James also was named coach of the year in Saturday night in Minot, N.D. 1984. Southern Oregon trailed the Bronchos by only 4.5 points and had Tim Satre going head-to-head "Naturally, it feels great to win the team title, with Starzenski in a match which would decide the especially us being the first team to win three team championship. Satre was leading 4-1 and straight," James said. "But I still don't think it has working on another takedown when Starzenski really sunken in yet. caught him in a "neck wrench," took him down, "It was close all the way and it could have gone put him on his back and pinned him. His victory either way. Joe came through for us when we had provided the team with enough points to wrap up a to have it. It was a total team effort. Everybody on record third consecutive NAIA national title for our team scored and contributed." CSU. James put his individual honor in perspective.

The Senate will allot $1,000 from its regular budget to support the CSU Jazz Band, according to a resolution passed by the Student Senate Monday. The Jazz Band is attempting to raise $40,000 to finance a trip to Montreuz, Switzerland. The band was invited to a music festival to be held in July. The request was made because the recognized superiority of the band increases the prestige of CSU, according to the resolution. The resolution, written by Sen. John McHale, stipulates the administration must donate the same amount of money or more to support the band. According to the resolution, the administration is exploring all available funds outside the university system to assist the band. The resolution says the money will be used to meet the travel expenses of the band. The resolution also notes the amount the Senate donates will be less than $1,000 if the administration is unwilling to meet that amount. Campus beauty was the subject of another resolution passed by the Senate. The resolution, also written by McHale, states a more attractive campus may aid in the effort to attract new students to CSU.

The resolution calls for an increased administrative commitment to the beautification of campus. "Too many times we hear that CSU isn't the most beautiful campus in the state," said McHale. "I would think the administration could make a little more effort to beautify this campus." The Student Association can purchase 200 trees for $20, according to a report submitted by the Student Activities Committee. The resolution suggests that the trees be purchased and each senator plant a tree, with the remaining trees donated to maintenance to be placed around campus. Several senators expressed concerns that 200 more trees would make the campus look like a forest when the trees are fullgrown. They were also concerned about who would decide where to plant so many trees, and how much it would cost to maintain them. Sen. Teresa Winans, representing the committee, assured the concerned senators that fewer trees could be purchased but "200 trees for $20 is a good deal". The Senate suggests student activity fee monies be utilized, if needed, to help fund the proposed project, according to the resolution.

Conservative group's constitution approved By Susan Garrett

The Student Association approved the Campus Conservative Assembly Constitution after a heated debate on whether to send it back to committee for review. "We felt this was just another one of their attempts to hold up our constitution with no reasonable explanation for doing so," said Kimberly Dupus, cosponsor of the group's constitution. "We did exactly what they wanted us to do." The Campus Conservative Assembly had previously threatened to file a lawsuit against

the Student Association if they did not approve their constitution. The Student Association originally turned down their constitution because the word "religion" was left out of the discrimination clause of their constitution. The group says they will promote the Judeo-Christian religion. The group says the sample they were given to use as a model to draft their constitution failed to include religion in the equal opportunity statement.
