Beemer receives crown during Freshman dance

By Mike Sherman Staff Writer Kelli Beemer of the Delta Zeta sorority was selected as the 1982-83 Freshman Queen at CSU last Thursday.

Beemer, who was crowned at the Freshman Queen Dance in University Center, said that had it not been for the help and cooperation she received from the men of the Kappa Sigma fraternity, she may never have been honored.

"I really think that the guys in the Kappa Sigma fraternity had a great deal to do with my getting elected," said Beemer. "They helped me put up all my posters and campaigned for me. I never expected to win, so I was very suprised."

It seemed fitting that Beemer selected Mike Wray, a Kappa Sigma pledge, to escort her in the ceremony.

The crowning of the queen came as a climax to the evening's festivities sponsored by the Association of Women Students and the University Center Activities Board. The music for the dance was provided by the Mobile Music Machine from the KOFM radio station.

Beemer is currently a pledge of the Delta Zeta sorority. Despite her campaigning for the honor, the graduate of Putnam City was not the originator of the idea of running for queen.

"It really came as a shock to me." said Beemer, "The pledge class nominated me to run for queen and they really got behind me."

Beemer, who is a business-marketing major, plans to get involved in other campus activites aside from her membership in the sorority. She is a member of the Panhellenic Rush Committee and will be on the High School-College Relations Board.

The freshman queen is elected by a vote of freshman campus-wide.

The elections are sponsored by the Association of Women Students and are held each fall.

In order to qualify, a student must be currently enrolled in 12 hours and must not have completed two semesters of classes, said Deanna Land, associate dean of students. Land said that because most applicants were not at CSU the previous semester, there is no grade point requirement.

Land added that it was not required that a entrant be sponsored, but it does help to be backed.

Fall enrollment up for second consecutive year

By Mike Sherman Staff Writer CSU's fall enrollment is up for the second consecutive year. The increase of 2.54 percent could be due to the university's location and programs said CSU President Dr. Bill Lillard.

"Institutions located in urban areas tend to show a more positive enrollment," said Lillard. "A student can enroll at CSU and have programs available at morning, noon and night so they can work or do other things. We also have a very high quality of programs."

While the figures, released last week, show an overall increase in enrollment from 12,004 in the fall of 1981 to 12,309 presently, the number of students participating in lower division courses dropped 1.16 percent. In fact, the enroll-

ment of freshman for the fall fell 2.43 percent. Lillard indicated that this might be a national trend.

"Predictions show that the number of 18 year olds plus are declining in the 80's," said Lillard.

"In all probability, the freshman enrollment will continue to decrease but there will be a increase in the number of people enrolled beyond the 18-22 age group."

Lillard said this is because many students finish high school and decide to attend a junior college.

dent added the benefits CSU reaps due to it's proximity to Oscar Rose and South Oklahoma City Junior College had a large part in a increase of 2.79 percent in the enrollment for upper division courses increased.

"Students finish two years and discover they can do the work so they try CSU. This is why we show a growth in upper division courses." Lillard said. The Presi-

By Charles Gaylor Capitol Bureau The inability of students to use, in both the written and verbal levels, the English language were on the agenda of the Board of Regents of Oklahoma Colleges meeting held earlier this month.

The question was not about foreign students who have trouble with English, but rather, students born and raised in the United States who are unable to communicate with their peers or their instructors on a college level. This lack of ability is in verbal and written skills.

In a report given by Dr. Roger Webb, president of Northeastern State University and chairman of the Presidents' Council, Webb stated that the university presidents wanted more time to evaluate the effectiveness of programs instituted by the various institutions. The report was requested by the regents last spring. This however did not satisfy one regent member.

Graduate student enrollment, which jumped 8.25 percent, show-

ed the biggest increase and Lillard said the new master's programs the university has added are the cause.

"We are getting more and more new graduate degrees," said Lillard. "We have added an economics master's degree this semester and the new programs

will continue to keep bringing in more students."

Lillard said he envisions the enrollment trend set for the last two fall semesters to continue aided by the capital improvements such as the new math-science building and the satelitte dish the university is adding.

Regents discuss poor grammatical habits used by university students said the lack of proficiency among college students was "alarming."

"I'm very concerned with the lack of proficiency among not only our college students, but other students as well," Livermore said. He added, "I'm not satisfied with those remarks," concerning the universities statement's about alternative programs.

His concern over the matter prompted Livermore to ask the regional college presidents for the checks with their respective English departments to see if some type of testing was needed. Livermore said that he feels a reinstatement of a proficiency exam by the universities is needed.

"Last week's report was only a preliminary report," Livermore said. "When I asked them to start the study, it.was late in the Spring semester, in fact I think school was already out, so they haven't really had time to complete the study."

The final report on the question has been slated for the January regents meeting as requested by the schools.

for all the acts done under Isarelis' name.

The name of the game in the Middle East is revenge. Now that the Lebanese Christian militiamen force massacred 300 or more Palestinians in their refugee camp, after President-elect Bashir Gemayel of the Phalange Party was slain in a bomb attack. It's the Palestinians, who are still in Lebanon, turn to strike back. And with the marines in Beirut, they could be attacked for just being associated with Isareli.

What happens when a marine is kill in a hostile foriegn land, Mr. President? Do we send in more marines to protect the ones that are already there?

At the start of Ronald Reagan's administration, President Reagan has sent letters full of "tough talk" on all foreign policy not to his liking, but talking tough did nothing to change the matter to his thinking. Now, he has a military force in a hostile foreign land and Congress can't do a thing for three months. President Reagan can keep a military in any foreign country for three months without Congress' permition. It's a good way to kill inflation and get the nation back on the economic track.

Now, that you've acted as a president, I guess it's time to shout 'action' and 'roll them' and watch the Commander-In-Chief save the world.

Remember sir, the hills don't look that bad until you lead a force up them under fire.

EQUALITY AT LAST!

,

Excuses given about abortion issue not valid Letter to the editor: Doctors perform 1.2 million abortions per year in the United States alone...that's one for every 2.8 live births. Of the women having them, 20 07o are "repeat customers."

Just when does an unborn fetus become a "real person?" It has been medically proven that the baby's heart starts beating from 14 to 28 days after conception and by the 30th day almost every organ has started to form! He moves his arms and legs by six weeks and by 43 days his brain waves can be read. By eight weeks the baby has his very own finger prints, he can urinate, make a strong fist and he can feel pain.

Another excuse we use to cornpromise our stand on abortion is; Don't unwanted children usually end up becoming battered and abused children later on in life? Dr. Edward Lenoski, professor of pediatrics at the University of Southern California, in a recent study of 674 battered children showed 91 07o were planned pregnancies and 90 07o were legitimate. Also, statistics show conclusively that since the legilization of abortion, child abuse has risen very sharply along with illegitimate births. Abortions in the U.S. alone have killed nine million children since 1973. The plain fact is, abortion is the ultimate in child abuse.

We also compromise our stand by saying that legally preventing a woman from having an abortion is an invasion of her privacy. Our laws are very funny. They allow police to enter the privacy of people's homes to stop them from battering or abusing their children, and then they use the same force of law to guarantee the "privacy and right" of parents to grind up their babies before birth, in fact, I think almost all crime is done in private, for example, murder, theft, rape or kidnapping. Does this mean that if we know it's going on, we turn our heads and look the other way, so as not to invade anyone's right to privacy?

God defends the unborn, the innocent, the one who cannot speak for himself...that tiny individual who will never again be duplicated in all of human history! Only God has the right to give or take a life. Mothers with their selfish excuses and doctors with their sharp instruments are playing God. It is obviously not the childs happiness and well-being that is of utmost concern here...but that of the parents.

So where do we go from abortion?

Nazi Germany enacted a law permitting the extermination of "useless" members of society. Now we have the same pattern emerging of which a whole category of people, unloved and

unborn, are being senselessly slaughtered. What is the next class of humanity to be destroyed? Will it be the aged, the handicapped, the mentally retarded? "Who has made man's mouth? Or who makes him dumb or deaf, or seeing or blind? Is it not I, the Lord?" -Exodus 4:11 Don't destroy something that isn't yours. That baby belongs to God, even though it is in your womb. If you do not feel equipped to raise a baby, then be a giver, not a taker. You can give the greatest possible gift of all...the gift of life! In fact, you can give it twice, once to your baby, and then if you decide, again to a hopeful family somewhere.

I leave you with one more interesting statistic: The father has syphilis and the mother has tuberculosis, they have had four children;' the first one was blind, the second one died, the third one was deaf and dumb and the fourth one had tuberculosis. The mother is now pregnant with her fifth child but is willing to have an abortion if you determine that she should. What would you decide for her? If you chose abortion...congratulations...you have just murdered Beethoven! (Medical history from: R.C. Agnew, USC Medical School) Gaylynn Spear

Local, State and World News City fights PCP dumping

Over 100 people were arrested in Afton, N-.C. Monday during a protest of the dumping of PCP-contaminated soil in a rural land fill. The suspected cancer-causing chemical was dumped illegally along state highways before the state intervened.

The spot near Afton was selected for permanent disposal of the soil because of its remote location and sparce population.

Pound may sell animals

A proposed contract to sell unclaimed pound animals to the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center will be ' concidered by the Oklahoma City Council today.

If the contract is approved, unclaimed animals will be sold for $35 each to the center for research purposes. The money will then go into a spaying and neutering program for the pets adopted from the Oklahoma City Animal Shelter.

The contract requires that all untagged cats and dogs be held for the 15 days required by state law.

Existing state laws already permit the use of pound animals for valid experimental purposes in licensed institutions.

Soldier killed in Belfast

A British soldier was killed in West Belfast yesterday when a bomb wired to a security gate exploded. The barrier was one of several scattered throughout the city to discourage terrorist activity.

A police dog trained in sniffing out explosives was with the soldier, but apparently did not notice anything unusual.

The soldier was the third to die through terrorist action in West Belfast in the last 11 days.

The Irish National Liberation Army, a splinter group of the Irish Republican Army, has taken credit for the explosion and threatened more violence in the weeks prior to the elections of the new Irish assembly.

First nuclear plant closes

The nation's first nuclear power plant is closing down because of the lack of need felt by the Department of Energy.

The Shippingport, Pa. plant has served as a federal research center since December, 1957. The center has generated power for the surrounding area while researching new technologies in commercial nuclear power.

The Department of Energy will spend the next year shipping radioactive material and spent fuel rods to federal labs and storage sites in Idaho and Washington. When finished dismantling, the site will contain only the original concrete foundation.

"The Psychological Aspects of Divorce" will be examined during a workshop conducted by Dr. A.G. McCormick of the psychology department from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday. ' "This workshop is not only for divorced couples, but married ones and people who may be living together, because they are subject to all the joys and heartaches of the married," Dr. McCormick said.

Dr. McCormick mentioned that the divorce rate in Oklahoma City is currently 50 percent "and in a city north of San Francisco, the rate is seven out of every ten."

McCormick will begin the series with "The Myths of Marriage," exploring the cause of high, unrealistic expectations of marriage and the need for a redefinition of goals.

Dr. Jim Wagner, marriage counselor and pastor at St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church in Oklahoma City, will analyze the roles assumed by people in a marriage. A question-and-answer period will follow.

The Bureau of Government Service, directed by Dr. James Caster, acts as a public service program of the political science department. The bureau works with ongoing projects ranging from seminars to contests.

"Outline of Oklahoma Government," the textbook required in many college courses across the state, is written by CSU political science professors and published by the bureau. The book is used by the American Legion at Boys and Girls State in their summer model government workshops.

The bureau also sponsors a Colloquium of Distinguished Scholars and Statesmen in conjunction with the political science department and Dr. Bill Lillard, president of CSU. This program is a lecture series offered for the public during the spring semester. Past speakers have included Thomas Cronin, political scientist and author; Richard Viguerie, financier of conservative campaigns and former congressman Tom Steed.

The bureau is consulted by small city governments who cannot afford professional help in keeping their ordinances in compliance with new guidelines.

Caster, with the help of other professors, updates the ordinances and prints copies using university facilities.

The department also contributed to a current events contest, "Operation Bright Light," sponsored jointly by CSU and KTOK Radio. The bureau was asked to compose relevant questions on state and national issues for the contest. Caster also headed the judging panel for the event, which offered scholarships to high school seniors.

Library gives research tool The Max Chambers Library has recently extended the On-Line Database Search Service (ODSS) to include use by graduate students.

The ODSS provides a fast, easy way to obtain a list of sources on a given subject, plus it offers several advantages over the Readers Guide to Periodical Literature, according to Carol Barry, reference librarian.

If the research topic involves the coordination of two or more subjects, the computer is able to look up all sources at once. In addition, most of the information in the database is current, and the information being sought can be narrowed down to very specific aspects.

The system was first introduced to CSU last November when it was offered only to the faculty, said Barry. A $6,000 research grant funded the addition.

To use the ODSS, a bibliographic search request form is filled out. All possible information about the topic should be included. A discussion with a librarian follows to clarify the intent of the search.

The bibliography of sources will be ready in about a week.

Each citation includes the author, title and source. The researcher may then locate the sources, either in the campus library or through the Interlibrary Loan service which connects libraries around the nation.

Ten awards offered to English students Ten grants of $193 each will be awarded for the 1982-83 English department fee waiver scholarships.Graduates and undergraduates seeking an English major or minor are eligible.

The applicants will be judged on financial need, academic performance and writing skill, said Dr. Charles Hembree, chairman of the English department.

Fee waiver funds are appropriated by the state legislature and divided among the institutions by the Board of Regents for Higher Education. The executive vice-president's office then allocates the funds among the departments.

"In the English department it's a matter of four of the scholarships being granted on merit and the others based on merit with need," said James Stewart, assistant professor of English.

Deadline for application is November 1. Packets may be picked up in LA 101B. Recipients

will be announced in November.

Substitutes sought in small towns

By Carrie Simnacher

While small communities are experiencing a shortage of substitute teachers, the Oklahoma City metropolitan area has an adequate pool of substitutes according to the principal of Edmond High School and the CSU director of student teaching.

"In the past seven or eight years there has been a surplus of teachers. Unemployed teachers generally place their names on substitute lists and this tends to keep the need for substitutes under control," said Dr. Kenneth Elsner, director of student teaching.

He also stated the surplus of teachers gain experience and have an opportunity to meet people who can influence their careers. However, fewer students are pursuing an educational career, and thus the pool of substitutes is now being filled not only by graduate students, but also by retired teachers and professional parents.

"It seems that unless Edmond is struck by a flu epidemic, the lack of substitute teachers is unknown," said Sam Winn, principal of Edmond High School.

"Nevertheless, smaller communities have a problem finding substitutes," said Elsner.

"There are several reasons for the lack of substitutes such as the unpredictability of the job and smaller school districts. Also, smaller districts cannot hire on contracts and a substitute can only work 35 days without a teaching certificate," said Virginia Webb, principal of Crescent Public Schools.

She also stated that although Crescent schools used 11 substitutes last year, the lack of substitute teachers is an "age old problem."

"A limited amount of college graduates, students and non-professional mothers fill substitute positions in Crescent, but more people are needed," said Webb.

"A small community like Crescent does not have an abundance of professionals or college graduates, so finding qualified substitutes is very difficult," said Elsner.

Anyone interested in substituting in the Crescent area should call Virginia Webb at 405969-3666.

Most 12 year old boys dream of growing up and becoming firemen or doctors but Dr. Ernie Perkins, evangelist for the Baptist Student Union revival this week, achieved what he wanted to do at the age of 12. He became a licensed preacher and has pastored and evangelized every since.

Paul Purifoy, minister of music at Village Baptist Church will also accompany Perkins with music.

The revival begins at 6:45 p.m. each night through Thursday.

"I grew up in a small rural Arkansas town," said Perkins.

"My dad was an alcoholic and we never went to church. I listened to the Assembly of God preacher on the radio and I became aware that my life needed a change."

Shortly following the program, at the age of nine, Perkins accepted Jesus Christ as his savior and became a born again christian.

"I felt a conviction and one day out in a corn crib, I did exactly what the radio minister said to do and it was a real experience," explained Perkins. "I surrendered my life unto the Lord and it was just as real then as it is now."

When Perkins decided to change his life, everything in his family life began to change as well.

"After I had accepted the Lord, I was ten years old and my dad changed from the community drunk to a marvelous christian man," said Perkins.

He also stated everytime he went to church he felt an strong urge to be in the pulpit and do what the preacher was doing.

"I felt like he was in my place. I started preaching when I was 11

and was licensed to preach at age 12," said Perkins.

Perkins also experienced a severe hearing loss in his childhood and this loss also contributed to some speech problems for him.

"I couldn't make certain vowel and consonant sounds when I spoke, however when I was in the pulpit everyone could understand me," said Perkins. "For some reason, there was a degree of

understanding."

treasurer of the Capitol Baptist Associaton, which has several outreach ministry programs.

"Our ministry is not a social ministry" said Perkins. It is a church community ministry. We work through the churches that support us."

Perkins, who believes strongly in BSUs, said that the time for the revival is important because of the changing attitudes of college students.

"College students today are

"I feel the BSU has a tremendous ministry, said Perkins. "If I wasn't a christian I would go to the BSU just for the fun and fellowship. You can be closer in a BSU than any other fraternity or sorority on campus."

Ernie Perkins

Perkins was well accepted as a preacher by both his classmates and the adults in Luxora, a small community in Arkansas.

"I was fortunate that no one made fun of me, nor did they provoke anything that would harm me," said Perkins. "I did not recieve any special treatment.

Ark. and I also married Wanda in this same town," said Perkins.

His next move was to Southwestern Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas and where he coummuted 120 miles round trip a day for four years.

While in seminary, Perkins preached a revival in Ohio, and upon graduation, he returned to Ohio and became the president of the Ohio State Pastor Conference for two years.

After his work in Ohio, Perkins returned to Arkansas to Fort Smith and stayed here for six years and also served as the president of the State Baptist Conference. His last move was a year ago to Oklahoma City where he became executive director

more conservative," explained Perkins. "They are serious minded and not ready to discount the thought of God." "Students a few years ago thought they could change the entire world, however today they recognize that it will take more power than themselves and thus they are ready to investigate all channels to find this power," said Perkins.

"I feel the BSU has a tremendous ministry, said Perkins. "If I wasn't a christian I would go to the BSU just for the fun and fellowship. You can be closer in a BSU than any other fraternity or sorority on campus."

NFL player strike, a mistake

By Robert Slankard Althrough professional football players have often been unfairly stereotyped as 'dump jocks', it is apparent when it comes to financial matters the pro-players can hold their own with many a stock broker.

At the basis of the current National Football League strike are two matters. The first deals with $2.1 billion being paid to the teams through television contracts. The National Football League Player's Association wants 50 percent of the take.

The second issue evolves around a wage scale, based on seniority, demanded by the players.

Clearly these aren't the type of figures 'dumb jocks' would be throwing around.

The resulting deadlock has resulted in the first regular season strike, including canceled games, in NFL history.

Through Ed Garvey, the union's executive director, the players have presented a very cool and somewhat well organized front. But, even though the players have exhibited a great deal of skill in executing the strike, it is hard to believe they could have overlooked so many negative aspects of the strike that will probably turn the average fan very much against them.

To those who aren't fanatical fans, the most obvious drawback is the fact that nobody cares.

When a railways union goes on strike, consumers suffer. And when the police or fire departments strike, citizens suffer. But who really suffers when the proplayers strike?

When the pro-baseball players struck last year, there weren't to many alternatives to fans.

However, pro and college football run 'neck and neck' as to which is more popular. High school football is also a very popular Friday night tradition. The average fan will simply be able to find an alternative to pro ball.

It will also be hard for the players to find much compassion from a population that is in the mists of a rather depressed economy. It is difficult for a person who has just been layed off of a job to feel much pity for an athlete making $100,000 a year.

The average pro-football player makes somewhere between $84,000 and $90,000 a year.

Although the NFLPA likes to bring out the fact that football players are the lowest paid among America's major pro team sports, it is obvious they still make a great deal more than most Americans dream of.

According to figures in the Daily Oklahoman, the average baseball player earns $143,000 per year; the average basketball player, $186,000 per year and the average hockey player, $120,000 per year.

But left out is the fact that the National Hockey League teams play over 80 games in a schedule, the National Basketball Association teams play an 82 game schedule and the Major League baseball teams under takes a 162 game slate. An NFL team plays 16 games during the regular season.

The players feel that they are the product that is marketed and they should be entitiled to more money. But they forget that the team owners are the ones that foot the bill for such 'small items' as stadiums and travel costs.

The owners also take a chance when they sign players to huge contracts that those players will be able to perform. Who paid the price last year when million dollar quarterback Vince Ferragamo fell flat on his face, playing for the Montreal Alleouetes? Whether it's coincidence or not, the Alleouetes folded at the end of the season.

If the players want a share of all the profits, or enter in as 'partners' in affect, they should be willing to pay the bill when a few of their fellow players can't preform up to expectations, or the cost of a $100,000 contract.

Bronchettes strengthened with signing of LeGrande

By Sarah Hale At first glance you would think Leigh LeGrande was a tall, slender New York model,instead she is an 18 year old freshman at CSU. LeGrande is one of two new freshman starters on the girls basketball team. She is from Luther, where she played high school basketball four years.

During her junior and senior year, Luther made it to the area semifinals and LeGrande was an All-Stater.

LeGrande visited a number of schools but CSU was her choice because she felt the team had a lot of depth and played a fast game.

Coach John Keely said he was glad she chose the Bronchettes.

"I'm just tickled to have her. I recruited her because she's one of the best ball players in the state and she's fairly close to CSU." Keely went on to add that at the time LeGrande was wanting to attend CSU, the program didn't have a lot of financial aid to give her. However Keely was eventually able to provide the scholarship.

Keely also said that because of her talent she would probably play gaurd

"Leigh is 5'10" but she's able to handle the ball real well. She's also a good outside shooter. And can also penetrate and has a good jump shot."

LeGrande feels optimistic about the upcoming season. All of the starters from last year's 25-10 team which finishd eighth in the nation are returning and the women are working hard, according to her.

Students angry over player strike

In a recent poll conducted around CSU, a majority of those interviewed expressed great displeasure with the NFL strike, particularly with the players.

"Most of the players in the NFL make more money than the average person and with all the unemployment, I think the fans will resent it," said Brian Pitre, a sophomore from Oklahoma City.

Steve Austin and Frank Henderson, both seniors from

Oklahoma City, don't believe the unity of the players is as stong as the player representatives claim it to be, especially among the younger players, but they do believe that if some strike, all will strike whether they want to or not.

They also said that fifty-five percent of the ticket earnings, which the players are currently demanding, was to much to ask for and believe the player's demands will come way down.

Another person who feels the players are being unfair is Eric Freeman, also a Oklahoma City senior.

"I am against the strike, but I really don't believe they will be playing football next weekend," said Freeman.

Bronchos whip HPU behind Page passes The Bronchos looked unbeatable for 3 1/2 quarters against Howard Payne Saturday night.

However, the Yellow Jackets made the game a little to interesting for many CSU fans in the first quarter as the small Texas school took the opening kick-off 80 yards for an early 7-0 lead.

But in the span of just 10 minutes, Randy Page led the Bronchos to four touchdowns and CSU coasted from there to a 42-7 rout.

The sophomore from Oklahoma City Southeast through five touchdown passes, tying the CSU record held by Keni Ray against Western Colorado in 1969. Page finished with 13 completions in 20 attempts for 216 yards.

For his accomplishments, Page was named this week's District Nin Offensive Player of the Week.

CSU swept the award as David Rolle, a junior defesive tackle from Oklahoma City, was chosen as the District Nine Defensive Player of the Week.

CSU's first touchdown was set up by an Ed Desherow interception and an 11 yard return to the HPU 22 yard line. After rolling 15 yards on a quarterback keeper on first down, Page found Bruce Vann for a five yard touchdown. The conversion by Craig Dawkins was good.

The Broncho's second touchdown was also set up via the turnover, this time a fumble recovery by Rolle at the HPU 17. It took Page just one play to find a streaking Daric Zeno for a 17 yard strike. Dawkins second conversion put CSU up by a 14-7 score with just 15 second left in the opening quarter.

CSU's third consecutive touchdown came on a 26 yard pass from Page to Randy Jones, ending a four play, 86 yard drive. The biggest play in the march was a 48 yard reception by Willie Henderson.

The Bronchos closed out the first half scoring on their next possession with a 80 yard drive culminating in a 33 yard touchdown toss from Page to Henderson.

Page showed little sign of cooling off in the second half as he led the Bronchos to a 60 yard drive, ending with his fifth TD toss, this one a four yard pass to Bob Campo, on CSU's first possession.

Randy Preston's first interception of the year and his 24 yard return to the HPU two yard line, set up CSU's last touchdown, a two yard run by Chetti Carr. Dawkins sixth conversion of the game was also good.
