CSU features celebration for black heritage week
I
By Mark Beutler Associate Editor Central State University will celebrate Black Heritage Month with a week of festivities to begin Sunday and continue through Feb. 16, according to Kim Jones, assistant director of Personnel Services and coordinator for the Black Peer Center. "The celebration nationally is a month long, but we (CSU) are only celebrating one week," Jones said. The theme for Black Heritage Week 1985 is "Daring To Make Dreams a Reality." Activities commence with a gospel extravaganza scheduled for 3 p.m. Sunday in the Liberal Arts Auditorium. The extravaganza will feature gospel choirs from the Oklahoma City area. Featured Monday will be the Cavannah M. Clark Heritage Awards and Soul Food Banquet. Clark retired from the university after several years of service as an associate professor of curriculum and instruction and he remains the only tenured black professor at CSU. The awards program will honor the outstanding black student, the outstanding black student leader and those black students who have been named to Who's Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges. "Students considered for the awards are generally nominated by sponsors of predominately black
organizations," Jones said. "They usually have a high grade point, they should have been on the President's Honor Roll for the previous fall or spring, or they may have been active in a greek organization," Jones continued. Immediately following the awards program will be a "soul food" banquet. Traditional ethnic delicacies featured are chitterlings, chicken and dumplings, southern fried chicken, fresh greens, black-eyed peas, corn bread, peach cobbler and sweet potato pie. The Diana Ross classic "Lady Sings the Blues" will kick off the "Black Film Festival," which begins at 5 p.m. Tuesday in the Music room of the University Center. "Lady" is about the life and times of blues singer Billie Holiday. Following "Lady Sings the Blues," the film "To Kill a Mockingbird," a classic based on a novel by Harper Lee, will be shown and the festival will conclude with Prince' 1984 "Purple Rain." Scheduled for Wednesday is "Al Bostick: A One Man Show," to be presented at 10:30 a.m. in the Liberal Arts Auditorium. Activities reconvene at 8 p.m. Feb. 16 in the University Center Ballroom with the Black Heritage Cotillion and coronation of Mr. and Ms. Black Heritage. CSU will also have several students who will participate in the Black Heritage College Bowl at Cameron University on Friday and Saturday.

illard announces record enrollment Central State University has reported its fourth consecutive record enrollment, Dr. Bill Lillard announced today. Total enrollment for the spring semester is 11,638 compared with 11,369 for a year ago, a 2.4 percent increase. "Central State University is the only university in the state that has continued to show enrollment
growth during the past two
years," said Lillard. The spring semester showed a headcount increase of 269 students. The full time equivalent—a measure of a full credit hour load—was up 1.4 percent from 7,820 to 7,928 for 1985. The total surpassed the all-time record spring enrollment of 11,382 in 1977, said associate vice president Dr. Barbra Ryan, direc-
for of institutional research. The largest gain in this year's enrollment was among seniors with 2,150, a 5 percent increase, followed by 2,173 juniors an increase of 4.9 percent. Sophomores showed a 3.1 percent increase with 1,932 and freshmen a 1.7 percent increase with a total of 2,477.

Welch denounced for smears By John George Yes, with Thomas Schwartz, let us acknowledge Robert Welch's patriotism. While we are at it let us pity him for his irresponsible smears of others at least equally noted for their patriotism. Commentary Welch believed President Eisenhower to be "a dedicated, conscious agent of the Communist conspiracy." And while this phrase was

removed from later printings of his book, The Politician, the following examples of Welch's "paranoid and unpatriotic drivel" (William F. Buckley's phrase) still disgrace the pages of that strange work (which can be purchased at virtually any John Birch bookstore): 1. Former CIA Director "Allen Dulles is the most protected and untouchable supporter of Communism, next to Eisenhower himself in Washington." (p. 227) 2. John Foster Dulles (Eisenhower's Secretary of State). "For many reasons and after a lot of study, I personally believe Dulles to be a Communist agent..." (p. 223) 3. On page 251, Welch refers to "Eisenhower's Communist bosses." 4. On page 217, Welch lists Anna Rosenberg, among others, as a Communist or Communist sympathizer. How strange! After thorough investigation, Welch's hero, Sen. Joe McCarthy, found his .own views of her to be 360 degrees off and voted in favor of her confirmation as under secretary of defense. Neither Welch nor any other radical rightist seems ever to have acknowledged this fact. 5. Welch tells us "that since at least sometime in the 1930s Gen. George Catlett Marshall has, been a conscious, deliberate, dedicated agent of the Soviet conspiracy" (p.15). 6. As to Welch being a "monolithicist"—he himself says so on pages 158-161 of The Blue Book of the John Birch Society. 7. The July 1971 Birch Bulletin reiterates that President Eisenhower was "a conscious, dedicated agent of the Communist Conspiracy." 8. Former Birch Society National Council member Revilo P. Oliver (spell it backward) wrote in American Opinion (Feb. '64) that President John F. Kennedy was killed bythe Communists because they were
afraid he was about to "turn American." Welch described this article as "superb commentary." FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover expressed highly critical views of Oliver's and Welch's statements in his testimony before the Warren Commission and later in the year stated at a November press conference, "I have no respect for the head of the Society, Robert Welch." 9. From the early 1960s, Robert Welch was roundly condemned by virtually every well-known conservative on the American scene: Bill Buckley, Russell Kirk, John Tower, Barry Goldwater, James Burnham, Jack Kilpatrick, Frank Meyer, Eugene Lyons and others too numerous to mention. 10. To the religious fundamentalists who thought Welch one of you, consider this: "I first broke through the intellectually restricting bonds of the unusually narrow Southern Baptist fundamentalism, in which I was raised, more than forty years ago." (Blue Book fourth printing, 1961, p. 152) Welch became a Unitarian and to my knowledge died a member of that most theologically "liberal" of churches. 11. Finally, Thomas Schwartz says "Although some may disagree with Welch's beliefs and methods, few can fail to admire his convictions and his conscience." Given the facts, most of us would not only disagree with Welch's beliefs and methods, but would also find nothing to admire his convictions and his conscience . I'm reminded of a group of young communists with whom I argued in the 1960s. Some of them would have used Schwartz's characterization, but applied it to another far more evil and dangerous man: "Although some may disagree with Joseph Stalin's beliefs and methods, many must admire his convictions and his patriotism."
To the Editor: While reading last Thursday's edition of the Vista, I was amused by the article concerning the Student Senate Trivial Pursuit Tournament. Amused, that is, until I read Speaker Joe McCourry's comment about "student apathy." In all fairness to McCourry, the remark may have been taken out of context for placement in The Vista, but I do not think that he gave much thought to the remark. I am not sure the student speaker appreciates the fact that I would have had to take a night off work, cancel the studies I did after work, and make a thirty-mile round trip to attend the Tuesday night trivia toodoo. I like to play Trivial Pursuit, but the sacrifices I would have made to attend the tournament were too great to make. I do not think, Mr. McCourry, that you examined my situation before you called me apathetic, and I am sure that many other "apathetic" students were faced with similar decisions. I am certain that many factors other than the supposed apathy affected the turnout for this affair. For a student leader to make such a flippant remark about the student body reflects more on the quality of his leadership abilities than on the student body itself. Thomas D. Dicken

Military pensions attacked
David Stockman, the budget director, Tuesday called the military pension system a "scandal," and he said that the military would put its pensions ahead of national security. "Institutional forces in the military," he said, "are more concerned about protection their retirement benefits than they are protecting the security of the American people. When push comes to shove, they'll give up on security before they'll give up on retirement." Mr. Stockman told the Senate Budget Committee that rather than slowing the President's proposed military budget to reduce the deficit, Congress should move to curtail the military pension program, which is projected to cost $17.8 billion in 1986, up from $7.3 billion in 1976.
Senate committee backs Meese The Senate Judiciary Committee Tuesday voted to approve the nomination of Edwin Meese to be Attorney General. In the 12-to-6 vote, coming almost a year after the panel fiist began considering the nomination, all 10 Republican members gave their support to Meese, who has served since 1981 as President Reagan's counselor. The full Senate will not take up the nomination until after the Feb. 8-19 Congressional recess. President Reagan, asked whether he had a reaction to the vote, said, "yes, a happy one."
Enrollment • Continued from page 1 Only Graduate students showed a decrease, 2906 compared with 2,942 for last year, down 1.2 percent. Lillard attributed the continued growth to the quality, accessability and availability of late evening
and night enrollment offerings to working students "There has been an especially rapid growth in computer science and business administration enrollment, particularly accounting and finance," said Dr. Lillard.
He summed up three principal reasons for continued growth."The University is located in the midst of a population growth center; it has tailor-made class schedules for working people, and low cost," explained Dr. Lillard.
School closed? Don't call CSU; radio, television will announce The first little snowflake that flutters down from the wintery Oklahoma skies sets off an avalanche of telephone calls to Central State University. "Have classes been cancelled?" "Any student who has lived in Oklahoma for very long knows how unpredictable our weather is," said Joe Park, public relations director. "It is impossible for us to know very far in advance if classes will be cancelled due to foul weather," said Park. "Our large number of commuters makes the decision even more difficult." "However, once the decision is made, whether for rain, snow or frigid wind chill, we make every effort to inform our students as soon as possible." When President Bill Lillard makes the decision to cancel classes, all Oklahoma City radio and television stations are notified immediately, explained Park. "We have a system in our office whereby we inform campus security, telephone operators, the alumni office which is in charge of the campus electronic message signs, and all area media," said Park.
"We would prefer that students stay tuned to radio and televion and not tie up university telephone lines whenever the weather turns bad," added Park. "It puts an unnecessary burden on our operators." "Obviously, we try to make the decision in time to make the major televsion newscast at 5 p.m. and 10 p.m. The radio stations are usually the first to get the word out since most of them have newscasts hourly," added Park. Evening classes have been cancelled most often due to the hazard of driving on slick roads after dark said Park. However, a very low windchill was a major factor in cancelling evening classes last week, he added. "The 7:30 and 8:30 a.m. classes were cancelled Tuesday morning in order to give the roads time to clear a little from early morning traffic," said Park. "If students will just stay alert and stay tuned to their radios and TV's, we can all avoid unnecessary telephone calls and unnnecessary trips," added Park.
House bans bottle clubs Despite an almost certain guarantee that it will be overruled, the House approved a liquor bill Tuesday banning any type of club in counties that reject liquor by the drink. The House bill, which now goes to the Senate, would prohibit even private bottle clubs in so-called dry counties. It would allow cocktail clubs only in counties that voted wet. In other action, lawmakers narrowly rejected a proposed Dram Shop Act, which would have made club owners potentially liable for persons who left their establishments intoxicated. The dry-county amendment was approved by a vote of 57 to 36. A special House committee originally supported such a move, but reveresed itself after most of its members became convinced that such a concept would be unenforceable.

Soap actress kills self An actress who once appeared regularly on a television soap opera committed suicide by shooting herself in the head, apparently after growing despondent over a recent lack of roles and other personal problems, authorities said Tuesday. Tara Preston, 34, who had appeared for several years on "The Guiding Light," was found about 10 p.m. Sunday in her Hollywood Hills home with a single rifle wound to the head, police Detective Russell Kuster said. "She was just a bit actor and hadn't even had any bit parts for a while, according to her friends and associates," Kuster said. "That, plus other things of a personal nature," on which he refused to elaborate, apparently drove her to suicide, he said.

U.S. destroyer denied entrance The United States said today that it was considering a range of retaliatory acitons against New Zealand for its refusal to allow a Navy destroyer to make a port visit next month. The warship's visit was to have occurred at the conclusion of joint naval exercises by Australian, New Zealand and American forces. The State Department announced Monday that the maneuvers had been canceled. The Reagan Administration said a firm American response was needed, beyond calling off the maneuvers, to demonstrate that allies could not impose limits on the movements of American military forces and get off "costfree." Prime Minister David Lange rejected a requested visit by the American destroyer Buchanan because the United States would not guarantee that the ship did not carry nuclear weapons.

Sociology professor eyes city post By Thomas Schwartz Dr. William Parker, director of CSU's criminal justice programs and associate professor of sociology, has announced his intention to run for 3rd Ward city council in Edmond. Parker, an Edmond resident since 1970, said he has always been "community conscious" and decided to run because he has an interest in municipal city government. The campaign trail is not new to Parker. In 1977, he ran for the position he currently is filing for. Parker was eliminated in the general election, losing to incumbent 3rd Ward Councilman Ted Anderson. Anderson has decided not to seek re-election for a third term. After the 1977 election, Parker was appointed to the City's Planning Commission. He is currently chairman of the commission. During his term on the Planning Commission, Parker served on several committees for city government, including the Charter Revision Committee. "I believe good management, good administration and good planning are as vital in city municipal government as any other level of government," Parker said. Parker feels city government affects the lives of citizens more so than any other form of government. "Decisions made here in Edmond at the city council meetings will affect one's life as much, if not more, than decisions made in Washington," he said.
Parker's reason for running for office? "I would like to contribute to Edmond's continued growth and development," he said. Parker stated that he has no conflict of interest in running for the council post and feels this is advantageous. "I own no land except for my house. I have no clients whose interests I must serve, other than my students and I have nothing in my professional life that would affect my objectivity." If Parker wins the election, he indiated it will have no effect on his duties as a professor at CSU. "City council is a part-time job in the sense that you don't have to be there full-time. Winning will not keep me from continuing to accomplish what I want to do here at the university." Parker believes the issues of the campaign include continued good financial administration, orderly growth and development of Ed-

Any Edmond residents or CSU students wishing to help in his campaign are "very appreciated," Parker said. Currently, Parker said he is the only publicly announced candidate for the 3rd Ward office.

would work toward resolving disputes through negotiations and compromise. "We have to negotiate in such a way to maximize results for everyone involved," Parker said. "The process of doing anything in politics successfully is the ability to compromise in such a way that you deal not with winners and losers, but winners and winners." Parker concluded by hoping that the people of Edmond would consider his candidacy in a "positive light." "If they feel my qualifications are reliable, I hope they will come

important," commented Judy Guthrie, an account executive who discovered the Tunesmiths after reading a newspaper article about them. Guthrie said the students sing the car dealership's theme song in the background as the commercial focuses on two people overcome by "special feeling" when they see an Oldsmobile. Tunesmiths Director Dr. Coleman Smith, CSU music professor, noted that working on the commercial provided students with an opportunity to observe how commercials are produced. "Many of the students were amazed at how much work it requires to film a commercial and how many times it can take to make everything perfect," Smith said.
Guthrie added that the Tunesmiths were well-rehearsed and said because of this, she expects the commercial to be successful. The commercial will air during February and appear throughout the year at different time periods. Members of the Tunesmiths are Danny Lowrance, Clinton; Janene McPhail, Crescent; Rick Barclay, Stephen Fite, Del City; Jenny Fowler, Enid; Joanie Gregory, Jackie Onderek, Scott McKinley, James Sanders, Edmond; Emily Payne, Guthrie.
