Record enrollment anticipated By Martha Giglio Editor

A record number of students clogged the enrollment rolls this semester at Central State University, Darrell Gilliland, director of admissions and records, said. Freshman enrollment is up 9.5 percent, and overall enrollment is up 2.8 percent, compared to the number of those enrolled by the second day of classes last year. Should enrollment continue to increase at this level, Gilliland expects total enrollment figures to exceed the previous record of 13,866 set last fall. As of 5 p.m. Tuesday, 360 new students had enrolled at CSU. "We're anticipating that if space is found for all the students, then enrollment will exceed 14,000, the largest enrollment in history," said Gilliland. The figures were somewhat of a surprise to university officials. "About a month ago, we were not planning for it. By August 1, we became aware when many of our classes were full, especially freshman sections. Now it appears we'll have more than 1,300 new

freshman," said Gilliland. The huge enrollment has forced officials to create classroom space in buildings already crowded to the maximum. News of CSU holding an algebra class in a casket selection area even made The Dallas Morning News and USA Today.

students found their classes, and everyone was extremely cooperative. Overall, students have had a very positive reac-

tion," Lynd said. Six sections of education, English, math and Spanish have been scheduled in the church.

Classes began meeting there Wednesday. Lynd said CSU Please see Crowd on page 3.

"In the Health Sciences Building there was a display of antique caskets, which are now standing on end, and a class is meeting there, said Gilliland. Arrangements have been made with First United Methodist Church, 305 E. Hurd, to rent classroom space for Monday, Wednesday and Friday classes, Gilliland said. "We need another building. We've reached the saturation point," he said. Despite the crunch of students, Assistant Vice President for Academic Affairs Dr. Albert Lynd said students are adjusting well to the crowded conditions. "Everything is going well. Things are running smoothly. Ninety-seven percent of the

Redesign scheduled for CSU newspaper By Martha Giglio

Formulation of a new design is in the works for The Vista. Mark Hanebutt, who took over as director of the newspaper last spring, is attempting to improve both the format of The Vista and its production. Just prior to Hanebutt's arrival at Central State University, the newspaper had faced the inevitable upheaval which occurs with the departure of two directors over a short period of time. "At the start, we decided to make some internal changes. With the help of the editor, Jack Money, we devised a beat system so we could cover the campus better. We also made some other changes to streamline in-house production," said Hanebutt. This summer, work was begun

on improving the actual make-up of the paper. A prototype was created using the latest ideas in newspaper design. "We are attempting to bring The Vista up-to-date and on-par with other campus newpapers across the country. I took the prototype to Chicago over the summer break and discussed it with a former colleague, the assistant managing editor in charge of the Sunday Chicago Tribune and former graphics editor at the paper," Hanebutt said. The new design incorporates typefaces and lay-out designs which produce a cleaner, sharper look, he said. The final design is still being fine-tuned by the staff, but will be completed and inaugurated some time this semester.

Faculty, staff and administrative raises, allocation of funds received from the legislature, Nigh Institute plans and reports from college deans were the subject of the Aug. 18 faculty and staff meetings at Mitchell Hall. Central State University President Bill Lillard announced that the university received a 2.95 percent increase or $600,000, in state appropriations. He said he expected to gather $2.9 million from increased fees and tuition. He also said the budget called for using $1.5 million from reserves. "Funds aren't always what they appear. We need to raise tuition, fees and enrollment figures," said Lillard.

Salaries for all employees are top priority, he said. Lillard hopes to add nine faculty spots for those lost. About $170,000 would be allocated for those salaries; $500,000 will be allocated for the library; $732,000 is for equipment and $125,000 will pay for utilities. The City of Edmond raised the university's water

rates by 46 percent. Salaries for faculty were raised by an average of 7.5 to 8 percent. Administrator's salaries increased by 5.5 to 6 percent. Secretaries received raises of 11.7 percent and professional librarians' salaries went up 11.3 percent. Dr. Lillard was optimistic about the year. "I'm more enthusiastic about the start of this year than the last four or five years. We've participated, shared and suffered together. But we've bottomed out. We're on the way up. This should be one of the best academic years we've had," he said. At a general faculty meeting following the staff meeting, former Gov. George Nigh announced plans of three scheduled evenings this year. The first will be a Congressional Delegation, which will include all Oklahoma senators and congressmen. The second evening will focus on the military, and commanding officers of all installations in the state, plus members of the 45th Infantry and representatives of ROTC will be invited.

The third evening will highlight the judiciary, and judges from across the state including the Oklahoma Supreme Court will be present. Nigh also plans to sponsor an event in every college in connection with the university's centenniel activities. At the meeting, Dr. Clyde Jacob Jr., vice president for academic affairs, announced expanded responsibilities for the graduate office. In addition to their primary overseeing of the graduate program, the office will now develop a faculty research program and manage a university graduate assistance program. To accommodate expansion in several colleges due to reorganization, an assistant dean position will be established in each college, Jacob said. Effective this semester, the position, which has been approved by the president, will be filled by a faculty member designated by each dean, and will serve at his pleasure. The appointee will retain faculty status and rank, and will receive release time of onehalf of his teaching load. He will continue to receive full pay.

Kalman voted as speaker Tim Kalman was elected speaker of the Central State University Student Association at its first meeting of the year Monday. Committee chairpersons who were appointed include Dan Moore, appointed as deputy speaker, and Jeff Shilling, former association president, appointed

to the post of parliamentarian. Randal Terrell was appointed historian. Committee chairs were also named and they are as follows: Kirk Killian, Continuum Committee; Joacquin Stevens, Student Activities Committee; Terry LaFrance, Publicity Committee; Brad Cartmill, Student/Faculty

Relations Committee and Monte Townsend, Budget Committee. "Basically this was an informational meeting," said Coen. "We'll be starting a big campaign drive to elect senators and appoint supreme court justices." Students interested in becoming senators can contact Coen at ext. 3337 on the CSU campus.

Regents faulted for coffin classes By Martha Giglio Editor A buzz of optimism fills the air as students, faculty and staff jam the campus this semester. All fulltime employees have received raises, new goals have been defined and long-needed physical improvements are underway. Projected enrollment figures indicate a record number of students will inject much-needed funds into the system. The largest freshman class ever has crowded onto campus, which has sent administration scurrying for places to put students.

Editorial And that underscores the urgent need for a new generalpurpose classroom building at Central State University. When a school must ask students to study algebra in a casket selection room, it's time to add more classrooms. The Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education ought to visit the campus and see for themselves the severe overcrowding. They should sit in an area in Central Cafeteria and try to concentrate on a child psychology lecture. They should squeeze into a space in a class designed for 35 students which holds 55, elbow to elbow. They should listen to the arrangements being made to rent church space for students spilling off campus.

Then they might understand the critical problem the school is contending with. Some laugh at the prospect of students meeting in a casket selection area. Actually, the administration has been as resourceful as possible. But it can't solve the problem alone. The administration has been as resourceful as possible. But it can't solve the problem alone. CSU requested funds from the state regents for a building several years ago.

nearby schools improved? And CSU has consistently attracted more students over the past few years. It is centrally located and students find it convenient to find jobs in nearby Oklahoma City. They can live at

home, another way to to manage scarce dollars in this uncertain economy. It is blatently unfair to award OU and OSU the lion's share of funding. The regents would be wise to rethink their priorities.

A fine system of education in a state is the key to a healthy economy. It is the key to the future. It is something citizens can benefit from and be proud of. It is a disgrace to the state to have classes among the coffins.

Now... .6410 HAD ik CaSTIOr4 /1/40-6 OUT lE cilEmtc A L clgOkki â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;fo(z- -p fx0005 7-10:

The state regents need to recognize the fact that a new building is desperately needed. They must understand that allocating only 18.13 percent of funds appropriated by the State Legislature is not adequate for the six regional schools, which serve 25 to 30 percent of the state students. It is all well and good for the regents to have the goal of bringing state instutitions up to the level on par of like-type institutions in surrounding states. But why not do it at the same rate for all universities in the state? Why did the regents deem it necessary to elevate the level of the comprehensive schools, OU and OSU, so drastically, and the level of the remaining schools, of which CSU is one, so much less? That is inherently unfair not only to students, but to citizens statewide. Many students can not attend the comprehensive schools for geographic reasons. Why should they be penalized by not having the same opportunity to have

Let's pull the plug on conventions By Martha Giglio Editor The Democratic and the Republican conventions blitzed into American homes via television this summer and both were exactly the same in one respect: their attempt to present their candidates in appealing packages.

Commentary Carefully chosen and coor-

dinated color schemes, meticulously designed platforms and emotionally packed videos were presented with one goal in mind. The parties wanted their candidates to look good and make viewers feel good. But where were the floor fights and the haggling of days-gone-by? Where was the suspense? Where were the issues? Where was the drama? In short, where was the political process?

Both parties have succeeded in using television to its maximum advantage. But by doing so, they have so obscured the process of selecting presidential candidates that one wonders if, from the voter's point of view, TV has become a handicap rather than an aid. The candidates now rely wholly on canned speeches, written by unseen writers, who cleverly present exactly what will sound good. Important controversial information is rarely divulged. The

conventions have deteriorated into orchestrated exhibitions which more closely resemble advertisements. Perhaps if TV coverage were eliminated, candidates would again have to appeal to voter's minds, rather than their vision. The fact that viewers are dwindling and networks are considering the value of continued broadcast is a blessing in disguise.

Oversell of sex needs cold shower By Vicki Hill Student Writer Over the past 15 years, the use of sex appeal to sell an item or idea has climbed to an all-time high. It has even reached the point of overlapping into sexism.

Opinion Two decades ago, advertisers used a pretty smile or an attractive face to sell a product, and movie

scripts contained an occasional smooch. Today, commercials use too much sex appeal to sell even the most common products.

table viewing a couple on screen in an intimate moment, something that used to be considered private.

Authors, scriptwriters, and filmmakers also overuse sex appeal in their work.

Top-rated novels also include several juicy love scenes, which often include a fiery love-triangle. The same can be said of TV soap operas.

A motion picture in the 1980s is not considered top-rated unless a love scene is included in which some beautiful woman is shown naked in full view. American audiences are growing more collator-

Music videos contain so many beautiful, half-naked women that music censorship has become questionable. Even some of the lyrics of music are becoming somewhat perverse.

Sex appeal and sexism is constantly being thrust into the minds of the American public. Women and their bodies are being exploited to make a dollar, while the morals of this country's young are tossed out the window. Children grow up with the notion that it is all right' to use sex to express an idea. In a country in which sex crimes and abuse are at an all-time high, a new direction will have to be taken or impressionable, young minds will be lost.

maintenance personnel brought desks, chairs and tables to the church. Lynd said every available space on campus is being used. The first priority of the school is to use space on campus before going off. I f necessary, more space is available at the church, and other churches and facilities near the campus have offered space. The enrollment jump is part of a trend since 1979, said CSU President Bill Lillard. To accommodate growth, three buildings have been added since then. CSU had to dip into its own funding for two-thirds of the money; the regents provided only one-third of the funding. Capital improvements funds have been requested from both boards of regents to build a new general purpose building, but no funds have been received to this date, Lillard said. "Until we receive funds, we'll have to do as families do and make the best of it. We're not going to turn anyone away."

Do you need cash for college? $150,000,000(million) in scholarships, grants and financial aid went unclaimed last year because students didn't know how or where to find them.

Regents find inequity in allocation of funds By Rhonda Shalaby Associate Editor

During its August 8 meeting, the Board of Regents of Oklahoma Colleges presented a resolution condemning the inequity in the allocation of funds by the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education. The resolution indicated that while the need for the regional universities was represented to be more than $175 million, 20.4 percent of all higher education needs in the state, only $101.6 million, 18.13 percent, of the total budget allocations was made to the six regional Oklahoma schools. If the allocation was made on a pro rata basis, the regional universities would have received an additional $12.7 million. Moreover, out of nearly $29 million additional funds appropriated by the Legislature for higher education, 86 percent went to the University of Oklahoma and Oklahoma State University,

leaving only 14 percent for Central State University and the rest of the regional colleges. "We (regional colleges) hoped to receive a third of the additional funds," said Joyce Mounce, CSU vice president of administration. Mounce said the Regents of Higher Education aimed to match the level of funds of OU and OSU with their peer institutions in other states. "First they said their peers are the Big eight and now they're saying they're the Big 10." "I'm very disappointed." she said. "We're going to be corresponding about who our peer institutions should be." Until the Legislature can fully fund the needs of all colleges and universities, the resolution encourages the State Regents "to provide a fair and equitable allocation of funds to the various entities within the state system without bias or favor to any one group of entities."

Director chosen By John Heath Student Writer Central State University has been chosen as the new home of the Donna Nigh Foundation. The foundation, which opened its doors at CSU in July, is a nonprofit organization established to institute and maintain the best programs for the mentally retarded in Oklahoma, said Marca Floyd, the new executive director. An Oklhaoma City native, Floyd graduated from the University of Oklahoma with a bachelor's degree in 1968 and a master's in 1970. She served as executive director of the Oklahoma City Junior League and is currently president of the board of directors for the Infant Center at OU Medical Center. Floyd said she accepted the position because "it tapped into my experience with both the mentally retarded and with fundraisi n g and community involvement." The privately sponsored organization specializes in moving the mentally retarded out of instutions and into smaller group homes , said Floyd.

Tips may aid bookbuyers By Larry Floyd

Student Writer Students can avoid wasted time at the bookstore by finding out in advance which textbooks are required for their classes, according to John Coates, assistant manager of the University Center Bookstore. "Probably the biggest problem students have at the bookstore is not knowing what books they need," Coates said. To avoid this problem, Coates recommended students have their enrollment print-outs with them

Counselors prepared for frazzled freshmen By Linda Welcher Student Writer

The Central State University Counseling Center is ready to help students with adjustment problems associated with the beginning of the school year, said Peggy Foster, coordinator of the Counseling Center and licensed professional counselor. "Students out of high school leaving their support system at home like their family, friends,

and other significant others such as a priest," have a difficult time adjusting to their new surroundings, said Foster. Home sickness is also a problem and usually at about the fourth week of school married students and those who work fulltime realize that they have overextended themselves, Foster said. Moreover, it does not take long for relationship problems to start occuring, she said, old romances

Peggy Foster,coordinator of the Central State University Counseling Center, aids Yancke Effendy, a graduate student, with Discover, a computerized information guidance system.

die and new ones come-up. Also long-distance relationships break up. The Center provides three basic services including counseling for students needing help with career choices, personal life problems or study habits. The center provides the service without charge, said Foster. There are two types of career counseling available at the center. A $10 test packet and Discover, a computerized information guidance system that may be taken free of charge. The test packet includes the Strong-Campbell Interest Inventory, which is the number one career test used on campuses across the nation and the Guilford-Zimmerman Personality Trait Inventory which helps students become more aware of their individual personality traits, she said. "It is very important to take these into consideration when making a career choice. One of the reasons a person is unhappy with his job when he enters the job force is that he doesn't have things in common with his work or co-workers. For instance, people in accounting are considered to be introverted and prefer to work alone. That person would not be suitable for a job that requires work with a lot of people, such as in sales," she said. Foster said there is a fee for the test packet because it is that it is scored by computer that produces a 12-page printout which is explained to the student during a

one-to-one meeting with a counselor who interprets the information. "The testing process with Discover provides a wealth of information for the student," she said. Students enter their interests, prioritize their values, and the computer combines the students personal preferences with characteristics of occupations selected by the student. Discover also suggests occupations compatible with the listed personal interests and needs. The files hold up-to-date information on hundreds of occupations and thousands of educational options. It lists information on universities, specialized training schools and graduate schools, she said. Students may make an appointment for Discover at the counseling center. The CSU Library and the Edmond Branch Library also provide Discover on a walk-in basis, she said. Personal counseling is the second most requested counseling at the center, said Foster. It is a process through which a person may learn to make better decisions, improve personal skills, develop increased confidence and acquire awareness of both his needs and those of others. In addition, counselors work with those who are in need of stress management counseling or crisis counseling which deals with areas such as, suicide, depression, and alcohol. "We are one of the graduate

training sites for the community counseling graduate programs. In addition to the graduate students I also do counseling at the center," she said. "Academics is the third type of counseling we offer. It helps students with study skills and with improvement in test/taking abilities and test anxiety," said Foster. Inquires about any of the services offered may be made in person at the counseling center, located in the Administraion Building Room 210G or by calling extension 2215.

Computers aid chairpersons Computers were installed in the offices of all Central State University chairpersons during the Summer. "The purpose of these cornputers is for looking at students' transcripts and files and for research purposes. Chairpersons will not be able to receive any hard copies but are able to check on students without having to go through different channels," said Dr. Clifton Warren, dean of the Liberal Arts College. Chairpersons are now able to tell if a student has an over due book without having to go to the library to check, or they can look into their file without having to go through administration. The computers are for informational purposes only, Warren said.

Bronchos ready for NCAA challenge by Mark Finley

Sports Editor "Consistency" is the word that best describes the Central State University football team if they are to be successful in 1988, according to head man Gary Howard. "We'll have to be consistent on both sides of the ball this year to win," said Howard, who is entering his 12th year as head coach at CSU. "Playing.: this year in the Lone Star Conference and NCAA Division II as members for the first time it will be a tough challenge, but if we can avoid mistakes and play good defense early we should be able to compete rather strongly." Howard believes that on offense the Bronchos have the talent at the skill positions, but are somewhat hurting on the line. One starter and three back-ups from last year did not come back to school, so a few of the incoming freshmen will be getting closer looks than in years past.

Those players expected to start on the line are returning starters Brian Fayak, a 6-2, 260-pound senior from Altus at tackle; Buck Irwin, a senior out of Valliant who at 6-7 and 293 pounds will have CSU runners trying to run behind and hopefully not seen by the opposing defense. Another starter returning on the line is Scott Key at guard. Key is a 6-2, 251-pound sophomore from Wellston. Taking over at center will be Alan Vanover. Vanover is a two-year letterman from Ponca City. Though only 6-1 and weighing 235 pounds, coaches say they are expecting a lot of the junior. "We are very short on the depth chart in the offensive line," said Howard. "If we can avoid injuries we'll be fine, but if not it could be a tough year." The bright spot, however seems to be at tight end. Seniors Ray Collins and Ronnie Neal will both start in the twin tight end alignment. Collins is a 6-3, 236-pounder out of Clinton and Neal is a 6-0, 236-pounder out of Tulsa McClain. Both were starters a year ago, and according to Coach Howard, are excellent receivers and blockers. "Collins and Neal will be assets to our offense both in blocking and catching the ball," Howard said. "If these guys can stay healthy and are able to produce in the clutch, we could have a good year offensively." Howard thinks that if the line holds up, Broncho fans can expect some excitement from the backfield this year. Not only does sophomore sensation Pinkey Hurley return, but the addition of Glen Braxton to the backfield will be a big help. Braxton, however, will not be available until his summer stint with the Chicago White Sox rookie organization is completed, which ends in a couple of

weeks. Braxton is a former allstater from Idabel and originally sianed with OU back in 1984. Hurley returns after leading the team in rushing a year ago as a freshman. The Fox, OK native will be expected to carry the load until Braxton returns to football condition. Then coaches believe both should be a tandem to be reckoned with against opposing defenses. "We should be solid at the tailback position," said Howard. "Once Braxton aets here and acts in playing_ shape, we should have fresh legs in the backfield at all times and this will be an advantage to us in the latter part of the game." At quarterback, the Bronchos sport two fine prospects in redshirt freshman Ben Morrison of Tulsa and Zane Burgess, a sophomore from Plano,Texas who saw action as a freshman last year. "We have enough talent at quarterback and some experience," said Howard. If the line can do the job and our backs do their job, it should take some heat off our quarterback where he can run the offense the way we want him to." On the other side of the ball on defense, Howard thinks the Bron, chos will be tough, especially at linebacker. CSU returns three

starters, two from last year and one from 1986. The 1986 starter, Marty Irland returns after missing last season due to a freak injury to his arm. After several operations, Irland looks healthy enough to take over one of the inside positions and should provide the leadership needed on defense. Irland is senior from Grapevine, Texas. "We're glad to have Marty back," Howard said. "He's had a tough year following his injury, but he seems to be ready to face the challenge ahead, and we're expecting good things from him." Also returning at linebacker positions are sophomores Mike Bennett of Crescent and Wade Standlev of Okemah. Bennett will return to play one of the inside positions, while Standley will move to the outside to make room for Irland at the other inside slot. "We're not hurting at linebacker," said Howard. "We feel real comfortable there, and this will definitely be our strongest area on the team." The defensive front line will also be a strong point. Anchoring the line will be returning nose tackle Marcus Brent, a 5-10, 250-pound junior from Tulsa. Also returning is three-year starter Dean Shinault at defensive end. Shinault is a senior from Ponca City.

sively, CSU must capitalize on scoring opportunities and must show patience if they are to succeed. Injuries are a big key here especially in the offensive line. If the line can escape this and the backs stay healthy, the Bronchos should improve on their 20 point per-game average of a year ago. "We have to have consistency on offense," said Howard. "The main problem we had last year was the inability to move up the field when we needed to and to push ball into the end zone. But again, we had a lot of underclassmen playing and that will happen with inexperience."

"We have some holes to fill in the line, but we have some experience returning, so by the time the season starts we should be ready," Howard said. The secondary suffered a big loss with the graduation of Neil Galbraith, but Howard thinks the basis of a good secondary is still there with the return of two starters. Robert Gordon, a junior from Ardmore, returns at safety where he tied for the team lead in interceptions a year ago. Wagoner junior Curtis Hill also returns at one of the cornerback positions. "Losing Neil will hurt, but we feel confident with the people we have and barring injuries we should hold our own against the pass," said Howard. According to Howard, for the Bronchos to better their 2-8 record of a year ago they will have to improve on their 327 yards per game average they gave up on defense last year. "We gave up too many yards last year," Howard said. "If we expect to win, the defense must improve, and we feel we are much better this year than last. We started a lot of underclassmen last year, so we feel we have enough experience on defense to eliminate those mistakes that are made by your younger players." Howard says he believes offen-

Overall,coaches say the Bronchos should be much improved. And considering this is their first year to compete in the Lone Star Conference as members it's a good thing. "Year in and year out this conference is one of the toughest whether it's division I or II," said Howard. CSU may not win the conference their first year(and are not expected to), but Howard does believe the Bronchos definitely are on the way up and should not be taken lightly. According to Howard, "if we can stay away from the injuries, play consistent ball-control offense and not give up the big play on defense we will definitely be better in '88."
