Administration reconsiders 'W' grade By Traci Baucom Associate Editor The office of Academic Affairs plans to rethink their decision which became effective Jan. 9, to change the grades of Withdraw while Passing (WP) and Withdraw while Failing (WF) to simply Withdraw (W), according
to Dr. Albert Lynd, assistant vice president for academic affairs. Lynd said although there are no current plans to revert back to the WP and WF grades, his office has received complaints from faculty that students are abusing the system. "As Dr. Perry (vice president
Prof speaks on suicide By Susan Garrett Briscoe Teenage suicide was the topic of a program held at All Souls Episcopal Church in Oklahoma City Nov. 13 at 7 p.m. One of the panel speakers was Dr. Margaret Isaac, associate professor of psychology. "If I fail in what I do, I fail in what I am," was a quote Isaac shared with the audience from a suicide note of a young girl. Isaac went on to say there was too much stress placed on students to make good grades in our schools. "We put tremendous pressure on our students to make A's. How many of us have A's?," said Isaac to the audience of teachers, parents, professionals and students. "Students should be rewarded for doing their best. Not every student is a straight A student,"she commented. If a student is making D's and F's, they need to change their courses. "We need to teach our children how to cope with failure," Isaac went on to say. "The need to be number one is translated from our football to our children," she said. Isaac said parents look for a list of problems and then go through the list and say, "This doesn't effect my daughter or son." Then they walk away relieved at the end of the list. "Listen to what your children are saying and listen to what could be underlying. An adolescent has more decisions to make today, like drug culture," commented Isaac. She requested that parents and teacher work together in co-op teams. "If you don't have the time for your children, how can teachers have the time?" she asked.

of academic affairs) said at the beginning of the semester, the whole grading system is going to be looked at again," Lynd said. "This will include the W grade because that is what we have at the moment. Certainly it will be one of the marks looked at, and we'll need to decide if we're going to revise it." Lynd said one possibility the academic affairs council might consider would be moving the deadline for receiving the W grade from the last regularly scheduled
day of classes to sometime earlier in the semester. For example, he said, one possibility is the deadline could be moved to sometime around midterm and thereafter students would receive WP or WF grades. "There is considerable sentiment that deadline should be moved earlier into the semester," Lynd said. "There are many opinions as to when it should be." Lynd said academic affairs felt the WP and the WF, as it was, was inequitable so they switched quickly to the W grade.
"I think now the concern is some students, a small number, abuse the W grade by taking it right at the very end of the semester," he said. "Many of the faculty feel students should not be able to receive the W after a certain date in the semester." Lynd said academic affairs had made the decision when they implemented the change to look at how well it was working after it had been in effect one year. He says they won't consider any changes to the present system until the spring semester.
BSU to sponsor Thanksgiving feast CSU students will have the opportunity to participate in a mini-Olympics and Thanksgiving feast. International Olympic Day, sponsored by the Baptist Student Union (BSU), will take place 1-6 p.m. Friday in Whantland Hall. "This is the third year the BSU has sponsored the event," said John Reimer, associate director of the BSU. According to Reimer, there will be competitions between different intenational student organizations in volley ball, basketball, ping pong and a possible tug-of-war match. After the competition, an International
Thanksgiving Dinner will begin at 7 p.m. in the BSU. Reimer said that the dinner is free to any international student whether they compete or not. "Since obviously internationals can't go home for Thanksgiving break and the cafeteria is closed, they will have the opportunity to eat a good meal at a great price!" Reimer said. American students living in the dorms during Thanksgiving break are welcome to attend the competition and the meal, added Reimer. "If they want to compete, we have the flexibility to pick up teams," said Reimer.
Park says: 'No student directory' By Curtis Killman The campus directory, published by the university, will be streamlined this year due to lack of use and budget reasons, according to Joe Park, director of public relations and in charge of publications. The directory, which contained the addresses and phone numbers of students, administration, faculty, staff members and extension numbers for the offices, dorms and clubs, will not include the student listings this year.
"We found that by the time the book was available much of the information in the book was inaccurate due to the students changing addresses after registering," Park said. Park said the cost of printing this years' directory should be $847 for 500 copies, or $1.70 per copy, while last year the cost was $2380 for 900 copies, or $2.64 per copy and sold for $2 each. Park said he expected it to be available in the bookstore the week after the Thanksgiving holidays.
"This will be the first time since I've been here (19 years) that we haven't published the student listings," Park said.
Thanksgiving Break Thanksgiving break will begin at 5:00 p.m., Nov. 21. Wednesday evening classes will be cancelled.

Opinion Page Senate election fairness challen ed
Letter to the Editor: It should be understood that I still have confidence that the Central State University Faculty Senate will want to do the right thing and seat the four Liberal Arts faculty members (who should have been declared elected) at the December meeting of the Faculty Senate. The question of civil rights (individual or personal) were mostly
cleared up in the United States in the 1950s and 60s except in a few pockets of resistance such as the faculty senate to seat the four in December and proceed immediately to make policy changes to insure that these injustices will never, never occur again. If these injustices are not corrected we expect to proceed in federal court against all appropriate parties in-
cluding the immediate past president of the faculty senate and the immediate past chairman of the Committee on Senate Constitution, Parlimentary Procedures, and Elections. On advise of counsel, the matter will need to be filed in federal court and will probably include faculty senate membership beyond the immediate past faculty senate president and the immediate past chairman of the Committee on
Reinstatement of 'drop' procedure
considered inequitable to students By Melissa Mercer Editor In order for an institution to function effectively, it must be given the authority to discern what is best for the university and act accordingly. Too many times university administrations are bound in red tape and are not allowed to act freely on behalf of the university's interests. This does not mean, however, that the administration should go completely unchecked. As with any other institution, organization or business, a university is accountable in the final analysis to its patrons. Students pay to attend classes, not employees. Editorial In keeping with a university's accountability, its objectives should lie in better serving its students. Presently, within the administration, particularly academic affairs, many changes are taking place. Evaluations of programs from every department of every college are being conducted while new

management objectives are being made. CSU's recent adversity coupled with the ideas of its new administrative members have forced assessment of this university's organization. But, amid all this administrative fury, are students becoming a secondary consideration? In a letter dated Nov. 28, 1983, Dr. James Perry, vice president for academic affairs, recommended to Dr. Bill Lillard a change in the grading policy. Perry felt that a "W" should be given in lieu of a "W/P" (withdraw while passing) or a "W/F" (withdraw while failing). According to Perry, "the W/P is a neutral grade. The W/F, on the other hand, is counted as the equivalent of an F in calculating grade point average. "When a student withdraws from a class, irrespective of whether they are passing or failing, they sacrifice the academic credit they would have earned, they lose their time and they lose the value of their tuition. Nothing is gained by adding the additional penalty of counting a W/F as the equivalent
of an F when grade point is calculated." A change in policy was granted and put into effect Jan. 9, for the beginning of the spring '84 semester. Currently, the new "W" grade is undergoing the possibililty of further modification. Faculty members are complaining that students are abusing the class dropping system by waiting until the last day of classes to drop. The idea of reinstating "W/P" and "W/F" after mid-term is being considered. Simply because a student remains on the roll past mid-term hardly constitutes academic penalty. It is difficult to understand how this could be taking advantage of the system. If anything, it should be a student's prerogative to drop a class when he deems it necessary to do so. No matter how valid the inconveniences are which the "W" grade has brought faculty members, it does not justify compromising the welfare of the student body. A reinstatement of the former system, even a partial reinstatement, would be a mistake.
Student commends senators To the editor: In response to the letter that appeared in the Nov. 15 issue of The Vista concerning the student government at CSU, the Student Senate is not just a "social clique" on campus as was written. Instead, the Student Senate is an organization that represents the views of the students at CSU and helps to improve student welfare. The letter that appeared in The Vista said the Preamble of the constitution of the Student Senate listed "...promoting student recreation and social conditions" before it listed "...furthering academic excellence." However, the actual statement lists the first priority as "...promoting development of student leadership..." It then lists recreation and social conditions, academic excellence and improving student welfare. Another point that was observed in the previous letter was that the qualifications for being a senator were "slim to none."
The constitution says that senators must "have an overall grade point average of 2.0 of all courses attempted to file for membership in the Senate." It also says that "All undergraduate Senators must be enrolled in and pass a minimum of six credit hours per semester, during his tenure of office..." The qualifications of the executive officers says that "all officers shall have a 2.5 overall grade point average of all courses at CSU. Any officer not having a 2.5 GPA shall be removed from office automatically." I agree, the qualifications may be "slim to none," but there are standards for the senate and its senators and officers. So, as a "student they supposedly represent," I have taken a "closer look" at the Student Senate and come to the conclusion that they are, to the best of their ability, providing for the welfare and the best interests of the students on campus.

Senate Constitution, Parlimentary Procedures and Elections. The faculty senate's high-handed actions have often had grievous results for CSU. A current example of the adverse effects the faculty senate causes at CSU is reflected in the CSU Grievace Committee. The faculty senate had a key role in recommending tha a "grievance procedure" be established to be implemented through a "grievance committee." The faculty senate destroyed the creditability of the grievance committee by refusing to accept is unanimous recommendation that these rightfully elected Liberal Arts professors be seated in the faculty seante. Consequently, the CSU grievance committee has been disbanded and the grievance procedure dissolved. I deeply regret the embarrassment that the faculty senate's irresponsibilty has brought to CSU in the past and currently, but defending one's rights is really what America is all about. Dr. William L. Crozier Chairman, Political Science Editor's Note: Dr. Crozier is referring to the faculty senate elections held in April. In a letter of protest sent to President Dr. Bill Lillard in April, Crozier and other members of the political science department accused senate leaders of "arbitrarily extending the deadline" of the filing period for faculty senate seats so they could "gain time to recruit Faculty Senate applications that are favorable to the leadership clique." Crozier and the other political science faculty who filed for the seven vacant seats contended at the time that since they were the only people who filed before the original deadline, they should have been seated automatically and the deadline extended only for the remaining seats.

State,local world news Khadafy accused of terrorism President Hosni Mubarak said Sunday that Egypt does not plan any retaliatory strike against Libya, but he accused Libyan leader Moammar Khadafy of being an international terrorist who had conceived an elaborate plan to kill half a dozen world leaders. Khadafy also may have been involved in the Nov. 7 assassination of India's Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, four would be assassins arrested by Egypt told interrogators, Mubarak said. Egypt maintains a large military force in the western desert, near the Libyan border. Mubarak, speaking to reporters after a meeting with Italian Prime Minister Bettino Craxi, said the force's state of readiness had not been increased as a result of the foiled attempt to kill a Libyan dissident there. Mubarak and other Egyptian officials said Libya had plans to assassinate British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, French President Francois Mitterrand, West German Chancellor Helmut Kohl, Saudi King Fand and several other Arab leaders, as well as to back rebels in overthrowing Pakistani President Zia ul-Haq. Egypt has no diplomatic relations with Libya and the United States has closed the Libyan embassies in Washington. Britain also shut down the Libyan Embassy in its capital earlier this year after a London policewoman was killed by shots fired from the embassy during a street demonstration by Khadafy opponents.
Unemployment feared in Israel Israel's Cabinet approved additional spending cuts Sunday in an effort to pull the nation out of its economic crisis, but fears were expressed the budget slashes could cause large-scale unemployment. Finance Minister Yitzhak Modai told reporters the Cabinet agreed in principle to his plan to trim $550 million from the $23 billion budget for 1985. Cabinet Secretary Yossi Beilin said the exact sum and the apportionment of the cuts had yet to be finalized. He said the Cabinet had named a committee of four ministers to decide within 10 days where to make the cuts, which would be in addition to the $1 billion slashed in September. Labor and Welfare Minister Moshe Katzav warned the unemployment could jump from the current 6 percent of the workforce to 9 percent next year if the spending cuts were implemented. The proposed cut is part of an austerity plan to stem Israel's inflation rate, which is projected to reach 600 percent by year's end, and reduce the balance of payments deficit. That deficit is expected to drop to $4.7 billion by the end of 1984.
Decision to deny visas debated State Department decisions to deny visas to a group of Salvadoran women and grant one to an Italian playwright have renewed debate over a 1950s law enacted over the veto of then-President Truman. The Reagan administration on Saturday rejected visa requests from four of five Salvadoran women on grounds that they were involved in terrorist activities against the government of El Salvador. The women, recipients of the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Award, were to attend a ceremony here Nov. 20. That action came less than three weeks after the administration, reversing an earlier policy, agreed to let Dario Fo visit New York where his play, "Accidental Death of an Anarchist," premiered on Broadway. Both cases were considered under the 1952 Immigration and Nationality Act, which the State Department says is vital to national security and serves to protect the United States' interest. There are two key sections of the law. One prevents the entry of aliens who seek to engage in activities that would be "prejudicial to the public interest" or "subversive to the natural security." The other bars those who are—or were—anarchists, communists or affiliated with any organization advocating communist doctrine (under a 1976 amendment to the act, if membership in a communist party is the only grounds for denial, it is automatically waived).

Sc! fi novelist, prof stresses 'freedom of mind' By Kathleen Neary If a student remembers only one thing from his science fiction class, he hopes it is "freedom of mind," said Mike McQuay, novelist and artist in residence here. This "freedom" has helped catapult him from a factory worker to a leading novelist with Bantam Books. "You must be able to think beyond yourself," said McQuay. "Think more about the audience." A full-time novelist and parttime instructor for five years in the creative studies department, McQuay has discovered teaching to be both frustrating and beneficial. "Teaching has made me look at my own work and helped me to improve my writing," he said. Impressed with the department, he feels that much of its success can be attributed to Dr. Clif' Warren, chairperson for the creative studies department. "Clif does an excellent job with the program," he said. McQuay admits he is climbing to the top and realizes it will be difficult, but his pace has quickened. This month he signed a contract with Walt Disney Productions to write a novelization for their new film tentatively entitled "My Science Project." According to McQuay, the job was secured through Bantam which has published six of McQuay's novels: the four "Mathew Swain" detective series, Escape from New York and Jitterbug. "I am looking forward to the job with Disney because it is a
professional organization which knows how to sell books well," said McQuay. So far, according to McQuay, one quarter of a million books are planned for the first printing. Published last summer, Jitterbug is about America ruled by a fanatical Arab dictator in the year 2155 A.D. Due to be released in January is McQuay's newest novel, Pure Blood, which also is being published by Bantam Books. "Pure Blood is about genetics, prejudice and racial purity taking place 1,000 years in the future," said McQuay. Planned to be released sometime in August is Mother Earth, the sequel to Pure Blood. "I am really anxious to see how it does," said McQuay, who considers it an extremely good novel. What McQuay finds so exhilarating about writing is what he calls the "edge of excitement." "There is always a chance that every book could be that million seller," smiled McQuay. According to McQuay, the motivating force behind his writing is laziness and hives. Claiming that writing is the best lazy man's way of making a living, he also admitted that he breaks out in hives and has severe headaches when away from a typewriter for too long. "My body rebels if I don't write," he laughed. McQuay became a writer at the age of 25, after his fill of what he felt was the dehumanization of factory work. Although he was an avid reader, he had no forme

training or experience in writing. He decided to write science fiction because he thought he could cover mistakes easily. "It's not true," he said. "Science fiction is as difficult as any type of writing." According to McQuay, he has written in many genres under the pen names of Victor Appleton, Carolyn Kenne, Franklin W. Dixon, Laura Lee Hope and Susan Claudia, but he has a special fondness for science fiction.
When writing science fiction, McQuay feels as though he has really touched upon something. "I use the future to talk about life today. Perhaps I am a modern day philosopher using the science fiction medium as a form of expression," he said. McQuay composes most of his outlines late at night while watching a baseball game or a bad movie and elaborates on the idea in the morning when his mind is fresh.
"I enjoy writing complicated plots with many characters and quick scenes with lots of movement," he said. McQuay resides in northwest Oklahoma City with his wife, Sandy, who is also a writer, and their three children. The ultimate goal for McQuay is to win a Hugo award, whichhe describes as the Academy Award for science fiction. "I want to be one of the biggest names in the business," he said.

Peace Corps officers recruit new applicants By Brian Vance Representatives of the Peace Corps were on campus Nov. 8, to talk to prospective applicants about recruitment into the agency. According to Patricia A. Booker, area manager, applicants must meet certain requirements in order to be considered for Peace Corps volunteer work. Applicants must be an American citizen, be at least 18 years old, be willing to serve overseas for two years, plus three months of orientation and language training, meet legal and medical requirements and have a required skill. Booker adds that those who do not possess college degrees should have either an agricultural background, a certificate in certain health related fields, home economics experience or three to four years of continuous experience in a skilled trade. Volunteers who hold degrees in biology, botany, physics, chemistry and those with environment related skills are especially needed by the Peace Corps. For over 23 years, more than 100,000 volunteers served in countries all over the world. In a single month, over one million lives are directly affected by Peace Corps workers who, among other things, help build schools, plant forests and treat malnourished children. In addition, volunteers work on such problems as economy, health, education and housing. Peace Corps volunteers work on projects determined by the communities in which they work. The workers live among the villagers. They stress self-sustainment by helping the villagers help themselves while preserving the culture of the area at the same time.
In order to maintain their own existence, Peace Corps workers receive a monthly allowance which matches the level of the host income. At the end of their two year assignment, the volunteers acquire a re-adjustment pay of $175 per month of service. The idea of a "peace army" was first suggested by American philosopher William James in 1904. After World War II, many private groups set up international work camps, who followed the example of the American Friends Service Committee, a Quaker organization started in 1917. In 1960, Senator Richard L. Neuberger and Congressman Henry S. Reuss proposed to Congress to study the feasibility of a youth corps program. Later that year, Senator Hubert H. Humphrey suggested that Congress procede to create a peace corps, and in his presidential election campaign, Senator John F. Kennedy promised to realize the corps proposal. Kennedy declared,"There is not enough money in all America to relieve the misery of the underdeveloped world in a giant and endless soup kitchen. But there is enough know-how and knowledgeable people to help those nations help themselves." Kennedy was subsequently elected president and kept his promise by establishing the Peace Corps on March 1, 1961. The first volunteers trained at Rutgers University and Sargent Shriver was appointed first director. For those students who are interested in joining the Peace Corps but who missed talking to a Peace Corps representative when they were on campus should write to the area recruiting office at P.O. Box 638, Dallas, Texas, or call (800)527/9216.

Bronchos miss playoffs
CSU skunks Greyhounds By Susan Garrett Briscoe
•
Central State University won its final game of the season with a 27-0 win over Eastern New Mexico, but despite the victory the Bronchos did not make the playoffs. CSU was ranked 10th in the final NAIA poll. Only the top eight teams make the playoffs. "I felt like we should have been in," said CSU head coach Gary Howard. "There are some teams in the playoffs that have no business being there." CSU finished the season 7-3 but were undefeated against NAIA opponents. The Bronchos' three losses were to NCAA Division II schools. "I don't know if there is a better way to do it (rankings), but they need to take a closer look at the schedules," said Howard. "I'm disappointed but when it is all said and done we played real well this year considering all the starters we lost to graduation." East Central of Ada - ranked No. 1 in the country - will be the lone representative from District 9, a club Howard thinks the Bronchos would be very competitive with. East Central dropped CSU from its schedule this season. "We beat them last season and they have the same personnel there," said Howard. "But, of course, we don't have the same people. I think we would have been competitive with them." In Saturday's game, CSU broke on top in the first quarter on quarterback Glynn Walker's 49-yard touchdown run on the option play. The Bronchos increased their lead to 14-0 on a 1-yard touchdown run by halfback Eddie
Goodlow to cap a 60-yard drive in 11 plays. In the fourth quarter, Walker scrambled for another touchdown on a 10-yard run. Goodson ran one yard for the final CSU touchdown late in the game. The game was marred by the inclimate weather and poor field conditions. The field had the appearance of a marsh and by the end the game the players looked like they had been in a mud wrestling contest. "It was the worst field condition I've ever seen in my career here," said Howard. "We had to make last minute adjustments and our selection of plays were limited. We ran a lot of option plays with the quarterback keeping the ball and dive plays." "We didn't have a chance," said Eastern coach Bill Kelly. "It was the worst field we have seen our lives. Brigham Young couldn't move in this crap." "We played with a lot of emotion which showed a lot of character on our team," said Howard. "We played a good ball club. I am real proud of our team effort and the way they played today." CSU rushed for 316 yards and passed for 41 yards in the game. Eastern New Mexico rushed for 75 yards and compiled only 121 yards in passing. The Greyhounds had been averaging over 300 yards a game through the air. The Greyhounds' All-American quarterback Kevin Kott was 18-for-35 passing with two interceptions, both by linebacker Ed Desherow. Walker was 3-of-11 through the air for 41 yards. Eastern New Mexico ended its season with a record of 5-5.

By Mary Martin Fencing is a unique sport requiring excellent coordination, quick reactions and speedy but accurate movements. Beginning classes are taught at Central State University in the fall while intermediate and advanced courses are offered in the spring. Fencing became a sport in the 17th century after gunpowder and firearms replaced swords as fundamental weapons. Much of the romance and excitement of serious dueling are still present in fencing. However, its objective is not to injure, but to outmaneuver and touch the opponent. Three weapons are used in modern fencing: the foil, epee and the sabre. Beginning students learn only the foil. Students learn epee and sabre in the intermediate or advanced classes. Only sight judging is used in the beginning classes. The electric foil is used in the upper level classes. It is designed to detect hits more accurately than average judging can. Most fencing competitions have been scored electronically since the 1955 World Championships. "It's not totally physical," said Anthony Bright, a CSU junior who has been fencing for three years. "It takes skill and thinking. Different attacks, advances and retreats must be planned." Marla Russell-Juarez, a sophomore stage fencer, took the class to learn competitive fencing. Stage fencing involves large, sweeping arm motions, while competitive fencing uses small moves, mostly in the wrist. "You don't fence against just men or just women," she said. "You can beat anybody as long as you plan." A fencing team was started at CSU in 1960. Although it consisted of both men and women, it was sponsored by the women's athletic department. When the men's and women's departments combined, fencing was one of the varsity sports that was dropped. It is now functioning on a club basis, and a constitution is awaiting approval by the Student Senate, said junior Greg Amen. The club currently meets on Thursday afternoons, but will soon meet twice a week with one afternoon meeting and a night meeting.

Fencers place in tournament By Mary Martin Nine fencers from Central State University competed in the Norman Invitational Fencing Tournament held at the University of Oklahoma. Sixty-six fencers from 10 clubs in Oklahoma and Arkansas competed. Cindy Richard took first place in Beginning Women's Foil and first in Women's Epee for CSU. Joe Washam placed second in Beginning Men's Foil. John Burdick and Mike Abla reached the semifinals. Anthony Bright reached the semifinals of Men's Epee. Three fencers placed in Men's Sabre: Mason Anderson, fourth; Steve Barley, eighth; and Burdick, ninth. In Open Men's Foil, Anderson placed sixth and Barley advanced to the semifinals. A tentative $5 per semester fee will be used for things such as intramural tournaments and trips to other tournaments. Amen said the club will be very important in giving the fencers additional experience besides what they get in class, because practice is important in mastering fencing skills. Dr. Virginia Peters has taught fencing at CSU here since 1958. She called it a thinking-person's sport and compared its strategies to those of chess. She thinks this is why many of her students are science, pre-medicine or physics majors. However, one doesn't have to be a genius to be successful at fencing. Peters said strength and size are not important either and that many good fencers have not been athletes before. "We can compete with anybody. No school has scholarships," said Peters. "Our fencers compete very well with the University of Oklahoma, Oklahoma State University, St. Gregory's Junior College, the University of Tulsa, Oral Roberts University and Oklahoma City University."
