as how not to. The guide states the non-smoker should never preach or scold on the taboos of tobacco. Rather, the guide encourages the non-smoker to "show that you care; that you have a vested interest in keeping your adoptee in good health." The guide also suggests the nonsmoker keep the smoker's mind off smoking by keeping the smoker occupied with activities that minimize the temptation to smoke. Some of these activities might include seeing a movie in a theater that prohibits smoking, strenuous activities or a get together with fellow adoptees, according to the ACS.
