CPR offered for novices and instructors By Tim Ray Central State University will offer workshops in "Basic CPR" and "CPR Instructor" during the 1985 spring semester. The Basic CPR workshop will be offered the weekend of Jan 24-26, while the CPR Instructor workshop will be held the following weekend, Jan. 31-Feb. 2. Permission from the instructor is re-

quired to take each workshop, and CPR certification is required for the CPR Instructor workshop. Students who complete the workshop will earn their Red Cross certification in CPR. "Some are taking it for the certificate so that they can get a job saving lives. Others are taking it simply to learn how to save

lives," said Pinkston, explaining that sometimes people pick up incorrect CPR methods from watching television. Students who pass the CPR Instructor workshop will receive certificates entitling them to teach CPR. Textbooks, films and mannequins will be used in the workshops. The workshop will meet 6-10 p.m. Thrus-

day, 6-10 p.m. Friday and 8 a.m.-5p.m. Saturday in Room 204 of the Health and Physical Education building. Students will receive one hour of upper level physical education credit. Enrollment for each workshop is limited to 40. For more information on the workshops, students may contact Dr. Pinkston (Basic CPR) at 341-2980, ext. 2144 .

Being Santa has its rewards By Jane A. Dunn Most people think being Santa is a grueling, thankless job. All those squalling kids and pushy moms, but according to one CSU student, being Santa has many rewards. John McMahan, 31, is a psychology major who is earning extra money this holiday season by playing Santa Claus at Shepard Mall. As well as letting small children dribble on his chest while asking for Cabbage Patch Kids and Care Bears, John poses for pictures with anyone who wants to sit on Santa's lap. He says that the most unusual gift requested, was by a 7 year old girl for a baby grand piano. The most frequently asked for present is a Cabbage Patch Kid. His favorite lap sitters are the young women who seem to feel that Santa is sexy. John really loves to surprise his friends who come into Shepard Mall and don't know that he is playing Santa, by calling to them by name. He says it really freaksrout their children, too.

Regents conduct technical program study Institutions in the Oklahoma state system of higher education are operating 499 technical education programs this year with an estimated enrollment of 34,295 students. According to an inventory of technicaloccupationl programs conducted by the State Regents' staff, a total of $75 million is budgeted for the operation of collegiate-level technical education programs in the state system this year. The two-year institutions in the state system operate the bulk of the technical programs, 462, with the remaining 37 spread among eight universities. Available through the 499 programs are 400 associate degree options and 222 certificate options (one year or less). Each of the programs in the inventory is rated ac-

cording to the manpower needs in its field. An "A" rating indicates a "substantial manpower shortage" in the field and a need for expanded enrollment and programs. At the lower end of the scale, an "E" rating would indicate a manpower surplus and the need to eliminate existing programs. A total of 414 programs in the inventory received "A" and "B" (need for expanded enrollment, but no new programs) ratings. The remainder of the programs fell into the "C" category—no need for expansion in either enrollment or programs. There are 31 technical programs offered in the agriculture related areas, 161 business and officerelated, and 182 engineering- and industrial-related. Health-related programs number 54; home economics, 26 and human services-related, 45. -
