Women who have changed their
names through marriage or divorce
during their working careers should
be sure to check their Social
Security records to verify that all
their earnings are credited correctly,
Ed Chamberlain, Social Security
manager in Chickasha, said today.
Married women who are self-em-
ployed need to check their records
carefully too. According to the
Internal Revenue Service, some
married women who filed a joint
tax return and were self-employed
under their maiden names may not
have their earnings recorded
correctly.
Name changes should be reported
to a person's employer and to the
Social Security Administration so
that a new Social Security card can
be issued. The new card will have

The program was implemen-

Freeman said. Tutors from the
Oklahoma Literacy Council vol-
unteered their time.
Freeman said he tells the con-
victs not to go with the deferred

they can stick with the program.
“Most of the people we see in-

Freeman said.

Ginny Spencer was a suc-
cessful real estate agent who
dabbled in catering. She heard
about the institute from Sandy
Wischmeyer, a caterer and the
school’s director of curriculum.
Spencer liked the idea so much
that at 53, she decided to change
careers.
“The program is just wonder-
ful,” Spencer says. “There’s a
definite need for this kind of in-
dustry. I feel lucky to be in on the
ground floor.”
Tuition for the eight-week pro-
gram is $4,000, which covers 300
hours of education. The price
may seem a bit steep to some,
but Starkey has a decisive de-
fense.

“The scheme of inter-
collegiate athletics in Oklahoma
needs fundamental reform,” he
said.
State regents have said in the
past that athletics should not use
any academic funds and should
be sustained through ticket
sales, advertising, parking fees
and concessions.
“The idea that athletic pro-
grams should be self supporting
is so naive as to be laughable,"
Davis said.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -
A state audit is critical of fi-
nancial practices at
Oklahoma State University.
The investigative audit by
the office of Auditor and In-
spector Clifton Scott pointed
to several problems in the
university's athletic depart-
ment, including a travel
agency paying for a coach’s
trip to Hawaii and business
done with a company in which
the athletic director owned
stock.
It cited an instance where
the Oklahoma State Univer-
sity Foundation, Inc. paid
consultant fees to university
employees.
The audit, in criticizing
payment of the baseball
coach’s trip to Hawaii, refer-
red to a state law that pro-
hibits a state employee from
receiving directly or in-
directly any compensation for
fulfilling his official duties.
“Management should make

“During the audit period
there were three purchases
entered into between the uni
versitv and the vendor, in the
amount of $16,282.40. Of this
amount, $470.40 was paid by
the university, $12,245 was
paid by the OSU Foundation
and $3,567 was paid by giving
complimentary tickets to the
vendor,” the report said.
The audit cited a state law
forbidding any state agency
from entering into any con
tract with a state employee of
the agency or with a business
in which such a person “shall
have a substantial financial
interest.”
Auditors said the university
was taking steps to identify
the owners and principals of
