. 'Turpen-time' on campus
Victims become 'forgotten people' By Matthew Driskill Associate Editor "Oklahoma politics is like an arena (rodeo). If you haven't been thrown, you ain't been riding," said State Attorney General Mike Turpen in a speech Wednesday in the Liberal Arts building auditorium. The speech was sponsored by the Pre-law club. Turpen came to CSU to talk with students about the role of the attorney general's office in Oklahoma. Turpen is not a stranger to the CSU campus. He attended Boy's State this year and addressed the group and gave a speech at this year's commencent exercises. "I am famous for the fact that I gave the shortest commencement speech in Central State history. I told the students that night I was going to be the shortest speaker they ever heard and they gave me a standing ovation right at that point," Turpen told the audience. Turpen gave the audience a brief background on himself and then launched into the different aspects of his job. "Getting elected in Oklahoma takes hard work," Turpen said. "It takes money of course because you have to get on television and on the radio. But if you don't work hard then you're never going to make it. "I remember when I was running for office and my public relations man called me up at four in the morning and said, hey I've got it. How about 'Time for Turpen'? Then he said, no, no. How about `Turpentime'? I asked him what he had been drinking, but he thought it was good. Then he called me back about two weeks later and told me that was the best he could do, so we went with it. "I'm kind of embarrassed about the slogan, but hey, I won, so I'm not that embarrassed about it.
Turpen said that every two to four years there is a peaceful revolution at America's polls. "The power of the ballot box is pretty impressive, but the day comes when you have to get in there and do the job that you were hired by the people to do," Turpen said. "I think the office is one of service," Turpen said. "Some people see it as a power trip, but I see it as one of service. If I don't serve the people then I'm out of a job in four years." "I've tried to assemble the best staff possible I can. I tell them that if that phone rings at five on Friday when they are getting ready to go home that that may be the only time that person ever calls their state attorney and I want somone on the other end that wants to help that person." Turpen went on to describe the different aspects of his job as attorney general. "I try and fight for the 'givers,' the victims of the crimes that are committed," Turpen said. He said that he was trying to enforce the death penalty as strenuously as possible. Turpen said he felt it was a personal challenge as the attorney general to be a voice for law-abiding people. Turpen called victims of crime the "forgotten people." He also said when the criminals get away with crimes it is sometimes a case of organized crime over disorganized law enforcement. Turpen cited a case that he handled when he was district attorney of Muskogee as an example of the forgotten victim and a criminal that is getting off easy. "I was involved in one case where a man by the name of John Roxey Seward was shot and now Charles Colman, the
guy we convicted of the murder, is on death row, suing me for a $1 million because we won't give him the money we proved he took in the robbery that led to Seward's murder. "If we're not careful then victims like John Roxy Seward will become forgotten people and people like Charles Colman sit there and run death row," Turpen said. Turpen also told the group how the attorney general's office was fighting for the consumer. "We've set up a public protection division to fight for the consumer against high utility rates. I've got a lawyer sitting over at the Corporation Commission everyday, being a voice for the Oklahoma ratepayer. "We challenged OG&E in May when they wanted an interim rate increase. They said it was an emergency but we told the commission we didn't think there was an emergency. In the summer of 1983 there was not a rate increase because we opposed it." Turpen stressed that he thought there were good people working for the utilities but wanted the companies to get "down to their fighting weight. "I get people in my office all the time asking me what the deal is. I just tell them I want to trim some of the fat from their works. Let's give the consumer the best possible service for the lowest possible price," Turpen said. "We've also formed a citizens hot line where we have people answering questions over the phone about problems that people may have. We're trying to be a mediator between business and the consumer and trying to bring government back to the people back to the state," Turpen said.

By Traci Baucom "G-U-R-A-L-N-I-K," replied David Guralnik, lexicographer, when asked to spell his name. "It's a very phonemic name, spelled exactly as it sounds. There isn't an extraneous letter in it," he explained proudly. Guralnik is one of the world's leading lexicographers. What is a lexicographer, you ask? "A lexicographer is a person who assumes the responsibility of notifying the rest of the community about the state of the language—what words are generally accepted to mean, how they are generally accepted to be pronouned, what the general acceptations of the spellings are. "We are reporters. We report the state of the language." Guralnik's abridged definition of his title appears in Simon and Schuster's "Webster's New World Dictionary": "lex-i-cog-ra-pher (n.) a person who writes or compiles a dictionary." Guralnik has been a lexicogtapher since 1941. He is editor in chief of Simon and Schuster's Webster dictionary division and author of "Making A New Dictionary". He has been recognized by the Ohio Library Association for his contribution to American lexicography by the Dictionary Society of North America and the American Names Society. As one might have guessed, Guralnik has a better than average grasp of the English language. He visited CSU Tuesday.to present a $1,000 scholarship check to Claude Aughtry, a Simon and Schuster contest winner (related story page 3). He had this to say about the English language and languages in general: "The English language is alive and flourishing. It has never been healthier in its life, contrary to all the rumors about its imminent demise. It will not die, I assure you. At least not until the culture that supports it dies. "There is a general principal that I'm certain applies to English as it does to most other
languages—languages tend to get better as they get older. Better in the sense that there is a greater richness from which to borrow. "The English language is at least three times the size of the language that Shakespeare had available to him and at least ten times the size that Chaucer had available to him. It's much richer. "We tend to have an idealized view of Elizabethan English. It was obviously a very effective form of the language for its time. Of course we only see record of those supreme writers who used it. We don't have the records of those who didn't use it as effectively. "Today we see everybody's uses. When we strike an average we have a tendency sometimes to think there is a decline in literacy, but I assure you, there isn't. When asked to comment on English professors' claims that newspapers are killing the English language, Guralnik replied, "Nonsense. Utter nonsense. Absolute nonsense. They may not be improving it particularily, but they (newpapers) can't kill it. It's indestructible. But surprisingly enough, what appears in the daily press is not written without some degree of skill. "There is a general trend toward normalization of inflections and inflected forms. When I was a small boy the past tense of 'dive' was 'dove'. Nobody would say 'dove' today, it has become 'dived'. "I like to think of dictionaries as 'time-stop photography'. Language is changing all the time. We are not conscious of it just as we are not conscious of the growth of a flower. But if you take this time lapsed photography at regular intervals you can see the changes. Every one of those 'pictures' show the changes, the patterns that occur within a language. "We are living through a period of enormous and distant growth. There are periods of exploration that occur in which new expressions, terms and words must be developed. We are in a period of exploration See `G-U-R-A-L-N-I-W, page 6

Opinion Page Fans should display respect to flag, university and God Letter to the Editor: Prior to the opening kickoff of every home football game there is a time allotted in which the fans and spectators can give honor and homage where honor and homage are due. To the university, to a divine Creator and to our great nation. I realize of course that failure to follow the norm is possibly due to ignorance of customs and courtesies. At the last home game, I noticed people sitting during the fight song, through most of the invocation and standing with their thumb up their lower posterior through the entire national anthem. Therefore, I feel a compulsion to write this letter to inform those among us who are ignorant of proper courtesies. I address this to them. First and foremost is the proper respect for the nation. A nation that gives you the freedom to do what you want except in this instance. When old glory comes by in a parade or other such time (for the first time only) it is proper to stand proudly placing your right hand over your heart and hold there as the flag passes six paces prior to your position and six paces after. Further, if males are wearing hats, they should be removed and held over the heart.
Thoughts I hate labels, and I wear no labels. When a man has to put something around his neck and say I AM, he isn't. Pearl Bailey There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so. Shakespeare-Hamlet We can become tired looking for an easy job. Anonymous

During the playing of the Star Spangled Banner, your posture again should be as prescribed above and your attention directed toward the area in which the colors will be displayed or raised. In simpler terms, face the flag pole in the south of the stadium. Then in compliance with the first amendment of our beloved Constitution, a time is given for the freedom of religion and a moment of Divine praise. Now even if you are an atheist, you should have enough common courtesy to respect the others around you. Finally with the divine gift of learning and the freedom thereof, respect should be given to this, our beloved alma mater. When ever the fight song is played everyone in the stadium should be on their feet in respect of CSU. Not only the fight song but also during the singing of the alma mater. Now really, the rules are simple. Stand with respect, devotion and pride during the fight song, alma mater, invocation and national anthem. So when the Bronchos play at home again, let us all stand unified as students of Central State University, as God loving humans and as proud and dedicated to liberty Americans. However, if you don't want to, may I suggest you seek employment as a pilot for the Soviet Union. I'm sure they can always use one more. Price Oswalt
Watt's 'slip of tongue' defended Letter to the Editor: I think your note on Interior Secretary James Watt (Sept. 29) was grossly unfair. Watt was not intending to be prejudicial or derogatory. He wasn't running the people of the committee down, nor was he griping about the make-up of the committee, he picked the members himself. If the complainers would have listened to the content of the speech prior to the remark they consider so "embarrassing," they would have heard Watt praising the committee for a job well done. People in the public light are more
apt to get criticized and are more likely to get all heck raised against them for a well-meaning statement, twisted and distorted into something it isn't. Mr. Editor, you so flippantly and casually dismiss Joan Rivers' cornments as "embarrassing to some." Why is Rivers' use of the most profane curse "a bit out of hand," yet Watt's slip of the tongue so unforgivable and boundlessly "embarrassing"? I think your judgement lacks. Watt apologized for his careless use of words describing his committee, but Rivers made them the butt of a joke. Even going so far as to imply that the
Contraceptive unavailable due to 'Dark Age' outlook Letter to the Editor: Being new to the CSU campus I'm interested in finding out what services are available to students. One of the places I called was the Student Health Center. I was appalled to learn the clinic does not dispense any contraceptive materials. But on top of that they do not provide pregnancy testing. This is 1983, isn't it? I realize that we live in the Bible Belt, but I really
thought we had progressed out of the Dark Ages. It is a fact today that people are sexually active. And I would venture to guess that this is especially true with college students. I think it is time for the Student Health Center to wake up and begin meeting the realistic needs of the students. After all, you guys, sex isn't dirty — it's a fact of life. Name witheld by request
handicapped person "walks with a limp." Well, he doesn't, he has a paralyzed arm, he's not horribly maimed or incapacitated. Maybe Watt's choice of words weren't the best, but at least he has morals and values enough not to curse God's name. W.K. Knowles ■

State,local, world news Combs indicted by jury A federal grand jury indicted State Sen. Mike Combs Tuesday, on an influencing-peddling charge. The jury alleged that Combs tried to extort $2,000 from a convicted drug dealer. The jury indicted Combs on the basis of information received during the trial of former Oklahoma County District Judge William C. Page. Richard Riley, the drug dealer involved in the case, used to work for Combs as a car salesman. The charges against Combs come from testimony in Page's trial that Comb's accepted a $2,000 bribe from Riley in 1982. In return for the money, Combs was supposed to impede an injunction against a firm that Riley used to own. Vista photo by Daniel Smith

Cease-fire failing The cease-fire in Lebanon fell into further dissarray Tuesday as snipers terrorized the Christian and Moslem sections of Beriut. At least one person was reported dead as a result of the sniper attacks. In east Beriut, populated mainly by Christians, a bomb destroyed a car belonging to Father Boulos Niman, head of the Christian order of Maronite monks, at a parking lot near his monestary. No injuries were reported in the blast.
Tax shelters targeted The Internal Revenue Service has targeted investors who channel their money into what they deem are abusive tax shelters, for an automatic tax audit. The IRS reports the number of abusive tax shelters has jumped from 400 in the 1970's to more than 325,000 today. The agency says an abusive tax shelter is a firm or deal that has as its goal, avoiding taxes, instead of making a profit. The IRS says the government is losing $1 billion a year because of the shelters. More than 18,000 cases are in litigation and the IRS reports that it has not lost a tax shelter case yet.
Lifespan high reported The Center for Health Statistics announced Tuesday that the average lifespan in the U.S. rose to an all-time high of 74.5 years. The center also reported that women still live longer than men. Women have an average life expentancy of 78.2 years as opposed to men whose average lifespan is 70.8.
Air safety checks ordered The Federal Aviation Administration has ordered its staff to increase inspections at airports to make sure it remains safe to fly. Administrator J.

'Chronic contest participant'
Knowledge of the language pays By Traci Baucom John Beresford Tipton, an eccentric, bored millionaire who enjoys playing chess with human beings, hands Michael Anthony a check for one million tax-free dollars, asking him to deliver it to an unsuspecting beneficiary. Thousands of late 1950's television viewers watched "The Millionaire" impotently as someone they would never know was handed the check. Fantasies of windfall wealth, of indiscriminate good fortune, of `fate' pulled at their imaginations, momentarily clouding their thoughts. Claude Aughtry, 51, teacher of French for Heritage Hall's kindergarten through fifth graders, is a chronic contest participant. When her husband, Bill,
who took a computer science course at CSU this summer, picked up several contest entry forms for her, she was pleased, describing the gesture as "quite a present." One of the contest entries Aughtry's husband acquired was sponsored by Simon and Schuster, a New York based publishing firm which publishes Webster's New World Dictionary. He obtained the form from CSU's University Center Bookstore. Other such entry forms were placed in bookstores across the country. "Simon and Schuster decided, as a promotional thing to make people aware of Webster's New World Dictionary, to sponsor a scholarship contest because it's important to every book publisher

that we have a literate public," explains David Guralnik, a language expert who is editor in chief of Simon and Schuster's Webster dictionary division. Some $15,000 in prizes were awarded. Five first prize, $1,000 winners and one grand prize, $5,000 winner were selected by the publisher. The only stipulation was that the money had to be used for tuition at an accredited institution of higher learning by the recipients or thier offspring. Prizes were awarded regionally. Aughtry was the winner of this central region of the United States, according to Guralnik. "There was a form that had to be filled out and some questions that had to be answered in connection with the dictionary. An entrant had to see a Webster's New World Dictionary to answer the questions," Guralnik explained. Aughtry answered all the questions correctly, mailed her entry in, then promptly put it out of her mind. Her entry, along with many others from this region, was put into a "hat." Fate guided an anonymous hand to her entry form, making her the recipient of one of the $1,000 scholarship checks.

Student's head in the clouds
Ultralights capture pilot's interest By MaryGaye Franklin Tim Blake has been high now for about 26 years and he hopes he never comes down. "I got my first airplane ride when I was three years old and my head has been in the clouds ever since. I hope I never get away from it, I've got to fly," Blake said. Blake, a 29 year-old, elementary education major here, has had his private pilots license since 1978. He is currently involved with ultralights, a new breed of aircraft becoming more popular all the time. According to Blake,"The first ultralight was invented several years ago when someone put an engine on a hang glider and discovered that it would fly. Today's ultralights are far cry from a hang glider with an engine, but that's how they originally got started." When asked how he got involved with ultralights, Blake explained, "In April I saw an ad in The Vista, it said they wanted someone who was at least a private pilot and had some flight and mechanical experience with aircraft. I have 100 hours flight time and two years mechanical experience. I was probably one of the only people here who even qualified for the position". Blake got the job with a new ultralight company called Sky King Aviation. "We're a 'dealertrainer company and we promote the sport of ultralight flying and sales," Blake said. The company recently moved from Edmond to Chandler Municipal Airport in Chandler. Blake is the head mechanic and airport manager there. The others involved in Sky King Aviation are: Steve Chase, president and a corporate pilot for C.L. Frates Insurance in Oklahoma City; Lonnie Ives, business manager; Forest Pinkard, salesman. The company is coming up on it's one year anniversary and
growth has been rapid. "Business has increased in the past year and is growing even faster since we've started selling the Pioneer Flight Star," Blake said. "Ultralights are becoming more and more common in the Oklahoma City area. We have had as many as nine at one time at our field in Edmond. There are more in the area than I had imagined." For the uninitiated, Blake explained what an ultralight is: "By definition, according to part 103 of the FAA regulations concering ultralights; the ultralight must weigh less than 254 pounds, it must carry five gallons or less of fuel, it may only carry one person, it cannot go faster than 63 mph and the stall speed must not be greater than 28 mph. Also, it cannot be flown over populated areas and can only be flown between the official hours of sunrise and sunset. There is no license required to fly ultralights although common sense dictates that a person get some training before attempting to fly one. "We won't sell an ultralight to anyone without first training them to fly one properly. We can have the average person flying within two weeks," said Blake. According to Blake the amount of weight an ultralight can carry varies from 220 pounds to 300 pounds for a single seater. Ultralights can be purchased either assembled or in kit form, it varies from model to model, brand to brand. "The ultralights we sell come in kit form. An average person can assemble a Rally or a Flight Star in around 30 hours," said Blake. "You can also buy completly built ultralights from some companies although they are more expensive." The cost of ultralights also varies greatly. Blake said, "I've seen ultralights advertised as low as $3,000.00 in extreme kit form, but I would question the safety

Something Every Night for CSU Students Monday
and integrity of the aircraft at that price. The average cost on the market today is about $5,000.00. The Flight Star is the most expensive in kit form at $7,495.00. "The Flight Star is a happy medium, between a kit and a factory built aircraft. You have to build it but all the holes are predrilled for you all you have to do is assemble it. It is a fast build type kit in modular form," said Blake. Because the sport is new, a lot of people don't know where to look to purchase an ultralight. "There aren't too many ultralight dealers around. If you didn't know anything except that it sounds like it would be neat to fly one and you want to find out more information about them, you would get an ultralight or flying magazine and look for advertisements for ultralights," Blake said. "You can rent ultralights now from other dealers and in the near future you will be able to rent ultralights from Sky King too, for about $15.00 to $20.00 per hour, Blake said. "You don't have to have an airport to take off and land an
ultralight, just a large, flat area like a field will do fine." Since people are usually concerned about the continuing cost of such a hobby as flying ultralights, Blake explained that the cost of mantaining an ultralight is low as compared to other aircraft. "Cost of maintainence on a ultralight is about $2.00 per flight hour and that's on the high side. As far as actual maintainence goes just watch it like you do your car, there isn't alot to wear out on an ultralight," Blake said. A problem that the FAA seem to have most with ultralights is people purchasing an ultralight and trying to fly them without taking lessons first. The ultralight pilot is governed by all the rules of the FAA concerning pilots. The problem seems to be diminishing as organizations such as Sky King Aviation come along who won't sell you an ultralight without training you to fly one first. "An ultralight is easy to fly once you know all about it, but there are a number of things you need to know before you go and try and fly one. We charge $450.00 for the lessons that in-

"Flying in an ultralight gives you a feeling of wonder. It's exhilirating. It gives yo a view of the world that the average man doesn't have.

RHA's task to improve hall awareness
By Christie Lanham The Residence Hall Association (RHA) of CSU is a group of students who work together keeping the dormitories in order. The organization was started in the spring of 1980. The first president of the organization was Don Jaeger, who is now the faculty advisor along with Associate Dean of Students Deanna Land. The purpose of the RHA is to improve residence hall communications according to their constitution and initiate programming, uphold and recommend residence hall policies and procedures and to instill pride within the residence, according to Jaeger. "We work hand and hand with them (Student Senate)," commented Jaeger. "Joe McCourry has been real responsive to the halls and has been real helpful." There is one resident assistant from each hall, one member from each hall councils, two members at large that are selected, making of total of 18 people working for RHA.

continued from page 1 now in two directions. We are going out into the greater universe and into the tiny microcosm, into the center of the atom. All of that kind of exploration which we call 'science' calls for a new vocabulary. In the past couple of decades there has been a heavier emphasis on the technical terms of English. Guralnik pointed out the word "clone", saying that a 1965 dictionary would have the word, but only in its strict, biological sense which wasn't precisely the meaning that developed later. "Now there is the total, extended, metaphorical use. It's a verb as well as a noun. This is another process in language that takes place regularly, the transformation from one grammatical part of speech to another," Guralnik said. "The French have, for several centuries, had an academy that controls, or at least tries to control, change within the language," Guralnik continued, "English, to its everlasting benefit, has never had such an academy. I hope it never will. I think it's that very freedom for writers to experiment that has made English the rich, international language that it is. It is the language that it spoken over the entire world, either as a first or as a second language. "There is both a natural tendency toward change and a natural tendency toward preservation of the status quo in language. It's that conflict between the two in English that keeps us in balance. My own natural inclination is to be very liberal about change in language. On the other hand, I appreciate the purists who tend to apply a brake to change. If change comes too rapidly there will not be communication." Because of the constant changes and additions to the English language, dictionaries are obsolete the moment they go to press, according to Guralnik.
Dormitory renovations continue By Christie Lanham Associate Editor The students who live in either Murdaugh Hall or East Hall, which are currently under construction, may be wondering when is the noise going to end. According to Mr. Robert G. Fields, director of auxiliary enterprises, the construction on both dormitories will be going on for quite some time. "We're replacing the heating system and will be putting in an air conditioning system," said Fields. The doors in Murdaugh Hall will be replaced probably next summer when students are not in the building according to Fields. The ventilation ducts will also be changed at the time. The Murdaugh Hall stairwell construction began in the first part of April of this year and the heating construction the beginning of June. The stairwells have been completed.
The ceilings in East Hall are being lower to seven feet five inches so that the place between the old and the new ceilings can act as an airduct in case of a fire. With that being done the electrical system has to be worked on also. "We will also be replacing the heating and air conditioning systems in the north and south wings, (of East Hall)," commented Fields. The air vent holes in the East
Hall doors will be replaced after the construction on the ceilings is through. The construction going on in East Hall is exactly what was done last spring in West Hall. After everything has been completed the cost on the construction done to the dormatories has been estimated to be about $1,900,000. Starting in the late spring of next year construction will begin on Thatcher Hall. Thatcher Hall
will be having the same things done to it that Murdaugh Hall is having done now. Recently installed fire safety systems in East and West Halls are connected directly to the Edmond Fire Station. The same system will be installed in Murdaugh and Thatcher this year. After a routine fire safety inspection the buildings were found not to be in compliance with federal safety laws.

Harriers win at OSU , . for forth straight time h By Mark Spears Sports Editor The CSU cross country team ran another excellent meet Saturday, winning the college-junior college and open portion of the Oklahoma State University Jamboree for the forth straight year. The Bronchos have finished first in each meet they have run in this season. The harriers finished the meet with 37 points, placing in the five through nine positions. Once again the Brochos were led by senior Tim Moore who finished fifth in a time of 25:38. Moore, who ran in the sixth and seventh spots most of the last year has been the surprise of the year. "I really didn't expect to see him at the top," said Coach Paul Parent. Parent commented that Moore worked hard over the summer to try and make this his best year. Rounding out the top five finishers for the Bronchos were Jeff Murr (6th in 25:48), Joe Scott (7th in 26:01), Lamont Frazier (8th in 26:10) and Allan Barnes finished 11th in the time of 26:33.
The individual champion of the race was John Sharp, running unatached, who finished in the time of 24:47. The sixth and seventh finishers for the Bronchos were Joe Horton (13th in 26:40) and Carelton Albert (14th in 26:43). Only one minute and five seconds seperated the first and seventh finishers for the Bronchos. Other finishers for the Bronchos were Rodney Buss (18), Mark Busick (20), Craig Hall (21), Willie Curleychief (35), Kurt Baze (40) and Mike Driskill finished 43rd. "We ran real well. A lot of kids ran the best they had ever run on this course," said Parent. The rest of the team scoring went this way: Barton County (Kan.) 57; Haskell JC (Kan.) 64; Hutchinson (Kan.) 105; Oklahoma Baptist 113; Allen County (Kan.) 186; Dodge City (Kan.) and John Brown had no score. The harriers travel to the Oklahoma University Sooner Invitational Friday. The 10 kilometer (6.2 mile) race is set to begin at 4:45 p.m. Vista photo by Hugh Scott Jr.
The experts say... Jim Hanifan, St. Louis Cardinal coach, inviting reporters to serve as tackling dummies for his football team, which lost its first three games: "It could give you some extra pay, and you've got a good chance of not getting hit." John Riggins, Redskin running back on being out of sync with the rest of the world: "I don't know if I'm ahead or behind, but I know I'm not even." Erma Bombeck, on sports reporting: " ...that in reporting sports no one ever 'wins' a game? They crush, stomp, triumph, trounce, bomb, out-score, out-class, overthrow, run over, edge out, hammer and victimize, but they never 'win."'

Baldwin handed suspension
Rolle lost for season By Mark Spears Sports Editor
The lopsided victory against Norteastern may have been the sweetest victory all season, but it proved to be fatal as the Bronchos lost David Rolle to a knee injury and Lester Baldwin for being involved in the fight that took place late in the fourth quarter. Rolle, a senior defensive tackle from Putnam City, was carried off of the field in the second quarter of Saturday's game. He had his knee operated on Tuesday morning and will be out

for the rest of the season, according to Head trainer Jeff McKibbin. Rolle finishes the year with six solo tackles, 27 assists and one quarterback sack. His replacement will be either Lee Haff or Vic Holder. "We haven't made that decision (who will start for Rolle) but both will play quite a bit as they have all season," said Head coach Gary Howard.

started the melee that took place late in the fourth quarter and resulted in his and Baldwin's ejections. Yet, Baldwin went on to play the rest of the game, resulting in some confusion as to whether he would be available for the game with East Central. Howard refused to comment on the ejection. Baldwin was voted District Nine Defensive Player of the Week and will be missed. He had two interceptions, one for a touchdown, one fumble recovery, two tackles and five assists. After CSU's first five games Baldwin is second in interceptions with three and fourth in unassisted tackles with nine. Starting this week in Baldwin's absence will Todd Tims, who has seen action most of the year. Broncho notes: Receiver Willie Henderson is just 56 ards shy of the all-time record for receiving yards. Henderson hs 89 career catches for 1978 yards. The record is held by Charles Dunlap (1967-70), 112 catches for 2034 yards. This weeks opponent East Central has the top offense in the country, averaging around 515 total yards per outing. Quarterback Brad Calip leads the way with 353 yards and five touchdowns rushing and 393 yards and three touchdowns passing. Fullback Leon Johnson leads the team in rushing with 475 yards and four TDs.

ECU boasts NA1A's No. 1 offense
Tigers should test defense By Mark Spears Sports Editor The undefeated and No. 1 ranked Bronchos face the surprise team of the district Saturday night when they travel to Ada to face the East Central Tigers. The Tigers, unranked in the preseason polls, have steadily climbed up the chart and are currently ranked seventh with a record of 4-0. The Tigers are coached by Pat O'Neal who is in his 12th season at the helm of the Tigers and has ECU off to their best start since he became head coach. O'Neal upped his carreer coaching record to 60-58-3 with a victory over Henderson State (Ark.) last Saturday. The main reason for ECU's rise to the top of the NAIA rankings has to be the play of the offensive backfield headed by Brad Calip and Billy Hammon. The Tigers currently have the No. 1 rated offense in the NAIA averaging almost 515 yards per game with the majority of that coming on the ground. Leading the way is fullback Billy Hammon, who in the Tigers four games has 559 yards rushing (139 yds. per game) and seven touchdowns, while tailback Leon Johnson has racked up 475 yards rushing and four touchdowns and is currently ranked second in the district in scoring. Hammon is a two year starter and he is only 180 yards away from his output of last year. Johnson, who played off and on last season, has already surpassed his output off 333 yards last year.

Ken Whetstone seems to be testing out his flying ability even though he lacks wings. Needless to say Whetstone didn't have a happy landing.
The big reason for the success of the Tigers is quarterback Brad Calip. The junior from Hobart has gained 353 yards on the ground and has five touchdowns as well as 393 yards and three touchdowns through the air. He is currently leading the district in total offense with an average of 186.5 yards per game.
When Brad Calip goes to the air his favorite receiver is his cousin Neal. Last year Neal, the tight end, led the Tigers in receiving with 16 receptions and 384 yards to be an All-Oklahoma Intercollegiate Conference selection. Neal leads the team this year with 12 catches for 249 yards and 3 TDs. He is averaging 62.3 yards per game and 20.8 yards per catch. Defensively the Tigers look to linebackers Ray Shannon and Mike Allen to make the big plays. Shannon and Allen are first and second on the team in tackles with 27 and 23 respectively. Allen also is the team leader in assists with 20 while Shannon is second with 19. With the power that ECU posseses the Bronchos are going
to have to be at their best Saturday both mentally and physically. "We can't afford to let down mentally after such a big win (over NSU)," said Howard. "I hope that we are mature enough to see we're going against a tough team, one of the best offenses in the country. If we don't realize those things, we'll get beat. "Unfortunately, there is no one person to stop. They have an outstanding quarterback, fullback and tailback. We'll have to play good solid football to win. They've got a good tight end to throw to. Our defensive secondary will have to play one of their best games." With the big victory against Northeastern Saturday the Bronchos have now won their last 12 games in a row spanning over the last two seasons and they hope to make it 13 in a row this week.
