Alice Walton, president and chairman of Llama Company and Associates, spoke to a sellout crowd of 600 students and faculty during Central State University's Career Day luncheon Wednesday. Career Day, an annual event sponsored by the College of Business Administration, allows students the opportunity to meet and
talk informally with company representatives about career information. Sixty-six companies participated in the ninth annual event, said Paul Roach, assistant professor of marketing and co-chairman of the event. Walton said after having various interests, from horsetraining to modeling, she finally discovered something her junior year in college. Please see WALTON on page 8.
OSBI investigation 'active' By David Coppock Student Writer
The Attorney General's audit report of Central State University, expected for the October Board of Regents of Oklahoma Colleges meeting, was not released Friday when the regents met at CSU. "I have no idea when they will be done," said Tom Volturo, regents' internal auditor. "I checked three weeks ago. I should give them a call." Paul Renfrow, public information officer for the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation, said it sounded very routine that the Attorney General would not want to release his report before learning what the OSBI found with their investigation. "Central State is still under very active investigation," said Renfrow. "We have taken a room—a meeting room—and have turned it into a war room just for the CSU investigation, with charts and graphs." "This is very time consuming. We have to go examine these things from every single angle," said Renfrow. "It is a paper- trail type of investigation." Renfrow said the 8-month OSBI investigation is probing two items: allegations of misuse of
state employees' time and using state funds for the CSU Foundation for private use. Oklahoma's confidentiality statute specifically prohibits any OSBI report from becoming public record. OSBI's report will be turned over to the Attorney General's office when completed. In another investigative matter, neither Linda Grantham, audit committee head for regents, nor Volturo have received a letter requesting a special audit into CSU handling of termination of parttime instructors for the fall semester. In other business, Regents approved the purchase of five Online Computer Library Center computer systems for the CSU Library for $25,820 as required by OCLC for continued membership, $8,799 for a photographic color print processing system, $5,000 for a research grade compound microscope for the biology department. Regents' approved $17,000 for an expanded automated telephone attendant. Joyce Mounce, administrative vice president, described the system as having the ability to play recordings of information such as class closings due to weather to those calling the university. Mounce felt the price was not high when compared with paying an employee year after year for the same service.
Regents were informed by American Fidelity, current insurance carrier, that rates will rise every six months by ten percent or more due to current trends in the industry. Employee rates will automatically rise January 1, 1990 due to an agreement between American Fidelity and regents. "American Fidelity's ten percent offer looks good to me," said CSU President Bill Lillard.
Regent Gerald Hoeltzel said the way the state insurance plan is set up, it is losing millions of dollars currently and he expects major coverage changes in the policy soon. Regent Wayne Salisbury expects those changes to be a major upheaval in costs and coverage. Regents extended the Drug Free Workplace Policy beyond federal requirements to include all CSU
employees as well as those of the other universities governed by the regents. Federal law requires that any entity asking or receiving a federal grant or contract of $25,000 or more must have a drug-free workplace policy for employees connected with the grant or contract. All six universities governed by regents have a drug-free workplace policy in place.
Varsity status, Senate funding unlikely for CSU soccer club By Bill Kramer Staff Writer
Athletic director 'Skip' Wagnon said Thursday that Central State University will not add an additional varsity sport due to the lack of funding for athletics. The CSU soccer club is seeking non-scholarship varsity status in an attempt to lure more players to the program and attain necessary funding, said Andrew Smith, player and secretary. The team now competes in a league at Chico's Indoor Soccer Arena in Oklahoma City as they have been doing since 1987, however the club needs $350 to cover
fees for the spring, he said. The soccer club approached the Student Senate this fall in hopes of attaining funding for the spring league, Smith said. David Slane, Senate speaker, promised the soccer club $100 Oct. 30 from his contingency fund, however, the Senate expressed dissatisfaction with the idea, he said. "Anytime they (Senate) disagrees with me, they can remove me as the speaker. I have to be careful or I'll lose my job. The issue was sent to committee, and before Christmas break, they'll try to have the money," Slane said. Vice president of the Senate, Monte Townsend, said he is in
support of the soccer club and hopes they become a varsity team, but they should be looking elsewhere for funding. "If we cannot find another way, David Slane can give them up to $100. I don't see why they can't fend for themselves for the other $250," Townsend said. By collecting membership fees from players, the team was able to compete during the fall semester, but now the team is in financial difficulty once again, Smith said. "We collected a $5 membership fee and an additional $10 for those players on the 'A' team in order to pay the $350 gate fee to play in the league (for the fall semester), but now we badly need a sponsor," Smith said.

Viewpoints Surrounded by water and nary a drop to drink By Mark Mitchell Managing Editor Once there was, in the history of TVland, a program about war and peace and people. The program was M*A*S*H. Remember when Hawkeye and Trapper wanted an incubator? Easy enough, fill out a form and zip, enter one incubator, suitable for germs. Right? Wrong. First the supply sergeant's argument that he couldn't give them one of the three machines on hand, because then he'd only have two. He based this on the "Three's Better than Two Rule." From there, in pursuit of their germs a' la incubator dream, they entered the chain-ofcommand maze which took them far from home... Onward and upward, frustration fueling desire. At a top-level press conference they were arrested for asking incubator questions, a subject not on the agreed-upon agenda. Go back to square one. And no you can't have no dam' incubator neither!!! Well, they got their incubator through a little initiative and priority recognition by "Radar" O'Reilley who fearlessly traded Colonel Blake's barbeque for the machine. Reality check: Central State University, Edmond, Okla.: In the beginning a group of people wanted to play league soccer and
$350 was required to do so. Seemed simple, right? Wrong. In this, the Year of Enrolling Dangerously, the soccer club has expanded on its simple wish of playing the game to initiating a varsity program. Somehow $350 does not appear as a realistic dollar amount when looking at varsity sport programming. Arguing the sport would draw students from domestic and international sectors is valid, but realize this; varsity soccer is not going to happen on this campus in 1990. Consider the following: (A.) The soccer club— decide whether to play in the spring and work to that end or sit out while the issue dies a slow death in the Student Association Senate. (B.)The senate— pull the varsity resolution out of the "How to Really Complicate Things Committee," and initiate some lowprofile, diligent research on the matter with members of the administration, athletic department and soccer club. (C.) The speaker— three leadership examples: commit to the $100 offer, write the check and stop worrying about losing your job. Do what's right for those you represent. Just maybe the university would be one step closer to having a varsity soccer team. (D.)Failing A,B and C of course, the soccer club could go to the senate's "Blizzard of Bucks,"...they're giving away $500 over there.
Reader rebuttal, complaints aired Greeks unhappy about coverage Dear Editor: It has come to my attention that The Vista does not reflect an overall coverage of our campus! It seems the Greek system at Central State University might as well be non-existent as far as The Vista is concerned. Let me enlighten you on a few things. First of all, there were two fraternities that were very involved in UniversityFest and the fraternities placed first (ATO) and second (TICE). Second, all Greek houses are constantly involved with philanthropy. Most recently was the Special Care Day for kids at Remington Park and also the Cure Paralysis Volleyball Tournament during the fall 1989 Greek Week. Speaking of Greek Week, I know first-hand that we turned in a schedule of events (on the proper form) and nothing was printed. We appreciate all of the reporters who call for interviews, but if nothing ever gets printed, why bother? During Greek Week (Oct. 30-Nov. 3) we hosted a number of events. The one with the most publicity was the Stuff-AYugo event. The event had major coverage by TV stations, newspapers and campus publications, but The Vista chose to ignore that anything ever happened or existed. When it comes to participa-
tion on campus and community service in Edmond, the Greeks are always the first in line to be an active part. A majority of our campus leaders at CSU are Greeks. As a Greek, I know from talking to others in the system that we are tired of being ignored and put off. The Vista cannot claim to be a student newspaper until equal coverage is given to the entire campus! I guess we need to set up an interview with President (Bill) Lillard. He's the only person who gets proper coverage in our campus newspaper. The Vista?

Abortion issue rebuttal offered To the Editor: Congratulations on taking a one-paragraph announcement for a pro-choice rally and expanding it to eight paragraphs utilizing two columns. Whether one is pro-choice or pro-life, hopefully, all of us are against child abuse. The ones who commit these types of crimes should be prosecuted. When I hear of a newborn or any child being left in a dumpster, a grocery cart, or abused, once again I am reminded of the decaying value placed on human life. Why did you not mention the thousands of phone calls from all across the nation of people offering to help with expenses and wanting to adopt the
abandoned baby in Norman? For those wanting to adopt a child, the bureaucratic red tape does impede adoptions, as two of my sisters found out. But, for those giving up the babies for adoption, the paper work was relatively simple: signing some forms. Costs for having the baby was completely paid for by each sister and her respective husband. Why would you want statistics to verify that some child abuse might be eliminated if abortion was accessible. Many of the recent cases are showing that child abuse is coming from sources originally thought to be safe. The reason child abuse is, as you put it, "mysteriously absent from current debate," pro-choice does not recognize life until birth, therefore, there is no child abuse involved. Pro-life supporters do believe a fetus to be new life, therefore abortion certainly falls with child abuse, but taking a life is the issue. American citizens do have a right to a private life, until they no longer keep it private and involve other lives. The Constitution does not give me the right to disregard the rights of another person, accidentally or not. Business Law has taught me that deadly force can be justified when used in selfdefense, if there is a reasonable belief that eminent death or grievous bodily harm will result, if the attacker is using unlawful force.
If you do not recognize a fetus to be an individual life, or if you believe your own rights exceed the rights of another at any cost, then abortion is a viable choice (prochoice). However, if you do recognize a fetus to be an individual human being, then no one has the right to use deadly force against another (pro-life). Why are we surprised at the increase in crime from uncaring, selfish people, while our nation debates the most innocent of all victims? Violent crime is a tragedy, whether rape or child abuse, we all agree. But, I find it hard to believe that one can justify the other.

Senate behavior `uninteresting' To the Editor: The recent "mud slinging" between Randy Terrill and our Student Association President Joe Stehr, is very uninteresting child's play. Please guys, stop! The ad hominem attacks upon one another should remain between yourselves. Most students don't care, while others have a good laugh.

How will the latest developments affect other communist nations?
Schweizer: Given the present stance of the East German government, and given the attitude of the new forum, which is this nebulous political group that really doesn't have any particular leader, and given their attitude toward the idea of re-unification, which is negative, I'm skeptical. Especially since the idea has come up, there have been some negative rumblings concerning German reunification, not to mention that

The state of state education Family priority not always school says education dean By David Coppock Student Writer
Dr. Kenneth Elsner, dean of the College of Business (Photo by Dan Smith)
Questions: 1) What are the main problems schools are facing today? 2) Do you think discipline is over emphasized? 3) Are schools doing a good job turning teenagers into adults? 4) What should colleges emphasize in making a better teacher in relating with students? 5) Would your classroom teacher be a better teacher if he or she had a pay raise? 6) Would making the school year ten days longer make a better student? 7) Did high school do a good job preparing you for the real world?
Responses:
Even before Thomas Jefferson advocated the first public education system for Virginia, Americans have debated how their schools should operate. Oklahoma's Task Force 2000 has given the state legislature suggestions for basic changes within the Oklahoma education system. Dr. Kenneth Elsner, dean of the College of Education at Central State University, holds several strong opinions and observations on American education, its thrust, and how it compares with the education systems of other countries America now finds itself competing with. Elsner became dean in 1975, after earning his bachelor of science degree from Oklahoma Baptist University in Shawnee in 1957, his master's degree in education from the University of Oklahoma in 1962, and his doctorate from the University of Oklahoma in 1969. The Vista interviewed Elsner Tuesday about the state of educaton in Oklahoma.
Q: Many people we interviewed in our survey felt their high school was too collegeoriented, giving prefered attention to college-bound students. Do you feel that's true? A: That's a fairly accurate estimation of Edmond. The requirements—the reforms—now going through our public education system are aimed at preparing people for college. Education tends to swing like a pendulum. There was a time schools believed you should be prepared for the work force, thus you had a workstudy program. President Reagan and Secretary Bennett were pushing for a college-prep program. In the late '50s, comprehensive high schools were large enough for both goals. Probably in the next ten or 15 years only 30 percent of the jobs are going to require a four-year college degree. That's not to say a higher level of skills won't be required. We should be careful not to set up barriers for those who want less than four years of college. Q: But, will America be able to compete with other countries eco-
nomically if we don't stress college as a goal in high schools? A: We now have business making decisions that should be in our education system. Fifteen-yearolds should not be developed for the needs of Kodak, but their interests need to be developed in, say, the fine arts. One of the things we teach in school is how to understand life and appreciate things around them, like art—developing skills to release some of the stress people experience these days. The Japanese are learning they need recreational facilities for their work force to release stress. This idea that a lack of competition of American businesses can be traced to a lack of success of American schools is not true. Look at business. They have not lead the way to modernize. Q: One complaint we heard, ranging from high school administrators to students, was that teachers coming out of college lack the ability to communicate with students. Is this true in your experience?

1) Way too many drugs in high school today. I believe kids aren't getting the education kids used to be getting. 2) Probably over emphasized. 3) No, it seems they have more or less for college than for the outside world. 4) I'd say communication. Now days teaching is all they know how to do. 5) No, if they're going to hold out due to a pay raise, they don't need to be a teacher anyway. 6) No, what's the difference. 7) I did that all on my own. They train you only for college.
1) Size is a problem. Not giving individual students enough attention. 2) Discipline is surprisingly good. 3) A student's going to get out of it what a student puts in it. 4) Impatience-personal attention isn't always very good. 5) Probably not. 6) What's ten days going to do. 7) Maybe for college, but not for getting a job.
1) Most will say it's drugs, but I'd say self discipline of students and I'd put it as the breakdown of the family. 2) Parents underemphasize it so have to do it. 3) Majority of cases we are. The problem kids I don't know. 4) Human relation skills - they don't know how to relate to kids, the parents, and the general public. Maybe a minor in counseling. 5) Not necessarily with a pay raise: no. Yes, they're underpaid. 6) No not necessarily. If a student doesn't complete work on time then they are required to attend summer school. 7) I think they did, I think they emphasized more self-discipline back then.
1) The school's ranking on the list of priorities. Working and extra curricular activities come first. 2) In this school it's about right. 3) I'm not sure that's a school's job. I don't think we give the opportunities for them for that in school. 4) I see teachers who are experts in the field but need human relations and you can't teach that. 5) Much better attitude about teaching. A lot of time I had to work sixty hours a week at my other job. I'd be better motivated. 6) No, I'd say give me all 180 days and take out what gets kids out of class during the day. 7) Yea, I'd say they really did.
1) Drugs. Not enough parents discipline their kids. 2) Overemphasize - We had more paperwork and not enough time to listen to the teacher. 3) No. 4) Talk on our level-act human. 5) Probably, they would of felt more positive about their job. 6) No, I wouldn't have worked any harder. 7) No, but I didn't have any classes for it-just experience taught me.

Disabled students get vocational assistance By David Coppock Student Writer One hundred seventy Central State University handicapped students and 20 handicapped nonstudents are provided services through the Vocational Rehabilitation Center operated by the Oklahoma Department of Human Resources, located in University Center, Room 105. Lynn Holdsclaw, the center's counselor, believes 60 percent of her case load is severely handicapped. The phrase "severely handicapped" is used for individuals who have functional limitations preventing them from carrying out certain tasks in the working world. "If someone's mobility is impaired, can't physically walk, or has a loss of balance, we classify them as severe," said Holdsclaw. "People wander in here all the time saying they had just heard about us," says Holdsclaw. "But, usually the Finance Office refers them to us." "I'm sure there are people out there on campus who haven't
heard of us, but at some point they learn of us by word of mouth; handicapped people talking with each other," said Holdsclaw. Holdsclaw's job calls for sitting down with the CSU student and choosing a major fitting not only the individual's goals, but around one's physical limitations. "What we look at are things like are the courses on the fourth floor and can they reach that classroom," said Holdsclaw. "The college is so aware of it as a problem, I don't need to intervene usually." Yet, reaching some of the classrooms has been a problem for her clients, causing a reshuffling of classes taken. "We try to be upfront on ruling out what is unrealistic. We're not going to use taxpayers' money for them to strive for a goal that doesn't make sense for them," she said. Holdsclaw works with the disabled to set a goal rather than imposing one on them, she said. The spectrum of majors being pursued by her clients is wide ranging rather than concentrated in one particular field traditionally labeled for the handicapped, such as accounting.
"It takes a certain amount of time to accept a disability if it's new," said Holdsclaw. "When they're ready to come to college, they're ready to build their life up again." In addition to counseling and guidance for the handicapped, the Vocational Rehabilitation Center provides for medical examinations; medical, surgical, or hospital care for removing or reducing the individual's handicap, if possible; help in obtaining limbs, braces, hearing aids, and eyeglasses; job training through trade, vocational schools, on-the-job, as well as college; interpreter services for the deaf and hearing impaired; and mechanical aids to small businesses for employing the handicapped. Funding for the Vocational Rehabilitation Center is 80 percent federal and 20 percent state support.

College of Business needs motto, logo By Jo Pydynkowsky Student Writer
During enrollment, handicapped CSU students should be advised by Holdsclaw first on how much financial assistance they can obtain from the Vocational program before going to the Financial Aid Office.
Central State University's College of Business Administration is sponsoring two contests, one for development of a motto and one for a logo that will represent the college during and after CSU's Centennial. The motto contest is open to all students currently enrolled in business courses, business majors, and business faculty. Entries should be submitted on "I think it is important to remember that we won this award 8 1/2 x 11 paper and must be 10 with 13 students while other words or less.

Lady Bronchos win opener By Bill Kramer
Staff Writer The debut of the 1989-'90 Central State University basketball team was a success for all but one Lady Broncho as CSU handed Fort Hays State University (Kan.) an 81-69 loss Nov. 17 in the Broncho Field House. For 5-11 senior center Albertine Jennings, out with an expected season-ending knee injury sustained in pre-season practice, the season will be all but joyous. However, Broncho head coach John Keely said the team can hopefully overcome Jennings' absence. "It's going to be really tough without her. We have a lot of other good talent though who I think will be able to pick up the slack," Keely said.
"Pick up the slack" they did after defeating a Fort Hays State team that was 19-8 a year ago as dual members of NAIA and NCAA Div. II and has four starters returning. The Lady Bronchos overcame a 34-34 tie at the half and took the lead for good on Shawn Williams' three-point basket with 18:15 left in the game. Williams, a 5-4 senior guard from Lakeview High School in Garland, Texas, connected on five three-point shots for the evening and led CSU in scoring with 17 points. Other CSU starters Paula Peteet and Lisa Lowden scored 12 points, while Rae Martin had seven points and Paula Ryan, four points. Coming off the bench to spark the Lady Bronchos was 5-8 junior guard Shene Murphy with 11
Murphy along with 5-9 junior guard Kristi Heglin with seven points. Rounding out the CSU scoring, Trenda Monnanhan and Gwen Porter each scored four, and Yolanda McCurtain scored three points. Fort Hays State was led by Julie Kizzar's 24 points and Annette Wiles' 16 points. Keely praised the efforts of his team following the game. "They were fantastic. They played hard, and they played well. We have a lot of depth on this team. That's a key," Keely said. The Lady Bronchos will be in action again at 6 p.m. Dec. 6 when they host Pittsburg State (Kan.) in the Broncho Field House.

Bronchos successful in 1989 exhibition By John Lukehart
Sports Editor Central State University, led by Sean McCall's 31 points, never trailed Fort Sill en route to posting a 116-89 exhibition victory Nov. 14 in the Broncho Field House. McCall led all scorers with 31 points, including 3 of 3 from three-point land, and pulled down 11 rebounds in only 20 minutes of playing time. Five Bronchos ended the game in double figures. Marlon Brown and Bobby Harris scored 20 and 19 points, respectively. Shawn Williams added 17, while Roy Robins finished the game with 13 points.
Four other Bronchos also contributed in the scoring. Offensively, the Bronchos were impressive, shooting 61 percent from the field. CSU will be in action again at 8 p.m. tonight in the Broncho Field House when they host Tabor (Kan.).

Coach Parent, Thinclads `learning' at Nationals By John Lukehart
Sports Editor
Last weekend Central State University sent three cross country runners to the NCAA Div. II Cross Country National Championships in East Stroudsburg, PA., a first for the CSU program. Cross country coach Paul Parent called it a learning experience. "It was a real learning experience for us," Parent said. "We were learning cross country in the NCAA. We had to worry about the little things, it was nerve-racking for our runners." "It was our first trip to nationals (NCAA Div. II)," Parent said. "We were worrying about our hotel reservations, race check-in and the race." For the Broncho men, Dwayne Antonio, senior, finished the 10,000-meter course in 33:01, placing him 31st overall and 28th toward All-America recognition. Kyle Skartwed, sophomore, finished with a time of 33:40 placing 54th overall.
Antonio missed All-America recognition by three places. The three-place reduction from overall to All-America was due to three foriegn runners not being eligible for All-America status, Parent said. Parent said the competition was very good. "The competition was fantastic," Parent said. "It was the best of the best. Going in, it was anybody's race; the kids are getting better every year." Parent said the course was as difficult as any course the Bronchos had run this year. "The course was tremendously tough," Parent said. "There were four big hills throughout the course, but what hurt was the last hill. Coming into the five-mile mark the final hill was almost straight down, tremendously tough." Although the course was difficult, Parent said the weather was perfect for running. "The temperature was about 36 or 37 degrees, not much wind, great weather for running," Parent said.
For the Lady Bronchos Kevette Smargiassi was the lone participant.
Wednesday, Nov. 22—Wrestling SIU-Edwardsville, 7:30 p.m,
Parent praised Smargiassi's performance. "Kevette ran comparable to how she has run all year," Parent said. "She is used to running hills, she grew up in Washington. She ran as well as she could run." Lone Star Conference members Abilene Christian University and Angelo St. qualified for the meet with team championships in the Southern Regional meet. Abilene Christian, who earned the men's automatic team berth through a tie-breaker with CSU, fmished 17th in team standings. In the women's race Angelo St. represented the Lone Star Conference. Angelo St., after running to easy victories in the conference and regional meets, came away with 11th place as a team.

WALTON Continued from page 1 "I took statistics and something changed, something clicked. The numbers and statistics drew pictures for me, pictures that I could relate to. "I had discovered something special and something that I liked," said Walton. "My goal in life was to become a financial analyst." Walton said that she shared this because students are good at what they enjoy. In reference to her famous father, Sam Walton, she said, "My dad always told us: 'Just remember one thing. You can do anything that you think you're big enough to do. Just think it through first. Walton said that the Llama Company, so named for her pet llama, Leroy, is concentrating its efforts in this region. She said the company is concerned with increasing the tax base, job qualities and education development in Oklahoma and the surrounding area. Walton made reference to a current project, a $140 million recycling plant in Muskogee that is nearing completion. "Because of the economic problems that have existed in Okla-

Walton said that those students considering careers in financial areas should be proud of what they do. "Whatever career path that fits: art, science, education or business, I challenge you to explore and do anything. "Our careers are a major part of our paths through life. If you don't try it on, you won't know if it fits," Walton said. In an interview before the speech Walton said that she was very impressed with the organization of the event, as well as the number of companies that were invited. When asked what qualities Walton would look for in hiring she said that creativity and work ethic were most important. "Students should try different things and when their likes and talents meet, they will find their career," she said. And what about her father, Sam? "He's the best daddy in the world," she said.

A: It's a key to success. Written and oral communication skills are used for evaluation for admittance here at Central State. You can't get around that. If you can't communicate your knowledge to a 15-year-old, you are an ineffective teacher. There is a marked cultural difference between our student body and those of Japan and Korea. Young people in the U.S. are more spontaneous in their behavior and thus more creative when they are out. Q: The administrators over at Edmond High felt the root of a lot of their problems with students stemmed from the fact the family unit has broken down. Do you feel this is true?

Yet, 65 percent of the student body was from one- family units with the mother as the parent. Not a single role model for them to relate to for a father figure. Very few young men are going into elementary education. We tried to recruit them but we were not successful. Q: But, what of the complaint from former high school students that the teacher's attention was directed at the college-bound and not toward those not going on to college? A:Education should be lifelong. 15- and 16-year-olds drop out and by age 27 have a different outlook. They should be able to get back into the education system.

A:I just finished being a part of an evaluation team for the North Central Accredation Board looking into Oklahoma City schools. I'd say of the 238 students we saw, 137 lived in a one-parent family unit with that parent being the mother and 156 were from one-parent units overall. Single parents don't give the support. It's not that they don't want to, but they have to make a living. And it's had an impact on our school system. Therefore schools are going to have to adjust school methods to expand the school day by two hours and the school year to 200 days or more.
