Bennett was charged after witnesses said they saw a man slash the tires on East Hall Hear Resident Scott Lumry's vehicle, said Roberts.

"Several of my residents saw what took place, and they were able to pick that individual out of a photo lineup," said Lumry. Bennett has faced a variety of legal problems while a student at CSU.

`Last Temptation' debuts in Edmond
Movie gets mixed reaction By Kamal Mazlan
Staff Writer "Boring," "too long," "artistic," and "violent" were some of the words used by about 40 people, including 35 Central State University students, to describe the controversial movie "The Last Temptation of Christ" after watching it at the Wesley Foundation's Methodist Student Center Nov. 12.
Students later held a panel discussion with three church ministers: Gary Johnson, admissions officer for Philips University Seminary; his wife, Lynn, a disciple's minister; and Dub Ambrose, associate director of the Council on Ministries for the Oklahoma Conference of the United Methodist Church. "To some extent, we showed the movie due to the public controversy surrounding the movie. OU and OSU had done it. So, we
felt that students could decide for themselves if the movie is helpful to them, and find out if one movie wrecks everything that has been going on for 2,000 years," said Paul Overton, campus minister for the Wesley Foundation." "The students viewed the movie in a Christian setting, with a group of ministers, and then talked about the meaning of the movie, how this could be apply to their ChristPlease see FILM on page 8.
Veterans change deadline By Kelly Tillery
Student Writer
The deadline has been changed to Dec. 1 for Central State University Veteran students' spring semester enrollment. Students receiving veterans educational benefits to include dependents must turn their schedule in to the Veterans Affairs Office in the Administration Building,
Room 110, said Kenneth Young, Veterans Affairs coordinator. Six chapters, or educational benefit programs, which include 463 students attending CSU, are involved. Those disregarding the deadline stand a chance of receiving benefits one to three weeks late, he said. Last year's Nov. 27 deadline was changed to give the Veterans Affairs office more time to handle paperwork before sending it to the
VA office in Muskogee, Young said. Young said that he personally deals with the VA in Muskogee and they are very cooperative. If a person has a special circumstance that needs attention, the VA will usually help solve the problem . "Veteran students should check the Veterans Affairs Office on campus each semester. If the deadline is met, there should not be any problem with receiving their check on time," Young said.

Student's first recital to provide variety By Debbie Burr Student Writer
Mary Kidwell, a Central State University music education major, will perform a piano and clarinet recital at 8 p.m. tonight in the Music Building, Room 101. Kidwell, a sophomore from Edmond, will open the program with two piano pieces, Chopin's "Etude in F Minor," and Haydn's "Sonata in C Minor." Peggy Spence, CSU music instructor, will accompany. "The recital should be enjoyable and includes a variety of music styles," said Kidwell. "The Chopin selection is a romantic
piece and Haydn has a classical sound." The recital will end with a jazz number on the clarinet called "Seresta," written by Paquito D' Rivera. Pianist Jay Minor will accompany Kidwell. Kidwell has been preparing for the recital since the middle of summer, she said. "It has taken me about three months to prepare. Now that I'm down to the wire, I've been practicing everyday for at least two to three hours," Kidwell said. This is Kidwell's first recital at CSU. "I'll probably be nervous, but that is really what all of this is abPlease see RECITAL on page 8.
