Drop deadline forces earlier decisions

By Curtis Killman Editor Despite protest from the president of the Student Senate, students will have until Friday to decide whether to they want to withdraw from a class and receive a "W" on their transcript. Previously a student could wait until the last day of the classes and still be able to withdraw.

The new drop deadline is a result of a faculty request for students to make an earlier commitment to completing a course. So, during the spring 1985 semester the Faculty Senate voted 18-4 in favor of changing the drop deadline. Dr. James Perry, vice president of academic affairs, accepted the recommendation, implemented and publicized the policy change.

"One of the primary reasons I'm opposed to it," said John Buttry, Student Association president, "is because it's placing all the burden on the student in that we have to withdraw by a certain date. Yet faculty members are not required to give us some sort of verification or any type test by that date so we can see how we're doing.

"I think that is grossly unfair."

Perry said he was indifferent to the policy change, adding that he just followed through with the faculty representative's request. In accessing the policy change though, Perry was positive.

"Every indication I have is that things are going smoothly," said Perry. "I have had limited feedback from students, that limited feedback has been an expression of thanks for the half-page ads that have appeared in the Vista announcing it.

"I think their (the faculty's) position was that students should

take responsibility for their enrollment and their progress toward a degree and any student who opted to drop a class at the last moment was in fact disallowing that responsibility.

Buttry, in an interview, drew from a personal experience to illustrate his reason for protest.

"I remember last semester I didn't even have two of my tests until the thirteenth week of school," said Buttry, who added that if he had been under the present system he would have had to make a decision to drop three weeks prior to receiving any grades in the class.

"I don't know if I'm going to try to change it back to the last day of classes," Buttry continued, "but I will push for either giving the student more time, like either the twelth or thirteenth week, or somehow require faculty members to give some sort of evaluation by the mid-semester."

"That issue might have been the most beneficial point that has come out of the entire change," said Perry in response to the prospect of student fears of not enough evaluation by the tenth week of a semester.

"The Faculty Senate, specifically President Beasley, has mentioned the fact that now that the drop date has been moved forward, the Faculty Senate must assume greater responsibility to do whatever it can do to assure the students are adequately evaluated prior to the drop date and that their evaluation is communicated back to them so that they have the proper base of information to make a decision to drop or stay in a course.

"I'm surprised anytime I hear of a situation where the professor is giving one exam to the students or has made little to no effort to communicate to the students their standing in the class.

Big-city birds: Eviction procedures fail to remove these CSU residents

By Curtis Killman Editor Hypothetical ad in paper — Pigeons, allyou want, free to good or (bad home). Contact the CSU maintenance department or home economics department for details.

The first thing noticed when walking into the home economics building on a wet and rainy day is the strange odor. The permeating smell can be traced to perhaps the oldest residents on campus — pigeons.

Pigeons, usually associated as a big city problem, have made it quite well in some buildings here on campus. But, the birds are about the only ones who are happy.

"When it rains a lot is when it bothers me the most," said Lenorah Polk, assistant professor home economics.

"Last week when we had that warm weather it got pretty bad," Polk added. "I have thought that this fall the odor was worse, but remember we've had a wetter than usual fall. That may have been

what contributed to the fact that I thought the odor was so bad."

"I've gone through the proper channels," said Dr. Virginia Lamb, chairperson home economics, "but I haven't gotten any results as of yet.

"I'm sure that there is some lice up there (on the roof). I do request periodically for the maintenace to clean out the debris from them. I'm certain that it isn't very healthy."

But, other than cleaning up after the birds, the maintenance department hasn't had much luck in getting rid of them.

Nimrod Chapel, director of the physical plant, said they have tried several ways to eradicate the pigeons — all to no avail.

"Rubber snakes (placed near the nests) will scare them away for about one season and then they will get adapted to them," said Chapel. "We'll try this ultra/sonic sound that someone made to sell. When I say they made it to sell I'm being little bit facecious,because it doesn't really work.

"We've tried screen wire to keep them away from where they've started nesting. It is a problem, it's kind of an on-going problem."

Chapel said they are limited when it comes to their available options to eradicating the pigeons. He said that they must be sure that the animals are removed by humane methods.

"You can really get into problems if there is any type of cruelty," said Chapel, "so it's something that you just have to keep fighting.

"About 10 years ago they were shooting them. I don't know who was shooting them, they were just getting shot."

Chapel said associations dedicated to the prevention of cruelty of animals spoke out against the shootings and the shootings stopped.

The spring and fall seasons are the worst time of year according to Chapel for pigeon infestation.

"If there are any more suggestions we'll take them," Chapel said laughing. "If anybody wants to take one home for a pet, or two or three, they are welcome to it."

But, neighbors (faculty and students) would like to see that change.

Political science author to speak Dr. Paul Boller, Jr. will speak 10:40 a.m., Friday in the Liberal Arts auditorium according to Dr. John George, political science professor.

Boller has published several books and articles on American politics, according to George. His

latest three books have been Presidential Anecdotes, A More Perfect Union and Presidential Campaigns. The latter two books may be purchased in the University Center Bookstore.

Boller tours frequently and was interviewed on the Today Show in

1981 and 1984 and is now working on a book on presidential wives for Oxford.

George, who is working on a book that will compile famous misquotes, said he may collaborate with Boller to co-author the book.

Opinion Page Dump child care proposal

By Chris Covert Many people should now be concerned about the political genealogy of the proposed day care center on campus. There is every indication that we may be entering a new era of concern for day care for the children of working parents, or there may be a more cynical reason for the day care center coming to light. .3 A few facts are needed. U.S. Sen. Don Nichols, perhaps the most conservative senator now serving, had attached his name to a bill which would provide for money for on-campus day care centers throughout the nation. Since the $50 million available from this bill is so paltry for a center in each of the states, the program is more a gesture than anything else. No one has questioned whether this is an actual shift in policy direction or whether Nichols just wants to get re-elected in 1986.

Day care advocates on campus have not said and dare not say. They just want their center.

It is important to point out that what is being proposed is class-oriented,

middle class welfare that neither fills a real economic or social need, nor will it even attempt to address serious dislocations in the economy of the state or the nation. It is extremely cynical of day care advocates on campus to look for money which will eventually strengthen the same extreme right-wing coalition that gutted social programs in 1981. To accept money for a program with the direction of strengthening the already affluent at the expense of the poor is both wrong and immoral.

It is an unconvincing argument for a middle class parent to say that oncampus (and state-subsidized) childcare is an economic need that will end a real hardship on income. The argument is valid for a lower income parent, but not for parents attending CSU preparing for managerial or professional positions in the economy.

President Dr. Lillard and the day care supporters would be well and morally advised to abandon this frivolous waste of money and to direct those funds toward areas of dire economic need.

everyone realized his disgust. I haven't seen such a rude display since the hippies used to walk out of things back in the '60s. But one expects college professors to act a little more maturely."

Frankly, the professor has a perfect right to be offended at anything he wishes to see as offensive. No doubt he tries to put his overcoat over nude marble statues in museums and paintings in art galleries — if he has ever been in either one, which is debatable.

Perhaps the university should have advertised the play as "adult comedy" or given it a rating such as the movies, maybe `R - Not suitable for young children or unsophisticated, provincial college professors.' Maybe for the easily offended we could have offered an expurgated version as we do Shakespeare for the highschool kids.

When this same play ran in New York City with well-known actors, there were no such complaints, but then, New York is a little more sophisticated.

If Professor Coker had limited his letter to the fact that he was offended by the play, I would not be writing this.

Certainly he has the right to be offended if he chooses and even voice that in The Vista. What upsets me is that he uses his moral outrage as an excuse to take a swipe at the writer-in-residence, the creative studies program and professors and administrators who his wife refers to as "smart damned fools."

Do I smell a little jealousy here? The writer-in-residence, John Bishop, seems to have had a much more prestigious career than the complaining professor. Bishop has written Broadway plays, television, movie scripts and has published short stories in such highly acclaimed literary magazines as the Kenyon Review. This 'liberal' is

still carrying shrapnel from Vietnam war wounds.

It was a great coup for CSU to get John Bishop as evidenced by the constant publicity since he arrived and the fact that his classes are not only filled, but eager students are being turned away. Is anyone begging and being turned away from Professor Coker's classes or interviewing him for the papers?

I wish I could believe the professor's irate letter was caused by pure moral outrage. But is there some more ulterior motive? We all know Dr. Bill Lillard is a strong supporter of Liberal Arts, its new dean, Dr. Clif' Warren, and Dr. Warren's pet project, creative studies with its writer-in-residence program. By attacking the writer-inresidence and his play with great moral outrage, is the professor actually taking a swing at his real target with his thinly veiled reference to "professors and administrators who are really not much more than smart damned fools?"

Would he really like to attack Dr. Lillard and Dr. Warren and can't quite get up the nerve so he attacks the play instead? I don't know the answer to that one, but is Professor Coker known on campus as a great friend and supporter of the above two men? The answer to that should tell us his motives.

Leave the choice to the students To the editor: This is in reference to a general concensus among students and the faculty at CSU regarding

the mandatory use of the library, being advocated by the Dean of Academic Affairs. This issue bears resemblance to the much controversial issue of legislating morality by whatever means available to the powers to be at the time.

Dr. Perry may feel that in order to justify the expense related to maintaining such a facility at Central State, he has to make an all out effort to convince the faculty and the others in the academic community that the students do not know what is good for them.

I firmly believe that everyone should not only know where such wealth of information is, but also know how to use it. Should the masses suffer just because a few elect to remain ignorant.

Why not let the competition in the marketplace weed those few out? After all, is this not truly the function of any unregulated market... THE SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST. Name withheld by request

More reaction to 'fashion' feature To the editor: The name, The Vista, says it all. According to the Funk & Wagnalls New Standard Dictionary, a vista is defined as being "a view or prospect as when the eye is directed along an avenue, .. . especially as shut in at the sides and reaching into a distance, a view through a series of openings, such as trees, . . . hence, the objects that enclose or compose the view." The "Campus Fashions" article printed in the Sept. 26 Vista issue was a good example of The Vista's vista of Central State University. The avenue along which The Vista's view is directed is blatantly caucasion, the only race featured in the aforementioned article.

The campus fashion view was "shut in at the sides . . .," excluding the many fashionable Oriental, Indian, and Black students who attend Central State University. The Vista provides a view through a series of openings, too often omitting essential components of a total picture or story. I suggest that ". . . the objects that enclose or compose the view," hence, the editor and staff of The Vista attempt to make The Vista a better representation of Central State University by making a collage of different vistas, rather than a collection of vistas limited to the caucasion viewpoint.

Agency faces funding cuts Up to $26 million made be cut in federal Medicaid funds going to Oklahoma institutions for the mentally retarded, according to state officials.

The state has been under the threat of a loss of Medicaid funds for more than a year because of deficiencies cited by the federal government in the state's mentally retarded program.

The Department of Human Services Director, Robert Fulton, said federal officials are applying new interpretations to compliance criteria.

In a letter to the regional administrator of the federal Department of Health and Human Services, Fulton disagreed with deficiency citations of a recent survey of state schools at Enid and Pauls Valley.

Fulton cited several areas where the state had made dramatic improvement in the care of the mentally retarded.

Fulton requested a meeting with federal officials to clarify issues before a new compliance plan is filed.

Michael Fogarty, director for medical services for the Department of Human Services, said he was stunned by the latest federal threat, which came in a letter dated Oct. 16.

He said it appears to indicate that the feds already have decided to retrieve federal money, and the surveyors come in and make up rules as they go to achieve that goal.

Fogarty said the action of federal officials "just pulls the rug out from under your efforts to improve the program."

Credit card usage urged cut The chairman of a House banking panel urged Americans to stop using their credit cards, in an attempt to force interest rates down.

Rep. Frank Annunzio, D-Ill., the chairman of the consumer affairs and coinage subcommittee of the House Banking, Finance and Urban Affairs Committee, advised consumers to either pocket their cards, cut them up or hold "credit card burning parties."

Opening a hearing on credit cards, Annunzio said interest rates, which average 18.62 percent, are too high.

He said that as long as consumers continue to use their credit cards and pay the record rates, the rates will not only stay high, but will go even higher.

Annunzio feels that if enough credit card holders take their cards out of circulation, or cut them up and mail them back to the issuer, credit card issuers would soon be vying to see who can cut their rates to the lowest, to attract customers.

He said that it would only take a few "credit card burning parties" to start the wheels turning in the boardrooms of the financial community to get the rates down.

Annunzio said he supports federal legislation to impose an interest rate ceiling on credit cards, but that Congress has not looked kindly on rate cutting legislation.

Historically it has gone the other way, by lifting rate ceilings, he said.

Annunzio said he has no personal credit cards, but his daughter does have a card.

Edmond youth dead An Edmond teen died early Tuesday as a result of massive head and chest injuries he received during a collision Oct. 12.

Thomas David Barton, 16, died about 4 a.m. Tuesday, Peggy Corbett, Mercy Health Center spokeswoman, said.

Edmond police said they will ask the district attorney to file a second-degree murder charge against Eric Juan Ford, 20, the driver of the other car.

The accident occured about 11 p.m. when the car Ford was driving went left of center and hit Barton's car near 15th Street and Boulevard, police said.

Ford, of Oklahoma City, was driving a car police believe was stolen from the parking lot of Sleepy Hollow restaurant, 1101 NE 50, said robbery detective Glen Clark.

Playwright enjoys football, teachin g

By Rebecca Marler Every Friday night John Bishop drives around town in his pick-up truck looking for brightly lit football stadiums.

"Each Friday night I go to a game," Bishop said. "People are pretty honest. You ask them if it will be a good game and if it's not, they'll tell you to go down the street where another school is playing."

This football fan is a New York playwright, the current artist-inresidence at Central State University.

As an off-Broadway writer, he writes for many different forms of media. Television, industrial scripts for companies like CocaCola and IBM, short stories, movie proposals and plays.

His first play, "The Trip Back Down," became a Broadway hit in 1977, Bishop said.

"I came to writing from a theatrical background, not a writing background," he said.

Bishop, who was once a director, now uses his theatrical training to teach play and novel writing classes at CSU. "I want my students to think and get into the emotion of what they're doing," he said.

Bishop's eyes glow and his face becomes animated when he talks about his recent teaching experiences at CSU. "I'm enjoying teaching. My students need an outlet for their creative life. It's a great thing to provide them the opportunity."

After receiving a call from Dr. air Warren, dean of the college of liberal arts, Bishop worked out an arrangement with Milan Stitt to come to Oklahoma City.

Colleague's recognize CSU professors' efforts Two Central State University professors received awards, in the month of October, for recognition in their work on and away from the CSU campus.

The Oklahoma County Conservation District, Oct. 3, presented the Governor's Conservation Award to Dr. Terry Harrison, chairman of the CSU biology department.

A plaque was presented to Harrison during the Oklahoma Conservation District luncheon.

Harrison was recognized for his diligent work in conserving the soil and water resources of Oklahoma.

For the past five years, Harrison has directed summer seminars at CSU for elementary and middle school teachers. The seminars emphasize outdoor activities and hands-on experience for students.

"I have two objectives in the seminars," Harrison said. "The first is to increase the teaching of science in elementary schools, and the second is to provide teachers with new ideas and activities and encourage the use of the outdoors as an extension for science teaching."

Stitt, a Circle Repertory Company playwright, will be teaching the writing classes when Bishop returns to New York City.

"I really came out here to find time to write," Bishop said. "It hasn't gotten very far, because I've gotten fascinated by the area.

My ancestors are from here. They were cattle brokers," he said.

When it comes to writing, Bishop feels the writer needs a good grasp of basic human psychology.

"With a healthy dose of curiosity, the writer can learn to explain why humans behave the way they do," he said. "Then their writing will become more true to life."

Dr. Terry Harrison

"Sometimes I look around and wonder what is the most dramatic thing that has happened in that apartment house. Or I wonder who I have talked to that my grandfather once spoke to."

Bishop, 45, is a member of the Circle Repertory Company of New York. The company is made up of a group of playwrights, dramatists and actors who experiment with new theatrical ideas and plays, Bishop said.

His advice to writers is to be wary of success.

"You learn by failure, not success," he said. "The worst thing that could happen is that you take yourself for granted. That's why second plays are sometimes so bad."

Bishop received his bachelor's degree in fine arts from the Carnegie Mellon University. His play "The Great-Great Grandson of Jedediah Kohler," was recently produced by the CSU drama department.

Halloween customs hold strange origins

By Christy Sanders Halloween has rolled around once again and countless children and adults will be pondering costumes, parties, and appointments at the dentist.

Halloween is a mysterious holiday. We celebrate our country's birthday on July 4. In November, we eat to remember the pilgrims. On Dec. 25, we honor the birth of Jesus Christ. So, why do we celebrate Halloween?

Halloween has traditionally been thought of as an end to summer.

October is also the time when ghosts, spirits, witches, and supernatural creatures are thought of as being the most powerful.

The loss of this additional power is signified by All Saints' Day on Nov. 1. Halloween then, is the eve of All Saints' Day and is also a celebration of the beginning of winter.

Halloween may be one of the funnest holidays because of its many customs.

The old custom of dressing up for Halloween originates from the time when children wore masks and went "souling" from door to door.

They would beg for food to give to the wandering spirits. If food was not given, pranks were then played on the greedy victims.

The jack-o-lantern is used to keep all the evil spirits away and to welcome the friendly ones. Whereas we customarily carve out a pumpkin, squashes and turnips served as the original jack-o-lanterns.

Apple bobbing is a popular activity done around Halloween. Apples are placed abundantly in a tub of water. Participants designate an apple with the name of a true love. The bobber then attempts to bite the apple. If successful on the first try, love will thrive. If two attempts are made, love will exist only briefly.

Another activity on Halloween is apple paring. Using a whole apple and a knife, each guest cuts a long, spiral ribbon of apple skin. Tradition states that if the skin is thrown over the left shoulder, it will resemble the initial of a true love when it lands.

85-year-old graduate student 'makes people smile'

By Melissa Mercer "Being too old too soon" is not a problem for Central State University graduate student Lucile Perkins.

At the age of 85, Perkins works out at a health spa three times a week, owns and operates a real estate firm and is actively pursuing a master's degree in business.

Perkins' ambition to take on higher education began four years ago in an effort to learn more about her business. Three years later, she was a graduate on the dean's honor roll at Langston University.

In addition to her bachelor's degree, Perkins was also awarded a citation from

the Oklahoma State Legislature in recognition of her achievement.

She is currently enrolled at CSU and expects to complete her master's degree next year.

"People get too old too soon," Perkins said. "You've got to keep working—it's retirement that makes you old. I know people who are 40-years-old and are ready to go sit and go to rockin'."

Following the completion of her master's degree, Perkins says she will go on to obtain a Ph.d. in gerontology, the study of aging and the problems with elderly people.

"The mind rules the body," she said.

"My mind is as sharp as it was 20 years ago. I go anywhere I want and I do anything I want."

Prior to her work in real estate, Perkins spent 27 years in state government. Her career peaked when Gov. Robert S. Kerr appointed her the supervisor of the state school lunch program for separate schools.

That appointment lent her the distinction of becoming the first black person with a professional office in the state capitol.

Perkins said her duties were weighty and added, "I was no puppet. I had a 'position' with the state."

The university's current library contains 3,000 volumes as compared to 700,000 in the CSU library.

Due to the high costs of texts, books may not leave the library.

There is no photo copying machine available. These factors force students to study within the library, Barstow said.

The monthly wage of $28 for the average Peruvian family makes it impossible for a student's family to buy books.

The university currently has a student enrollment of 14,000 with a faculty of 400. Plans are being made to expand the bachelor's programs to a master's.

Barstow, who speaks Spanish fluently, hopes to serve a teaching sabbatical in Peru sometime in 1986.

"It costs $1,350 for 500 pounds of books to be crated. We would be delighted at any monetary contributions to defray the cost of shipping," Barstow said.

Diseases that are considered in control in the United States are serious problems in Peru due to lack of pet control and sanitation.

Diseases like rabies, typhoid, dysentery, tuberculosis and hepatitis cause death in the Peruvian community.

"The school is dedicated to improving the quality of life in Peru.

Goals are for improving health care for the general population, helping mothers in pre- and postnatal care and in the area of general nutrition of the community."

"I want to encourage people to do things for themselves," she explained. People are stuck in nursing homes who don't need to be there. All some people think about is what they can get for free.

"I love people!", she continued, "I want to work with people. The greatest satisfaction is to see someone smile."

Hall to speak onDennie media ethics Hall, assistant professor

Professor starts book drive

By Rebecca Marler Central State University professor of nursing Don Barstow has started a book drive to help Santa Maria University school of nursing in Arquipa, Peru.

The university, desperately in need of books, asked Barstow if on his next visit he could bring a few textbooks for the school.

"I think they only expected a suitcase full," says Barstow, smiling.

Barstow says he would like donations of books in the areas of: anthropology, accounting, psychology, sociology, public health, medicine, dentistry, and nursing, especially obstetrics.

Due to the rapid advancement of technology, texts that are less than five years old would be greatly appreciated.

In 1964 she entered real estate and is currently a member of the State Board of Realtors.

Eventually, Perkins hopes to use her doctorate in gerontology to work with elderly people.

Don Barstow

of journalism at CSU, will be keynote speaker at an honors seminar on "Ethics and Today's Media" Nov. 23 at Connors College in Warner.

The seminar is part of a nationwide program by Phi Theta Kappa honor society. A topic is announced each year, and the society's chapters over the country plan seminars on that theme.

Hall has conducted two institutes at CSU on media ethics as well as two on the First Amendment. He is a member of the board of directors of the Oklahoma Chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists, Sigma Delta Chi, and was president of that organization in 1981-83.

ROTC 'dining' tradition continues

By Italia Carson Continuing a military "tradition of excellence," the ROTC department held its annual "Dining In" ceremony at 6:30 p.m.

Oct. 25 at Tinker Air Force Base.

In the U.S. Army, a "dining in" is a time provided during the officers' mess to promote companionship, to celebrate a special occasion or to honor fallen soldiers.

CSU ROTC cadets get a taste of the affair every fall semester in order to familiarize themselves with this military custom.

"It's a traditional army function," stated Captain Walter Wilson, Jr., assistant professor of Military Science for the ROTC department.

"We have it once a year to teach the cadets what to expect when they get into the active U.S. Army."

Officers can be sure to par-

ticipate in a number of these events throughout their military career, Wilson said.

"By having these dinners, the cadets won't be surprised when they get active duty and have to attend one of these functions with their unit."

Honored guests Dr. Carol Pyles, Dean of the School of Special Arts and Sciences, and her husband, Mr. Richard Pyles were among the cadets and cadre to attend the event.

A humorous punch bowl ceremony delivered by Cadet Major Leon Hughes opened the evening's festivities and was followed by a formal dinner and a guest speaker.

During the dinner, members of the mess waged humorous mock charges against each other.

Charges and defenses were presented for judgement to Lieutenant Colonel Terry May,

Professor of Military Science, acting as president of the mess. If the president saw fit to impose a fine for a particular crime, cadets were sure to receive 10 push-ups for it, while convicted cadre made $1 bills ready to donate to Cadet Major Elmo Fletcher. He was acting as Mr. Vice, mediator for the event.

Following the dinner, guest speaker Lieutenant Colonel Ed Wheeler, a military officer from the 45th Infantry Brigade, delivered an inspirational speech concerning his outlooks on the army and his views of an officer's integrity.

According to Wilson, the ROTC department has had a "dining in" ceremony for the past four years. Wilson says the ceremony is always a trememdous success, and he says he is certain that the ROTC department will continue this tradition.

Student gives cello recital

By Italia Carson Performing for a crowd consisting of faculty, friends, and family, James Alan Shelley presented his senior cello recital at 8 p.m. Tuesday in the Recital Hall of the Music Building.

Shelley selected the Suite III for unaccomanied cello by J.S. Bach, the Sonata in F Major by Brahms and the Concerto No. 1 in A

Minor by Camille Saint-Saens to perform for the hour-long concert.

CSU expects improvement . Lady Broncho boss hopes for fast start Better talent and more height inside are expected to improve Central State University's women's basketball team in 1985-86. Lady Broncho head coach John Keely lost three starters off of last year's 7-21 club, but younger players received valuable experience which should help a great deal this season.

Keely, with a 78-76 record after five years at the CSU helm, welcomes back seven players who earned letters least season including returning starter Cheri Happe (a 5-10 junior guard from Tulsa Kelly) and parttime starters Melanie Jones (a 5-6 junior forward from Collinsville who averaged 42 points per game in high school) and Carla Bell (a 5-8 sophomore forward from Clinton). Bell led the Lady Bronchos in rebounds last season (6.1 per game) and in scoring (8.2 per game).

Bell will lead the inside corps of the Lady Bronchos which includes lettermen Dee Dee Rutz, 5-11 junior forward from Okeene; Gwen Coyle, 6-0 sophomore center from Yukon; and Kim Thomas, 5-11 sophomore center from Nowata. Also expected to be a big addition to the inside game is Stacy Stout, a 6-2 sophomore center from Spiro via Stephen F. Austin, Texas.

"We're still young," said Keely. "We are probably still a year away from contending for a championship. We're juniors and sophomores now instead of freshman and sophomores."

The biggest pre-season problem for Keely's team is at point guard where the Lady Bronchos lost two regulars from last year. Happe has been moved over to the point from off-guard and she will be backed up

by Dia Snyder, a 5-2 freshman from Piedmont who is an excellent shot from the outside and will see a lot of playing time.

"We are going to put that ball in Cheri's hands," said Keely. "She is a tremendous athlete and will make things happen. Sometime she has a tendency to go to fast and will make some bad passes, but you want to get the ball in your best athlete's hands as much as you can."

With Stout, Bell, Coyle and Thomas, the Lady Bronchos will have more height than past clubs and should be a strong scoring and rebounding team. Rutz, Jones and Happe will add solid play outside, but all three are also excellent rebounders and capable of scoring points from around the basket and inside the line.

"It seems like we have a more balanced attack this year," said Keely.

0 "We do a good job of perimeter shooting with Melanie, Dee and Carla.

Melanie is a tremendous shooter."

If Happe can direct the team from her new position at point guard and the Lady Bronchos can establish balance in their offensive attack, CSU could return to a 20-win season again. Before last year's 7-21 record, the Lady Bronchos posted three consecutive 20-win seasons.

This season the Lady Bronchos will be young with only one senior (who is a walk-on) on the roster and four sophomores and three juniors serving as regulars. Maturity will be a factor, but with graduation depleting a number of District 9 clubs this year the Lady Bronchos hare a good chance to be very competitive.

"I think it (district race) is wide-open," said Keely. "It's going to be a fun year because no one really knows what to expect. The first thing we have to get accomplished is that the kids have got to learn how to win.

"If we get some wins under our belt early in the year we can have an excellent season. Things have to fall in place for us early."

Bronchos, OCC to battle for cross country throne

THE FINAL TOUCH

-K *

Cheri Happe

By Ed Godfrey Sports Editor Central State University will be out to regain the cross country crown it lost last year to Oklahoma Christian College when the Bronchos compete in the District 9 championships Friday.

The 5-mile race will begin at 4 p.m. on the campus of OCC. The cross country course is located north of the OCC gymnasium.

Once again the battle for the District 9 title should come down to the Bronchos and their crosstown rival OCC. OCC won the District 9 championship last year ending CSU's three-year reign as cross country king.

"This has been our objective," said CSU head coach Paul Parent.

"We want to win the district meet and qualify as a team to nationals."

The team champion Friday will get to send a full roster to the NAIA national cross country championships in Kenosha, Wis. The top five individual runners in

Friday's meet also qualify for the national championships.

Both OCC and CSU have been plagued by injuries this season.

Earlier in the year the Bronchos lost their No. 2 runner, Steve Heffernan, for the season due to a bout of mononucleosis.

"It looks like it is going to come down to who has the five healthiest runners and who can run that day," said Parent. "It's just a toss-up. We should have the No. 1 runner but after that I can't tell you what is going to happen."

The Bronchos' top runner, Nelson Begay, is a heavy favorite to win individual honors Friday but the team championship will be decided by how the rest of the field finishes.

"Oklahoma Baptist could take points away from either of us, but the team title is going to boil down between us and OCC," said Parent. "Anything can happen in a 5-mile race, but Nelson should have a comfortable lead at the end."

CSU has defeated OCC each time the two clubs have met in cross country meets this season, but Parent said Friday's meet will be a different kind of race.

"We finished ahead of them at their meet, at OU, at OSU and at Pittsburg (Kansas) but that's when you have a lot more teams competing and the points get separated," he said. "When you have just two or three teams in the meet it is a different situation."

Parent said CSU and OCC enter Friday's championship with very competitive teams. He said this year's finish could be very close and gives no advantage to the host school because the meet is being held on the OCC course.

"We run on it two or three times a year and as far as fan support, we will have a lot of people over there," he said.

"It will be tight," said Parent.

"We're going to show up and do our best. As far as a prediction, - I'm not going to make one."

CSU obtains added punch with addition of Sterling

By Bobby Garrett John Sterling is a running back

that any football coach would like to have in his backfield. Sterling is quick, fast, and has excellent hands to catch passes out of the backfield. This season Sterling is proving himself a well balanced player for Central State University.

Sterling, a 6-3, 195-pound junior from Altus, believes his best assets are his speed (4.4 in the 40 yard dash) and his quickness.

He has been a big play man since he was inserted in the Broncho backfield.

Sterling saw limited action in his first two years as a Broncho, but he has been a big plus for CSU this season since running back Alvin Ross is unable to play because of a question in his eligibility.

After gaining only 187 yards in just 32 carries in his freshman and sophomore years, Sterling has already rushed for 419 yards this season and has won the No. 1

fullback spot. He has rushed for five touchdowns and has also caught eight passes for 187 yards and two touchdowns for CSU. Both yardage numbers are second best on the team.

Sterling has provided CSU with an added offensive threat out of the backfield in addition to tailback Eddie Goodlow, who will be looking to break the 1,000-yard mark this season in Saturday's game at Cameron.

Sterling has been a factor in his last three games for the Bronchos.

His electrifying 4 8-yard touchdown run against Angelo State at the end of the game gave CSU a chance to win.

CSU head coach Gary Howard.

"He is a tremendous athlete."

When Sterling is in the backfield for the Bronchos, it is like a reunion for him because the CSU running back tandem are uncle and nephew. Goodlow is Sterling's uncle as well as his teammate.

"I have been playing with Eddie all my life," said Sterling.

"We started in grade school so now I'm used to it."

Offensive coach Boone Copeland is pleased with the way Sterling has been improving from week to week.

"John has improved tremendously in the last four weeks," He led the Broncho victory said Copeland. "He had a good against East Texas State by game against Carson-Newman rushing for 128 yards on 14 carries and against Abilene Christian he and two touchdowns. His 53-yard started improving his blocking. touchdown run on a screen pass He's gotten better every week. against Texas A&I lifted the Bron- "He complements Goodlow chos to a lead it would never relin- very well.
