Appeal procedures detailed for students with instructor gripes

By Diana Zahradnik "Do I have to sleep with an instructor to get a grade and prostitute myself to get a Master's degree?" said one irate Master's candidate.

"I don't know what to do," the candidate continued, who asked to remain anonymous.

What does a student do when harassed by an instructor? Some of the types of harassment students may find themselves faced with are: instructors calling them at home asking for a date, making innuendos in class about a relationship that doesn't exist, or receiving a grade that is lower than expected or withholding a grade so that student has to show up in the instructor's office.

"Phone numbers given to instructors is a matter of routine," says Dr. Dudley Ryan, dean of students services, "the instructor is never questioned about why they need a phone number."

Many frustrated and afraid students may not know the procedure to protest a grade or unethical behavior of an instructor. The "Faculty Handbook" is the only source found which gives step by step protesting procedures for students.

The disciplinary action section of the "Faculty Handbook" states, "Faculty is responsible for the promotion of high standards of conduct and citizenship on the campus. Whenever any form of misbehavior is noted, the faculty members should not hesitate to call it to the attention of the offenders. Any form of misconduct that may be known to a member of the faculty should be reported promptly to the Associate Dean of Students."

According to the "Faculty Handbook" two appeals procedures exist for the student who has a grievance: "The first enables a student to seek redress when the student believes a faculty member has not met professional obligations to the student or has not behaved in an ethical manner in a professional relationship with the student.

"The second allows a student to appeal the assignment of a grade.

Any faculty member approached by a student considering an appeal must inform the student of the availability of these procedures."

Appeal of an alleged violation of professional ethics Step one: Direct discussion with the instructor (optional).

According to the "Faculty Handbook", "The student should seriously consider the advisability of conferring with the instructor in question in order to attempt to resolve the grievance without filing a written complaint. It is quite acceptable for the student and/or the instructor to be accompanied to this meeting. All parties are to treat these discussions as confidential.

Step two: Mediation by the Chairperson and Dean.

"The student desiring mediation must submit a formal signed statement of grievance(s) by the end of the forth week of the next semester in which the student enrolls after that during which the alleged violation occurs but in no case later than one calendar year from the date of the incident.

"The statement must include a clear descripton of the event(s) leading to the filing of grievance and the specific remedy sought. It shall be given to the Dean of the college in which the instructor was teaching.

Upon receipt the Dean shall provide the instructor and the chairperson with copies.

"The Dean and chairperson or senior full-time member of the department if the chairperson is concerned in the grievance, shall meet to evaluate the merit of the grievance within seven class days of its receipt and shall meet with the student and instructor concerned within fourteen class days of its receipt.

"The purpose of the meeting shall be to attempt to reconcile differences through recommendations to the parties. The results of the meeting shall be reduced to writing, and signed copies shall be See Appeal, back page

Lillard's dean picks OK'd by committee

By Curtis Killman Editor Despite protests from faculty members, a Board of Regents of Oklahoma Colleges personnel committee voted July 11, to give a "do-pass" recommendation to two dean appointments that were tabled last month.

The five member committee wasted no time voting to move into executive session for about 65 minutes to talk out the dean appointments with CSU President Dr. Bill Lillard.

Upon coming out of closed session, committee members voted unanamously to approve Lillard's requests. Lillard's appointments, submitted in the form of an addendum and tabled by the regents at their June 21 meeting, will go before the full board of regents 9 a.m., Friday at the Oliver Hodge Memorial Education Building in Oklahoma City.

If the board of regents agree with the committee's recommendations, Dr. Clif' Warren, chairman of the creative studies department, will become the new dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Dr. Paul Lehman, a professor of English, will assume the dean of the graduate college post.

Some members of the liberal arts dean screening committee and other faculty members voiced dissapproval when Lillard chose to appoint Warren. The screening committee favored the appointment of acting dean of Liberal Arts Dr. Frank Wert.

Unless one of the five regents on the personnel committee changes their "do-pass" vote, Lillard's appointments should be approved at Friday's regent meeting, regardless of the other three regents votes.

A vacant seat exist on the usual nine member Board of Regents. The governor appoints regent members which then must be confirmed by the State Senate.

The personnel committee consisted of John R. deSteiguer, Bowie Ballard, Linda Blankenship, Dr. John Folks and Belva Howard.

The remaining three regents are Wayne Salisbury, Jack Annis and Don Carpenter.

If the Regents approve the appointments, Warren and Lehman will receive a salary of $44,500 according to Lillard.

Meanwhile, reaction among some of the faculty members was mixed.

Herman Fullgraf, chairman of the liberal arts screening committee, said Monday that he did not know of anyone planning to attend the Friday regent meeting.

"I haven't talked to anyone and I don't know of anything being done at this moment," said Fullgraf.

"I have no knowledge of anyone planning to attend."

Dr. Donald Green, chairman of the history and geography departments, said he sent copies of a petition supporting the Wert selection to the president and to the regents last week. But, he said "it's all over," as far as he was concerned.

"We should learn by now that these things are already all over before the search committee ever even meets," said Green. "When are we going to learn that's the way things are done here," Green added.

"I think there are two things that have happened here out of this experience," said Green, "number one of course it's permanently split the College of Liberal Arts, and the second thing is that it has added to the cynicism that a lot of people already have about there being any possible changes at this institution for the better.

"I think also what happens with this kind of a decision is that the more capable people on campus simply retreat from the field to their own professional work. I think what a lot of people don't understand is that whenever you get involved in anything like this on campus it doesn't do one single thing for your professional reputation.

"If you're involved professionally in the academic world and you attend your professional meetings once or twice a year, and you talk with people on other campuses, you realize what we have here on this campus is an aberation, it's not the norm across the country.

"Most campuses have a president who is either an academic or at least understands the academic world — we don't.

"We have a president who very well understands. how to play the 'good ole boy' game.

Green said 54 signatures were on the petition that was sent to the president. This summer there are 68 liberal arts teachers on campus, according to Green, and 125 full time teachers in the Liberal Arts College throughout the year.

Opinion Page In search of an attractive campus

By Rebecca L. Marler In Man's search to make serviceable tools for his needs he has also tried to endow them with a certain amount of aesthetic appeal. CSU has instigated several renovations to make the college more effective but have neglected the visual appeal in designing the campus grounds.

Editorial A parking lot is being paved on the north side of the Liberal Arts Building.

The roof to the Art Building is being repaired and the holes in the pavement on the north side of the Business Building have been filled. Additional telephone poles have been added for a more powerful support network of the school's electrical system.

Despite these improvements several areas of the campus could use some help. The tennis courts between the Business Building and the Liberal Arts Building need to be repaved and repainted. New nets need to be fixed over the middle of the courts.

There are not enough park benches or bicycle racks for the use of the students. Nowhere is there a centrally located map of the campus for the use of pedestrians who may be unfamilar with the building format of Central State University.

The problem is not that the campus does not have potential but that this potential is not being fully realized.

Good sized trees are scattered across

the grounds, the grass is kept up and there are plenty of shrubs and bushes.

The use of more flowers around trees, in planters and along the sides of the buildings would add some much needed color at a relatively low price for the school.

The only piece of artwork is the Broncho statue in front of the Field House north of the main area of the school. The Thatcher Hall has a row of shrubbery and flowers which seem to grow with a will of their own. When was the last time this flower bed was weeded?

Large areas of flat green grass span the west side of the Liberal Arts Building and the front entrance to the University from Second Street. Could these areas be brightened with some flowers and bushes well placed?

The campus grounds seem to lack a cohesive unifying landscape plan which would visually connect the buildings as one unit. Why can't landscape professionals be used, building upon what assets the campus already has. Surely with all the good trees and land available something could be done that would greatly improve the visual appeal of Central State University.

A university's highest priority should be in providing the highest quality of education within it's power.

However, a college should also have the beauty of it's environment to serve as a balance between the art of cold learning and the enrichment of the creative powers of the mind.

More and more Americans are finding themselves involved in international conflicts, often innocent victims.

As more American corporations open operations in foreign countries the risk grows — corporations that employ college graduates, many from Central State University.

It might be wise for students, in pursuing their degrees, to consider the probability of their future jobs being with one of these corporations, businesses or organizations which have operations in foreign countries.

Attention!

A dare for closed minds To the editor: How many people, in the process of getting a grade rather than an education, read only those books which the professor requires, investigate only those subjects directly raised in class, etc.?

When these people leave, they will have acquired none of the skills necessary to think for themselves, and consequently, will be the natural target of any leader or economic power who will manipulate them in a direction contrary to their best interests (i.e., they will be fit citizens for a dictator-

ship, not a democracy!).

In the interest of opening some minds and generating some nonrequired reading interest, I wonder how many people would go through four years in this institution without ever knowing that we have a complete 1771 edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica in our library? (and they wouldn't know it because no professor ever required them to look at it!).

If we need some authority to direct our actions, are we prepaing ourselves to be citizens of a democracy?

World, state and local NEWS Reagan ready to return to work The White house said Tuesday that President Reagan was "champing at the bit" to return to work despite the disclosure Monday that a tumor removed from his abdomen was cancerous.

Reagan conferred with Donald T. Regan, his chief of staff, for 25 minutes and spent most of the afternoon with his wife, Nancy, in a suite at Bethesday Naval Medical Center in Maryland.

White House spokesman Larry Speakes, said that despite "a little discomfort," as a result of the surgery the President "continues to recover very well."

Task force to study tax cheating A 24-member task force will be initiated to study tax evasion if a legislative subcommittee has its way.

The special tax enforcement unit was included in the Tax Commission's appropriation bill that was approved Tuesday by a legislative subcommittee on general government.

The bill still must be approved by the General Conference Committee on Appropriations and both the House and Senate.

The bill will also focus on businesses that are delinquent on remitting sales tax collections.

U.S. Army says truck rammed The Defense Department said Tuesday that a Soviet Army truck rammed into a Land-Rover carrying three members of the United States Army liaison mission in East Germany last weekend. It said the senior American officer assigned to the mission was injured in the collision.

The United States Military mission in East Germany protested to Soviet authorities over the incident, the Pentagon said. It was the second such protest this year about Soviet use of force against Americans assigned to monitor the movements of Soviet forces in East Germany under postwar agreements.

Arbitration bill passes A bill to provide funds for dispute resolution programs throughout Oklahoma was signed into law this week by Governor George Nigh.

House Bill 1552 will provide funds by earmarking $2 of the $38 fee charged for filing every civil case.

Mediation and arbitration programs are helping to relieve crowded court dockets in many states by using a non-partial third party to help disputing parties come to a compromise instead of going to court.

Ryan strives to aid students

By Charla Sossen Dr.Dudley Ryan, CSU's vice president of student services, leads a full life. Not only is his time occupied with his busy work schedule, but he also has an active family life.

Ryan has had many experiences at CSU, and not all of them as an

Dr. Dudley Ryan

administrator. Ryan started his relationship with CSU in 1956 as an beginning freshman, and by 1960 he had his degree in Industrial Arts.

After graduating, Ryan went to work at South East High School.

During that time he worked on getting his master's degree. By 1964, he had attained his master's in guidance and counseling, and in 1966 he began working at CSU as the director of student activities. His titles escalated and in 1984 he was named vice president of student services.

Now he, along with Deanna Land, associate dean of student services, work with students and student organizations in an attempt to promote and be of service to the student body.

Ryan and his wife, Annette, have one child, their 14-year-old daughter — Kim. Ryan mentioned how much he and and his family enjoy being together. He and his daughter especially like to go swimming together.

Ryan has other hobbies as well.

He enjoys gardening, refinishing

old family heirlooms, and goes deer and squirrel hunting when he is able. Along with his other talents, Ryan is a carpenter. He built the house that he and his family have lived in for the past five years. He did mention that there were still a few loose ends to tie up as far as the house was concerned, but that it was basically finished.

One of the main functions of student services is dealing with high school/college relations.

They talk with high school counselors and provide them with information about CSU. Then they talk with seniors and give tours around campus.

"In August," Ryan said, "we get very busy."

When asked about his goals for the office of student services, he said that he has no goals other than "doing whatever we can in relation to growth."

As for his personal future, Ryan said,: "My interest is in staying right here."

Biology prof helps locate mosque site

By Paula Miller Islamic Center, Inc. a group of five prominent Moslem businessmen are making plans for a multimillion dollar 'mosque' (Arabic for church), to be built just north of the CSU campus.

Members of the group are Dr. Nazih Zuhdi, an Oklahoma City cardiologist, Dr. S A. Dahr, a cardiologist at Baptist Hospital, Dr. F. Kansa, a hemotologist—oncologist at Mercy Hospital, Dr. M. Yasin, a cardiologist at St. Anthony Hospital, Dr. I. Ahmad, also a cardiologist at St. Anthony Hospital and Dr. Riaz Ahmad, a microbiology professor here at CSU. Zuhdi said credit for finding the location should be given to the CSU professor, Dr. Ahmad. He said Ahmad and some of his friends found the site, and it was decided to be an ideal location for the mosque.

A request has been filed for a special use zoning permit. Once this permit is granted, construction of the gold domed mosque will begin just north of the campus on the east side of Chowning Avenue near the University Drive intersection. It is hoped to be completed within a year.

Zuhdi said they estimate to spend beyond $1 million on the mosque.

Ahmad said the mosque will be open to anyone who "believes in a creator — Jews, Moslems, or Christians." He said they plan to have a large library in the mosque, and hopes it will be a place to go to study, to pray, and to play.

Edmond doctor explains radial keratotomy

By Elaine Briggs Satisfied patients like Central State junior Carl Hocker and history professor Dr. Patrick McGinnis praise the operation which has freed them from contact lenses and glasses. It is performed under local anesthesia.

The patient is free to leave the doctor's office in less than one hour. And it is becoming increasingly popular, especially among young adults.

Yet, nearly 15 years after its introduction to the United States, radial keratotomy remains a controversial procedure. Dr. Robert Gourley, Edmond opthamalogist who performs the surgery, explains why.

"The term radial keratotomy refers to the radial pattern of incisions that come out like bicycle spokes on the front of the eye.

Kera refers to the cornea, and otomy means an incision."

According to Dr. Gourley, the method was first discovered in Russia in the early 1970s when a man reportedly had a bottle explode in his face. The fragments lacerated his eye. After everything was healed the patient and his physician noted that he no longer needed his glasses to see out of that eye.

"This led to the theory that incisions on the front of the eye, on the cornea, could change its curvature and the degree of nearsightedness a person has."

Leo Bores was the first American opthamalogist to become interested in the procedure. He studied in Russia for a time, and began to do the operation in the United States in the mid-1970s. In 1981 Gourley became certified to do the procedure after working under Dr. Bores. Currently, five Oklahoma City area eye surgeons perform the operation.

Gourley, who is the past president of the Oklahoma Opthamalogical Society, says that radial keratotomy is controversial because many people who are contemplating having the procedure done are people whose vision can be correcfted to 20/20 with glasses or contacts. The risk

lies in operating simply so that the patient will not have to wear glasses. In his view, this is the weakest reason to do the surgery.

How great are the risks? "Well, that's an unknown right now because we don't have enough long term follow-up to really know and state with good documented statistics what all the risks are," he said.

There can be immediate complications and side effects such as fluctuating vision and glare. But Gourley notes that the most current data show that when candidates for the operation are selected within specific guidelines the risks are very minimal. The risk increases when careful screening methods are not used with each individual case.

With cautious screening and selection most patients realize improvement, often significant, in their vision, but the doctor can make no guarantees.

"Radial keratotomy is still an operation which is in a state of flux and there are many variables we don't have all the answers to."

Gourley wants each patient to understand the situation well enough to make an informed deci-

sion. Gourley is bothered unethical practices might propose radial keratotomy as a quick fix for poor vision.

One of the most important steps in the procedure is a thorough screening and patient evaluation. The intricate testing may be time consuming or inconvenient for the patient, but it is the key to a successful operation.

"One of the big things as far as I'm concerned, is that we don't know what will happen 20 years from now," says Gourley, a selflabelled conservative when it comes to recommending the procedure. He points out that currently no research indicates any serious potential complications which might arise for patients, but clear evidence on the subject won't be available for five to ten years.

Just who is a good candidate for the procedure? In Gourley's opinion the patient must be at least 18 years old, and only then in specialized circumstances, because the eye needs to stabilize in its growth before its curvature can be safely change. The ideal age range for the operation seems

to be from 20 to about 40, he said.

The next criteria Gourley considers is the amount of nearsightedness. The patient must have significant myopia. A minimal problem which can be corrected with lightweight glasses or contacts does not justify the risks involved in a major surgical procedure, Gourley said.

On the other hand, Gourley is reluctant to consider a patient who is too severely nearsighted because the operation has not proven successful for these people.

Gourley looks for the patient who is in the "middle ground."

What makes the operation worth the risk to a patient? In addition to those who seek the procedure for merely cosmetic purposes, Gourley identified other candidates.

People who, like Carl Hocker and Patrick McGinnis, have an intolerance to contact lenses or find glasses difficult to wear because of work, or because of the limitations corrective lenses impose on their lifestyle may be candidates for the operation.

One of the best candidates is the person who has been prevented from pursuing occupational goals because of restricted eyesight.

Prof, student shed lenses Elaine Briggs "A miracle of modern technology," are the words Carl Hocker, a CSU junior and pre-med major, uses to describe the operation known as radial keratotomy. Nine months ago Hocker was extremely nearsighted and had difficulty wearing contact lenses. Today he enjoys 20/20 vision.

Dr. Patrick McGinnis, CSU professor of history, echoes Hacker's enthusiasm. An "overnight vision improvement" was the result of the operation which he had in 1980 at Oklahoma City's Dean A. McGee Eye Institute.

Following standard opthamalogical practice, McGinnis' physicians, Drs. Hal D. Balyeat and James J. Rowsey, did not attempt the thenexperimental procedure on both eyes at once. The right eye was corrected, and eight months later, in February, 1981 the left eye was done, During the lapse, techniques improved. The left eye required only one-half the 16 incisions made in the right eye. However, because a different anesthetic was used for the second operation,

McGinnis recalls it as being more painful. He had some minor discomfort during the first few days after surgery, and he was sensitive to bright light for about one month until his vision stabilized.

But five years later, McGinnis is still very satisfied with the results and has experienced no significant deterioration of his vision.

"It is particularly delightful to be able to read road signs," says McGinnis who doesn't even need his glasses for driving on bright days.

Hocker's operations were completed on an outpatient basis in Edmond by opthamalogist Robert Gourley and required only 30 minutes per eye. Less than two months passed between the two surgeries, and after six full months Hocker has retained his 20/20 sight.

"It is so nice to be able to get up in the morning and see the alarm clock," exclaims Hocker as he discussses his new-found freedom from glasses and contact lenses. He doesn't miss the nuisance of cleaning dust from his contact lenses.

Gourley mentioned the vision standards which are imposed on professions such as the police or the FBI. The operation may allow those people to achieve the necessary level of vision to realize their goals.

A final group includes those whose vision is so restricted as to prevent functional sight without some type of corrective lense.

Gourley suggested the case of a man who might not be able to see well enough without glasses to find soap on the shower floor. For these candidates the operation would not eliminate the need for glasses, but it would enable them to have adequate sight in closerange situations.

During the last five years Gourley has performed the operation less than 100 times. "I talk more people out of it (the operation) than I talk into it," he admits, stressing that every case must be weighed individually.

"Current statistics indicate that of patients within the stated range of criteria, 80 percent will achieve 20/40 or better vision, and so far, it appears they will maintain that correction." However, Gourley warns that these statistics do not reflect long term follow-up.

Presently, radial keratotomy procedures cost between $2,000 and $3,000 in the Oklahoma City area. Most insurance companies do not provide coverage because it is considered essentially cosmetic.

However, Gourley believes the day may come when occupational need and severe myopia cases may be included in medical coverage.

Even though it is still a very controversial medical procedure, Gourley is optimistic about the future of radial keratotomy. He feels it may be possible, eventually, to refine technology so that the many variables which pose problems now can be controlled.

Research into these questions is on-going at medical facilities like the Dean A. McGee Eye Institute in Oklahoma City as well as in private practice. If and when the answers are found, radial keratotomy could become as commonplace as glasses and contact lenses are today.

Bomb threats? Fires?

Campus security prepared for emergencies

By Jan Adams "What is that noise?" students look at each other questioningly.

Someone opens the door and says, "Fire drill! Everyone out!"

The students begin to leave the building, laughing and talking on their way out. Within minutes, the building is empty.

Central State University's Chief of Security Bob Roberts hopes to have this type of orderly evacuation whether the alarm is real or only a drill.

Emergency situations can and do occur everyday and CSU's security officers have been schooled in the proper procedure for handling emergencies. Two potential disasters are the bomb threat and fire.

"We have smoke detectors and

automatic hand alarms," said Chief Roberts. "When an alarm is sounded the Edmond Fire Department and the campus police immediately go to the area and determine if there is a fire. They conduct a room-to-room search once the evacuation is completed."

According to Roberts, all of the dormitory alarms are tied directly to the fire department and all building alarms sound at the security office. When an alarm goes off in the security office, police call the fire department and campus police are dispatched immediately.

Occasionally, CSU receives a bomb threat. Roberts and his officers also have a standard procedure they follow.

"The first thing is to get as

much information as possible from the caller. Are they male or female, do they have an accent, where is the location of the bomb, and what time is it to be activated," says Roberts.

"Once this information is determined, security goes to the building and if time allows, makes as thorough a search as possible.

"If we can't detect anything, we go to the chairperson in the building where the bomb is supposed to be. It is their option whether or not to disrupt classes and evacuate the building," Roberts said.

"Based on the current world situation, we're not going to take any chances," he stated.

If the chairperson decides to evacuate the building, the alarm is sounded. Campus Security enlists

the help of the Edmond Fire Department so fire fighting equipment and paramedics are on hand in case an emergency situation actually develops.

"If we have the time, we can call in the bomb squad from the Oklahoma County Sheriff's Department. They have dogs that sniff out explosives," explained Roberts. The Edmond Police Department also has trained dogs available.

"Most of the time, we don't have time to call in these forces.

Time is the big factor in determining our course of action," Roberts said.

Nothing can prevent these emergencies from arising, but having a well-trained staff and a procedural policy enables Chief Roberts and his staff to react quickly and professionally.

"Our main purpose in these types of situations is to save lives," Roberts said. "We feel our policy enables us to react quickly and handle the situation in the best possible manner."

Music, melons on tap tonight An old fashioned band concert featuring traditional band music will be presented by the Central State University summer band at 7 tonight. The band will play on the lawn south of the University Center, and free watermelon will be served following the concert.

Campus ra d io station seeks / an 'all-important necessity

By Kelly Robison KBLZ is a cable radio station located in the Communications Building on Central State University's campus that has all the makings for an over the air station—except one. That allimportant antenna. Someday, "Blitz" personnell say, they do plan to go over the air. But for now, money is a problem and they want to sound like professionals before they go on the air.

People living in Edmond can, however, receive KBLZ's transmission by subscribing to Edmond Cablevision. A cable splitter is required, though, and it connects to the back of the cable box receiver. The cable receiver then connects to a stereo receiver.

The final step that is required is to turn the stereo on and listen to KBLZ. In addition, the splitter allows the cable subscriber to receive MTV and the Nashville network in stereo, and better reception of commercial fm stations is another.

"KBLZ is an excellent opportunity for broadcasting majors going into radio get first hand experience. It does take some time to learn, but once you get started it can really be a lot of fun and a very rewarding learning experience," commented Assistant Program and Music Director,

Darren Hellwege.

KBLZ is on cable daily from 3 p.m. until midnight, except Saturday, six to midnight. CSU broadcasting students are the DJ's for the station. Tom Clare is the student Music and Program Director and Dr. Mike Dunn is the general manager for both KBLZ and KCSC, CSU's "classic alternative."

KBLZ receives complementary albums from all major record companies and from independent record companies. The format is a blend of Album Oriented Rock and Contemporary Hit. The station could be called a training ground because many of the now KCSC DJs were once KBLZ DJs. Hellwege has a special program Monday, 10 p.m. to 1 a.m., called "Control Dangerous Sound."

This program is filled with music that is not heard daily, and could be considered new wave or punk— or just different.

What is in the future for KBLZ? Hellwege says "We would like to get a small antenna to get the station over the air and reach all of the campus plus a small area around campus. But, until financial difficulties are out of the way we will keep working and improving so that when we do get the antenna we will be ready for over the air broadcasting."

Journalism chairman has book published

Double Winners of the Medal of Honor is the title of a book set for fall publication by Central State University journalism chairman Dr. Ray Tassin.

The book, an account of the exploits of 19 men who have each received the prestigious medal twice, is Tassin's fourth full-length nonfiction work. He also has two historical novels to his credit and more than 600 articles published in various magazines and Sunday newspaper supplements.

A career naval officer, Tassin participated in various historic events during World War II, serving on three destroyers. He retired from the navy in 1982 after receiving seven campaign medals, 14 battle stars and 11 letters of commendation.

Tassin has been listed in the "International Who's Who in Education," "Contemporary Authors" and the "Directory of American Scholars." He was awarded honorary life membership in the Oklahoma Writers Federation for outstanding achievement and service in the field of literature in Oklahoma.

Additionally, the writer has served as Oklahoma director of the Medal of Honor History Roundtable and vice president and president of the Southwest Journalism Congress.

Double Winners of the Medal of Honor will be published by Daring Books, Canton, Ohio, and will be available this fall.

Steele awarded scholarship

By Mark Beutler Associate Editor A definition of "piano" in Webster's dictionary lists the instrument as "a stringed instrument having steel wire strings that sound when struck by felt-covered hammers operated from a keyboard."

But for Jan Pokorny Steele, assistant professor of music at CSU, the piano is more than that—it's a vital part of her everyday routine.

"I play about two or three hours a day," Steele said. "During the regular school year I'm teaching, but in the summer I try to spend more time at it," she continued.

Her hours of practice have paid off. Steele recently participated in the Sixth Annual Chopin Workshop at Texas A & I in Kingsville, Texas. After performing a group of Chopin Nocturnes, she was awarded a tuition scholarship, which she says allowed her to attend the three-day workshop

virtually free of charge.

"Any fee was waived by the auditioners to attend this workshop. They gave some tuition scholarships, some housing and some part-tuition scholarships. But I got a full tuition so it didn't cost me but about $20 to go," she laughed.

The workshop was conducted

by Dr. Thomas Pierson and Dr. Jan Drath, both of Texas A & I, and Nina Drath of Warsaw, Poland. In April Nina Drath performed a series of lecture-concerts at CSU on the life and works of Chopin.

Steele was graduated from Durant High School and attended Tulsa University where her major was piano and music education.

She says her love of the ivories stems from early childhood.

"My mother is a piano teacher, and she started me when I was three years old," she said. "I performed in my first contest at age four, and I've always enjoyed playing the piano. There was a

time in junior high when I rebelled. That lasted for about a week, and that was it. I got right back to it after that," she mused.

In 1969, Steele began teaching part-time at CSU, and after two years began teaching full time.

She says she was a widow for 10 years, but was remarried in 1982.

One of her two daughters, Jana, was graduated from CSU in 1981 and now teaches at Northeastern University in Talequah. Her other daughter, Kara, is a junior at Northeastern.

Steele says that in "one way or another" she has been influenced by every artist she has ever heard, but one that she truly admires is the late Arthur Rubenstein, and Chopin, she says, is definitely at the top of the list of her favorite composers. As for the type of music she prefers, Steele does not hesitate.

"I love our radio station (KCSC) and that's all I listen to. I don't know there's anything but classical," she said.

'Role Models' needed for 'Big Brothers Sisters' group

By Paula Miller Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Greater Oklahoma City has a constant need for volunteers, says Darlene Kidd, executive director of the organization.

Big Brothers and Big Sisters currently has over 160 children, mostly boys, in need of an older friend willing to spend three to five hours a week with them.

These children are aged six to 17 and are from single-parent families.

Mrs. Kidd explained that volunteers must be 18 years or older, of good moral character and willing to make at least a year's commitment to the program.

"The program costs nothing;

that is not the point of it at all," said Mrs. Kidd. She said the big brothers, or big sisters are more like role models for everyday life experiences such as changing the oil in the car or shopping for groceries.

The volunteers should be willing to listen to the children, help provide guidance in their lives and develop a one-to-one friendship with the children.

To become a big brother or big sister, interested persons should contact Mrs. Kidd at 943-8075.

She will give the time and date of an information meeting. At this meeting, applications will be provided.

The organization will then call the applicant for an interview .

find it easier to file a complaint with small claims court, pay the fee, wait for two to six weeks for the case to come before a judge and then listen, possibly for the first time, to the other side of the story," said Central State University student Kathy Williamson.

Williamson is director of the Oklahoma County Dispute Mediation Service which offers citizens an opportunity to meet and work out their conflicts outside of court.

"Mediation requires the people involved in a dispute to actually TALK to each other," said Williamson.

The two disputing parties meet on neutral ground along with a non-partial, non-decision making third party who makes sure eveyone listens, hears and understands what is being said.

Then the people involved come to their own agreement.

"A compromise, a win-win situation, is something that the courts are not set up to handle," said Williamson. "A judge must make a decision which leaves one person a winner and one a loser."

With the mediation program there are no attorneys, no judgements and no fees.

Over 4,000 calls have been

received by the service since its beginning in 1981. Although anyone may use the service, most of these cases were referred by the police department, district attorney's office, Legal Aid of Western Oklahoma or other agencies.

Williamson said 169 of these disputes were resolved through phone calls to both parties. She added that some people, after calling for information, still preferred to go through the court system.

Of the 41 mediations actually held, there is an 80 070-90 07o success rate.

"Mediation works because of two very basic principles," said Williamson. "One, the solution to almost every problem is communication and two, there are two sides to every story."

The Oklahoma County Dispute Mediation Service was initiated by Williamson when, as a VISTA volunteer, she was assigned to Neighborhood Services Organization in Oklahoma City.

Upon completion of her volunteer service in 1982, Williamson accepted the position of director of the project.

The mediation service is sponsored by Neighborhood Services Organization and the Metro Alliance for Safer Cities.

one aisease s owe by early detection

By Lisa Luter Osteoporosis is a common condition in which bones become thin and brittle, usually from a deficit of calcium in a person's system.

Osteoporosis literally means "porous bones."

According to Dr. Rick Beller, Edmond orthopedic surgeon, bones are in a constant state of change. Small amounts of bones are broken down and absorbed while new bone is being formed.

Osteoporosis occurs when the new formation of bone doesn't keep pace with the body's absorption of old bone tissue.

This weakening of the bones leaves them prone to fracture.

One of every four American women, or approximately 20 million, suffer from osteoporosis said Peg Gillock, osteoporosis clinician at Baptist Medical Center. Although osteoporosis can occur in men, it most often appears in post-menopausal women.

Gillock said the key to avoiding osteoporosis is prevention. The three most common preventative measures are: calcium supplementation, hormone replacement therapy, and exercise.

The recommended dietary allowance of calcium is 800 milligrams per day, and for postmenopausal women the

amount is increased to 1,000 to 1,500 milligrams per day. Dr. Beller encourages women to try and consume the necessary calcium through a well-balanced diet high in calcium rich foods such as milk and cheese.

However, if a woman isn't able to ingest the needed calcium through her diet, a calcium supplement is suggested.

Along with calcium supplementation, hormone therapy plays a major role in prevention and treatment. After menopause, when a woman's body quits producing the hormone estrogen, her body pulls calcium from the bones to meet its needs.

Gillock said research has shown that women who are particularly susceptible to osteoporosis have one or more of the following characteristics: thin bodies with a light frame; mother, grandmother or sister with osteoporosis; early menopause; low intake of dietary calcium; lack of regular exercise; or a heavy smoking habit.

Although there is no known cure, early detection of the disease with treatment can slow it down remarkably, said Gillock.

If a woman has several of the above susceptibility characteristics, she should consider calling Baptist Medical Center, 949-BONE for testing.

Step three: A hearing before a University Appeal Committee.

"If either the student or the instructor considers the results of Step two unacceptable, he/she shall have seven class days in which to submit to the Vice President for Academic Affairs a written request for a hearing before a University Appeal Committee."

The appeal of an assigned grade "Ultimately, only the instructor has the authority to change a grade. However, both instructor and student are urged to give careful consideration fo accepting the advice of an appeal committee. Furthermore, the reports and recommendations of all hearing committees shall become part of the instructor's department and college level personnel files."

"Any graded assignment or test (including both testing instrument and answer sheet) retained by the instructor or returned to the student must be made available upon request.

Step one: Direct discussion with the instructor.

"The student must get in touch with the instructor who assigned the grade under appeal and attempt to resolve the matter informally.

"The original contact with the instructor must be made within the first four class weeks of the next semester in which the student is enrolled after that in which the grade was assigned but in no case later than one calendar year after the grade was assigned."

Step two: A hearing before the

"If the student is dissatisfied after having completed step one, the student has four class weeks in which to submit a signed petition of appeal to the Dean of the college. The petition must identify the student and section and then state the issue in question and justify the student's position. Pertinent documentation must be attached and specific remedy sought.

"If the grade under appeal was assigned the semester the student graduated, this step shall begin at the start of the summer term. If the instructor who assigned the grade has left the University before the start of the appeal, the department chairperson shall represent the instructor in the appeal process.

"The College Grade Appeal Committee shall evaluate the petition, allow both parties to present their positions and evidence, then present its conclusions and recommendations to the Dean and both parties to the appeal. After reviewing the proceedings of the hearing, the Dean shall make written recommendations to the student and to the instructor. The instructor shall take any action he/she deems correct and submit a report within seven class days to the Dean, whose responsibility it is to inform the student and all parties concerned of the result.

"If either the instructor or the student considers the results of Step two unacceptable, then he/she shall have seven class days from notification of the instructor's action in which to submit to the Vice President for Academic Affairs a signed request for a hearing before a University Appeal Committee."
