University celebrates 91 st birthda

By Mike Sherman Assistant Editor

Students will be excused from their 10:40 a.m. classes Tuesday as CSU celebrates its' 91st birthday, outside the north entrance of the University Center.

During the festivities, students and faculty will be entertained by various Native American dances, performances by some of the university's dance and musical groups and a parachute landing.

The students will also be given an opportunity to "settle a score" with their favorite instructor or administrator in a pie throwing contest.

The theme of this year's birthday celebration is "Centennial Countdown, 91 and Running," according to Michele Merhib, chairperson of the CSU Birthday Committee.

Throughout the hour, cake and hot cocoa will be served, helium ballons will be passed out by clowns, CSU's Army ROTC members will repell down the University Center walls and contestants may register for a pie throw.

Following a playing of CSU's Alma Mater by the Old

North Tower Carillons bells and chimes at 10:30 a.m., the Jazz Band will perform. The Jazz Band will continue to play throughout the activities.

CSU's Kaliedoscope. Dancers will perform several dance routines.

A co-ed sack race will be held at 10:45 a.m. Winners of the contest will receive a t-shirt commemorating the university's 91st birthday.

The sack race will be followed by a text book toss. The contest will have two categories, male and female. Winners will be determined by the longest toss with winners receiving t-shirts.

Four parachutist will descend upon the activities at 11:10 a.m. The team will exercise various formations before making their landing on campus.

Following their landing, Jeannete Webster, 1982 Miss CSU and Freshman Queen will sing the national anthem, followed by a commemorative reading by a Motar Board representative.

At 11:20 a.m. students will throw pastries at instructors

and administrators during a pie-throwing contest.

The festivities will close at 11:30 a.m. with a singing of the school's alma mater.

With the cold season readily approaching, temperatures have dropped in the area. However, Merhib said the activities will still be held outdoors.

"We're hoping it won't be very cold because we don't have any plans to move it inside," said Merhib. "The only problem with the cold would be with the band and the dancers. But, so far they say it won't be too cold for them to perform."

Last year's birthday party took place under similar weather conditions. Merhib said there was a large gathering for the 1981 celebration. However, that celebration was held on a Wednesday when there were more students on campus.

"We are not really worried about attendance," Merhib said. "We just hope that the people that get out of class come".

Oklahoma City, Bowen wanted to know how many children in the state could use help.

"I called adoption agencies and found out there were a lot of kids who needed this service," said Bowen. The reponse, he said, has been overwhelming.

"It's amazing to me, the public response and concern about the children who need families," Bowen told the group. "When the first 'Wednesday's Child' program appeared on TV, there were over 300 calls from homes."

"It has been a fulfillment of a dream to work with 'Wednesday's Child' because I do more than just earn a living," he said.

Bowen said he enjoys keeping in touch with the children that are placed in homes but because of the confidentiality involved, he usually just waits for the adoptive families to contact him first.

"Some families want to establish a relationship with my family and I enjoy that," Bowen said.

"Because of project's success, more than half of the TV markets across the country have taken off on 'Wednesday's Child'," said Bowen.

Gov. George Nigh became the first governor in Oklahoma's history to succeed. himself Tuesday, by defeating his republican opponent Tom Daxon '"th 0301111 to spare.

By Tuesday night, Nigh had received some 63 percent of the ballots c,..st to Daxon's 37 percent.

In terms of real votes, Nigh received 493,378 to Daxon's 289,440, according to the unofficial results. Nigh's lead never dropped below 60. percent.

The official results are scheduled to be released late Friday by the State Election Board.

Nigh stressed to his followers that it was time to begin "to forget about the negative and look forward to the positive."

Daxon however, said that the people, though not electing him, had spoken for a change in Oklahoma.

"We've spawned a reform movement in Oklahoma, that will be heard from for some time," he said.

Daxon went on to congratulate Nigh on a clean campaign.

In other area races, Republican Steve Sill defeated incumbent Democrat Dian Copelin in race for the state house seat in District 81.

Efforts to contact both were unsucessful.

Meanwhile, Fred Snyder won his re-election to the Oklahoma county commissioner District 3, which includes Edmond and CSU. Snyder easily defeated E.L. "Pete" McBroom as unofficial results showed Snyder receiving 28,267 to Mc Broom's 13,972.

Opinion Page 'To freeze or not to freeze' is the question Letter to the editor Let's call everyone who uses their `freedom of speech' against the Reagan administration a communist.

Like the new Nuclear Weapons Freeze Movement, I mean why would sane, intelligent people want to stop producing the Doomsday machine?

Let's look at a real nuclear war.

They say that when it happens one of us (the U.S. or U.S.S.R.) will fire first, hoping to knock out as much of the others weapons as possible. And then the other side gets to 'serve', but in reality, it will be a Kamikaze War. To win or even hope to survive, the side to attack first must fire all of its nuclear weapons in an attempt to get enough weapons through the other's defense system. Then the first attacker will wait for the other to fire, knowing that it won't be able to destroy all the in— coming.

The build-up of nuclear weapon has been called for because the Department of Defense has painted a bad picture of our present military standing. But the truth of the matter is that our military force is second to none (but don't tell the public, they might want to cut their budget).

Sure, the military has its problems with drugs, new weapons that don't work and people, but so do the Russians.

Nuclear weapons freeze, sure, it's time we realize that the warheads we have built now can and will turn this planet into a true sister planet of Mars if the atmosphere isn't blow completely away. One member of Reagan's START negotiation team says that on-

ly a freeze can be validated but a reduction could never be.

A question: When this thirtyminute-war occurs, what will the third world powers be doing? No one has ever talked about that, do we have nuclear weapons aimed at South America, Arab nations, Indo-China and Africa. Do the Russians have theirs aimed to the south,too?

The Anti-freeze people have said

that the Freeze Movement is nice and misguided with communist backing, but if you look at it, the Anti-freeze would be better suited to the Russians.

So let's freeze something that we never really needed, because if one looks back through the ages, war has advanced us to a better life, whereas, Nuclear War will simply bury human civilization under six feet of radiation contaminated rubble.

Her life ended quietly

'Little boy' remembers Grandma Letter to the editor: I realize this is not your run-of-themill item which appears in a "letter to the editor" column, but nonetheless, I would like t share it with your readers.

Some called her mom; some called her aunt; some called her sister; some simply called her friend; but I called her Grandma. She came into this world in the spring as the leaves turned green, and left it in the fall, as those same leaves turned brown and yellow and orange. Her life ended quietly, with no screams or people rushing frantically around her...she simply squeezed my mother's hand one last time and closed her eyes to begin her eternal rest. It was just as if another leaf from one of the leaves on the trees outside the hospital had gently fallen.

Her life was much the same way; simple, peaceful and humble. She placed others above herself, and cherished all living things. She cherished life itself and lived it to the fullest until the very end.

I can remember myself sitting up on her lap when I was younger. It seemed

she could make all the pain of my life disappear just by embracing me and giving me one of those shy little smiles of hers. She was everything a little boy needed in a grandmother. She was such a giving person, and her kindness never ceased to amaze me.

She was a strong woman, also. It was no easy task raising four children in the Depression Days in Oklahoma, but she accomplished it, and produced four responsible adults, the youngest of which was my mother.

I learned much from Grandma. I learned what it really means to love, as I saw it in her every time I looked into her eyes. I learned what discipline was, by knowing how she deprived herself of things she badly needed in order to help her children. I learned about strength, by watching her in the last two of her life, as her spirit never dimmed and her faith in God never wavered, even though she was enduring a painful illness.

A few short days ago, she was buried in a cemetary just outside her

hometown in southern Oklahoma. The crowd had begun to break up, and the family was moving to leave, when my sister and I joined hands and walked back to Grandma's final resting place.

We each took a red rose from the spray atop the casket, and walked away. I looked at the rose, and thought how much it was like my grandmother.

They were both beautiful things to behold, inside and out. Tears filled my eyes then, as I walked farther away from the place Grandma lay. Through my tears, I realized another way Grandma and the rose were alike: everyone who came in contact with either of them came away a little bit richer.

Isabell Ray spread a little sunshine in many, many lives during the fourscore years she walked on this Earth, and made many people very happy. I am one of them, and I pray that some of Grandma's spirit lives in me. She was committed to the ages on October 30, 1982.

Election '82

Politicans play "Blame Game" at voter's expense

By Mike Sherman Assistant Editor Regardless of the outcome of the '82 elections, politicians and their supporters will continue to play games with the voter. The name of the the game is the "Blame Game," and it will continue right up to the 1984 Presidential Elections.

Editorial The democrats have placed their hopes on making big gains in the House of Representatives and particial gains in the Senate by knocking President Reagan's supply-side economics.

Reaganomics, they say, have caused the current unemployment crisis and crippled the economy.

President Reagan is quite adept at playing the "Blame Game" himself. In a televised speech, our fearless leader told us that all of the important economic indicators are pointing toward an end to the recession (which would be more correctly tagged a "depression").

In his next breath, the President told

viewers that yes unemployment was a problem, but the blame could not be laid on his doorstep.

Ironically, he condemned the democrats for blaming the country's economic woes on Reaganomics. Mr. Reagan has continually told the public to give his policies a chance to take effect. Two years was not enough to erase decades big spending mistakes by the demos. Doesn't that sound a bit

like scapegoating.

Hopefully voters weren't fooled by the war of words between the two sides and realized that the truth probably lies somewhere between the two extremes.

Ineffective social programs need to be examined and over-zealous defense spending must be curved. But most important, politicans should stop playing games and tend to the issues they were elected to decide.

Athletic director happy for homecoming spirit Letter to the editor: Congratulations, CSU students. I have been associated with Central State University's Athletic Program for 25 years as an athlete and a member of the coaching staff. The student support at the football games has never been better. The enthusiasm has been spontaneous and very supportive.

The Alumni which were present at the Homecoming game last Saturday

were very impressed by the conduct of our student body. I personally had a large lump in my throat when our students emptied the stands to welcome the football team at the start of the second half. This exhibit of supprot was appreciated by all.

Thanks!

Local, State and World News Love County likes betting Love County residents voted for something different in Tuesday's election—to allow pari-mutuel betting in their area.

Falconhead Downs Corporation intends to break ground on a series of constructions near Marietta today, a project which is expected to be a $50 million racetrack complex with a yearround racing facility, four hotels and a health spa.

The firm will work initially on those areas theoretically not to be governed by the proposed racing commission.

Speaker of the House Dan Draper mentioned in a press conference Wednesday that setting up this racing commission will probably be one of the next acts of the governor and the legislature.

Love County voted 1,676 to 1,553 in favor of the parimutuel issue and is the first to exercise the county-wide option.

Phase one is nearly complete on the new math and computer science building, located south of Howell Hall. The one-story building will house the math, computer science and s t atistics department as well as

the data processing center now located in Evans Hall. Original estimates concluded that the building would be ready to open by September, but summer rains delayed the construction process.

Van Vranken honored in October

By Carrie Simnacher

Accident victim wins suit A federal jury voted that the municipalities of Noble and Norman must pay $487,500 each in damages to a man partially paralyzed in a 1977 car crash.

Clifford Bannister was 17 when he swerved to miss a parked Cleveland County road maintenance truck. His car went through several obstacles before it finally landed on its back in a dry creeekbed, leaving him in a wheelchair.

Bannister's lawyer, John Merritt of Oklahoma City, has called the decision a landmark for this type of case because of a video-taped re-enactment used in court to indicate how the accident may have happened. The lawyer has used the same type of video technique before, but not in cases resulting in a jury verdict.

Good Humor man barred A University of Maryland committee has decided to make one exception to a recent rule barring outside vendors. The ruling temporarily ousted 59 year-old Elmer "Jake" Farral, who has been the campus Good Humor man for the last 19 years.

A petition signed by 1,442 students and a threatened boycott of the university's on-campus ice cream parlor softened the hearts of the 20-member committee, which agreed to make an exception Monday.

Although successful, Van Vranken said graphics are still his strength, but he will continue to devote equal time to oils, graphics and water color.

John Van Vranken has been named Artist of the Month for October by CSU's art department. Van Vranken was nominated by Kathryn K. Kunc, art chairman, for his water color of a thunderhead over an Oklahoman prairyland.

According to Kunc, nominees were judged on ability, exhibit, quality of work and finished project. The water color was completed this summer and took second place in the Cordale Art Show. Van Vranken said he usually portrays the Okahoman lands and wildlife through oils and graphics; however, he decided to experiment with water color.

Van Vranken said, "I began to dabble in art about ten years ago.

My father was probably the greatest influence in this decision." He went on to say that he was raised on a farm, which could account for his interest in nature scenes.

Van VI- 9.-, ken said he has never venture: 'uL of state for subject matter a' I has no desire to do so, whim c, rld classify him as a regional artist. He also said,"Being named Artist of the Month is

beneficial because of the exposure."

He went on to say that people learn to associate the artist's name with his work after becoming familiar with the artist's style.

Van Vranken said that his art reflects the time and area he grew up in.

Van Vranken plans to graduate in May with a master's degree in art education and enter the teaching field as an art instructor for a junior college. If he decides against a junior college, he will make use of his bachelor's in elementary education and teach at the elementary level.

Van Vranken said that he became interested in elementary education because children at this age are more apt to be influenced by art. He went on to say that art can be easily incorporated into most aspects of elementary education.

Van Vranken has written a book, "Monthly Bullentin Boards," which will soon be published. "It is some indication as to how art and elementary education intermingle," said Van Vranken.

Election results vary Congress now has a Republican Senate and a Democratic House, thanks to Tuesday's nationwide elections.

In the 33 races for Senate seats, 27 incumbents kept their posts, one person left voluntarily and one person from each party lost his re-election bid, leaving 54 Republicans and 46 Democrats in office for the next six years.

In the House 26 seats went to Democrats, who ended up with a total of 260 representatives. Republicans settled with 159 seats and 14 elections remained undecided as of this morning.

In the governors' races, Democrats won 27 seats for a total of 36, while Republicans kept five offices and added eight to make 13. The close Illinois election between Republican Governor Jim Thompson and Democrat Adlai Stevenson has yet to be totaled.

President Reagan said in a press conference Wednesday that he was pleased by the election results and anticipates no changes in current policies. However, major Reaganomics opponents Ted Kennedy of Massachusetts, Robert Byrd of West Virginia and Howard Metzenbaum of Ohio will be returning to Washington.

Truman scholarships deadline nears

By Eva Galipeau Sophomores who intend to pursue a career in government leadership may be eligible to receive up to $20,000 in scholarship funds from the Harry S. Truman Foundation.

The Truman scholarships, established by Congress as the official federal memorial to honor President Harry S. Truman, are awarded on the basis of merit to students who will be college juniors in the 1983-84 academic year. The grants cover payments of tuition, books, fees and roomand-board up to $5,000 a year for four years of undergraduate study.

"CSU students have the potential of winning one of these scholarships," said Dr. Randall Jones, political science professor and CSU faculty representative for the competition. "Anyone interested in pursuing a government career should apply."

To be eligible, students should be American citizens maintaining a B grade average and pursuing an undergraduate field of study that will permit admission to a graduate program leading to a career in government.

Students will be asked to submit a statement of plans to pursue a government career, a list of his or her leadership positions in high school and college, and a statement of interest in a government career including educational plans to meet that goal.

Applicants must also write an essay of 600 words of less that discusses some public policy issue chosen by the student. The application should also include three letters of recommendation and high school and college grade transcripts.

A nominating board consisting of Jones, Orland Moore, assistant professor of political science, and Sharon Carney, political science instructor, will select two nominees from the CSU applicants for consideration by the Truman Foundation. From these initial applicants, the foundation will nominate four semifinalists from each state.

Semifinalists will be interviewed in February and March before a regional review panel in Dallas.

The board will select two finalists from each state plus up to eight

additional persons to be eligible for scholarships at large.

The 105 scholarship winners, including one from each state and four at large from each region, will be announced in April.

"Several Central State students have done well in past competition," said Jones. Since the foundation's inception in 1977, CSU has fostered two semifinalists and one Truman scholar.

Ben Odom, who graduated from CSU in 1981 with a political science degree, received the Truman scholarship in 1979. A former president of the Student Senate, Odom now attends law school at the University of Oklahoma.

"In addition, the foundation has had a surplus of money these last two years from interest gained on investments,"

The chances are high that a second student from Oklahoma will receive a scholarship in addition to the student selected by the national foundation, he explained.

Deadline for submission to the CSU nominations board is Nov. 10.

Interested students are asked to contact Jones for the necessary forms and additional information, ext. 270.

CSU Debate team places first at Colorado tourney

Only one of these pens is thin enough to draw the line nelow.

It's the extra-fine rolling ball of Pilot's remarkable new Precise Ball Liner Pen. (If you haven't guessed which one it is, look at the top photo again.

It's the trim beauty on the bottom left.)

But unlike the others, the real beauty of Pilot's Precise Ball Liner is the extra-fine line it puts on paper. It glides smoothly across the page because its tiny tungsten carbide ball is held securely within a needle-like stainless steel collar. A collar that makes the Precise Ball Liner the most durable, trouble-free rolling ball pen you can buy.

It's letter-writer's joy. An artist's dream.

A scribbler's delight.

One more fine point: the Pilot Precise Ball Liner doesn't have a big, fat price. It's just a skinny \o' $1.19.

CSU debaters, Rhett Davis, sophomore and David Widdoes, freshman, placed first in junior division debate at the Pikes Peak Forensics Tournament, at Colorado Springs, Oct. 28-30.

More than 100 teams representing 38 schools participated in the three-day competition conducted at Colorado College. Davis and Widdoes finished eight preliminary rounds Thursday and Friday with a record of seven wins and one loss, allowing them to advance to the quarterfinal round on Saturday.

In three elimination rounds, the team ousted some of the top teams at the tournament, including the United States Air Force Academy, the University of Colorado and the University of Wyoming, to claim the first place trophy.

Davis was also named top speaker in junior division and Widdoes received the second place speaker award.

"I was tremendously pleased with their performance," said Douglas Duke, debate coach. "That kind of consistency is what we're aiming for."

Two CSU teams also entered in the Cross Examination Debate Association (CEDA) division: John Buttry, freshman, and Jim Hill, senior; and Bev Graham and Eva Galipeau, sophomores.

Buttry and Hill compiled a preliminay record of five wins and three losses while Graham and Galipeau finished with a record of four wins and four losses. Neither team advanced to the elimination round.

"There were 64 teams in the CEDA division and the competition was tough," said Duke. "But the only way we can improve is by debating superior teams. I think this tournament was a learning experience."

The squad will travel to Wichita State University, Kansas, Nov. 19-21.

Student learns 'Howe' to become a license pilot

By Kris Miller

Some students anxiously await the day when they can legally drive on the highway. But one particular CSU student worked four years to become a licensed pilot for driving in the skies.

Lee Howe received his training from Oklahoma Jet with a total of 58 flying hours in the fall of 1981.

He was required to take an oral examination, a written test and a flying test. The flying test involved one and a half hours of flying time with maneuvers and knowing minimum skills to be a pilot.

According to Howe, receiving a pilot's license is like receiving a ticket to learn. Howe's newly found hobby cost $2,995 with $44 an hour spent in plane rental and $14 an hour spent for an instructor to get the training needed for a license. However, the private pilot's program does guarantee a pilot's license with the money paid for the program.

Howe never seemed to be leery before training for his license. He felt more comfortable knowing that there are fewer airplane than automobile accidents every year.

"Flying is a pretty safe travel when only one plane accident occurs with every 100 hours flown in planes," said Howe.

"Many of the smaller aircraft accidents are stupid errors made by pilots.

"Errors mostly include a pilot's failure to know how to handle a plane that is too heavy or a pilot unable to handle a plane in bad weather," Howe explained.

Howe's solution to stopping accidents is for a pilot to know his own personal limitations and those of a plane.

"A pilot cannot know the capabilities and functions of a plane without studying it in books, training and flying it," said Howe.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requires five hours of training with a specific aircraft.

"I don't like flying an airplane that I don't know anything about," Howe said, "I want to know about the plane in case something happens."

"I'm very much a person for discipline and following pro-

cedures because it could save your life," said Howe.

Howe wasn't always so confident about flying when a little turn of events in the sky could have cost him his life. He was practicing a maneuver with the plane and ended with the plane in a tail spin. The plane lost 2,000 feet in 10 seconds. Howe's action recovered the plane in 10 seconds.

"It not only scared the heck out of me but the experience makes me think carefully of my actions before actually doing them," said Howe.

Howe was not discouraged by this experience but continues to build up his flying hours by weekly flight trips to get a commercial and instrument license.

Howe's future plans include getting his own plane with the aid of his father and perhaps doing some commercial flying.

"Students were more interested in army avaition on this campus than I could imagine," said Lt. Col. James Case, chairman of the military science department, in reference to the first army avaition day celebrated Wednesday on CSU campus.

Capt. Olin Saunders, a decorated pilot from Fort Rucker, Alabama made a fifty minute multi-media presentation to the Military Science Department during their luncheon in the Central Cafeteria Dogwood. The program emphasized the army's role as the third largest air force in the United States.

Following the luncheon presentation, Saunders conducted an open seminar on career opportunities available in Army avaition in the ROTC department.

"The purpose of aviation day is to focus attention on Army avaition, which is a major segement of the Army. Presently, there are some 12,000 pilots in the army," said Saunders.

Saunders, who graduated from high school in Danville, Virginia, was selected for a ROTC scholarship and attended Pennsylvania Military College.

While in college, Saunders was not only a football player, but also served as treasurer for his class. He was also selected to be the cheif justice of the student judicial court which tried all displinary problems short of felonies.

As a graduate of the class of '75, Saunders had achieved several honors, including distinguished military graduate, Who's Who Among Students in American Colleges and Universities and ROTC Cadet Commander.

With a major in international affairs and political science, Saunders went to Fort Knox, Kentucky for a training course on tank unit commander. From here he was stationed at Fort Bragg, N.C., where he became lieutenant of the 82nd Airborne Division.

"While stationed here I became jump master which made me responsible for 120 parachute jumpers, jumping from C141 jet planes. I had to call

WE'VE

all the shots and be certain that each jumper could land safely," said Saunders.

He also served as commander of the tank platoon, calvery platoon, and infrantry platoon. Saunders was company commander of an airborne company.

From Fort Bragg, Saunders went to flight school at Fort Rucker, Ala. where he was trained to fly the Cobra, gunship helicopter and the UH-1H Utility helicopter. After flight school Saunders received his flight wings and was promoted to captain.

"From Alabama I went to Korea and served in the 2nd Infrantry Division of the army," commented Saunders.

He flew reconnaissance and troop lift helicopters for the division along the demilitarized zone of North and South Korea.

"During the time of our flights, trouble was still prevalent among the two border countries, and somehow we were in between the two rivals," said Saunders.

During his flights in Korea, he became qualified to fly the scout helicopter. His experience in Korea boosted his record to 700 flight hours and 48 parachute jumps.

Following his time in Korea, Saunders was selected to attend the advance officer training course at Fort Benning, Ga. Presently he serves as special assistant to the General of Fort Rucker. His major purpose is to recruit personnel for army avaition.

Saunders, who was awarded Outstanding Young Man of America in 1981, commented that his work with people is his major hobby.

"I enjoy speaking with people and I spend most of my time on the road, traveling across the country promoting army avaition.

"CSU did an very good job in promoting the avaition day, especially with the helicopter provided by the Oklahoma National Gaurd," said Saunders.

"This is the first time we observed a day like this on campus, and I think we might make this an annual affair," stated Case.

Broncs face Lions for season finale 16TISIrlk SPORTS

The Bronchos took a big step towards a possible playoff spot with last week's big 38-6 win over Cameron and will close the season, hopefully for just the time being, at Langston next week.

CSU is in position to have their best shot at the playoffs so far this year, however, a loss at Langston would be totally demoralizing.

There appears to be little chance of that happening though.

Langston is 0-9 on the year and has a 12 game losing streak, dating back to last year. The Bronchos lead the series 20-5-1 and haven't lost to the Lions since 1973. In fact Langston may provide an opportunity for the Bronchos to enhance their standings in the national polls, a key in the 0 playoff race, via the blow-out.

Cameron whipped the Lions 43-8 two weeks ago and it would seem the Bronchos could expect to at least equal that score.

However, Coach Gary Howard isn't worried about the final score of the game.

"It's not necessarily a game we have to win big," said Howard.

"I'm not going to put that kind of pressure on the team or the coaching staff. We're not going to pess to do this or that. We're just going to go out to perform as a team.

"They're a pretty young team right now, but our games with them have always been emotional.

We have to remember our goals and go out and do what we need to.

Translated, that probably means more passing for Randy Page, the sophomore wizard from Oklahoma City Southeast. Page is 371 yards short of tieing the school record for total offense in a season. That may seem out of reach but he is also just 108 yards short of the school passing record for a season. Page hasn't been held to under 100 yards passing in a game since the second contest of the season, a 12-7 loss to Southwestern.

Ironically, that was the game that launched the Bronchos on their scoring benge. CSU has scored 200 points in the six games since that defeat. And Page has generated 1521 yards of offense in those six games.

Steve McKeaver has picked up the lag in the running attack by rushing for 513 yards in the same six contests. He leads the team in rushing with 516 yards and in scoring with eight touchdowns.

Page has an even 1,700 yards in offense, 1,466 passing.

Steve McKeaver runs to daylight through a hole provided by the double team blocking of Randy Jones (24) and Spencer Schwarz in Saturday's 38-6 trouncing of Cameron. The offensive line was a major reason for the Bronchos 38 points and 459 yards of offense. It also paved the way for McKeaver's 141 yards rushing and three touchdowns.

This Friday the Central State Cross Country team will travel to Oklah. mz Christian College for the District Nine Cross Country Meet.

Th° f inchos are the defending champions and are favored to win thi., year meet after breaking OCC's string of eight consecutive championships last year.

"We've had a good year and are favored to win and if we run a good race we will win it," said Coach Parent.

Since the Bronchos finished tenth in last years national meet there will be two teams going to the nationals this year from the District Nine.

"We are going to the meet to win because we know how it feels to be second," said Parent.

Ronnie Parks was the individual champion last year and has led the Bronchos all year. He has finished no lower than third in any meet this year.

"Central State has yet to finish below third in a meet this year," Parent commented.

The Bronchos have been plauged by injuries but seem to be about as healthy as they have been all year.

"Frazier feels he can run this week and has been given the doctors ok," said Parent.

Jeff Murr has been sick the last couple of weeks.

"Murr has been sick but says he will run regardless of how he feels Friday," said Parent.

Charlie Cedeno,who was declared academically eneligible at the beginning of the season, was one of the top runners for the Bronchos last year.

"Everybody has begun to run better to take up the slack since Cedeno can't run, and the team has gotten closer as a result," said Parent.

The Bronchos are ranked 11th in the nation going into this meet

Broncs up to tenth in race to playoffs Howard said he expected the Lions to play a good ball game and that the routes expected by so many people don't happen very often.

"I certainly don't go into a game expecting to win by a certain amount of points. That doesn't happen that often, especially with in-state schools, because there just aren't any that bad."

Howard also disagreed that there would be a temptation to run the score up, if possible, to impress the voters in the rankings.

"A big score might be a little bit of a factor, but at this stage of the season it doesn't matter if you win by one or 50 points. If you win, you win."

In comparing this team with the 1979 NAIA finals squad, Howard named several differences. First, there is a different offensive lineup, although with his passing and running skills, this year's quarterback Randy Page, could be mistaken for Scott Burger, the field general who quilded the '79 outfit.

Second, the coaching personel has changed with the addition of defensive line coach Terry Jones, who replaced now departed Larry Heard.

And lastly, the Bronchos are throwing more in contrast with the ground oriented attack in '79.

Burger average 115 yards through the air while Page has 1,466 yards passing in eight games.

"The team this year has come close to being the caliber of team that the championship team of '79 was," remarked Howard. "But regaurdless of the outcome, we can be proud of how we've played and developed. We haven't accepted defeat."

The game will kick-off in Langston at 1:30 a.m. and Charles Murdock, CSU athletic director, said students can get into the contest for two dollars by showing their ID cards. Reguelar admission will be five dollars for adults.

Volleyballers prepare for playoff with Bison

By Shawn Cowan CSU's women's volleyball team will participate in the state tournament held at Bethany Nazarene College this Friday. The teams in the tourney will be divided into two pools and the Bronchettes have drawn the unenviable task of facing top ranked Oklahoma Baptist University in the first round.

The teams are ranked by a poll system with CSU currently fourth, behind OBU, BNC and Panhandle State. The eventual outcome will match the first place finisher of one pool against the second place team in the other pool.

The teams in CSU's pool include Oklahoma Christian College and OBU while the other pool will feature BNC, Panhandle and Northwestern.

Coach Jim Roberts doesn't exactly agree with the pool he's been placed in but believes that it is a fair way to do it.

"Our toughest competition will probably be number one ranked OBU and second ranked BNC," said Roberts.

"I'm proud of these hard working girls," said Roberts, referring to team members Denice Dick, Karen Porter, Melinda Newcomb, Kim Edmonds, Lisa Rogers, Joyce Ritz and Lisa Peppers.

"This year the women have earned a 8-7 record compared to last year's 7-9 team."

Friday morning the coaches will meet and select the All-District team and Roberts is optimistic that CSU will have a few named to the team

The winners of the tournament will travel to Kansas City to play in the regionals.

"It's been an enjoyable year and and we've had a good season," summed up Roberts.

"We appreciate the support we've had both on the road and at home."

Monday night the Bronchettes, who are in their first year under Roberts, dropped a match to OBU, three games to none to end their regular season.

By Jack Russell The Bronchos still shelter some hopes of a playoff spot as they head into the final game of the season against Langston.

CSU is now 10th and ahead of Ouachita Baptist in the recently released weekly rankings and Coach Gary Howard thinks the Bronchos have an outside shot for the playoffs.

"However, we're going to need some help from some other people to knock off some of the higher ranked teams," cautioned Howard. "Last week five or six teams that were ranked in front of us lost, so anything can happen."

If the Bronchos make it to the playoffs, they'll do it without Rickey Greene, a senior cornerback who left the team last week for personal reasons, according to Howard.

"He just left the team, it wasn't any big controversial deal," remarked Howard. "He's a married man and I guess he decided to go back to his family."

Greene was replaced in the Cameron contest by Lester Baldwin, a sophomore from Sherman, Tx. "Lester played a hec of a game," exclaimed Howard.

"He's played very well."

Another Broncho that has been playing well all year is split end Daric Zeno, a junior from Dallas South Oak Cliff High School. The All-District performer leads the team with 29 catches for 611 yards and five touchdowns. He is only 101 yards away from breaking the CSU record for most yards receiving in a season, 711, and currently has three consecutive 100 yard games.

But almost all the Bronchos have been turning in outstanding performances this year. At the start of the season, CSU fumbled away two crucial games, dropping in and out of the top 20.

"The team has improved a great deal over the course of the season. We're proud because when we lost we came back to win without letting the loses hurt our morale," said Howard.

Much of the talk this week will center around the clash with the Lions and the possibility of a CSU cakewalk, although Howard chose not to dwell on that possibility.

"First of all I just want to win the game. Langston has a lot of enthusiasm and they played Cameron a closer game than it looked. The score was only 9-0, Cameron, at the half before they scored a lot of points in the fourth quarter."
