Students on Grenada not ladmissable here'

By Terri Carpenter Staff Reporter The U.S. medical students on Grenada at the time of the invasion were there because they could not meet the standards of medical schools in this country, according to the featured speaker for the CSU Colloquium of Distinguished Statesmen and Scholars.

Dr. Donald Cutter, who was on campus this week, is an expert in Latin American studies and was a lecturer for two years at Universidad, Autonoma De Guadalajara, Mexico. This, Cutter said, is how he has obtained first-hand experience with the type of situation now in Grenada. Cutter also served as an advisor to the State Department.

Cutter said he experienced a similar situation with the American students at the university in Guadalajara.

"They were there because for some reason or another they were not admissible to U.S. schools," Cutter said.

"The reason for these medical schools outside of the U.S. is because U.S. medical schools have a very difficult set of entrance requirements—one concerns the age of the student.

"Most of the students at these out-of-country medical schools are over-age by U.S. medical school standards which usually reject people who are over 30 years of age.

"Another depends upon the major the people have had in their undergraduate work. Many medical schools insist that it be a predoctoral training program, or at least a biology, anatomy or physiology major. But most of these out-of-country schools will take almost any major."

St. George's University, with an enrollment of 1200 students, has a tendency to admit many more students than they anticipate will complete the medical program, Cutter said.

'Utilities running wild'

Guild may run for Corporation Commission

By MaryGaye Franklin Staff Reporter Dr. Tom Guild, an assistant professor political science at CSU, is considering a campaign for a spot on the Corporation Commi-

sion in 1984, although he has yet to officially announce candidacy.

"I am seriously considering the possibility of running for the Corporation Commission in 1984," Guild said. "I plan to make my final decision whether or not to run in May, 1984."

Guild is now trying to see if there is the financial and origanizational support for him in the republican party and "reformminded democrats" in the state.

Guild said he is looking for support from those who do not think the Corporation Commission is doing an adequate job representing the public intrests. This means keeping the utility rates down to a reasonable rate so customers can expect to be able to afford to pay their utility bills, he said.

Guild said the basis of the problem is the Corporation Commission allowing the utility corn-

panies—who are monopolies with no competition—to have a 17-18 percent rate of return on their investments, while privately owned companies with competition are only allowed a 10.9 percent return on their investments.

This high rate of return on investments is passed on to the customer in the form of higher utility rates.

"What in essence is happening is while privately owned companies and individuals are having to bare the brunt of the recession and having to tighten their belts to get by, the utilities are running wild and the Corporation Cornmission seems to be doing little or nothing to force the utility cornpanies to adopt efficent business practices so that they too only get a 10-10.9 percent of return," Guild said.

According to Guild, when a company has no competition and is guaranteed a high rate of return on its investment then it is going to have very low incentive to be efficent in its business, servicing and employment practices.

"There is no incentive to cut expenses down so that you are running the company at maximum efficency and getting the most for every dollar," said Guild.

"I kind of hate to say this, but under present Oklahoma state law there is a good chance that some of the commissioners could be bought off by the utilities and the folks that they regulate.

"It is legal for anyone as an individual or a political action committee not registered with the federal election commission to give money to a candidate for the Corporation Commission up to

$5,000. It is not unusual for a candidate to take in up to $250,000 for their campaign.

"If the candidate does not spend all that money for their campaign they can legally convert the money for their personal use as long as they claim it on their income tax return."

According to Guild, Oklahomans have a system which allows someone represented by the Corporation Commission to directly or indirectly be part of the monthly living budget of members of the Corporation Commission.

"It is legal in Oklahoma but it is terribly wrong and unethical and the law should be changed as soon as possible.

"I am not saying that the utilities should not make a profit, I am saying that it is the duty of See GUILD, page 3

John Preston arraigned on charges

By Mike Sherman Editor CSU defensive back John Preston was arraigned on charges of assault and battery of a police officer Wednesday at the Oklahoma County Courthouse. A court date has been set but was not available this morning.

His brother Randy Preston, also a CSU football player, will face charges of resisting arrest and obstructing the duties of a police officer, according to Campus Security Chief Jim Dunn. Dunn said charges on Randy Preston would be filed today.

The two were arrested late Monday night on

charges stemming from a dispute with Campus Security officer Chuck Griffin.

Griffin went to the East Hall room of John Preston to check out complaints of loud music. Griffin charged John Preston shoved him and when he attempted to arrest him. Randy became involved with the incident interferred by moving between the them.

Both Prestons were released to the custody of John McGivern, CSU offensive coordinator, Monday night after they were taken to the Edmond police station. Both returned to practice Tuesday afternoon and are back in their rooms in East Hall.

Opinion Page Press black-out of war: Pyle would be amazed

By Mike Sherman

Editor Ernie Pyle rolled over in his grave last week and probably is still tossing and turning.

Pyle, who was considered the greatest American war correspondent during World War II, covered battles in North Africa, Italy, Europe and the Pacific—where he was shot down by Japanese machine-gun fire.

Editorial

...I DIDN'T WANT TO COME IN THE OFFSEASON, BUT OH NO, YOU HAD TO SAVE MONEY!!!

-

His coverage of the the front-line soldier in his column "G.I. Joe" was syndicated by 200 newspapers. For his works and bravery, Pyle received many awards, including the Pulitzer Prize for distinguished correspondence in 1944.

But Pyle's present-day counterparts were not given the opportunity to report war as it happened—they were unwelcome at last week's invasion of Grenada.

The journalists were not given access to the island immediately after the invasion either. Two days elapsed before the networks broadcast any footage of the Marines on the island.

The White House conviently decided that Pentagon press agents would have all the exclusives emanating from the tiny Carribean island.

Grade study scientific?

Comparison with 60s doesn't prove point Letter to the Editor: I have a few comments about the way Anne Lynch conducted her socalled study of grade inflation.

Back in the 60s, (she referred to that time a lot in her last article) there was a

lot of turmoil and political unrest on campuses across the nation. There were a lot of people going to college just to avoid the draft, the average age of students was lower and most of them did not work as well as go to school.

Unless she has analyzed the curriculum required for each and every class and gone over every test and monitored every teacher, (of both 1968 and now) how can she say that people aren't just working harder for a better grade?

She has made a statement that the current ACT scores are low and therefore in conflict with the high grades received here at CSU. This, to me, proves that she hasn't done her homework very well.

The average age of the student here at CSU is 27. (Higher than the average of the other Oklahoma college-level institutions). That means that most of the ACTs that apply to us were taken at least 10 years ago. Did she take those ACT scores into consideration, or is she talking about ACTs that were taken in the spring of 1983?

Also, I think she should take another fact into consideration. About half the student population comes at night and is working to support the schooling they are receiving. Maybe we are a little more mature than the average 18-yearold when it comes to studying and upholding grade points. When the cost of a class comes out of your own pocket, it stands to reason it is going to mean a lot to you.

CSU is in a class of its own on just about everything because it is a commuter school. I really get tired of everyone trying to compare us to the other schools. There really is no comparison.

There is also no way she can compare the way different classes are conducted. You can't compare the way a studio art or music class is conducted to a history or English class. The process is very different. I know if I were a teacher on this campus I would resent it if Lynch presumed to know how I should be teaching my classes.

Her rationale that giving Fs would make people work harder just doesn't hold water. She has a right to her opiI took my ACT test about 15 years nion. I just don't know what makes her ago, therefore I don't feel there is any opinion weigh so much around here. I relevance at all in comparing my think she should just stick to teaching university grades to the ACT test taken her classes to the best of her ability and last spring by a 17 or 18-year-old. let the rest of the faculty do the same.

Aside from that, I was in the upper If the students are fullfilling the repercentile on my ACT so I feel my quirements of their teachers, so be it. grades are in accordance with that.

R.J.M.

William Safire, a columnist for the N.Y. Times astutely pointed out that Reagan has taken a page out of British Prime Minister Margret Thatcher's book on how to gag the press. Thatcher employeed similar techniques during the war in the Falkland Islands.

Another television commentator noted that only once before had such an exercise been off-limits to the press—the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.

The Reagan administration even went as far as kidnapping three American reporters on the island during the invasion "for their protection." The correspondents were taken to Barbados where hundreds of other journalists were kept waiting by the military for word on the invasion.

Until Vietnam, the press corps had been very cooperative with the government. Even as far back as the Civil War there was no censorship. The press chose to muzzle itself when in danger of tipping off the enemy.

The reasoning that the press should be stifled because it could cost American lives would appear to be valid—if the Cubans had not known of the invasion at least a day ahead of time. Intelligence had misjudged the number of Cuban troops on the island, thus the first wave of invaders was unable to complete its objectives.

Possibly more puzzling then the black-out was the fact that Congressional leaders who had been allies of a free press, suddenly did an about-face.

House Speaker "Tip" O'Neal proclaimed that the time of invasion was no time for the press to be critical.

Does this mean that all opposing viewpoints should be suppressed?

Others claimed freedom was in danger. To the contrary, without a free press, there is no freedom, no liberty, no Constitution. A black-out like this one is where the danger lies.

The men who landed on le Shima in the Ryukyu Islands during WW II had a buddy in Ernie Pyle. Pyle told their story. But the Marines who waded ashore on the Grenadian beaches had no buddy. And civilians at home—they had no news. America was fighting a "secret war."

Crime unsolved

State,local, world news Forces warned before blast Administration officials said Tuesday that intelligence sources warned that American forces in Lebanon might be the target of a terrorist attack three days before the blast that killed 239 Marines in Beirut.

The intelligence warning did not specify the time or type of attack, but it did manage to convey a concrete warning instead of the usual rumors that had been circulating around Beirut. The warning was published in a classified bulliten Oct. 20.

One official was quoted as saying, "It was a heads-up, a clear, prominent warning." He also said that other, less precise warnings had been issued in bullitens earlier in the year.

Bus crash injures children One girl was injured seriously and six other children were bruised and cut when the school bus they were riding lost its brakes and crashed.

Cheryl Greenfield, 9, is listed in serious condition in the intensive care unit at a Bartlesville hospital. Six other children, ages 6 to 13, were treated and released for minor injuries at a Coffeyville, Kan. hospital.

There were about 15 students on the bus when driver Carl Micheal Bryant discovered the vehicle's brakes weren't working. The bus was traveling on a dirt road near the Kansas border when Bryant attempted to stop it by using the emergency brake. He then attempted a curve and the bus flipped over on its left side.

Post office wants rate hike The cost of sending a first-class letter through the mail could jump from 20 cents to 23 cents in 1984 if the rate hike is approved by the independent Postal Rate Commission.

Officials of the U.S. Postal Service said Tuesday the rate increase was needed to head off a deficit it says could reach $2.3 billion by by 1985.

Postal officials said that rising costs, including cost-ofliving salary increases, were contributing to the debt. The salary increases would affect more than 500,000 employees.

Residents' cars vandalized Mason Anderson and James Welch have been the victims of a crime similar in nature. Both reported damage done to their cars while parked side by side in the lot. Yet, one car owner handled the incident in the proper manner and the other did not, according to Campus Security officials.

By Deborah Thorwart Campus Security officer Bob Roberts was called to investigate a crime in the parking lot north of East Hall Tuesday morning. The report stated that a 1982 maroon Pontiac Firebird had the window on the passenger side of the car smashed in with the side from a tire-jack stand found lying on the passenger's seat of the car.

The car owner, Mason Anderson, reported that his T-tops had been stolen off his car.

Meanwhile, at the Campus Security office, officer Lin McLemore was making a similar report. His report stated that James Welch was reporting damage that had occured to his car while parked in the same lot.

McLemore could see that the 1979 maroon Ford Ltd. had the windshield on the driver's side broken with a blow from some object, yet the object remained unkown to him. The report went on to state that Welch had nothing stolen from the vehicle.

When Welch moved his car, he removed his vehicle from any evidence that could have been associated with the crime.

"I took the report for the Ltd. at the Campus Security Office because Welch had moved his car," said McLemore. "When an owner moves his car, I can only take information. I cannot act as a witness to the incident."

"We recommend not to move your car if vandalized until the situation has been assessed by Campus Security," said Chief Jim Dunn. "If the vehicle is moved, we can no longer associate the vehicle with any evidence found at

Carrier fire kills six The U.S. aircraft carrier Ranger suffered a fire in its main engine room early Tuesday, killing six men and injuring another 35. The carrier was operating in the Arabian Sea when the incident occurred.

The fire was extinguished within an hour officials said.

The first flames were put out within a half-hour, but the fire flared up again and then was finally extinguished.

The fire is the third serious incident reported aboard the Ranger since it sailed from San Diego July 16.

continued from page 1 "It would be very hard to get satisfactory medical training where there are hundreds and hundreds of people. The amount of clinical experience that they would get in medicine would be limited by the large number of students," Cutter said.

Most of the students attend these colleges for two or three of the four years, then try to transfer to a U.S. school to obtain their final degree, according to Cutter.

Cutter said that most of these out-of-country medical schools

Donald Cutter

don't require four years of premedicine and the medical curriculum usually begins directly out of high school and lasts four to six years.

"They would be able to practice medicine like any M.D. does in the U.S., they just wouldn't have quite the same degree," Cutter noted.

"The American Medical Association is probably the greatest opponent of this type of school, but they are not willing to let down their admission standards.

"The real quarrel that we have with the U.S. medical schools is they have such inflexible standards. Age ought not to be a bar to admission to medical school.

The aptitude of the student should be the final criteria, but it's not.

Of course, that leads people to go off to these places."

A primary reason President Reagan sent troops to the small Caribbean island was to protect the saftey of U.S. students attending medical school at St. George's, a university on Grenada. But Cutter said he thinks the danger was minimal to

Cubans may retaliate The State Department said Tuesday it views with concern reports that Cuba may be trying to retaliate for the U.S. invasion of Grenada by sponsoring death threats and ' attacks against Americans in Latin American countries.

The U.S. has warned its embassies and missions in Latin , America to increase security and that Cuban sympathizers I may target diplomats for revenge.

"With only a third of a jackstand, it is hard to tell who did it," said Dunn. "We also need Anderson to come in and complete his statement. Without his testimony we can't really say if the T-tops are really missing at this time."

It is assumed that Welch's car was broken into with the same jack-stand that was used to break into Anderson's Firebird, but since the car was moved there is no substantiating evidence to support the assumption. In order for students to protect themselves against such crimes, Dunn recommended that students complete all reports they file and that they don't move the car until the situation has been verified by an officer.

Drilling ship found The Glomar Java Sea, a U.S. oil drilling ship, that vanished during a typhoon in the South China Sea, was located by sonar on the bottom of the ocean.

The ship carried a crew of 81, including 42 Americans, 35 Chinese and others of various nationalities.

A Chinese workboat using sona spotted the ship resting on its side in 300 feet of water, about 60 miles south of China's Hainan Island, near Vietnam.

the students at St. George's.

"There seems to be a number of things that don't add up in the whole thing," said Cutter.

"Their (student's) right to protection is no greater than the right of the individals who live there," said Cutter.

Cutter was on campus lecturing to classes and other audiences throughout the week. Among the topics he discussed were relations between Spain and U.S., Indian water rights and the legal justification for the conquest of America.

Cutter, who is an O'Connor Professor of History of Colonial Texas and the Spanish Southwest at St. Mary's University, San Antonio, Texas, has a wide range of experience in colonial and contemporary Spanish culture and the American Southwest.

Guild

continued from page 1 the Corporation Commission to regulate the profits so that they are not disproportionately high as compared to the other companies regulated by the Commission. It says in the Oklahoma Constitution that the Corporation Commission shall prevent unjust discrimination and extortion. I think a profit of 17-18 percent could pretty well fit the description of extortion."

Guild also indicated that people are in a bind when it comes to dealing with the commission.

"I think that the people of Oklahoma are having a gun held up to their heads and indirectly the Corporation Commission is saying pay up or they will cut off their utilities. Without utilities people have a difficult time getting by. Therefore, people don't really have a choice, they have to pay whatever the rates are."

'Dining Room' to premier Nov. 70 at Mitchell Hall The CSU theatre department will present "The Dining Room" at 8 p.m., Nov. 10-19, at Mitchell Hall.

"The Dinig Room" is a satire about a 50-year span of the American upper-middle class. The stage is set as an early 20th century room of a typical well-to-do household.

The play written by A.R. Gurney Jr., is recognized as a long running, highly acclaimed off Broadway hit, said Don Brisow, assistant professor of oral communication and producer of the play.

"This play provides a unique acting opportunity for the six actors involved," added Bristow. "They will play a total of 57 different parts between them. This calls for greater reliance on the acting skills of the individual performer, rather than a reliance on the makeup or costumes," said Bristow.

The play will also be performed at the Oklahoma Theatre Center Nov. 4, during the American College Theatre Festival.

Tickets can be obtained at the Mitchell Hall box office for $4 per person. Students, faculty and staff are admitted free with CSU indentification.

Debate squad ranked first in nation

By Cherie Smith The CSU debate squad came in

with a number one ranking in the nation over such traditional debate powers as Vanderbuilt University, the United States Air Force Academy and the University of of California at Los Angeles.

The rankings were released late last week.

According to the Cross Examination Debate Association (CEDA) rankings released from from California State University

at Long Beach, CSU ranks number one over Southern Illinois and the University of Alabama, which came in third.

"I'm very pleased with the rankings," said Doug Duke, CSU debate coach. "Not only are our experienced debaters performing well, but our freshman debaters are doing extremely well also.

"We have the best overall depth we've had in along time," Duke added.

Duke is optimistic about the possibility of retaining the number one slot. However, many factors will come into play as the season wears on, he added.

scheduled for the first of the season become increasingly competitive," Duke said. "In some of these tournaments, we will debate schools we have never competed against. It's hard to make any predictions."

Last year more than 200 colleges and universities across the nation sought the number spot.

The CSU squad had a combined total of 62 points when the rankings were released. The winning ballots were obtained at the Oklahoma Christian College tournament in September where the squad took first and second, at Kansas State University, where the squad finished first and third and at Bethel College in Kansas, where the squad took second and third.

Tournaments traditionally have four levels of elimination: octofinals, quarterfinals, semi-finals and finals. The winning team in each elimination round is determined by three judges.

Teams that advance to elimination rounds debate until two schools are left in the final round.

The school that wins this round takes first place, while the losing school takes second. If two teams from the same school meet in the finals, no debate takes place.

Rather the school with the winning teams takes both the first and second place trophies. In debate terminology, this is called, "closing out" the tournament.

The CSU squad closed out at OCC and again at its most recent tournament at Southwest Missouri State University in Springfield, Mo. The SMS tournament proved to be the most successful one yet for the CSU squad.

The total number of ballots earned came to 31, surpassing the 27 obtained at OCC. Not only did the top two CSU teams meet in the finals, a CSU team composed of two freshmen debaters advanced to the quarterfinals and finished in third place.

District meet Friday

Harriers aim at fourth title

By Dean Johnson Coach Paul Parent and his harriers will defend their District Nine cross country crown Saturday at Oklahoma Christian College.

The Bronchos are coming off an open date and should be well rested to defend their title. CSU has won the district meet the last three years.

The last time Parent's squad participated in a meet was Oct. 22, when CSU ran to a second place finish at the Pittsburg State Invitational in Pittsburg, Kan. The Bronchos are currently ranked 10th in the NAIA cross country rankings, and is the only district team rated. However, the Bronchos should face some tough competetion at disrict from cross-

town rival OCC. The Eagles are led by seniors Steve Guymon and Mark Young and should give CSU a run for the money.

"I think that we have an excellent chance of winning," said Coach Parent. "Our guys are ready to run, it just depends on which team has the best day."

"I look for Jeff Murr, Tim Moore, Joe Scott, Lamont Frazier and possibly Carleton Albert and Mark Busick to lead our team," stated Parent.

Seniors Moore and Murr have consistently finished near the top at every meet for the Bronchos this year. This will be the first meet since Oct. 1 for Frazier, who along with Kevin Helton, have sat out the last few meets due to injuries.

The Bronchos will be without

All other runners are healty.

This years district meet will be a three team event—the fewest teams entered in the history of the event—with CSU, OCC and Oklahoma Baptist University being the only scools competing.

According to Parent, the Bronchos have stuck to their basic workouts in preparing for this meet.

"I think that whoever wins district has a good chance of finishing in the top 15 at the national meet," Parent stated.

The five mile race will begin north of the OCC field house at 4 p.m. In the event that the course becomes too muddy due to inclement weather, a road race will be held.

'Little Bit' enjoys CSU

Baldwin: Key player in secondary

By Christie Lanham What is a 5' 10", 203 lb. "Little Bit" from Sherman, Tx. doing playing football for the CSU Bronchos? What is a - Little Bit" doing playing one of the two cornerback slots? Well, according to junior Lester Baldwin "CSU is a fun place."

"Central State is all right. I liked it well enough to sign a four year contract with them," said Baldwin.

"They have a good academic program," said Baldwin, who is studying Business Administration. "I learn a lot. It is well taught."

The nickname "Little Bit" comes from his hometown of Sherman.

"When I was growing up I was a very skinny person," acknowledged Baldwin.

Baldwin had a very successful high school career. "I played every position where the coach needed a good player," says Baldwin.

He played safety, both cornerback positions, receiver, thirdstring quarterback and running back. The only position he is playing for the Bronchos is cornerback.

Baldwin has been in the Bronchos starting line-up on and off since he was a freshman, according to Marlon Gay, Broncho defensive coordinator.

"I think the coaching staff is superb," says Baldwin. "To me, the coaching staff up here is just like being my second father."

"That shows how close we are," emphasised Baldwin.

According to Baldwin wide receivers Daric Zeno and Willie Henderson convinced him to come to CSU. "They've been really helpful."

With the help of the United States Football League (USFL) small college players have an even better chance of playing professional football than they would if there were only the National Football League and the Canadian Football League.

"I feel like the USFL is a good league. They have a lot of good players," commented Baldwin.

Baldwin plans to walk on to a professional team upon graduation. "With the talent that I have I would not give up. I love the game of football and I hope to make a career of it."

Playing professional ball is "one of my goals in life," said Baldwin.

Baldwin feels the new league "helps the small college players. It gives everyone a chance to play after they get out of college. It gives them something to look forward to," added Baldwin.

Baldwin has been impressive thus far this season. He has 15 solo tackles, 10 assists, two fumble recoveries and three interceptions, one of which was returned for a touchdown. He was rewarded for his play against Northeastern (NSU) by being named District Nine Defensive Player of the Week.

"Lester is definitely a key individual in our secondary," Gay said. "A good aggressive type player."

For anyone who attends both home and away games, the absence of Baldwin was noticed during the game against East Central.

Baldwin was kicked out of the Northeastern game which resulted in a one game suspension.

"A conflict broke out in the Northeastern game that I was in on. A Northeastern player threw a punch at me. They (officials) said I kicked a NSU player which I did not," Baldwin commented.

He said that the officials were undecided about who was in on it.

"They were going to throw a No. 65 out, then a No. 1 out, on their last choice they threw a No. 6 out. I hated to miss the game, but...," shrugged Baldwin.

Baldwin commented that on the football field the players have a real "flashing temper. When things like that break out its hard to control," he commented.

"All of that is part of football.

Even the pros get into it," said Baldwin.

If a player gets kicked out of a game, that player is automatically suspended from the next game according to a new NAIA rule.

"I don't think that's fair because football is a game of contact and its a man's sport," interjected Baldwin.

Baldwin says he, the coaching staff and his fellow teammates don't take any game lightly.

"We're on a hot streak and we know what it takes to get ready."

The Bronchos have a chance to break the record for most consecutive games won, set between

1914 and 1915. CSU tied that record (14) with their win against Cameron Saturday.

"My fellow teammates are looking forward to that," says Baldwin. "The last two games we're going to put out an extra effort."

Baldwin gives 100 percent each and every game and he doesn't like anyone to show him up on the field.

"He's not one of those people who likes to get beat," stated Gay. Baldwin changed his number this year. Why? "My luck wasn't to good in number 34," cornmented Baldwin, who wore that number last year but changed to number 6. "1 felt if I changed it would get better."

What game sticks out in Baldwin's mind? "My big game up here was when we played NSU, when I was named defensive player of the week," stated Baldwin, who had two intercep-

The experts say...

Jacob Green, Seattle Seahawk defensive end, objecting to the statistical designation of "half-sacks": "What's that — a Baggie?"

Lynn Swann, the former Pittsburgh Steelers All-Pro receiver, who is now an ABC-TV football analyst, on his addiction to candy: "I'm only five pounds over my playing weight, but it's all Snickers."

Charlie Waters, former Dallas Cowboys defensive back, on the dream of every rookie: "First, you want to make the team. Then you want to be All-Pro. Then you want to be in the Hall of Fame. But, before that, you want to do a Lite Beer commercial."

Joe Salem, Minnesota football coach, before the 1-6 Gophers lost by a score of 19-8 Saturday to 1-6 Northwestern: "This is the battle of the movable defense versus the stoppable force."

Doug Betters, Miami defensive lineman, on the intensity of linemate Kim Bokamper: "He likes to be left alone before games. He always looks like he's about to slap a waitress."
