Herman crusades for freedom

Labor Camp prisoner relates stor

By Donald D. DeVault and Barbara A. Boatman Editors

"I knew that someday I would be free," stated Victor Herman as he related his experience in the Soviet Union, Wednesday night in the U.C. Ballroom.

Herman was a former prisoner in Stalin's system of forced labor camps from 1938 to 1948, when he was later paroled to Siberia and then banished to the Artic Circle, because of his illegal marriage to his Russian wife, Galina, which was against the terms of his parole.

"It was much harsher for Americans to believe the Soviet conditions seen through the American embassy. They just couldn't figure out how to make it look worse," stated Herman.

According to Herman, in 1931, the Ford Motor Company and 11 other American companies were building factories and teaching Russian workers how to build airplanes and make better metals and tractors, because Russia was considered a poor country, moneywise and lifewise.

However, it (USSR) was very rich in minerals which were underground in Siberia.

"It seemed to be a great new market (for American business).

In that bleak year of the depression, no one knew what communism really was, or what it would become," said Herman.

"This was another country, another system that needed our help and we certainly needed whatever money they would be able to pay us to get out of our depression.

"I don't really blame certain people that invested a lot of money. Others invested too much of the American tax money and never got a penny out of it (Soviet Union). They (Americans) would go broke today if they'd stop supporting the Soviet Union, thinking that someday they'll get something back—like Rockerfeller, who has the Chase Manhattan Bank in Moscow," commented Herman.

He explained that Rockerfeller's loans helped build their (USSR) military, unknown to Rockerfeller, American bankers and investors. He further explained that Rockerfeller gave them loans that seemed like a dream to Americans.

"Any money they (USSR) asked for was at six percent and they had to pay out within thirty years.

They didn't pay out in the last thirty years so they asked for another thirty years, Rockerfeller agreed. They'll (Americans) never get their money back. He (Rockerfeller) was investing heavily."

The United States and the western countries saw ways for free enterprise to sell their products.

"We were their scapegoat sent by the Ford Motor Company to help build the factory, place the machine tools where they were suppose to be and teach the Russians how to build `Model-A' Ford cars."

According to Herman, the industrialization period was a fiveyear-plan that was called the Fordalization of Russia.

"Everyone (in the Soviet Union) knew who Ford was, but they didn't know the President of the United States. But, Americans considered Harry Ford I an anticommunist. In his autobiography, he stated that anything the communist would ask for, he would be glad to give them free of charge. That doesn't sound very anti-communist to me, but then what did he know about politics?"

Herman met several people before his "false" arrest.

"I met a general that was interested in me, because I didn't

drink several toasts of Vodka to the great Stalin and other leaders." said Herman. "He asked me why I wasn't drinking, and I said, 'because where I come from, we have dry laws.' He ask-

ed me if I was an American and I said, 'yes.'

"Then he asked me what kind of airplane I could fly. I said, 'I couldn't fly an airplane.' He didn't believe me, and said, 'you can drive a car, so you must be able to fly a plane!'

Victor Herman, a former prisoner of Stalin's system of forced labor camps for ten years, recounted the harsh life he lived in the Soviet Union to a large crowd of Edmondites and students Wednesday night in the University Center's Ball Room.

"He (the young general, 26-years-old) was second in rank in the Red Army, and he asked me if I would like to learn how to fly.

I said, 'yes,' even though he didn't think or know that I was an American citizen."

Herman finished a three-year Russian flying school, which was considered the "best" in the Soviet Union, in one year because he had gone to a technical high school in Detroit.

"It was as good as any they had there, or any of the colleges at that time," said Herman.

He was allowed the freedom of the airport at any time of the day and fly any plane he wanted to.

"I flew all the German models and Russian models at that time, and then I flew the trophy planes they had (WW I planes)."

At the age of 19, Herman found an American parachute in a hangar and taught himself to parachute jump without any professional training. He was allowed to jump at his leisure.

"They asked me to jump at Aviation Day (Aug. 19, 1934), one of their great holidays, but that day I was not allowed, because I planned to break the world's record and they thought something might happen," said

Herman.

But on the sixth of September, at the age of 19, Herman jumped Continued to page 3

University waits for 'green light' on doctorate program

By Larry Miller Capital Bureau Reporter

It will be September or October before CSU officials learn if its first doctoral program will get the green light for the 1983-84 academic term.

President Bill Lillard submitted a proposal last week to the Board of Regents for Oklahoma Colleges for a doctorate program in creative writing.

Should it be approved, the doctorate program would be only the second funded for the state's six regional universities. Northeastern State University in Tahlequah has a doctorate program in Optometry.

"It was an informational presentation and I think it was received very positively," Lillard

said of Thursday's meeting. not be expensive to implement.

He said a formal presentation "You teach writing with a pen would be made to the State Board and paper," he said. "The costs of Regents this summer. More are not prohibitive. We already details need to be worked out, Lillard said.

The program would be headed

by Dr. Clif Warren, chairman of creative studies. It would be the first of its kind in the southwest.

"There is no doctorate of arts program in the southwest," Lillard said. "We would not be duplicating any other program."

have much of the equipment and faculty we want.

"We feel it would be a deserved feather in CSU's cap."

Duplication is one of the factors state regents use in determining if a program should be approved.

Higher Education Chancellor Joe Leone, a guest at the regents' meeting, said the program—along with a doctorate program submitted by Southwestern State University—was not in the budget for next year.

Leone said his office was not in a position to assure the two programs would get a recommendation.

Even if the proposal received a positive recommendation from Leone, it would still be contingent upon the amount of funding allocated by the Legislature next year, a regent spokesman said.

Lillard said the program would

Opinion Page 'Draft regristration' helps America Letter to the editor: After reading the comments on socalled "draft registration" made by Mr. M.T. Blake in the February issue of The Vista, I felt compelled to reply.

In the closing section of his letter, Mr. Blake states that he "is not trying to upset anybody..." Well, believe it or not, you have upset me a areat deal.

First of all, the so-called "draft registration" which Mr. Blake is so "disgusted" by, does not exist. There is, in fact, no military draft at the present time.

There is merely a system of reaistering one's name with the Selective Service Office. This pool of names is to be drawn from in times of national emergency.

Speaking realistically, we all know that the term "national emergency"

refers to a major war; but if this prospect is so upsetting, then let me offer a few suggestions: (1) The National Guard—There are, at present, plenty of positions open in the Army and Air National Guard, whose main concern is civic action; for example, aiding disaster victims and resupplying snowed-in people and/or livestock. When not participating in civic action, the Guard trains, in many cases, to protect this country.

The Guard is also full of jobs in the medical, maintenance and communication fields which would not require you to serve in combat (assuming, of course, that this mythical war reached the state where it became necessary to call up the National Guard).

(2) The Peace Corp—The Peace Corp, VISTA and many other world service organizations are sorely understaffed, and a tour in one of these oraanizations would fulfill a military obligation assuming there was a draft, which there isn't.

As for registering before receiving aid from our government "disgusting" anyone; the machine has not yet been invented which can measure my contempt for that idea.

I simply do not believe that just being born in this country gives one some all-inclusive, intrensic right to the advantages, freedom and security that earlier generations of Americans have worked, fought and in many cases died for during the past two-hundred years.

It disturbs me greatly to see my peers and those younger than myself growing up with a "free lunch" attitude, thinking that this country owes them something from birth, and that they can take, take, take, from this great nation and never give anything back; just riding the proverbial "gravy train" until the wheels fall off.

Millions of Americans have given their lives to protect and insure our way (not necessarily in the Armed Forces); or at the present time simply

signing one's name is a small price to pay for what two-hundred years of diligence, courage and blood have provided us with.

In closing, it is his inalienable right to speak his mind on any issue. I am merely providing him with some food for thought and some of my basic beliefs.

I believe that we should be thankful: that we have a government which can provide such luxuries as student aid (I doubt you will find much of it floating around in the USSR); that we can speak our minds, admit our countries mistakes, and criticize our government in public (ask the leaders of Poland's Solidarity just how far that kind of behavior got them).

Last, I am thankful that there are thousands of dedicated, professional men and women shouldering the burden of national defence.

It is them who will be there to defend your rights and mine, Mr. Blake, should the time ever come to do so.

Physical fitness should begin in school

By Kathie Slutter America seems to have an obsession with physical fitness. Private spas and clubs have sprung up everywhere, fitness books have sold by the millions and aerobic dance records using every kind of music imaginable have hit all the stores.

Editorial Despite all these popular exercise tools, Americans are far from being physically fit. The figures are astounding: the average person has a fat intake of 85 grams daily, 20 percent of the public is overweight and one out of five men have a heart attack by age 60.

Physical fitness has become a big business, affordable mostly by the rich who can spend $50 or more a month to go to a health spa. The public has even been almost brainwashed by advertisers to believe it is impossible to get in shape without expensive exercise clothes, tennis shoes and equipment.

The people who really suffer from lack of physical education are children in the public schools. Since more emphasis is placed on computers and math and science skills to prepare kids for tomorrow, many physical education programs have been cut back.

But children who aren't healthy can't learn as well as those who are. A test conducted in 1980 showed that 57 percent of the children six-to 17-yearsold failed to attain the standards of the average healthy child.

Many schools have sports programs to replace physical education. These are great for children who are athletic.

But for those who aren't, sports are very discouraging. The games focus on

the child's present abilities instead of helping him to become more athletic, and, in turn, helping his self-image.

The same is true outside of school.

Structured sports like Little League baseball have taken the spontanity out of child's play and many times are run by parents who don't know much about conditioning the body. Most of the poorer neighborhoods don't even have decent playgrounds and public parks to play in.

Concern for children's well-being was shown on a national level when President Dwight Eisenhower established the President's Council on Youth Fitness—now called the President's Council on Physical Fitness in Sports— in 1956. At that time the post-

World War II baby boom population was in school.

Eisenhower and John F. Kennedy kept the program going until the baby boom ended and fewer people were in school during that time are 28 to 40-years-old, the main age group involved in the present fitness boom.

People who haven't had fitness training in school are very limited when they start programs as adults because they don't know enough about it. If physical education is emphasized more for children, maybe they will grow up with a better understanding of how to be healthy and start a new fitness boom, this time one that everyone can afford.

Cafeteria food quite good, only few can't stand menu Letter to the editor: Everyone in Central Cafeteria has noticed those people who make snide remarks about the food while standing in line. These pessimists make it seem as if they are the only ones who have to eat the food.

Many times the cafeteria food is quite good. Yet, who tells the cooks when they've done a good job?

It certainly is not the students who leave their trays on tables in rebellion.

For a moment, exchange positions with the women serving the food. They stand there day after day serving 400 to 700 people a meal, and they catch all the flack.

Count how many times a week the

food tastes good. Then compare it with when it isn't so good. It's all a matter of attitude. Everybody is entitled to their opinion and free to express it when and where they wish. However, those dissatisfied should tell the manager. This is what she is there for, to hear complaints and try to improve the service.

If the suggestion is given in a positive manner, it might help solve the problem. On the other hand, if the cornplaint is blurted out in a crowd, it could be taken negatively and that person might be thought of as obnoxious.

So, before complaining, think of what it will accomplish and save it for the manager.

State local, world news Beer bill returns to Senate The State Senate Policy Committee approved a bill to raise the age for buying 3.2 beer to 21 Tuesday.

The bill, now entitled SB-145, will go back to the Senate floor.

The current law prohibits the purchase of 3.2 beer by persons under 21 for consumption on the premises, however it does allow for off premise consumption.

According to Rep. Helen Cole, an author of a similar legislation, action by the Senate Committee would aid in efforts to change the beer-buying age.

According to Cole, approximately 70 percent of the Senate will vote in favor of the bill.

Sen. Joe Johnson, also in favor of the bill, commented that he thought statisics would prove that it really will save lives.

$90 million of state budget cut Legislators have agreed to cut $90 million from the state budget after solving a disagreement between the two houses over education budgets.

The agreement was made when Senate leaders announced a proposal that would pull out $58.6 million and would see the state through economic problems.

The plan is to produce a "13th" month of revenue by requesting companies pay gross production taxes before the next fiscal year begins.

Right now companies have until April 10 to report taxes on production in February. Under the change, those companies would have to have those taxes in by March 31.

Although the difference would only matter a few days each month the outcome would be equal to 13 months of revenue for this fiscal year.

According to Senate Pro Tempore Marvin York, the extra $58.6 million would provide $34 million to the state's general funding, $16 million to the Pension Reserve Fund, $4.3 million to county roads and $4.3 million to school districts.

The change would also speed up reports of income tax witholdings, therefore producing an additional $10 million for the general fund.

Edmondnite shot in robbery A man, who was trying to hold up a pharmacy in Oklalipma City Tuesday, was wounded when the pharmacist shot him three times with a pistol he had stored under the counter.

Tom Proctor, owner of Proctor Pharmacy reported that the gunman had his attention distracted long enough for him to grab the pistol.

The wounded man was identified as Paul Burks of Edmond and was reported in stable condition at South Community Hospital.

According to Proctor, Burks walked into the pharmacy and pulled a gun out of his coat. He demanded money, narcotics and amphetamines.

The drugs are worth several thousand dollars in the pharmacy, however they could be sold for much higher prices on the street, according to the pharmacist.

Proctor reported that Burks threatend to shoot him when an unidentified female customer walked into the pharmacy, he threatened to shoot her also. However, the gunman stood by as the pharmacist filled an order for the customer.

The man allowed the customer to leave the store and then tried to force the Proctor into the back room. It was then that Proctor grabbed the pistol and shot Burks.

Herman Continued from page 1 from 25,000 feet, 9,000 feet above the world record.

"When the time came for me to sign the papers (saying that he had broken the world record), they (Soviets) had already signed the paper 'Soviet Citizen Victor Herman.' I said that I wasn't a Soviet citizen, I'm an American. They tried to convince me, that I jumped out of a Soviet plane, used a Soviet parachute, that I had Soviet instructors, received Soviet permission and landed on Soviet soil. I said, 'Hold on, I'm American, the parachute was American, the plane was German, the pilot was Afghanistan; only the permission and the soil was Russian! Well, we disagreed and I didn't sign the papers."

After that event, Herman fell into disfavor with the 'ruling class.' They stopped his flights and experimental jumps. His father told him to take his little sister to the American Embassy and don't leave there until they (U.S. officials) returned them to

signed it, it would be over, but he refused.

"I knew there was a list of names (on the papers)."

After weeks of interrogation, Herman was beaten so badly that he was taken to a hospital and befriended by a Polish doctor who told him that he would help him.

"You can trust me," stated the doctor, who took compassion upon Herman.

After Herman was released from the hospital, he was taken back to interrogation (room 138), where he was asked again to sign a paper. The paper said that Herman was arrested for telling another American a basketball score to a game that had never been played. He signed the paper thinking that he would be going home soon. Three weeks later the "judgment" from the Soviets was returned, it read, "American spy to be shot!"

A later decision placed Herman in a slave labor camp.

"I had then been determined to be worked to death in extermination camp 231, where I met many other foreigners.

"Keeping quiet was my best policy."

Herman's health, while in the camp, was deteriorating so rapidly from lack of food that he was forced to hunt and eat rats, usually raw, to replenish the protein that his body was lacking.

After thirty years, Herman was given up as a token during the Helsinki Treaty. Upon leaving, Herman had to divorce Galina to lessen the paper work that the Soviet officials had to deal with to transfer Herman home to America.

According to Herman, he is fulfilling his duty to inform the American citizens of the communist "threat."

"Cherish your country, there's no other country like it!"

Hijackers look for asylum Hostages aboard a hijacked Libyan jetliner, that has been parked in Valletta's airport since Sunday night, were reported begging for Food Tuesday.

However, the hijackers would not let officials near the plane and threatened to blow it up.

According to an airport official the situation for the 156 hostages was critical because there was no water aboard the plane.

Three Libyan hijackers consistantly threatened to blow up the Boeing 727 and also refused to negociate with government officials.

The hijackers' reason for the hijacking is that they want to leave their country and wanted political asylum in Morocco.

the U.S. "I promised my daddy, but I couldn't take them seriously. He said 'Look, go to your friends in the village, visit them.' We had an American village there, and there were just a few of the small children left after the Secret Service arrested them."

The Secret Service arrested him at the stadium and he wasn't informed of the charges.

"I was never charged with anything," stated Herman.

They took him to prison placed him in a small cell with 16 other political prisoners. He had to sit all day long up-right with his hands on his knees. He was not allowed to lean against anything or anybody, just looking at one spot.

"The only time we were allowed to leave the cell was to take the pot (toilet) out. Every ten days we could empty it. Only two of us there were strong enough to carry that pot."

Herman said that if someone did something wrong the entire cell would be punished by being denied food for three days. During these times the prisoners were questioned.

"My interrogation began on the fourth day. The man told me that `I'm your interrogator, you will answer all my questions. Now turn and face the wall.' As soon as I turned to the wall, he began punching me in the back, behind the liver and behind the kidneys until eight o'clock in the morning. Only once I asked him what I did wrong, why are you torturing me?

He said, 'shut up, when you're ready I'll ask the questions.' After the second day I was spouting blood from every opening in my body."

They never asked him a question, but continued to torture him. On the 53rd day they gave him a paper to sign and if he had

Center offers more services than name implies

By Margo Wright

According to Darrell Gilliland, director of the Counseling and Testing Center, 85 percent of CSU's student body is unaware of the many services that the Counseling Center offers.

The Counseling and Testing Center, located on the second floor of the Administration Building, provides counseling for students and staff with problems.

Gilliland, along with Peggy Foster, a counseling psychologist, will counsel with students by appointment on a one-to-one basis.

Their main objective is to help the individual with personal and emotional problems and both Gilliland and Foster will recom-

mend outside services to individuals who need additional help.

Services are also offered to students who are changing majors, which, according to Gilliland, happens at one time or another to 80 percent of the students on campus.

Other services the center offers include educational services, a study skills program, a tutoring service by upper level students, who have been trained to assist others, and a variety of tests

designed to help students.

One test to be added in the next month is an apptitude test. This computer scored test will enable students to find their academic weaknesses and will recommend educational programs that will

help correct these deficiencies.

Other tests include an occupational interest examination and advanced standing examinations.

The advanced standing tests can be a way of helping students obtain college level credit for.

knowledge in certain subjects.

According to Gilliland, most services and tests are free, with the computer scored tests costing around $15. If the individual obtained these tests elsewhere, the cost could be $100.

Senate to provide 'open line' boxs

By Tonia Sykes Students who have been unable to participate in senate meetings are going to have the opportunity to express their opinions about campus issues. Funding for five suggestion boxes was approved by a 13-12 vote in student senate Monday.

"The suggestion boxes will hopefully create a line of communication between the student body and the senate," said Sen. Simon Okonjo. "We want students to become involved in the issues because they are directly affected after a resolution is approv-

ed by adminstration."

Specific locations for the boxes will be announced as soon as construction is completed.

Two resolutions written by Okonjo were introduced for committee consideration.

Resolution 83-111 calls for extension of the voting area to the Liberal Arts building. Okonjo stated that the low turnout in senate elections is a direct result of the voting area being confined to the University Center.

The LA building was selected, Okonjo said, because the majority of students, at some point in their

Auditions for the 1983 "The production of Magnificent Musical Medicine Show" and "O.K. Country" will be held at 10 a.m. on Saturday at Frontier City, 11601 Northeast Expressway, Oklahoma City. The auditions are for talented high school and college singers, dancers and instrumentalists.

Both productions will be produced and directed

family and was raised on Christian music, he was also in on the ground work for the beginnings of contemporary Christian music.

Sharp was the music and youth minister at Hillcrest Baptist Church in Stillwater for four years and was also music minister at First Baptist Church in Jenks for three years until he turned to a full-time concert music ministry.

"The most important thing for me was to tell the Lord that I will do anything for him to reach people for Christ," said Sharp.

Sharp said he enjoys singing for Christ and enjoys seeing people saved and turning their life over to Christ.

"I plan on doing this for as long as God wants me to," said Sharp.

Sharp likes full-time Christian concert life

By Mark Spears Staff Writer Cont . rriporary Christian music is very popular today to most young Christians and one such singer, Steve Sharp, who sang at the Baptist Student Union's "Noonday" Tuesday.

Sharp was in town to sing and lead singing at the First Baptist Church of Edmond's revival.

Sharp is relatively new to most listeners of contemporary Christian music, but he toured with the Imperials in 1982 on the east coast during their "Harvest Tour."

"I got a chance to really know the guys (Imperials), and it was good to see that they really loved the Lord and wanted to reach people for Christ," said Sharp.

Steve Austin reflects:

'All we needed was a center'

CSU guard Patti Komalty has been named to the all-district team by the coaches in District Nine.

Komalty was the only CSU player to be honored, although three others were nominated by coach John Keely. Komalty is one of 10 District Nine players named to the team.

The 5'8" senior from Lawton is averaging 9.8 points a game and 5.8 rebounds. She is coming off a 19 point, seven rebound performance Tuesday night against Tulsa. The game was Komalty's last at home.

Komalty holds six school records including most assists and most steals (season, game and career).

Last season, Komalty averaged 14.3 points a game and 6.6 rebounds. Those statistics were good enough to earn her honors as first team AIAW AllAmerican.

This season Komalty was named to the AllTournament team at the Jennies Invitational at Central Missouri in January.

Komalty was one of several transfers from Northern Junior College tapped by Keely when he took over the head coaching position at CSU. Other Lady Bronchos nominated for the honor were Carrie Tucker and Gayle Stout.

Steve Austin goes up over OCC's Ron Webb during a game at Broncho Field House earlier in the season.

Following Saturday night's finale with Langston here, Steve Austin will be able to say he survived four consecutive losing seasons at CSU. Time for a commerative t-shirt? No, says Austin, a win to close out this trying season would be enough.

The fact that he survived this season is probably not one of Austin's more treasured accomplishments, yet maybe so.

Austin still has his peace of mind — and few, if any regrets after a tough basketball career. The hardest thing for him to accept came this year.

"I just wish we would have had an experienced big man (center) this year," said Austin. "If we did, you would have seen a 100 percent turnaround."

That would have made CSU's

record 26-4 going into Saturday's game, but it just didn't work that way. Though freshman Phil Giachino has shown promise occasionally, coach Buddy Armstrong still considers him a player of the future. This forced Austin to move inside and take up the slack left by the graduation of stand-out center Charles Crosby.

Thus the Bronchos, without a dominant post-man, showed no turnaround, a 4-26 record and no realistic hopes of reaching the District Nine playoffs. And there was sometimes a threat of mutiny, according to Austin.

"We never gave up," said Austin, "but we had our ups and downs. I talked to some players who wanted to leave, but I told them, 'hey I'm hanging in there so you've got to hang in there with me because this is it for me'."

But going into this season, Austin had no idea of what the 82-83 campaign would hold.

"I knew we were getting a new coach," he said, "but that was about it. I thought we would have some recruits coming in as far as a big man. I didn't expect to play inside; and to be honest, I would have preferred to play either a big guard or forward, but I didn't get the chance."

However, he did get the chance to do something he hadn't done in the previous three seasons — lead the team in scoring and rebounding. Yet, playing out of posistion still bothered him.

"It (leading the team in those categories) was alright, but I think I could have done better if I played outside. Inside I have to try to knock those big dudes around and they were knocking me around. But hey, I can hold my ground.

"I knew from 'jump street' that

But for now, Austin is concentrating on Saturday's contest with Langston. It won't mean much as far as the final standings or playoffs are concerned; but for Austin, it's important.

An ankle injury during the East Central game last Saturday forced him out of action against Oklahoma Christian College Monday, a game CSU lost 94-72.

But Austin said he will be ready Saturday.

e didn't have that much ex)erience, but I didn't expect the eason to go like this. I know we are a better team than this. It's just that we've lost a lot of games by two, three or four points. We just aren't the kind of tern that can put it over the hump." They have lost 10 games by five points or less.

One thing about this year's team, says Austin, is that the boat isn't always rocking like before.

"The three years before," said Austin, "there was always some kind of conflict between the players and the coach. All three years we had good players that were just kicked off for no good reason.

"This year is a lot different. We have a lot of respect for coach Armstrong and we knew that when we came to practice, we were going to get something out of ourselves and that Coach was going to work us hard."

Austin admitted that under Evans there had been a lackadaisical attitude and a lot of talent passed through without being utilized.

"We could have been National Champions every year," said Austin of his first three seasons.

"We had talent that was never taken advantage of, and like I say, there was always some conflict."

Austin, or "Six Million" as his teammates call him, insists that next year's CSU squad can turn things around if it adds one ingredient.

"A big man," he said. "That's all they need. You just don't realize how important it is to have a big post-man."

As for the future, Austin will finish his degree requirements in buisness management this summer. Soon after that, Austin hopes to return to school — somewhere — to take some graduate hours and pick-up some computer science classes because "that's where the money is." %■

Seniors finish 'in style'

Lady Bronchos blow-out TU in home finale

By Robert Slankard

Campbell and Cynthia Foster.

Together they've compiled a 46-20 record, prior to Thursday's game with Oklahoma Baptist.

In the pre-game ceremonies each senior was given flowers in the midst of applause, smiles, hugs and tears. However, when the contest began most of the tears were reserved for the mismatched Tulsa club which dropped its fourth consecutive game to CSU. Tulsa led briefly at 3-1 but CSU wasted little time in smashing TU's hopes with four unanswered buckets. Two more buckets from Kim Kramer staked CSU a 13-6.

Six straight points pulled TU within two, the closest they would come, but two field eoals each from Komalty and Carrie Tucker hiked the lead to 25-13 midway through the half. Stout then took over, scoring eight points in the final seven minutes to stake CSU a 45-29 lead.

Komalty and Stout combined for CSU's first 10 points of the second half and CSU poured through seven baskets in the first four minutes to turn the game into a rout, 58-32.

The story stated that 118-pounder Billy Reid would advance to the NAIA National Tournament in Minot, N.D. March 3-5.

The story also said that Mark A. Allen at 158 did not qualify.

In reality, Allen will advance to the tourney while Reid will not.
