Bellmon appoints Boland as Chickasha school regent By J. Money Editor
CSU Lecturer Lillian C. Boland has been appointed by Gov. Henry Bellmon to the Board of Regents of the University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma. Boland's appointment, announced by Bellmon Nov. 13, is effective immediately to replace the unexpired term of Scott Ousley, who died. Boland, who has taught at CSU for 28 years, said she is officially retired, but continues to teach one or two classes each semester, depending on the university's need. "Having worked for a university for as many years as I have, I feel like I have a good feel for the needs," Boland said. Boland said she told the governor's office that she would not take the appointment if it meant having to quit teaching. "Since there is no money involved in my services at USA() (other than gas money), there should be no conflict between what I am doing at CSU and what I'll be doing there. Besides teaching classes, Boland has also been involved in a myriad of other activites during her career. Boland said she originally began teaching speech and english at Oilton, Ok., on the junior high and high school level. After teaching at Oilton, (she was also the principal's secretary while there), Boland said she departed for the University of Michigan to do her graduate work.
While working toward her graduate degree for a time, Boland said she took a summer and went to the Dockstreet
Lillian Boland
Theater in Charleston, S.C., as an acting apprentice. "It was there I met my husband," Boland said. Boland said she and her husband returned to the University of Michigan, where she completed her master. While there, she was assistant director of the university's aphasia speech therapy clinic. Aphasia is a condition in which a person loses power to use words. It is usually caused by a brain lesion. Boland said after she worked with the aphasia clinic she returned to Oklahoma and started teaching at Willard Elementary School. "My teaching there was unique, because I taught a special room, the first one in the state," Boland said.
Career day draws 2,500 CSU students By Mike White "This is really a big waste of time," said a CSU student about Career Day, held from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Wednesday in the University Center. Out of approximately 70 companies invited, only six did not attend, according to Dr. Joe Kinzer, dean of the College of Business. Kinzer said he judged the career day to be a success. "It seems to get better and better," he said. Companies that did attend said that they were there to disseminate information to interested students. Representatives from the com-
panies were available to meet and talk with students about job opportunities after graduation. Students could sign up for possible job interviews with companies they were interested in. Approximately 2,500 students attended, Kinzer said. CSU Statesman-in-Residence George Nigh addressed a luncheon attended by approximately 500 students and representatives, Kinzer said. After the luncheon ended at 1:20 p.m., most of the attendance diminished as cornpanies prepared to leave. A spokesman for Sherwin Williams said, "About 200 students have talked with us."
Boland said a special room contained students who had IQs under 70, as well as others who had emotional problems. Boland has also taught reading clinics on two different cruise ships, and has taken part in the Elderhostel program, one that provides special educational opportunities for the elderly. "The only requirement," Boland said, "is that at least one of the couples who participate is 60 years old or older. The couples live in university housing, and attend special classes to learn about the area where they are at any given time." Boland said it's like a tour with extended educational benefits. Boland's term as a regent at the Chickasha school, which requires approval by the Senate, will expire in 1989.

Ambassador featured at seminar From Staff Reports
Edwin Corr, U.S. Ambassador to El Salvador, will be featured at the 1987 Freedoms Foundation Current Issues in National Security Conference Nov. 20 at CSU. The conference is part of a twoday affair sponsored by the National Strategy Information Center, the Freedoms Foundation at Valley Forge, CSU and Cameron University at Lawton.

Dr. Gary L. Guertner, professor of political science at the U.S. Army War College in Penn-
sylvania, will discuss arms negotiations at the Lawton conference. "These speakers are the largest group of informed experts on national security problems that we are likely to have in Oklahoma this year," said Dr. Bill Lillard, CSU president. "This is the first year CSU has participated in the Freedoms Foundation national security seminar, and we are extremely pleased to be a part of this educational experience," Lillard continued. "We will have a balanced program as far as political viewpoints are concerned," said Dr. James Caster, CSU professor of political science. "The speakers will not necessarily agree with one another." Corr, a native of Perry, and a varsity wrestler at the University of Oklahoma in the late 1950s, has spent 16 years as a U.S. diplomat in Latin America. Corr has served since August
1985 in El Salvador. He was the American ambassador four years in Bolivia and one year in Peru. Corr served three years in Asia and was deputy assistant Secretary of State for Narcotics Enforcement.

"We are pleased that Central State University is joining in hosting this invaluable forum for the people of Oklahoma," Davis added. Caster and Dr. Phillip M. Simpson of Cameron are faculty sponsors along with their respective political science departments and The Military Order of World Wars. Caster said the CSU talks will be in the Liberal Arts auditorium, which will seat 250. Passes are available by calling 341-2980, ext. 5524.
