Cassens working to correct faults S
By Kim McConnell Second in a series One of the criticisms directed at CSU by the North Central Association (NCA) team when they visited in the spring of 1979 concerned the Office of the Vice President for Academic Affairs. "There were some areas the academic office did not control that it normally would have," said Dr. Patrick Cassens, current vice president. Cassens assumed his duties as vice president in July of 1979, four months after the NCA visit. Since one criticism of the academic office was that it did not assume its share of campus responsibility, steps have been to gather more services back into its fold. These recaptured services have been numerous, according to Cassens. Thirteen services and programs have been reassigned to Cassens' office, including talkback television and offcampus courses, faculty research, certification and degree checks. The office has also taken a hand in faculty governmental affairs, including re-organizing the Graduation Council and its standards. "We have strengthened it. We have a greater control of the graduation area," he said. The office is also doing a "space study," according to Cassens, that is seeking to reassess the needs of various schools. He pointed to the plans underway for a new math building as administrative progress to meet the needs of a growing student population. Cassens is also proud of the progress being made in relations between the administration and the faculty. Promotions and merit stipends programs are now in gear and things seem to be more open between the two groups. "There have been several beneficial meetings with the Faculty Senate this year," he said. "We have had a freer dialogue in some respects. (Alvin) Alcorn sits on one committee, the fi-
nance committee, which we have reorganized." Cassens also pointed out that the School of Education has been reorganized as part of the NCA working orders. The program is fully in place and has narrowed the school from eight to four departments, including the recently added library science department. Cassens feels positive about the upcoming NCA visit and the results CSU has thus far achieved. "The progress has been positive," he said, "but you're not ever where you would like to be." A report made to President Bill Lillard by his special Blue Ribbon Committee, appointed in March, 1981 to investigate NCA criticisms, agreed with Cassens that good progress has been made in re-assigning services to the academic office. However, the committee did point out several areas that should be cause for concern. After polling the faculty, they noted that some members felt the office is experiencing a severe shortage of staff that could hamper "leadership cap Vista photos by Michael Keen abilities." The shortage of perFog seems to reach out and grasp anyone or anything in its path, seizing them and pulling them sonnel sometimes caused delays into oblivion.

Reporter remembers Star tragedy Ed. Note The following story is a first-hand account of the Star Elementary tragedy by Mark Borchik, a beginning new writing student who also works for Channel 9 (KWTV) By Mark Borchik It was Tuesday, a usually ordinary day. But this Tuesday was not to be an ordinary day in the lives of thousands of Oklahoma City ans .

My first clue came at 1:30 p.m. as I pulled into the KWTV parking lot and was dismayed not to find a parking space near the door. A full lot meant the morning crew was still at work and that meant something was probably going on
By 2 p.m. that Tuesday, all three Oklahoma City network television affiliates had broken on the air with live cut-ins, which sometimes included raw videotape of the rescue operation only moments after it had been shot.
At approximately 12:20 p . m . that afternoon, the Star Elementary School in Midwest City was rocked by an explosion that reduced the northwest corner of its cafeteria to rubble, leaving six dead and many injured. A malfunctioning ten-year old water heater has since been determined to be the cause of the tragedy. Public despair has evoked an emotional outcry of criticism aimed at various officials, agencies and the media for its coverage of the aftermath of the Star School disaster. The electronic media in particular has been lambasted for bringing home to its viewers the grief, terror and pain of a time that seemed as if a nightmare.
At 4 o'clock the crew began returning from the field to prepare packaged stories for the five o'clock news and with the arrival of an editor from the CBS Dallas bureau, the editing room was getting congested. Phil VanStavern poked his head around the corner, and motioned we are leaving, and yelled "live shot" over the whir of the tape machines and the half dozen or so individual conversations in the room. I obtained the keys to a news car from one of the returning photographers and met Van Stavern in the back lot. Our destination was the Midwest City Blood Institute. If there was a bright spot in the darkness of that tragedy, it was
the sight of over 200 people standing in lines that circled the six story building that housed the donation center as we drove up. The Midwest City Blood Institute s located just south of Midwest City Memorial Hospital where most of the victims had been taken earlier in the day . There was virtually no place to park, as a steady stream of cars kept arriving. The occupants somberly moved in to lines that formed outside the building and a mobile blood donation van that was called in to handle the everincreasing number of donors. As a result of live television reports originating from blood donation centers city-wide during the evening newscasts, people from as far away as a 100 miles made the trip to stand in the long, slow-moving lines, as darkness moved in and temperatures dipped into the 30s. Many of these people had never given blood before. Continued to page 3

ions over those of uncertainty I shake my head in disappointment. An individual's belief in a perfect being should be kept sacred within himself. If one cares to share his or her feelings with such great extent, let it be done behind the walls of his church. Our society is intelligent enough to know where to go if they care to render a moment of silent prayer. There is quite a substantial amount of advertising, via mouth. This method can be quite a harassment for many individuals. I, as one, respect any opinion offered to me for I realize that one's opinion may be based on faith or a desired belief. I can not take this tool away from them, and I do not want to try. Man's greatest tool is his faith. But there are those who have a very narrow insight. They believe they have all
the answers; they know what path to follow. What they do not know is when to quit talking. I have been driving on a long, straight road for a number of years. I have seen no exits, no detours. But today, I have found myself idling. I have stopped. In front of me lies a crossroad. I now have a choice. I can turn on the road in which I'll find that there are a great number of choices to declare what group I shall represent, a game that is played from ages one to adult. Or I can continue on the same long, quiet road of uncertainty until I find another crossroad. I only wish I could understand why must there be so many religions to represent one perfect being. So much has been pressed upon me that I have come to the conclusion that many people do use religion as a
crutch. They are not strong enough to walk alone. They do not carry faith that will give them the ability to think and reason for themselves. These people are dogmatic thinkers in the field of religion. They are the ones which keep uncertainty in reality. If there is a more perfect being than ourselves, why can we not all belong to him as one? Represent him as one? For those of you which have found faith within yourself and hold it as your own, I salute you. To those of you that continue to squander words, recite lengthly quotations, I can see that your faith is beginning to make you run fast down the wrong road. I will find my own answers. I do not need yours. When my faith has been fully developed, I'm sure it will walk me slowly down the right road.

Kids need achnowledgement These children are different, some might say special. A word was even created to describe these children — Eurasians; the offspring of Western fathers and Oriental mothers. They are scattered throughout the Eastern world, the aftermath of Allied occupation during and after World War II, the Korean conflict and the long years of Vietnam. Many are now as old as their Western fathers were when they met their mothers. All children are cute and these are no exception. They combine the best features of their two worlds to produce beings that are undeniably the offspring of Western, men — Great Britian, France and the U.S. Some of these children are American offspring and yet they remain overseas, shunned by an ordered society that will accept them and a far away country that does not want them. Isn't it about time the U.S. accepted her responsibility to these children; to acknowledge their existance and give them a home? Why is it that the U.S. government will
Does anyone really believe that ? Of course not. Everyone is well aware of exactly what went on when those soldiers, many young and away from home for the first time in their lives, had any time off or went on furlough. So it happened. Why not admit it? It really isn't too hard to figure out who those children belong to. Some belong to other Western countries, but many are definitely American. not accept responsibility for these children? The biggest governmental argument, or cop-out, is "How do we know these are the offspring of American soldiers?" How, indeed? It is obvious that every American soldier who went to Korea and Vietnam and the Phillipines remained celibate for their entire tour of duty. They thought of nothing but finishing their tour and returning home to their mother's arms. Sex never crossed their minds, not one time! many of these children still clutch as a very precious possession pictures of sol-
diers in American uniforms. These are their fathers, some pictured by themselves, some with their mothers. These precious possessions must have surely been given to them by their mothers, who in turn received them from their American lovers. Some doubt may still remain in some minds as the the parentage of these children. Does it really matter so much? The U.S. was founded on the principal of a new free land which opened her arms to all the poor and homeless of the world. These children must surely fit into that category. They are homeless in their own land because their maternal society will not accept them. They are not of pure blood. They fit the standard criteria for U.S. immigration. We accepted the refugees from Castro's Cuba and from Haiti and the political refugees of Communist countries. None of these people were American. These children are. Can't we do the same for our own?

Larry Audas prepare to do a live report from the site. The tragic aftermath is brought home by the sight of lunches left sitting on a school table. Circled by television lights, a group of KWTV reporters discuss strategy for upcoming newscast.
Star Elementary Continued from page 1 Oklahoma City School Superintendant Dr. Tom Payzant called a five o'clock news conference at Star School. The local press corps en masse descended on Star Elementary at about 4 p.m. Local law enforcement personnel had by this time become quite adept at dealing with the multitude of press people. The school grounds had been roped off, and marked with signs reading "Keep Out — Police Crime Scene." Members of the press were registered, and lissued I.D. badges. The news conference came off at five O'clock sharp, and a visibly shaken, yet collected Tom Payzant gave details of progress made in the investigations to the press corp and the thousands of families that were huddled around television sets in the confines of their living rooms. In addition to the live coverage of the news conference, these same newscasts and ones to follow, were to bring the first hard-hitting interviews with survivors and parents of the dead children interviews that have been labeled "exploitation" by an enraged viewing audience. With darkness approaching, the addition of thousands of watts of television lights cast an eerie din on the school yard of Star Elementary that had to be felt by all in attendance. The piles of rubble lay in shadowy forbidding, the lights inside the cafeteria added ghostly significance to the rows of half-eaten lunches and brightly-colored lunch boxes that lined the still-standing tables in a room framed by a cavernous black hole in the north wall. The long shadows of the many people scurrying about the schoolyard outside flickered on the sides of the deserted building. Technicians, photographers, and reporters prepared themselves for the 6 p.m. news as generators groaned and radios crackled through the cold night air. The school grounds are now silent, but the unplesant memory of the tragedy lingers in many minds. The television news departments continue to receive calls from disgusted viewers that voice their opinions of how the tragedy was covered by the press. The fact remains that the members of the media only did what they are paid to do. They are not callous people and felt all the horrors of that disaster just as their audience did. "What we did in our coverage of the Star School explosion, in particular in our coverage of the families and their grief, was journalism at it best and most distasteful at the same time. Nobody likes to see people cry. Nobody likes to see people in pain," said VanStavern. "But if you're going to be good journalists, you can't simply arbitrarily delete grief from life. It's part of life."

Teacher's College in Pennsylvania. In 1951, he received a doctorate in botany from the University of Minnesota. Having published 15 books of poetry and "thousands" of individual poems in magazines and journals, Dr. Russell has also proven to be a prolific science writer, with 13 science books and workbooks to his credit, as well as 100 research articles. He is also an acknowledged authority on violets in North America.
He is married, with three children and has been teaching at CSU for 15 years after stints with Grinnel College, Iowa, Buena Vista College, Iowa, Rutgers and Arizona State University at Tempe. Russell's honor was announced after the AAUP received nominations from CSU faculty during the fall and a committee made up of representatives from the academic schools made their recommendations to the executive committee of the chapter.

title and the summary of each of the tens of thousands of titles and abstracts the databases contain. A particular advantage, she said, is the system's ability to rapidly compile a bibliography on research subjects of two or more distinct concepts. If a person were researching the effect of high interest rates on the price of stocks with a low price-earnings ration, for instance, the computer would search for articles dealing with the stock market and finally search for articles dealing with stocks with low price-earnings ratios. It would then eliminate all the articles that didn't deal with all three of the concepts, she said. And it would do so in a matter of minutes or seconds, she said. CSU's terminal is linked to the database through telephone lines. Not only is there a charge for use of the lines, but the companies maintaining the database charge for use of their computer. A royalty charge to the publishers is also added. While the cost of the system is being borne by the university for this semester, other funding is being considered, Barry said. "This is becoming popular all across the country," she said. "Some libraries are paying for the service themselves, some are charging the users and some are splitting the cost between the users and the institution." The service is now limited to faculty and staff, but Dr. Lolley said the university hopes to open it up to graduate students after the spring 1982 semester and plans call for it eventually being available to undergraduates as well.
Student Senate plans 'Welcome Back Week The Student Senate has planned a Welcome Back Week for Jan. 26-28 to start off the new semester. "School is more than academic," said spirit school chairman Folly Pietzel. "We want more school spirit. We want to offer something else. We want the students to have fun." Jan. 26, from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., free pingpong and pool is offered on the first floor of University Center. Jan. 27 the movie "The Deep" will be shown at 8 p.m.
Admittance is free. Jan. 28, there will be a dance from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. Music will be from the KOFM mobile music machine. The rest of the student senate meeting concerned the creation of the committees for the next year and the scheduling of their meetings. According to president Tim Reese, there are several openings for senators for the spring semester. Those interested need to pick up an application from the Student Senate office on the fourth floor of University Center.

Communication love and appreciation of education to young Hispanic students is just one of the areas of concentration to be stressed in the bilingual education program at CSU, said Dr. Noemi Lorenzana, assistant professor of elementary education. Lorenzana, originator of the program and consultant for the state department of education on bilingual education will prepare and implement instructions to help teachers to function effectively in Spanish-English educational programs. Although courses are designed for the teacher that have Hispanic students in their classes, it will not focus on maintaining or developing a Spanish or English proficiency but rather in providing skills to better teach these students, said Lorenzana. "The bilingual education program will place emphasis on providing an appreciation for education at an early age in hopes of decreasing the drop out rate."
According to Lorenzana many young Hispanics become frustrated with their education due to communication difficulties, and therefore drop out of school. At this time, there exists an 80 percent high school failure rate for these students, she said. To implement the program, plans have been made to offer courses in Spanish and to develop a bilingual area of concentration within the existing elementary education degree program. A bilingual degree program in conjunction with the proposed accreditation plan under study by the State Department of Education is also a goal to ensure an adequate program design. Lorenzana said both her salary and student scholarships are provided by grants. "I will work with the public schools and state department as a consultant in developing future plans for teacher certificates in bilingual education," she said. Field experiences, a common
part of many CSU education courses, will be part of the coursework for these students. Placement of field experiences and employment as bilingual aides will be explored in the Oklahoma City system as well as opportunities in other districts. According to Lorenzana, the bilingual program will include courses, workshops, summer institutes and modification of existing courses, English as a second language and Spanish for the school teacher are just two areas of study to be offered. "Our major purpose for the program is to eliminate the educational failure rate among Hispanic students," said Lorenzana. "It is crucial to develop strong ties to education by teaching the child in his primary language and then gradually working into the English language," she said. Enrollment for summer and fall classes in the bilingual education program will begin in March.

Crosby sets scoring record? Cameron outlasts Bronchos By Robert Slankard

Despite a possible school record 44 points by Charles Crosby, the Bronchos went down to their 13th loss of the year Thursday night against the Cameron Aggies, 88-83, in Broncho Fieldhouse. In what is becoming a habit at home, the Bronchos fell behind by as many as 16 points late in the first half, but a brilliant second half rally, led by Crosby and Kendal Cudjoe, saw the Bronchos slowly shop away at the Aggie lead. With 10:43 left in the game, CSU trailed 62-48. But in the next five minutes, the Bronchos outscored the Aggies 20-10 to cut the defecit to four, 72-68 with 4:54 left in the game. Crosby had 11 of those points, with eight coming on four layups or tip ins underneath. Crosby shredded the Aggie defense all night under the basket and had 18 rebounds to go with his 44 points in what might have been the greatest individual Broncho performance ever. For the night, Crosby canned 12 of 13 free throw attempts and was a remarkable 16 of 21 from the floor.

ally chipping it down to two with just 15 seconds left in the game on a bucket by Crosby, who scored CSU's last seven points. However, clutch free-throw shooting by Cameron enabled the Aggies to put the game out of reach at 86-83 with two seconds left. For CSU, the first half was every bit as terrible as the final half was exciting. The Bronchos managed to stay with the Aggies early and actually held an 8-6 lead on a thunderous slam dunk by Crosby with just 4:12 gone in the game. However, the Aggies tied the game up at 10 and then went on a rampage, outscoring the Bronchos 12-2 over the next five minutes to take a commanding 22-12 lead. That lead would balloon to 16 points, 30-46, at the half as CSU's offense began to stagnate and the Aggies appeared to grow hotter by the minute. Cameron shot 60.7 percent from the field in the first half, compared to CSU's 46.2. The season leading scorer, Cudjoe, was held scoreless and Kevin Pierce had just two points. But Crosby had 16 points to keep the Bronchos from being blown completely out of the arena. The Aggies hit their first shot of the second half to take their biggest lead of the night. But Craig Thomas, Pierce, Steve Austin and Cudjoe had baskets to help the Bronchos stay even with the Aggies until CSU started the comeback bid.
CSU's field goal percentage dipped even lower in the second half, 40.8. However, the Bronchos began to show life on defense and held the Aggies to a miserable 37.9 percent from the floor and for the game Cameron hit just 49.1 percent of their field goals, compared to CSU's 42.7. But perhaps what kept CSU in the game down to the wire more than anything was the incredible free throw shooting of Crosby. Crosby was 12 of 13 from the line for the game. However, Crosby's real value came in the final ten minutes of the game when the Bronchos needed every point. In that period of time Crosby cooly sank nine of 10 free throws, touching nothing but net on most of them. CSU was also helped out by the second half resurrection of Cudjoe, who consistently hit from the corners. He finished with 12 points. Despite an off night, Austin was still able to contribute 11 points and seven rebounds. Thomas was the only other Broncho to score more than two points as he finished with 10. The Aggies, who now stand at 11-8, were led by Greg Edwards with 17 points and six rebounds andSteveWallace with 16 points. Do to a discrepancy between the officials scoring and the CSU Sports Information Department scoring, there is a chance Crosby may be credited with 42 points, The previous record was 43 held by Wesley Clark.
Cameron nips Bronchettes By Robert Slankard Tammy London's last second shot was wide to left as the Bronchettes dropped a 70-69 heartbreaker to Cameron at home Thursday night. With four minutes left in the game, it appeared CSU would be in no position for a comeback, trailing by nine points. However, London and Rochelle Ware combined for eight points as the Bronchettes hit four straight buckets to pull within a point at 64-63 with 2:28 left. A basket by Cameron's Jo Tahsuda put the Bronchettes back into a hole, but Gayle
Stout's long range bomb from deep in the left corner gave CSU new life with 1:10 left. Two free throws from Tahsuda, who finished the game with 28 points, put the Lady Aggies up by three again with just 51 seconds left, but Ware's two free throws brought the Bronchettes to within one once more. But Tahsuda's two free throws appeared to seal CSU's fate with just 14 seconds left. However, Tammy Sunderland, who had been scoreless until this point, canned a basket with just four seconds left to give CSU one last chance. The Bronchettes were forced

to immediately foul and Jill Floyd went to the line with a chance to ice the win for Cameron. But Floyd missed both attempts, giving the Bronchettes one last shot. Following a timeout by CSU coach John Keely, the Bronchettes inbounded from half court with two seconds showing on the clock. London lofted the ball towards the net with one second showing and time ran out as the ball bounded off the backboard. It appeared the Bronchettes would be on their way to an easy win when they jumped out to an 11-6 lead five minutes into the game. But the Lady Aggies reeled off six unanswered points in under three minutes to take their first lead of the night. The Bronchettes answered with a run of their own and took their biggest lead of the night at 18-12 with 9:25 left in the first half. However, Cameron chipped away at CSU's lead and the teams Besides his 11 points, Thomas also pulled down seven rebounds ended the half in a 34-34 deadwhile team mate Steve Austin (23) also had 11 points. lock.

BNC whips CSU By Scott Munn Defending NAIA national basketball champion Bethany Nazarene College stymied a late CSU comeback attempt led by Charles Crosby and Anthony Andrews to down the Bronchos 85-71 Saturday at Broadhurst Gymnasium. Crosby, who scored 19 of a game high 27 points in the second half, along with Andrews' 10 second half points, capitalized on numerous Redskin miscues to rally the 6-14 Bronchos from a 49-30 halftime deficit to a nine point margin with less that five minutes remaining in the game. CSU, coming off an 81-77 upset with over top ranked Oklahoma Christian College Jan. 18, had their hopes of a second upset within a week ended when the Redskins' Angel Cruz, Kenny Smith and Mike Green combined for late crucial baskets. Green scored 24 points, including 14 second half points for the Redskins, and Eddie Evans, head CSU basketball coach, believes Green was a big factor in the Bronchos loss. "They shot well and had a real good offense, especially Green. He had an exceptional game," Evans said. Bethany Nazarene came out shooting at the opening tip, building early eight and 12 point leads
Stolen carpet recovered By Oscar Ray Neal Carpet that was taken from CSU's Health and Physical Education Department about a month ago is finally on its way back, according to Athletic Director Charles Murdock. The carpet, estimated to be worth somewhere in the area of $1,000, was allegedly taken by athletes and cut up into three pieces to be used in their dorm rooms and rumors are saying that this sparked a dispute between the Health and Physical Education Department and the Athletic Department. But that is not the case, according to Dr. Homer Coker, chairman of the physical education department. "I don't want to hang anyone, but, again, no one should be allowed to go unpunished," said Coker. Coker went on to say that he doesn't feel that there was or is a dispute between the departments, and he hopes that things can be worked out to everyone's satisfaction. He also stated that the carpeting was something that the physical education department could do without. Athletic Director Charles Murdock said that the athletes were very cooperative when asked about the carpet and they thought that it was something no one had use for. He also went on to say that the athletes involved would be responsible for the cost of repairing
the carpet. Other disciplinary actions would also be taken.
and also forcing Evans to call two first half timeouts so the Bronchos could re-group. Crosby and Kendal Cudjoe led CSU back to a three point deficit, but Redskin big men Green and Todd Thurman scored after grabbing offensive rebounds to help BNC open up their 19 point halftime lead. Evans feels that BNC came out geared up for CSU, since the Bronchos were recently coming off their win over OCC. "Beating OCC made them ready for us. They played real good and real hard," Evans said.

Wrestlers take third at Missouri tourney The Broncho wrestlers stormed through the "Show Me" state last weekend and showed everyone that CSU is far more than just an NAIA school. The Bronchos started the trip off on the right foot with a 39-6 romp over Northwest Missouri State. NWMS's only points came at heavyweight where CSU forfeited because coach Eddie Griffm decided to give Robert LeGrande another day to recover from the flu. The most exciting match came at 167 where Benny Coleman was down 8-0 to Paul Brugmier before recovering for a 13-11 victory. The only fall of the night happened at 190 when Melvin Gatewood pinned Nesby Cain in 2:44. Mickey McGowan and Joe Starzenski gained superior decisions, while Darren Huff and Mark Allen had major decisions. Friday and Saturday night the wrestlers competed in the Southwest Missouri Invitational and came in third behind South-

ern Illinois-Edwardsville and Southwest Missouri. The Bronchos advanced four wrestlers into the finals on Saturday, but none of them were able to win. The second place finishers were Huff, Ronnie James, Coleman and Bill Ameen. LeGrande upset fourth seed Terry Jasper of Southwest Missouri to make to the semifinals. In the finals Huff lost a 6-2 decision to Mike Garcia while James was pinned by Ryan Coufman of Nebraska-Omaha. Coufman was named the tournament's outstanding wrestler. Coleman was pinned by Jon Lundberg of Augustana. Ameen took Dave Young of Missouri State into overtime before losing 2-1. Hawkins had the most pins in the tournament with four. The final standing had Southern Illinois, 134 1/2; Southwest Missouri, 133; CSU 125 1/4; and Eastern Illinois rounded out the top four finishers in a field of 14 teams with 108 1/4.
Fans who were lucky enough to attend last Thursday's game between the Bronchos and Cameron had a chance to see one of the greatest individual efforts ever given in a CSU uniform. Charles Crosby, CSU's 6' 6" forward-center, has spent the first three years of his career in relative obscurity outside the campus. But Thursday night, Crosby gave a record, or near record, performance as he scored 42 points and pulled down 18 rebounds in the Bronchos 88-83 loss to Cameron. He was originally credited with 44 points, which would have broken the record of 43 points held by Wesley Clark. However, after reviewing the films, it was decided Crosby would officially be credited with 42 points, just short of the record. The point is, even though he missed the record by one, should this distract from his outstanding performance? Crosby connected on 16 of 21 field goals, while the other Bronchos combined were just 16 of 54. He scored 26 of his points in the second half when the Bronchos were making a legitimate run at the Aggies. Americans seem to be infatuated with records, whether it be sports, marriages or gold fish swallowing. But do we put too much emphasis on records?
For the rest of the year Crosby will be remembered for the Cameron game but in years to come his name will probably be forgotten while fanatics of the record book will continue to recite facts and figures about all-time CSU scorers for a game, season and career. A running controversy in the National Football League has been the records set due to the lengthening of the regular season schedule from 14 to 16 games. Anymore, every team has a running back with 1,000 yards rushing in a season or a quarterback passing for 3,000 yards. The practice of placing an asterick by records set in the expanded season has been incorporated, much to the displeasure of athletes and fans. It seems absurd that the sports world has reached a point that individual accomplishments often outshine that of a team. Despite all the excitement and hoopla that accompanied this year's Super Bowl, many felt that the publicity didn't match the buildup of previous Super Bowls. Could it be because San Francisco and Cincinnati lacked the so-called super star players such as TerryBradshaw, Tony Dorsett or Billy Sims?
