CSU could face fiscal cutbacks By Mark Schlachtenhaufen Staff Writer Gov.-elect David Walters has requested Oklahoma public higher education institutions to seek ways to streamline fiscal year 1992 budgets by 15 percent.

CSU drug abuse program starts By Karen Adkins Student Writer Students helping students is the basis for a new program at Central State University that trains volunteer students to educate fellow students about substance abuse. Helping U; Giving Support (H.U.G.S.) was formed this semester as part of CSU's Campus Organization for a Substance Free Environment, a substance-abuse program for students, faculty and staff. "It is the first time a program of this type
has been activated on campus," Jan Chapel, substance abuse coordinator, said. H.U.G.S. is recruiting student volunteers to serve as peer facilitators for the spring semester and is asking faculty to recommend students for the program, said Wendy Kidd, program assistant. The idea behind the peer-facilitator program is that substance abusers often prefer to talk to a friend or someone their own age, Kidd said, rather than an authority figure. Sixteen students have applied to be peer facilitators and six students are already
working with H.U.G.S., Kidd said. Volunteers will be trained throughout the spring semester to provide education and support for problems involving substance abuse, co-dependency, adult children of alcoholics or dysfunctional families, and personal emotional concerns, Chapel said. COSAFE will be conducting classroom surveys during the spring semester to research how many students are using drugs, what types and how often, Chapel said. Students interested in being peer facilitators can call Chapel at Ext. 2581. V
If cuts are forthcoming, specific Central State University programs could be eliminated, said Joyce Mounce, administrative vice president. A 15 percent state budget reduction would mean millions of dollars less for CSU payroll, programs and facilities. CSU's FY 1991 budget was $26.1 million. Using the 1991 figure as an estimate, a 15 percent reduction would be $3.9 million less, or $22.2 million. Walters' information-gathering effort is due to several factors, said Bill Crain, Walters' press secretary. Grim economic forecasts, the threat of a U.S.-Iraq war, and a need to determine which state agencies could receive funding reductions will be examined by the governor-elect, Crain said. However, such measures are common during transition phases. "At first, the governor-elect sent a letter to all state agencies asking them to find ways to cut 15 percent from their budgets," Mounce said. Walters' transition team broadened its request last month to higher education. • See FISCAL, back page.
Cheney said U.S. shouldn't rely on economic sanctions
Environmental resolutions to open arctic oil fields
WASHINGTON (AP)—The United States cannot be sure economic sanctions will ever force Iraq out of Kuwait, and waiting for such an uncertain outcome would risk erosion of the international coalition behind military force, Defense Secretary Dick Cheney said Monday. Cheney, laying out to the Senate Armed Services Committee the administration's rationale for building up a military force for possible attack in the Persian Gulf, gave the most pessimistic view yet on the potential of sanctions to work. "Given the nature of the regime, given Saddam Hussein's brutality to his own people, his very tight control of that society, his ability to allocate resources for the military, their ability to produce their own food ... he can ride them out," Cheney told the committee.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP)—The federal government and oil producers have resolved an environmental dispute that had stalled production at part of a vast Alaskan oilfield near Prudhoe Bay. The Army Corps of Engineers, the main opponent of the project, agreed Friday to a plan in which Arco, BP Exploration and Exxon would spend an estimated $50 million in the drilling area to ease fish migration in the Beaufort Sea. The agreement clears the way for production to begin within two years at the Point McIntyre field, where the oil companies own rights to an estimated 300 million barrels.
Walters seeks prison reform OKLAHOMA CITY (AP)— Gov.—elect David Walters said Monday he would give high priority to providing substance abuse treatment and literacy training to all state prison inmates in need of those services. Walters asked Department of Corrections officials to estimate how much it would cost to provide such treatment and schooling to all qualifying state prison inmates. He speculated that treating inmates for drug and alcohol abuse, plus cutting down on inmate illiteracy, could reduce the recidivism rate by 20 percent, based on success the system has had with its vo-tech program.

ere it is folks: the greatest unclaimed challenge for student government in the United States. Any aspiring reformer who can do an effective job of making our student senate into an organization of merit—one that has the respect of the majority of the student body—could go on to handle any office of responsibility in the land. both unclaimed and Yes, there the challenge sits disdained. Not only has the student senate failed to make a dent in campus indifference, but it has fallen under the influence of regional politics. Evidently, living in Oklahoma has caused them to succumb to the hypnosis of the status quo, and now they sleepwalk through a trance of petty skullduggery, neurotic mischief and pointless legislation. Rather than being innovative within the freedom of an academic environment, the student senate has become a murky reflection of the worthless and ingrown Oklahoma Legislature. It's not a lack of talent or intelligence that's to blame. People like Peter Regan, David Slane and their frequent opponent Randal Terrill are some of the brightest minds on this campus. One problem has been a lack of guidance from those campus elders with the political know-how to coach the senators. Student services Dean Dudley Ryan, faculty sponsor to the student senate, has seemed content to let them burn their political house down. Perhaps Statesman-in-Residence George Nigh could be more concerned with being a mentor to student legislators. The senate members have been abandoned. Like trapped animals, lost between poisonous local influences and a lack of counsel, they have squandered their college careers going at each others' throats. Who knows what brilliant leadership might have emerged—for the state or the nation? Worse yet, they don't even see the problem. Every time anyone tries to point out the student senate's flaws, the senate assumes malicious intent, a paranoid assumption rooted in the narrow-mindedness of Machiavellian thinking. Pathetic. Absolutely pathetic. Someone needs to come along and shine the light of leadership on the student senate and encourage all that untapped potential to blossom into something of consequence at the University of Central Oklahoma.

orty-three and counting. Are you counting, George? 43 young Americans dead. Carried out on their desert shields, innocent victims of your short-sighted, knee-jerk policy in the Middle East. You didn't learn a thing from Vietnam, did you? I have listened to your spurious rhetoric, and I am sickened. Your pathetic attempts to try and convince the American people that we are in the desert for some noble purpose is an affront to our intelligence. We know that you and your cabinet of fools worship almighty oil and cheap gas, so spare us the drivel about stopping the aggresion of a big bully like Hussein.
Where was your outrage and indignation when the Chinese government massacred thousands of students who desperately wanted freedom? I don't recall you sending any American troops over to the Far East to help the students. And what about Afghanistan, George? As I recall the USSR went pouring into that country very much like Hussein did to Kuwait. Let's see ... what did we do? Oh, yes, we boycotted the Olympics. Tell the families of our hostages who are still languishing in Lebanon why you're not sending troops in there to get them out. I mean, why all the fuss now about hostages when for five years we have
not done a damn thing except sell 'em more weapons. We're in this mess because our government would rather spend billions on a Star Wars system that will never work, or a stupid bomber that costs billions that we'll never use, instead of developing alternate energy sources or at least maximizing the natural gas resources we have now.

Abortion: it's a personal choice
W
omen, whose bodies bear all consequences of reproduction, need to be allowed to make their own decisions about abortion. The gift of childbearing is one of the greatest gifts given to a woman. However, when a pregnancy occurs at a wrong time, whether it be rape, incest or others, it can devastate a woman's life. For this woman, abortion becomes a safe solution. Pro-choicers feel this procedure is as inalienable as the freedom of speech and religion. No one in this nation is told to be quiet or to pray to a certain being or god. In turn,
women should not be told they have to carry a fetus to term. If a woman thinks that it is fundamental for her not to have a child, she knows her situation best, and she should be allowed to make the decision. If the right to have an abortion were to be taken from women, it is feared that many would return to having illegal abortions. The unsafe, unsanitary conditions under which these abortions would be performed could pose a threat to the woman's life. If we tell women they can not have abortions, many people at
home and abroad may speculate as to how close we are to the principles of communism. We need to tell Pro-lifers that we do have a say about the outcome of our nation, society and personal lives. Women are capable of making personal decisions about their futures. As Americans, we need to maintain our beliefs in our selfdetermined values and personal freedom to keep our democratic nation a model one.

A prayer for final exam week
H
ere is a poem for all Central State students to say each night before their finals:
Now I lay me down to study I pray to the Lord that I won't go nutty. And when I learn all this important junk, I pray to the Lord that I won't flunk. Now I lay me down to rest, Thinking about tomorrow's test. If I should flunk instead of pass, I pray the same for the rest of the class.
If I should die before I wake, Place me in the middle of Thatcher Lake. Put my books upon my chest, And let my headstone read, "SHE DID HER BEST." Amen
— Sonya Hardiman CSU student

FASA hosts cultural dance By Barbara DeWailley

The FASA sponsored a dance Nov. 24 at North Park Mall in conjunction with United Artist's release of "Dances With Wolves." Bill Tallbear, FASA member and dance emcee, said, "Many people think the Indian way is dying, but there are those who are trying to preserve it." Terry White, FASA vice president, was among the dancers who performed. White said he and Margie Allen, psychology major and North Park Mall Theater manager, planned the dance to illustrate the authenticity depicted in the new Kevin Costner movie, something many Indians find lacking in most Hollywood fare. White said the movie tries to stay exact depicting Sioux culture, incorporating into the script some Lakota, the Sioux language. V

Class to aid assertiveness By Susan Chambers

Afraid to say what you really feel? Doubtful about your choice of words? Feel like other people are pushing you around? Central State University may have a class just for you. An assertive communications institute will be offered in the spring semester by CSU's oral communications department. Dr. Barbara Norman, oral communications chairwoman and instructor for the class, said the institute will offer valuable skills.

to grant them but don't feel like they have been taken advantage of," Norman said. This class has been offered before and is being offered again because there seems to be a new group of people interested in such skills, Norman said. "The course is designed for people who either feel like they are too passive ... or for people who are overly aggressive to learn some techniques for getting things without alienating others," Norman said.
Norman said the course will account for one hour of undergraduate credit and is scheduled to meet from 1:40 to 3:30 p.m. Tuesdays. The class will use a text, watch recommended films, and participate in role playing, Norman said. "I will set up situations for role playing based on places where people generally feel uncomfortable in being assertive," Norman said. For more information, contact Norman at Ext. 5581. V
IF YOU COULD USE s18,000+ FOR COLLEGE TALK TO US FIRST. The Army Reserve Alternate Training Program can help you earn a nice chunk of college money for a small amount of your time.

Counselor warns of holiday blues By Mark Schlachtenhaufen
Staff Writer The holidays—a time for jingle bells, presents by the tree and family—can be the most depressing time of the year for people isolated from the warmth of home. "Basically, seasonal afflictions are usually brought on by an individuals vulnerability to stress and depression," said Peggy Foster di-
rector of counseling and testing. "Students are usually up for the holidays because they know they are going home." While most Central State University students look forward to going home for the holidays, international students staying in Edmond may be faced with the holiday blues, Foster said. "It is not their religious holiday," Foster said. "They should try to take advandtage of a prog-
ram which matches them up with local families." Patricia Heiberg, graduate college employee who helped form Citizens Responding to International Students (CRISP), said the group gives stranded students a chance to experience American culture. Families may invite international students on shopping excursions or to Christmas celebration, Heiberg said.
Excessive use of alcohol, a depressent, should be avoided during holidays, Foster said. Many people try to cope with life's everyday stressors by drinking alcohol. Various excercises can counter holiday depression, Foster said. Aerobics and walking may help lessen stress. Advance planning for a holiday get-together can ease feelings of isolation and loneliness, she said. V
Profs 'Broadway Bound' in theater Oklahoma City's Jewel Box Theater to play Neil Simon trilogy By Karen Adkins
Student Writer
Lee Hicks and Roberta Sloan
Two Central State University professors are cast in major roles at Jewel Box Theater's upcoming production of Neil Simon's "Broadway Bound." Dr. Roberta Sloan, assistant professor of oral communication, and Dr. Lee Hicks, who retired from Sloan's present postion in

1988, will play Simon's parents, Kate and Ben, in the final installment of the autobiographical trilogies. The trilogies include "Brighton Beach Memoirs" and "Biloxi Blues." The current production, "Broadway Bound," will play from Nov. 29 to Dec. 16. The three plays tell the story of Neil Simon's youth through the age of 23, when his writing career takes off. "Broadway Bound" is a bittersweet memory about Neil Simon breaking into
show business and his family life, Sloan said. Sloan said although she has known Hicks for many years, they have never been in a play together and did not realize they were both trying out for the same play. Hicks is a native of Prague and joined the CSU faculty in 1954. Since his retirement in 1988 he has held various acting positions in Oklahoma City. This summer he will be working with the theater at the University of Pennsylvania. V

Cagers 'slam' Hawaiians Bronchos dunk nine times in 109-93 rout of Hilo By Bill Kramer Sports Editor For the 34th time in school history and the fourth time this year, Central State University topped the century scoring mark, en route to a 109-93 spanking of NA1A Hawaii-Hilo University before about 800 fans Tuesday in the Broncho Field House. The Bronchos recorded nine slam dunks during the contest, the
first coming a minute and a half into the game as senior center "Magic" Marlon Brown finished an ally-oop. Brown led the dunk parade with four, finishing with 13 points. nine rebounds and four steals. Senior guard Shawn Williams led CSU with 25 points, including seven 3-pointers. Freshman teammate James Morris added 23 and 15 rebounds (10 of which were deICI1SiVe boards).
Wrestlers open year against OU Sunday By Bill Kramer Sports Editor The No. 2-ranked Central State University wrestling team opens its 1990-91 dual schedule at 3 p.m. Sunday, playing host to long-time intrastate rival Oklahoma University in Broncho Field House. The Bronchos, NCAA II runners-up a year ago, figure in as the underdog, although OU returns no starters from its seventhbest Division I team from last year. The Sooners own a 27-8-2 advantage in the series, which started in the 1922-23 season. OU has won 19 consecutive meetings, including last year's 22-15 victory in Norman. CSU has not won since 1939. Last week, the Bronchos came away with two champions at the Fort Hays State University Open in Fort Hays, Kan. Redshirt freshman Randy Zellner (Owasso) and defending 167-pound Division II champion Howard Moore (Coweta) won titles for CSU. The Bronchos had 12 placers overall in the meet.

"We lost some tight matches at Fort Hays, but overall I thought e wrestled pretty well," said Broncho Head Coach David James. The Sooners, 0-1, are coming off a season-opening 33-5 loss at Arizona State last week. OU is led by 19-year Head Coach Stan Abel, whose career record is 252-96-8 and is the Sooners' all-time winningest coach. OU, the nation's 31st-ranked Division I school had two placers in last week's Las Vegas Invitational. Jason Leonard placed sixth at 167 and Kyle Scrimgeour was seventh at 177. "I think we match up pretty good with OU, and it should be an exciting dual," James said. "We've both got a bunch of young kids who are hungry to prove themselves. There aren't many clear-cut favorites, so most of the matches will probably be decided in the third period." In previous matches at open tournaments this year between Bronchos and Sooners this season, OU holds a 5-3 match lead, making them the favorite Sunday.

Similar action could be taken again. Also, data from a 7 percent reduction scenario plan collected in 1989 may be used to meet the 15 percent figure, Mounce said. Other cutbacks could come from vacant positions which would not be filled. V SCRIBE MICISWERED CLEVER REIT REIBIV E

it would not be detailed, Mounce said. "I don't believe there will he any cuts," Mounce said. If cuts are forthcomin g , Walters asked higher education institutions to find programs "marginal in effectiveness" that could be reduced or eliminated. Administration would take the balance of CSU cutbacks, Mounce said. Specific "weak" university programs may be eliminated, she said. Funding limitations in 1984 resulted in administrative staff personnel taking larger responsibilities. Some staff performed two jobs, she said.

After assessing education pluses and minuses to help avoid duplication, funding cuts would be added to Walters' 1992 budget request, if needed.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP)-A tearful state Sen. Leo Kingston was sentenced Monday to eight years in prison on his conviction on counts alleging he defrauded the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. "The system has spoken. I fully accept responsibility and punishment," the Oklahoma City Republican told U.S. District Judge David Russell. "I intend to be a model prisoner," A federal jury convicted Kingston in September of 15 counts in his alleged scheme against HUD. Wife Paulette was convicted of one count of equity skimming. She was sentenced last week to 18 months in prison. Prosecuters allege Kingston used front men to fraudulently obtaM more than S180,000 in government-backed montages. The Kingstons also collected rent from property that was in default, prosecuters said. "I really didn't know how you were able to keep up with all of the deceptions which you practiced on so many people," Russell told Kingston on Monday.

Officials say wells contaminated OKLAHOMA CITY (AP)-The state Health Department on Tuesday advised owners of seven water wells immediately northeast of Tinker Air Force Base not to drink water from those wells. The advisory was issued after low levels of chlorinated solvents were found in samples taken from private wells in the area. However, health officials stressed that the level of contamination was not high enough to cause immediate concern for acute health effects to those who who had been drinking the water. They also said there was no significant risk in using the water for bathing, cleaning or dishwashing. In May, the Health Department had begun sampling a number of private water wells near the edge of Tinker, as well as public water supply wells in the vicinity of the base. The testing began after public disclosure by Tinker of proposed cleanup plans for groundwater contaminated with chlorinated solvents on the base near Building 3001. That part of Tinker became a Superfund site in 1987 beacuse of contamination to the shallow groundwater beneath the building.
