Preppie peddling to offer 'real' experience By Paul Busch The opportunity to gain "real world" experience in an advertising agency will be made available to Central State University advertising and public relations students through the Alpha Delta Sigma Preppie Peddling Auction to be held at 11:30 a.m. March 13 at The Centre. Held in connection with the Oklahoma City Advertising Club, the auction is an effort by the CSU student advertising chapter to fund its entry in a national campaign competition sponsored by the American
Advertising Federation. "Our goal is to raise at least $500 to help defray costs of creating and executing out campaign for Burger King, which we have been working on since November," said ADS president, Cherie Smith. Prior to bidding, each student will be introduced by the auctioneer and be categorized according to specific capabilities. Representatives of agencies will then be allowed to bid for eight hours of a particular "preppie's" labor.

"Students may complete the entire eight hours of labor in one day," Smith said. "Or the can arrange to work over a period of days to be agreed upon by the bidder and the student. "Most students have certain areas where they feel more competent about their skills," explained Smith. "But students should be prepared to do any work the agencies need." Smith said that persons wanting to attend the auction do not have to be members of Alpha Delta Sigma or be any particular age
or classification. "This is an excellent chance for students to learn about an advertising or public relations agency by benefiting from eight hours of practical, hands-on experience," she added. "It's a great opportunity to supplement classroom training." Student interested in committing themselves to working for an ad agency should contact fund raising coordinator Eva Galipeau at 341-2980, ext. 2100, no later that March 22 for further information.

Regents request legislature to up tuition The Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education Tuesday passed a measure requesting the Oklahoma Legislature to enact legislation that would require resident students to pay fees at rates not to exceed 25 percent of total instructional costs. Central State University students were projected to pay 20.8 percent of the total instructional costs for the 1984-1985 school year, according to budget reports.
The Regents also passed a measure asking for nonresident tuition to be raised to, but not exceed, 75 percent of total instructional costs in the system. The proposal has the provision that fees and tuition would not be increased more than 10 and 15 percent respectively in any one year.

tuition and fees was based on Regent reports that Oklahoma is among the bottom ten states in percentage of student costs in spite of 10 percent increases each of the past three years. According to Chancellor Joe Leone, national averages for state appropriated funds show students paying 27 percent of instructional costs. Oklahoma students currently
pay an average of 18 percent of the total instructional costs, Leone said. Other states averages, Leone said, show Missouri students paying 40 percent of total instructional costs. Kansas and Texas pay 25 and 15 percent respectively. A study comparing state student charges with those in nine
surrounding states show Oklahoma students well below the regional average, according to a study of student costs released by the Regents. Student charges for both resident undergraduates and graduates in Oklahoma's senior colleges rank seventh among the eight states in the region that have state senior colleges.
Students lobby for higher education Approximately 200 students from 16 schools gathered in the senate chamber at the state capitol Wednesday in an effort to lobby student interest and concern over higher education. Higher Education Day was the result of a proclaimation submitted by the of the Oklahoma Student Government Association (OSGA) and signed by Gov. Nigh. Student Association president, Ed Howell, attended the lobbying effort, and emphasized the quality of higher education. "We stressed that we were interested in the quality of higher education, and not coming out against the
tuition and fee hikes. We are basically not opposed to it, but we just want something for our money," Howell said. Following the lobbying session, the group was addressed by Sen. Randall and House Speaker Barker, among others. According to Howell, one member of each school was permitted to address the legislature. "One person from each university was given the opportunity to make a statement. OU served as moderator for the session, because Higher Education Day was an OU resolution, and they wanted to do it," Howell said.
