Faculty members protest dean pick By Curtis Killman Editor A recommendation by Dr. Bill Lillard, CSU president, for a new dean of Liberal Arts Friday has turned an applicant screening committee into a screaming committee, hollering about the president's selection. The president's choices, submitted in the form of an addendum to the Board of Regents of Oklahoma Colleges, asked that Dr. Clif' Warren, chairman of the creative studies department, be appointed dean of the college of Liberal Arts. A screening committee, comprised of faculty and ad-
ministrators, had recommended that acting dean Dr. Frank Wert be appointed. The Board of Regents of Oklahoma Colleges passed a measure Friday, without discussion, to table the two recommended dean appointments. The addendum also asked the regents to approve the choice of English professor Dr. Paul Lehman, as dean of the graduate college. Regent John R. deSteiguer, who made the motion to table the addendum, said that the regents needed more time to study the request. The motion was seconded and approved unanimously.
"There had been a protracted selection of deans and it seemed rather short that all of a sudden just before the meeting we had another one submitted," said deSteiguer. "So, I thought that we needed more time. I received mine (copy of the addendum) on Tuesday and yet the selection process had taken several months," deSteiguer continued. Lillard said he sent the addendum to the regents three days before the Friday meeting. The next scheduled meeting of the regents is July 19. Members of the Liberal Arts
College screening and advisory committee voiced disapproval over the president's choice. The screening committee voted to rank three candidates with Wert "overwhelmingly first," said Herman Fullgraf, the committee's chairman. Wert has been serving as the acting dean of liberal arts since the death of Dr. Frank Finney. Fullgraf said Warren's name was not on the list the screening committee gave to Dr. James Perry, vice-president of academic affairs. Lillard though, said that the three names he received from
Perry did list Warren's name, but he did not know if the list he received was the same as the one submitted to Perry by the committee. "I didn't work directly with the committee, I worked with the vice president," said Lillard. "I asked him to submit to me the list of those who had been interviewed." Lillard said he received from Perry on June 12 a list he requested in alphabetical order, without any ranking, of each candidate that was interviewed for the Liberal Arts dean. The list of candidates interviewSee Faculty protests page 3
NATO spokesman warns of Russian naval buildup Tim Ray Countries in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization depend on the sea for their survival, but the buildup of the Soviet naval arsenal is posing a serious threat to all NATO countries. So said Geoffrey T.J.O. Dalton, vice-admiral of the Royal Navy and Deputy Supreme Allied Commander of the NATO Atlantic fleet, who spoke in the Liberal Arts Auditorium Monday, June 24. Dalton was on campus as part of Central State University's Colloquium of Statesmen and Scholars, sponsored jointly by CSU President Dr. Bill Lillard; Dr. James G. Caster, director of the Bureau of Governmental Services, and Leroy Crozier, chairman, political science department. "Of particular interest is the Soviet's rapidly growing submarine fleet," said Dalton. "The Soviet sub fleet contains a variety of conventional and nuclear subs capable of carrying out a variety of missions. All carry torpedoes and some carry cruise missiles with nuclear warheads. "The Soviet military now carries a greater capability than it needs to defend their homeland," said Dalton, indicating that this is seen as a direct threat to the NATO countries. "One of our biggest concerns is
the trends we have been experiencing. The NATO navies are forces to be reckoned with, but we are concerned because of the trends over the past 20 years" during which time the Soviets have matched the NATO forces in number of ships, said Dalton. He said NATO's response to the Soviets' threat has been to increase naval forces, citing that 90 percent of all reinforcement for Europe would be by sea; implementing contingency and wartime plans; performing exercises, which help to train forces and to test and validate war plans; modernizing equipment whenever possible, and standardizing weapons and procedures to provide for greater interoperability between the NATO forces. "I see no diminishing in the importance of naval forces," he said. "You must have a whole array of forces to counter the threat you see against them". As an officer in the Royal Navy, Dalton said that Great Britain learned some important lessons in its war over the Falkland Islands that have been put to use by the NATO forces. "Probably the major lesson we learned was that we need airborne early warning to give sufficient warning to deploy fighters to break up an impending attack.

We have since modified some of our helicopters to provide that early warning. We also learned how effectively ships in trade could be converted to support ships," he said. NATO was begun on April 4, 1949, with the signing of the North Atlantic Treaty. Since then, France has withdrawn militarily from the organization, and Greece is considering withdrawing altogether. Despite these problems, Dalton said NATO should stay strong and may actually increase in membership in the future. "If Greece pulls out of NATO, that's a political problem. However, NATO has been together for 36 years and so far no one has pulled out completely. I don't think NATO is currently seeking any additional members. It's more a matter of other nations deciding to join," he said.

July 4th celebration to be held in Edmond By Mark Beutler Associate Editor Break out the flag and fill up the picnic basket—it's almost the Fourth of July.
said, "but there will be events all day in Hafer Park. They will have free watermelon, speeches, and music in the afternoon," Potter said.
Edmond's thirteenth annual July Fourth Festival will begin next Thursday morning with events ranging from a parade to a fireworks display at CSU's Wantland Stadium. Edmond Chamber of Commerce spokesperson, Sonya Potter, said the festivities will get underway at 10 a.m. July fourth with a parade boasting about 170 units. "The parade Thursday morning will get things going," she
Preparations for the Independence Day celebration have been going on for quite a while, says parade co-chairman Jerry James. "We plan a year to a year and a half in advance for the parade, but the other activities don't take quite as long to plan, only about six to eight months," he said. "The majority of the arrangements and 90 percent of the planning is finished by a month
and a half before the festival," James added. In addition to the parade, a carnival will be held on the fourth, fifth, and sixth, as well as a rodeo to be held at 8:30 p.m. the same days. The activities at Wantland Stadium, according to Potter, will begin at 7:55 p.m. with a skydiving exhibition from the Sooner Parachute Association. Following that event, music will be provided by the "Sweet Adelines" and "OK Corral." At 9:25 p.m. on the Fourth, there will be a presentation of colors and the national anthem, followed by a fireworks display at 9:40 p.m.

Opinion Page Legislators pull reins on horseracing By Cheryl K. Hicks "Let's Go to the Races" may have been the slogan for passing parimutual betting last year, but now that a majority has approved it, there is no place to .go. The proposal to build a pari-mutual racetrack on the land of the Oklahoma City Zoo was shot down by the Legislature. Editorial The Edward J. DeBartolo Corporation of Louisiana Downs, is the company that proposed to build a racetrack
on the Oklahoma City Zoo property. The Daily Oklahoman stated that a license will not be given to investors whose purpose includes any agreement for land finacing or operation with a public trust. However, this bill also stated that a track on South MacArthur has been invested in by three Oklahoma City businessmen and is on school land. Although voters decided if there should be pari-mutual betting, the Legislature seems to do everything it can to prohibit it in Oklahoma City. Since Oklahoma's economy has been hurt by the drastic downfall of the oil
business, the Legislature should realize the benefit of incoming revenue that racetracks will provide. This racetrack would entice the people of Oklahoma City to take a vacation right in their own city, instead of feeding tourism revenue into other states. It might also invite people from other nearby states to vacation in Oklahoma, resulting in extra revenue for the state.. Also, many businesses and firms in other cities and states may decide to make their move to Oklahoma City in order to cash in along with the racetracks and the state. This racetrack would produce extra
revenue which will help the citizens the government and the business people of Oklahoma. Since the Legislature has passed new taxes, Oklahoma is obviously in need of additional funds. The proposal of a racetrack on the property of the Oklahoma City Zoo is one clear revenue source which the Legislature should investigate more thoroughly. Editor's note: Governor George Nigh vetoed the Legislative bill that would have prohibited the building of a pari-mutual racetrack on land owned by a public trust. —
Summertime: Doa and suds days To the editor: I read with interest Mr. Killman's piece in the June 20 edition of The Vista, concerning the lack of opinions the opinion page has enjoyed during this particular summer session. I certainly can understand Mr. Killman's position, so I sat down to my trusty typewriter to compose an opinion for the opinion page. However, I encountered a few problems in doing so... I discovered that I couldn't think of an opinion. Now, this fairly perplexed me; I consider myself as a
reasonably opinionated person, so a lack of an opinion was rather disconcerting. Furthermore, there also seemed to be a lack of a reason for this lack of an opinion. I considered several possibilities of my own for my lack of an opinion, found no solutions, and instead turned back to Mr. Killman's article for help. He suggested that I could perhaps be occupied with my yardwork, my suntan, or my summer-school schedule. As hard as I tried, none of these seem-
ed to work either. As for my yardwork, I mow my lawn infrequently. (The City of Edmond has already threatened me" with a fine once this summer for "improperly maintaining my property.") Suntan? What suntan? And, as for summer school... well, some things are better left unsaid. By now, I had exhausted all my resources, and was still left with no opinions, and no reasons to explain my peculiar lack of opinions. The philosopher in me seemed to say that there was some deep unconscious sum-
mertime feeling responsible for this turn of events, while the pragmatist in me simply said that I was lazy in the summer. Of course, I was still left frustrated by the entire affair. Totally drained by now, I decided to abandon my typewriter, and headed out to have a cold beer. Strangely enough, though, I had no opinion as to what brand of beer to have, as long as it was cold. Oh, well... it seems that some things never change. Kent Anderson
Neighbor addresses fiat dispute To the editor: The Vista's story, June 13,: "Problems Continue to Follow Fraternity," enumerates some of the problems Sigma Tau Gamma fraternity has faced since moving into the house at 911 North Washington. I should like to point out, however, that most of the situations to which the fraternity members refer existed well before the

move. For example: It is illegal to park within 125 feet of the corner where a street intersects with a thoroughfare. Hence the NO PARKING signs at the two corners. The point at which Washington feeds into University is also the only access for the 31 families who live on this portion of the Washington Street to get to and from our homes because this portion of Washington is a cul-desac. To park on Washington Street within 125 feet of the corners presents traffic hazards as well as serious problems in the event an emergency vehicle must respond to a call in the neighborhood. In short, that portion of the street must be free of parked cars for the safety and welfare of everyone who lives in the neighborhood. The parking lot problems were also present well before the fraternity made plans to move into the house at 911 Washington. A number of homeowners near the house at 911 talked with the City of Edmond departments of Planning, Engineering, and Code Enforcement in January, 1985, to determine whether the fraternity had been apprised of their responsibility to provide parking. We were told by all departments that Sig Tau members had talked with them about occupancy of 911 and that they had been informed that before they could move in they must submit a plan for a parking lot and have that plan approved by the City Engineer and City Planner. At the time we talked with the City,
the homeowners reminded each of the departments that a great deal of the land south of the house at 911 belongs to the State of Oklahoma. We felt the young men should know that before they completed renovation of the house and made plans to move in, because we knew it would be difficult for them to fulfill the responsibility of building necessary parking. We asked the City to inform the Sig Taus of the problems .they might encounter. However, in mid- to late January, Sigma Tau Gamma members had not returned to the City offices and had filed no plans with the City of Edmond for the provision of parking. However, they had held meetings and parties at 911, even though they could not provide adequate parking for the 30-plus additional cars that were present for their fraternity functions. We as residents of the neighborhood felt we had no alternative but to file a request for a restraining order. The neighborhood has an additional concern regarding the building of a parking lot at 911. We have had considerable numbers of problems with flooding. As a result of considerable hard work, effort, and expense, our flooding problems have been greatly alleviated. We consider it an imperative that any kind of construction in this immediate vicinity be in conformity with the City of Edmond drainage ordinances, however, in order to reduce any further threat of flooding. For the record, I should like to tell your readers that the words which were attributed to me in the June 13 story
regarding "good behavior" were not mine. Ms. Sossen commented when she interviewed me that she wondered whether the "good behavior" (of the Sig Taus presently occupying the house at 911) would continue once Rush parties began. I can only say that the fraternity members now living at 911 have been models of good citizenship, and the residents of the neighborhood acknowledge and appreciate that. Our only demands are that the fraternity fulfill their responsibilities of complying with City Codes and with the neighborhood standards for health, welfare, and safety.

World, state and local NEWS Fireworks explosion kills 21 At least 21 people were killed Tuesday morning in a series of explosions that leveled a fireworks plant near Hallett. Bodies were hurled into the surrounding brush by the force of the explosions, which were so powerful they rattled windows in the Cleveland fire depatment, 13 miles away. At least five survivors of the accident, the second to hit the Aerlex Corporation fireworks plant in six years, were taken to surrounding hospitals. Rescue workers with heavy equipment dug through brush in search of workers still missing from the plant's force of about 31 people. Four of the bodies were found on a hill about 200 yards form the demolished plant, according to Lieut. Jim King of the Oklahoma Highway Patrol.
Lawmakers OK pay increase The Oklahoma Legislature overwhelmingly approved salary increases Tuesday for public employees, the first general pay hike approximately 35,000 state workers have seen in three years. Under the proposal sent to the governor, most workers will receive an 8-percent pay hike for the first $30,000 in salary and 6 percent for any pay above that amount. Judicial salaries, however, will be increased by 15 percent across the board. Enough money to give higher-education employees an average 8-percent pay increase also was included in the bill. Lawmakers left it up to the individual colleges to decide how to dMde up those funds.
Racetrack bill rewritten Oklahoma house and Senate leaders agreed to a cornpromise racetrack bill Tuesday after the first one was vetoed by Gov. George Nigh. The bill Nigh vetoed originally was intended to crack down on trainers who drug horses, but a clause was added that would have prohibited public trusts from participating in racetracks. Nigh said that decision should be left up to the Oklahoma Racing Commission. The new bill allows immediate action to be taken against anyone who dopes a race horse, prohibits trust financing of racetracks, specifies that tracks on public trust property will pay ad valorem taxes and states that improvements on public trust land will revert back to the trust at the termination of the lease.
Reagan considers blockade The White House, stepping up its efforts to free 40 Americans held hostage in Beirut, warned Tuesday of economic and military reprisals unless the captives were released in the "next few days." The warning, which appeared aimed mainly at the Lebanese authorities, was issued after Reagan Administration officials backed away from a plan considered earlier in the day to impose immediate sanctions against Lebanon. The sanctions might include steps to close the Beirut airport and imposing an economic blockade. Larry Speakes, the White House spokesman, said President Reagan had delayed action to give continuing diplomatic efforts a chance to "bear fruit."
I.B.M. to buy stake in MCI International Business Machines Corporation said Tuesday that it is buying up the remainder of outstanding stock in the Satellite Business Systems telecommunications company that it does not own to trade for an 18 percent share of MCI Communications Corporations. The move is I.B.M.'s strongest direct challenge yet to the American Telephone and Telegraph Company. Financial analysts said it would greatly accelerate the computer giant's efforts to establish a communications network to link computers around the world.
University copy shop opens By Paula Miller Central State now has a University Copy Center available on campus. Located in Room 114 of The University Center, it is open from 8 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. on Monday, and from 8 a.m. to 5 a.m. Tuesday through Friday. It opened June 5. Arthur Robinson, manager of the copy center, said the copy center does multi-copying, enlarging, reducing, collating, stapling, resumes, word processing, and other services. For letter size copying, the price is five cents a copy, for up to 100 copies. The price goes down as more copies are purchased. Word processing is $1.25 per page for basic typing, letter size. Enlargements are fifteen cents each, and transparencies are seventy-five cents. Robinson said the copy center has been doing some printing for the CSU Book Store, and has also been used by many students already this summer. He said for students taking alot of hours, it is very convenient, since you can bring your paper in, and they can usually have it typed up in two to three days.

Campus police revise ticket policy By Brad Cooley As of June 1st, the campus police department has been forwarding all moving violations issued on campus directly to the Oklahoma County district traffic court, or the City of Edmond. In the past, all moving violations were handled by the campus police office and the Traffic Appeals Committee. In the past, when an individual received a moving violation citation and thought it was un-
justified, the person appealed the citation before the Traffic Appeals Committee made up of members of the Student and Faculty Senates. CSU Police Chief Bob Roberts said the new system is more fair because an individual appealing a citation would now appear before a judge in the Oklahoma County traffic court that has more knowledge and experience in traffic law.
Campus Police Officer Ed Forbes says the new system is giving the individual due process all the way up the line. Both Oklahoma University and Oklahoma State University have already been using the system. Since the campus police have jurisdiction on the city streets surrounding the campus, any moving violation citations written by CSU police will be forwarded to the city of Edmond traffic court.

ed contained three names: Warren, Wert and Dr. Robert Barnes, from the University of Southern California, said Lillard. Fullgraf said the screening committee never interviewed Warren for the position. He said the list he submitted to Perry contained Wert's name along with two outof-state applicants. Warren confirmed that he was not interviewed by the screening committee. He said that he was interviewed by Perry and two other administrators — Dr. Albert Lynd and Dr. Clyde Jacob — over breakfast in the Red Bud Room restaurant at the University Center. Perry is on vacation and could not be reached for comment. Fullgraf said a petition is being passed among faculty members
"to call attention to the vast amount of support that Dr. Wert had in the College of Liberal Arts...and for the process that the school chose to screen candidates." "If committees are not taken seriously by the administration, and they for some reason don't seem to be, than committees sometimes seem futile," said Fullgraf, adding that the result produced "a natural feeling of being let down...of being frustrated." Lillard, in an interview Wednesday, stressed the purpose of the screening committee's process. "The charge that Dr. Perry made to the committee says 'the committee is to serve in a screening and advisory capacity to the vice-president of academic af-
fairs,"' said Lillard. "Again it doesn't say selection." Lillard said it was the president's job to recommend candidates to the regents and not the duty of the screening committee. He added that he will stand by his requests, hopeful that the regents will approve them. "I think both gentleman (Lehman and Warren) are both well qualified for the position and certainly their professional and academic records speak for themselves," said Lillard.

Vietnam vet reflects on his past life By Brad Cooley He's been shot at, spit at, had bricks and rocks thrown at him, he's been abused both mentally and physically and yet he survived. His name is Bob Stephensen, a Vietnam veteran, who is majoring in industrial education with an emphasis in drafting here at CSU. Stepliensen, a Blackwell native attended Northern Oklahoma Junior College for one year before joining the Army in 1962. After serving on active duty in the Army Airborne Division for three years he joined the reserves for three more years. After getting out in 1968 he worked for the U.S. government as an electronic technician until 1972 when he went active in the Air Force from 1972 to 1976. Asked why he joined the Army at the beginning of a war he replied, "I don't know...I guess I was gung ho at the time." Stephensen, who avoids talk about his actual combat experiences, said one of his most difficult times in the military was at the march on Washington, D.C. during Martin Luther King's famous "I had a dream speech". "I actually stood guard on the steps of the White House," said Stephensen, adding that he was outfitted in "full battle-gear with ammunition, with bayonet on the end of our rifle, and with orders under certain situations to shoot to kill. "If a certain order was given we were to take any necessary steps to accomplish our goals...it was a pretty trying situation." On Vietnam, Stephensen said the war presented a few unique situations. "Combat in Vietnam was a completely different story," said Stephensen, "you didn't know who your enemy was...you didn't know who your friend was...you didn't know if the man sitting next to you is an enemy or a friend. "When you see a 4 or 5-yearold child walk into a club or beer joint and pull his shirt up and pull a pin on a grenade...that...is a different situation." "When you see someone that is so programmed," Stephensen said, his eyes watering and voice quivering, "that their own personal life means nothing to them
Looks toward future as drafting instructor
...t have just gotten to the point that I don't wake up in the middle of the night...I don't freak out...I don't wonder if I'm gonna go weird some night and grab a gun and shoot somebody..." — Stephenson when their prime goal is to meet an objective...that's pretty hard for an American to understand. "We are not programmed that way. You cannot program a 17 or 18-year-old like you can a 4 or 5-year-old." Stephensen said he believes the Vietnam War could have been avoided completely "had it not been for President Truman...in the sense that Truman stopped MacArthur (Gen. Douglas MacArthur) at the 38th parallel." "We were never meant to win it (the Vietnam War) because of economic and political reasons. If the situation had not been handled as it was the Vietnam War would have lasted at the most a month." Stephensen believes the only Vietnam veterans acknowledged by the American public "are the dead ones." He also insists that veterans that served in other countries during the war are not receiving the recognition that they deserve. "They (the American public) shouldn't only acknowledge the vet that spent time in Vietnam," he said, "they should acknowledge the vet that spent time here in the states, or in Germany or wherever they were stationed in respect to their defense situation."
Asked if he had life to do over again, he replies: "If I had it to do over again I would have never gotten out. At the time I got out in '65 they offered me a chance to go to OCS (Officers Candidate School)...and I would have gone on to Officers Candidate School and became an officer and stayed in." As to the long-term effects of the war, he is optimistic. "In my situation I have just gotten to the point that I don't wake up in the middle of the night...I don't freak out...I don't wonder if I'm gonna go weird some night and grab a gun and shoot somebody or do things that Vietnam vets were labeled as doing. "I like the military...I don't necessarily go along with all the rules and regulations that the military all have, but they do have their benefits." "For a short period when I got out of the military I didn't want to be around people," said Stephensen. "I was living in Colorado for awhile and I went up and lived alone in the mountains...and I had a backpack and a groundsheet and I would spread my groundsheet out and lay down and look at the stars and didn't want nobody around me."
According to Stephensen he feels the veteran image was distorted during the 1960s. "I did a lot of hitchhiking and a lot of times there were attempts made to abuse me...I received physical damage once or twice...but it wasn't always one sided", he says, grinning. "I don't like to be in crowded situations...sitting at this table I'm kind of uncomfortable because my back (is vulnerable). When I go to class I have a problem because I have to go to the back of a classroom...I like to have my back to the wall...If I don't sit near the back then I sit next to the door. I want a way out. I want my back to the wall...that's programming. I guess it's a survival instinct." Whenever Stephensen comes up from behind someone he warns them first, because of past situations when he accidentally scared or shocked someone into a defensive position. "I am sure my appearance intimidates some people...I don't mean for it to intimidate anybody. I can't help my appearance. I don't know if my baldness is a genetic thing or what...I wear my hair cut very close, except for my facial hair." Stephensen said he once had a
psychologist tell him the reason he wears such a full grown beard is to keep people away from him. "You can count my friends on one hand," he said. "I have a lot of acquaintances, but a friend is a stronger label than what a lot of people put on it." Asked if he felt that any current movies portray Vietnam as it really was, he mentions Sylvester Stallone's "First Blood," adding that it was very realistic as to what training an individual can expect to receive in the military. "There are a lot of things that he did in that movie that the average everyday soldier is taught to do. They teach you how to kill, then they put you on the street. I can really relate to that movie because it's realistic." Stephensen has been all around the world and has had many different jobs. He has been a paratrooper, a hospital lab technician, a ski instructor in Colorado, a linesman, served in the Signal Corps, an oilfield roustabout and a forklift driver. "I don't want to sound egotistical...but I'm a damned good forklift driver!" "I've had a lot of situations in my life that have been to me ...traumatic. My parents were divorced when I was young, but not everything that has happened to me has been bad. I had a lot of good things happen to me — I'm very happily married to a very special lady," Stephensen says. His wife Marella is a teacher in the Midwest/Del City school district and she's working on her Masters in speech pathology here at CSU. They have a 4-year-old daughter named Kelley. Stephensen, along with his family lives in southern Oklahoma City. Stephensen also has two daughters from a previous marriage — a 15-yearold and an 18-year-old daughter who is a quadraplegic due to a boating accident. He has not seen either of them for over 10 years. Stephensen says he just met his real father last summer whom he has not seen since his early teens. As to his future, Stephensen says he would eventually like to teach drafting at a junior college or a small type of college, hopefully at Northern Oklahoma Junior College where he first started his college education.
Peace Corps gears up for 25th anniversary By Marilyn Parris When the U.S. Peace Corps begins celebrating its 25th Anniversary in October, there will be hundreds of Oklahomans sharing the joy. "Over 730 Oklahomans have served as Peace Corps volunteers in most of the 88 Third World countries Peace Corps has been in," stated Matt Wunder, regional Peace Corps recruiter in Dallas. According to Jim Mayer, chairman of the Peace Corps 25th Anniversary Celebration Committee in Washington, D.C., many of these returned Peace Corps volunteers will be helping with the anniversary celebration activities aimed at informing all Americans of the needs in underdeveloped nations.
Over 730 Oklahomans have served The year-long celebration will begin where Peace Corps began — on the campus of the University of Michigan where presidential candidate John F. Kennedy received an enthusiastic response when he proposed the idea to a group of 10,000 students in 1960. Since that day, nearly 85,000 Peace Corps volunteers have served in almost 90 Third World countries. According to Mayer, a series of informative symposiums are planned for approximately 25 cities around the nation. The theme of these symposiums will be "The
U.S. Stake in the Developing World." "Speakers from Third World countries will speak on the needs of their countries," said Mayer. "A former director of U.S. Peace Corps will discuss what Peace Corps is doing to address those problems and then a local speaker will explain what Americans can do from their own local communities to help." Other activities for the anniversary celebration include a 10 part radio series describing the history of Peace Corps and its future goals. There will also be a series of articles called "The Development
Forum" distributed to college newspapers. The Peace Corps 25th Anniversary Celebration will culminate on Sept. 26, 1986 — exactly 25 years from the day the first Peace Corps volunteers left America for their host countries. "At that time," said Mayer, "we will begin celebrating the next 25 years." According to Matt Wunder, a regional Peace Corps recruiter in Dallas, 5000 U.S. Peace Corps volunteers are currently serving in Third World countries. "Thirty-three of those volunteers are from Oklahoma,"
says Wunder. "Oklahomans are in countries from the Philippines to Niger." Wunder said the Peace Corps is always in need of new volunteers. "We are looking for any kind of teachers — math, science, English, deaf education or practically any area you can think of. "We are looking for volunteers of all ages with experience or knowledge of fisheries, appropriate technology, building, you name it," says Wunder. "The first step to becoming a Peace Corps volunteer is to fill out the application," says Wunder. "If accepted, it will usually take a few months to complete the process." The toll free number for information on the U.S Peace Corps is 1-800-527-9216.

'Major' Christian artists to appear at MetroChurch 'Freedom' festival By Charla Sossen In celebration of Independence Day July 4, Metrochurch in Edmond will present "Freedom Celebration '85." The day-long outdoor program will consist of concerts performed by several major Christian artists. Scheduled to appear are Sandi Patti, Dg_Garmo & Key, Farrell & Farrell, Larnelle Harris and Jeoff Benward. Other attractions adding to the festivities will be a fireworks display, concessions of all kinds, and, according to "Celebration" directors, "much, much more." In addition, Dr. Richard Hogue, the MetroChoir, MetroVoices, MetroSingers and the MetroBand will appear. MetroChurch is located at Interstate 35 and the Edmond exit. Large outdoor concerts in association with Independence Day have become a tradition at Metrochurch. However, only in the last few years has it emerged into the major event that it is now. Last year, approximately 10,000 people attended "Freedom Celebration '84." This year the total is expected to reach 15,000. Among the people expected to attend are United States Senator Don Nichols and Edmond Mayor Carl Reherman. The Nation's birthday is not the only reason for the celebration at Metrochurch. The "Freedom Celebration" is also used to raise money for people in need.
Metrochurch is in the process of building the Metrocenter for Family Ministries. It will house unwed mothers, child abuse and incest victims, and runaways. An adoption agency will be included in the center. Once built, the center will be located on the Metrochurch grounds, but will be slightly secluded. Although the center itself does not yet exist, its work has already began. Many church members have furnished homes to unwed mothers, and Metrochurch has placed children in homes. Last year, 30 children were saved that might have otherwise been aborted. All of this was made possible through the funds raised at "Freedom Celebration '84." In offerings alone, approximately 40,000 dollars was raised in 1984, excluding ticket sales. However, in a production of this size, much of the money raised must go to cover the tremendous expenses incurred. "Freedom Celebration '85" Promotional Director, Jeff Reddick, says that an event of this magnitude requires months of preparation, and that the entertainers who are scheduled to appear this year are, in his opinion, "the best we've ever had." According to Reddick, this years performers are considered to be some of the "hottest" names in Christian music. If they are any indication of whay "Freedom Celebration '85" will be like, "Freedom Celebration '86" will have a tough act to follow.
CSU students to attend Shakespearean gala By Melissa Mercer Four Central State students have been selected to participate in this year's Oklahoma Shakespearean Festival to be held July 5-21 on the Southeastern Oklahoma State University campus in Durant. CSU performers include William L. Salyers, Nathan Carpenter, Darrett Sanders, and Nathan Thomas. These with 73 other performers will remain on the SOSU campus for six weeks of concentrated work. Their efforts will produce a full ensemble repertory theatre which will feature Shakespearean plays "The Tempest" and "The Merchant of Venice;" a contemporary musical, "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat;" a comedy, "Greater Tuna;" and the children's production of "Yankee Doodle," a patriotic musical. Salyers, a junior at Central State, has been selected to play the roles of Trinculo in "The Tempest" and Thurston Wheelis in "Greater Tuna." In CSU productions, Salyers played the roles of Norman in "The Dresser" and The King in "The Cave Dwellers." He has also played Dr. Herder in "The Ruling Class" at Carpenter Square and Gandalf/Gollum in "The Hobbit" in the Mummers Children's Theatre. Performing in "The Merchant of Venice," Nathan Carpenter has been selected to play the role of Salero. He has played Roy in "Lone Star," Charlie Brown in "You're a Good Man Charlie Brown," Mr. Lonther in "The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie," Noah in "The Rainmaker" and Carl in the CSU season performance of "Bus Stop."
Darrett Sanders, a sophomore at CSU, will be contributing to the Festival as an Assistant Stage Manager for "The Tempest," "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" and "Yankee Doodle." During his senior year in high school at Putnam City West, Sanders received awards for the best actor and the most outstanding drama student. Nathan Thomas graduated in May with a Bachelor of Arts in theatre. He will play the roles of
Gonzalo in "The Tempest," Leonardo in "The Merchant of Venice" and Jacob in "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat." Thomas plans to attend graduate school at the University of Iowa. In addition to acting, Thomas will direct the Renaissance Faire with Salyers as Assistant Director. The Festival is currently in its sixth season. The Oklahoma Arts Council and Oklahoma Lake Country organization in coopera-
tion with the Oklahoma Tourism and Recreation Department and a number of individuals and corporations, contribute to the success of the Festival through their financial support. Tickets are available in a variety of packages as well as for individual performances. For information, call the OSF office at the Southeastern State University phone number (405) 924-0121, extensions 216 or 217.

Picnic fun sponsored by KCSC By Susan E. Clare Public Radio KCSC-FM 90.1 is gearing up for its second annual "Prarie Home Companion" picnic. Last year KCSC hosted a picnic to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the highly popular Minnesota Public Radio program. According to KCSC officials, the picnic was such a tremendous success that it has been made an annual summer event. This year's picnic will be held from 5-9 p.m. July 6 on the new picnic grounds inside the Oklahoma City Zoo. Admission to the zoo is $3.15 for adults and $1.60 for children ages three to 11. A discount on zoo admission will be given to picnickers sporting "Prarie Home Companion" T-shirts or holding KCSC Classicards. The evening's festivities will open with the regular broadcast of "Prarie Home Companion" and the serving of free food. The food is provided by R.J.'s Deli of Edmond, Bon Appetit Catering of Oklahoma City, and Glen's Hik'ry Inn, also of Oklahoma City.
Following the two-hour broadcast of Prarie Home Companion, there will be live entertainment, featuring bands from the Oklahoma City area. During the intermission between bands, the KCSC staff will be serving dessert, including watermelons provided by Wynn's IGA Stores and cake provided by Brown's Bakery. Also during the intermission, door prizes will be awarded. Among the prizes to be given away is a trip for two to St. Paul, Minnesota, to see "Prarie Home Companion" live. KCSC General Manager Mike Dunn commented on the picnic attendance: "We're expecting a large turnout, possibly as many as 2000 people, more than three times the attendance at last year's picnic." Dunn added that the general public is invited to attend this celebration for, what he considers to be, one of the most popular radio programs in the United States.
Listeners to KCSCFM 90.1 will want to take radios while watching the "rocket's red glare" this 4th of July. The Minnesota Orchestra will offer a festive treat in honor of Independence Day, including the traditional "1812 Overture" by Tchaikovsky. The program will air on KCSC at 8:45 p.m. July 4.
Miscellaneous... An "Open House" with buffet and refreshments will be sponsored by the Edmond Arts and Humanities Council and the Edmond Historical Trust. The open house will be from 5-7:30 p.m. Friday in the old Armory Building at 431 South Boulevard in Edmond.

Minimum GPA regulations to increase, director warns By Eva Galipeau Central State University's selective retention requirements, which define the minimum gradepoint average students must achieve each semester, will increase this summer, enrollment director Darrell Gilliland said. As of July 1, all students enrolled at CSU will be required to meet the new standards which define a minimum gradepoint to be achieved depending on the number of hours a student has attempted. After attempting 12-23 semester hours, a student must have achieved at least a 1.4 average; 24-36 hours, a 1.6 average; and 37-72 hours, a 1.8 average. After a student has attempted 73 hours or more, he should be carrying at least a 2.00 average to meet new requirements. The new standards represent a significant change from previous requirements which did not specify a minimum gradepoint until after 24 hours had been completed and did not require a 2.0 average until a student had attempted at least 108 hours. "With the new requirements, a student's progress or lack of progress can be monitored earlier in their program and appropriate options discussed," said Selective Retention Committee chairperson Peggy Foster. Students who fail to meet minimum gradepoint requirements will be put on academic probation for the next semester for which they enroll. At the end of the probationary semester, students who fail to make at least a 2.0 average or achieve the minimum cumulative average will be suspended for one 18-week semester. After readmission, a student who is suspended a second time will be permanently dismissed from the university. A dismissal may be appealed by making a written request to the Selective Retention Committee for a hearing. Specific procedures for appeal are listed in the CSU catalog along with the new selective retention requirements. "I strongly encourage all students to pick up a copy of the new catalog at the bookstore and familiarize themselves with the requirements of their degree," Foster said. "Students are less likely to run into difficulties in completing their degrees if they are aware of all academic requirements and regulations before enrolling," she added.
Home life #1 for Perry By Charla Sossen To understand Dr. James Perry, vice president of academic affairs, one must first understand that work does not come first in his life—personal happiness does. For Perry, the definition of personal happiness is a life centered around his wife, Bridgett, and his three children, Christopher, Amy and Jennifer. Perry joined Central State University in January, 1977, as an instructor of finance. On July 1st, 1977, he was appointed Dean of Business. It was on that day that he first met his present wife, Bridgett. Not too long after that, Perry needed a date for a dinner he was to attend. He called Bridgett. Through an unusual set of circumstances, their hosts did not show up at the restaurant for three hours. "It was one of the best times in my life—just being with her." Perry and Bridgett have been married for just over six years now. When asked about hobbies, Perry said, "The thing I like to do most of all is share time with my wife. We spend time together through gardening, working around the pool, playing tennis...and we go fishing." Perry also enjoys a good game of darts. In fact, until recently when his darts broke, he kept a dart board in his office. "I could make decisions by throwing the darts. But they were velcro, so my decisions never really stuck." In reference to the rest of his office decor, there is something missing—an accumulation of certificates. "Everyone knows you graduated from college. You might as well have something
pretty up instead of a bunch of certificates," he said. Perry mentioned that one of the problems associated with his job is the resistance he frequently encounters when he tries to set certain wheels in motion. "The thing that stops you," he said, "is that there are other people, who, for a variety of reasons, refuse to look at the facts. They seem to know all the reasons why it can't be done, when with a nickel's worth of energy, could find out all the reasons why it can be done." Perry explained that he is very respectful of tradition and process, but that they shouldn't be a substitute for action. "Even your most staunch opponent will respect you if they see action," he explained. Perry's attitude toward getting things done is obvious, but even more evident is his sensitivity toward people and problems, both at home and at the office.

Area cheerleaders learn sideline antics • Twenty-eight cheerleading squads from Oklahoma and one each from Texas and Arkansas convened on Central State University this week to take part in the "Dynamic Cheerleaders" clinic. Cheerleaders from the sixth grade to high school payed $71 per person plus room and board to attend the camp which ends today with competition between the squads. "Dynamic Cheerleaders" is based out of Kansas City, Mo., and has been in existence 12 years. The organization conducts 80 camps across the country during the summer to teach youngsters cheerleading skills. "We teach more than cheerleading," said Kenny Perry, an instructor from North Carolina State University. "It's more of a philosophy than a camp."
fr
Almost all of the instructors from Dynamic Cheerleaders are currently cheerleaders at universities across the country. The instructors range from the University of Hawaii, to Michigan, to Florida, to Oklahoma. The organization has a staff of 75 instructors divided into 12 squads. The cheerleading camp is the first of two to be held at CSU this summer. From July 9-12, CSU will host the Universal Cheerleading Association camp. The Universal camp is open to all high school, junior high and middle school cheerleaders. Special seminars are planned for the camp as well as in-depth instruction on new cheers, sideline chants, pom pons and tumbling. Participants will also receive private coaching each day. For further details on the Universal Cheerleaders Association camp call 1-800-238-0286. (Top left) Kenny Perry, cheerleader for North Carolina State University, directs a squad in some routines.

CSU signs area wrestlers After winning the NAIA wrestling championship last season it could be expected that Central State University would have a successful recruiting year. And from early indications, it appears the Bronchos did just that. CSU wrestling coach David James will welcome 16 new faces to the program next fall, including 11 high school recruits and five transfers from junior colleges and universities. The Bronchos signed three recruits and 118 pounds, including Tonkawa native Russell Martin, who will transfer from Garden City Junior College in
placer and recorded a 75-18 career mark in high school including 40 falls. Three wrestlers join the ranks at 158 pounds including Timmy Thompson from Okmulgee, Kent Dice from Blackwell and Paul Steeley, a Norman High School graduate and transfer from the University of Oklahoma. At 167 pounds, Edmond's Dwayne Orr, a two time state runner-up with a career record of 56-12, tops the list. CSU will also pick up Jerry Jewell from Norman, who is transferring from Carson-Newman, Tenn.
VISTA Kansas. Also joining the CSU squad at 118 pounds are Marlow's Kent Hall and Yukon all-stater Dane Meyer. In his high school career at Yukon Meyer was 80-1-1. The Bronchos didn't harm themselves at 126 pounds where they signed three impressive grapplers. Heading the list is Randy Hicks, a two-time state champion from El Reno. CSU signed another state champion in Sapulpa's Rodney O'Shields, whose career mark was 73-10. Completing the list at 126 pounds is Greg Handy, who compiled a 19-2 mark for Edmond High School last season. At 134 pounds, the Bronchos signed Ashley Fish from Sand Springs who had a 49-15 record for the Sandites. At 142 pounds, CSU must find a replacement for the Bronchos' only national champion Ricky Bollenbach. To fill that void CSU recruited Joe Lewallen from Tonkawa. Lewallen was a three time state-

CSU gets another Edmond grappler and another transfer from Carson-Newman at 190 pounds. Zack Tinkler, a two-time state placer, joins the Broncho roster along with John Jewell of Norman, who is also transferring from Carson-Newman with his brother. At heavyweight, Midwest City native Stoney Wright is transferring to CSU from Oklahoma State University. The new additions will give James a total of 43 on his roster next season including four grapplers from this year's Oklahoma All-State squad. Despite the highly-touted crop of recruits, they will probably have a tough time cracking the starting line-up. CSU returns six of seven All-Americans from last year's national championship squad, losing only Bollenbach. "As far as on paper, we look pretty strong," said James. "But that's on paper."

Instructor of the workshop, Dr. Carol Parker, associate professor of Health and Physical Education at CSU, said she tries to teach techniques to keep from using self defense. "Physical self defenses, if not used and practiced, can get an individual into more trouble," said Parker. "I try to teach students to think through situations before they happen. The best weapons we have are our brains and common sense." The 50 students attending the one week workshop were instructed in travel, home and personal safety.
