Central State University, Edmond, Oklahoma
64 Chinese to study here for 1 year The arrival of 64 teachers and business leaders from the People's Republic of China for a one-year study program at Central State University in Edmond could prove to be a significant step in Oklahoma's commercial and industrial development in China, university observors believe. The Chinese will be enrolled at CSU though not pursuing degrees in the traditional sense, explained Dr. Bill Lillard, CSU President. The delegation arrived at Will Rogers World Airport at 10:30 p.m. Friday. They will be housed in the Edmond campus' residence halls and be enrolled as students. Their interests, however, are
four-pronged. A fourth of the contingency are translators interested in gaining greater proficiency in the English language. A fourth of the group is interested in application of computers in business settings while the last group is interested in computer science applications, particularly with emphasis in math and engineering. They will enroll in 12 credit hours each of the two semesters they remain at Central State University, explained Dr. Joe Kinzer, college of business ad, ministration dean. He was instrumental in bringing the group to the Oklahoma campus. "This whole program is an op-
portunity that resulted from one member being on our campus a year ago and having a successful and enjoyable experience in a program conducted by Dr. Kinzer," explained Lillard. Negotiations for the year-long program began when Dr. Donaldson Woods, an American living in mainland China and an educator there, contacted Kinzer to fulfill a grant he received from the government of China. The grant, the first ever approved by China, provides for a ChinaAmerican Friendship Program that is desined to give China industry and business leadership insight into the American business model.
"Traditionally, China has looked to the Soviet Union as a role model for its educational industrial and business systems," explained Kinzer. "That is changing as China seeks to emulate or investigate the American model. "Dr. Woods has been involved with China through his missionary parents for many years and saw the opportunity to acquaint business leaders from his parents' province with America through Central State University," the college dean added. "Recruitment of these people to our campus was done at no cost to the University," explained Lillard. "We have, had excellent rapport with individuals and
leaders from China, though most of our Chinese students are from the Republic of China off the mainland. There are six students now enrolled from the People's Republic," he added. The group that arrived this week is from the northeast part of mainland China. The one-year program is expected to give the officials there an opportunity to determine whether such a program should be continued for future years. "This could be a significant new program that brings Central State University into the forfront of Oklahoma's relatively new effort to establish trade in that part of the world," Lillard concluded.

CSU students sponsor Third or child By Curtis Killman Thanks to the donations of Central State students, faculty and staff and the Student Senate, life will be made a little easier for a seven-year-old girl living in Columbia, according to Scott Birdwell, Student Senate Speaker of the House. The results of the fund drive for
needy children that was launched last spring was announced by Birdwell Monday at the Student Senate meeting. Birdwell said the $192 dollars sent to the "Save the Children" charity was enough to sponsor one child for a year. "I'm just happy that it is actually working," said Birdwell in z

an interview Monday. He said he hoped the fund drive would help increase the campus' international outlook. According to a case history of the child sent to the campus, the Colombian girl, Nubia Marcela Rivera, lives in the community of Choachi-Ferralarada. The community, near the town of Ubaque is "several hour's drive through the mountains" and east of Bogota, the country's capital. Nubia Marcela, is studying in the first grade at a school one kilometer away from her school. Arithmetic and drawing are her favorite subjects. The case history also says that "they live in a modest house made of brick and cement, with a tile roof; it has three bedrooms, a kitchen, sanitation facilities and utilities." Her father is a farmer. Birdwell said he looked at several reputable charities, but he decided on "Save the Children"
because of their low administrative costs (81 percent of the funds collected go to program services), their 53 years of experience as a charity organization and their non-partisanship. The Student Senate did not specify a particular area that they wanted to need to go to — only that it go to the area with the highest need. Birdwell said he is happy to see the money go to Columbia. "At least the money is going to someplace where there's potential," said Birdwell. But, he said that the same efforts will have to be matched again next Spring if they want to continue to sponsor the child. One of the benefits of "Save the Children", Birdwell said, was that they allow the sponsor to communicate with the child. Birdwell said that anyone wanting to send correspondence to Nubia Marcela could contact him at the
Student Senate office located on the fourth floor of the University
Center.

Reader says AIDS stirs up more hatred To the editor: Americans were shocked to learn that Rock Hudson, the epitome of the "macho male" movie star, had fallen victim to acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). Hudson's case turned attention to the plight of homosexuals suffering from AIDS once again. Members of the gay community at one time hoped that the AIDS issue would prove to be the turning point in widespread hatred of and discrimination against homosexuals. Because of the disease, some hoped, Americans would finally rid themselves of superstitious boogeymen feelings about gays. However, the hopes of homosexuals that AIDS would turn a sympathetic eye toward them were dashed at the outset. Homophobia is rampant. Instead of

turning public sympathy towards the homosexual community, AIDS has made it now all but impossible to respectibly come out of the closet. It has become the ultimate propaganda weapon of moral majoritarians, who insist the disease has been foisted upon "horrible Sodomites." (Of course, these same people ignore the Haitians, persons suffering from hemophilia and other groups are just as vulnerable to AIDS as homosexuals. Also, these same folks can't explain why God is pouring out His wrath on seemingly only MALE homosexuals. Lesbians are largely unaffected.) Eddie Murphy, perhaps the decade's most popular comedian, even deemed it necessary to formulate an entire "comedy" (I use that term lightly) routine about AIDS. Murphy engages
in some of the most disgusting and discriminatory gay-bashing ever done, as well as distort the truth about the disease and feed total misinformation to the public. For example, in Murphy's routine, he talks about his fears of contracting AIDS from heterosexual women who kiss or even, in his words "hang around with" homosexual men. AIDS is not a disease which can be transmitted by non-sexual contact. However, it is a widespread misconception that it is such a disease — and Eddie Murphy continued that lie when he told that joke to hundreds of thousands of Americans, who proceeded to heartily laugh instead of feel sympathy toward numerous homosexuals who lie dying in the hospital beds, no cure in sight to help them.
, No more rhetoric please To the editor: While reacting to one of President Reagan's weekly radio addresses Saturday, U.S. Senator Alan Cranston, DCalifornia, blasted the Reagan Administration policy of "constructive engagement," arguing that it is "neither constructive nor engaging." According to the Senator, President Reagan's quiet diplomacy on apartheid is a euphemism for failure and should in that light be reconsidered. Under the apartheid system, a lot of atrocities have been perpetuated against the blacks who make up the 80 percent of the population. Most noteworthy in recent times is the six/ week old state of emergency regulation. The provisions under the state of emergency have made it possible to arrest more than 2,000 people without access to lawyers or family. Besides making South African blacks strangers in their own land, it has gone a long way to unleash acrimonious criticisms against the apartheid framework. It is against this background that many, including Congress, are calling for a total U.S. economic sanction against the ironfisted Botha regime.
Earlier, the U.S. House of Representatives voted in favor of economic sanctions against South Africa. It is, however, expected that when the Senate reconvenes on Sept. 9, it will adopt the same measure to economically ostracize South Africa. While it is being rumored that President Reagan will veto in part such a bill, the chairman of Senate Foriegn Relations, Sen. Richard Luggar predicted that Congress has sufficient votes to override the President's veto. The Rev. Jerry Falwell is in Virginia gathering support to forestall any economic sanctions against South Africa. After embarassing his supporters by calling Bishop Desmond Tutu "a phony," he is not yet convinced that apatheid is morally unhygenic. Economic sanction, although hurting blacks the most, would have a great impact in putting pressure on Pretoria. To eliminate apartheid, Western nations should unite and denounce Pretoria through economic sanctions. Only when these suggestions and others not mentioned are executed will there be peace on the sub-continent. Gabby M.C. Ibe
The Rock Hudson incident has not only broght about a new wave of antigay jokes and commentary, but has even prompted some Hollywood starlets to want to end their on-screen kissing with behind-the-scenes homosexuals. Again, their personal prejudices and ignorance are paramount. It is truly unfortunate that AIDS has destroyed any hopes of homosexuals being regarded in a fair and equitable manner in our society. The news media all but refused to publicize AIDS as anything but the dreaded "gay" disease — when other groups are also high risk. Public sympathy has been turned into vitriolic hatred, allowing much untruth and nonsense to exist. Even more saddening is that now homosexuals are basically forced to go or stay deep underground. Many fear they will lose all credibility if they step forward and say, "I am a homosexual." It appears that homosexuals have lost their fight for respect for a long time. Much of this stems from the widely publicized disease AIDS. Instead of helping the gay community, it has hurt them. Indeed, in this case, "no news is good news." Thomas D. Schwartz

NEWS S. African suspends trading The South African Government suspended trading Tuesday evening on the country's stock and currency markets as the South African currency plunged to its lowest level ever. The suspension is in effect until Monday. The move follows months of growing social turbulence there, experts said, and rising doubts among foreign investors about the wisdom of maintaining their investment in South Africa.
Nigerian leadership ousted Army officers were reported to have overthrown NIgeria's 20-month-old military Government Tuesday, accusing it of abusing power and failing to revive the economy. All communications with Nigeria were cut, and there was no information on the fate of the Government leader, Maj. Gen. Mohammed Buhari. The new military leaders were quoted as saying that Maj. Gen. Ibrahim Babangida, the army chief of staff, would assume the presidency and leadership of the armed forces. Gereral Babangida was a leader of the coup that unseated the elected civilian Government on Dec. 31, 1983, and installed General Buhari. The ouster of General Buhari was Nigeria's sixth coup since it gained independence from Britain in 1960.
Shuttle crew deploys 2 satellites Discovery's astronauts were launched Tuesday through the worst weather of the space shuttle program, then had to rush the release of an Australian satellite to keep it from broiling in the sun. The astronauts also deployed a second satellite, the first such doubleheader in the shuttle program, and Mission Control praised them for setting "a new world's record."
Randle calls for Senate study Only nine states have more state and local employees per capita than Oklahoma, Senate President Pro Tem Rodger Randle charged Tuesday. Randle said he is heading a special Senate committee inquiry into the reasons for the apparently high percentage of public employees in Oklahoma. Randle said preliminary research shows: —Only nine other states have a higher percentage of state and local employees for their population. —Of every 100 Oklahomans, 1.86 work for the state. Only nine states rank ahead of Oklahoma in that category, also. —Oklahoma is only one of six states in which the number of public employees at the state and locl level grew between 1978 and 1983. —Oklahoma's 5.15 state and local employees per 100 population compares with a low of 3.83 in Pennsylvania and a high of 8.14 in Alaska. The average for all states is 4.65.
Salvadorans arrest 3 guerrillas President Jose Napoleon Duarte said Tuesday that the Salvadoran government had arrested three leftist guerrillas suspected of having taken part in a cafe massacre in which four United States Marines were killed. A fourth guerrilla suspected of having taken part in the massacre is dead, the President said. At a news conference, President Duarte read a letter he sent to President Reagan advising him of the arrests. He said other guerrillas who took part in the killings of 13 people at two sidewalk cafes in San Salvador June 19 have been identified and are being sought.
Bennett returns to the classroom Education Secretary William J. Bennett took over a seventh-grade social studies class today and led the students in a discussion of the Declaration of Independence. Bennett said his appearance at the Catto Middle Magnet School here was his way of paying tribute to teachers at the beginning of the new school year.
Computer science adds new course A new computer programming class has been added to the 1985 fall Central State University schedule announced Dr. Paul Fitzer, chairman of the CSU department of computer science. The class, "Programming I in C" is scheduled to be held at 5:50 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
"We have had lots of calls requesting a course in 'C' and just recently added it to the fall schedule," Fitzer said. The CSU computer science department is one of the fastest growing departments at the university, due largely to the number of cornmuter students interested in computer science, said Fitzer.
Nursing chairperson appointed to board Dr. Barbara Henthorn, chairperson of the Central State University Department of Nursing, was recently appointed to a five-year term on the Oklahoma Board of Nurse Registration and Nursing Education. The board is composed of five registered nurses and three licensed practical nurses. It is charged with the licensing of educational func-
tions for professionl and practical nursing. Various functions carried out by the board include approving schools of professional and practical nursing, issuing licenses to practice professional and practical nursing and taking disciplinary actions against licensees who have been charged with violations of the Oklahoma Nursing Practice Act.

Commuter parking woes? Opinions vary By Tim Ray About 90 percent of Central State University's 13,000-plus students commute to school. That would seem to create a major parking problem each day. Some say there isn't a parking problem at all, while of those who say there is, nearly each of them has a separate solution. To combat the "problem," CSU spent $337,896 this summer to pave several lots on campus, and several changes have been made in the overall parking scheme to allow students easier access to buildings. Yet some students say that still isn't enough. Commuter student Rie Gerah said she thinks that there is too much faculty parking, and said she felt a commuter school should cater more to the commuters. "My dad said if there's room to park in the faculty lot at 8:45 in the morning, then there's too much staff parking. And we pay their salary. They should have to park wherever we have to park. After all, it's a commuter school," she said. Dan Hoke, junior, Oklahoma City, expressed similar sentiments: "I haven't seen a day out here when the staff lot was filled with just staff cars," he said. "I've been late quite a few times because I had to park way out in C-3, and I get counted off for being late. I don't think they're trying to improve the situation. I think they're trying to perpetuate it because it brings in income." CSU Security Chief Bobby Roberts said he didn't think there would be as many tickets handed out if students would just get to school earlier and allow time to get to class. "There's really not a parking problem," he said. "There's a problem only if you want convenient parking." Roberts pointed out that the parking lot at the corner of Bauman and Ayers is never full, but added that it's also a little bit of a walk to the nearest building — Liberal Arts. Roberts said the most common reason for ticketing a car is no parking sticker. "There's no reason for that," he said. "There's no charge to register a vehicle." Roberts said he thinks most of these infractions ae caused by new students coming to CSU who are unfamiliar with the parking regulations. He also said many night students are apparently under the impression that they don't have to register their vehicles, which is not true. He said anyone who receives a "no decal" ticket can register their vehicle within 48 hours, and the ticket will be voided. Roberts said the second most common violation is parking in faculty and staff lots. Some students apparently feel that security officers spend the majority of their time writing tickets, but Roberts said such is not the case. "It's more of a spontaneoustype thing. If we see a problem in a certain area, we will work on that area until we get the problem corrected. "We're not just writing tickets. We're on patrol, protecting property," Roberts said. "We have no quotas, either," he said. "That's another myth. As a matter of fact, it's less work for us if the ticket is not written. "Our number one concern is to
people and property," said Roberts. "If a lot is completely full, then without a doubt, there are some illegally-parked vehicles in there. That just causes a traffic hazard, and they're not supposed to be there." Roberts said the campus security is doing several things to make parking easier on students. For instance, dozens of signs have been put in place in the various parking lots to tell students how the lot is designated. At the repeated requests of several students, a row of faculty parking on the south side of the Communications Building will be changed to "unrestricted student parking" beginning the fall semester. Roberts said those spots were needed for students working
on the campus newspaper, yearbook, radio stations and television station. Roberts said "courtesy warnings" are given out early in the semester for cars that aren't registered. Security officers also inform students of the parking regulation during freshman orientation. Dr. Larry Williams, vice president of administration, said two lots have been paved this summer and several have been resealed in preparation for the fall semester. The lot directly east of East Hall and the lot southeast of the University Center were paved this summer. Williams said that when a gravel lot is paved and marked as much as 30 percent additional
parking can be obtained. Williams said the CSU maintenance crew does all of the striping on the campus lots so that traffic studies can be done. Williams said parking improvements are a priority at CSU, but tha parking is less of a priority than educational needs. He said that long-term goals call for paving all gravel lots and to resurface the lot directly east of the University Center. Not all students are complaining about the parking situation. Some have learned to adapt, and other are happy just to make it to campus. "Walking doesn't bother me," said Rebecca Marler, a junior from Midwest City. "I can see where it would bother someone
who doesn't like to walk." Marler said most of her classes are in the Communications Building or in Liberal Arts, yet she parks near the softball field north of the library and walks, regardless of whether she's late or on time. "I don't usually run. I feel that I'm in college and can go to class whenever I want to," she said. "I think they're trying to improve the situation," said Marler. "There's only so much parking you can put in." So while more student spaces are being added near buildings, there will never be 13,000 parking spaces near the front door and, the majority of CSU's students are going to have to walk a little — and gripe.

e
'Mr. Fingers' to appear The nationally known sleightof-hand artist, Iry Weiner, better known as "Mr. Fingers," will perform in the University Center Ballroom on at 8 p.m. Wednesday. The University Center Activities Board is sponsoring the event with the cooperation of RHA and the Student Association. A mysterious little parcel came in the mail last summer to Colleen Garside, UCAB sponsor from the "Fabulous Fingers." A note glued to the top read, "IMPORTANT! Not to be opened until called for on stage during the program!" So, until the night of the performance, the sealed box will be on display in the glass case across from the Corner on the second floor of the University Center. Aside from this test of ESP, Weiner will also demonstrate hand stunts and sleight-of-hand tricks. The one-man show, which is currently touring throughout the nation at colleges and universities, brings back the skills of the past greats of old vaudeville. Weiner promises that inside the box, are his written predictions of the September 4th news headlines along with other news events that may have occurred between the time the box was mailed and the
Helicopter due for ROTC visit
.
CSU students will once again be able to witness "Army Aviation in Action" from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Wednesday in the open field across from the Liberal Arts Building. An Army helicopter will visit the campus offering rides to all students enrolled in Military Science courses. The aircraft will be on display Wednesday afternoon from 1-3 p.m. Other activities sponsored by the ROTC include the annual Cadet/Cadre Softball game at 5 p.m. on Friday at the softball diamond on the corner of University Drive and Ayers. A free cook-out will be held at Fink Park following the game. Cadets and Cadre are encouraged to bring a glove and join in the festivities and fun. All students enrolled in Military Science courses are invited to attend.
night of the show. The validity of the predictions will be determined when the package is opened as part of the program. Weiner, who graduated and then taught at Chavez College in Los Angeles, is a recognized master of the art. The visiting entertainer also will make informal appearances at the cafeterias during the day and is expected to be circulating around the campus for part of the afternoon.

SOME COLLEGE COURSES ARE MORE EXCITING THAN OTHERS. How many college courses teach you how to shoot the rapids? Or rappel a cliff? Or find your way out of a forest with nothing but a map and compass to guide you? At least one does—Army ROTC. And you could find yourself doing any one of a number of exciting adventure training activities like these in the Army ROTC program. Activities that developyour stamina. And your self-confidence. But adventure training isn't the only way you develop. You'll also learn the basics of leadership and management by attending ROTC classes, along with the subjects in your major. And you'll be excited about two other benefits Army ROTC offers. Financial assistance. Up to $1,000 a year for your last two years of Army ROTC. And the opportunity to graduate with both a degree and a commission in today's Army—including the Army Reserve and Army National Guard.

Central State University is preparing to face one of the toughest schedules in the school's history when the Bronchos kick off the season against defending NAIA national champion and No. 1 ranked CarsonNewman, Tenn., in Morristown, Tenn., on Sept. 7. CSU, ranked No. 5 in the country in the pre-season NAIA football poll, will also play six NCAA Division II schools during the course of the season and most of those games will be on the road. The Bronchos have just three home games on the schedule as a result of Southern Colorado eliminating its football program an Northeastern Oklahoma State University dropping the Bronchos from their schedule. "I've been here for a few years and this is no doubt the most challenging schedule we have had," said CSU head football coach Gary Howard. To make things more challenging, Howard must find some key replacements from last year's 7-3 squad as the Bronchos graduated 10 starters. CSU must replace the bulk of the offensive line and two tackles, two ends and two linebackers on defense. Replacing some of those seniors will not be easy. Gone is two-time All-American Ed Desherow (linebacker), honorable mention AllAmericans Mike Tasby (linebacker), Ron Whitely (center) and Randy Preston (cornerback) plus two-and three-year starters at both end and tackle. On the bright side, CSU returns 12 starters including a talented backfield, a record-tying placekicker and an experienced defensive secondary. A number of skilled transfers should help fill the void of the departing seniors. Among the returning starters on offense is quarterback Glynn Walker, who compiled 1,616 yards in total offense last season, and running back Eddie Goodlow, who was honorable mention All-American last season. Fullback Wayne Ellenberg, who impressed CSU coaches in spring drills, also returns to the starting backfield. The backfield will also be bolstered by University of Oklahoma transfer Alvin Ross. Flanker Aaron Bruner returns at split end and senior Clifford Burney is an all-district candidate at tight end. The offensive line is untested but has the potential to be very good despite the loss of some graduating seniors. Offensive guard Jimmy Banks (6-3, 250-pound junior) and center Jeff Pyle (6-2, 230-pound junior) are returning starters while OU transfers Lee Dudick (6-5, 265-pound junior), Scott Leggett (6-5, 270-pound junior) and Silas Satepauhoodle (6-7, 320-pound junior) are expected to be the remaining starters in the line. With that lineup, the Bronchos will average 6-4 and 267-pounds across the front line. On defense, noseguard Charles Bell (6-1, 230-pounds) is the only returning starter in the defensive line while the entire Broncho secondary is experienced with cornerbacks Lester Baldwin and Neal Galbraith back. Kicker Mark Monroe also returns. CSU will have to gel early if they hope to make the playoffs, as the Bronchos first two games, Carson-Newman and Northwest Missouri State, were 10-2-1 and 10-2, respectively, last season and are expected to field strong teams again this year. Carson-Newman won the NAIA title in 1983 and tied Central Arkansas, 19-19, in the championship game last year. Northwest Missouri State was a NCAA Division II playoff participant last season. "September will be real important for us," said Howard. "We play some important games early. We have to be ready to play some of our best football at the beginning of the season. "We've given ourselves a chance to compete with the people we play though, with the talent we have. We'll just have to be ready to compete mentally and physically by the first week of the season."
