Regents name Mounce new vice president

Joyce Mounce

By Shannon Blockcolski and Linda Jones Joyce Mounce was appointed CSU vice president for administration by the Board of Regents of Oklahoma Colleges Nov. 20. "I am pleased to announce the appointment of Ms. Mounce," said Dr. Bill Lillard, CSU president. "She has capably served the university as assistant vice president for personnel and has shared the responsibilities of the vice president's office for the last six months." Mounce will assume the duties of former vice president Larry Williams, who was inagurated Nov. 15 as president of Southeastern Oklahoma State

University in Durant. Mounce said Lillard told her he had recommended her for the position on Nov. 9, a week after the interviews were conducted. "I feel great about it," Mounce said. "It's a wonderful opportunity to be able to perform in that position." Mounce said she had no idea she would be appointed to the position, because when she started at CSU she never thought the job would be vacant. Since 1984, Mounce has supervised personnel administration, telecommunications, records management and other university operation projects. In addition, since Williams' resignation, she has assumed responsibility for

Campus Police, KCSC radio, CSU 2 Cable Television and Photographic Services. As assistant vice president for personnel, her duties have included recruiting, monitoring of selection procedures, affirmative action and payroll. Mounce said her main goal as vice president is to find additional funding for the university. "I have a lot of things I would like to do, and the university needs the funds to do it," Mounce said. Prior to joining the CSU staff, she was with the Los Angeles Community College district, where she developed recruiting and training programs.

From 1975 through 1978, Mounce was employed by the City of Oklahoma City as administrative assistant to Mayor Patience Latting. She also worked as the director of the CETA Job Development Center, director of employment and assistant director of Parks and Public Events. A graduate of the University of Oklahoma, Mounce holds both a bachelor's degree and master's degree in political science. She is a doctoral candidate at OU in political science with an emphasis in public administration. Mounce received her teaching certification from Southwestern Oklahoma State University at Weatherford and has taught at OU and Rose State College.

Senate postpones AIDS week By Elaine Coleman Student Writer

Student Association senators received a formal apology for a previous senate action and voted to postpone the CSU AIDS Awareness Week at their meeting Monday. During an executive session following the Nov. 16 senate meeting, impeachment charges were brought against Sen. Lee Allen. All charges against Allen were dropped the following day. Addressing the issue, Sen. Drew Duke made a public apology to both Allen and the senate. "I feel there is an apology that's in order, for a number of

reasons," said Duke. "I need to apologize to the senate as a whole, to Mr. Speaker for the problems you had to deal with in the days it was before the senate, and especially to Sen. Allen for the way the proceedings were conducted." The senate also voted 14-10 not to override Student Association President Jeff Shilling's veto of the AIDS Awareness Week resolution, authored by Allen. Although there was general support of the need to have a week dedicated to the issue of AIDS, the majority of senators favored postponing the event until a later date. "The arguments made by the

proponents are true â&#x20AC;&#x201D; if we can save one life it's worth it," said Sen. Lisa Coen. "But we are responsible, for not only this organization, but we are the governing body over the other student organizations on this campus. "It's our responsibility â&#x20AC;&#x201D; we can't just dump this on them tomorrow and expect them to be ready with something next week. This needs to be done in a fashion that will really make a difference on this campus," she said. In other business, the senate voted 24-2, with seven abstentions, to accept the senate budget as was resubmitted by Shilling.

Board discusses CSU funds increase By Shannon Blockcolski

Associate Editor A proposed $25,808,536 four-year increase in operation expenses at CSU has been approved by the Oklahoma State Regents of Higher Education. The Board of Regents of Oklahoma Colleges, CSU's governing board, discussed Nov. 20 how the budget will

Dance cancelled due to ticket sales From Staff Reports

The Broncho Ball, scheduled for Dec. 1, has been cancelled by the CSU administration due to lack of ticket sales, according to Lee Allen, chairman of the committee. "The administration cancelled it the day The Vista came out with the picture and information, so how could students have known about it?," Allen said. The Broncho Ball was a joint Thatcher and East Hall project. Tickets to the dance were $10.

affect its six regional universities. "The Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education has a constitutional duty to present an operating budget to the state legislature," said Keith Allen, member of the Board of Regents for Oklahoma Colleges and Universities. "They calculated the total budget needs for 1988-89, but they knew the state didn't have the money, so they divided it into a multiyear funding pack." The budget would bring Oklahoma up to the regional average of $400 million for state-supported institutions, Allen said. According to Allen, the Oklahoma higher education system will need an additional $361 million over the next four years. The increase for the four-year period for the six regional universities overseen by the Board of Regents totall-

ed approximately $84 million. All but $165,977 would come from state appropriated funds, according to the proposed budget. The additional funds would come from tuition and fees. "All we did was take the Higher Regents budget and apply it to the six regional universities," Allen said. "We really have no control over how it effects all of Oklahoma's higher education." The increase at CSU is the highest of the six regional universities. The budget covers the 26 state-owned colleges and universities, as well as a number of special agencies and budget programs, such as the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center, the Oklahoma State University School of Medicine and the Civil Rights Compliance Plan, Allen said.

Debaters rank second in U.S. Dedication has paid off for the CSU debate team, ranked second in the nation, according to Doug Duke, oral communications instructor and debate coach. Rankings for CEDA debate squads are determined by the winloss record of the school team. There are more than 360 schools participating in CEDA debate. Duke said he is proud of the students' accomplishments. "The debate team has earned an impressive record through long hours, hard work and dedication," Duke said. "And in the process, CSU has gained national respect and recognition." At the University of Missouri Tournament, the freshman team of Sean Huffman and John Parsley took third place in the Junior CEDA division, losing in

the semifinals. At the Southwest Missouri State University debate tournament, the novice team of Paris Gamble and Kyle La Reese received first place. They lost only one ballot at the tournament. At the University of Kansas debate tournament, veteran team members Sandy Carrol and Jessica Grassman were 7-1, winning third place. Carrol received the second place speaker award, and Grassman won the third place speaker award. The team of sophomores Charles Mallard and Chris Ruhl took fourth place at the tournament. In addition, Mallard won the fifth place speaker award and Ruhl was awarded tenth place in the speaker award category.

Opinion Page

• upinions stem from narrow interests By Mark White "Injustice is rampant in the world." "It won't go away." "Get used to the idea." Those are a few of the thoughts prevalent in the modern world. They are not new, yet it is surprising how few people realize this. I hear people speak every day of what is "fair" and "right," but arguments are flat and weak with no real substance. People speak from the narrow confines of ignorance, they have no broader concept of what they are arguing about than the intention of satisfying their own petty concerns. Pettiness bothers me.

Guest Commentary That is why the recent flak over athletic scholarships has disturbed me. I feel too many people have missed the point they are trying to get across. Why is this? Is it a lack of knowledge about how to construct an effective argument, or do the people concerned simply not know their subject? What does this have to do with injustice? It is simply that a great injustice has been done to the whole topic. It surprises me to see letters to the editor in the Vista discussing the subject of athletic scholarships and student activity fees using arguments pointing to how far a student runs—as if the mere fact that he runs farther than the average person has need to qualify him for a scholarship. Excuse me, but that is an illogical statement if I ever saw one.

Scholarships should not be the end product of a good athletic record. How did this silly practice get started anyway? Just look at what the word means: a scholarship is a monetary endowment to aid in furthering the studies of a student. Well, this could conceivably mean a student seriously studying golf, football, running or jumping could justify the aid, but is the world ready for a doctorate-holder in any of these fields?

Save the scholarships for the scholars. Until changes can be made, get used to the idea because the process will not be voided any time soon. The world works the way it does because people are selfish, manipulative, powerhungry and all the other bad things we frequently hear about the human race. It's a depressing thought, but it is true. Anyone who does not recognize

this does not live in the real world. The tendency is to gloss-over the reality of the situation, but we can't do this and profess at the same time to be for higher education. Ultimately, the matter comes down to what people are willing to accept. Unfortunately, people have been willing to settle for a lot less than they deserve. As a result, they are getting what they deserve and it is affecting us all.

Campus attitude requires change To the Editor: As students today, and professionals in the work place tomorrow, we have much to look forward to. We work hard and can operate within a system of grants and loans. We know how to use the system and our resources, no matter how large or small. We know right from wrong. But there is an injustice on this campus that should make us hang our heads in shame. The food boxes around the campus are not full, and neither are the people's bellies that the food is supposed to fill. It's easy to look the other way, but hard to face reality. We are the leaders of tomorrow, yet we have learned, as the majority of the leaders today, that money can be "better portioned." Athletics, Contra Rebels, new school buildings, better roads, or any other thing, than helping people first hand, should be secondary. We should be ashamed! While peo-

ple starve in the streets of Oklahoma City and can't find a warm shelter because of lack of shelter and city funds, we turn our heads. We justify our not giving by our own circumstance. Food, help at city shelters, and pressure on city hall to help more in accomodating these people must be first priority. A drive on Reno Avenue or through the high impact areas of the metro area would be in order to change our thinking. It would be nice to see the students and faculty get off their self-centered butts and be the leaders of society that they are being educated to be or "are." We can't bring a good change for tomorrow if we act like our role models. Change of any kind starts somewhere. This change should start in the institutions we set up to better ourselves and society as a whole. Todd Terrill

U.S. denies Iran attack claims

United States Navy officials have denied claims by Iran's navy commander Sunday that Iranian forces fired on four U.S. helicopters. The commander said the helicopters were trying to stop a gunboat from intercepting a Greek fighter in the Persian Gulf. Yet Iranian shipping executives said an Iranian gunboat fired at and searched the Jimalta, a Greek ship Iran suspected of carrying cargo to Iraq. Iran's offical news agency said the U.S. helicopters dispersed after the shooting, but did not say if any were hit. No damage or casualities to the Jimalta have been reported.

Cuban prisoners take hostages

Rioting Cuban prisoners held more than 20 hostages in a federal detention center Sunday in Oakdale, La. The prisoners rioted after they discovered they might be sent back to Cuba. A spokeswoman for the detention center said the prisoners are asking to stay in the United States and not to be prosecuted for taking the hostages. The Cubans initially seized 28 guards and staff members after the Saturday night riot which injured 23 people. Yet they released some hostages who complained of medical problems, said J.R. Johnson, warden of the minimum-security holding center. The U.S. and Cuba announced Friday that Cuba would receive 2,500 of the 125,000 refugess who came to the United States in 1980.

President enacts Gramm-Rudman President Reagan put the Gramm-Rudman law into effect Friday, but said if a White House negotiated deficit-reduction plan becomes law, the Gramm-Rudman cuts would be negated. House Speaker Jim Wright said Sunday a $76 billion deficit plan would be approved by Congress if Reagan persuaded Republicans to back it. Reagan said Friday the White House and Conressional negotiators had created a $30 billion deficit pact, which included raising taxes, increasing government service fees and selling some public assets. Sen Phil Gramm, R-Texas, said he believes the $76 billion pact would win Senate approval.

Beggar stabs 5 during Mass Approximately five worshipers were stabbed by a homeless man begging for money during Mass at St. Patrick's Catholic Church in Fort Worth Sunday. Police Capt. Jerry Blaisdell said the worshipers were trying to stop the man from approaching a priest. The 28-year-old transient was stabbed three times with his own knife and is facing attempted murder charges, Blaisdell said. Blaisdell said it was uncertain how the man received the wounds. Police Sgt. Ken Francis said the man went "berserk" inside the church. Five worshipers were taken to hospitals while others received minor injuries. Blaisdell said the suspect had been seen panhandling around the church for more than a week.

Edmond to face revenue shortage

The Edmond city budget is $300,000 short of projected revenue for the 1987-88 fiscal year, which runs July through June. "We are not out of money, but we may need to continue to keep our expenditures down," said City Manager Max Speegle. The city budget estimated revenues of approximately $11 million. To date, the fund had generated slightly more than $4 million, Speegle said. A decline in sales tax and utility revenues are among the reasons Seegle gave for the budget shortfall.

Edmond boy on transplant list Ryan McCoy, 13, Edmond, was given four to six months to live by his doctors. McCoy fought the odds, since he was diagnosed as having an extremely rare blood disease at 19 months of age. He was given a 15 percent chance of living past the age of two. McCoy is now on the active list of transplant recipients, due to assurance given to Le Bonheur Children's Hospital in Memphis concerning several fund-raising projects being conducted by Sequoyah Middle School, Foodworld, Buy For Less and First Presbyterian Church. The hospital needs approximately $75,000 in order to perform the transplant. The cost of the transplant itself could run as high as $1 million, depending on the circumstances.

Readers' forum Student protests 'their side'

Nudity law restricts freedom To the editor: Thanks to the efforts of Oklahomans Against Pornography, a new city ordinance was passed requiring female dancers to wear G-strings and pasties if they work in Oklahoma City bars serving beer or alcohol. This law might appear to be harmless and insignificant, but it is much more than it seems to be: it is another battle won by "their side." What side am I taking about? For people living in a nation founded in an attempt to escape the intolerance of a religious government, it should be obvious. Their side demands that individuals be strictly controlled by government which, in turn, is controlled by special interest groups, such as religious zealots. The opposite point of view is one which seeks individual freedom, separa-

tion of church and state and resists censorship. As John Locke proclaimed, the role of government is to protect the rights of individuals and construct laws which are beneficial to society. Since there is no unequivocal evidence demonstrating nudity is harmful to individuals or society, what is our government doing passing laws on such a matter. It has been claimed that pornography exploits women. But might a woman who poses nude for profit actually be exploiting a weakness of men? The nude dancing ordinance is religious censorship, pure and simple. This is the kind of law one would find in a puritanical society. How can Oklahoma ever progress if we keep allowing religious fanatics to steer us back to the Dark Ages, a time when nothing

which opposed religion was tolerated? I would like to see the ordinance overturned. It's not that I am unusually preoccupied with sex. It is the principle. If these sexually repressed people don't want to see nudity, then the best solution would be for them to stay out of strip bars! Moreover, the ordinance is sexually discriminating: women are forced to wear pasties but male strippers are not. What is the reason for this discrimination? Why are female breasts bad but male breasts are not? If we on the "other side" just ignore such setbacks, then the censors are more likely to win on an issue which is significant. The next law, for example, might prohibit posing nude for an art class. After all, who's to say that stripping isn't art? Dustin Penn

Funeral service article misleads To the editor: In the Nov. 19 issue of The Vista, an article appeared that contained some statements which may victimize the reader into believing misconceptions. In the first place, embalmers do not plasticize (to make plastic) the dead human body. Embalming is a process where putrefaction is arrested and the spread of disease is checked. This is done while maintaining the natural appearance of the body. Funeral directors are faced with death on a daily basis. Each director has developed a method of dealing with death that allows him to continue with his own life. Although the subject of the previous article claimed to have "a numbness to death," he is the

only person I have heard make that statement. There is no way to distance yourself from the families that you serve. You are in a position to learn a lot about a family in a short time. For this reason, you are involved with the family to a great extent. The family is not going to forget the director, and the director will remember many details about the family. As for helping with the makeup for a haunted house, that is a lot of fun, but clown makeup is in no way comparable to the cosmetology used in the funeral industry. The journalist that accepted the previously mentioned article was misinformed. An interview from a first year freshman who does not

Christmas tree criticized To the editor: Historically, the season called Christmas begins on Dec. 25 and continues for 12 days, with Jan. 6, Epiphany, bringing in the next liturgical season. Granted, we have already seen advertisements for mail-order Christmas records which do, after all, take four to six weeks for shipping before Christmas. Yet is it really necessary for Christmas trees to appear in our campus buildings before Thanksgiving? I refer, of course, to the fully-decorated (with packages, even) tree in the south entrance of the Music Building. I strongly suggest that anyone who dislikes the commercialization of Christmas take the few moments necessary to telephone the office of the music department at campus extension 5004 and let them know of your disapproval. Other departments who get ahead of themselves should be dealt with in the same way.

From Staff Reports A collection of poetry entitled "Moonrising," authored by Catron Grieves, CSU graduate student in English, has been published by Red Dirt Press. "The poems formed the first three sections of my masters' thesis," Grieves said. "Although I originally came to Central State University to work on a novel, I got interested in poetry while taking a class taught by Dr. Norman Russell. Grieves said that the feeling in that class, and another taught by Bill Gammill, artist-in-residence, was a creative and postive spirit toward poetry as an art form.

residence for work in Oklahoma schools and communities. She will be accompanied by Gari Kyle, pianist. Kyle, also a graduate of Oklahoma City University, is a teacher and performer in the Oklahoma City area. The concert will feature songs and arias by Mozart, Strauss, Enrique Grandos, Umberto Giordana and selections from musical comedies by Richard Rogers, Harold Rome, Steven Sondheim and Victor Herbert. Admission is free.

"The book is an attempt to explore the connections between one woman and her family, her friends, her environment and her history," Grieves- said. "The images that are contained in this book are those of a woman who came of age in a rural Oklahoma Indian community, a culture that still contains memories of its beginnings as a matriarchy." Grieves said she has been very pleased with the success of "Moonrising," and has even received fan mail from as far away as Rhode Island. "Moonrising" is available at local bookstores and from the publisher.

Effects of balanced budget law explained By Monica Kremeier Student Writer On Sept. 29, Oklahoma Congressman Mickey Edwards participated in a bill signing ceremony to revive the GrammRudman-Hollings bill — the nation's balanced budget law. Friday (Nov. 20) was the deadline for the government deficit cuts. "Since Gramm-Rudman was first passed in 1985, there has been a significant reduction in the federal deficit, and the signing of the revised legislation into law seems to be the only way to keep the process in place," said Edwards, chairman of the House Republican Committee on Research and Planning. The Gramm-Rudman Law was enacted in the last Congress and placed spending restraints on Congress and the President by steadily decreasing the maximum allowable federal deficits for the next five years, Edwards said. The law called for automatic, uniform spending cuts in most

government programs if the deficit exceeded the specific targets. The Supreme Court, however, ruled the automatic spending-cut mechanism was unconstitutional. The revised Gramm-Rudman Law also provides for automatic across-the-board spending cuts if Congress and the President fail to reduce the deficit, but gives the Office of Management and Budget final review of the cuts. The revised law establishes new annual deficit targets and sets 1993 as the deadline for a balanced budget. The target for fiscal year 1988 is $23 billion in deficit reduction. "If the $23 billion reduction that is mandated would be from the actual 1987 deficit, that would be great, but the $23 billion dollar reduction will probably be from a projected deficit," said Sharon Carney, CSU political science instructor. "If we create an artificial projected deficit, and then we reduce it $23 billion, there may

not be a realistic reduction in the national deficit. "However, I am not suggesting that Gramm-Rudman-Hollings has no value; it is a starting point. There can be great worth in Gramm-Rudman-Hollings, but it will ultimately depend on how it is ultimately used this first year." Aside from Social Security and welfare programs — exemptions to the law — spending cuts will be made across the board, especially in defense spending and domestic spending. The domestic spending cuts will hurt municipalities, Carney said. "The Congressional Budget Office has set an across the board 10.7 percent cut in those areas not immune," said Carney. "However, the way it seems to be working is that the Pentagon cuts will be a bit higher than the domestic cuts. "We do not really know why the Pentagon cuts are projected to be 10.4 percent and the true domestic cuts 8.7 percent. Ap-

parently, there is quite a bit of agreement on monies to cities being reduced to the percentage of 8.7 percent. The Congressional Budget Office has said that, and they are non-partisan," Carney added. Carney said the Congressional Budget Office also agrees with a statement made by the president of the National League of Cities indicating an 8.7 percent cut. In terms of specific impact, Carney said there will some municipalities that will be drastically hurt, and others that won't because they have less reliance on national dollars. "Any time a city today faces a revenue cut, it is really serious. Cities are having a very difficult time making their budget in the state of Oklahoma," Carney said. "Cities in Oklahoma get their money primarily through the sales tax. When individuals have less money to spend, that has a direct impact on the sales tax, and hence, a direct impact on cities." Any cut in federal funding, whether it is on a state or local level, has an impact, said Carl Reherman, assistant professor of political science and mayor of Edmond. He said to suddently terminate funds at an amount that the law calls for may cut right into the middle of a program with a three to five year existance. "For example, if funds are cut off in the middle of a project on highway construction, you can see half a highway built and they will say they do not have the money to finish it out," Reherman said. "I know that this is the furthest out, but the reality of it is that this is a quick cut, and any type of quick termination of funds will create problems." Reherman said Edmond, every governmental insitution and every citizen will be affected in both positive and negative ways. "There are some positive things

that come from this, it will at least try to get the budget balanced. As far as direct appropriations corning into the city of Edmond, there are some programs that we have that could conceivably be cut," he said. "But, I think we will be able to handle those cuts because we have not programmed any long range federal funds to count to personal expenditures. "As far as the day to day operations for the city of Edmond and most communities in Oklahoma," Reherman said, "I think there will be very little effect in the cut of services, such as law enforcement and the fire department." Dr. Tom Guild, assistant professor of political science, said Congress and the President were unable to get control of the budget, so something needed to be done. "There was a lot of pressure on the Congress to do something because I think they were only two states short of the number needed to call for a Constitutional Convention on the issue," Guild said. "It was obvious the deficit was going in the wrong direction, at one time it was over $220 billion dollars. It is nice that Congress decided to do something about it by passing the Gramm-RudmanHollings bill." Guild said in its first year of operation, the law worked very well along with other factors. The deficit dropped a considerable amount in one fiscal year, he said, partially due to increasing government revenues. "One thing that people may not realize, is that it is not an actual cut in dollar amount, it is usually a cut in the increase in the program for the next year," Guild said. "So, generally speaking, the government continues to spend more and more money. But, under the constraints of the Gramm-Rudman, they are not spending a lot more than they are taking in."

Broncho basketball off to a winning start By Mary Butler

Opening their own Tip-Off Classic with a flash, the CSU men's basketball team pulled off a 95-94 come from behind win Friday night against Pittsburg State. Antonio Gibson, a 6 foot 7 inch player from Midwest City, paced the Broncho success. The sophomore center put the Bronchos ahead 94-92 after slamming, the ball with 42 seconds left to play. PSU standout Jeff Greene rolled in a layup to knot the score at 94 all, but Gibson managed to sink a free throw with two seconds left on the clock to give the Bronchos their first win of the season. The Bronchos crept back from a 47-51 halftime deficit to post the win. CSU outscored the Gorillas 48-43 in the second half enroute to

a 50 percent effort from the field and 96 percent showing at the foul line. Pittsburg State managed to connect on 39 field goals, compared to CSU's 38, and also sunk 11 three-pointers. The Bronchos made up the difference at the charity stripe. CSU hit 14 of 19 freebies, while the Kansas crew settled for 5 of 7. Gibson led the Broncho scoring brigade with 24 points. The hustling center also managed to grab seven rebounds and dish out three assists. Eric Roump, a senior from Sterling, Colo., added 17 points to the CSU effort. The 6 foot 2 inch guard was a perfect 3-for-3 from the foul line. Scott Moody and Reggie Evans

Gridders fall short in final fall contest

The CSU football team, hoping to salvage one last win this season, wound up on the short side of the scoreboard again Saturday afternoon when East Texas State handed the young Bronchos a 43-22 loss. The Bronchos jumped out to an early 14-0 lead on a Glynn Walker 13-yard keeper and 26-yard touchdown pass. Walker started things off ten minutes into the first quarter with a touchdown strike to Charles Thompson. Kelly Nasworthy hit the extra point and the Bronchos led 7-0. Midway through the second quarter, Walker put the Bronchos on the board again, this time with a 13-yard bootleg. Waymon Potts connected on the extra point to put the Bronchos ahead 14-0. But East Texas State struck back. The Lions rattled off four unanswered touchdowns to turn the game around and take a 29-14 lead. East Texas quarterback Royce Slechta hit teammate Winfred Essix with a pair of touchdown tosses to give the Lions two scores the hard way. The Lion's David Cox ran back an interception 85 yards, and John Varnell recovered a Broncho fumble in the endzone to give East Texas 14 more, a little easier. The Bronchos answered one of the Lion's scores four minutes later. Walker scored on another keeper, and Pinkey Hurley found the endzone on a two point conversion try, to put the Bronchos back in the game, 22-29. But East Texas just wouldn't quit. The Lions added another pair of touchdowns in the final quarter. Cox scored his second touchdown of the game on a 4-yard run. Slechta then found Richie Richards in the endzone and delivered a 14-yard pass to put the game out of reach for the Bronchos. Walker finished the game with 89 yards on the ground and 36 in the air. The Clinton senior finished the season with 371 yards rushing, second best on the team,

and 381 yards passing. The 6-foot-1 signal caller threw for three touchdowns and scored five more rushing. Hurley topped all CSU rushers this season. The Fox freshman gained 509 yards on 125 carries and scored three touchdowns. Sophomore Tim Tillis followed Walker and Hurley in the rushing department. The Chandler native collected 243 yards and ran for three touchdowns. Ray Collins anchored the receiving crew for CSU. The junior tight end hauled in 11 catches for 201 yards to lead the pack. Sure-handed Jerry Johnson followed with 164 yards on seven receptions. Collins caught a touchdown pass, Johnson handled two. Michael Bennett led in the defense statistics column. The Cresent freshman totalled 109 tackles, 68 unassisted. Senior Neil Galbraith and junior Dean Shinault added 145 tackles to the Broncho effort. Galbraith, a Guthrie safety, collected 73 tackles, while Shinault, a Ponca City product, tallied 72. Galbraith also had a pair of pass interceptions.

Ex-Broncho runner makes mark at New York race Nelson Begay, a former Broncho runner who managed to earn eight All-American honors in indoor and outdoor track, as well as cross-country, ran one of the most exciting races of his career earlier this month in New York City. The soft-spoken Arizona native was one of 20,000 runners who tackled the 26 miles and 385 yards in New York City at the country's largest roadrace. Begay not only competed and finished the New York City Marathon, but he also managed to turn in the 27th best American time in the race. He finished the event in 2 hours and 32 minutes. Before crossing the finish line, however, Begay had to overcome

two formidable obstacles. First, he was unsure if he would even be allowed to run the race. Begay was not told until three weeks before the contest that his application was approved. "I only had three weeks to get ready so I wasn't really prepared," said Begay. "Next year I'll be ready. I'll do better," he added. And when he finally arrived in New York, he made the mistake of getting to the starting line only two hours before race time. Others had begun lining up two hours earlier. Begay had to settle for a position near the end of the pack. "I was really disappointed

because I was in the back with a lot of slower runners," said Begay. "I was so far back that it took me four minutes just to cross the starting line," he added. "I worked my way to the front, but I lost a lot of energy. By then, I just wanted to finish the race," said Begay. The former Broncho standout finished the race and just missed qualifying for the Olympic trials. "You need a time of 2 hours and 20 minutes to make it to the Olympic trials. That was a goal of mine. I'd like to try to do it again this year," said Begay. Begay has set his sights on the Drake Relays in Iowa this spring. "Lots of other guys talk and

dream about the Olympics, but I'll let my feet do the talking. It's just something I'd really like to do," said Begay. Begay's trip to the New York City race was sponsored by a small sporting goods store in Arizona.

"The owner of the store told me to run in Boston or New York. I guess he wanted me to prove that I could run against top quality runners," said Begay. The race provided Begay's first tour through New York City. "My legs started hurting and I got some blisters, but I just took in the sights. I saw the World Trade Buildings and the Statue of

Liberty. It was a great experience," he said. Although he used his final year of eligibility to compete at CSU last spring, Begay will finish his degree in May. Besides utilizing his degree in Industrial Safety when he graduates, he plans to become a career marathon runner. "I want to go back to New York City and I'd like to run in the Boston Marathon. I really like running in the colder weather. I run better," said Begay. Hopefully, with a little practice, Begay will be able to show his stuff in warmer climates. Perhaps in Seoul, sometime this summer.

Two grapplers place at Nebraska tourney Invading one of the most cornpetitve tournaments on their schedule, the CSU wrestling team managed to place a pair of grapplers Saturday at the NebraskaOmaha Open. Shawn Fleming and Todd Steidley both earned top-five finishes in the tourney. Fleming, a Sapulpa native who handles the Bronchos 118-pound chores, turned in a fifth place finish at the event. Fleming won five matches and lost two on the day. Last week, the Broncho sophomore earned a gold medal at the Central Missouri Open.

the tournament which featured a host of top NCAA wrestlers. Last year CSU failed to place a single wrestler in the tourney. CSU will host their first match of the season tonight against Southern Illinois in the Broncho Field House at 7:30 p.m.

Steidley, a 142-pound returning NAIA National Champion, wrestled to a fourth place finish. The Tulsa Union graduate managed a 4-2 record at the tourney. Jeff Gowens, a 126-pound freshman from Del City, earned three wins at the Open. The Bronchos took 21 men to
