Accreditation loss Could spell tragedy By Kim McConnell Last in a series When the North Central Association (NCA) team returns in November, one result of their visit may be a recommendation for probation or a loss of accreditation for CSU, something not many higher learning institutions have experienced. It is possible CSU may experience either one. "They didn't put us on probation when they were here in 1979, but they did give us a warning," said Norman Russell, a member of the CSU probation committee.
.
CSU could be put on probation or lose its accreditation all together. According to Russell, institutions are put on probation for specific periods of time to correct problems that NCA committee has found fault with. In instances where these problems have not been corrected, or significant progress has not be made, that institution could lose its accreditation. "That rarely happens," Russell said. "I don't know of any school that has lost it." Once a learning institution loses its accreditation, it will face many problems, according to Russell.
Loss of accreditation could mean the death of an institution. "If the university loses its accreditation, a student's degree will not be worth very much. Every college must be accredited by an association; ours is North Central. If the school is not accredited, other institutions won't accept their degrees," Russell said, adding that this would be particularly bad for students planning on attending graduate school or applying for jobs where a degree is a vital prerequisite. Loss of accreditation could also spell the death of a university . Enrollment would drop,
Russell said, because students would have no need for a useless degree. He added, however, that while students in the midst of a program would suffer greatly at the loss, faculty members would probably not experience any great hardships. The problem would not reflect poorly on their teaching abilities, only the university as a whole. Russell said he felt the NCA team was very fair to the university, particularly since no probation was issued in 1979. According to Anne Lynch, president of the Faculty Senate, the NCA team will have three options when they return in November. They may give the all clear signal for university accreditation, they may recommend a period of probation, or they may recommend loss of accreditation.

High winds gusts are a common occurance in Oklahoma, and this week was no exception. For two days, the campus was battered by high wind gusts that made walking to class difficult and any type of outdoor activity next to impossible. The tennis courts next to the ROTC building, which had been busy with the unseasonably warm weather central Oklahoma has been experiencing, show the abuse of the wind as they stand empty.
Appeals system to be updated By Irene Black A proposal is being developed whereby the recourse of a student who has a complaint concerning academic policies or grading systems may be handled more effectively, according to Anne Lynch, president of the Faculty Senate. A longer period of time will be given after the incident to file a complaint and some of the steps a student must go through before the matter is resolved will be eliminated. The new procedure should be ready for implementation by the beginning of the fall semester, Lynch said. At the present time, if a student has an academic complaint, there are several procedures he may follow, according to Dr. Odus Rice, assistant vice president in charge of academic affairs. If the student is still not satisfied, the next step is to go to the department chairman. If the problem is not resolved at this level, the student should go to the dean of that school and

if he needs to go further, the next person to contact is Dr. Patrick Cassens, vice president of academic affairs. The final step would be to go to Larry Williams, vice president of administration and director of personnel. Dr. Dudley Ryan and Mrs. Deanna Land, assistant deans of students, will help students in any grievances or complaints other than academic, Rice added. According to Dr. James Perry, dean of the School of Business, his school has had a petition committee since July, 1977, with the exception of a short time in the fall of 1981. The petition committee is composed of the heads of the five business departments and two student representatives. If the student feels he has a legitimate complaint, he should go to Dr. Perry's office and obtain a onepage set of instructions. The student is encouraged to, first, talk to his professor. The second step is to schedule a conference with the department chairman and the third step is to speak to Dr. Perry . The student is expected to identify his grievance in writing, explain how he feels he was wronged and the solution in writing, that he ultimately seeks. This form is presented to the petition committee. The committee will interview the student and faculty involved and they may also interview witnesses. The student may have his attorney present and the University will
have its own legal council. The committee will make a written recommendation to Dr. Perry, who will rule in the case. Since July, 1977, eight to ten cases have been heard by the committee, said Dr. Perry. The committee has rendered in favor
of the student as well as the faculty, he added. The school of nursing has its own grievance committee, according to Sue Driskell, secretary to Dr. Barbara Henthorn, chairperson of the Department of Nursing.
Cronin to present series of lectures Dr. Thomas E. Cronin, considered by some political scholars to be the leading academic authority on the presidency , will be presenting a series of lectures dealing with U.S. presidency and leadership Feb. 1-3 in the Liberal Arts Auditorium. Cronin, who is also known for his work "The State and the Presidency," one of the best known general textbooks on the subject, is being presented as part of the Colloquium of Distinguished Scholars and Statesman, cosponsored by the Department of Political Science, the Bureau of Governmental Affairs and President Bill Lillard. "His real area of expertise is the presidency," said Leroy Crozier, chairman of the political science department. "He will be able to deal intelligently with the Reagan recommendations on the federal system. With the era of new federalism, we need some-
one who can talk with expertise on the national government." Cronin is a native of Massachusetts and earned his PhD in political science from Standford University. A former White House Fellow and White House aid in the mid-1960, he has also served on the staffs of the Brooking Institution, the Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions and the Aspen Institute. He also serves as presidentelect of the Presidency Research Group, an affiliate of the American Political Science Association, and has served as a delegate and platform committee member at the 1980 Democratic national convention. Cronin is being presented as part of a series of lectures designed to give students an opportunity to meet and talk with some of the leading people in politics, Crozier said.

Opinion Page God pretty good crutch To the Editor: A writer asks why the need for so many religions to represent one "perfect being." Assuming that the "perfect being" he or she refers to is God, there are a number of reasons. The Bible is such a vast and extensive manuscript, it is virtually impossible for everyone who reads it to get the exact same opinions. I believe that because of this, we have the Methodist, Catholics, Baptists, etc., who all, despite difference in dogma, believe that Christ is the son of God and our savior. Another reason lies in the structure that has made this country so great the freedom to believe however you wish. The writer also recommended that "religious people" keep their religion to themselves and worship in their churches. While it is true that we are saturated with a great deal of religious material, phony or sincere, Christians believe that they have found the answer to life's problems through Jesus Christ and they have a duty to share it. Finally, the writer remarked that many people use religion as a crutch. I'm the first one to admit I use it as a crutch because I can't handle all the problems of life like God can. And in my way of thinking, when you are crippled, a crutch is a pretty good thing to have.

Editorial
Forced attendance for children Mandatory attendance. Forced attendance. The words conjure up an image of elementary and secondary school, with children dutifully filing into class as the bell rings. Conditioned reflex was the name they gave it in high school psychology. Forced attendance in public schools, where the public is financing education, is acceptable, if not expected, particularly when children are involved. Society generally agrees that children must have help in making decisions. In this case, the decision has been taken away from them. This same decision has also been taken away from the adults on the college level. We are adults. Check the laws, the legal age in Oklahoma is 18 and most people in college are at least that age. We are adults and yet we are treated as children. Children can and should be complelled to attend class for their own sake. Adults are mature enough to make that decision for themselves. We deserve to be allowed to decide for ourselves whether or not to attend class. According to the 1977-80 CSU General Catalog, "All students are expected to attend all sessions, (lecture and laboratory) of the classes in which they are enrolled...Unless absences are due to illness or other unavoidable reasons, passing grades may not be given when students have been excessively absent..." Just what constitutes excessive absences? For many instructors three to five missed sessions are reason enough to drop the student one letter grade. These instructors have different methods for calculating letter drops thereafter. It is also worth noting that
exceptions of death in the immediate family or severe illness on the part of the student are the only acceptable excuses. Isn't it just a little silly, not to mention embarrassing, as an adult to have to try to justify an absence to an instructor? Take a look at some of the students. In many cases, these people missing classes are just as old, if not older, than the instructors who are chastising them. What's wrong with adopting a "come when you want" policy? Some instructors on campus have one. Roll is called and absences are duly marked for administrative purposes, but the student is not penalized for not attending classes. The burden of whether or not to attend classes placed on the student, where it belongs. The teacher is left to continue to instruct, his job. He is not forced to play grade school custodian. Some criticize this policy as being
harmful to the grading system. Harmful to whom? Serious students will make every effort to attend class whether they are forced to or not. Students attending classes for the fun of it will continue to cut class. However, serious students who have more than the set limit of class-missing crisises come up — mothers of children or full-time employees on pecular schedules — will be able to miss class without feeling guilty or fearing for their grade. Mandatory attendance is an outdated system and it should be done away with. Students who are paying good money out of their own pockets to attend classes don't deserve it and good instructors don't need it. We don't need it. Get rid of it. We're adults. Let us take responsibility for our own actions without getting penalizing.

Partner not in college To the Editor: The black or chalk board has been a steady partner throughout my school years. In math class at Jarman Junior High, it frightened me with the possibility of being chosen to work equations on it. Now, I find my partner is not being used by many of my instructors in college. Most instructors come in, call roll and then comes the racing of the pens for one hour of pure lecture, this being done by oral revision of three to five year-old notes. Nothing is wrong with that, but the blackboard is totally forgotten.
The blackboard is a major tool in the classroom. It may be used to spell the
name correctly, follow the history of sociology, or clarify the working of the laws of the land. A class can relate more through a blackboard than through rushing pens and bent heads. The good teachers will know what I mean. Give us a chance, we aren't speed writers. But if this is to continue, sophomores should be required to take shorthand as a general education course.

Korean calls U.S. home
Pinning the gold bars on the shoulders of Steven Lee are his wife, Toni, (left) and his mother, Mrs. Donna Lee. Steve, a business finance major and distinguished military graduate of CSU's ROTC department, was commissioned Jan. 20 as a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army Military Police Corps. Lee is attending his branch officer basic course at Ft. McClellan, Ala., and upon completion will be stationed in Germany.
By Twyla Cowan When people ask CSU junior, Tina D'Innocenzo, where she's from she doesn't quite know how to answer them. D'Innocenzo is an American Oriental who was born in Korea. D'Innocenzo was living in an orphanage when her father Phillip D'Innocenzo, an Italian from Brooklyn, N.Y. adopted her. "He was a staff sergeant in the Air Force" said D'Innocenzo. "When he was in Korea he went through an adoption agency to adopt children. My mother was at their home in Guam at the time and by seeing pictures provided by the adoption agency, they adopted me and my brother Ronald. D'Innocenzo was 11 months

old at the time and her brother was two. "We were both living in the orphanage, but came from different families," commented D'Innocenzo. There were no records of what happened to our origional families or why we were in the orphanage." While D'Innocenzo's father was still in the Air Force the D'Innocenzo family moved to Oklahoma after living in Guam. In 1964, D'Innocenzo became an American citizen. The D'Innocenzo's moved to Spain for 2 years. Since D'Innocenzo has been in the U.S. she's lived in Oklahoma and Kansas. After graduating from high school in Salina, Kansas, D'Innocenzo moved back to Oklahoma to Shawnee where he family lives now. "I've had some trouble being Korean and living in America,' said D'Innocenzo. "People take for granted that I'm foreign. They don't know how to act around me sometimes." While attending her first year at Connors State Jr. College before she came to CSU, D'Innocenzo was one out of two Orientals on campus. "People there knew that I was American." said D'Innocenzo. "Here at CSU the majority of Orientals are international. Most people take for granted that I'm international." Although D'Innocenzo is Korean she never spoke the language.
"One time I had a guy come up to me and start rattling off in his language. I didn't know what to do." Also, being an Oriental woman is hard sometimes in a society geared for American women. "The makeup on models you see in the magazines all are for big eyed and long lashed women." said D'Innocenzo. "Sometimes it's hard fitting in the catagory." For D'Innocenzo, being an American is all she is really knows. Presently she works at Arby's. "People make jokes sometimes, said D'Innocenzo. "Especially when the cafetaria serves Oriental food. I don't even like Oriental food." "In high school I had nicknames like Tokyo, China doll, dragon lady and some other ones I really didn't care for." "I've never had any Oriental influence in my life," said D'Innocenzo. It's hard to know what to do sometimes." As far as her future goes, D'Innocenzo doesn't feel that she will marry in an Oriental culture. "I don't feel I'll marry an Oriental said D'Innocenzo. "I'll probably marry an American." Although D'Innocenzo is proud of who she is, troubles still come her way as a result of it. "I just thank God for parents to adopt me" said D'Innocenzo. "I could been a lot worse off.

Debate squad ranked among top ten schools The Central State University debate squad, under the direction of Coach Doug Duke, is currently ranked eighth nationally by the Cross Examination Debate Association, behind such national powers as Brigham Young University and University of California at Los Angeles. Every college and university in the country which competes in the CEDA division is considered in the point tally, which is based on the number of debate rounds a squad wins at any given tournament.
CSU, which has moved up from its original designation as 23rd in the nation, is the only Oklahoma school presently in the top ten. "It's an honor we've really worked for," said Duke. "We're competing in a division that is relatively new in our district, but the West Coast has been involved in CEDA for some time." Spring season plans for the CSU squad include at least three more invitational tournaments and participation in the CEDA National Tournament in Reno, Nevada in April.

Fast food OK With a choice between rice cassarole or chicken on rice, many CSU students find themselves eating lunch in one of the local "fast food" resturants. For some time now, there has been arguments about whether fast foods were healthy or unhealthy and they have often been confused with junk food. With much research, experts have found that fast foods are not necessarily junk food. Food becomes junk food when it contains too many calories for the amount of nutrients. Cafeteria meals can become "junk meals" if the consumer thrives on French fries and chocolate pie. In a study of Consumer Reports, one-third of the daily necessary nutrients were found in an average fast food meal (hamburger, french fries, and a shake). One-half of the calories recommended for women and children were found and slightly less than half for men. Even though most fast foods are higher in fat and sodium, they are not considered "off limits" if the right foods are eaten and the french fries and shakes are skipped. More fast foods were rated good than were judged good. However, the majority of students still stick with the cafeteria simply becaus it's already paid for, or they have no transportation anywhere else, or they are satisfied with the cafeteria food. Besided, some still respect their mother's advice, "If you eat your vegetables you'll grow up to be big and strong."

ROTC schedule busy
for spring army cadets
By Patrick M. Bailey Adventure and an enhanced social life are the key ingredients to the spring semester schedule for the Military Science Department. But what is more significant is that most of the planning for the events is conducted by the corps of cadets. "Cadets are responsible in assisting in the planning and the conduct of most of the activities," said Maj. William Bache, assistant professor of military science and Commandant of Cadets at CSU. "Many, such as the social events, they'll do pretty much themselves." The cadets are challenged with organizing an array of events this semester. On the adventure and military training side of the house, the CSU Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) will aid in the coordination for weekend mountaineering and outdoor survival field training exercises, which are the final exams" of two mini-labs offered by the department.

In February, March and April the military science students will be coordinating support for a Special Forces Field exercise at Ft. Chaffee, Ark. that will occur one weekend each month. If weather permits, a ceremony for the presentation of the George C. Marshall Award, given to the outstanding cadet of the year, is planned for Feb. 11 in Thatcher Lake. Senior cadets will also be conducting classes in basic soldier skills for junior students every Tuesday morning. Considered the social highlight of the season for the corps, the military ball on Mar. 27 in the University Center will be the exclusive project of the third year military science class. The first major calendar event for the semester will be Fausching, a party conducted in the style of German tradition, on Feb. 26. Cadet Darla Dunlap, an oral communications major and executive officer of CSU's corps of cadets, sees the responsibility of planning the activities as a rewarding experience. "This gives us a chance to display leadership abilities and to organize, direct and work with other people, as well as an opportunity to explore themselves," said Dunlap. Maj. Bache commented, "The student, whether he or she stays with ROTC gets a benefit. They get a chance to measure themselves against reality by taking the theory that they learn in college and applying it to real world decision making problems." Robert (Bo) Sommers, an oral communications major and a cadet non-commissioned officer, saw the events, which are opened to any student enrolled in military science, in a different light by saying, "They break the monotony

Feb. math and science month By Joanne Garrett The excitement of discovery will reign at the CSU School of Mathematics and Science when students explore the universe through special guest lectures, displays, films and demonstrations during "Mathematics and Science Month" in February. "The two main purposes are to give our own students some attention through the variety of programs held for them and also to communicate with high schools the opportunities in math and science at CSU," said Dr. D.S. Carlstone, CSU physics chairman. To begin "Mathematics and Science Month," a free public lecture will be given on the topic "Of Stars and Men — The Evolution of the Sun and the Origin of Life" Feb. 1, in Howell Hall. Dr. R.

for the Harlow Shapley Visiting Lecturship Program of the American Astronomical Society. CSU applied for the honor of receiving Robbins, associate professor of astronomy, from the University of Texas at Austin. Robbins will also speak to Sigma Xi, a professional scientific research organization, at 12:30 p.m., Feb. 2, in Howell Hall. "Unsolved Problems in Astronomy" is also free and open to the public, but will be presented at a more technical level than the Monday lecture. CSU will host Oklahoma City area high schools Feb. 5, which has been designated "Mathematics and Science Day." During the morning, high school students will have a chance to visit college classes or attend selected workshops and short courses. A luncheon funded by the CSU Foundation, Inc. will be provided for the high school students. The luncheon speaker will be Dr. Paul G. Schmidt, associate member of the Laboratory of Protein Studies at the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation. His topic will be "Non-Invasive Monitors of Biochemical Processes in Humans and Other Animals." In the afternoon, students will be treated to "Open House" in the biology, chemistry, physics and mathematics departments. Open laboratories, demonstrations and career talks will be featured. A chemical magic show, nuclear radiation lab, a display of Oklahoma mammal skins and skulls and computer demonstrations are some of the planned demonstrations. College students are also welcome to attend these free sessions.
"We invited serious high school students who are interested in science," said Dr. David Hart, dean of the School of Math and Science. "We are pleased at the response and optimistic we will have an impressive series of events." The Health Sciences Club is planning a blood drive Feb. 8 and 9 in conjunction with "Mathematics and Science Month" activities. They will also host guest lecturers throughout the month. The Society of Physics Students is sponsoring a film festival with a film to be shown every Thursday at 12:30 p.m. in Howell Hall. Other campus organization participants in "Mathematics and Science Month" are the Chemistry Club, Mathematics Club and Sigma Pi Sigma, physics honor society. Dr. Norman Russell, American Association of University Professors Distinguished Scholar and CSU professor of biology and creative studies, will deliver a lecture at 3 p.m. on Feb. 16 in the Liberal Arts auditorium. The reception will begin at 2:30 p.m. in the Liberal Arts auditorium foyer. The Oklahoma section of the American Chemical Society will hold their monthly meeting at CSU Feb. 19. The guest speaker, Dr. Nissin Calderon of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co. , will be speaking on Mechanistic Aspects of Olefin Metathesis. The School of Mathematics and Science is planning other events for the month. More information about the month activities may be obtained by contacting the dean's office in the CSU School of Mathematics and Science.

3 actors nominated for award at regionals By Melissa Vierheller To a participant of the American College Theatre Festival, being nominated for an Irene Ryan Acting Scholarship Acting Award could be compared to being nominated for a Tony Award. Three CSU drama students competed for the coveted awards at the Regional Theater Festival in Ft. Worth, Jan. 18-22 with two students finishing in the top ten. The festival is part of the
American College Theatre Festival. For the fourteenth year the festival is seeking to honor and encourage college students everywhere to take an active part in college theater as writers, designers, performers, directors, and as audience members. Jean Cafky of Norman, Scott Gordon of Oklahoma City and Chuck Huddleston of Midwest City joined 105 nominees from a five-state area to vie for the scholarship which is awarded to one

Rogers named Jan. artist
Rob Rogers
Rob Rogers, son of Dr. and Mrs. Robert M. Rogers, Pittsburgh, Pa., has been selected as the January Artist of the Month by the art department at CSU. A graduate of Edmond High School, Rogers' work, an oil painting, will be on display in the office of the university president, Dr. Bill Lillard. Rogers, who plans to receive his bachelor's degree in fine arts and painting this spring, was
awarded a special scholarship from the Edmond Art Association. "The painting to be displayed is a self-portrait," said Rogers. "It is the second self-portrait I've composed," he said, "painted directly from a mirror image of myself." Although he enjoys working with oil paints, Rogers said he has a special interest in drawing cartoon caricatures. He has

held at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C. Two of the 12 regional winners are awarded $2500 scholarships to be used in any field of study at the college of their choice. Since 1972, two CSU students have represented our region at the national festival. Only one other school in our region shares this honor. According to Dr. Lee Hicks, CSU Theatre Director, who was in charge of conducting the Ft. Worth Festival, more schools participated than ever before. Hicks added that many feel the Irene Ryan competition was the outstanding aspect of-the festival. "The program serves as a foundation for better college theater and is also a good teaching experience for a student actor or actress interested in professional theater." The Irene Ryan Scholarship Foundation was set up by the late Irene Ryan who is best known for her role as Granny on the TV series "The Beverly Hillbillies."

There, the Bronchettes will be in competition with Panhandle State, Langston and East Central for a spot in the AIAW regionals in Texas.

Crosby to finally pull in front 70-69. Crosby was fouled on the play and the resulting free throw gave the Bronchos a two point cushion. A basket by Craig Thomas put the Bronchos safely on top as the two teams exchanged baskets with CSU, sinking three free throws in the final 51 seconds to clinch the victory. CSU could do nothing right in the first half as the Bronchos hit just 44.7 percent of their shots from the floor. Langston hit only 39.5 percent, but numerous Broncho turnovers enabled the Lions to take a sizeable lead. Langston also out rebounded the Bronchos for the game by a 33-22 count. They were led by Floyd Wiley with nine rebounds and 17 points and Carl Bentford with 22 points. Kendal Cudjoe was the hot man for CSU as he canned nine of fifteen fieldgoal attempts for 20 points.

Spotlight on sports By Robert Slankard Sports Editor Well, it's that time of year again, Of course I'm talking about that period that strikes all die-hard football fanatics like myself. . .Post Super Bowl Depression. For those who are not familiar with the phrase, it takes in the months between the last few seconds of the pro bowl until the opening of pre-season games. I call it the dark ages. With the last organized football game until September staring me in the face, it become necessary to find some other form of amusement for the next seven months. At CSU it's easy because of all the other fine sports and teams the school fields. For those who like more of an individual type of sport, there is Francis Baxter's tennis teams or the very successful golf team. Right now Eddie Evans and John Keely's basketballers are winding down their season while
Jerry Pinkston's softball team and Bobby Hunt's baseball team is breaking out the hardware for this year's season. And for the arm chair athletes, Tom Hollis has a very active intramurals program under way. All in all, it beats the long winter months I usually spend in Tulsa trying to figure out what the Tulsa Roughnecks are doing. For the uninformed, the Roughnecks are Tulsa's answer to Oklahoma City's professional women's football team, but with two exceptions. The Roughnecks play professional soccer and all players are of the male variety, although the female sex could be a lot more fun to watch. Tulsa's exciting, highpowered offense (two goals if they're lucky) features a very ballanced attack, nobody scores. A typical score is 1-0, which is also usually the fan-to-player ratio when they start losing late in the season. I know this has nothing to ao with CSU, but when it's sunny and 66 degrees outside one's

Charles Crosby (42) was named the NAIA District Nine Player of the Week for his performances against OCC, Cameron and Bethany Nazarene last week.
USA() hands Broncs fifteenth loss of year The Bronchos finally played a strong opening half of basketball Tuesday night in a contest against USA() in Chickasha, but unfortunately CSU went to sleep at the half and went down to a 73-61 defeat. CSU held a slim 31-30 halftime lead and appeared to be in good shape considering the Bronchos had lately fallen into the practice of playing very strong in the second half. But that was not to be the case this time as the Drovers used early turnovers to jump out to a 36-31 lead in the opening minutes of the second half. USAO led by as many as nine at one point, but with under four minutes left in the game, the Bronchos managed to cut that lead down to five. However, the Dovers stormed right back and put the game out of reach for the Bronchos, who dropped to 7-15 on the year. CSU was led by Kendal Cudjoe has broken the 20 points, the second time in as many games that Cudjoe has broken the 20 points barrier. Steve Austin had 11 and Brent Alford had nine, but Charles Crosby, who had been Mr. Everything for the Bronchos lately, was held to just eight points, along with Craig Thomas. The Dovers were led by Earl Williams with 24 points and Herbert Allen with 16.
There was some bright news in the Broncho camp however as Crosby was named this week's District Nine Player of the Week. The Fairfax senior had 16 points in last Monday's upset of fifth-ranked Oklahoma Christian and a near-record 42 points in Thursday's loss to Cameron. He ended the week with 27 points against Bethany Nazarene. With last week's explosion, Crosby now leads the Bronchos in scoring at 16.8 points per game, not including the USA() contest. He also tops the charts in rebounding with 8.4 per game. Crosby is second on the team in blocked shots with 16 and leads in field goal percentage, hitting at a 61.6 clip. Cudjoe is second in scoring with 15.2 points and leads the team in free throw shooting as in steals and assists with 40 and 100. He is hitting 44.8 percent from the floor and 72.6 percent from the line. Steve Austin is third in scoring at 11.4 per game and second in rebounding with 6.2. He is also second in steals with 20. Thomas is fourth on the team with nine points per game and third in rebounding at 5.9 . He also leads the team in blocked shots with 17. The Bronchos next game will be Saturday night when they play host to Phillip University at 7:30

mind, especially if it's the distorted and corroded mind of a sports editor, tends to wander and ramble on. But no matter what one's fancy may be, the CSU athletic department probably has a team in some sport that would coincide with everyone's interest. The crowd factor is often overlooked, but particularly at this time of year, when the city papers may not give certain teams as much coverage as many of the fall sports. Because of this, it is essential that the student body at CSU get off it's rear and support the athletic teams at CSU.
