Arkansas governor to speak at banquet From staff reports Gov. Bill Clinton of Arkansas will speak at the "Evening With the Legislature" banquet, sponsored by the Nigh Institute of State Government, Feb. 17 at Central State University. "Gov. Clinton is considered by many to be a future candidate for president," said former Oklahoma Gov. George Nigh. "He is a dynamic individual, and in a 1986 poll, was selected by his fellow governors as one of the five

most effective governors in the nation." Clinton will speak at the 7:30 p.m. banquet in the University Center, where the entire membership of the Oklahoma legislature will be honored. Hosting the event are Gov. and Mrs. Henry Bellmon, CSU President and Mrs. Bill Lillard, Lt. Gov. and Mrs. Robert S.

Tuition increase hearing set By Scott Wheeler Student Writer The Oklahoma State Regents For Higher Education will hold a hearing 10 a.m. Monday Feb. 22 in the Regents Conference Room at the state capitol complex in Oklahoma City to discuss a possible increase in college enrollment and tuition fees for the 1988-89 fiscal year. Dr. Edward Coyle, senior vice chancellor for fiscal affairs, said last week "increases in tuition for university and college students are determined by peer Big 8 and Big 10 states. These hikes are needed to meet the increase in state ap-

propriated funds which must rise at the same rate as student generated enrollment funds." Coyle said the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education compared the quality of Oklahoma's schools in 1983 to those out-of-state schools who belong to the above mentioned conferences. As a result of the evaluation, Coyle said the regents tuition outlined a plan to reach a total of $75 million, $55 million to come from state appropriated funds, and the remaining $20 million to come from increased enrollment figures over the following four

years to bring Oklahoma level with other regional institutions. Tuition has been increased in four of the past five years. "There have been hearings open to the public prior to each tuition hike since 1983," said Coyle. "These tuition hikes do not include special fees such as activity fees and late enrollment fees," he added. Students views and comments are welcomed at these hearings, according to Coyle. Any tuition increase will still affect those students who have already enrolled and paid their tuition and fees early, he said.

Complaint gets drainpipes capped By J. Money Editor Exposed drainpipes left after a urinal and a commode were removed from a third floor restroom in East Hall will be "capped immediately," according to Nimrod Chapel, director of

maintenance at Central State University. Chapel's statement came after an anonymous complaint was filed with the Oklahoma City/County Health Department last week. Lee Roybal, a sanitarian with

Committee to screen 42 applicants for VP By J. Money Editor A committee to screen 42 applicants for the position of Vice President for Academic Affairs at Central State University has been formed, according to Jeff Shilling, student association president. The committee's chairperson, George Avellano, professor of marketing, said the committee will recommend three candidates to CSU President Bill Lillard on Feb. 26. Avellano said the applicants answered ads placed in The Chronicle of Higher Education

and other magazines circulated across the nation. The committee, Avellano said, is comprised of himself and six other faculty members plus one student. Other committee members are: Dr. Darry Carlstone, acting dean of math and science; Dr. Malcolm Coby, assistant professor of special education; Dr. Fred Grosz, associate professor of chemistry; Dr. John Lolley, director of library services; Joyce Mounce, vice president for administration; Dr. Dudley Ryan, dean of students, and Jeff Shilling, student association president.

the Oklahoma City/County Health Department, said exposed sewage pipes could lead to the build-up of gasses which could cause headaches. He added that if enough of the gas built up it might cause a fire or explosion. East Hall Head Resident George Tetteh said the urinal and commode had been removed in mid-December to do plumbing work when it was realized they were defective as well. Chapel said because the units had been installed in 1967 replacements were not immediately available. "The maintenance man should have gone back and recapped the exposed pipes after they found out no replacement fixtures were immediately available," said Chapel. Roger Heath, a resident advisor in East Hall, said there are other problems in the hall that maintenance has been notified about as well. "It's just a bunch of red tape," Heath said, "I don't think it's limited to this dorm either."

School retains jurisdiction

Charge against suspect dropped By J. Money

Editor An international student sought by Central State University police in connection with an assault turned himself in Thursday. Police Chief Bob Roberts said the man, who seemed embarrasssed by the incident, had agreed to apologize to the coeds. "He has been turned over to Dr. Ryan's office for discipline," said Roberts.

He added that charges will not be filed against the student. According to Roberts, the man had approached the coeds between East Hall and Murdaugh Hall following the East Meets West dance last Thursday. The man reportedly became angry when one of the coeds resisted him when he took her by the arm to talk. No one was injured.
