Grad students study divorce

Divorce is not a solution to the problem. "You just trade one set of the problems faced for another," says Dr. David Mitchell, counseling and psychology professor here. "One of the problems faced by the divorced person is that divorce is an ongoing process, not an end," said Mitchell. "A couple gets a divorce and a year later, they are still having to cope with the problems." Methods of adjusting to those problems are the subject of a study being conducted by graduate students here. Under Mitchell's supervision, the study seeks to identify coping mechanisms and understand why they work. To facilitate the study, the CSU graduate students are seeking divorced persons who would like to become part of weekly discussion groups that will meet for four weeks beginning in Febuary. Each group of 10-12 members will be led by a male and a female graduate student in the CSU counseling program, said Mitchell. Directing the study will be graduate student Kathy Huddleston, an occupational therapist at St. Anthony Hospital. "I became interested in this because a lot of the psychiatric patients I work with who are suffering depression have divorce related problems," said Huddleston. Huddleston herself has had to cope with the problems of divorce. "I am now happily remarried, but I feel I can bring personal experience to the group," said Huddleston. The discussion groups will use a variety of counseling techniques, including learning coping skills. "This is not analysis," said Mitchell. "It is intended to be a learning and training process for both the group participants and the students." "We see this project not only as a scholarly research tool, but also as a community service," he added.

John George: 'Man for all seasons' By Tonia Sykes What makes CSU political science professor Dr. John George desirable as an instructor, as a guest lecturer for civic, political and religious groups and as a guest on radio and talk shows? "Academically, John George is the closest thing to a man for all seasons in Oklahoma. He can debate with you, discuss with you or if you are difficult, with a black belt in karate, he will break your neck," said Frosty Troy, publisher of the Oklahoma Observer. Perhaps Troy's reference to George's ability to recognize a misstatement of fact correlates with the opinion of one of George's peers. "John is a Renasissance man, a trivia expert. He tries to keep up with everything. He is recognized as an expert in extremism. He is a practical joker in the sense that he does things people might think are

bizarre because they can't tell if he's putting them on," said Dr. William G. Parker, CSU sociology professor. "We were at a party one time and he had another guest convinced that he was a John Bircher as well as having strong Communist leanings. Then John looked at that person and said, 'You can be convinced of anything; you should be more cautious about accepting an individual's word just because he is who he is or how much he supposedly knows.' "He just tries to get people to think. He's very committed to free speech, equality and justice. He's against smoking in public places and against infringing on other peoples rights, environment and politics. However, he does have his 'other side' just like we all do." Students agree with Troy's observation of George's academic capabilities. "The first time I heard Dr.

George speak was at a lecture he gave on paranormal phenomena. I thought to myself, 'Here's a guy who's not afraid to speak out. I've got to take a class from him.' And I've never been disappointed.

John George His classes are like an intellectual explosion. I always leave the room thinking," said Victoria Danquah, senior journalism major. Joe McCourry, student senate president, said George is an excellent professor because he presents his subject matter in a manner conducive to learning. "Dr. George is concerned with whether or not a student is understanding what he is trying to communicate. My perception of him is that if he thought he weren't communicating he would leave. He tries to motivate students to think when he submits

ideas. He doesn't care if what students think doesn't agree with what he thinks — just as long as they think." McCourry also said students can go to George's office and ask him for information whether it relates to his classes or not. "He will go out of his way to find information for you if he doesn't know the answer. He wll bring you clippings or photocopies of articles, anything he can do to help out." The classes George teaches at CSU are Political Parties-Political Behavior, African Political Systems, Public Opinion, Political Sociology and Contemporary Political Issues. He is also interested in crime (especially police problems and drugs), sociology of sport, terrorism and paranormal phenomena. His knowledge of these subjects does make him desirable as a guest on TV and radio talk shows and as a lecturer for civic, political and religious groups. George's desire to gain all the relevant information he can in his specialty area will take him on a sabbatical leave to Africa this month. "I had to become an African specialist when we got our master's degree program four or five years ago. Since I have never been to Africa and my background wasn't in that area, I feel a great need to go," he said. Eight countries are included on George's itinerary — Senegal,Ivory Coast, Nigeria,

Ghana, Kenya, Zimbabwe (Zaire), South Africa and Botswana. "Africa is the biggest hotspot in the world. Perhaps the magnitude is not as great as in the Middle East or Central America but there is more going on," George said. "If you start in the northwest, there is a war that's been going on for several years in the western Sahara between Morocco and a group calling themselves the Polisario. Guerillas are operating throughout Southern Africa — anti-communist guerillas in Mozambique and Angola and pro-communist guerillas in South Africa. There are guerillas operating in various places who are not even sure what they are. "I'm not going to be in any place where it will be really dangerous unless I can get an interview with a guerilla leader If I do get the interview, I will go into an area where danger is possible but not probable. Besides, I'm too big a coward to go where there is any real danger. I don't want to get my knees shot off," he said. Four of George's classes are not offered this semester because no one else is qualified to teach them. However, he will be back from Africa at the end of March and will be on campus to help out, he said. George studied karate for four years under the Korean master Jack Hwang and earned the black belt at age 32. He is no longer a practicing Karateka, but he does

Apolo gy Opinion Page expected

Letter to the Editor I have seized this opportunity to air my views regarding issues which I feel are of vital importance and worth giving adequate consideration. Everyone, particularly the student body, is aware of the financial position and budget cuts in the state of Oklahoma in general, and Central State University in particular. This to a great extent has had an effect on various departments and general life standards on campus, but I strongly feel that the student body deserves an apology. At the end of the 1983 Fall semester, there were posters on campus informing students of the possible deletion of courses in the 1984 spring semester schedule. Indeed, there were no specifications that the instructors were to be changed and at no time were any of my courses deleted because I continued countless times to visit the administration building to confirm whether or not my courses were affected. The spring semester has begun with most students placed in a state of dilemma. Students arrived to their classrooms with the hopes of attending their enrolled courses and original instructors since there was no prior information regarding actual course changes. But, to my greatest dismay, a different instructor is assigned to teach the course. If my course was deleted, I expected a notice from the administration so that necessary action could be taken.

voters deserve whatever comes their way. Oklahoma is obviously in financial trouble—just look around at all the classes that have been cut, the freeze on hiring, the slowdown in travel for state functions and a myriad of other problems that have been caused by the revenue shortfall. A one-cent sales tax increase has been proposed by the governor and the legislature seems inclined to approve the plan. If the plan gets the nod from the legislature, the measure could raise $200 million for the state. That sounds great, doesn't it? Not to some, but what are those people who oppose the measure doing to prevent its passage? Nothing. What are the people who favor the

Witchcraft class termed immoral Letter to the Editor Why is Central State University promulgating the evil and corrupting preponderance of Satan? By proffering a course devoted to the "History of Witchcraft" through the history department and mentor Kremm, our university is inculcating the deification of Satan upon its students. Witchcraft is the worship of Satan and is the practice of summoning the demoniacal powers of hell to inflict themselves upon God's creations. In Deuteronomy Chapter 18 verses 10-12 God says, "There shall not be found among you anyone who makes his son or daughter pass through the fire, one who uses divination, one who practices witchcraft, or one who interprets omens, or a sorcerer, or a spiritualist, or one who calls upon the dead. "For all who do these things are an abomination unto the Lord". Because this institution harbors the corrupting forces of Satan, we may begin to ask ourselves why must we attend a university which has no moral conscience. Jeffrey Dudley

measure doing to promote it? Everything they can, including holding meetings with various agencies and consumer groups who are being hard hit by the budget cuts. So there are two main groups involved in the tax measure mess, right? Wrong. I count three — those who oppose the measure, those who favor the bill and those who ride the fence and complain about the outcome. So in the end, while the rest of the state enjoys the fruits of the new tax measure and schools start receiving the new money the measure will raise, let's all go down to the local drugstore and buy some talcum powder for the folks who rode the fence for so long and couldn't make up their minds.

State,local, world news Senate passes budget cuts The Oklahoma Senate passed a bill Tuesday cutting $150 million in state government spending for this fiscal year. The bill will now return to the House for approval of minor errors. The bill carves $125 million from appropriations made to state agencies from the general fund—the principal funding source for legislative appropriations. Another $25 million will be cut from funding for the state Department of Human Services. Until this bill clears the Legislature, lawmakers won't be able to work on the budget for the fiscal year which begins July 1. They also won't be able to try out any tax-hike plans. Ear-marked for reductions are more than $83 million in education, according to Sen. Rodger Randle, D—Tulsa, author of the bill.

School fire called arson A Sunday night fire in the Altus School District Migrant Linguistics Laboratory that caused $10,000 damage is thought to have started when someone broke in and set books on fire, a police detective said. Detective Steve Ingram said an investigaton continues into three fires Sunday, including one at a footbridge near First Federal Savings and Loan that started when magazines were piled underneath and set ablaze. The footbridge fire was reported 10 minutes after the school fire. Police are not certain whether a third fire, in a dumpster behind a downtown clothing store, is related to the other two.

U.S. prepared for oil crisis With some 384 million barrels of oil in reserve stockpiles, the United States is better prepared than at any time in recent history to deal with a possible cutoff of oil imports, Energy Secretary Donald Hodel said Tuesday. Testifying before the Senate Governmental Affairs subcommittee on energy, Hodel said the United States has enough in reserve to temper any cut-off such as the 1973 Arab oil embargo. Should another embargo hit, he said, the administration strategy would be to start feeding the stockpile into the supply system as soon as possible to prevent disruption, panic buying and hoarding. a

Who cancels classes? By Traci Baucom Associate Editor According to President Bill Lillard, the decision to come to school when the weather is bad or streets and roads are icy is ultimately up to the student. Lillard makes the decision to keep school open, delay classes or close shop altogether. His decision, he says, is based upon information gathered from the university's vice presidents, Director of Maintenance Nimrod Chapel, the City of Edmond, the City of Oklahoma City and the Oklahoma Highway Patrol. "We take into account the fact that 1,600 students live on campus," Lillard said. "Another 2,500 students live within a two mile radius. We make a decision based on the best interests of the students." Lillard says if school is not going to be closed,

nothing at all will be announced. If, however, extreme weather conditions warrant the canceling of all classes the local media are notified. Although the CSU switchboard operators are notified, Lillard suggests students tune into local radio or TV stations since the switchboard can handle only a few calls at a time. The media should have all the up-to-date information since procedures used to notify them are fairly foolproof, according to Lillard. When Lillard or one of his representatives call, they always speak to someone who will recognize their voice and they always use a codeword. "We basically try to keep school open when at all possible," Lillard said.

Senate mulls appeals change Dr. James Perry, vice-president of Academic Affairs, has recomended that the Faculty Senate assign a committee to review and reexamine the current procedures for students filing appeals. The present prodedures have been in effect for two years. Dr. Perry believes it is time to reexamine the policy for any holes that may be in the system. He feels that there is a sense of fair play at issue and that the appeals committee has an obligation to be

fair to the professor, the student and the University. Some faculty members have expressed their feelings of wasted time to go through a long detailed appeal when the instructor refuses to go along with the committee's decision. Dr. Perry questions the process of an appeal when it is ultimately up to the instructor to change a student's grade. The present policy does not bind the professor to the final recomendation of the appeals committee. A point to be review-

ed is the possibility of altering the role of the committee so that the recomendation of the committee would be allowed to prevail. Another point to be considered is whether or not it is necessary to place an appeal in a faculty member's file. Often there are frivolous complaints submitted by recurrent students. Any Chairperson or Dean of a department should have copies of the current prodedures for filing an appeal which are available to any student desiring one.

Safety board jabs Eastern A government safety board finished its investigation Tuesday into the May near-ditching into the Atlantic of an Eastern Airlines jumbo jet, faulting the airline and the Federal Aviation Administration for not uncovering and correcting serious maintenance lapses. The National Transportation Safety Board said FAA inspectors failed to notice a pattern of maintenance errors in a dozen cases where engines on Eastern jets had to be shut down during flight. Those engines lost oil when critical seals were not installed properly or left off altogether. Such a maintenance oversight occurred in May, causing an Eastern L-1011 jetliner flying from Miami to the Bahamas to lose power in all three engines and come within minutes of ditching into the ocean. The plane made it back to Miami when one of the engines restarted. Investigators discovered that mechanics forgot to put the seals on the three failed engines.

Graduate enioyina success By Melva Smith Joyce Jackson, a recent graduate of CSU, is living proof that higher education can lead to success. She was appointed public information officer for the Okla. Department of Corrections in November 1982. Jackson was formerly the public service coordinator for KOCO-TV, Channel 5. In her 11 years at the station, she worked as a news reporter and hosted a public affairs program called "Black Review" and, more recently, "Saturday Review". In an effort to stay abreast of

public relation and communication techniques, Jackson enrolled at CSU. Then she was offered the new position, public information officer, pending the completion of her degree. Department of Corrections officials considered her years of experience in communications coupled with her efforts to stay up-to-date in her field. Satisfied, they hired her even though she had yet to complete her studies, according to Jackson. She did finsh her degree program here, graduating in May 1983. "One can never become over-

"Many complex situations that arise are due to the time period in which we live," Jackson said. "Often there is no history with which to compare the situations. The suprises are endless."

educated if they're thriving to retain high standards in public service," Jackson said. "It's a constantly changing field." As public information officer, she is directly responsible for news releases and press statements. Her immediate supervisor is the director of corrections, Larry Meachum. Jackson is on 24-hour call and each penal insitution has a direct line to reach her. She is immediately informed in the case of riots, escapes, stabbings or other emergencies. She is responsible for informing government officials in the event of such emergencies, as well as releasing statements to the various media and the public. Although grateful for the skills she and the staff of the Depart-

Honest information is a matter of policy, according to Jackson, and often is not flattering to the department. "This makes public relations difficult," Jackson said. "But an informed public is an intelligent public which is more of a benefit than a hindurance."

Advisement consolidated By Traci Baucom Associate Editor Liberal arts majors may have noticed some changes around the academic adviser's office. The responsibility of advising liberal arts majors used to be split between two people, Dr. Gail E. Balman and Donna Guinn. In August, Balman left advisement for a teaching position in the political science department, thus leaving Guinn holding down the entire liberal art's front. With budget cuts in the offing, Balman wasn't replaced, according to Larry Williams, personnel director. The impact will be felt mostly by the students, according to Guinn. She is still in the office the same number of hours and can still assist only one student at a time. 10 C:11

"The basic problem is that we have 13,000 students and only seven advisers," Dr. Jim Perry, vice president of academic affiairs, said. "There are advisers here who handle a lot more students than Ms. Guinn. Perry said Guinn has a difficult assignment in that she is responsible for so many different programs within the school of liberal arts. "We find ourselves in a financial crisis," Perry said. "This is just one area where a person left a position and was not replaced. There are numberous instances of this across the campus." "Would the students advise us to put more personnel in academic advisement or would they want us to be sure the most complete class schedule was offered?," Perry asked.

Alumni director supports Bronze and Blue Attend almost any Central State University sporting event and most likely you will find John "Skip" Wagnon. He is usually at the official's table for all CSU basketball games and wrestling matches, scoring or announcing. He believes in sports and those who

It's one of those right places at the right time kind of stories. A physical education major, Wagnon became accquainted with Odes Massey, a graduate student who was at that time CSU athletic trainer. "We got to be friends and he asked me to be his student

I spent nearly all the time in the laundry room. The laundry room did little to dampen Wagnon's love of athletics. "I have always been involved in sports," Wagnon said.

"I was one of the early Trekkies; I started watching it in 1967. Of course, the program wouldn't have been half as good without Dr. Spock because his reasoning was 99 percent logic," George said. Logic is a term which George's wife Treva, a language professor at Rose State College, is very familiar. "It's very difficult to argue with John because he's so logical and because he has so many facts at his fingertips. However, I have learned to use logic and have my facts ready. One of his admirable traits is that when he's wrong he'll admit it," she said.

"John is very supportive of my personal growth. He's always been about ten years ahead in his thinking. He believes women have individual rights and he does recognize my individuality." The Georges' fifteen-year marriage has experienced some of the stresses and strains of their dual careers. "We both feel it is very important to make time for each other. A relationship cannot be expected to develop otherwise. Since we are both so busy, we have an appointment with each other once a week — a time we don't accept any other invitations or appointments. We take the phone off the hook and sit down and communicate." Meatloaf, a golden tabby Persian with a hint of Maine coon, is the Georges' surrogate child.

quite often mistaken for a meat loaf.' I liked that so I named our cat Meatloaf. And Maine coon is not just something I made up. Meatloaf has the ears and paws of that specific cat breed," George said. Logic is a tool George also tries to teach students. "The first thing I try to do is to make people think. I also try to get them to be objective. Then I try to teach them a little about working their minds in a logical way which most people don't," he said. George said he has often used the analogy, "A person who has never run more than an eighth of a mile cannot go out and run eight miles. Hence, most people cannot be logical because they have never tried to be logical. "People can't be objective because nearly everything they do is based on emotion and how things fit into what they already think. As a result most people

never bother to question their own assumptions or question the ideas with which they were brought up," he said. "When people go through life and never question, they just aren't thinking because no human being is right about everything. Even dads and moms can't be right about everything. "I try to get people interested in the world around them. I try to get them intellectually curious which most people aren't. They want that beer and all of those silly TV programs they watch and that's it." George said he believes most people shouldn't go to college until they are about 22. "Most students at 18 are not ready for college. I think a lot of them would be much better off if they worked for a couple of years or went into the service for two or four years. At 22, they seem more interested and more ready to learn."

Dunn retiring after reaching goal By MaryGaye Franklin Associate Editor Jim Dunn, chief of campus security, will be leaving CSU Feb. 29, after 19 years of service here. According to Dunn, he made his decision to resign over the Christmas holidays and he turned in his letter of resignation to Alvin Alcorn, vice president for administration, in early January. "There are an number of reasons for my deciding to resign," Dunn said. "First is when I started I set myself a goal of 20 years in law enforcement. "I have a personal belief that it is for the younger individuals rather than the old-timers." Dunn also cited the offer he had for the service managers job at Mason-Sharp John Deere dealership in Edmond as a prime reason for leaving. "It probably sounds a little funny to people for the Chief of Police to be going out and repairing small engines," Dunn said. But I have always liked working with my hands." According to Dunn another of

the reasons he resigning is because he is tired of the negative attitude people have towards police officers. "My new job is an opportunity to get away from people," Dunn said. "You don't have to deal with the public as much as you do in this job. "In this office you meet people who are mad at you because you have given them a parking ticket or impounded their car or put them in jail and you don't get many thanks. "In my new job you are fixing something that somebody else broke and they think you are better than sliced bread for bringing it back to life." Alcorn said, "We are sad to see Jim leave but I think I understand his reasons. "I think he is disappointed in the modern day interpretation of the lawman's job. In today's society, people who get involved in crime get off the hook due to minute, fine, complicated laws. Jim feels as a law officer his hands are tied and he can't function."

WAGNON continued from page 5 City and Amarillo, Wagnon returned to CSU as athletic trainer in 1971. After the retirement of golf coach and athletic director Dale Hamilton, Wagnon coached golf for three years. "We were NAIA District 9 champs in 1979," Wagnon said. "I like think that I had something to do with that." Others thought so too. He was named "Coach of the Year." During his years as a trainer Wagnon found many students would come to him with their problems. Friendships were formed that have lasted through the years. When Wagnon took on the job of alumni director he found he was still associated with many of his old friends from the athletic department. According to Wagnon, a large number of the active alumni are former athletes. "They stay active because they had such close ties to the university as students." Wagnon said he has no regrets for choosing athletics as his

profession. "It was a very rewarding experience. It gave me a lot of competitiveness that I enjoy in this job as alumni director," Wagnon said. "The competitive spirit keeps you going, keeps you from burnout." Around CSU, Wagnon is known as the man who can get things done. In the five years he has been director, holdings of the CSU foundation have doubled. You can tell his competitive spirit is still keen.

According to Alcorn, Dunn is a fine mechanic and he can do almost anything with his hands. "When someone has the talent to make things with their hands it gives them a great feeling of satisfaction to do so," Alcorn said. Dunn came to CSU as a student in 1962 after getting out of the navy. In 1965 he applied for a job with campus security and went to work in June of that year. He was then promoted to Chief of security in 1968. According to Larry Williams, director of personel, his office will be forming a search committee to find a replacement for Dunn but that nothing has been done at this time.

Basketball shorts... Men: It's bad enough to lose, but to drive all the way to Lawton to get clobbered by Cameron, well, that sure makes for a long bus ride back to Edmond. The Bronchos lost to the Aggies 97-62 in a onesided battle that favored Cameron all the way. Women: The women did not fare much better as the Cameron gals hit seven free throws in the final minutes of the game to down the lady Bronchos 56-50. CSU did come back from an 11-point deficit to take the lead with a little over 2 minutes to play in the ballgame. The lead changed twice more before Cameron finally sealed the Bronchos fate at the free throw line, hitting 18 of 24 in the second half. Kim Kramer led the Bronchos scoring with 16 points. The Lady Bronchos record now stands at 11-6. Guards win USAO game for Bronchos:Sce forward Chuck Kersgeiter was injured over the holiday break, Coach Buddy Armstrong has been running a three guard offense much of the time. The offense produc-

ed a season highlight against USA() as the Bronchos sailed to a 91-84 win, with the three starting guards scoring 67 points. Keith Russell, Chris Roper and Andy Parker, all scored career highs against the Drovers. Russell, a two-year starter, was 13-of-18 from the field and 5-of-6 from the free throw line for 30 points. It was the first time a CSU player scored 30 points or more in a game since Charles Crosby scored a school record 44 points against Cameron on Jan. 21, 1982...two-years to the day from Russell's performance against USAO. Roper added 25 points and a career best 8 assists while Parker had 12 points. Combined, the three were 27-of-35 from the field and 13-of-20 from the free throw line. They had a combined total of 8 rebounds, 14 assists and 9 steals. Injury Report: Chuck Kersgeiter had the cast removed from his broken hand, but will be out for at least another three weeks, which probably means the rest of the season...Curt Foster has missed four games with a bruised shoulder.

Ladies face Langston in Saturday match-up

Player of the Week Keith Russell, 5-11 starting guard for the Bronchos, gets the nod for the Player of the Week from the staff of The Vista. Russell has been, according to Broncho head coach, Buddy Armstrong, the most consistent offensive threat for the Bronchos since Chuck Kersgeiter broke his hand over the holiday break. Russell scored a career high 30 points against the USA() Drovers going 13-of-18 from the field and 5-of-6 from the free throw line. Russell also scored over 400 points in his freshman year and according to Armstrong, is only the fifth player in CSU's history to do so. Armstrong had nothing but praise for Russell and said most of the other coaches in the conference have the same feelings. "Russell is our second leading scorer this year," Armstrong said. "I think he is one of the best point guards in District 9 and a lot of the other coaches always praise Russell after the ballgame." Armstrong said Russell had an excellent team spirit and called him a "playmaker." "Keith really makes things hap-

Keith Russell pen when he's on the court," Armstrong said. "He leads the team in assists and the team seems to play better when he's on the court. I just wish we had a few more like him." Armstrong said the Bronchos have gone downhill since the loss of Kersgeiter and that Russell and several others on the team have helped to hold the team together. "It really hurt us when we lost Chuck and the losses have been somewhat disappointing," Armstrong said. "But since we have such a young team I think we can expevt some big things from them next year." The Bronchos are made up of nine freshmen and 4 sophomores. They are the youngest team in the District 9.

Playing host to Langston this Saturday, the Lady Bronchos face a tough match-up, but head coach John Keely believes his gals can take the Lions if they run on them. "Langston has a quick ballclub, but they lack depth on the bench," Keely said. "They move the ball well, but I think we'll just have to run on them more to wear them down." Besides substituting from the bench more, Keely is expecting great things from one of his team's top players, Jackie Eckles. Eckles, a senior forward, is leading the team in scoring this year and one of the district's top scorers, averaging 15 points a game. The Langston game is an important game for the Bronchos for several reasons. While the Bronchos are currently in sixth place in the league, they face some stiff competition next week, facing Panhandle Monday night and

Bethany Tuesday night. Keely said he needs to win these ballgames in order to move up in the ranking. "Even though we are ranked sixth and the top eight go to the playoffs, I'd still like to move up to the top four and get that homecourt advantage," Keely said. Keely said the Bronchos are going to concentrate on their man to man defense against Langston and keep them off the boards. "We'll go one on one with them and try to keep them to one shot, blocking them out from the boards," Keely said. Women's note: Coach John Keely obtained his one hundredth career victory when the Lady Bronchos defeated Northeastern January 16. After last week's games, Keely's record stood at 103 wins and 75 losses. Keely is in his sixth year as a college coach. He spent two years as the head coach at

Northeastern where his teams were 42-43. He then spent a year with Southwestern Bell and then another year as the head coach at Edmond High School before he came to CSU in the fall of 1980. Now in his fourth year at CSU, Keely is 61-52, including a state and regional AIAW Division II championship and two straight appearences in post season play.

Langston poses test for Bronchos By Matthew Driskill Editor Coming off a devestating loss to Cameron in Lawton Tuesday night, the Bronchos head coach, Buddy Armstrong turns his attention to the Langston game this Saturday at the Broncho Field House. Armstrong said the Bronchos are really going to have to be on their toes to beat Langston. "Last year Langston really came around in the last part of the season," Armstrong said. "I went to see them play earlier this year and they didn't look that good, but they seem to be coming around again like last year and really playing well." Armstrong said the loss of Chuck Kersgeiter has really hurt his team this year, but he feels his

young squad can take the Lions if they hold together. Armstrong said he's expecting big plays from Keith Russell, one of the team's leading scorers, Cecil Thomas, an Oklahoma Baptist University transfer and Wes Franklin, a transfer from Oklahoma State. "We've got a young team, all of them are either freshmen or sophomores," Armstrong said. "Overall, I'm really pleased with the way the team has come together. Since we lost Chuck about three weeks ago we've dropped our record to 8-13. I think Langston is about 13-9 right now and they really seem to be playing good ball," Armstrong said. "We're just going to have to go out there and play hard to beat them." Last year the men were near the bottom of the district in team free throw percentage with 63.7 percent. This year, the Bronchos are hitting 68.5 percent, moving them up to sixth place in the district. The Bronchos have had six games of 75 percent or better and
