For Brisch, the issue of a reunited Germany is not as great as the fact that in 1992 Western Europe will Part one of two parts unite economically with West Germany.

Long enrollment lines detained students up to two-and-a-half hours Wednesday, in spite of a projected decline in enrollment this semester, said Darrell Gilliland, director of admissions and records. Gilliland said the talk about classes has caused undo concern among students. As a result, students are enrolling earlier, causing pre-enrollment to seem higher than usual. "The admission requirements have changed, so I don't expect
enrollment to be up," Gilliland said. Central State University now requires all students to have completed core curriculum, and the change has brought about a problem for many students. Gilliland said students from the metropolitan area who have not completed the core curriculum are feeling the changes. "Many students have to go to junior college (rather than a fouryear school) to get their schooling," he said. Although CSU's preenrollment is nearing 8,000 stuPlease see LINES on page 8.
Minority counseling needs discussed By Kamal Mazlan Staff Writer The potential dropout rate among minority ethnic groups in public schools and colleges will increase if multicultural counseling is not made a "must," rather than a "should," according to speakers at a multicultural counseling seminar Thursday in Old North. Teenage suicide, drug and alcohol misuse, child abuse, and children of alcoholics were some of the issues discussed at the two-andone-half hour seminar, which included a question-and-answer session. The seminar theme, "Multicultural awareness for counseling in public schools," was attended by
60 students in the master's program in guidance and counseling in the College of Education. Dr. Steven Pratt, assistant professor of oral communication; Patricia Fennell, from the Oklahoma State Department of Health; Wendolyn Maxwell, from Oklahoma Christian College; and Dr. Champa Ranebeneur, a Bethany clinical psychologist, were the seminar speakers. More than 200 CSU students are currently enrolled in the counseling master's program, Johnson said. However, Blacks, Hispanics, Native Americans and Asians comprised less than 5 percent of the program students. "The seminar's objective is to enable prospective counselors in public schools to know and to use Please see PANEL on page 8.

What is wrong with this picture

By DeWayne Smoot Editor in chief
The crime rate continues to climb. People sit locked in rooms—rooms in their houses—afraid to go out in public; even worse, they're afraid someone will come in their houses and get them. Now, it's popular to blame the irresponsible use of drugs, but that, too, is only a symptom of the disease.
The cancer eating away at the core of society is man himself. Even those who are employeed by tax dollars to uphold the law believe themselves to be above the law. It's a very sad situation, indeed, when children can't even look up to those who are employeed to serve and protect our communities as role models. If the policeman above is so flagrant in his ways to openly and flambouyantly taunt his disregard for the law, just how far does he overstep these social and moral grounds when nobody is watching?

University's ethics, policies scorned To the Editor: I read with great interest the letter from the student who was both angry and disgusted with our football athlete, Mike Bennett and his drug charges in the Sept. 19 issue of The Vista. Zac brought up several issues for which I believe, unfortunately, Central State University has already established precedents. The precedents were set earlier this year in accepting questionable behavior. Zac challenged CSU's stand on controversial issues. He also stated athletes were role models to our community, and lastly, he questioned the judgement of both the individual involved and athletic department. On Jan. 3 of this year, at approxiamately 8 p.m., William Parker, director of the criminal justice program, a professor of criminal justice and assistant dean of the College of Liberal Arts appeared drunk at the apartment door of a former CSU student. He forced himself into the premises and, literally, almost choked Edwinna Sue Madden to death. He used enough violent force to leave black and blue marks on the woman's neck. He is a representative of Central State University. Any behavior outside of our university that reflects unfavorably, especially in the areas of ethics and role model visability, should have been addressed. To reiterate where CSU stood on this controversial issue, let me
quote Clyde Jacob, vice president of academic affairs, in The Daily Oklahoman on June 28, 1989: "This type of situation would be beyond the university's level of involvement. The outcome of the criminal charge would not bring university action because Parker didn't violate university policy." Jacob went on to say, "I don't want to give the impression that the university doesn't want to encourage professionalism ... but the university wants to respond appropriately where university policy applies." Does university policy condone and reinforce violence against women by allowing William Parker to remain in the elevated status of assistant dean of the college of liberal arts—a position that holds stature among his peers and subordinates? Why doesn't Central State University merely have him step down from this position and simply limit his duties to teaching? Does university policy condone the use of illegal drugs by allowing Mike Bennett to remain active on the football team? Two issues aie at stake with Central State's reputation: • First, violence, an act that is immoral and usually based on ignorance, hate and anger, • And second, drugs, a major contributing factor to many of our society's problems. I encourage everyone to express their outrage at Central State University's apathy directly with Dr.

To the Editor: Concerning Career Day '89, the fliers said "this event will take place on Wednesday, November 15th, from 8:30 a.m. until 2:30 p.m. „ I arrived at the University Center at 1:15 p.m. armed with eight resumes for the eight companies involved in my field. You can understand my surprise to see a stream of representatives heading down the stairs. I asked one of them why they were leaving before 2:30 and he jokingly said they were on east coast time. Only one company of my targeted eight companies was there and they were only interviewing freshmen and sophomores, due to a current hiring freeze. I asked them why the other companies left early and they informed me that "nothing much happens after lunch." In my opinion this was a lost opportunity and a total waste of this student's time.

would like to thank you for giving us the necessary publicity to make students aware of soccer's existance. Students now realize that Central State University does have a team. As a member of the soccer team, I represent not only the team, but the school each time I step out on the field. How that is perceived by others is to be seen on the field whether we win or not. (Yes, we did win a couple of games this fall).
To the student body: You do have a say in what you wish to have here at this university since you do provide the school with money. Without you, the student body, this school would not exist for long. With your voice, you can do whatever you want as long as there is a large amount of people in that group representing the majority.

Continued from page 2 "club" recognition. I really don't blame them for staying away from the club since it will take them nowhere with their talents. We do have a large number of players on campus who do not play due to the fact that we, CSU, do not have a varsity soccer team, not to mention the unaccounted number of high school students who will graduate with soccer as a varsity sport. To the administration: I propose that you look at the number of international students we do have. How many of them play American football? They grew up with soccer as a way of life. Wouldn't it be feasible to grab as many international students as possible from all over the world to come and try out for the varsity soccer team? Wouldn't you think that this would give an edge over other schools since we would have players that started when they were children? Wouldn't this increase the number of students each semester? We're losing a small percentage of students in this area, and with this season's football record we're bound to lose even more. How about setting a goal to shoot for in the near future? Why can't we have a varsity soccer team by 1991? By that spring of '91 we will have been able to define what "varsity" status entitles as well as the cost to support a varsity soccer team. It can't be much compared to football with its uniform cost for nearly 50 players, hotel fees and other travel expenses as opposed to 15 players for soccer. We could use another outdoor sport where we can make use of the football field and perhaps attract people at "home" to come and watch.
Poli-Sri classes quizzed Can you name the the world's worst dictators today? Political science guru John George has compiled a list of the world's 12 dirtiest dictators because he said many Central State University students are not fully aware of contemporary political issues.

SA President opted to attack, not defend To the Editor: It seems as though Student Association President Joe Stehr recently resurrected the original political axiom that worked so well for him in the S.A. Presidential election last spring: When one does not possess any genuine, positive attributes of his own, resort to fallacious ad hominem attacks on those outspoken people who disagree. Such was the case with both editorials, written by Joe Stehr and Timothy Heflin, respectfully, which appeared in the Nov. 14 issue of The Vista. The letters were saturated with misrepresentations of fact, skewed in such a way as to perpetuate the assasination of my character. Sources close to the president told me that was the sole intent of the letters written by President Stehr and Senator Heflin. Both "mud-slinging" editorials were apparently written in response to my letter published in the Nov. 2 issue of The Vista which criticized them for not supporting the soccer club and appropriately labeled them anti-athletic. CSU students should not find it unusual that instead of refuting their "Anti-Athletic" label, they personally attacked me. I guess that is there tacit acknowledgement to the student body that they really are anti-athletic. Randal Don Terrill

Concert to feature Sioux tenor By Debbie Blossom Student Writer The Central Oklahoma Concert Series will present tenor White Eagle, a member of the Sioux tribe from the Rosebud Indian Reservation in South Dakota, in concert 8 p.m. Saturday in Mitchell Hall. The concert series is sponsored by the Chopin Society of MidAmerica, a community organization that brings in professional performers, said Jan Steele, president of the society. White Eagle, who has a varied background in gospel, pop and sacred music, started singing when he was quite young. "Being a minister's son, I grew up singing in church," White Eagle said. "When I was five years old, I saw Mario Lanza on television. I couldn't express it then, but I knew that I wanted to do for others what Mario Lanza did for me. From that moment on, singing was all I ever dreamed of doing." White Eagle began classical voice lessons in 1983, and in 1985 graduated from the Merola Opera Program at the San Fransico Op-
era, Steele said, where he went on to perform with regional opera companies. "He's the most exciting new tenor I've heard in some time," said John Gage, director of the Florentine opera company in Milwaukee. White Eagle has since added musical theater to his repertoire, starring in "West Side Story" in 1988, and "The Three Penny Opera" in 1989, Steele said, and gives classical and sacred recitals. Most recently, White Eagle sang the finale for the 1989 Presidential Inaugural Gala in Washington, D.C., with the Morman Tabernacle Choir, giving an estimated live television audience of 200 to 300 million people the chance to hear his voice, Steele said. Between performances, White Eagle spends part of his time and resources at the Marrles Moore Home for orphaned and troubled Indian youth that his father established on their Reservation, and wants to build a performing arts center for young American Indians there. "I want more than anything to return in kind the faith and encour-
White Eagle
agement my father gave me," White Eagle said. Tickets for this concert will be available at the door after 7:30 p.m. for $10, college students other than CSU for $5, and schoolaged children will be admitted free with an adult ticket holder. White Eagle will present an additional holiday concert for the younger crowd at 10:30 a.m. the same day, featuring pop, broadway, and Christmas music. A donation of $5 or a small child's holiday gift is being requested for admission, which will benefit needy children in the Edmond area and at the Marrles Moore Home. For information, call 341-4422 or 348-3664.
Candidate urges reform By Joe Dobry Student Writer
Jerry D. Brown, Republican candidate for the 1990 Oklahoma gubernatorial race, said misappropriation of funds earmarked for education accounts for the present crisis in Oklahoma education. Brown, who ran for governor as an independent in 1986, told the Central State University College Republicans Nov. 7 increasing taxes to improve education isn't necessary because sufficient funds should already exist. "I think there have been some education funds misappropriated and put in places that they shouldn't have been. There are monies appropriated for one thing that are found in other places," said Brown. "It's amazing when they find sums like $80 million they didn't know they had," Brown said. Brown said he opposes raising taxes. "Our forefathers left England first to be able to worship God freely and secondly to escape the persecution through high taxes over there," Brown said. In education, Brown said he advocates reform that restores accountability, basics in curricula, and character. Brown said he supported the creation of magnet schools, regular assessment programs of teacher and student performances, and a return to the basics in school curriculums. "I would like to see English, history, science, math, geography, and the classics in education again," said Brown. Brown also supports the rightof-prayer in public schools.
"Prayer and the scriptures have been taken out of the school. Education must also focus on moral development," he said. Brown said the United States owes much to religion. Another problem is the size of Oklahoma state government, he said. "The government is too big in terms of the amount of people in our government," said Brown. Brown said state government, as a whole, employs many unproductive workers. "There are people on the payroll
The Central Oklahoma Computer Applications Institute will hold a workshop at Central State University on Neural Networks from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Dec. 9 in the north Business Building, Room 107. COCAI is an institute hoping to further understanding of computer application across campus, said Dr. David Chance, professor of psychology. "One of the goals behind this workshop is to show that CSU is at the forefront in preparing students for the future of computers," said Chance. Neural Networking is a subhead of artificial intelligence: programming computers to simulate the human brain in the communication of neurons with each other. This process is carried out through the use of linear and matrix algebra sending input signals through the computer which eventually connect with output, he said. Some uses of neural networking include: helping to understand pattern recognition tasks, language processing, character recognition, handwritting recognition, target classification (such as
recognizing enemy aircraft), noise filtering (such as the electroencephalograph, or EKG signals) and financial and economic modeling, he said. "An example would be, how we look at a 'W' and not see two `Vs,'" said Chance. "Neural Networking is the hottest thing in cognitive psychology today because it actually studies how the human brain learns," said Chance. Presenters at the workshop will be John Y. Cheung, Ph.D, associate professor in the school of electrical engineering and computer science at the University of Oklahoma and Kaveh Ashenayi, assistant professor in electrical engineering at the University of Tulsa. "We are going to attempt to teach students and faculty the fundamentals of how to use two neural network programs," said Chance. The workshop is open to anyone who is interested. The cost will be $55 for students and $110 for faculty. Both students and faculty are advised to purchase the $40 text, which includes two software disks. Send all fees to Kaveh Ashenayi, KASA Engineering, 2860 E. 51 St., Apt. A, Tulsa, 74105. It is requested that fees be sent this week, however fees will also be accepted at the door.

Brown, as an example, said the California State Department of Education employs about 200 people while the Oklahoma Department of Education employs about 600 people.

Regents alter English competency standards By Kemal Mazlan Staff Writer
• score 460 on the TOEFL administered at a state regents' approved English language center or

Edney said in addition to meeting standard admission requirements, these students may qualify for undergraduate admission to a state college or university, like Central State University, if they meet one or more of these guidelines:
Graduate students who apply for first-time admission at the graduate level are required to score 550 on the TOEFL to meet the language standards for admission to university graduate programs, Edney said.
• provide evidence that they attended an English-speaking high school and successfully completed the core curriculum in English; • achieve a score of 500 or better on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL);
Math club to give $125 spring scholarship By James Jackson Student Writer
In the last meeting of the semester, the Central State University math club discussed plans to award a $125 math scholarship for the spring semester. Annette Cozens, president of the math club, said requirements are a minimum of a 3.0 GPA in overall coursework at CSU and a 3.0 GPA in a math-related major. Thirty-two hours of coursework at CSU must be completed to be eligible for the scholarship, she said. Applications for the scholarship will be available in the math department office Jan. 17. Applicants will need a copy of their transcript. Applications are due Feb. 16, Cozens said. The scholarship is being offered to support mathematics and math students, Cozens said. Math club officers and members of the math faculty will decide who receives the scholarship. The club hopes to award the scholarship yearly, but it will depend on math club size and activity, Cozens said. The club is also conducting a survey to determine interests of prospective members. Surveys can be picked up and turned in to the math department office. The first math club meeting for spring semester is tentatively set for Jan. 24. For information on the scholarship or the survey, call Annette Cozens at 733-9814.
However, Edney said, "Students not eligible for graduate admission under these guidelines may be admitted conditionally for one semester at a state institution, if they score 500 or higher on the TOEFL and complete a minimum of 12 weeks of study at an approved English language center or program."
Transfer students who earn a minimum of 36 semester credit hours at an accredited college or university will be admitted on the same basis as other transfer students, Edney said. Edney said the policy changes are intended to assure that students are fully prepared to benefit from the education they seek and that students admitted to an institution have a reasonable chance of success, based on their ability to cornprehend and use spoken and written English. "Previously, the admissions policy required that all students for whom English is a second language present evidence of English language proficiency, which generally means successful passing of the TOEFL, or study at an English language school," Edney said. Edney said the seven approved centers in OKlahoma include the English Language Centers in Edmond, Norman and Oklahoma City.
Campus Crime Briefs The Central State University Police logged the following incidents from 7 a.m. Nov. 20 through 7 a.m. Nov. 29. BURGLARY:
Two residents of East Hall awoke Nov. 20 to find their wallets missing. Danny Walker and Rodney Harmon, roommates in Room A-42, each lost their driver's licenses and some cash. Walker also lost his CSU identification card, which was left in his wallet. The wallets have not yet been returned and no suspects are known in the thefts.
NON-INJURY ACCIDENT: While backing out of a parking space Nov. 20 in the V-1 vistors' parking lot, CSU Campus Police officer Ricky Morales' vehicle was struck on the passenger's side rear quarter panel by another vehicle driven by Robert Jackson of Del City, who was also backing out of a parking space on the opposite side.
Edmond police worked the accident and determined that Jackson
was at fault for improper backing by not paying full attention because
Morales was further out into the traveled lane when the vehicles collided. Jackson was also issued a citation for no proof of insurance, according to police reports. OTHER CALLS: Campus Police responded to three domestic disputes. The first in-
volved quarreling spouses, however, no charges were filed. Campus Police Chief Bob Roberts said the wife is seeking a restraining order on the husband. Another involved a fight between two residents of West Hall at 8:45 p.m. Nov. 27. Toni Gaston apparently told Karen McCaskill that a question asked of her was none of her business. At that point, McCaskill allegedly began hitting Gaston. No charges have been filed. The third involved two CSU students who had a dispute concern-
ing a non-university telephone hooked up without permission of the university, according to police reports. No charges were filed, and the situation was resolved, the report stated.

Lady Bronchos derailed prepare for next game
Coach's Corner
BeWare of the 1990 Heisman
By Randy Anderson
Sports Writer

S
ince Barry Sanders won last year's Heisman Trophy everyone in the sports world has been talking about who would win the next Heisman. Would it be Notre Dame's Tony Rice or West Virginia's Major Harris? The answer: None of the above. Last Saturday afternoon the University of Houston's Andre Ware became the ninth junior, first black quarterback and firstever player from a school on probation to capture the Heisman.
Ware, like last year's winner Sanders of Oklahoma State, forced sports writers to take notice to his performance on the football field this season. Ware set 13 NCAA records this season. In the final game of the 1989 season for the Houston Cougars, Ware completed 36 of 51 passes for 400 yards and two touchdowns, ran for another touchdown, set records for completions in a season, 366; total offense; and passing offense. Ware captured the trophy in the fourth-closest Heisman race in history by edging Indiana's Anthony Thompson by 70 points. Harris and Rice finished a distant third and fourth. Darian Hagan of the University of Colorado, Dee Dowis of Air Force, Emmitt Smith of Florida, Percy Snow of Michigan State, Ty Detmer of Brigham Young, Raghib Ismail of Notre Dame and Blair Thomas of Penn State rounded out the voting. Ware, who led all hopefuls in first-place votes, also was left off more ballots than any of the top-three finishers. This was obviously due to Houston's probation. However, even with his name absent on 286 of the 743 ballots, Ware still captured the crown. Another first was matched in the Heisman voting this year, but unfortuately for Thompson, it wasn't in his favor. Thompson, who set NCAA marks for career touchdowns and points, became the first player to set a NCAA touchdown record and not capture the Heisman. Voting was split across the nation. Ware dominated the voting int the South, Southeast and Northeast. Thompson led on the West coast and in the Midwest. Harris carried the Mid-Atlantic region. So, with just a little less than a year before the next Heisman Trophy winner is announced prepare yourself for all of the Heisman-hype that takes place in the off-season.
As of Dec. 1, Central State University's Women's basketball team was riding the Broncho Express, on the winning track, undefeated at 4-0 until Sunday when the Lady Bronchos traveled to Emporia State, Kan. and had their winning streak derailed by a 61-57 defeat. Tomorrow, the Lady Bronchos will try to get back on the winning track when they play host to Pittsburg (Kansas) State at 6 p.m. in the Broncho Field House. During their last meeting in the Pittsburg State Classic the Lady Bronchos dominated Pittsburg 90-67 securing their fourth victory of the season. CSU leads the series 2-1, including a 1988-89 season 67-65 victory. Several Lady Bronchos including Paula Peteet, Lisa Lowden and Yoland McCurtain found success, in the last meeting, scoring in double figures.

To date, the Lady Bronchos have been led in scoring and rebounding by senior Paula Peteet. Peteet, a fashion merchandising major from Dallas, Texas has averaged 15.2 points and 9.2 rebounds a game. Peteet has had help from teammate Shawn Williams who has averaged 13.2 points a game. Williams, a senior general studies major, started 19 of 27 games last season for the Lady Bronchos and led the Lone Star Conference in 3-pointers made per game averag-

Grapplers crown 5 champs By John Lukehart Sports Editor After the Central State University wrestlers posted three convincing victories over Southernlllinois-Edwardsville, Fort Hayes State and Western State of Colorado last week, CSU's grappler; collected five of the 10 championships at the Fort Hayes State Open last weekend in Hays, Kan. Shawn Fleming, senior, captured the 118-pound championship with a major decision (14-6) over Jeff Sill of Labette. CSU 's crowned its next champion when Jeff Gowens, junior, captured the 134-pound title by injury default. In the 167-pound division, CSU's Howard Moore, sophomore, won the decision over Tim McDaniel of Adams State 7-3 to capture the Bronchos third championship.
Brett Beams, junior, captured the title with a 10-5 decision over Steve Holder of Mesa State. Greg Oplotnik, junior, ended the championship drive for the Bronchos with an 8-6 decision over Pat Bussey of Labette. Coach David James said he was pleased with the Bronchos success
at the Fort Hays State Open. "Anytime you come away with 5 out of 10 possible champions you've got to be pleased," James said. "It's difficult to determine how a team (as a whole) does in opens," James said. "But our young guys got out and wrestled in a lot of
matches and really performed. We had several that did very well in the consolation matches. Along with the five champions, six other Bronchos finished in the top five of their division. Jimmy Filippo, Todd Drake, Chance Skidgel, Richard Age::
Nimmo undergoes surgery By Randy Anderson Sports Writer Central State University's three-time National champion wrestler, Johnny Nimmo, underwent arthroscopic knee surgery last Wednesday, due to an injury he received Nov. 25 at the Oklahoma Open. Head Coach David James said Nimmo would be immobilized two to three weeks and recovery from this type of
surgery depended entirely on the individual. "I am confident Johnny will be back wrestling with confidence," said James. "Hopefully he won't be bothered and his performance won't suffer at all." Nimmo, a senior, from Del City, will be trying to become CSU's first four-time National champion this season. During his career at CSU Nimmo has compiled a 102-29-0 record and entered

the 1989 season ranked third on the Broncho won-loss record. Broncho athletic-trainer Jeff McKibbin said, Johnny suffered a chipped patella and at first thought Nimmo would be out at least six weeks. "Nimmo was really in pain when he hurt his knee," McKibbin said. "I'm confident though he'll be back and not bothered that much. Johnny is a great wrestler and he still has a good chance at winning his fourth title."
and Fay Barnett all captured fourth-place finishes, while Jeff Burke finished fifth. CSU's matmen entered the open coming off a 39-5 thrashing of Western State last Thursday in the Broncho Field House. The Bronchos went 8-1-1 in the dual en route to a 39-5 victory. Brett Beams scored the only pin for the Bronchos. Beams took down Chris Johnson at the 4:46 mark of the 177-pound match. However, five of the other seven matches were won by major decision or technical falls. Jeff Gowens won the 134-pound match by forfeit and Jeff Burke tied Bill Campbell (7-7) in the heavyweight division. The Bronchos' next action will come at noon, 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. this Saturday in the Broncho Field House when CSU hosts the Broncho Duals.

Now the Soviets and the Eastern Bloc cannot even provide the basics of life for their citizens, Brisch said.
Brisch found the Soviets had always struggled to bring the mechanisms of society into accordance with ideology.
Economically, the Soviet Union is not listed as a superpower, Brisch points out. How long it can maintain its military dominance without an economic base is only a matter of time, Brisch said.
"When the Soviets took control of eastern Europe in the closing days of World War II, they imposed an ideology with no tolerance for deviation in the economy that was accorded parts of the Soviet Union," Brisch said.

Continued from page 1 dents at this time, Gilliland anticipates a slight decrease in the overall spring 1990 enrollment. In the spring of 1989, he said, 13,212 students attended the university. Gilliland said his long-range goal for the enrolling process is to install a fully automatic enrolling system connected to telephone lines. "I hope Central State University can be one of the pioneers to have an automated telephone regulation system. That kind of system would probably fit our institution better than any other institution in the state," Gilliland said. "I know one other university, Northeastern, uses this kind of
system and finds it very useful," Gilliland said. The amount of time it takes for CSU to implement such a system depends mainly on the economy and requires a lot of institutional planning in order to make it a success, he said.

Customs & Traditions is beginning to look a lot like Christmas. You can tell because Christmas cards are being readied to mail, and stores are displaying trees and plastic Santas. The customs of sending Christmas cards, decorating trees and houses, giving gifts, and eating turkey on Christmas are very well established in our society. The practice of giving gifts at Christmas can be traced back to the ancient Romans. The Romans gave gifts to celebrate the festival of Saturnalia which occurred around the same time as today's Christmas.
Ho
is the season--to have a parry! During the month of December, everyone wants to celebrate with a lot of friends at a successful party. Beginning with the "hanging of the green" at Central State University on November 30, many parties will start popping up around the state. People feel festive and like to share that spirit with each other. One of the keys to a terrific party is a beautifully decorated home. This is one of the main reasons people avoid having celebrations in their homes, feeling it will be too expensive to decorate. A solution is to keep it simple and inexpensive. Holly, mistletoe and pinecones are inexpensive decorations, and, mixed with some bright red ribbon, add a holiday touch to any room. These items can often be found in your own or a friend's yard. Another option for holiday decorating is going to a strictly Christmas store such as The North Pole on 1-44 or Christmas Is in Quail Springs Mall. These stores offer all kinds of decorations for your home and yard. This could also save you a lot of time during the hectic Christmas rush because you can get all of the decorations that you will need in one store.

Kissing under the mistletoe is peculiar to Britian and the origins of the custom are unknown. It may have had something to do with the belief in its powers of
fertility. The traaitional custom was each time a kiss was claimed under the bough, the young men picked off a berry; when all the berries were gone, there was no more kissing. The Christmas tree is almost entirely a German tradition attributed to Martin Luther. He was walking one Christmas Eve under a clear night sky lit by millions of stars, and the sight so
trees had become fairly cornmon practice. The tradition of eating turkey at Christmas goes back a long way. The first reference to turkey as the principal course in the Christmas dinner came during Henry VIII's reign in England. Before that, a good Christmas meal had a wide choice of things to eat, including goose, peacock and swan.

In the past, a house which observed a traditional Christmas would have been decorated with holly, ivy and misletoe long before Christmas Eve. The tradition of bringing holly and ivy, or any evergreen, into the house is another Christmas practice which goes back to the Romans, who, during their winter celebrations, brought evergreens home as a token of good luck.
with casual and delicate with dramatic. You can group what you already have, ranging from antiques to fine china, in a few rooms to create a personalized, elegant atmosphere. Essential to a great party is great food and refreshments. A buffet of smoked meats, an assortment of cheeses, fresh fruits, and baked goods should provide a sufficient array of food for your guests. If you plan to cook this food yourself, try to do as much of the cooking ahead of time as you can. Many breads and other baked goods freeze well and can be cooked in advance giving you more time to do other things on the day of the party. A creative way to entertain at this year's Christmas party would be to have an unexpected visit from dear old Santa Claus. It is relatively easy to find a generic Santa Claus, but try to make your visit from Saint Nick a little different from the usual. For example, instead of a jolly fat man in a red suit, get a southwestern Santa wrapped in a doll-sized Indian blanket, As long as your guests have a sense of humor this should be a hit. To make sure everyone enjoys your Christmas party, including you, concentrate on the elements of a good time instead of worrying about the formality of your party. Remember, the whole purpose is celebrating Christmas together. • o so

Students Ready for Christmas Vacation
A
ssignments with almost
impossible deadlines, never-ending projects, limitless amounts of homework, and grueling finals are the price we pay for being college students. The well deserved time out from classes ironically comes at the busiest time of the year. The Christmas season with its hustle and hurried pace gives few people time to rest. Students are busy with holiday parties, trips to visit family and friends, charity work to help the needy, and many other events that make Christmas time bustling. Snow skiing seems to be one of the more popular pastimes among students. Groups pack up their gear and head for places like Vail, Crested Butte and other familiar resorts.

plans to visit relatives in Los Angeles over the holidays, but will spend most of the break at home in Edmond. According to Collison, the members of the fraternity, along with alumni, will form a team and play in an indoor soccer league December 10-January 23. Traci Waits, a member of Sigma Kappa sorority, said that although most of the members go home over the break, they remain in close contact with each other. Waits plans to be with her family in Lawton during the holiday, but will stay in Edmond and work over most of the break. No matter where they find themselves this Christmas, most students will have no problem finding ways to spend time off from their studies. is a Ns ai •

Christmas Remembered 4I
t didn't even occur to us that a Christmas present should be store-bought; everyone made gifts to give at Christmas back then," said Gertrude Brown, My 80-year-old grandmother loves to talk about the old days when she was a little girl, especially about her memories of Christmas time. "Mother would make cloth dolls for us girls, and dad would make slingshots or wooden guns for the boys. Mother usually made a new shirt for dad, and dad would build a spice rack or piece of furniture for mother." "Back then all your neighbors and you would exchange gifts, too. It was usually food of some sort - pies, cakes, canned goods - but never something storebought like today." "And the Christmas tree, oh, now that was really a big deal, not just for the kids, but for the whole family. Dad would load us
all up in the wagon and take us to the woods where we would take turns chopping until we had cut down an evergreen. We'd load the tree in the wagon, take it home and put it up in the main room. We did this the day before Christmas Eve, so the tree was actually up only four or five days at the most. Back then we were very concerned about fire hazards, so we didn't let the tree stand a long time and become all dried out." "Christmas Eve was a special time. The entire family would decorate the tree. We didn't have store-bought ornaments and electric tree lights. For decorations we used ornaments handmade from cloth, tinfoil, pine cones and cookies. We would string popcorn and drape it around the tree much like the tinsel used today. Then dad would place little candles on each branch of the tree and
light them. The family would sit around the tree and sing Christmas hymns while staring in wonder at the beautiful tree. Oh, us kids thought that tree was the most wonderful thing we had ever seen!" "We didn't actually exchange gifts until Christmas morning. Then the rest of the day was spent eating Christmas foods and playing games. We had a big Christmas dinner with turkey and dressing, cranberries, yams and assorted desserts. Every Christmas one of us kids would eat too much and get sick; it never failed." "You know, I've had a bunch of Christmases, but none of them compare to the ones when I was a little girl. Those were very special because it brought the family so close together. Christmas today is too hectic and too expensive. I think the old, simpler Christmases were better."
Christmas: International Style here do 850 international W students from 75 countries at Central State University go during Christmas season? Based on random interviews, a majority of international students will travel to places around the U.S., Canada, Mexico and Europe; some will go home to their native countries and spend Christmas and New Year with their families and friends; while others will travel light and stay with friends somewhere in Oklahoma. However, for those "lonely birds" in Edmond, don't despair. Following are some scheduled events during the Christmas holidays: This insert is a product of Publications, Editing and Design class at Central State University. It is a group project that is produced from conception of story ideas to paste-up of the insert by the group.

• A children's Christmas party is scheduled for 3-5 p.m. Dec. 1 in the Student Center. "Internationals can join with other CSU students to raise money, buy and present gifts to underprivileged kids from Edmond schools," said Janay Moody, associate director of the Baptist Student Union on campus. • International cook-in and nite at the movies 4-9 p.m. Dec. 2 at the BSU. Christmas will be the movies' theme, such as "White Christmas." Moody said, "Internationals can bring and prepare at the BSU kitchen their favorite food and then watch movies. It's just to get their interest to get together informally and relax, also to ask questions about Christmas." • "Mallmania" Dec. 16. BSU will provide buses to leave 1 p.m. for internationals to go to shopping malls. Bring your own money and have fun enjoying typical USA custom of shopping at the mall. "We figure a lot of people, especially internationals, might want to do some Christmas shopping after the busy week studying for finals," Moody said. • International students could
stay during Christmas season with American host families in Edmond under the Community Relations for International Students Program (CRISP). "It's the best way for them to truly experience how a typical American family Christmas is and at the same time, enrich their time in the U.S.," said Val Dome, immigration consultant in CSU's international office. Host family applications can be obtained from CRISP coordinator Kay Cain, tel: 341-6526. • Marvel at the fairyland sight
of Christmas lights at Ski Island, a residential area near Lake Hefner. Organized since 1964 and based on previous turnouts, the event is expected to be a giant bumper-to-bumper traffic jam because lots of people want to see it. "The international department at First Baptist Church, Edmond, will provide bus transportation for international students," Dome said. So, international students, don't be shy or inhibited. Go out, have fun and experience American-style Christmas.
