Buildings darkened by work

Advisory group nears completion of degree report

Parts of CSU were plunged into darkness Friday as workmen for Edmond Electric installed a new transformer behind Howell Hall.

The old transformer had burned out as a result of age.

Nimrod Chapel, head of maintenance for CSU, said that it is not unusual for the transformers, known as a 2400 stepdown, to be replaced.

"They burn out when they start getting older," Chapel said. "Actually there are a number of things that happen to them that can make them burn out. They could get hit by lightenning or a number of things, but usually they just get old and worn out."

Chapel also clarified the fact that the transformer had not actually been replace but had been rewound which was likend to going through a car engine and replacing the worn out parts.

Chapel said the cost of replacing the transformer was approximately $900.

It was noticed that when the workers began to set the new transformer in place, they had a small problem in remembering which part of the transformer faced out and which faced inward.

After a little manuvering and a few asides from the "sidewalk supervisiors" that were clustered around the workers, they managed to place the transformer correctly.

Workers from the electric company swing the new 2400 stepdown transformer into place Friday. Power was off in a number of buildings as the electricity had to be shut off during the work.

Draft bill hits House

By Tom Kemper Capitol Bureau Reporter State Representative Gean Atkinson has filed a bill requiring a statement of Selective Service registration as a requirement for application for guaranteed student loans. The bill, HB 1629, amends the current statute to bring it into line with current federal regulation.

The measure is dissimilar to one filed several years ago in that it carries no enforcement or reporting procedures, according to Rep. Atkinson.

Vol. 82, No. 34

The previous bill failed in the Sherrie Hancock, of the CSU House because many thought that financial aids office, points out it would involve too much time that CSU requires such a state and expense to the institutions ment for both federal loans and involved. state guaranteed loans, even "The requirement could be though only the federal is handled with something as simple required.

as a rubber stamp on existing Hancock states that nonforms," says Atkinson. compliance with the procedure "The purpose of the bill is to "will definitely slow down the approvide an incentive for register- plication process." ing," continued Atkinson, "which the country needs in case Atkinson says that he finds it of national emergency, and to hard to believe that people have place the person on record as to said that the bill is discriminatory whether they have registered or to students. not."

"In the first place," he says, "failure to register is a criminal act. Making false statements on a federal form is perjury."

Atkinson feels that many young men don't understand the seriousness of their obligation, and that his bill will help them to make up their mind about registering.

The CSU financial aids office is currently processing approximately $800,000 $900,000 in state and federal loans.

A comprehensive review of bachelor's degree and admission requirements in State System colleges and universities is under way and nearing completion, according to a report released by the State Regents for Higher Education.

The State Regents' Council on Instruction, an advisory group representing the 27 public colleges and universities in Oklahoma, is expected to make a final report and recommendation to the Regents next month.

Dr. Dan Hobbs, Senior Vice Chancellor for Planning and Policy Research, told the State Regents at their Jan. 25 meeting that the council's recommendation would refine and strengthen academic standards in both areas.

The council has already adopted a series of principles and guidelines, Hobbs said, for bachelor's degree programs, including description of the general education components that should go into all students' programs of study, description of the several types of bachelor's degrees, and a series of nine specific requirements for bachelor's degrees.

In addition, the council will review the admissions standards for State System institutions prior to the State Regents' Feb. 22 meeting.

The tentative requirements for the bachelor's degree include 120 semester credit hours of course work, excluding military education and physical education activity courses; a minimum of 40 semester hours of upper-division (junior and senior level) courses; 30 hours of resident credit at the awarding institution; a minimum of 40 hours of general education; a minimum of 30 hours of courses in the student's major field (with half at the upper-division level); and an overall grade point average of 2.0 on a 4.0 scale.

Institutions would have the flexibility to add other requirements with the State Regents' approval such as foreign language competence for bachelor of arts graduates, "capstone" general education courses or general written or oral examinations prior to students' graduation.

A further requirement suggested is that 15 of the final 30 hours of a student's baccaleaurate program be taken at the institution that confers the degree.

The proposed general education requirements for the bachelor's degree include courses from the following areas: 1. Communication and Symbols (English, foreign language, speech, mathematics, logic, statistics and computer science).

2. Social, Political and Economic Institutions (sociology, political science, economics, agriculture, philosophy, and consumer business).

3. Understanding Nature and Man's Place Therein (natural and physical sciences, experimental psychology, health and physical education, nutrition and developmental psychology) 4. Understanding Human Heritage and Culture (history, political science, philosophy, anthropology, archeology, cultural geography, language (modern and ancient), humanities, history, cultural studies, music, art, drama and dance).

5. Values and Beliefs (philosophy, literature, music and art history, history and philosophy of science, humanities, sociology, world religions, psychology and ethics).

Institutions would assign courses within the framework of the areas described in the policy statement.

The goal of the general education program would be to develop in students the facts, values, understandings, skills, attitudes and appreciations to enable them to function as rational, productive citizens in society.

Prior to consideration by the State Regents, the recommendations of the Council on Instruction on bachelor's degree requirements and admission standards will be reviewed by the presidents of State System institutions.

Opinion Page Blame placed on community Letter to the Editor: In the Jan. 31 issue of The Vista, I read with sadness and dismay of the resignation of an English professor. I do not condemn the action taken relative to the resignation; on the contrary, I am concerned that the university community accept this kind of tragedy without the slightest sense of guilt.

The problems experienced by this professor were related to his alcohol abuse ( so the article suggests). If that is the case, then why was he permitted to self-destruct? Why did not his "friends" realize that helping him meant calling attention to the reality of his situation? Why does not the university have a program or plan to treat these kinds of problems? As the television commercial suggests, "a mind is a terrible thing to waste."

The academic community is as much to blame as anyone for the loss of one of its members through the abuse of alcohol, drugs or any other element of abuse to the human body and mind.

In the midst of the crisis education is experiencing in Oklahoma, the necessity for some program or plan that addresses alcohol and drug abuse might be easily overlooked; however, if the problem is not given a full hearing and programs set in place, then the university community is its own worst enemy—it suffers from apathy and ignorance.

No simple solution for budget

By Tom Kemper Capitol Bureau Reporter A common, and somewhat angry question asked today is, "Where did the money go?"

The state's budget problems are too complex for any simple solutions, but

The Vista (LISPS 661-700) Editor Mathew Driskill Associate Editor . .MaryGaye Franklin Associate Editor Traci Baucom Circulation Manager .. Dahl McKinney Advertising Manager . Mollie Hancock Administrative Publisher Dr. Ray Tassin Director/Executive Editor Hank Mooney The Vista is published as a teaching instrument for journalism students under the Department of Journalism on Tuesdays and Thursdays throughout the regular school term, except during examinations and holidays, and on Thursday only during the summer term at 100 N.

assigning blame is equally complex.

Is it the fault of inept politicians, swilling at the public trough, or possibly the countless millions of folks on welfare, or the hundreds of engineers at the Department of Transportation trying to figure how much concrete it takes to make a highway come out even?

Is it political philosophy getting in the way of common sense, or just plain thievery?

All of the above may, or may not be true assessments of the situation, but what of voter apathy?

The belief of many citizens that their vote is ineffective, that they cannot make their needs known to public officials is inaccurate.

The belief of the people that politicians have power and citizens do not is inaccurate.

Jimmy Breslin, newspaperman and author, writes that political power is an illusion. If a man is perceived to have power, then he has it. If he is perceived not to have power, then he does not have it.

Breslin likens it to a room full of smoke surrounded by mirrors, and the most astute politicians know how to tilt the mirrors to show the people the smoke.

Real power is at the ballot box, and is rarely used.

In 1966, Dewey Bartlett was elected on a platform based largely on a program of no new taxes. He kept his campaign promises, and when David Hall was elected four years later, Hall found himself with an upcoming budget crisis.

Hall did little for his political career by raising state revenues enough to pay the state's bills. It seemed the folks wanted the same services for less money.

On August 3, 1982, State Question 559 appeared on the ballot, proposing a trust fund of revenues set aside by the legislature, and administered by the Governor, the Lt. Governor, the State Treasurer, and two others to be chosen, as an emergency fund for the future.

The electorate, content in the knowledge of record revenues from the gross production tax on oil, and not perceiving it would not go on forever, voted it down.

The amount to be set aside would have increased to a figure very close to the deficit now faced by the state, according to Sen. Phil Watson.

In the most recent Edmond school board election, four percent of eligible voters turned out.

The real power of government is held by an informed, active electorate, not by blue smoke.

Today's students remain positive about America Letter to the Editor: In last Thursday's issue of The Vista, J. Fioiavanti commented on the apathy of today's college student. He drew comparisons between the activist, radical attitudes of the 70s and the passive attitudes of the 1984 college student. J. Fioiavanti made a serious flaw when he assumed that just because we do not burn effigies of our school president on a regular basis that there is nothing going on in our heads.

Things change and along with them, attitudes change. The activism of the 70s was not a result of smarter college students, rather it was the result of a war no American wanted and a general feeling of helplesness in what was supposed to be a representative democracy.

The turmoil of the 70's is over. College students and American citizens had their say. As a result, laws have been passed that go a long way toward preventing any more Vietnams.

Students also have a greater say in university decision making than they once had.

Today's student is interested in developing himself as an individual.

This generation of students tries to contribute to our country rather than erode the confidence in our country by rioting, sit down strikes and disrespect for anything and everything of authority.

Mr. Fioiavanti, what could we possibly gain from burning effigies of President Reagan when our international reputation is at such a low ebb already?

What would be the benefits of causing riots that drain our internal military resources when we need to save those resources for external aggression?

What would be the benefit of a campus-wide sit-down strike, just when our universities need the support of all the students because of the budget cuts?

Thank goodness my generation of students seek to strengthen America, rather than weaken her.

State,local, world news Satellite total loss The Westar VI satellite, which was lost after being launched from the space shuttle Challenger, was found Sunday, "completely healthy" but in the wrong orbit, leading an official to call it "a total loss".

A ground station in California succeeded in changing the satellites attitude so that its batteries could charge from the sun's energy, said Bill Ziegler, a spokesman for Western Union, which owns Westar VI. "As far as we know, we have a spacecraft (satellite) that's in the wrong orbit that's completely healthy," he said.

The satellite, representing a $75 million investment by Western Union, was ejected from the shuttle's cargo bay Friday. The satellite was, however, insured, the company said.

Ziegler said Westar VI could stay in orbit for years but he doubted whether any rescue was possible.

Lebanese officials resign Prime Minister Shafik Wazzan's nine-member Cabinet resigned Sunday, and President Amin Gemayel indicated he might scrap the May 17 troop-withdrawal agreement with Israel as demanded by his opponents.

Wazzan, a Sunni Moslem, said he and the eight other ministers were stepping down to allow formation of a national coalition government that might help end Lebanon's factional bloodshed.

After accepting the resignations, Gemayel, a Maronite Christian, called for a cease-fire and said he was inviting Lebanon's warring Moslem and Christian factions to Geneva for reconciliation talks Feb. 27.

Gemayel said he has drawn up a plan "for reforms" that would guarantee equal rights and power sharing among Lebanon's various communities.

Black Heritage Week activities begin Sun. Central State University will hold Black Heritage Week beginning Sunday, according to Kim Jones, assistant personnel director and coordinator for the Black Peer Center.

Activities begin with a special gospel concert 3 p.m. Sunday in the University Center Ballroom.

Among the groups performing will be the CSU Ebony Gospel Choir and other choirs from the University of Oklahoma, Northeast High School, Oklahoma City University and the Evangelistic Baptist Church.

Monday will feature the Cavannah H. Clark Awards Program, at 7 p.m. in the University Center.

Clark, who will be retiring soon, is an associate professor of curriculum and instruction and the only tenured black professor here.

The awards program will honor the outstanding black student, the outstanding black student leader and those black students who have been named to Who's Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges.

The featured speaker at the program will be Dr. Carole Hardeman, director of the Southwest Center for Human Relation Studies at the University of Oklahoma, according to Jones.

Dr. John Biggers, chairman of the art department for Texas Southern University will be on campus to discuss black art at 10:30 a.m. on Tuesday.

A "soul food" dinner is also planned for Tuesday from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. in the living room of the Home Economics building. The dinner will feature chitterlings, red beans, fried chicken and sweet potatoe pie.

A reception for Miss Black CSU contestants will be held at 7 p.m. Wednesday. The reception will take place in the Heritage Lounge of the University Center. The contestants also will participate in a fashion show.

A political activist forum will be held at 7 p.m.

Thursday in the Liberal Arts Auditorium. The topic

of the forum will be "Blacks in the Political Process", Jones said.

Taking part in the panel will be state representatives Freddye Williams, Kevin Cox and Don Ross.

Also on the panel are Shirley Darrell, Oklahoma County Commissioner; Angela Monson, Oklahoma NAACP president and Willie Batson, field representative for Senator David Boren.

Miss Black CSU will be crowned at 7 p.m. Saturday in the University Center Ballroom. Coeds with a 2.0 grade point average who are involved in campus activities have applied for the title.

A selection committee will screen the girls and select three. The student body will vote Thursday to select the first Miss Black CSU. A dance will be held following the coronation. Admission is $1 per person. All proceeds will go to the Sickle Cell Anemia Research Foundation.

Activities will continue Thursday with a play by Douglas Turner Ward entitled "A Day of Absence".

The play will be presented in the Liberal Arts Auditorium at 7 p.m.

Ward was the founder of the Negro Acting Ensemble which produced most of the black actors during the late '60s and early '70s, according to Jones.

Delta Sigma Theta Sorority will host the Sir Debonair contest Friday at 7 p.m. in the University Center.

The committee coordinating the week's activities is comprised of Lamona Evans, English professor; Linda Matthews and Calvin Fairbanks, academic advisers; Stephanie Williams, high schoolcollege relations representative and students Terrance Mitchell, Tonya Haywood, Lisa Farmer, Chris Alfred, John Price, Janet Williams, Renee Brown, Karol Dancy, Alasha Parker and Portia Love.

The Black Heritage Week has been sponsored by the university since the late 1960s, Jones said. Activities are open to all and are free with the exception of the dance following the coronation.

Jury chosen in rape case Jury selection began yesterday today in the trial of six men accused of raping a woman at Big Dan's tavern in New Bedford, Mass., while by-standers cheered.

The case has drawn national attention, and Judge William Young and defense and prosecution attorneys have taken some extraordinary steps to assure a fair trial.

Police said a 21-year-old mother of two was raped on a pool table in Big Dan's for two hours on March 6, 1983, after she entered the bar to buy a pack of cigarettes. Others in the bar made no attempt to come to her aid, but shouted encouragements to her attackers, authorities said.

Six men were arrested and charged in the rape.

Dinosaur bone found The largest dinosaur bone ever discovered in Southern California has been unearthed at a construction site in Carlsbad, Calif., a San Diego suburb, according to San Diego paleontologists.

The 3-foot-long upper thigh bone of a duckbill dinosaur is thought to be about 70 million years old, said Tom Demere, assistant curator of paleontology at the San Diego Natural History Museum. He said the bone is in excellent condition.

"It's a very important find because it shows us dinosaurs were living near here and what kind," Demere said. "It's the most complete and the oldest dinosaur bone ever found in Southern California."

Election delay protested Opposition parties in Managua, Nicaragua, protested Sunday a government decision to postpone preparations for elections because of two air raids last week on a military post in northern Nicaragua.

"The situation is serious, because we are pulling away from the possibility of having a democracy. We are still skeptical about the Sandista Front's promises to hold truly free elections," said Erick Ramirez, the secretary general of the Social Christian Party, in a telephone interview.

The Council of State, an appointed legislative body dominated by left-wing Sandistas, said the reason for its action were the raids by U.S.-made A-37 jet fighters Thursday and Friday that killed five soldiers and wounded 10.

GRE, GMAT required for grad programs

By Traci Baucom Associate Editor A recent ruling at Central State requires some graduate students to take degree tests before enrolling in the second semester of graduate school.

The tests are the Graduate Record Exam (GRE) for all Master of Education programs, a special economics test of the Graduate Record Exam for all Master of Arts in Economics students and the Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT) for all Master of Business Administration majors.

"We prefer the students take the tests before admission," Dr. Bill Fisher, dean of the graduate school, said. "The test is principally used for advisement purposes. One copy goes to the student's adiviser and the other to the student."

According to Fisher, these tests have always been required for these graduate students, but no time limit existed previously. Before, the students had to complete the test sometime during the course of their graduate program.

The benefit is the academic advisement office can learn from the tests where the student's weaknesses, if any, lie and thus counsel him to the best possible advantage, Fisher said.

"The Graduate Management Admissions Test is more or less a general scholastic aptitude test in the area of business," Fisher said. "It is pretty general though. It is not just specific business.

"In other words, just as with any test, average scores don't tell us much. But if a student makes an extremely high or a very low score, advisement knows where his strengths and weakneses are. Then the adviser can determine which courses the individuals need or don't need."

The GRE is the same thing, according to Fisher, a general aptitude test geared for Master of Education majors. The purposes are exactly the same.

Low test scores will not make a student ineligible for graduate school, Fisher said, unless the student had very low grades at the undergraduate level and has taken these tests before applying for graduate admission.

"The best way to prepare for these tests is to get a very good night's sleep and feel well when you take them," Fisher said.

In the past, the tests have been required for students with low grades who are applying for admission to graduate school here. The tests are also helpful for graduate internal research studies, according to Fisher.

These internal research studies have been used to determine if the students getting the highest test scores are really more successful than the students with the lowest test scores and how the scores correlate with grades at the graduate level, Fisher said.

All the tests are given in the counseling and testing center, AD210.

Students can call this office at 341-2980 ext. 215 to get the times and dates for the tests. A fee of $29 is required to take the GRE and the special economics GRE. The GMAT is $30.

"We plan to have over 30 students on the tour, but there will be room for 42," Rutherford said.

Students taking the tour will see beautiful Victorian homes of great literary authors and many famous buildings. Also scheduled are landmarks of the seventeeth,

eighteenth, nineteenth centurys as well as of the middle ages.

The itinerary includes the first day in Canterbury Squares. From there they go to Salisbury to see the Wilton. Then off to the Berkeley Castle in Bath.

The trip will continue on to St. James Square, Russell Spuare, House-Spencer, Syon and George Eliot. The Culzean Castle and the Holyrood Castle in Charlotte Square will be an added feature, Rutherford said.

"We will be able to see some sites that wouldn't normally be open to us on a regular tour,"

Rutherford added.

This is Rutherford's first attempt to put a tour like this together.

"So far it has been a success.

The people involved are very excited about the trip because it isn't only English but is very much history," Rutherford said.

The price of the trip is $1,689.

This includes accommodations in twin bedded rooms with private

Pulitzer play in the works The drama department will produce the Pulitzer Prize winning play, "Crimes of the Heart," February 9-11 and 16-18 .

Budget cuts forced the cancellation of the originally scheduled play, "The Belvedere Torso," according to Dr. Lee Hicks, director.

"We had planned to have playwrite Jeffrey Keeton on our campus as an adviser and consultant during the premiere of his new play," Hicks said.

"However, we no longer have the funds necessary to bring Keeton

here or to pay his expenses."

The rights to the Arizona writer's play have been sold to a professional company which will premiere "The Belevedere Torso," Hicks added.

"We are of course disappointed, but I think the audience will enjoy "Crimes of the Heart," Hicks said. "It is a family drama full of love, incident and southern Gothic humor."

Set in Hazlehurst, Miss., five years after Hurricane Camille, the drama focuses on a reunion of the three MaGrath sisters. Originally

"Students had many questions and were eager to explore the social and economic backround.

They had political questions that related to the trials and they wanted to know about the families of the people involved."

Kremm said she feels that the study of the history of witchcraft is like the study of any other historical phenomenon such as World War II. "In different cultures at different periods, witchcraft was very important, hence the need to increase the understanding of its significance," Kremm said.

According to Kremm the class is designed to show students how people throughout history have tried to explain what to them at the time was unexplainable.

"In the class I teach what people thought witchcraft was and what functions it had in a society," Kremm said. "We address the issue of what society fears and why.

"I talk about what kinds of

By MaryGaye Franklin Associate Editor The history of witchcraft course taught at CSU is not a sensationalist class and does not seek to espouse the teaching of witchcraft, according to Dr. Diane Kremm, associate professor of history.

"It is a social history class designed to dissect and understand witchcraft as it relates to us historically," Kremm said. "It is an attempt to examine the nature of witchcraft in various cultures and ages."

Kremm, who designed the class format four years ago is the instructor for the two hour course.

Kremm said the course grew out of the interest shown by students in her introductory American history classes.

"I noticed in my introductory classes when I got to the section dealing with colonial America and the Salem witch trials there was a high level of interest in the subject," Kremm said.

Scholarship available for chemistry majors

By MaryGaye Franklin Associate Editor A scholarship honoring the late Merle White has been established by the CSU chemistry department, according to Dr. Larry Westmoreland, chairman of the department.

White died Jan. 12, after a long bout with cancer.

"After Merle died we, as a department decided that a scholarship in his name would be an appropriate memorial for him," Westmoreland said. "His family agreed with our decision.

"We will be looking for a student who has provided outstanding service to the department in the form of research or other work within the department," Westmoreland said.

The first award will be for $100 and is to be presented Feb._28, at the second annual mathematics and science awards banquet. The recipient has already been chosen but the name will not be announced until the night of the banquet.

people were accused of being witches and what treatment was meted out to them, were they respected members of the community or were they people to be feared or exterminated.

"I also discuss what types of people were thought to be likely victims of witches."

According to Kremm one of the periods the class discusses is the middle ages.

"In Europe during the middle ages there was a high infant mortality rate and many people died of epidemic diseases and their life spans were very short," Kremm said. "There were also a number of natural disasters during this time.

"Their scientific knowledge was minimal so when they sought an explanation for why these things happened it seemed to them natural to look for a supernatural explanation.

"They tended to attribute these bad things that happened to them to witches seeking vengence on Christians."

According to Kremm, she spends some time on the contemporary witchcraft movement, but not a great deal.

"I am not sure that the class has a direct relationship to society today," Kremm said. "There are people today who claim to be practicing witches, some claim to be descendants of older witchcraft movements and some claim to date back to pagan fertility cults.

"Others claim to have sprung into witchcraft full blown without any past antecedents."

Kremm explained that she designed the class with both history and non-history majors in mind.

"I structured the class so that both types of people would be comfortable," Kremm said. "I

provide students with the historical backround that they need to understand what we are discussing in class.

"We have a good mixture of both history majors and nonhistory majors in the class. Some are taking it just to fill elective hours but most see it as an interesting subject," Kremm said.

"It arouses curiosity in some people and it looks more fun to them than some of the other history courses."

The textbook for the course is called History of Witchcraft, Sorcerers, Heretics and Pagans, Kremm said.

"I also require a review of one scholarly book on the subject," Kremm said. "This is the only outside reading that I require in the course."

Men, women split against Phillips

SPORTS

Bronchos still feeling loss

By Jimmy Nickell The Central State men's basketball teams have lost some big games at Oklahoma Christian College, but an individual the Bronchos lost in a pick up game there could have cost them more than just one game.

Chuck Kersgeiter, a sophomore from Edmond had helped the Bronchos to a quick start this season. He had averaeed over 16 points per game and 7.2 rebounds before he incurred an injury to his right hand. The injury has kept Kersgiter out of the starting line/up for almost a month.

Before the injury, CSU stood 7-7 for the season and appeared headed toward a possible spot in the NAIA District Nine play-offs.

Without Kersgeiter, the Bronchos have lost 10 of their last 11 games and it is not likely they will be playing in any post season tournaments.

If there is a bright note for CSU, Kersgeiter will likely be back in uniform this season. He

was due to start practice on Feb. 6 and if x-rays are positive on Feb. 10. he will play the next night against Langston.

Despite the loss of one of their key players, Coach Buddy Armstrong feels his team has made some strides this season and thinks that Kersgeiter is one of the main reasons.

"Kersgeiter has improved a great deal over the past year. If we can eet everyone to improve as quickly as he has, we'll be a very tough team the next couple of years," Armstrong said.

On the other hand, Kersgeiter feels that Armstrong has made it much easier for the Bronchos to improve this season.

"Coach Armstrong has installed such a positive attitude in us that we feel we can defeat any team we play," Kersgeiter stated.

He went on to say,"despite playing with mostly freshmen and sophomores, we beleive in each other, and that's a reflection of our coach."

By Jimmy Nickell

The Central State men's and women's basketball teams split a pair of games this past Saturday with Phillips University in Enid.

Despite being outmanned in almost every game, CSU had pulled of some big wins earlier in the season. Included in those wins was a victory over the 1981 National Champions, Bethany Nazerene. Wins like this seem to be expected by players such as Kersgeiter, and he expects more.

"We feel we are building a solid foundation for the future. With just a couple of more front line players, I feel we can play with anyone," Kersgeiter stated.

Carrie Tucker led CSU with 18 points. Jackie Eckels added 11 points, while seven other Lady Bronchos scored.

In the men's game, CSU started out very slow, falling behind 14-2 early on. Phillips built leads as large as 20 points.

The Bronchos were able to close the gap to six points early in the second half, mainly on the strength of a 1-3-1, half-court trapping defense.

Phillips was able to adjust to the press however, and built their lead back up to double digits and hung on for their victory.
