Ex-Tenn. governor to speak

Nigh series to begin By Jerry Pierce Student Writer The Nigh Institute of State Government will present the first of a four-part "Salute to Oklahoma Series" at Central State University Dec. 8 and 9. Former Tennessee Gov. Lamar Alexander will be the featured guest. Titled, "A Salute to Education and Economic Development," Nigh event will feature Alexander at an invitation-only reception at 6:30 p.m. Dec. 8 at the Edmond Sheraton, followed by a banquet

at 7:45 p.m. in the University Center Ballroom. Alexander will speak to students at 9:40 a.m. Dec. 9 in the Liberal Arts Auditorium as a guest of the CSU department of political science, CSU Pres. Bill Lillard and the Bureau of Governmental Services. Alexander, now president of the University of Tennessee, served one term as Tennessee's Governor from 1968 to 1972 and two terms from 1978 to 1986. The only southern Republican Governor elected to two consecutive terms, Alexander is credited with much of the economic growth Tennessee has experienced during the last

decade, according to Dr. Leroy Crozier, chairman of the CSU department of political science Alexander was named one of the nation's two most effective governors by U.S. News and World Report in 1986. The Nigh Institute of State Government will complete the "Salute to Oklahoma Series" with a salute to the "Big Red E" Jan. 16 honoring the 30th anniversary of the inauguration of J. Howard Edmondson as Oklahoma's Governor; a salute to Oklahoma's Congressional Delegation on Feb. 10 and a salute to the Armed Forces May 2, recognizing the role the Armed Forces have played in Oklahoma.

Faculty constitution fails By Tim Earley

Student Writer Editor's Note: This is the second part of a two-part report of the Fall Conference of Faculty Organizations.

Faculty representatives attending the Fall Conference of Faculty Organizations at Central State University Nov. 18 failed to ratify the Higher Education Faculty Association constitution, but agreed to try again at a later date. Delegates from 24 colleges and universities in Oklahoma agreed to postpone the formation of the organization because an insufficient number of schools had made a decision to join the organization. Delegates decided to elect a couple of temporary officers who will work to promote the formation of the HEFA and recruit schools to join. Darryel Reigh, representing the University of Science and Arts of

Oklahoma, was elected temporary president. Calvin Hill, Langston University representative, was elected temporary secretary reporter. Reigh, who has been instrumental in the quest to form the HEFA, said copies • of the constitution for the proposed organization had been mailed to Anne Lynch, CSU history professor, noted that the HEFA would be a voice for all higher education faculty members and not just a few.

42 private and state colleges in Oklahoma several months ago. However, only 13 schools had ratified the constitution and many were still undecided. Fifteen schools need to join the organization to make it official, he said. The University of Oklahoma and Oklahoma State University

are two of the schools that had not made a decision to join. Faculty representatives from both schools felt their institutions didn't have much in common with other state schools. Saying the fact they are already large, powerful institutions, they questioned the benefit they would receive from joining such an organization.

Peterson dubbed Outstanding Educator By Lisa Hogue

Student Writer Dr. Billye Peterson, assistant professor of administrative services at Central State University, was recently named Outstanding Business Educator for 1988 by the Oklahoma Business Educator Association. Peterson, who won the award for the post-secondary

schools division, which is all vo-tech and junior colleges in the state of Oklahoma, was nominated while she was still an instructor at Rose State College. Dr. Janet Cunningham, professor of accounting at the University of Oklahoma, nominated her. The award is based on four main topics including the

quality of teaching, past awards, outside community work and campus activities, said Peterson.

By winning the state award, Peterson is now waiting to see how she will do at the regional conference to be held June 24 and 25. She will compete in the Mt. Plains Business Education Association which includes the

winners from the states of Colorado, New Mexico, Texas, Kansas, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming, and Nebraska. The criteria for this competition is the same as the state competition. The winner from this convention will go on to the national convention later next year.

Student expresses thanks To the Editor:

I have been enrolled at this institution since fall 1983 and will be completing my last semester shortly. I would like to take a few moments to share some final thoughts with your readers about getting the most out of their time at Central State University. CSU has many fine academic programs that help prepare students to compete for jobs after graduating. However one aspect of education sometimes overlooked is the variety of extracurricular programs available. I realize that a large percentage of students also work and have family responsibilities. Many feel such additional obligations of time might overburden their schedule. But how many would participate if they felt they could benefit from such activities?

I faced challenges and learned things I would have otherwise missed. I firmly believe that my education would have been incomplete without it.

can be of help, call us at ext. 3337 or come by our office on the University Center fourth floor.

I encourage all students to take advantage of the numerous extracurricular activities available at CSU. No matter what your major is, I think you will find something of interest. Check with an instructor in your major field of study or contact Student Services at ext. 2363,

In closing, I would like to say thanks to the faculty, staff, and administration of this institution. I've come in contact with too many to list their names, but did want to express my gratitude for all they have done for me. Education is a profession that has few financial rewards, so I feel they deserve to know when they have touched someone's life.

William J. 'Bill' Smith

Editor Once again, the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education have proven to the citizens of this state that they are more interested in making the University of Oklahoma and Oklahoma State University the Harvards of the South than they are with improving the overall quality of education equitably in Oklahoma. Of approximately $13 million allocated for capital improvements to 24 state public colleges and higher education agencies Nov. 9, $2.3 million went to OU and $2.4 million went to the OU Health Sciences Center. And $2.35 million was given to OSU, along with $750,000 for a laser research center. An additional $50,000 was given to the OSU College of Veterinary Medicine. This totals to $7.85 million for the two giants and their related schools, leaving a meager $5.1 million to be divided among the remaining 20 institutions. Central State University has consistently bulged with students. Now there is-not enough room to accommodate all of them. Classes have been forced off campus into a church. On campus, some students must meet in a casket selection room. For three years CSU has requested funds for a new classroom building. Yet now that the regents have funds available, they squander millions on fanciful future laser research centers and biotech centers and toss a paltry $100,000 to CSU to plan a building to serve students desperately in need of space now. And that's the regent's idea of fairness. The vote was 7-1. Chairman J.D. Helms, the lone dissenter, is the only board member intelligent enough to realize the necessity of equal and fair funding in higher education in the state.

Election article criticized To the Editor:

Mark Finley, your recent editorial focuses on the fact that issues of the election were almost If one chooses carefully, these all economic in nature, but if you programs outside the classroom would look past your liberal igcan serve to compliment learning norance, you would remember inside the classroom. These new that the United States is a insights can create a sense of per- -capitalistic country, based on the sonal achievement and self- concept of free enterprise. I also don't think that Reagan confidence that is an important and Bush have such dictatorshippart of a total education. oriented ideologies that you profess. The Reagan administration I chose the Student Association because I wanted to learn about and its ideas over the last eight our system of government and years have lowered unemployhow to effect positive change in ment, inflation rates, the trade the community.

would be supporting those who are too lazy to get off their fat duffs and work. You also attack the Republican foreign policy program. No, the Soviets probably are not planning to invade Washington and start dispersing Marxist handbooks, but that is because of the international concept of Mutually Assured Deterence and not because the Soviet Union has stopped practicing imperialism.

Letter Also, if it is your choice to pay no respect to a "colorful rag or a 200-year-old document", so be it. But when a blue- blooded

American who feels that you are showing disrespect to national symbols, which are the foundation of our nation, is beating your head in because of it, please don't ask me for help. I don't think the U.S. "wants" to be the "biggest, baddest nation in the world." It is. As one of the youngest nations in the world, I think we have good standing in national and international affairs, and we've gotten there with hardnosed determination based on strong national pride. I suggest that if you are not satisfied with living in the best nation on this planet, then you can move to a more fair country, like the USSR Doug Johnson

Enrollment solutions suggested By Deidrea Reisman Student Writer Why does Central State University insist on opening enrollment to all students on one certain day? The end result of this system is busy students having to stand in line for up to three hours to get to sectioning only to find out that the classes they need to graduate are closed.

Commentary Students have to skip other classes just to get a good place in line. If they don't skip their class, they take a chance of not being able to graduate. At other major universities, such as OU and OSU, a day is set on which only those people with over 90 hours can enroll. Then the students with over 60 hours can enroll on the next day and so on. This system allows upper division students to enroll in the classes they need to graduate without having to stand in line for hours or having to ditch another class. This system makes things run much more smoothly for everyone involved. It cuts down on the student's headaches and on the advisor's headaches.

Abortion defended To the Editor: Abortion is a very personal decision, and should be left up to the woman involved. If you have never been in a position which weighs so heavily on one's soul, you should think before you criticize. When a woman goes through an abortion many things change. Attitudes, beliefs, and self-esteem are dealt with forever. The woman should not have to deal with other's rudeness as well. If people believe that making abortion illegal will save unborn children, they need to take a hard look at the past, when women died from illegal abortions, had to have hysterectomies, and carried scars that will never fade. No matter if abortion is legal or illegal, if that is the woman's decision, she will do it. The reason I speak so knowingly is because I made the decision to terminate a pregnancy. My parents supported me. It was the right decision for me and my life, but it is not the correct decision for everybody. But, ultimately, that right to choose should be upheld by governmental laws. What people have to realize is that if you take it upon yourself to judge another person, you are being very callous. Only one has the right of judgement, and that is God. Name withheld by request

Final exams aren't fair, writer says To the editor: How many times have you entered this last week of school with an A in a class and then received a B because of a final exam? It happens too often. In some classes the final exam counts for one-half of the total points. Although most classes are not this extreme, the final exam typically counts twice as much as a normal

test. And it's usually comprehensive. I feel that this is not a fair way to assess a student's capabilities — a two-hour comprehensive test, worth at least twice as much as a regular test, and given at a time when all of the other classes are doing the same thing? It is no wonder the suicide rate among students is so high during this time of year.

Obviously the system should change. The question is how? Until recently, finals at Central State University were given at unusual times, such as 7:40 a.m., and not at the usual class time. Thank goodness that madness was changed!

didn't count so much. Of course, to be an effective change, it would have to be a general policy, and all instructors would have to comply. Otherwise, each will believe that students have less to study in their other classes and then just make their exams twice as difficult!

Hopefully, it won't be the last of the changes. Final comprehensive exams would be alright if they

If you share my discontent, please let your opinion be known. Dustin Penn

Student argues 'life starts at birth' To the Editor: In response to the article, "Preborn infants, more than tissue," the editor's questions on when an abortion should occur, "A minute before birth? A minute before that?" are totally irrelevant. It is my understanding that, in Oklahoma, abortions cannot legally be performed after the first tri-mester. Mrs. Giglio points out that "at this point in time it is impossible to prove that human life begins at conception," and "abortion advocates like to believe that it begins at birth." It seems to me that past generations have celebrated the beginning of life at birth. Does that mean our ancestors were abortion advocates? Today, we have birth certificates, and we celebrate birthdays to commemorate that event — the emergence of a new life. Otherwise, am I denying life to an individual because I am voluntarily sterile? Are men who use condoms and women who practice birth control guilty of hampering the right to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" for another, as yet unborn, person? Further into pregnancy, will pregnant women be denied bacon and eggs for breakfast on the grounds that the cholesterol might be hazardous to the existence of a zygote? The editor does make the point that people who "are old enough for sexual relations ... must be responsible enough to take the proper measures to assure an unwanted pregnancy does not occur. I agree that there are better forms of birth control than abortion. Another point the editor makes is that "(pro-abortion people ) are

treading dangerously close to the arena of selective breeding which was the condemned intent of Nazi experimenters." The question I raise is, aren't we doing the same with our experiments with testtube babies and artificial insemination? The third point, and the most infuriating one Mrs. Giglio makes, is that children who are not aborted can be adopted. Ha! I have spent my life being raised with children who should have never been born! I have shared my childhood with physically, sexually, and mentally abused children; I have lived with children who suffered from Down's syndrome and other severely retarded individuals; I have been a foster sister to almost every conceivable ethnic group present in the United States. Of the 48 foster children who have moved into and out of

my youth only three I know of were ever adopted. The rest either remained in "the system" or returned to abusive parents whose rights our present legal system protects. I ask, how many of these individuals would you adopt? How many children over the age of five would you share your home with? How many premature infants that have grown to live the life of tortured vegetables are you willing to finance with your own dollars? How many products of the "wonders of modern medicine" and its surgical techniques are you willing to adopt and care for the rest of your life? I will offer this to the editor and those who believe as she does: These "adoptable" children are not likely to decrease in number, with or without abortion. Suzanne L. Moore

Editor's note: I shared my entire youth with a sister who is mentally retarded, and I will be her guardian for my entire life. Also, I grew up with several foster children cared for by my mother, and I visited institutions and homes for mentally retarded individuals and abused children. I am well acquainted with the horrifying problems you describe. But I do not feel abortion is the "cure." I do believe only a small portion of babies are aborted for medical reasons, i.e., defects detected in early pregnancy. The majority are for convenience. Something is lost by humanity when we insist on allowing only "perfect" individuals to live. While some may feel bitter, I believe I am better for my experiences.

Needs of elderly shared To the Editor: Instead of arguing so much about abortion and unborn lives who have not yet had a chance to contribute anything to our society, why don't we concentrate on the growing population of "senior citizens." As a person who has worked in a retirement facility for the past four years, I have seen things that would and should outrage every citizen of the United States. I have seen people who cannot afford to care for themselves and end up dying of dehydration and/or starva-

tion. Some adult children neglect their parents so much that they die of depression. Then there are families who suck money from their "loved ones" and then desert them, leaving them destitute. We need to wake up and smell the coffee, people! Let's become involved with the elderly and their quality of living. Students who are studying medicine, you must realize that the elderly population is growing rapidly. Most doctors today give up on the elderly. They don't want to take the time to talk to

grandma who is hard of hearing; they prescribe medications out the wazoo for any symptom that springs up. Don't write-off the elderly. They have seen and done things that we have yet to dream of. We can listen and learn from their experiences. Just remember, we will all be there one day (Lord willing), and I know we don't want to think of ourselves as useless. I hope that when I'm 80-plus years old that I have a doctor who cares about me, one who will listen to how I feel and does his best to make my life a quality one, Gia L. Walker

Enrollment dates set for spring

European museums on tap for art class By Mark Mitchell Student Writer Dr. William L. Hommel, chairman of Central State University's Art Department, is teaching a class this spring on 19th and 20th century artwork found in the museums of London and Paris. The one aspect of this class that sets it apart from standard art courses is that it will be held in the museums of London and Paris. A total of 12 museums will be visited including The British Museum, The National Gallery in London and the Lourve in Paris. The emphasis of the British Museum Tour will be on Egyptian, Mesopotamian, Greek and Roman art.

At the National Gallery a variety of art periods will be viewed including many masterpieces.

By Salina Nik Idris Student Writer

Impressionism to the present is the focus of the trips to the Courtauld Institute and the Tate Gallery.

Central State University students may enroll until Jan. 13 before having to pay a $10 late fee. Late enrollment will end Jan. 27, said Natalie Barbara, administration clerk.

The tour will not be inflexible insofar as sightseeing is concerned. An alternate Salisbury and Stonehenge tour is offered to the Courtauld and Tate tours. Afterwards an evening at a London theater is planned.

Classes for the spring semester will begin on Jan. 16 and fees need to be paid by Jan. 13, Barbara said. The last day students may withdraw and still receive a full refund will be Jan. 13, and the last day to add and drop classes will be Jan. 30, Barbara said. The last day to withdraw from classes will be May 5.

Canterbury Cathedral is the last scheduled stop in England before the group travels to France by ferry and then to Paris by coach.

So far, 7,500 students have enrolled for the spring semester, said Darrell Gilliland, registrar. "The number is ahead of last year. A week ago it was busy and rushed, but this week it is running smoothly," Gilliland said. Some classes have been closed but students may meet with their advisors if they need to enroll in a class to graduate. Gilliland encourges all students to pre-enroll before the holidays. The fall semester usually has the highest enrollment. The spring semester is usually close to a 1,000 students fewer than the fall semester, Gilliland said. At least two-thirds of the students usually enroll before the holidays whereas the rest enroll late, he said. For more information students may check in the spring 1989 schedule.

Higher Education Day scheduled By Jett Dempsey Student Writer The Oklahoma Alumni Council for Higher Education is hosting its Higher Education Day at 10 a.m., Dec. 9 at Oklahoma City Community College. Former distinguished student of Central State Universtiy, Milton Heflin will be giving the key note speech on higher education at the council's luncheon titled "Higher Education- The Vital Link," which begins at noon, said the council's executive director, Gaylon Stacy.

Heflin's luncheon speech will be preceeded by a morning forum of four speakers representing business, government and higher education.

Award in 1975, the Superior Performance Award in '73, '76 and '82, the Quality Increase Award in 1982 and the Distinguished Former Student Award from Central State Universty in 1984.

Heflin went to work for NASA just after graduating from CSU in 1966 with a Math and Physics degree. He most recently earned the position of flight director for the latest space shuttle launch. Numerous awards have been received by Heflin since joining the NASA program. He was awarded the Superior Achievment

Stacy said the council's intent is to provide the awareness of "how important a quality education is to life and a stable economy." The luncheon will be an event to reconize individuals throughout Oklahoma who have made advancement for higher education, said Stacy.

The Higher Education Day is open to the public and will be held at OCC, 777 S. May in Oklahoma City. Registration will begin at 9 a.m.

Former alcoholic dropout now grad student By Larry Floyd

Guest Writer Central State University graduate student Billeye Medlock worked hard for four weeks coordinating activities at CSU for National Collegiate Alcohol Awareness Week Oct. 17-21. Medlock was particularly motivated for NCAAW. An addiction to alcohol and pills caused

her to drop out of CSU in 1976. "I was a full-blown alcoholic and addict at 21," she said. Medlock started college only drinking occasionally, but prescription drugs had already begun her dependence on chemicals. Her drinking rapidly escalated from once a month to every day. Medlock said she frequently

began missing classes as her drinking progressed. When she attended classes, her concentration was poor and her memory distorted. By the age of 25, she had given up on completing her degree and was in the later stages of alcoholism. "1 had resigned myself to dying. The turning point was when I saw someone else get sober that

SBA wants contest entries By Larry Smith

Student Writer The U.S. Small Business Administration is sponsoring a contest for the selection of the 1989 U.S. Small Business Week poster. The theme, "Small Business Is America's Future," must be in the design and the words "U.S. Small Business Week, May 7 to 13, 1989," must be used. The poster should show the importance of small business to the nation. Sue Urbach, director of the Small Business Development Center said, "85 percent of all businesses in Oklahoma are small. You might say, small business is big in Oklahoma." .N%%%

Judging will be by a national committee of representatives of government, small business, and the graphics community. A $2,000 contract for final preparation and design of the winning poster will be awarded to the candidate whose entry is selected. The winner will also be invited to Washington D.C. to be honored during U.S. Small Business Week. The poster should be designed in no more than two colors on white paper 16 inches by 20 inches. Entries must be submitted by Dec. 19 to the Office of Public Communications, 1441 L Street, N.W., Room 926, Washington

Medlock believes colleges can do more to help chemically dependent students by providing former addicts to talk with these students. She also says school counselors must be able to identify students with signs of chemical dependence and refer these students to intervention programs. Medlock is unsure of the effectiveness of the recent NCAAW at CSU. She believes that chemical abuse education is a part of the solution, but it may be some time before the information really helps a chemically dependent person. She is satisfied, however, with her efforts during NCAAW. "I had several students come up to me and talk. If one person is helped, I'll have given back what was given to me," she said.

Students to receive teaching assignments By Michelle Dooner

Student Writer Orientation for Central State University students enrolled in the student teaching program will be at 1:30 p.m., Dec. 7 in Mitchell Hall. Dr. Judith Coe, director of field experiences, will give a 30 minute presentation on what will be involved during the semester that the students will be teaching. The students will then be assigned to their designated school districts and divided into groups. There are a total of 245 students that will be teaching in the spring. They will be assigned to any one of 130 different schools from 24 school districts located in the metropolitan area. Beginning Jan. 16, the students

will work with their cooperative teacher and will be at their assigned school for an entire semester, Coe said. Towards the end of the semester , the students will return to CSU for a three day institute which will deal with the legal aspects of classroom management. "Student teaching is a requirement for all education majors in order to graduate," said Dr. Coe. "It is usually done during their final semester of college and it gives them 10 credit hours for teaching and two credit hours for the institute," she said. The orientation is only open to those students enrolled in a student teaching program. It is scheduled to last about an hour and a half, said Coe.

KDP initiates students By Doug Johnson

Student Writer During the Oct. 27 meeting of the Gamma Omega chapter of Kappa Delta Pi, an international honor society in education, 56 honor students were initiated into KDP on the basis of academic record and professional attitude. At Central State University, KDP has a membership of about 250 to 300 members. KDP has been active at CSU since 1935. Recently, they have

been involved in the building of the Victorian Garden Courtyard project outside of Old North. The courtyard will consist of new walkways, light fixtures, and a new flowerbed. The project should be finished by spring of 1990, for the centennial, but there is hope to start work this summer, said Dr. Earl Newman, counselor of KDP and professor of professional teaching education.

had drunk like I did. It gave me hope," Medlock said. Medlock alternated periods of drinking and sobriety for several years after this turning point. But she continued to draw strength from former chemical abusers who were now sober and happy with their lives. In October she celebrated her fifth year of sobriety. Medlock is pleased and proud of these years of sobriety, but she refers to herself still as a recovering person. "I think once you're chemically dependent you're always chemically dependent," she said. Medlock finally completed her bachelor's degree in sociology and plans to have her own counseling service after completing her master's in educational psychology.

Speaker says malparenting causes juvenile delinquency By Jerry Pierce

Student Writer Judge Sid Brown of the Oklahoma City Juvenile Court told participants at the 2nd Annual Lloyd E. Rader Memorial Workshop Nov. 15 in the Liberal Arts Building Auditorium that malparenting is mostly to blame for junvenile delinquency, and that the courts are still looking for direction in dealing with juveniles. Brown was one of eight speakers Tuesday at the four-day workshop, entitled "Contemporary Issues in Juvenile Justice." "One of the major controver-

sies facing the courts right now," Brown said, "is— do you love them to death or do you beat the hell out of them?" Too often the juvenile offernders are dealth with inappropriately through programs not suited for them, Brown said. "All we've got to do is have a shrink put a diagnosis on there saying the juvenile needs inpatient treatment. So barn, you can send the kid off to the hospital to be head-shrunk." Substantive programs dealing with basic human nature is what the court system really needs, he

said. "Traditionally psychotherapy is a waste of time, and it's ineffective with kids. I think one of the biggest things that works with kids is someone who is genuine, caring and who would be willing to spend time with them," Brown said. Programs need to be implemented to help people learn to parent more effectively, stopping juvenile problems before they start, he said. The workshop was sponsored by the Central State University department of sociology and criminal justice.

Model UN delegates needed By Tina Davis Student Writer Central State University would like to take two delegations to the Model United Nations of the Southwest which will be held Feb. 1 to 4 at the University of Oklahoma, according to Randal Terrill, co-chairperson. "We would like to take two delegations. So far, there are enough people for one delegation and we are looking for nine other people. We would be happy to take anyone," Terrill said. "It (Model UN) is a regional conference where each group of

delegates models a country as in the real UN," said Terrill. "However you can represent the country you do," said Terrill. He said the delegates will dress the way actual delegates from that nation would dress, and they will vote as that really would. One stipulation is that a member of a delegation cannot be a citizen of that country, he said. CSU delegates chose Great Britain as the country they would like to represent most. West Germany was their second choice. All fees have been paid except

for a small fee for incidental costs such as copies. The fee will probably not exceed $10, Terrill said. The student Association will pay for both delegations.

Any student who is interested should contact either Terrill at ext. 4636, or Jeff Blansett, cochairperson, at 359-1940 by the end of this semester. Prospective delegates will fill out an application and go through an interview. "Last year CSU won best delegation," said Terrill. "They represented the United States."

Business seminars slated By Tina Davis

Student Writer "Management Development," the second in a series of three seminars titled "Lead, Follow or Get Out of the Way--Survival Skills • for Business Leadership" will be held at 11 a.m. on Dec. 14 in the Council room of the University Center, said Sue Urbach, director of the Central State University Small Business Development Center.

Mexican Bazaar underway By Kamal Mazlan

Student Writer Sigma Delta Pi, the Spanish honor society, is holding its 16th annual Mexican Bazaar. It began Dec. 5, and will run through Dec. 7 from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. at the east end of the first floor of the Liberal Arts Building at Central State University. Four tables are set up at the site. Various Mexican handicrafts and ornaments are for sale during

the bazaar, said Dr. Ann Phillips, chairperson of the foreign language department. Proceeds from the bazaar sale will go to a fund to provide scholarships for Spanish majors, and to sponsor cultural events and trips. The Mexican handicrafts were bought by Phillips and Dr. Mildred Lyon, a professor of humanities and foreign language at CSU, during their trip to

Saltillo, Mexico, from Nov. 23 to 29. Items sold at the bazaar include ceramics; plain pottery; Christmas tree ornaments; jewelry; toys, such as, Mexico yoyo and little flutes; and Mexican vanilla and chocolates. The honor society netted about $1,200 in gross receipts from the bazaar sale last year.

Twelve buy dates By Gia Walker

Student Writer Twelve people started their Thanksgiving Holiday with a date they bought at the Phi Beta Lambda Date Auction which was held Tuesday, Nov. 22nd during halftime and after a basketball exhibition game between the Central State University Bronchos and the Ft. Sill Cannoneers. The highest bidder was a student from Rose State University who spent $70 for a date with Larry Green to go skiing at Angel Fire, N.M., all expenses paid. The dates offered were with students and faculty of CSU. Local businesses such as the Sheraton in Edmond, Harrigan's

and Orient Express donated dinners for two. Donovan Arterburn, junior, auctioneer, offered himself up for bids as well. Dates up for auction ranged from a ride in a camaro and a romantic dinner for two with student, Georgia Blair, to a plane trip to either Dallas or Tulsa (bidder's choice). The proceeds from the auction will benefit PBL, CSU's business club, and the Hope Center for the needy in Edmond, said Dr. Billye Peterson, PBL coordinator. The auction raised $290 with 20 percent going to The Hope Center. PBL is an organization for business students.

"We feel that this ski trip will be fun for the students because they will not only have the opportunity to ski but also to meet other students from other universities," said Rex Humphrey, director of student activities. The ski-Breckneridge package costs $269, which includes lodging for five nights, lift tickets for four days, round-trip motorcoach

transportation, an on-mountain picnic and ski race, a welcome party with refreshments, on location Great Destinations Inc. tour directors and all taxes and gratuities. Not included are ski rentals, which will be $8 a day. "I really feel that the ski package is priced very low," Humphrey said, "especially for lodging and transportation." "We are hoping that the student involvement is high and that the trip becomes a tradition." The trip is open to all students, and each participant may sign up one guest. All participants must fill out and sign a liability form provided by the student activities office, said Humphrey. The deadline to sign up for the

trip is Dec. 1, at which time deposit and full payment are due. However, by contacting Humphrey before Dec. 1, special arrangements can be made. "We arranged that week for the trip because it is after the Christmas holiday and before classes resume on Jan. 14. We figured more students would be able to participate during that week," said Humphrey. The CSU student activities office also will be sponsoring a spring break trip March 18-25 to either Padre Island, Texas, or Cancun, Mexico. Complete details are not available at this time. For reservations contact Humphrey at extension 2361.

Credit for Latin offered By Kamal Mazlan

Student Writer Central State University students who have had at least one year of Latin in high school have an opportunity to obtain 10 hours in Latin in the Spring semester, said Ann Phillips, chairperson of the foreign language department. Students who meet the prerequisite could take Elementary Latin II in the spring semester, and then take an Advanced Standing Examination for Elementary Latin I at the end of the semester. "Students who successfully

complete the course and pass the examination could end up with 10 hours of Latin in their transcripts, which would give them that extra edge in the job market," said Phillips. The Elementary Latin II classes will be from 5:30 to 8 p.m. on Mondays and Wednesdays. The course will be taught by Beverly K. Woodrome, who joined the department as a part time faculty member this fall, Phillips said. Woodrome earned her bachelor's degree in Latin from the University of Oklahoma in

1972, and her master's degree in 1977. Woodrome studied Latin in Italy on a grant in 1975, and has taught Latin and English at Edmond Memorial High School since 1978. "The best positions in the job market often depend on word power, and Latin is the best foundation for a student," said Phillips. "About 53 percent of the word terminology in English derives from Latin, particularly words pertaining to government, legal, and law and order."

WWII items displayed By Rhonda Shalaby and Dee Reisman Display materials commemorating the bombing of Pearl Harbor, Dec. 7, 1941, and honoring those who lost their lives during World War 11 will be available for viewing Dec. 6 to Feb. 1 at the Oklahoma Collection Room at the Central State University Library. "It (attack on Pearl Harbor) is certainly a sad day in the history of our country," said Mary Bond, coordinator of the diplays. "After the bombing of Pearl Harbor, the Dr. Donald C. Cutter, retired professor of history at the University of New Mexico, speaks to students Nov. 18 at the Liberal Arts Building Auditorium. (Photo by Daniel Smith)

Historian says Spanish conquest legal, unjust By Jerry Pierce Student Writer Speaking in the Liberal Arts Building Auditorium on Nov. 18, historian Dr. Donald C. Cutter told students that the Spanish conquest of America was "legal but unjust." Cutter, a retired professor of history at the University of New Mexico, spoke at the request of the Central State University department of political science and the Bureau of Governmental Services. Cutter said that Spain was the "power of Europe" in 1492, with a "great fighting class" which included a strong navy. The American Indians became the subjects of conquest for Spain during this time, Cutter said. Spain had been given half of the

world for Christianization by the Pope in 1494. Cutter said Spain also had a surplus population, which made expansionism more attractive and made Spain the best equipped country to conquer the New World. "England couldn't have conquered the New World in 1492," said Cutter. The dilemma of what to do with the Indians was an important question for the Spaniards. "Were they really men or were they savages? It turned out to be a matter of super—racism," Cutter said. A "just war" was determined as the legal way to take the land. "Legality and justice are two different things. Everything about it was legal, but nothing about it was just," said Cutter.

Professor edits publication By Carol Hill Student- Writer Jean Caldwell, assistant professor of economics and director of the Center for Economic Education, recently ended a twoand-a-half year project as general editor of a publication to be used widely by school district curriculum planners throughout the nation . The publication is titled "Economics: What and When;

Scope and Sequence Guidlines, K-12." Caldwell said the purpose of the curriculum guide is to generally lay out the basic things that an economically literate person should know. "The text is arranged by grade level so that simple concepts can be learned at an early age and provide a foundation for later complex learning," Caldwell said. The Joint Council on Economic

Education, based in New York, published the guide. They are a non-profit organization trying to improve the quality and quantity of economic education at the precollegiate level, she said. Caldwell worked with two economists from the council: June Gilliard, curriculum director for the council and Robert Highsmith, chief economist for the council.

Central State University baseball pitching coach and art student Tommy Shimp says there is no conflict between sports and art. While pursuing his bachelor's degree in art education at CSU, Shimp has worked since 1986 as an assistant under the Bronchos' head baseball coach Bobby Hunt. "It's not as different as people would think," Shimp said. "In baseball you have things that have to be done a certain way. In pitching, there are basic mechanics which you use to throw strikes consistently and get people out. It takes dedication and concentration. In art, it's the same thing: the people who are the best at it are the people who spend the most time with it. If you don't pick up a paint brush for two or three years you lose some of your technique." Shimp has been involved in both sports and art since his childhood in Del City. "Sports probably came first. We were always around the block playing whatever was in season," said Shimp. "I was also drawing around like little kids do, and I'd always have dad draw something for me. I just started from there and got into junior high and high school and kept up with it. Then in 1977 I got an associate's degree in art education from Oscar Rose." Shimp enjoys several of subject matter with which he has more skill, and prefers one type of art. "Painting is probably my favorite," Shimp said. "I like painting scenery, horses and other animals. I don't do baseball scenes or portraits because I don't do people well. At some point I'd

like to get to where I could do people, but right now I don't feel comfortable with it. I'm at a certain level in my art and I really haven't found out what I have to do to get to the next level above. Just like I had to figure out for 10 years what I had to do differently to become a better baseball player." "When I was playing professionally, I still painted in my spare time," Shimp said. "I sold some of my stuff when I was playing ball in Tennessee. I've sold some of my stuff here. Painting on glass, that sells fairly well, but I don't guess you ever sell enough of it." There are a few differences between painting and baseball, said Shimp. "In art you have a lot of leeway as far as trying out different things and seeing if it will work; whether this technique will work with whatever you're doing," Shimp said. "There is a lot of trial and error. You have the option of experimenting because people's tastes are so different." "But in baseball it has to be done a certain way. The pitcher has to have the mental ability to throw the ball where he wants it," Shimp said. "If he's out there and loses concentration, he can make a mistake and the batter hits a home run or something. He'll probably lose the game. Both painting and baseball involve some natural ability, but mainly dedication and concentration." Shimp is one of a group of art students whose work is now showing in the CSU Graduating Art Students' Exhibition. The show runs through Dec. 13 in the CSU Museum of Art. Museum hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and 1-5 p.m. on Sundays.

Grapplers crown two at Fort Hayes Open By Mark Finley Sports Editor The Central State wrestling team returned Sunday after competing in the Fort Hayes State Open in Hays, Kan., and brought home two champions and five place winners. After just placing in his first two tournaments this year, twotime national champion Johnny Nimmo got on the track to a possible third national title by being named the tournament's outstanding wrestler as the Del City junior breezed to the 158-pound title. With the win, Nimmo is now qualified for the national tournament. Also winning this weekend was Jeff Gowens at 134 pounds. Gowens, a sophomore from Del City, ran his match winning streak to eight as he won his second tournament of the year adding to the win he had earlier at the Central Missouri Open. Gowens' record for the year now stands at 18-4. Two other wrestlers made appearances in the finals, but came up a little short. Comanche junior Andy Howington (150 pounds) and Moore sophomore Greg Oplotnik (190 pounds) both reached the finals before falling in their respected weights. Both Howington and Oplotnik qualified however for the national

tournament to be held in March.

Other wrestlers placing in the tournament were Tony Pacheco, a senior from Tulsa, who placed fourth at a 126 pounds; Coweta freshman Howard Moore also placed fourth at 167 pounds while freshman Lance Owens from Ardmore came in fifth place at 177 pounds. "I thought we wrestled real well at Fort Hayes until the final round," said CSU wrestling head

coach David James. "I was disappointed in our final round, not so much that we got beat but the way we got beat. Things we had talked about and had tried to correct didn't get corrected." CSU will need to correct whatever needs to be corrected before this weekend as they participate in the Cowboy Duals at Oklahoma State. The Bronchos first opponent

will be Lock Haven University ranked 7th by the National Wrestling Coaches Association in NCAA Division I. Following that match, CSU faces number one ranked OSU. This will be the 30th meeting between the Bronchos and the Cowboys as OSU leads the series 28-0-1. "Seriously and realistically, we'd have to do everything we can to even have a chance this

weekend," James said. "I think as far as the team goes, it'll be tough to hang in there unless our guys do some things they haven't been doing. We'll have to fight tooth and nail to hang in there on every match." CSU's first match against Lock Haven starts at 10 a.m. with the OSU match following at around noon. Both matches will held at Gallagher-Iba Arena in Stillwater.

At the festival, there were three critics from out of state. They were Dr. Kathryn Long, Oregon Shakespeare Festival, Dr. Peter Sanders, chairman of theater at Hofsta University and Hugh

Lester, chairman of theater at Tulane University. Five special awards were given by the critics, two of which were recieved by CSU faculty. Sloan was given the award for excellence in directing.

oday, all the normal mischances of living have been multiplied a million-fold, by the potentialities for destruction, for an unthinking act of collective suicide, which man's very triumphs in science and invention have brought about. In this situation the artist has a special task and duty: the task of reminding men of their humanity and the promise of their creativity. -Lewis Mumford Art. Art can be anything from painting to music and from dance to literature. The study of art is rewarding and fun. From the beginning, when they painted on

Rex-Warlock Rockin' Q. Where was your album made? A. Right here in Oklahoma City. It's a Christian recording studio called Corner Stone Studios. The owner freaked out at first because he thought the album was Satanic. I think the title (Halloween Suite) scared him. Q. What kind of money is the album bringing in?

"I'm not in a band, I'm a band within a band." By Mike Sullivan Writing the songs and putting a rock 'n' roll album together was the easy part. Now CSU General Studies major Rex Sparger faces the hard part; getting his album distributed and sold. Sparger's album, "Halloween Suite", was cut this past summer in a local studio, but has not yet been picked up by a record company for major distribution. Undaunted by lack of fame and fortune, Sparger was back in the studio working on his second album when reporters caught up with him long enough to share some insight on his musical career; past, present, and future.

A. None yet. We're trying to get a "label" to pick us up. So right now I'm giving copies to friends, and also sending copies to potential record companies. Q. Is music merely a hobby, or something you want to make a career?

cave walls, to the present, the arts and ideas of people are symbols of beauty, truth, hope and love. Art teaches the world that it needs to pay more attention to "nothing except the significance of life" (Henry Miller). The main focus of artists is that the quality of one's life can be enhanced and that this enhancement is available to all. Journalism 3993, publications editing and design, decided to do a supplement to The Vista dedicated to the arts. This supplement is a a group project and was written and entirely designed by CSU journalism students. We hope you enjoy our "Salute to the Arts!" By Lynn Gravitt

Halloween Suite

Q. What type of music could we expect to hear on your album? A. I would say it's simply good ol' fashioned rock 'n roll. The biggest influences in my career have been Chuck Berry, Pink Floyd and the Beatles. But really, anyone who has ever picked up a guitar has had an influence on my music. Q. How can interested readers hear your album? A. I hope to talk to the CSU radio station (KCSC), and see if they can feature the album one of these days. Q. Was it difficult breaking into the music industry on the level of record producing?

Dracula • Blood-Stained Tears • Frankenstein — SIDE TWO—

A. Right now I can't say it's a hobby and I can't say it's a career. It's just something I'm working on. It's something that needs to be done at this stage of my life.

A. No; not really. If you have talent and money, you can do it. The hard part is finding a record company to sign with. They are the people who distribute the album and get it sold.

Q. What has the CSU music school done for your music career?

Q. What is the name of your band?

A. I learned the majority of my arranging from music instructor Lee Rucker. He has helped me the most. He took the time to sit me down and explain it all to me.

A. I'm not in a band. I'm a band within a band. I write and produce my own material, but I do use Formula 4 (a local group of CSU grads) as a back-up band when I'm in the studio.

Repairman fixes flutes By Mike Sullivan "Even how you take it out of its Thanks to the nimble fingers of musical instrument repairman case can make a difference." Pranter's first repair job was at John Pranter, CSU band members and music students North Texas State, when he was always have sound, workable in- working on his Master's degree. Then a stint on the road with the struments at their disposal. Pranter, a 1984 CSU graduate, Glen Miller Orchestra gave him works out of his Edmond repair even more experience repairing shop fixing trombones, flutes, damaged instruments. "Most of the instruments we clarinets, etc., after their routine usage produces puckers, dimples, repaired when I was with the orchestra were damaged by the dents and dings. Students normally own their airlines," he said. Since band instruments can run own instruments, but some of the larger ones are owned by CSU, into thousands of dollars, a repair and it is these instruments that get service saves the university a banged up in the course of a substantial amount of money. "Yes, they are expensive," semester. "When you're learning, you Pranter said, "For instance, a new tuba can run as high as don't know how to take care of an instrument properly," Pranter $6,500. "But most of the damage we said, "Just since I've been in the repair business, I've learned more see is from minor day-to-day stuff." about them.

CSU orchestra remains busy By Andrea Simon Central State University's fiftyfive member orchestra has remained busy throughout this semester, performing two previous concerts on campus including a joint performance with the CSU choir. Orchestra director, Dr. Roger Strong, is currently preparing the musicians for a joint production with the choir which will be performed at 3 p.m. Dec. 4 at Mitchell Hall.

"It will be an enjoyable Christmas performance, with various Christmas music," said Strong. Strong also mentioned the talent within the orchestra this year. Eight freshmen were first chair or concert masters in high school. Strong explained that this can be compared to All-State in high school and felt the surplus of talent in the orchestra reflected on the quality of CSU.

Campus Culture By Kim Champlin

hat is art? Well, whatever you think art is, you can find it at the Central State Museum of Art. That's right, an art museum located right in the heart of the Broncho campus. The museum features different exhibits throughout the year. Some showcase local artists while others feature only student art. The current show, which continues through Dec.13, is a group presentation of one-man exhibits by Central State University students completing art degrees. Student presentations feature many types of art, including jewelry design, painting and sculpture.

"The artist, like the trunk of the tree, is really doing nothing else than accumulating what comes from the depth and passes it on. He neither serves nor commands; he is an intermediary. . . Beauty has merely passed through him." Paul Klee, Swiss artist.

Troup set for stage By Lynn Gravitt and Kim Arinwine

Lea Kachel practices a routine for an upcoming recital at Deer Creek High School.

Theater assistant, Sam Morris, works the curtains during the production of "The End of the World with Symposium to Follow."

Behind the Scenes By Nancy Broyles and Barbara Jaramillo Opening night is around the corner, yet there is so much to do. Lights need to be hung, props need to be gathered, costumes need adjusting, and make-up has to be touched up. Central State University's drama department has mastered this task before, and there is no doubt they will do it again. Like a puzzle, the set is put together piece by piece. While theatre assistant Sam Morris is altering costumes at the theater, technical director Matt Aston is in the props room building the set. Until the time of the curtain call, the cast is busily rehearsing lines and assuming their characters. "Everyone gives more than their share. Even the actors help design the set and make

costumes," said Morris, "but it depends on the particulars of the show." With everyone giving more than 100 percent, the show runs smoothly. "From the time Dr. Bristow assigns duties, it takes approximately six weeks to complete everything for opening night," said Morris. There is monotony and chaos up until opening night curtain call, but everything falls in place. The set is complete, the props are all in the right place, and everyone remembers their lines; the show is a success. When the last performance is over, the work still goes on. The set has to be taken down and the props are put in storage until the next production.

unique dance troup on Central State's campus, the Kaleidoscope Dance Troup, is designed to teach participants various dance forms. The troup performs everything from modern to ballet, and most performances are geared for elementary children to interest them in dance at an early age. Tryouts are held each semester to fill the open positions and, depending on the budget, each dancer is awarded a scholarship for their hard work. The current troup consists of 13 women and 3 men. Kaleidoscope performs around ten recitals each semester, with fall being their busiest semester.

The troup is responsible for designing their colorful, elaborate costumes. Jennifer Proctor, an active member of the Kaleidoscope Dance Troup for two years, responded when asked why she continues to try out each semester, "because I like to express myself through dance and I enjoy the benefits of learning about dance and the physical aspects...because I simply love it!" Ballet was first added to the Central State curriculum in 1987. Jamie Jacobson is currently the faculty dance instructor at CSU and teaches courses in ballet, modern dance, jazz, and theatre dance. "Ballet techniques are used in

every form of dance. It is a tool that takes you where you want to go in dance. Ballet helps you develop a disciplined body," Jacobson said. Since ballet classes have begun here at CSU, they have carried maximum enrollment, with size limited to 20 students so that proper form and technique can be developed. Body builders at CSU take ballet to build strength and endurance. "There is a growing interest in dance. We are currently working on promoting a Dance Education degree for the first time at CSU. The main emphasis will be in three areas; performance, choreography and teaching. We are very excited about this program," Jacobson said.
