Business students to kick-off drive to build courtyard By Julie Eskridge Students in the Central State University College of Business Administration have kicked off a fund raising drive to finance the "Courtyard Project." The courtyard will be constructed in the area south and west of the Business Building Complex, according to Joe Kinzer, dean of college of business administration. The courtyard will be made-up of two patios with sidewalks running between and around them. Benches will be placed on the patios and the entire area will be surrounded by trees, flowers and a retaining wall. "It will become an area where students can come and visit, read a book or just enjoy the outside," said Kinzer.
campus to raise money for the project. Three thousand bricks will be sold for $7 apiece, $5 of which will go toward the courtyard project. The remaining $2 will go to the club who is selling the bricks. "It is a fund raiser for not only the students of Business Administration, but for other clubs and organizations as well," said Kinzer. Clubs who have already volunteered to sell bricks are the Accounting Club, Phi Beta Lambda, Management Club, Marketing Club and the Young Republicans. In addition to selling bricks, each person who makes a donation will have his or her name engraved on a large plaque which will hang in the foyer of the College of Business Building.

The idea for the courtyard project came from the University of Virgina. The campus has an area
By Curtis Killman Editor Midterms are almost over. The weekend will follow, padded this time with Monday and Tuesday free of schoolwork — compliments of fall break. This all means many students will be packing their bags, raking the dirty clothes out of the bottom of their closets and heading for home. A reunion of sorts. Aubrey Wayne Green, a junior physical education major, will be having a reunion too, with his car. Green and his car parted ways one month ago in the early hours of Sept. 21. He had parked his car in the south side parking lot next to the West Hall dormitory (D-4). He said he figured that parking lot was the safest because of the many streetlights that illuminate the area. Green, a Hugo native, then went to his East Hall dormitory room to sleep. The time — 2 a.m.
With plans to go shopping with his girlfriend highlighting the agenda, Green awoke and left his room around noon. It was then he discovered that his 1978 Oldsmobile Cutlass had been on someone's shopping list. While Green slept, his car was allegedly stolen by two Oklahoma City men — one 19, the other 21 — from the CSU campus. Before it was recovered by police, the car was driven over 300 miles to Paris, Texas. It was there, police say, the car was pulled over by a Paris policeman on a traffic stop. The policeman was later found shot to death in his car. After allegedly shooting the policeman, Green said the suspects abandoned his car, who were later arrested after a manhunt ensued. Except for a damaged steering column, glove compartment and tire, Green said his car came out of the ordeal in pretty good shape. "I got lucky," said Green.
TTINII ?AUK LANDSCA DESIGNS

have a little space that would really be something special," said Kinzer. Tammy Murphy, owner of a landscaping and designs company, designed the courtyard and
construction will be furnished by Central State. The Business Administration hopes to have all funds raised and construction started by the first of December. The project should be finished by the spring semester.
I am, in college, and I don't have a phone in my room and that's a long distance phone call. I ended up paying the $105, but I told them I'd be back to see if I can get my money reimbursed."
"I have those velour seats and the stuff they use to detect (fingerprints) is a black sooty stuff. It's all over my paint. They had it for two weeks and they left the dust on it."
After getting his car out of storage, Green discovered that it had sustained more damage.
Lesson learned, one precaution Green said he'll be investing in when he does get his car back on the road will be a burglar alarm.

But, his troubles weren't over. True, his car was recovered, but the police kept his car for two weeks before releasing the car to Green. When Green eventually was allowed to take his car home there was a $105 price tag to pay for the storage fee. Green said he called the police station asking why he should have to pay the storage fee. "The guy told me, 'Well, the chief is out, he's gone for the weekend,' Green recalled. "He said, 'get back with us.' But. here
"I don't really know who messed it up the most," said Green, "the agents that were checking the car for evidence, or the guys that stole it.
Asked how he has been getting around for the past month, Green doesn't say a word, he just looks down at his feet and wiggles them.
Regents to discuss impact of new 'open records' law The revised Oklahoma "open records law" that will take effect Nov. 1, will be discussed at the Board of Regents of Oklahoma Colleges' meeting 9 a.m., Friday in Weatherford according to the agenda. "We want to get from our executive secretary and from our board of regents their interpretation as to exactly what does the law mean," said CSU President Dr. Bill Lillard. "There are some shady areas that we don't understand." As an example, Lillard said he wasn't sure if notes he might use to give a speech to a rotary club would become part of public record. "My understanding (of the law) is, as an employee of the state, you're to retain all official documents and correspondence that relate to your performance as a State employee," said Lillard. "For example," Lillard continued, "if I write a memo to a vice president and say 'why don't we have lunch together today' — is that an official document?"
Lillard said that if all 355 faculty members are included in the interpretation of the bill, the record keeping would be very costly. In other business, an executive session will be held to discuss "personel matters with President Bill Lillard," according to the agenda. Lillard said the regents ask to meet at least once a year with the six regional university presidents in executive session. "It's something we've done on a regular basis the past several years," Lillard said. "It (the scheduled executive session) probably would relate to personnel, it could relate to programs, the personnel in the programs and all of that," said Lillard. "I look forward to it. "It's an opportunity for me to have additional communication and do additional informing of the board of regents concerning Central State University."
