8,925 vehicles issued tickets during spring

By Brad Cooley CSU students: Watch out!

Campus police issued 8,925 citations during the spring semester, compared to 7,727 for the same period in 1984, according to Campus Police Chief Bob Roberts.

In simple terms, this would mean 81 percent of the student population were ticketed, assuming everyone received only one ticket. However, one must take into consideration the fact that many students receive more than one citation.

Pointing out an advantage that CSU parkers have over other universities, Roberts said, "The only difference here at CSU is that we don't charge to register vehicles."

If a student is issued a citation for a parking violation, then that person is required to pay $3 for the infraction—if it is issued during the first nine weeks of a semester. Fines issued after the ninth week jump up to $5.

The student is placed on "financial hold" if the fine has not been paid 10 days after the infraction. The "financial hold" restricts the student from adding or dropping any classes, and also from releasing transcripts.

However, if a student feels he or she was issued a citation that was unjustified, then that individual can take the matter before the Traffic Appeals Committee.

The Committee is made up of five members—three committee members are students elected by the Student Senate and two are Faculty Senate members. The Traffic Appeals Committee meets the first Monday of every month at 2:30 p.m. in the Campus Police office. Roberts estimates approximately 20 students appeal their citations every month.

Roberts said he is fully aware of the parking situation on campus and estimates there are in excess of 12,000 vehicles on campus during the fall and spring semesters. He said, "there is ample parking," however he admited, "there is not convienient parking, there is a difference."

Central State rests on approximately 209 acres. A parcel that Chief Roberts said is a "compacted 209 acres."

However, on the more positive side, the campus police offer other services besides issuing citations. They assist disabled vehicles, and motorists who lock their keys inside their cars.

Speaking on behalf of all the officers Roberts said, "We will do everything in our power to make sure the car is back on the road."

As enrollment numbers continue to increase, so does the number of citations that are issued. Comparing the Spring 1984

semester to Spring 1985, there was 1,198 more vehicles ticketed by Campus Police.

There are a total of 15 officers in the campus department, five of which are student officers that work only during the fall and spring semesters and patrol on foot, Roberts said.

During the summer the department consists of 10 full-time officers who are well qualified, said Roberts, because they are required to attend the state police academy.

Roberts added that every officer has at least 60 hours of education. One officer has a Masters degree and three others are currently working on their Masters.

Dorm occupancy down

By Cheryl Stigler

Attendance of summer school is down, therefore affecting resident hall occupancy, according to Robert Fields, director of housing. The total number of students living on campus during the summer term is 165.

Fields said that this low number is offset though by new students arriving each week for workshops.

Students participating in workshops live in the dorms during their stay at Central State, bringing the number of students living in the resident halls each week to around 200. Graduate students are the ma-

jority of students living on campus, said Fields.

East and West Hall are chosen to house summer residents because they are air-conditioned, said Fields. Murdaugh Hall received air-conditioning last year and Thatcher Hall will have air-conditioning by Fall 1985.

East and West Halls visitation remains the same during the summer term as it was during fall and spring.

Visitation hours are as follows: Monday-Thursday 3 p.m.-11 p.m., Friday-Saturday 3 p.m.-1 a.m. and Sunday 1 p.m.-11 p.m.

Student drags coat to school To the editor: I agree wholeheartedly with the editorial written by Associate Editor Mark Beutler in the April 30 issue of The Vista concerning the climate in some of our buildings.

I too have most of my classes in the Communications Building and have found the extreme temperatures on both ends quite uncomfortable.

The classrooms are either too hot and stuffy or frigid cold.

I am sure the matter of temperature extremes is a complaint shared by the student body and faculty alike.

Although I can not speak for the faculty members, I dare to assume that they suffer more due to the fact they spend a larger part of their day in these buildings.

As it seems that none of the classrooms, at least that I have a class in, have windows that open, this problem cannot be solved easily.

And since it seems obvious that simply setting the thermostat at a reasonable level does no good, I would like to suggest the installation of windows that open in those classrooms that have none.

Not only does this seem to be a somewhat simple solution, but it also seems over the years the use of the windows could save energy and money.

The heating and cooling of these buildings to such extremes seems only to be a waist of money on energy bills that the school could put to much better use.

Let us not forget that the primary use of these buildings is for teaching and learning. As it stands they're so uncomfortable it's hard for anyone, student and faculty alike to "set the academic world on fire."

'GIMME BREW my LUNCH TICKET REALLY is YAK I DATED. T FORGOT AND LEFT IT IN MY OTHER JEANS!'

Oil and marriage: Do they mix?

By Marcie Everhart Spring is here, and love is in the air.

The divorce rate is leveling off not only locally, but nationally, as well.

Naturally, this leads to all kinds of speculation on everyone's part.

Editorial When the petroleum-based Oklahoma economy bottomed out two years ago, the number of divorces declined by 2000 as the economy tightened. In 1981, there were 9,752 divorces recorded in Oklahoma County, otherwise known as "little Las Vegas."

After the oil boom fizzled out, Penn Square Bank threw in the towel and the unemployment rate in Oklahoma creeped higher, the divorce rate was found to be 7,649 by 1984.

Some psychologists and attorneys are sure there is a correlation between the economy and the divorce rate.

When the going gets tough, people stick together.

This could be so, but more than likely, it is a combination of reasons. Some credit should be given to those 2000 couples who decided they could work it out and that it would be worth working out.

There has been a shift in values in the past few years. It is important to people now to stay together in a longterm marriage.

Maggie P. Hayes, associate professor of human development at the University of Oklahoma (and probably the highest-ranking expert to be found in Oklahoma), is doing research into the long-term marital relationship.

She says, "There is definitely renewed interest in how to make a marriage last. People are recognizing the stability and benefits a long-term marriage provides. There has been an increase in attention given to the topic by the media."

She also states that not as many people are getting married, or they are postponing marriage.

Dr. Don Bertoch, a clinical psychologist, says that he is seeing divorces for more solid reasons.

"There aren't many of those: 'Oh, I'm so bored' cases anymore," explains Bertoch.

"Valid" reasons would include the consequential increase in divorces related to substance abuse (usually alcohol or marijuana) and domestic violence.

Another Oklahoma City marriage and family therapist, Vicki Fritz, feels that people are better-educated and therefore are coming in for counseling

earlier when problems begin. She says a large number of people are also on their second marriage and recognize the problems early on.

Whatever the reasons and whatever the motivations, this decline in divorces could be seen as symbolic of a return to the fundamental way of life.

Oklahomans should be applauded for their maturity in solving their personal problems instead of taking the easy and lonely way out, for a change.

The way to a strong, stable society is a strong, stable home.

NEWS

U.S., East Bloc hold spy trade The United States Tuesday freed four East Europeans imprisoned on espionage charges in exchange for 25 Western agents who had been held prisoner in East Germany and Poland, State Department officials announced.

The exchange was described by one State Department official as "the biggest spy swap" in memory. It was carried out at 1 p.m. Berlin time on the Glienicke Bridge, which crosses the Havel River and Connects West Berlin and East Germany, the scene of famous East-West exchanges in the past.

Coma patient dies Karen Ann Quinlan, 31, the comatose woman whose parents sought to have her removed from a life-sustaining respirator so she could "die with dignity," died Tuesday night, according to authorities at the Morris View Nursing Home in Morristown, N.J. Quinlan, who was admitted to the nursing-home June 9, 1976, existed for years in a hopeless coma that sparked a nationwide controversy over her "right to die."

She became the focus of international attention Sept. 12 1975, when Joseph and Julia Quinlan, who adopted her as an infant, filed a petition in Superior Court seeking permission to terminate the medical treatment that sustained her life.

McAlester mayor survives recall McAlester mayor Bill Rayburn successfully retained his seat as mayor against opponent John Troussel in a special recall election Tuesday.

Rayburn, who defeated Troussel in April 1984, by a vote of 1,847 to 1,503, recieved 1,896 votes to Troussel's 1,693.

Retirement bill passes Senate The Senate passed a measure Tuesday giving retired teachers a major increase in benefits. The bill passed conference committee 41-1 and now goes to the House where it is expected to be approved.

The bill gives some 60,000 retired teachers, support personnel and higher education employees hikes in benefits ranging from 4 percent to 26 percent.

It increases the base salary on which benefits are calculated from $8,500 to $9,500 and allows teachers to count their highest three pay years for retirement purposes instead of the top five years.

It also allows teachers to retire anytime a combination of their age and years of service total 80.

Baptists re-elect fundamentalist Baptist fundamentalists scored another major victory Tuesday when Atlanta pastor Charles Stanley was reelected president of the Southern Baptist Convention.

But in an unprecedented move, immediately after election results were announced, Stanley approached the microphone, turned to his opponent, Dr. Wilfred Moore of Amarillo, and asked, "Dr. Moore, would you allow your name to be placed in nomination for first vice president?"

When Moore agreed, the two—whose campaigns were often bitterly fought—put their arms on each other's shoulders as the Rev. Raymond F. Allen, a pastor from Blacksburg, Va., made the nomination official.

Messengers passed the nomination.

Two reporters sentenced to jail A Los Angeles judge in the John Belushi murder case found two reporters in contempt of court Tuesday and sentenced them to jail for refusing to testify about an interview with defendant Cathy Evelyn Smith.

"The issue of the murder can never be resolved" without the testimony of freelance writer Chris Van Ness and National Enquirer reporter Anthony Brenna, said Deputy District Attorney Michael Montagna.

Brenna was sentenced to 20 days in jail and fined $1,000.

Van Ness was ordered to spend 30 days in jail and pay a $1,000 fine.

Both sentences were stayed pending appeal to a higher court.

The Sigma Tau Gamma fraternity, after winning a lawsuit permitting them to move into this house at 91 1 Washington, continue to run into obstacles—like the "NO PARKING" sign that was erected by the City of Edmond.

Fraternity members said the sign appeared after they won the lawsuit and that they didn't request the sign be put up. This sign and another one directly across the street are the only ones on the block.

Problems continue to follow fraternity

By Charla Sossen Since the Sigma Tau Gamma fraternity members tried to move into their new home at 911 Washington, they have literally been plagued with one problem after another.

First, the local neighborhood association secured a court injuction preventing them from moving into the house.

A judge eventually ruled in favor of the fraternity, clearing the road for occupancy.

When allowed to move in, they found that their parking facilities did not comply with city ordinances. Because of this, they were forced to make plans to construct a larger parking lot, which in turn caused greater problems since they discovered half of their present driveway is owned by the State of Oklahoma.

Kevin Wolf, vice-president of

Sigma Tau Gamma, explained: "The city of Edmond has really given us a hard time."

To add to these problems, several items were stolen from their house, including their fraternity crest and flag. Their pet ferret, Jack, mysteriously dissappeared as well.

Barbara Hutchinson, 1001 Washinton, said most of the neighbors were concerned with the problem of noise, and of course the parking situation. She said that right now there is no noise problem, but expressed a concern as to whether this "good behavior" would last until fall, especially when Rush Week, and the parties that accompany it begin.

Both Wolf and Brett Weehunt, Sigma Tau Gamma president were quick to point out that there was

nothing for the neighbors to worry about. Weehunt explained With a grin, "We're just AllAmerican college boys."

Now things are beginning to calm down at the new Sigma Tau Gamma house, and the members are preparing for Summer and Fall Rush, as well as trying to get their house furnished.

They said they lack furniture due to the enormous size of the house. There are seven bedrooms and three bathrooms.

Mac Hoehner, social activities director, repeatedly stated, "We are accepting any and all furniture donations."

The Sigma Tau Gamma members said they are taking things in stride and looking ahead to the future. As far as any further neighborhood protests are concerned, only time will tell.

Canterbury scores hit

By Kelly Robison The 17th annual Canterbury Arts Festival came off "without a hitch" Saturday and Sunday as an estimated 160 artists from throughout the Southwest displayed their talents.

Held at Hafer Park, the Festival allowed artists to participate in competition and to try and sell some of their work.

St.Mary's Episcopal Church sponsored the festival, and hourly entertainment was provided for the multitude in attendance. Acts ranged from Lolly Lulu the Clown to a four member band known as Incyte, to Shakespeare in the Park. Adding to the The Canterbury Arts Festival

attracted hundreds of art watchers from throughout the Southwest.

CSU Associate Professor of Art, Dean Hyde, participated in the festival. He presented 75 new works that he described as wildlife, "owls in every mood."

"The festival is an excellent opportunity for the people of Edmond to start their own collection of original art," Hyde said.

"It also gives people a chance to talk with the artists and gain appreciation for art," he added.

Oils, acrylics, water color, graphics, pottery and sculpture were the categories for the festival, and first, second and third place prizes were awarded in each.

Student 'confident' i n career choice

By Mark K. Beutler Associate Editor These days many women are returning to college. Some are • housewives, tired of the afternoon soaps and looking to broaden their horizons. Others may be taking a course for a hobby or special interest, while some are looking for an escape from the kids for an hour or two.

But CSU junior Gerri Eakins, 35, has a clear-cut reason for her return to college life—a degree. A divorcee, Eakins has not chosen the once-stereotyped role of a secretary or bank teller. Instead, she has chosen the funeral service profession.

"When I went home last weekend for a family reunion, I found out that I had a great-uncle who was a funeral director. I think I must have heard something about it when I was young, and it has been in my subconscious all these years," she said.

Home for Eakins is Illinois. She was graduated from Pontiac High School in 1968, and from there entered junior college in Dickson in 1969. In 1970, she joined the Air Force, and today is still active in the Air National Guard.

Eakins entered CSU in 1979, and was recently elected secretary of a funeral service fraternity,

Although taking care of the family is important, that is definitely not the only part of a funeral, says Eakins. The cold, dark "Dr. Frankenstein-type" laboratory is a complete myth, she says.

"People think the preparation room is cold and dark and dreary, but it's not like that at all," she explains.

"There are special instruments for the procedure, and it's called an 'operation,' so it's very

medical and sterile and clean. It's not just 'blood and guts' as some people might think. The body is washed twice, and it's not all that gruesome."

Eakins says she used to work in a nursing home, and therefore wants to be certain the body is thoroughly clean.

"Those people (in the nursing home) just don't get bathed that often, so I'm going to give them the best bath on their way out that

they've ever had," she said.

Eakins plans to be graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree, and says then she will work in a funeral home. She hopes to someday go into a partnership with someone in her own business.

Whether she stays in Oklahoma, she has not yet decided.

As for the funeral service profession, Eakins is confident in her career choice.

"I love it," she said.

"It's not just 'blood and guts' as some people might think...it's not all that gruesome." Gerri Eakins.

A warm and caring individual, Eakins remembers when she first chose funeral service as her major.

"Oh, gosh," she says with a wry grin. "The interest was always there. At first, I was going to be a nurse. But one day I was in chemistry class and I met three guys who were in funeral service. I had always thought about it (funeral service), so when I met them I was right over there talking about this, saying 'what do I need, what are the requirements?'

It just hit me right then," she said.

Although she didn't know it at the time she chose her major, Eakins says only recently did she discover that an ancestor was a mortician.

Sigma Phi Sigma. She also works in the office of Veteran's Affairs on campus, and is a member of a coed softball team.

A funeral director, according to Eakins, must be able to deal with family members after the loss of a loved one.

"There's a funeral home in the town where I grew up, and it took care of my grandfather and my aunt and some of my uncles. I remember this lady and her husband ran the funeral home, and I would watch how she took care of the family and tried to make everyone comfortable. I admired that woman, and when I was home over the weekend, I went to see her to tell her that she was an influence on my life," Eakins said.

Agent '007"true to form' in latest James Bond film

By Paula Miller All the vital ingredients are there—undercover submarines, missle shooting helicoptors, beautiful women, a villian, a villianess, breath taking chase scenes, and of course, a British intelligence officer. It could only be one thing—the latest adventure of agent James Bond.

Review "A View To A Kill" stars Roger Moore as Ian Fleming's 007. The film is true to form.

Bond is assigned to stop the villian Max Zorin, (played by Christopher Walken), from destroying much of the west coast in a greedy quest for money and power.

Quite naturally, Bond befriends a beautiful heiress, Stacey Sutton, (former "Charlie's Angel" Tanya Roberts). She is down on her luck, as a result of Zorin's bad doing. The two become comrades in adventure, narrowly escaping the deadly Zorin.

Roger Moore, starring as Agent 007 of the British Secret Service, prepares to pursue the murderer of a French detective in the new James Bond adventure, 'A View To A Kill.'

'Selection Room' of the

The most interesting character, setting this James Bond adventure apart from the rest, is that of Grace Jones, as the evil May Day, Zorin's accomplice. Jones is extremely convincing as she parachutes off buildings, overpowers men twice her size, and

single handedly leads many to their death.

The film is directed by John Glen, who made his debut as a motion picture director in another James Bond flick "For Your Eyes Only." Glen had previously worked as editor and "action" unit director on three Bond films.

Albert R. Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson co-produced "A View To A Kill." The screenplay was written by Richard Maibaum and Michael G. Wilson. Duran Duran performed the title song, which was composed and conducted by John Barry..

The Bond films began with "Doctor No" in 1962, and MetroGoldwyn-Mayer has estimated that the total number of theatrical admissions to the James Bond film series now exceeds one-third of the world's population.

"A View To A Kill" is Roger Moore's seventh portrayal of author Ian Fleming's famed British Secret Service Agent.

Moore made his debut in the starring role of the bond adventures in "Live and Let Die" in 1973, and has since returned for "The Man With The Golden Gun," "The Spy Who Loved Me," "Moonraker," "For Your Eyes Only," and "Octopusy." Before being cast as James Bond, Moore was best known for his role in the series "The Saint".

In considering how he would portray the character, Moore

says, "I knew I would have to play the role without the hard edge Sean (Connery, the original Bond) had used, so I wanted to inject my humor into it. Thus, explaining the somewhat dry sense of humor found in the latest of the Bond movies," he said.

Moore lives with his wife, Luisa, in Gsaatd, Switzerland.

Has his starring role as the worldly sophisticated James Bond gone to his head? When asked why his 007 films have succeeded he says with a smile, "It's not my fault."

How is this possible?

Jefferson still adored today —Editor's note: The following article, was researched by Political Science professors William Dever and John George and written by Dr. Ray Tassin, chairman of the Department of Journalism.

For nearly two centuries a strong American political phenomenom has been the adoration of former President Thomas Jefferson (1801-09) by the entire political spectrum of the nation.

Liberals and conservatives, Democrats, independents and Republicans, all claim to be Jeffersonians.

How is this possible?

Political scientists believe this is because the genius of Jefferson had much to offer to the entire range of political thinking.

Jefferson's first inaugural address, March 4, 1801, shows more of his philosophy than any other document. In part, he said: "We are all Republicans—we are all Federalists. If there be any among us who would wish to dissolve this Union or to change its republican form, let them stand undisturbed as monuments of the safety with which error of opinion may be tolerated where reason is left free to combat it.

"But would the honest patriot, in the full tide of successful experiment abandon a government which has so far kept us free and firm, on the theoretic and visionary fear that this government, the world's best hope, may by possibility want energy to preserve itself?

"Sometimes it is said that man cannot be trusted with the government of himself. Can he, then, be trusted with the government of others? Or have we found angels in the forms of kings to govern him? Let history answer this question.

"Still one thing more, fellow citizens—a wise and frugal government which shall restrain men from injuring one another, which shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government, and this is necessary to close the circle of our felicities.

"Equal and exact justice to all men, of whatever state or persuasion, religious or political; peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations, entangling alliances with none...Freedom of religion; freedom of the press, and freedom of person under the protection of the habeas corpus, and trial by juries impartially selected. These principles form the bright constellation which has gone before us, and guided our steps through an age of revolution and reformation. The wisdom of our sages and the blood of our heroes have been devoted to their attainment. They should be the creed of our political faith, the text of civil instruction, the touchstone by which we try the services of those we trust; and should we wander from them in moments of error or alarm, let us hasten to retrace our steps and to regain the road which alone leads to peace, liberty and safety."

Journalists adore Jefferson because he remains the all-time champion of a free press.

"The basis of our government being the opinion of the people, the very first object should be to keep that right; and were it left to me to decide whether we should

have a governmnet without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter," Jefferson wrote in 1787.

Nearly 30 years later he wrote "If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be." He soon added: "Enlighten the people generally, and tyranny and oppressions of body and mind will vanish like evil spirits at the dawn of day."

On war, rebellion and national defense, Jefferson said: "We confide in our strength, without boasting of it; we respect that of others, without fearing it.

"Whensoever hostile agressions...require a resort to war, we must meet our duty and convince the world that we are just friends and brave enemies.

"I have the consolation to reflect that during the period of

with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident; that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; that to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed; that whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its

"Liberals and conservatives, Democrats, independents and Republicans, all claim to be Jeffersonians." my administration not a drop of the blood of a single fellow citizen was shed by the sword of war or of the law.

"I hold it, that a little rebellion, now and then, is a good thing, and as necessary in the political world as storms in the physical.

"What country before ever existed a century and a half without a rebellion?...The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure..."

The timelessness of Jefferson is shown by a statement that could apply today to the multi-national corporations.

"Merchants have no country.

The mere spot they stand on does not constitute so strong an attachment as that from which they draw their gains."

A champion of social justice, Jefferson said "Experience declares that man is the only animal which devours his own kind; for I can apply no milder term to the governments of Europe, and to the general prey of the rich on the poor."

The Missouri Compromise of 1820 designed to maintain a balance between slave and noslave states caused Jefferson to write: "This momentous question, like a firebell in the night awakened and filled me with terror. I considered it the knell of the union."

On education, Jefferson wrote: "I cannot live without books."

He also "was bold in the pursuit of knowledge, never fearing to follow truth and reason to whatever results they led and bearding every authority which stood in their way."

Some of Jefferson's earliest words of great impact came when he wrote the Declaration of Independence. In part, he said: "When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them

powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.

"We must therefore...hold them (the British) as we hold the rest of mankind, enemies in war, in peace friends.

"And for the support of this declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor."

Jefferson described the vice presidency as: "The second office of the government is honorable and easy, the first is but a splendid misery." But he also said "Offices are as acceptable here as elsewhere, and whenever a man has cast a longing eye on them, a rottenness begins in his conduct."

"The care of human life and happiness, and not their destruction, is the first and only legitimate object of good government," Jefferson said at the end of his presidency.

Four years later he wrote, "I agree with you (John Adams) that there is a natural aristocracy among men. The grounds of which are virtue and talents."

In a letter to Madison regarding Deficiencies of the Constitution, Jefferson said: "I like much the general idea of framing a government which should go on of itself peaceably, without needing continual recurrence to the state legislatures. I like the organization of the government into Legislative, Judiciary and Executive. I like the power given the Legislature to levy taxes; and for that reason solely approve of the greater house being chosen by the people directly.

For although I think a house chosen by them will be very illy qualified to legislate for the Union, for foreign nations, and so forth, yet this evil does not weigh against the good of preserving inviolate the fundamental principle that the people are not to be taxed but by representatives chosen immediately by themselves.

I am captivated by the corn-

promise of the opposite claims of the great and little states, of the latter to equal, and the former to proportional influence. I am much pleased too with the substitution of the method of voting by persons, instead of that voting by states; and I like the negative given to the Executive conjointly with a third of either house; though I should have liked it better had the Judiciary been associated for that purpose, or invested with a similar and separate power.

I own I am not a friend to a very energetic government. It is always oppressive. The late rebellion in Massachusetts has given more alarm than I think it should have done. Calculate that one rebellion in 13 states in the course of 11 years is but one for each state in a century and a half.

No country should be so long mrithout one. Nor will any degree of power in the hands of government prevent insurrections..."

Jefferson often was accused of being an athiest, but recognized as a champion of religious freedom.

However, he clearly believed in God, as shown when he said: "I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just."

Also showing this are the statements: "Those who labor in the earth are the chosen people of God, if ever he had a chosen people, who breasts he has made his peculiar deposit for substantial and genuine virtue."

"I have sworn upon the altar of God, eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man."

"The God who gave up life, gave us liberty at the same time."

Jefferson's dedication to self rule is shown also in a letter of 1820 when he said: "I know no safe depository of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves; and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion."

"The republican is the only form of government which is not eternally at open or secret war with the rights of mankind."

"We are not to expect to be translated from despotism in liberty in a featherbed."

"And even should the cloud of barbarism and despotism again obscure the science and libraries of Europe, this country remains to preserve and restore light and liberty to them. In short, the flames kindled on the fourth of July, 1776, have spread over too much of the globe to be extinguished by the feeble engines of despotism; on the contrary, they will consume these engines and all who work them."

Shortly before his death he said: "Men by their constitutions are naturally divided into two parties: (1) Those who fear and distrust the people, and wish to draw all powers from them into the hands of the higher classes. (2) Those who identify themselves with the people, have confidence in them, cherish and consider them as the most honest and safe, although not the most wise depository of the public interests. In every country these two parties exist; and in every one where they are free to think, speak, and write they will declare themselves."

CSU shut out at NAIA meet Bronchos frustrated

by dismal showing

Central State University's Carrie Tucker clears the hurdle in third place in last season's indoor track meet at the Myriad in Oklahoma City. Tucker was winning the heptathlon event at the NAIA national outdoor championships last month when an injury forced her to withdraw from the competition.

Both the Bronchos and Lady Bronchos failed to place anyone at the national meet after winning the District 9 track title.

VISTA

SPORTS

By Ed Godfrey Associate Editor Central State University head track coach Paul Parent would just as soon forget this year's NAIA national outdoor track championships.

Parent and the Bronchos entered the national meet with high hopes.

After CSU's strong showing in the indoor meet and breaking eight school records in the outdoor season, the Bronchos were eyeing a top 20 finish in the national meet last month.

Instead, Parent and the Broncho thinclads wrote a new chapter to Murphy's law as CSU failed to score a single point. And that has been a bitter pill for the Bronchos to swallow.

"It leaves a bad taste in your mouth," said Parent about the club's performance. "Maybe by July I will feel like a human being again."

CSU was looking to score points in the field events, the middle distance races and the 400 meter and 1,600 meter relays. But the Bronchos were shut out in each event.

"We got some sevenths, eighths and ninths, but they only place one through six," said Parent. "It's just frustrating. We didn't run what we are capable of."

The Bronchos' 1,600-meter and 400-meter relay squads both placed seventh in the meet. Gilbert Hornbeak finished ninth in the both the hammer throw and shot put and 10th in the discus throw. Joe Scott placed ninth in the 800-meter run, Keith Singleton placed ninth in the 400-meter dash and John Begay finished 11th in the 10,000-meter run.

"Gilbert should have placed in all three events," said Parent. "But he messed up in the hammer throw and he blew up for the rest of the meet. It happens. It's like a golfer who makes a bad shot and then can't recover.

"Our half-miler (Scott) gets nipped at the tape and doesn't qualify for the finals. In the mile (1,600-meter) relay, we are in second place after the second-handoff, in third place after the third hand-off and then in the last 100 yards of the race they just flooded us.

"We don't have anybody to blame but ourselves. The national meet just wasn't our bowl of soup this year. But one meet doesn't make a year. Looking back, we won the district meet and broke eight school records and tied one. It was a pretty successful year."

,. lniury costs tninclaa national title

By Ed Godfrey Associate Editor There were a lot of disappointments for Central State University head track coach Paul Parent at this year's NAIA national outdoor track championships, but the biggest one came when an injury cost Lady Broncho trackster Carrie Tucker a national championship.

Tucker competed in the heptathlon at the national meet and the Fairfax native was leading the rest of the field by an almost unsurpassable 150 points after the first day's competition (four events).

the long jump, the javelin throw and the 800-meter run.

Tucker seemed to have the title locked up after the first day, especially considering the long jump and the javelin were two of her best events along with the hurdles which she had already won. Her point total after one day put her in a position to set a national record with a good outing on the final day.

On the first day of the heptathalon, Tucker had won the 110-meter hurdles, finished second in the 200-meter dash, placed third in the shot put and placed fifth in the high jump. Scheduled for the final day of competion was

But disaster struck the next day.

Tucker pulled a hamstring in warm-ups before the first event, the long jump, and the Lady Broncho senior had to withdraw from the competition.

"The way it looked, she was going to win by 300 or 400 points," said Parent. "It was just one of those freak injuries. She popped her hamstring doing some stretching exercises."

Parent said he advised the former CSU basketball star to

withdraw then from the event, but that she attempted to long jump anyway.

"I told her to cut down her strides but she took a full run at it and I guess then it just tore completely in too," he said. "It's a shame. I've not had too many athletes that was as dedicated as she was."

Tucker will not get a second chance at the national championship as she was a senior and graduated with a degree in physical education in May. Tucker was a two-time NAIA AllAmerican in track and is the career assist leader for the Lady Broncho basketball team along with being fourth on the all-time scoring list and fifth on the career rebounding chart at CSU. During her high school and college track career, Tucker garnered All-American honors five times.

As a senior at Fairfax High

School, she won the Class B state 100-yard hurdles championship and was the Jim Thorpe Award winner.

At Northern Oklahoma State Junior College, Tucker was second in the 110-meter hurdles at the national junior college meet and she also ran a leg on Northern's 1,600-meter relay team that finished second. In one year of competiton at Northern, she was a two-time Juco AllAmerican.

Tucker won her first NAIA AllAmerican honor last year when she finished sixth in the 100-meter hurdles in the NAIA National Outdoor meet. She finished fourth in the 60-meter hurdles at this year's indoor championships to gain NAIA All-American honors for the second time.

Tucker was the Outstanding Women's Performer two years in a row at the District Nine Meet, but because of the pulled hamstr-

ing the crown she wanted to win most, a national championship, eluded her.

"The could-be's, would-be's and should-be's are nice to talk about but I just wish she hadn't gotten hurt," said Parent. "She had worked so hard to get there and did everything and more that I had asked."

Parent predicted that Tucker would have finished in the top three in both the long jump and javelin throw and as high as fifth in the 800-meter run if not for the injury.

"She took it hard," he said.

"The pain from the injury was not as severe as the pain she felt from having to withdraw from the competition. I know it hurt me.

"The girl who won it (heptathlon) told the press that she wouldn't have had a chance had not Carrie got hurt. They knew who the best athlete was."
