Proposed plan waives out-of-state tuition By Shannon Blockcolski Editor Students who want to attend a university outside of Oklahoma
may no longer have to pay out-ofstate tuition, in certain instances, according to Dr. Clyde Jacob, vice president of academic affairs.
'Pseudo' team wins second college bowl The "Pseudosesquipedaleans," featuring Steve Wooden, Christopher Fisher, John Burdick, Jim Sharkey and Dan Sutter, were the first place winners of CSU's second annual College Bowl tournament held Friday and Saturday in the Liberal Arts Building, according to Lisa Coen, student senator. Wooden, who was captain of the winning team, also was selected most valuable player of the tournament, Coen said. "Everything went smoothly and we had a lot of fun," Coen said. "Sammy's Scholars," M.T. Fisher, captain, Paul Hammond, Glen Kilgour, Brent D. Spencer and Ben F. Ketchum, placed second after two final rounds with the "Pseudosesquipedaleans." "It was very interesting that the Pseudosesquipedaleans lost the first round, but came back to win the losers bracket and the tourna-
Under the academic common market program, colleges and universities within the southern region would essentially agree to share programs not offered at each institution, Jacob said. "For example, if we offer a program not offered in other states, such as funeral service, we would allow students from other states who want to participate in
the program to attend our university for in-state tuition cost," Jacob said. The academic common market also would allow students from Oklahoma colleges and universities to attend out-of-state institutions for in-state cost if the program they enroll in is not offered in Oklahoma. "The new academic common
market plan is just under discussion, and has been for some time," Jacob said. Currently any student graduating from an Oklahoma junior college can enroll in any Oklahoma four-year-college or university and automatically receive 30 hours of credit, according to the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education.
ment," Coen said. The College Bowl committee also selected four all-stars, Kelly Chancellor, Glen Kilgour, Paul Hammond and Kelly Sprankle. They will attend the regional tournament with Wooden, and Sharkey as alternate. The judges for the tournament were Dr. James Baker, professor of history and geography; Judith Coe, assistant professor of administration, vocational, adult and higher education; Dr. Barbara Norman, chairperson of the oral communications department; Dr. Terrill Smith, professor of chemistry; Gene Hellstern, assistant professor of history and geography and Raymond Beasley, assistant professor of math and statistics. Jeff Shilling, president of the CSU Student Association, and Beasley presented the full year tuition scholarships to the members of the "Pseudosesquipedaleans."
Traditional festival features Christmas choir performance By Marvel Lewis Student Writer "Hanging of the Green," a music festival sponsored by the CSU Department of Music and the University Center Activities Board (UCAB), was presented Thursday in the University Center Ballroom. The event has been a tradition for the past nineteen years, according to Randy Meador, activities sponsor for UCAB. The evening was highlighted with a choral concert of Christmas songs, Meador said. "The songs are traditional Christmas songs with a modern flare," Meador said. The festival also featured the lighting of a 22 feet high Christmas tree, which is the biggest ever, Meador said, and a visit from Santa Claus.
Meador said the university clubs and organizations presented Christmas wreaths to persons who have made outstanding contributions to their organizations during the past year. "It's their way of showing appreciation to someone who has helped them during the year," Meador said. This was the last music festival for Dr. Coleman Smith, choir director and Ann Shanks, kaleidoscope director, who are retiring after the spring semester this year, Meador said. The festival also included performances by the C.S.U. choir and brass ensemble, Kaleidoscope dancers, Mens Glee Club, Mens Quartet, Tunesmiths and the Hallelujah Chorus. The evening ended with the children taking pictures with Santa Claus.
