Grad acquires Rader, DHS records By Mark K. Beutler Associate Editor The personal files of former director of the Department of Human Services (DHS), Lloyd Rader, are being catalogued by the CSU library due to the work of graduate student Linda Chism. In addition to the personal files of Rader, the DHS has given over 500 boxes of documents and materials of the department to the CSU library. According to Clemma McCawley, assistant director of public services at Max Chambers library, the papers are being put onto a computer disk drive and will eventually be available to the public. "These are the papers of the DHS, during the time Lloyd Rader was the director of the department, and they are eventually going to be housed in the Oklahoma Room," McCawley said. Chism, who is a graduate student at CSU, says she perceived the idea for researching the papers while enrolled in a seminar several years ago. "I was taking a graduate class in Southwestern History under Dr. Green. It was a seminar, and we had to come up with an idea for an original research paper. Some friends of mine who worked for the DHS said 'You really ought to write a paper on Lloyd Rader because he's such an influential man in Oklahoma.' So I set up an interview with him. "We talked about his personal papers, and Mr. Rader had destroyed a lot of them, but he said he would give them to the Oklahoma Room. Then after he gave us his collection, the DHS gave us their papers," Chism said. The routine procedure for papers of this nature is to go to the state archives. According to Chism, however, a legislative act was passed whereby CSU would receive the documents. "Because Mr. Rader had donated his personal papers (to CSU), the DHS felt like they should donate these files, and there was an act of the legislature that was required for these to come to CSU," Chism said. This summer will mark the second year Chism has worked on the Rader project. "I started working on it in the summer of '83," Chism said.
"We have not had the papers that long. We got the Rader papers almost six months before we got the DHS papers, and I had started going through files with Mr. Rader," Chism added. Moving the documents from the DHS to the basement of the CSU library was quite a chore, according to Chism, but she says a McGuiness high school student helped her with the physical work. The inventory and cataloguing, however, was performed by Chism. "Every box has been inventoried, in a sense. The folders have all been looked at, but everything has not been categorized. It has just been put in order so that I can get the first part of my program done," Chism said. According to McCawley, both the personal files of Rader and the DHS documents would not have been available had Chism not taken on the task. "Without Linda, none of this could possibly have been done. We don't have the staff to do a project like this, and one person could not do it without knowing the materials," McCawley said. Nearly every department on campus should benefit from the vast number of subject materials available from the DHS files, and Rader's personal files are a boon to people who are interested in Oklahoma's history. "Right now the DHS files are our main priorities," Chism said. "There are more of these and it will help the students most. Just about every department should be able to get something from these papers. There are reports, publications, all sorts of things, that can be used. "Historians will get more out of Rader's stuff. That is for people who are interested in things that went on in the '20's and '30's," Chism added. Although her deadline for having the project cornplete is June 1, Chism says the papers will not be available for use until some later date. McCawley adds that the library staff will be able to handle a few students with special projects, but not necessarily an entire class. When available, the Rader and DHS papers will be in archival form for the public's use.

City candidates address campus issues By Curtis Killman Associate Editor One administrator and one faculty member, both from Central State University and vying for city offices, expressed their views at a public forum held Thursday at the Edmond High School cafeteria. Incumbent Mayor Carl Reherman, who is also assistant to President Bill Lillard and Dr. Bill Parker, director of the criminal justice program and associate professor of sociology, squared off against their opponents and answered the audience's questions concerning issues such as: Lake Arcadia, the annexation of Arcadia, zoning and the use of
television cameras at City Council meetings. Reherman, faces opposition from Yvonne Nichols and John Inge for the mayoral position, while Parker is running against Tom Kennedy for the vacated 3rd Ward post. The candidates were asked how they would favor commercial development on the watershed side of Lake Arcadia. Reherman, answering first, said the quality of the water was the most important aspect of the city in terms of zoning. "We have established a lake development district around it

(the lake)," Reherman said. "Now there have been some requests to modify this. We look at each request individually and we have an utmost interest in the protection of the quality of the water." Nichols expressed a concern of a potential high lead concentration in the lake water and hoped that highway 66, which is the northern boundary of Lake Arcadia, would not be turned into a "Coney Island" effect that the Broadway Extension has. "If you go down the Broadway Extension from 33rd to 2nd street you're not going to starve to death or run out of gas," Nichols said. Parker agreed that the quality of the water was the most important aspect in the development of the lake, while Kennedy said that there is already a plan in effect that prohibits high density development and that he favors the present plan. The question of annexing Arcadia found most of the candidates saying that the matter was handled wrong and that the issue should have been put to a vote of the people . Reherman said he was out of town when the city council voted to annex Arcadia and did not get
chance to participate in the council vote. He did not say how he would have voted if he were here. Reherman said he offered to meet with the leaders of Arcadia without the presence of lawyers to talk as "future people living together" but they would not meet with him. The residents of Edmond will get a chance to vote on the annexation of Arcadia April 2. Questions concerning zoning matters and the development of a stronger commercial tax base drew varied responses from the candidates. Inge said in order to attack development he would favor a 5-year advalorem tax exemption for new industries and also a oneyear city sales tax exemption for new businesses. Inge also said he would like to change Central State University to The Oklahoma Institute of Technology, so that "we can have our own silicon valley." Reherman said the quality of the development is an important aspect on the City Council. "We require quality development," said Reherman, "it may take a little longer, but we want the best because this is the number one city in Oklahoma."
Nichols thought the city should deviate from the push towards high-tech industry. The failure to bring high-tech industry to Edmond was understandable, Nichols said, since CSU did not specialize in those kinds of fields. "We have and excellent business school out here, we have an excellent advertising school," Nichols said. "Any industry that comes is going to look at resources and personnel. I believe that we ought to take advantage of our strong points out at CSU." Parker, a former member of the Planning Commision who stepped down to avoid a conflict of interest during his campaign, said "there are no simple answers to planning, because things will change and any politician that tells you there is is lying. "I get sick and tired of glib political answers to very complex problems that face this city." The issue of allowing television cameras in the City Council apparently was not an issue, because all the candidates were in favor of permitting their use. Reherman said that cameras could be seen in the Council Chambers as soon as the next meeting.

Opinion Page The desegration game: Are individual children losing their identity? By Diana Zahradnik Gandhi said,"It is beneath human dignity to lose one's individuality and become a mere cog in the machine." Has the desegregation of schools produced the dignity of each individual? Has this machine called busing really produced the well educated, unprejudiced student it was hoping for? It is time to call for a report of what busing has done and is doing for the black as well as the white student? Editorial Some 12 years later, desegregation is not working. One article stated that SAT scores were even lower than they were before desegregation began. For the supreme court to assume that attitudes and prejudices would be eliminated if everyone was thrown together into one big melting pot is a ignorant mistake. The tax dollars imposed upon white and black for busing could have been better spent on keeping the good teacher in the teaching profession. Better books, equipment,
and teachers salaries would have been better justified. To get rid of racial prejudice it must start with each individual desiring to see his fellow man as an individual with different needs and background. No one should be denied the right to go to the school of his choice or live in the neighborhood he desires. It is time the courts stopped shuffling people around to get rid of an attitude problem. Racial prejudice is a problem but not at the expense of the tax payer. Isn't it time the tax payer is asked whether to continue busing or not? After all it is their money. Court ordered busing assumes the average American cannot make his own decisions concerning how his children should be educated and how their prejudice attitude should be eliminated. Most people who could afford to make a decision about where their children should be educated, have sent them to private schools.
Wars are started with miscalculation To the editor: The Korean War was started by a miscalculation on both sides. The falkland Island war was started by a miscalculation by Argentina. The Iran-Iraq was was started by a miscalculation by Iraq.

These three aggressor nations found out too late that once they started a war, they couldn't retract their actions. Much blood was shed, and the strength of these nations was exhausted. Editorial These nations went to war on a snap judgment. Had they given more thought to the consequences, they more than likely would not have started the action. The United States sceretary of state said the United States had no interest in the defense of South Korea.
The North Korean leaders felt they would be hailed as heroes by South Korea, if they liberated them from the capitalists. This was a tragic mistake because the people they tried to liberate fought fiercely against them, as did the Americans and the other SEATO nations. Argentina felt that the Falkland Islands belonged to them, but Great Britain claimed the islands as theirs. Argentina felt that the British would surely not come all that way to fight a war over such a sail group of islands. Great Britain had other ideas, and
came in full force to claim their possession of the islands. Argentina was soundly defeated and will be paying for their mistake for a long time. The Iran-Iraq war is being fought over the Karg Island Waterway. Iraq felt that Iran, after the fall of the Shah, would be weak, and an easy prey so they made the mistake of starting a pitched battle over the waterway. Iran was not weak at all, they were extremely strong. The war is still going on after some two and a half years. It doesn't take any brains to start a war, those who do may wish they had had better foresight than hind sight.
'Get rid of apathy...'
Student defends dorm policies To the editor: This letter is in response to the East Hall resident who claimed, in the February 12 issue of The Vista to be "ripped off." I suggest he actively participate in uplifting his situation. There is a food committee and an East Hall council. Membership in the latter is almost nil. Interest is also nil. If one does not wish to involve oneself in improving one's situation,
one should not expect any improvement. Pertaining to the $10 charge on lost keys—the charge is for security reasons. Besides, a college student ought to be responsible enough to take care of his own keys. Get rid of apathy. Join the East Hall Council and make it a better place to live. Desmond Fernandes

World, state and local
NEWS
Flood damage high at Skiatook The weekend water assault on northeast Oklahoma caused an estimated $1 million worth of damage in Skiatook and prompted Lt. Gov. Spencer Bernard to declare a state of emergency at Miami. Skiatook police estimated that at least 200 families left their homes during the weekend. State highways 20 and 11 leading to the city remained closed Sunday evening. National Guardsmen were called to Miami, where as many as 100 families were evacuated from their homes by Sunday night, a spokesman for the mayor's office said. Rains pushed the Neosho River 18 inches higher, prompting the evacuation Saturday night of Heritage House, a local nursing home with 73 residents.
Chernenko casts vote on TV Soviet President Konstantin U. Chernenko, looking frail, broke a two-month absence Sunday with a television appearance in which he was shown casting his vote for deputies to the Parliament of the Russian Republic. The 73-year-old Soviet leader, who missed a key election speech only two days earlier because of illness, murmured only a few words during the less than two minutes of film shown on a 2 p.m. news brief. The same footage was shown again at the start of the national evening news program Vremya (Time). Chernenko's surprise appearance was strictly managed and limited to a handful of Soviet photographers. It contrasted sharply with the election day coverage of Mikhail Gorbachev, who, in the eyes of many Western obsevers, has emerged as the ruling Politburo's number two man, and other Kremlin officials. Chernenko and the other 10 Politburo members were all nominees for parliamentary seats, among the deputies being elected to parliaments in the 15 republics of the Soviet Union.
Texas colleges cite hiring woes In the courtship of top scholars and administrators, the leading Texas research universities have begun to feel like jilted lovers. Increasingly, scholars from across the country are reluctant to pack their bags and move to Texas, college administrators report, because of concerns over proposals in the Texas Legislature to cut higher education budgets 6 percent to 26 percent. Included among the leery are candidates for the presidency of the University of Texas at Austin, a Nobel laureate being wooed by Texas A&M University and other junior faculty members being recruited by the two universities, their administrators said. "We had great momentum this fall," said Robert E. Boyer, dean of UT's College of Natural Sciences. "But we've been obliged to reduce the intensity of our recruitment because of the budget situation." Gov. Mark White has admonished administrators who have discussed their recruiting problems. In his budget presented to the Legislature in January, White called for cuts of 21 percent, but he now says no such drastic reductions will be included in the lawmakers' final spending plan.
Industry tax break proposed A measure calling for a statewide vote on granting new industry a five-year property tax break is expected to be considered today by the state Senate. The joint resolution is a key ingedient in Gov. George Nigh's program to spur economic development. The plan by Sen. Mike Combs, D-Bethany, represents a compromise between the governor's office and lawmakers who had rival proposals to grant tax exemptions to new industry. Rep. Bill Brewster, D-Marietta, is the House author. Nigh initially proposed a 10-year exemption from paying property taxes for new industry, but scaled that down to five years. His plan calls for creating a fund to reimburse local school districts and counties for property tax revenue that would be lost.
Computer grad turns to Bible When Joanne Garrett graduated from Central State University in 1982, she was class marshal, carried a 4.0 gradepoint through her double major of cornputer science and psychology, and had a job waiting for her with Phillips Petroleum. Three years later, her life has taken a direction that offers only hard work, long hours and few creature comforts. She has joined the Wycliffe Bible Translators. The turning point in Garrett's life came when she visited her mother's homeland, Japan. "It was my first cross-cultural experience," said Garrett. "That was when I really became interested in another culture and another language."
"There was a big change in my life then," she explained. "I felt God was really working in my
life."

Garrett left her computer job at Phillips and applied to Wycliffe. Since being accepted, she has been in a series of rigorous training schools to acquaint her with the principles of Wycliffe and with the process of translating the Bible. She has already spent many months in learning gramatical analysis, phonological analysis, the study of sound system and phonetics. One semester was spent studying linguistics, translating, literacy and anthropology. "Wycliffe Bible Translators believes that to accomplish Christ's commission to take the Gospel to all nations, that it must be given to every man in his own language," said Garrett. "Every group needs at least some of the written Scriptures in its own mother tongue. No group is too small and no language is too hard." "They should be able to read the Bible without a foreign missionary to tell them what it says." Wycliffe translators are not paid. They must each seek their own support. "It is a faith work," said Garrett. "We have no regular income." For the next three months, Garrett will be working to gain support from friends, family, interested individuals and churches. Her local church at the present is St. Luke's Episcopal in Bartlesville. "We are expected to raise 75 percent of our support outside outselves," said Garrett. "I will be working to enlist supporters for the work I will be doing in the Philippines." Soliciting supporters for a lifetime of work may seem like an insurmountable task—but Garrett is very hopeful. "I have seen workers without a penny and the money begins to come in. I've seen it happen," she added. "The body sends us out with prayers and contacts. It is up to each one of us to arrange our own support." According to Joanne, most Wycliffe workers make a 15-20 year commitment to work. The work she will be assigned to in the Philippines has been going on for several years. Garrett will be using her considerable talents with a computer to fine tune the translation already in progress. It is a talent she has already used in training other Wycliffe workers in the Dallas training school. While living in Bartlesville, Garrett has been the guest of Paul and Lois Hudson. "They said I'm their 'daughter' and can feel free to come and go," said Garrett. "They are really wonderful people." This fall, Garrett will leave Bartlesville for a field training camp where she will undergo wilderness survival training. "All Wycliffe translators sign a statement that says they understand that if we are kidnapped by guerrillas, no attempt will be made to ransom us," Garrett said. "If we are killed, we will be buried in the mission field." "This is a real mission work for me," said Garrett. "I know that God will provide the support needed." "I really enjoyed my work at Phillips," adds Garrett. "I would be less of a person without that experience. I really learned a lot.

State workers get cash for ideas in new By Thomas Schwartz Joyce Mounce, assistant vice president for administration, recently announced CSU's participation in the statewide Productivity Enhancement Program (PEP). PEP is designed to give recognition and cash awards to employees of state agencies whose creative ideas have demonstrated in their agency or institution an increase in productivity, cost curtailment, or improved efficiency, safety and morale. "If an employee finds a way to save money, they can receive a cash award," Mounce said.
Mounce indicated all state employees, except those individuals with on-going responsibilities in management, are eligible for the PEP. "Custodial people, cafeteria workers—they are all eligible," Mounce said. Cost containment and improved productivity, despite declining state revenues, is the goal of PEP, Mounce stated. "Sometimes our best ideas come from people who work with the problems we face on a daily basis." Awards are given as an incentive for

'PEP' program
employees to share and seek to implement cost-cutting, efficiency-increasing measures. Cash awards (Individual Incentive Compensation) are made only for proposals resulting in real cost savings to an agency. The amount of the award is limited to 25 per cent of the total savings, with a maximum award of $5,000. Individual Incentive Awards of a certificate and lapel pin are given for those employees making exceptional contributions to their respective work unit. Mounce indicated that she has "had several calls" about the program and she
has received "a couple of ideas for passing on to the state." Persons having ideas must be nominated for an award, usually by their immediate supervisior. In some cases, however, the person can be nominated by persons in higher level administrative positions. The program was announced by the state at the end of January. It is currently underway across Oklahoma. "I believe this is a positive way to invite input from employees concerning the way business is done," Mounce said.

Tibbetts rocks in concert In concert at 8:30 p.m. Sunday at the Sooner Theatre in Norman will be guitarist Steve Tibbetts, sponsored by the Shanghai Noodle Factory. Tibbetts, who was born in Wisconsin, began his career in a high scool rock band called Seabiscuit. After graduation, Tibbetts attended Macalester College, where he majored in art. He recalls, "Having finished by art major requirements in my senior year, I moved into a recently set up 4-track studio in the music department. I dropped my other courses so I could spend all
my time there. I had always wanted to make an album, so I did. I was only expecting to sell 200 or so, but it caught on in certain areas. I got lucky and sold 300 copies." Tibbetts' efforts at promoting his own record had paid off, and he was able to assemble his own 8-track studio; here, he composed, performed, engineered, produced, mixed, designed, supervised the pressing, distributed and promoted his second album, "YR," which has sold over 10,000 copies to date. Tibbetts describes his work as
folk music: "I am an untrained musician and 'a folk' as well. In fact, I would even call rock folk music. More than any individual artists, sounds in general are my biggest influence..." Tickets for the Steve Tibbetts concert are $7 in advance for reserved seats and are available at Youngblood Sound in Quail Plaza, Audio Dimesions, The Second Fret, Cartunes in Stillwater and the Sooner Theatre box office. Tickets are $6.50 by mail from Shanghai Noodle Factory, 413 N. Blackwelder, Edmond, Ok 73034.
Walk serves as juror in airport art festival William Wallo, associate professor of Art, served as a juror for the Oklahoma City Arts Commission "Art in the Airport" mural competition.

The murals hung in the airport for several weeks prior to the judging. The winning students will be notified by mail Friday and cash awards will be presented to the winners at the Oklahoma City Council meeting March 12. A reception will be March 18 at the airport for all participating students, teachers, sponsors and arts commissioners. Wallo teaches classes in figure drawing and design as well as a special course in studio mural design.

'Cosby Show' deemed 'hilarious' By Lee Henderson Bill Cosby, the comedian who first amused the public with his role in the 1965 NBC detective comedy "I Spy," then with his cartoon "The Fat Albert Show," has set out to and accomplished the task of rescueing NBC's prime-time ratings and America's prime-time viewing from "the blahs." "The Cosby Show" is a very modern sit-corn based on characteristics and problems of the typical American family today, such as braces, blind dates, pimples and "be home at 11." The cast is shown as being a somewhat ordinary family, but there is one twist that may seem surprising or cause controversy to arise, and that is the fact that the entire regular cast of the show is black.
Since the characters are black, "The Cosby Show" shows that no matter what the race or color of the family, there are certain traits and behaviors common to all families in America. Review Cosby, a father of five himself, brings a great deal of the common everyday enigmas of home into his show, giving it an extremely believable appearance. Heathcliff Huxtable (Cosby), an obstetrician, and his wife Clair (Phylicia Ayers-Allen), who is a legal attorney, attempt to raise a family of four children in a New York City suburban community. Produced by Marcey Carcey, "The Cosby Show" is somewhat reminiscent of "Father Knows Best," with it's ups and downs
and bitter-sweet attitude toward child-raising. The kids construct humorous situations without being clever, obnoxious, or acting as though they were grown-ups trapped in children's bodies. There are no "larger-than-life" situations or characters to help keep the show afloat. There will be no tokens thrown in, and most importantly, states Cosby, "there are no racial stereotypes or myths," which he feels has polluted the television screen, and distorted the general viewing public's idea of minorities by many past black television shows. Aired at 7 p.m. on Thursday, "The Cosby Show" may be the new season's only run-away hit, seemingly standing head and shoulders above the three major network's vast "waste-lands."

Sooners outlast Bronchos By Ed Godfrey Sports Editor Central State University stayed close for awhile but the University of Oklahoma pulled away in the heavier weights to claim a 31-14 dual victory in college wrestling Saturday night at the Broncho Fieldhouse. The Bronchos got victories from Billy Reid at 118-pounds, Jack O'Connor at 158-pounds and Johnny Deaton at 177-pounds. CSU's Ricky Bollenbach battled to a 4-4 draw with OU's Glen Goodman at 142-pounds.
The Bronchos' Kevin Freeman works a reversal on the Sooners' Darren Higgins in the 150-pound match Saturday night. Higgins scored a 15-5 major decison over Freeman.
The Sooners are ranked third nationally in the NCAA while CSU is tied for second with Central Washington in the NAIA rankings. "I really felt like we wrestled
pretty good against Oklahoma," said CSU coach David James. "At 134, we wrestled tough but lost 6-2 and the match was a lot tougher than that." Reid's 2-1 decision over Melvin Goree gave CSU an early lead, but the Bronchos forfeited at 126 before Joe Starzenski lost the 6-2 decision to Nick Neville at 134. Bollenbach then tied Glen Goodman 4-4 at 142. At 150, OU's Darren Higgins major decisioned Kevin Freeman, 15-5. O'Connor decisioned Ken Fisher, 10-4, at 158 and the Sooners' John Laviolette won by fall over Howard Seay at 167. Deaton won his bout with Melvin Douglas by injury default when the CSU 177-pounder was slammed to the mat and couldn't continue. OU clinched the victory when
Dan Chaid pinned Keith Combs at 190 pounds and heavyweight Mark Tatum put icing on the cake for the Sooners by scoring a major decision over Curtis Riley, 13-3. "At 167, 177 and 190, OU is probably as good as anyone in the nation," said James. "I think we surprised them at some of the other weights." CSU is not in action again until the NAIA national championships in Jamestown, N.D., March 7-9. The Bronchos are the defending NAIA wrestling champions and finished their dual season at 10-9. CSU is conducting twoworkouts daily this week to prepare for the NAIA meet and have qualified seven wrestlers to the national tournament.

Relay squad nabs crown By Ed Godfrey Sports Editor Central State University's 2-mile relay squad captured the national championships and the Bronchos finished sixth as a team in the NAIA National Indoor Track Championships over the weekend. The sixth-place finish was the highest ever by a Broncho team and the 2-mile relay squad was the first national champion that CSU has boasted since the 1982 distance medley relay won a national indoor title. "We have always had a good 2-mile relay but we have never won a national championship before," said CSU track coach Paul Parent. "We missed the national meet record by 1.5 seconds. They did a super job." The relay squad of Joe Scott, Rodney Buss, Charles Jones and Keith Singleton won the national championship with a time of 7:44.15. The quartet had set a school record earlier this season in the event with a time of 7:40.9. In all, the Bronchos had six individuals win All-American status at the meet and two

tracksters were All-Americans in two events. To be named an All-American, a trackster has to finish in the top six in an individual event or be a member of a relay team that finished in the top three. Gilbert Hornbeak placed fourth in the 35-pound weight throw with a toss of 55-3, which set a new school record. Hornbeak duplicated the fete in the shot put by nabbing another fourth and breaking another school record with a heave of 52-101/4 . Scott was a double AllAmerican as a result of his third place finish in the 880-yard run. Scott's time was 1:55.95.

CSU's mile-relay team (Coty Duling, Jones, Dewayne Hunter and Singleton) placed fourth with a time of 3:21.96. The squad set a school record in the preliminaries with a time of 3 : 21 . 92 . In the preliminaries, Steve Brown ran the third leg instead of Hunter. Duling also finished sixth in the 60-yard dash with a time of 6.38. Carrie Tucker, the Lady Bronchos' lone entry, placed fourth in the 60-yard high hurdles in a time of 8.17. John Begay just missed an All-American title by finishing seventh in the 2-mile run.

also made the finals but did not place. "We were real pleased," said Parent. "Everybody competed well. Last year the same group of guys went up there and were kind of awe-struck. This year they made up their minds to go out there and compete." Wayland Baptist, Texas won the team title with 78 points. CSU compiled 29 points. "We were one point out of fourth place," said Parent. "If we could have manufactured one more point we could have got one of the big ole' trophies."

All Central State University head basketball coach Buddy Armstrong and the rest of his Broncho cagers can do now is wait. The Bronchos will be playing in the District 9 playoffs Saturday night, but where and who depends on what Bethany Nazarene and East Central do this week. CSU is currently tied for fifth in the t Sempert Ratings, but still have a chance to get the fourth and homecourt spot if both of those teams lose this week. "There is nothing we can do," said Armstrong. "We're just in a hole and waiting." Bethany Nazarene travels to Southeastern to close out its season and East Central does the same at Oklahoma Baptist. CSU ended its season last week with a 74-71 overtime loss at Cameron. The Bronchos had a chance to assure themselves of a homecourt berth but lost their last three games, two by one-point and one in overtime. CSU ended the regular season at 20-13. "We had a chance to win all three of those games, but the Cameron game is the one I really thought we should have won," said Armstrong. "We kind of gave that one away. We led 95 percent of the game." Larry Harris had 28 points in a losing effort for CSU. The Lady Bronchos ended their season at 7-21 as Cameron defeated CSU, 76-61. CSU had rallied to tie the game 37-37, but the Lady Aggies then went on a • 19-4 scoring spree to nail down the win. Leigh Stewart and Beverly Crawford led CSU with 14 and 12 points respectively.
