Fifteen file for Student Senate posts By Curtis Killman Associate Editor

dent and vice president, Nsiegbe said.

The Student Association (SA) filing period for 1985-86 offices closed 5 p.m. Monday with only 15 of 22 senate seats petitioned.

John Buttry, who was defeated last semester by SA President Ed Howell, has filed again for the president's office and will face Debbie McClaren, Student Senate historian. The Vice President's position will pit Mark Kinzie, B.S. Uwalaka and Spencer Weyerman against each other. Kinzie and Uwalaka are current student senators. Weyerman is a

Since all the positions are uncontested, there will not be an election to decide senate seats, according to Iyke Nsiegbe-Osuji, SA vice president. An election will be conducted April 17, to decide the SA presi-

former student senator, Nsiegbe said. Student senator Joe Guthrie was the only applicant for the office of Ombudsman. The senate seats were apportioned according to the percentage of students in their respective colleges, Nsiegbe said. A total of 22 seats were available, according to Nsiegbe, but only 15 seats were petitioned, leaving seven positions to be filled by appointment by the SA presi-

dent next year. The College of Liberal Arts, with five seats available, was petitioned by Scott Birdwell, Linda E. Foglesong, Sue Y. Gnagy, Jessica Grassmann and Mary Hawkins. The College of Business, with five seats available, was petitioned by Junaid T. Bashir, Desiree Lavicky, Patty McLean, and Virginia Nichols. The College of Education, with five seats available, was petitioned by Gaye Claiborne, Carla E. Krauss and Carl Ray.

The College of Math and Science, with four seats available, was petitioned by Desmond Fernandes and Mary K. McLean. The College of Special Arts and Sciences, with three seats available, was petitioned by Cynthia Griffin. This is the second consecutive semester that the elections for student senators have been scratched due to a lack of applicants for the offices, said Joe McCourry, student senate speaker.

Faculty Senate passes proposal to move up last day to drop class 3

By Curtis Killman Associate Editor If you are one of the students prone to wait till the last few days of a semester before dropping a class, pay attention, that habit may need to change. The Faculty Senate passed a resolution Thursday to move the drop deadline up to the Friday of the tenth week of semester. Students currently can wait till the last class day to drop a class. The resolution, authored by the Academic Affairs Committee, passed by a 19-3 vote after faculty members and one student debated the proposal briefly. Dr. Jean Caldwell, assistant professor of economics, speaking against the proposal asked "what is the rationale" behind the resolution? Dr. James Tarr, assistant professor of business law, said the proposal was backed by 73 percent of 216 faculty members polled on the subject of moving the drop date up. "Some of the reasons the faculty members gave," said Tarr, "was — one — that the student make a more complete commitment at the beginning of the semester." Another reason for the change, according to Tarr, was to protect students in group activities and class projects, such as Chemistry labs from losing a partner late in the semester. Dr. Lewis Irving, professor of sociology, spoke against the proposal: "I feel like periodically throughout the semester the students will drop in, drop out of class for various reasons. I think we ought to give them every opportunity to go as long as they possibly can. "It's not going to impact me whether they do or do not show up. It's going to impact them and their learning skills. But, some students have the capability of catching up and providing external data to themselves to increase their knowledge in the area. I don't see a reason to move that (the drop date) forward." Dr. Terrill Smith, professor of chemistry and member of the Academic Affairs Committee, agreed with Tarr. Smith said, that he has had students come in and use laboratory time, chemicals and "generally spend the taxpayer's money and then at the end (of the semester) drop out." Smith said, the results of the questionnaire indicated the faculty wanted an increase in responsibility on the part of the students, and for the students "to get their act together by second week after mid-term." Student Senator Scott Birdwell, expressed concern that some

Liberal arts committee calls for enhanced writing skills By Melissa Mercer Editor A resolution to promote the implementation of

significant writing projects in 3000 and 4000 level courses was adopted Feb. 28, by the executive committee of the college of Liberal Arts. The aim of the resolution is to improve writing skills among undergraduate students in the college of Liberal Arts. "The English department is not solely responsible for imparting writing skills in students. That responsiblity resides with all of us on the faculty," said Dr. Frank Wert, dean of the college of Liberal Arts. The resolution requests "each individual faculty member within the College to carefully, and in good faith, examine the writing assignments in his/her courses to insure that each course contributes significantly toward enhancing the writing skills of students..." and "that in grading writing assignments, faculty shall evaluate mechanics, spelling and style of expression in addition to content." Wert indicated that the resolution is a timely measure in light of recent national reports such as the National Institute of Education report, the Association of American Colleges report and the reports recently released by Education Secretary William Bennett.

"Poor writing is really a symptom, not necessarily the problem." Wert said. "Behind the ability of an individual to write well and express himself well, is the ability to reason. And behind the ability to reason critically lies the ability to read and understand critically the material that is being assigned to them. And to be able to read and understand in a critical fashion the material that is being assigned, the student has to have other skills associated with that. For example skills in listening and skills in the use of bibliographic material." Wert said that inadequate writing skills in college graduates is the primary criticism of undergraduate curricula nationally as well as locally, and that this is the partial result of a decline over past decades in the expectations of undergraduate curricula. "We went through a tremendous period of growth

in higher education. During that period we were

strained to the gills just to accomodate students and we ended up with larger and larger classes; and as we do that we lose more and more to objective testing and to objective criteria and (devote) less and less to the subjective perspective which writing clearly is," Wert said. Faculty are presently reviewing course assignments. Wert said he expects increased writing assignments by fall semester, 1985.

Reader says U.S. aid to Ethiopia has catch To the editor:

In the article published in The Vista April 2, page 2, in which our associate editor Mark Beutler wrote: "Americans neglect own problems," is amazing to political science students. America as a developed country uses her good intentions to help the less fortunate or the so called Third World throughout the world — a mark of excellence. On the other hand, our associate editor should bear in mind that America does not give out aid to any country without a string tied to it. Egypt is an example — Middle East ally on peace policy. America,

therefore, gives her aid based on political patronage. It should be recalled that Ethiopia was once a Soviet ally, but due to the fact that the U.S. needed that portion of Africa for her stability in East Africa, she decided to aid Ethiopia. Let it be known that the Ethiopian problem is not man made, rather a natural disaster which can affect any country of the world no matter how rich or poor. Bede Anyanwu

The Public Service Company of Oklahoma (PSO), which is the major supplier of electricity in the Tulsa area, and the Oklahoma Gas and Electric Company (OG&E), which is a major electrical supplier for the rest of the state, have both filed requests for rate increases with the Corporation Commission. PSO is seeking a rate increase of $37.5 million. OG&E is seeking an increase of over $127.7 million. Maybe the utility companies need the money to pay the phone bill, as Southwestern Bell has also indicated it will be filing for a rate increase sometime in the near future. Customers of PSO, OG&E and Southwestern Bell might as well plan on higher bills because the Oklahoma Corporation Commission has proven to be a rubber stamp for the utility companies. Since 1980, OG&E has been granted a sum total of $172.8 million in rate increases. Southwestern Bell has received rate increases totaling of over $253 million for the same period. PSO has received over $64 million. The Oklahoma Corporation Com-

mission says that public utilities are "entitled to earn a reasonable rate of return." But what is reasonable? PSO's net earnings for 1984 were $60.6 million. The company's net earnings on common stock were $55.6 million. Those two figures combined represent 16 percent of PSO's total operation budget. OG&E's net earnings for 1984 were over $113.2 million. The OG&E shareholders earned over $101.3 million. The company's earnings represent 21 percent of its operating budget. Southwestern Bell listed profits of $883 million in 1984. Earnings of common stock for the same year were unavailable, but Ma Bell's net earnings alone represented 12 percent of its operating budget. It appears PSO, OG&E and Southwestern Bell are receiving a "reasonable rate of return," especially when they are compared to Oneok, Oklahoma's third major utility company. Oklahoma Natural Gas comprises 86 percent of Oneok and the company had net earnings of over $48 million and earnings of common stock of over $43 million in 1984. Oneok's earnings represented only 8 percent of its operating budget and they have not asked for a rate increase this year. PSO, OG&E and Southwestern Bell do not deserve a rate increase this year.

Student called 'communist' To the editor: Recently at my job, Sound Warehouse, I was called a communist by one of the older employees for making a joke about the "We are the World" album. It seems that people everywhere are willing to step forward and champion this noble cause. Anyone who doesn't support the single (or the album, or the T-shirt, or the buttons, or the posters) is going against the cause, and is therefore a scoundrel. This country seems to be anxious to lend a helping hand, as long as it is "in fashion."

Anyone not "in fashion" is simply unacceptable. I find the "We are the World" album to be rather unexciting. In fact, it is bland. The impression I get is that the artists (with a few exceptions) contributed songs that wouldn't have been used on their own albums, but were just fine for an album that's guaranteed platinum. My point is this: I do NOT like being called a communist for not buying something that is bad, even if it is for a good cause. Furthermore, I will NOT buy a piece of mediocrity that is push-

Soviet defector enjoyed To the editor: On behalf of the students at Central State University, I would like to personally congratulate the Administration and the faculty of the Political Science department, for bringing Sergei Zamascikov to our university. not everyday we get the opportunity to speak to a defector, let alone a defector from the Soviet Union. The students who participated at the colloquium found Comrade Zamascikov extremely intelligent, objective and enlightening. His personal story really makes you think how lucky

we are to be living in a free country.

I would like to personally congratulate the Chairman of the Political Science Department Leroy Crozier and the Director of the Bureau of Governmental Services Dr. James Caster for their endless work in making this colloquium like no other. I hope in the future they continue to bring scholars and statesman which reflect professionalism to our department and our university. Ricky L. Brohmer

ed onto me in the name of "humanity." There are much nicer ways to help impoverished countries, such as the Red Cross or the Catholic Women's Fund. I suppose I'll continue to be called a communist, even though I'm an American who believes in the freedom of choice. Maybe "We are the World" includes communists too ? David A. Gray

Mormons send aid to Ethiopa The Mormon Church announced Sunday that a special day of fasting by its members raised more than $6 million in donations to relieve famine in Ethiopia and other African nations. Elder Gordon B. Hinckley of the church's First Presidency or governing body, said $4.3 million already has been distributed through international relief agencies including the American Red Cross, the Catholic Relief Services, Africare and CARE Inc.

John Paul II denounces hatred Pope John Paul II, in his Easter Sunday message, decried the human rights violations, wars and "ideologies that instill hated" plaguing the world 40 years after the end of World War II. More than 200,000 people jammed St. Peter's Square for the Mass and address, while tens of thousands more marched through Rome in a protest against hunger. Millions more followed in ceremonies on live television in 35 countries.

Profs denied text royalties To avoid a conflict of interest, a new policy instituted by Memphis State University President Dr. Thomas Carpenter compels MSU faculty and staff to give up royalties from books they write and require MSU students to buy. These royalties must now be donated to the Faculty and Staff Scholarship Fund. But faculty members may keep all royalties made on sales of their books to students at other universities, said Dr. Jerry N. Boone, vice president for academic affairs. The new policy also adds a new step to procedures also adds a new step to procedures for choosing required textbooks written by faculty-written textbook must be approved by the chairman of the department, and the dean of the college. Under the new policy, the book must also be approved by Boone. But many faculty members are concerned about who evaluates textbooks, said Dr. John P. Beifuss, professor of English and chairman of the Acdemic Senate's Faculty Policies Committee. "The proper system of evaluation is rooted with the professionals in the discipline," Beifuss said.

Minority report calls for changes The Presidential Task Force on Racial/Ethnic Concerns report, released recently, calls for broad changes and development of Davidson College's policy toward minorities. The report proposes a policy statement for the college to pursue, discusses current strategies and policies here and explores successful policies of schools similar to Davidson. Report: Davidson's 52 black students make up 3.78 percent of the student population; 37 are male and 15 are female. "Twenty-eight of the black males have participated in one or more intercollegiate sports and were recruited through effots of the athletic department," the report states. "Black students who attempt to socialized with other races are sometimes pressured by blacks who fear losing a member of an already small group," the report states. "This problem is often seen by white members of the community as an ambivalence between inclusion in the mainstream of Davidson life and exclusion in the security of predominantly black settings." Increasing awareness of blacks here would involve hiring more black professors and administrators and broadening academic and other programs focusing on the black experience. Black alumni, the report states, "express regret, anger and frustration over the social strains they experienced while in college," which include a lack of social life for blacks, white student attitudes, and the small number of black students at Davidson. The report points to several efforts to address black alumni concerns, among them: holding more black alumni reunions (the first was held last spring) and involving black alumni in recruiting black students.

guarantee that the professor will have some sort of evaluation of the students before that (the tenth week), so the student has something to base his decision on whether to stay in class or not," Birdwell added. "It might be nice to have that withdrawal at the tenth week, but I wonder if the costs don't outweigh it," Caldwell said. "It seems to me we have a flexibility here," Caldwell continued, "that many other schools don't have, and I think we need." The proposal now goes to Central State President Bill Lillard for consideration. If the proposal were to become school policy the only way a student could withdraw from a class after the tenth week, according to Faculty Senate President Dr. George Avellano, would be by withdrawing from the university. Fee charged for "X" grade In other matters, the Faculty Senate passed a proposal authored by the Academic Affairs Committee that recommends a fee be accessed for each "X" grade a student receives. Expansion of library hours The Faculty Senate also passed a measure, by a 21-1 vote, to increase the hours of operation at the Max Chambers Library. The proposal would expand the library hours to an 11 p.m. closing time, seven days a week. The Max Chambers Library currently closes at 5 p.m. Fridays, 7 p.m. Saturdays, and 11 p.m. the remainder of the week.

Two faculty claim deficiency in undergraduate curricula "Trivia" is now one of the most popular games, and it might be college students who need to play that game most seriously. Education Secretary, William J. Bennett, a former philosophy professor and former chairman of the National endowment of the Humanities says in his series of three reports since November that many American college graduates lack "even the most rudimentary knowledge" of history, literature, art and philosophy. Bennett also blames college faculties and administrators for failing to teach humanities to the students. Two faculty members, Dr. Albert Lynd, an assistant vice president for academic affairs, and Dr. Frank Wert, the dean of the college of Liberal Arts, agreed partly with Bennett's criticism, but denied that CSU undergraduate students are deficient in basic knowledge. "I think Mr. Bennett's observation is certainly correct but it is not a recent phenomenon. It is something colleges and universities all over the country have been concerned with for quite some time," Lynd said. While denying the deficiency in basic knowledge of CSU students, Wert pointed out the deficiency in undergraduate curriculums at CSU. Wert said I don't think that undergraduate students lack basic knowledge, but I do believe that our curriculum is not aimed to fully integrate knowledge to the degree needed to be integrated and qualified," Wert said. Our history majors think too much about our history, Wert explained, and perhaps not enough about the rest of culture and how culture relates to the history,"

Wert explained. "I think that English majors perhaps think too much about literature without integrating how the implications of literature reflect on culture." Wert said principles on undergraduate education should relate to insuring that the students graduating from CSU are wellrounded students, and welleducated students who have communication skills. Bennett cited these statistics in one of three reports which criticze undergraduate education: The number of majors in English has dropped by 57 percent since 1970; in philosophy by 41 percent, in history by 62 percent and in modern languages by 50 percent. A third of all colleges required some forein language study for

admission in 1966, but only 14 percent in 1983; and less than half now require foreign language study during college, down from nearly 90 percent in 1966. CSU is not an exception of these colleges and universities where the enrollments in the humanities have dropped. Both Lynn and Wert attribute the drop in enrollment to the national trend since World War II that has oriented toward vocational types of curriculums in higher education rather than the humanities. "That's the national trend. It's unfortunate. Our society will pay for that in the future because we have become very short-sighted in preparing our youth in terms of their educational experiences," Wert said.

CSU is also an institution where there are no foreign language requirements. Is studying a foreign language necessary to students? Two faculty members say "absolutely." "I think a language requirement would be beneficial to all students," Lynn said. Wert also said, "I think studying foreign languages is critical to a well-rounded education. Unfortunately it became popular, 10 or 15 years ago, to remove the foreign language requirement in general education. "We need, in my opinion, to move in the other direction. We need to seriously consider requiring all students to study foreign language.

Oklahoma State University adopted the new English and mathematics proficiency test required for all junior-year students. Lynn said introducing proficiency tests is something that has been discussed. "I would prefer to have us test entering freshmen and place them in classes which are most appropriate to their ability rather than to test the juniors who are just about to finish their fouryears," Lynn said. Wert does not favor a proficiency test. He said, "I'm not certain that is time spent wisely for students to prepare to pass proficiency exams at a certain point in their undergraduate work."

Dorm policy unfair?

Residents required to re-locate during break By Goji Isobe Residents in Thatcher and Murdaugh Hall have to stay out of those dormitories during vacations if they want to remain there after the vacations. The Residence Hall Handbook says, "permission to remain in residence halls during vacations must be obtained from the housing office prior to the beginning of the vacation." This policy, however, is not applied to the residents in both Thatcher and MurA daugh Hall. East and West Hall are the only dorms offered during vacation, including spring break. Residents in Thatcher and Murdaugh Hall who want to remain on campus during vacations have to move into East or West Hall, but they are not allowed to move back into their former dorms after vacations, they remain in East or West Hall. Many residents in Thatcher Hall know the rule, but some of them complain of it. "It's unfair. Why do we have to move, not residents in East Hall," said a freshman resident from Oklahoma City, who requested his name be withheld in print. Robert Fields, director of auxiliary enterprises (housing office), said, "economics is

one of the big things. We shut down Thatcher Hall and Murdaugh Hall because we can accomodate all entering students easily in one dorm. That way you don't have staffing problems of having all four dorms open." Although many residents in both dorms know they have to move to East or West Hall during vacations, many of them are unaware they will not be able to move back into their former dorms, once they move to East or West Hall. "It'll be kind of foolish for us to move them to East Hall or West for a week (for spring break) and to move them back (to Thatcher or Murdaugh Hall) and then at the end of the semester to move them back to East or West Hall. Let's move them one time and get them settled. Why move them back and forth?" Fields said. A sophomore resident in Thatcher Hall, name withheld by request, said "East Hall is dirty and noisy. I like this hall. My life is here and I'll have to break it if I have to move to East Hall." The student said he had wanted to stay four days during spring break but gave it up because of the dorm policy. Another resident of Thatcher Hall, who also remains

nameless, transfered from Northwestern Oklahoma State University (NOSU), said "It is unfair. It (Thatcher Hall) is a kind of home." The student also said that NOSU takes the same dorm policy that CSU does, but it allows residents to move back to the former dorms after vacations. According to Fields, Oklahoma State University takes exactly the same dorm policy during vacations that CSU does. The policy that residents in Thatcher and Murdaugh Hall are not allowed to stay in their dorms during vacations, and that those who want to remain on campus during vacations have to stay in East or West Hall, is not spelled out in the Residence Hall Handbook. Another Thatcher Hall resident made a complaint in the "Opinion Page" in the March 12 issue of The Vista saying, "my wish is that notification of this law could be contained in the handbook, or permission to stay in Thatcher Hall could be obtained." Fields explained the absence of the provision in the Residence Hall Handbook for Thatcher and Murdaugh residents, saying, "We have to see how many people are go-

ing to need this vacation housing. We might decide next year that we want Thatcher to be the one to handle the vacation housing people. "We make that determination kind of late—long after the contract is printed and after we begin to see what our needs are. "I think we treat our students fairly good. I can name you another school that won't let anyone stay. They just shut their dorms—period," Fields said. According to Fields, a total of 75-80 residents wanted to stay on campus during spring break, while 1,127 students live in four dorms-146 in Thatcher and 262 in Murdaugh. The residential fee for one year with two meals is $1,464 in Thatcher and Murdaugh Hall and $1,640 in East and West Hall. The fees differ because of a difference in air conditioning systems. For residents who have jobs around the campus, and for some international students who don't have any place to go during vacations, East or West Hall is the only dorm in which to stay. For residents in Thatcher and Murdaugh, the only way to keep a dorm room is to leave during vacation periods.

Lady Bronchos dump Cameron, St. Mary's

Vista photos by Curtis Ayers

Central State University's Mary Martin takes a cut during the Lady Bronchos' doubleheader

sweep of Cameron Thursday.

Central State University's nationally ranked softball team ran its record to 18-9 last week as the Lady Bronchos swept a pair of games from Cameron University Thursday and routed St. Mary's of Minnesota on Wednesday. The Lady Bronchos, ranked third in last week's NAIA poll, destroyed St. Mary's 12-0 in five innings Wednesday as CSU pitching standout Gladys Griffin fired a one-hitter and allowed only two runners to reach base.

On Thursday, Griffin and teammate Johna Cook each hurled a two-hitter as the Lady Bronchos dumped Cameron, 5-0 and 14-1. Griffin struck out 11 in the first game to raise her record to 14-4 on the season. CSU scored five runs in the first two inning of the first game then relied on Griffin's arm to stifle the visitors. Leading batters for CSU were Paige Peterson, one-for-one, including a triple; Dee Gerlach, one-for-two including a double; Griffin, one-for-two; Lisha Brown, one-for-three; and Barbara McEntire, one-for-one. In the second contest, the Lady Bronchos erupted with the bats as they scored four in the first, three in the second, five in the third and two more in the fourth. Mary Martin led the CSU hitters with a three-of-four performance. "Both pitchers did a good job and our hitting started improving," said CSU softball coach Gerry Pinkston. "We hope to start gaining momentum now. We want to 24-9 going into the UTA (University of Texas-Arlington) tournament in two weeks." CSU visits Cameron today and Oklahoma Baptist University on Thursday.

Bronchos crush Cameron to push win streak to 12

Vista photos by Curtis Ayers

Central State University pitcher Doug Denard delivers a pitch during the Bronchos' game with Cameron Saturday. CSU won both games of the twinbill, 15-5 and 10-0.

After struggling a bit to reach a 6-6 mark after the first 12 games, Central State University's baseball team has won 12 consecutive contests and appears headed for a fourth-straight District 9 playoff berth. The Bronchos, 18-6 and 17-5 in NAIA play before Monday's games with Phillips, crushed Cameron on Saturday 15-5 and 10-0. CSU's Doug Denard fired a four-hitter in the opener and Scott Ballard hurled a two-hit shutout in the nightcap. In Saturday's opener, Denard struck out four and scattered four hits to pick up his third win of the season against no defeats. David King belted his seventh homer in the season in the first game and Blake Gibson and Danny Beaver had three runs batted in each for CSU. The Bronchos' Keith Miskovsky went three-for-three and Butch Wall knocked in a pair of runs in leading CSU in the rout. CSU ripped Cameron early in

the second game as the Bronchos scored three times in the first, plated three more in the second, and scored four in the fourth to end the game on the 10-run rule. Scott Jacks blasted a three-run homer in the fourth inning, his fifth of the season. The Bronchos host Oklahoma Baptist University Monday in a doubleheader beginning at 2 p.m. It will be the last home game for CSU this season. CSU NOTES: Before Saturday's contests with Cameron, the Bronchos were hitting .364 as a team as opposed to their opponents .245 mark. Butch Wall leads the team with a .439 average. Third baseman David King isn't far behind with a .418 mark. King also leads the team in runs batted in with 25. None of the regulars on the team are hitting less than .313 and all of the starters and two reserves have hit at least one home run... The Bronchos have hit 38 homers with catcher-designated Jerry

Holley and King leading the club with seven each. The Bronchos have also swiped 72 bases in 83 attempts this season with Blake Gibson leading the team with 15 steals in 15 attempts. Junior Danny Beaver is right behind with 13 swipes... Both team marks for home runs and stolen bases are right on line to shatter school records. The school record for stolen bases by a CSU team is 78 set in 1983... At the current rate CSU will hit 66 home runs this season. The record is 44 set last season. Steve Figaro has been the ace of the CSU pitching staff so far this season as he has compiled a 3-1 record with a 3.38 earned run average. Figaro also leads the team in strikeouts with 38. CSU's Scott Rooks is 3-1 on the season with a 3.60 ERA with 24 strikeouts. Senior Brett Hauser is the Bronchos' stopper out of the bullpen. Hauser has appeared in 10 games, collecting three saves and winning four of six decisions.
