Murdaugh cafeteria closes indefinitely; girls move to Central The girls of Murdaugh Hall have lost their cafeteria to CSU's maintance crew indefintely and some of the residents of the oldest of the two women's dormitory aren't exactly enthused about it. Central Cafeteria, which in the past has been occupied by only East and West Hall students, will now accomodate Murdaugh inhabitants. Although Housing Director Robert Fields has insisted that the current arrangements are not permanant, the cafeteria in the basement of Murdaugh Hall could be closed for as long as two years. "We all enjoy the opportunity to meet new people," said one coed, "but, the lines and the inconveniece are a bit of a hassle. It was nice to just be able to get up and go right to breakfast." Residents of East and West Hall also complained about the lines. The space once used to feed the girls is now being used by maintance workers to store supplies needed for construction to be done within the hall. The project, which was to include some remodeling, repairing and work on the fire safety devices, was scheduled to begin at the beginning of the summer semester. However, due to complications, the work was never started. "We had scheduld to do all of the work before the students returned in the fall," explained Fields, "but, it was slow moving because of some difficulties in the contract bidding procedure." The move of Murdaugh's residents presents Fields and his staff with a new problem. In addition to keeping busy trying to fit a overload of students into the already crowed dormitories, they will be tasked with coping with the problems which may come with a crowded cafeteria. Fields disclosed that work on the air-conditioning systems in East and West Halls was also slated as a part of the contract, but that this would not be dealt with at the present time.
Yet Fields sees no such difficulties arising. "I don't believe the lines are nearly as long in Central Cafeteria as they were this time last year," he said. In order to cope with a larger group to feed, changes had to be made in the operations of the cafeteria. The staff has been increased and workers from Murdaugh have been moved to Central. Student worker positions have still yet to be filled and Fields said this will be done in the next few weeks. Vista photo by Daniel Smith
Also, two lines will be in operation for all meals except for breakfast to speed things up, and the seating has been adjusted to accomodate more students.
Bruce Mitchell, Edmond right, practices his CPR (cardiopumonary resuscitation) training as his instructor Linda Ruhman, left, looks on. 'CPR Saturday', held last Saturday in CSU's Wantland Hall, was sponcered by CSU, the Oklahoma County Red Cross Chapter, NBC-TV and the city of Edmond to help train the citizens of the community to be prepared in CPR emergencies. Approximately 100 persons of all ages attended the sessions.
Harassment, grade disputes
Students can air grievances through board A graduate student receives a B grade because his instructor has been told by another instructor to "Watch out for this guy." A young mother returning to school is penalized two grade levels because she missed three class days taking care of her sick child. A female student is constantly harassed by her professor to go out with him. What these three cases have in common is they involve a grievance against a teacher. On August 19, the office of the vice president of Academic Affairas issued a memorandum revisingd the Student Grievance procedures to the faculty, department chairpersons and deans at CSU. The memorandum replaces the old procedures of the Grievance Commitee in which the student and instructor involved each chooses an equal number of committee members from the faculty and—or student body. That committee would then hear discussion from both parties and recommend an appropriate action.

According to the new appeal proceedures mentioned in the memo, students who questions a faculty members behavior in a relationship with a student, or feels that he or she has received a unjust grade may choose one of three steps to take. The student may take part in a optional discussion with the instructor in an appeal of professional ethics. This, however, is a mandatory in the instance of a grade appeal because only the instructor has the authority to change a grade. A second step allows a student to submit a formal signed statement of the grievance in the case of a violation of professional ethics. The statement must be submitted to the dean of chairperson of the particular school within one calander school year from the date of the incident. The dean or chairperson will then hold meetings with the instructor and student within the two weeks following in order to evaluate the grievance and submit recommendations in order to reconcile the differences between the two. A student may also appeal a grade by submitting a signed petition to the dean of the school, identifing the himself, his section and stating the issue in question and justifying the students position. The School Grade Appeals Committee then hears the positions of both parties, reviews them and the dean makes written recommendations to the instructor and student. If the student or instructor is dissatisfied, they may proceed to a third step.
A request for a hearing before a university appeals committee must be turned in to the vice president for academic affairs. The members of the committee will be selected from a student panel and faculty panel of each school.
The memo states that the committee will evaluate the position before it allows parties to present their positions and evidence. The committees' conclusions and recommendations are then submitted to the vice president.
Security without lead as vandels strike lot Three trucks, parked on university property, were broken into sometime Sunday night or Monday morning according to Jim Dunn, CSU campus police chief. The vehicles, all of which were parked in the resident parking area north of East Hall, were reported Monday morning, said Dunn. "A radio was stolen from one truck while another was missing a small amount of change. The third had been vandalized, but no possessions were taken," he said. Dunn said the vandal gained entry to two of the vehicles by smashing out the wing window on the passenger side while a third may have been opened with a clothes hanger. He added that although he planned to increase the patrolling of the area around East Hall, no arrests have been made in connection with the break-ins. Dunn also urged anyone who has had a vehicle broken into to notify Campus Security so they may establish a pattern or identification of any missing articles. The break-in is the first disturbance reported since students returned for the fall semester. One victim of the vandalism claimed that he counted as many as eight vehicles which had windows smashed. John Burruss, an East Hall resident said that he learned from a friend that his truck had been broken into and when he went out to check, he saw more than three similar instances. "I counted five trucks and three cars that had the windows smashed," said Burruss. Burruss said that although the wing window in his truck had also been smashed, none of his tapes were missing, and he was unable to report the incident to security. "I called them and waited for an officer for an hour and a half, but no one ever showed up," he said. "They said I would have to bring my truck over there because they were swamped with calls."

Not only were the premises very clean, there seemed to be a different atmosphere In the past, the appearence had been consistently clean, however it seems as if those in the Housing Office, the Resident Hall Association and the maintance crew have put there heads and talents together to really spruce up the place.

fromation, something residents have sorely missed in the past. A new television consule has been installed with a cable system on the way. However, the cable systems that have been granted East Hall in the past have mysteriously disappeared. Hopefully, moving the TV system from the recreation room to the lobby, those who may have sticky fingers may be less tempted to walk off with it.
Also, a week before the rest of us came on the scene, the head resident, his staff and the resident assistants were hard at work getting things in order. One only hopes that those of us living in East Hall will spend our idle time utilizing the facilities such as the microwave in the office, the TV, recreation room and the new study
areas (another fine addition) instead of destroying bathrooms, dirtying the hallways and being a nusance to those who are trying to study. Thanks to all those who have made an effort to made East Hall and the rest of the dormitories at CSU a little more comfortable. Mike Sherman
Freedom blocked by locked dormitory doors To the editor: When students move away from home and into college dorms, they don't always escape rules and regulations. Dormitory rules cover a wide range of things including cooking and visitation hours. Most of these rules are created in the name of security. It is understood that without certain rules the system would go out of control. This year another rule has been added to the list. The rule states that residence hall doors will be closed at 2 a.m. For students who work evenings,
have a late night emergency or are just "night owls", this presents a problem. Although students may check a key out from the main desk before leaving, they must return it by 12 a.m. the following day. For some, this is no problem. However, many students don't know if they will be out past "closing time." Working students might get called to their job at odd hours and don't have time to stop and check out a key, or have a chance to return it the next day by the time required without being fined. Students have enough problems in
school without having to worry about whether they will be able to get into their dorm or not. If the rules must remain in tact, students could be issued a permanent outside door key just as they are issued a room key. If that isn't feasable, then what is wrong with the way it was before, leaving the front door open with a person on duty at the front deck? College students are considered adults with the responsiblity and freedom to come and go as they wish! Twyla Cowan

once a child is born it will have a reasonably healthy and satisfying life? Abortion isn't pretty. Saline solutions and dilatation and curettage (D & C) destroy the fetus in the process of aborting it. In later stages of pregnancy, the cranium is crushed before labor is induced. Abortion is a centuries-old practice which has only become safe for the mother in the last few decades. It is not an after-the-fact form of contraceptive, but an operation with all the life-threatening complications of surgery. The U.S. Supreme Court stated in 1973 that abortion in the early stages of pregnancy should be a medical, not a criminal matter, left up to the judgment of the woman and her doctor. If abortion by demand is abolished, what will happen to the women who continue to seek it? Will they be given jail terms for murder? Would the abortion of an eight-month fetus carry the same penalty as one at six weeks? What about birth control devices that, in effect, cause the abortion of the fertilized egg? Will low-dose birth control pills and intrauterine devices (IUD) become outlawed, too? And what about the "morning after" pill used in cases of rape? Forcing a woman to bear a child is as much an attack on privacy as forcing a woman to have an abortion. Women are still dying from illegal abortions in the United States, and limiting the access to abortion by demand will only cause more deaths, not more justice. Name withheld by request

Armchair athletes beware!
HPE&R facilities open
Sitting in your room with nothing to do? Starting tomorrow Wantland Hall will be open Wednesday nights from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. for basketball, volleyball, badminton, table tennis and swimming. And that's only a few of the activities provided by the health, physical education and recreation department. For tennis buffs, the courts by the math building will be open Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 10:30 to 12:30. The courts by the fieldhouse are available Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. They are also open after 7:30 p.m. Monday, after 5:30 p.m. Tuesday through Friday, and on weekends. Lights are provided for all-night enjoyment. The fieldhouse swimming pool is open Monday through Thursday afternoons from 2:45 p.m. to 3:45 p.m. for recreational swimming and from 3:45 p.m. to 5 p.m. for lap swimming.
Decals stop tidalwaye of tickets Parking tickets have already started fluttering on the windshields of campus cars. And the waste of time and money could all be avoided with one trip by the blue building south of the library. The security building is open 24 hours daily. The parking decals are free, allowing students to park in areas designated for their use. Motorcycles, vans and cars, both staff and student, should be registered. Decals for the handicapped and temporary stickers are also available. After 12:30 p.m. students may park in any student lot, as long as they have their decals. After 5:30 p.m. only handicapped and 24 hour staff parking is barred to students. Unpaid tickets result in an academic hold on transcripts, grades and enrollment. White tickets are $3 per citation and pink tickets, given later in the year, are $5. When unpaid tickets have been allowed to pile up, the cars are towed away.
The soccer field south of the fieldhouse is also available whenever classes and intramural teams are not using it. "After women's volleyball season is over Wantland Hall gym floor will be open from 1:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. every afternoon for recreational purposes," said Dr. Homer Coker, chairman of the HPE&R department. However,
the weight room has been removed until new facilities are found. Students using the Wantland Hall facilities and the fieldhouse swimming pool must bring a current Central State I.D. Equipment may be borrowed with the cards and no guests other than family are allowed to use the gym space. In the swimming areas children under 12 must be accompanied by adults.

Student travels with McDonald's tour band By Dwayne Long Some students in college get an easy break, but others get bigger breaks. Clyde J. Connor who was selected to travel with the McDonald's All-American Marching and Jazz Bands, is one student with the big break. Connor is a native of Grove and has been playing percussion instruments since he was three years old. While in high school he has traveled from New York to San Fransico with the McDonald band. During the summer of 1981, Connor was recommended by his high school band teacher, Phillip Stevens, to play with the McDonald band. He was contacted the same summer for auditions. "I'll never forget all the work it took to prepare for auditions," said Connor. Over a three week period, he had to play all percussion instruments and tape all of his work on one cassette. He was given a decision three months later, but it happened in an unique manner. "My parents were contacted but they did not mention anything to me instead, they waited until that night and had it annouced at halftime over the public address system during a football game. "I was astonished, I wanted to jump, laugh, and shout but I was on the field with my instrument at that time," said Connor. The first band that Connor was selected to play with was the McDonald All-American High School Marching Band. He was the only student in the nation selected for the position and his
first trip was to New York City, where he played in the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade. "1 couldn't believe it was true, I was still in high school and now I was in New York City on an all expense paid tour," said Connor. During the same night of the parade, live auditions were held at the New York City's Sheraton Hotel for the All-American High School Jazz Band and Connor was also selected to play percussion with the jazz band. The first trip with the jazz band took him to Philadelphia, Pa. in Nov. of 1981. While there he performed at two concerts and was hosted on two television shows. He left the East coast and went west to Pasadena, Calif. for the Tournament of Roses Parade on New Year's Day. "I still couldn't believe this was happening to me, I was really excited," said Connor. In May of this year, Connor
went back West again to San Francisco, Calif., where the jazz band played two concerts for the McDonald's World Convention. He also played in three other concerts in the San Francisco area. Connor was scheduled to go back East this summer to play at the World's Fair in Knoxville, Tenn., however, this appointment was cancelled. Perhaps Connor's biggest concert will be next week on Labor Day when the jazz band will be televised live at the Jerry Lewis Telethon in the Ceasar's Palace Hotel in Las Vegas, Nev. "Unfortunately, this will be the last concert for the All-American Jazz Band, but we will make records while we are in Las Vegas," said Connor. He stated the band could be seen on Mon. morning between 1:00-1:30 and again at 10-11 the same morning. While playing for the All-
American band, Connor was also being recruited by several large universities across the nation. They included the University of Oklahoma, North Texas State University, University of Arkansas and California State University. Nevertheless, Connor decided to come to Central State when he was offered a four-year alumni scholarship. "I was happy to have so many universities wanting me to attend their schools and I also enjoyed looking at the programs being offered at other schools," said Connor. He also stated that O.U. did not have a jazz program and the program at CSU is wel-known across the state. "Actually, the final decision was between Central State and North Texas State. I knew more
By Dwayne Long Five students were selected last week to represent the CSU Rifle Corps, which perform routines with the band. Like last year's team, the corps is co-ed with five women and one man. They include, Cynthia Singer, Toni Splane, Karolyn Gannaway, Doug Yoder and Cindy Crosslane. Singer, a junior from Guthrie High School, has three years with the rifle corps. The junior also
twirled the rifle for marching bands for eight years before coming to CSU. "I think being in the rifle corps is challenging and exciting and each year is different," commented Singer. Sophomore Splane is a transfer student from Southwestern University in Weatherford. She is a native of Enid and twirled the rifle for seven years previous to CSU and Southwestern. At Enid High, she twirled the rifle for the
drum corps, but she had never twirled a baton before. "I just picked up a rifle and started twirling and I have been doing it since," said Splane. "Southwestern didn't have rifle corps so I worked with the flag team there and decided to come to CSU." "I am looking forward to an exiciting and thrilling rifle line," said Splane. Gannaway is a freshman from Yukon High School, however, she

"I enjoy playing for CSU, I was scared at first because I was a freshman, but now everyone makes me feel at home," said Connor. "I'll find out who my real friends are when we play at the first football game." "He is one of the best students that has joined the band this year, he is a very talented freshman and I am glad to have him in the band," said Dr. Kent Kidwell, CSU band director. Connor had the big breaks and now he will be playing the snare drum in the marching band and he will also playing in the jazz band and the percussion ensemble.

played in the band for eight years and had no previous rifle twirling experience before this summer. "My boyfriend showed me how to twirl the rifle and I decided to try out this semester at CSU. "Although I learned to twirl at once, I also learned that it takes a lot of tough practice and work," stated Gannaway. Yoder, who is the only male on the team so far, is a freshman from Kingfisher. Like his other comrades, he has played in the band for eight years and in his senior year he started twirling the rifle. He was also in the flag corps for the Winterguard at Kingfisher High School in which he participated in local, state and national contests. "I am looking forward to working with CSU and I think it is exciting to be a part of the rifle corps," said Yoder. Crossland is also a veteran rifle girl, this makes her third year with CSU. She is a graduate of Muskogee High School and has had no previous twirling experience. "We are looking forward to having a large talented marching band at Central State. We are fortunate to have several freshman students who possess lots of talents," commented Lee Rucker, assistant band director.

In this musical age of strobe light gimmickry, David Crosby, Steven Stills and Graham Nash proved Saturday night that well composed lyrics and harmonious voices stand the test of time by bringing a large crowd to the Myraid to its feet. The camaraderie on stage between the three--the laughter, pats on the back and insinuations of missed high notes gave the audience a feeling of being "let on" to a special jam session between the best of friends. David Crosby, staunchly standing before his microphone like a toy soldier, dares the crowd to "speak your mind if you have the guts to," which remind us in songs like, "Long Time Comin'" and "Chicago" that "one voice" can still be heard. Stills, so solemn throughout the first half of the concert, emerges after intermission with his blond hair slicked back and wearing a green camouflage jacket. The crowd responds to the seriousness of his guitar solo by drowning out their voices with cheers and applauses in the middle of "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes." Stills returns the enthusiasm while preparing to leave the stage by yelling to the crowd, "Beat Texas." "Carry On" and "Teach

Your Children" encored the performance. An almost riotous crowd packed the asisles, stood on chairs and sang in unison the chorus of "Teach Your Children" while Nash held the younger of his two sons on his shoulders.
Arms clasped, victorious, Stills and Nash left the stage, displaying three fingers held high
"We're three for peace," Crosby said smiling. Cheers turned to boos as the Myraid's lights came on and the people filed out into the darkness amid the sounds of the theme song of "Ordinary People.

Bronchos will rely on death at defense This is the second of a three part series By Bob Slankard
C
0
One of the basic reasons behind CSU's awesome rushing attacks of the last few years has been the outstanding offensive lines Broncho backs have worked behind. Steve Leemhuis(1975-76), Chet Mongold(1978) and Kirk Condry(1979) are but a few of the recent offensive lineman to gain national fame. Although it is not known yet if this year's line will hold any future All-District or AllAmerican performers, it should be a very strong and experienced line. That experience begins at tight end where Bob Campo returns for his second year. Coach Gary Howard had nothing but praise for this 6'3", 220 pound senior from Yukon. "Bob has done everything I've asked him to do and more, he's a coaches player. He is a very knowledgable player and a positive force in our offense, I couldn't ask for a better attitude." In his four-year career Campo has played every position in the offensive line. However, the offensive line should need little help as the Bronchos welcome back starters or part-time starters at every position except center. The most talented player may be guard Buddy Link, a 6'1", 230 pound junior from Amarillo, Tx. Link will be starting for the second year and Howard says he has the chance to be one of the best in District IX. The other guard will be Spencer Schwartz, a 6'0", 225 pound junior from Grand Prairie, Tx. Massve 6'1", 260 pound Rod Davis, junior from Okmulgee, will anchor one tackle position but there is quite a battle shaping up for the other position. Ed Branch, 6'2", 245 pound junior from Davis, is the incumbent but he is having to fight off a strong challenge from Van Wooten, a 6'1", 225 pound senior from Grand Prairie. Howard said Wooten had a very good chance of starting, although Branch was the starter last year. The vacated spot at center will be taken by Ron Whiteley. He is a 6'4", 235 lb. sophomore from Edmond, who just transferred over from Oklahoma University.
Howard believes he could be one of the better centers in the district. No matter how good the offense is, the Bronchos will still have to rely on the defense to get the ball for Page and company. And this year's defense should be extremely good at doing just that. The strong point of the stop troops will lie in the defensive backfield where three starters, including one All District performer, returns. The All-District player is corner back Dannye Webb, a 5' 11", 165 pound senior from Ponca City. Webb recorded 30 solos and 26 assisted tackles along with one blocked kick and a team leading six interceptions, including one returned 53 yards for a touchdown against Eastern New Mexico. However, Webb is just one member of an outstanding secondary that held opponents to just 71 completions in 178 passing attempts, 102.8 yards per game passing and snatched 15 interceptions. Juan James is the other corner back. This 6'2", 185 pound senior from Okmulgee had a hand in a total of 50 tackles last year and picked off two passes. Howard considered him just as capable as Webb. Fred Henderson will be the weak safety and is the other superb senior in CSU's secondary. He is 6'0", 180 pounds and graduated from Oklahoma City. TCU tranfer, John Preston may have the edge at strong safety, although the 6'0", 190 pound junior from Dallas, Tex. can expect a stiff challenge from Rickey Greene, a 6'2", 185 pound transfer from Northeastern A&M who was a JUCO All-American last year. As last season drew to a close it appeared the linebacking corps would sorely miss Ken Oleson. However, Arkansas transfer Ed Desherow will be hoping to plug the hole left by the three time All District honore. Desherow is a 6'1", 200 pound junior from Choctaw who played a great deal his freshman year and led the team in solo tackles last season with 46. Hall should keep improving the more he plays. Pushing both players will be Mike Tasby, 6'0", 215 pound sophomore from Dallas, Tex. The Bronchos appear to have very good depth at defensive tackle. Ron Mackey, David Rolle
and Derwin Cantley will be cornpeting for the two available spots. Cantley, a 6'1", 245 pound senior from Broken Bow, is slated to start at right tackle. Cantley transfered from Wichita State last year but suffered a season ending knee injury. However, he should be in fine condition this year. Joining Cantley at the other tackle position will be Ron Mackey, a 6'3", 240 pound senior from Sapulpa. Mackey was a second team All-District performer who recorded 26 solo tackles and 39 assists. Hot on Mackey's heels will be David Rolle. He is a 6'1", 235 pound junior from Oklahoma Ci-
200 pound sophomore from Oklahoma City) has looked good. I feel like we're making progress," said Howard. Bo Matthews, a 6'1", 195 pound sophomore from Yukon, will be the other starter at end and has been 'very impressive' in scrimmage, according to Howard. As a part time starter last year, Matthews was in on a total of 48 tackles. Nose guard will be anchored by Tim Stone, a 6'0", 215 pound junior from Dallas, Tex. Despite his small size, Stone made 23 solo tackles and assisted in 27. Craig Dawkins will handle the
liTIWTAAL ty. Rolle had a hand in 54 tackles last year. Howard believes all three will provide the Bronchos with a strong pass rush. "All three have been good on pass rush. Rolle makes a good second effort and Mackey and Cantley are physical on the field. "Our pass rush from up front is a big key to pass defense and I think we'll be much better equipped this year." Howard mentioned Kevin Huddleston and Lee Haff, both freshmen, have also looked good at tackle. One of Howard's biggest concerns along the defensive front is at end where Chris Edgmon, a two year letterman and starter last year, is expected to miss the first three or four games because of a badly turned ankle. The 6'1", 205 pound junior from Davis logged 73 tackles last year. Filling in for Edgmon will be Doug Williams, a 6'1", 195 pound sophomore from Oklahoma City. "Willims really improved in practice an Ricky Oliver (a 6'0",
place kicking chore for the second year. He is a 5'10", 175 pound sophomore from Midwest City who connected on 17 of 22 PAT tries and three of five filed goal attempts, including a game winning 40 yarder against Howard Payne. Also back for his second year as punter will be Mike Edmonson, a 5'10", 190 pounder from Broken Arrow. Edmonson averaged 35.3 yards on 48 punts last year but had highs of 67, 52 (twice) and 50 yards. The next issue of The Vista will deal with the Bronchos' upcomming schedule and Howard's thoughts on the season.

Softballers prepare for new fall format By Mark Spears
For the first time since Dr. Pinkston has been head softball coach at CSU, the Bronchettes will play a fall softball season. "The only other schools in the state that play a fall season are Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Oklahoma City Universities," said Dr. Pinkston. The Bronchettes have five fall dates, beginning Sept. 7th, at home against Midwestern of Witchita Falls, Tex. and finish against OCU on Sept. 30th. Both are home games. The Bronchettes have lost a total of seven players from last year's team, six of those players by graduation and one because of injuries. Due to the fact that Dr. Pinkston coached the volleyball team, she wasn't able to recruit as much as she would have liked to and was only able to sign five new players. Those new players are Rhonda Lawson, a transfer from OBU; Mary Martin of Shawnee, Lisa Marsden of Ft. Worth, Tex., Janice Kennedy of Amber and Lisha Brown from Ponca City. "Of the 25 people out for softball this fall, 11 are returners and 14 are recruits and walk-ons," Dr. Pinkston said. "The main objective of the fall season is to give the girls experience and let them play together as a team."

Commentary on sports
Drugs; are they part of the athletic future By Gigi Ragland Recently, we have been hearing much about drugs entering sports. Some may say that this has just happened within the past few years, but could it be that the problem was there, only it was overlooked? Several years ago the image of a drug user would be very stereotyped and easy to pick out. Today's users vary in age and lifestyles. They range from junior high kids to cancer patients to people in the spot light -- like sports stars and movie stars. Drugs have become accepted in every social class and are starting to be a way of life for some. High school athletes may start
out on speed before a game -- just to get them going. Speed would have the effect of putting them on a higher energy plateau and enable the athletes to push themselves a little farther. After the game, players might be found smoking a joint or taking a toot of cocaine to unwind. Marijuana has become more accepted in use, but cocaine is relatively new to the scene and is not as prevelant among high school age athletes, mainly because of the expense. Around college athletes, cocaine, speed and marijuana are all there but are kept hidden from the public eye. Drugs can't be pinpointed to any one sport
The use of drugs in the professional sports arena seems to be on the upswing. The process of drugs flowing from high school age through professional sports shows us that drugs are rampant through the sporting sector and the public must be aware of that factor. Drugs cannot be stereotyped into any one specific type individual; anyone could be taking drugs. Cocaine is becoming more a part of the sports world, and is defined as an elite drug. Only those that have the cash necessary to buy an ounce can afford it. An athlete may feel cocaine gives a player the chance to be a star both on and off the court. It
has become the most popular drug and has many followers but the handicap is the expense it takes to keep up with it. So those that have cocaine may also acquire several friends. The question with drugs in sports is not who or what or why are they using them but what of the future? Are drugs so im-
