Khmer Rouge shifts strategies SIEM REAP PROVINCE, Cambodia (AP)—Bolstered by their first shipments of Chinese tanks, Khmer Rouge guerrillas are preparing a major attack to seize and area considered Cambodia's most important cultural and historic region. After making major gains in rural areas in the past year, the Khmer Rouge now are shifting to conventional military tactics to seize cities and key economic regions, Western military analysts say.

Democrats predict budget resolution WASHINGTON (AP)—Democratic leaders on Sunday predicted a new budget agreement before the government shutdown takes full effect today and said the pact would ease proposed Medicare cuts and excise tax increases. During a rare Sunday session, bipartisan talks continued around the Capitol while, outside, leaders of both parties blamed each other for the shutdown that closed federal tourist attractions and other weekend programs nationwide.

Student senate at Tahlequah OKs free condoms TAHLEQUAH (AP)—The student senate at Northeastern State University says a vote to distribute free condoms on campus is not condoning sex but saving lives. Opponents argue the vote is meaningless because condoms already can be purchased on campus. "Whether we condone sex is not the issue—the issue is condoning life," said student Kim Dearhammer. "We cannot ask you to stop having sex or force you to stop having sex." The senate voted 16-12 Wednesday for a resolution requesting condom distribution to prevent the spread of AIDS.

$3 per credit hour is charged to all CSU students. Currently, state institutions have authority to spend student activity monies. CSU also charges a 50 cent per credit hour student union charge. "Fee standardization would be a benefit to students by making it easier for them to see the fee structure and allow them to better budget college costs," Edney said. Classroom and lab fees, special fees and fees for registration, special instruction,

testing and clinical and facility equipment would replace current instruction and academic services fees. "Like one of the regents said, 'It will make fees more user- friendly,'" Edney said. Institutions wanting to resume case-bycase fee charges would have to reapply for regents' approval beginning with fiscal year 1992.

Many Central State University student fees may be voided by Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education in a move to standardize higher education fees and realign student activity fees, Jeanie Edney, regents communication director, said. The proposal will be submitted Oct. 22 to Please see FEES on page 8. the regents for approval during their Seminole Junior College meeting. "Some fees may be discontinued, some standardized and some institutions will have to bring them to the regents for reapproval," Edney said. Agenda for assessing instructional and academic services fees was presented to regents Sept. 24. If approved, changes would take affect July 1, 1991. "I have not seen the document," Darrell Gilliland, CSU admissions and records director, said. "We'll have to look at what they (regents) do and how it will apply to us." According to regents' information, fee revisions include: an expanded definition of "fees," the grouping of special fees into six categories, and a stipulation that institutions reapply for specific fees if the Members of the Beta Beta chapter of the Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority entertain a crowd policy is passed.

4 students awarded scholarships By Mark Schlachtenhaufen

Staff Writer Four Central State University students were granted more than $14,000 in academic scholarships from the Paul Douglas Teacher Scholarship fund for 1990-91. A seven-member, statewide panel supported by the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education selected the CSU students among 47 applicants who will receive $203,857 from the federally-funded program. CSU recipients are: Janet Easley, a junior

elementary education major, Jeffery Edmonson, a sophomore math major, ChristMe Robertson, and Gina Tinker. One requirement is for recipients to be working toward a teaching career. "I'll be an elementary school teacher," Robertson said. "I want to make a difference with the kids." Robertson will receive $4,725, Tinker, $4,725, Easley, $3,160, and Edmonson, $2,730. Students will receive their funds at the beginning of each semester as designated by the award letter. Edmonson's father, Freddie, said sports

have influenced his son's career decision. "He enjoys sports and wants to be a coach and teach," Freddie said. CSU students were honored for ranking in the top 10 percent of their high school class or for scoring a 62 on the general education development test. Students were considered if they had a cumulative 3.0 grade point average and were enrolled full time in approved teacher education preparation programs. Also, scholarship students must be U.S. citizens, nationals or an eligible noncitizen. Recipients must be Oklahoma residents as ruled by the regents.
