Becky Staggs helps Jennifer Long with a crafts project Friday at the University Center. Staggs and other campus students, faculty and staff participated in the annual Christmas party by entertaining approximately 60 Edmond grade school children. Games, refreshments and gift-giving highlighted the afternoon. The party was sponsored by the President's Club.
The president of the Student Association resigned effective the end of the fall 1985 semester to take a job with the federal government. Student Association President John Buttry announced plans to resign at the Dec. 2, Student Senate meeting. Buttry resigned to accept a job as student liason officer of the U.S. Department of Education. Buttry, a political science major from Yukon, will serve in the appointed position from December 30 through July 4, 1986. Vice President Mark Kinzie will assume the position of president until Buttry's one-year term expires in April 1986. "I think it's a great opportunity," Buttry said regarding the job. Buttry, the first Oklahoman to be appointed student liason officer, will be working in the Department of Education in the office of the Deputy Undersecretary for Intergovernmental and Interagency Affairs. His duties will include controlling the publishing of a monthly newsletter which is distributed to more than 3,200 colleges and universities, maintaining contact with national student organizations and associations, relaying student concerns to the Department of Education and informing the department of student reac-
tions to administrative policies. "I'm thrilled that people have placed such confidence in me and my abilities to be successful in a highly responsible job," Buttry said. Buttry will be paid a salary while he is in Washington, and is eligible to continue his education at CSU through either practicum credit or an internship. Concerning the student senate, Buttry said he feels the leadership change may create a setback. "It means yet another period of transition," Buttry said. "The Senate's going to have to decide whether it wants to stay the course it's on now or rearrange priorities under a new leader." "As far as priorities go, I think he (Kinzie) is concerned with getting some things done now, where I've looked more to long-range goals. Buttry said he thinks Kinzie will be able to work with the Senate. "I think Mark has the capabilities of doing an admirable job," Buttry said. But, he believes Kinzie may be at a disadvantage when it comes to negotiating with the administration for approval of Senate resolutions. "It takes about a semester to really learn what you're doing," Buttry said. It was through the student newsletter he will be editing that
John Buttry Buttry first learned about the liason officer position. "I requested an application and recieved it Nov. 1. It had to be filled out and in Washington by Nov. 8," he said. The application included not only personal data, but required Buttry to answer seven essay questions. "They were questions like, 'Tell everything you know about the student aid programs,"' Buttry said with a smile. Approximately 100 students from across the United States applied for the position, the majority of the applicants being president of their school's student government. Buttry, with three other finalists, was flown to Washington by the Department of Education on Nov. 26 for a twopart interview. The finalists were first interviewed by a panel of national student leaders, the current student liason officer and officials from the Department of Education. Nancy Harris, Director of Intergovernmental Affairs, conducted the second part of the interview. "I've been in a state of euphoria since learning of my appointment. This truly is a once in a lifetime opportunity," Buttry said.
First semester in effect
70% attendance rule; Is it fair? By Michael R. Mobly Associate Editor As the fall semester draws to a close some students in the journalism department are finding themselves failing classes even though they may have a passing grade. The ironic disappointment is due to a new attendance policy adopted by the journalism department this semester. The policy requires students to attend at least 70 percent of each class.
•
"We just got tired of lecturing to empty classrooms," said Dr. Ray Tassin, chairman of the journalism department. Tassin said he feels students should be responsible enough to attend classes in which they have enrolled. The current attendance policy at CSU allows each instructor to initiate their own individual attendance policy. "The faculty in our department felt this was unfair to some

students who might have an isolated instructor who is tougher than the others," Tassin said. "We had a unanimous decision to adopt an overall departmental policy at the beginning of the semester." Tassin commented that CSU has had a similar policy in the past. "This was a campus policy when I first started teaching here 25 years ago," he said. "But, the policy was dropped about 10 years ago, something I hated to see happen." Tassin said he feels a lack of classroom attendance has become a university-wide problem. But, some professors disagree. Dr. Don Green, chairman of the CSU history department, said he feels there is no need for a mandatory attendance policy of this kind at CSU. "I've found, with students in history or geography that if they don't come to class they usually just don't make the grade," Green said.
However, he said he feels if a student can miss several classes and still make a good grade, then it is not the student who is at fault. "If students can miss more than 30 percent of a class and still make an "A" there is something wrong with the instructor's curriculum." Tassin's answer to this is that he has never had a student miss a lot of classes and still make an "A". "My tests are taken mostly from my lectures," Tassin said. "If a student can miss class and still make good grades on a test, then they must be depending on someone else for the notes. Edmond junior, Melissa Mercer, one of the disgruntled students who will fail a journalism class due to the attendance policy, said she feels instructors should at least inform students when they near the 30 percent absent rate. "I don't know of any institution that doesn't allow a student some warning, or at least some kind of restitution or probation to fall back on," she said.
Tassin said he feels students should be treated as adults, and as adults they should be responsible for keeping a count of their absences. Mercer said she feels it is wrong for students to be judged on the basis of their attendance, rather than their academic achievements. When asked if the new policy is working, Tassin replied that attendance is up 50 percent cornpared to the last three to four years. Will other departments on campus return to the strict attendance policy? One department chairperson said they still leave attendance policy up to the instructor. Dr. Barbara Norman, chairperson of the oral communication department, said that they are not considering an overall departmental policy. "However, we do support the journalism department's decision, and we would be open to discussing the issue," she said.

Opinion Page College bowl OK'd; the rest up to students By Curtis Killman Editor Students here on campus may soon be able to take part in a bowl game other than the athletic type. It's called a college bowl. The idea originated from a student senate resolution that was passed during the spring 1985 semester. Now that it has been approved by the administration, action can be taken to make the college bowl a reality. Commentary Here is how it works. A panel of students will compete against each other in a question and answer game with points given to the smartest team. The team with the best score wins. The team notching the most wins will be declared champions. As an incentive, four tuition and fee waiver
scholarships will be awarded to each member of the winning team. The hope is that the winning team will go on to compete against the champions of other participating universities. Congratulations to last semester's student senate for finding a resolution that the administrators would approve. Thanks to the administrators for funding an educational after-class activity for a change. If members of the student senate want to divert funds from what they say is a fat athletic budget, then they need to give administrators alternatives like the college bowl, rather than just broad based mandates. Now it's up to the student senate "leadership" to organize the college bowl so that it becomes more than a turtle-race, movie night or ping pong match.

I am not appreciative of the article "Hot corner..." by Mr. Tom Schwartz (Vista Nov. 26). It is very inaccurate and I feel it needs some clarification. John Wendell Simmons and Polly Simmons Graham are brother and sister and donate funds to our school in memory of their parents (Wendell and Pauline Simmons) who were CSU graduates. Tom also assumes that the money for the park can be used in whatever manner the school wants. This is not true. Mr. Simmons went to Dr. Larry Williams office and on behalf of his parents, donated the $18,000 to fix up the corner of Second and University. This is to beautify our campus. This is just as important to a college as academics. It is what draws interested people to Central State in the first place. It will also be a good place to study, relax and play. Another major error that Mr. Schwartz makes is that he thinks the founding of a "Wendell and Pauline Simmons Memorial Academic Scholarship" would be the best way to honor them. There already is such a scholarship and I am the grateful recipient of it this year. This scholarship came from a $10,000 donation in 1984, for the specific purpose of providing scholarships for Liberal Arts students. John Wendell Simmons is president of the CSU Foundation and is a member of the Tower Club, a continuing fund drive for Foundation scholarships. He responds to every fund raising drive we have, and cares for the betterment of our education. Mr. Simmons has also helped the journalism department greatly as has his company, Oklahoma Natural Gas (Mr. Simmons' title at ONG is Director of Publications). Unfortunately, Tom's inaccuracies could detriment future proposals. Mr. Simmons and Mrs. Simmons both get The Vista and I am ashamed of the poor journalism in the article, "Hot corner sold to the highest bidder." I am very appreciative of my scholarship and of the concern for academics and higher education shown by Wendell Simmons and Polly Simmons Graham. Kimberley Perry
Family deserves apology To the editor: I am extremely disappointed by the lack of judgement shown in The Vista commentary
printed Nov. 26. The commentary sunk to an alltime low with its criticism of John Wendell Simmons and his sister, Polly Simmons Graham, for funding Simmons Park in honor of their parents. Despite the fact that the Simmons family is free to spend its money on any projects of its choosing, there were numerous inaccuracies in the story. The commentator first criticized the decision to beautify the corner of Second and University with the flowerbed, berm, landscaped area and memorial marker in honor of Wendell and Pauline Simmons. The money would be better spent on a scholarhsip, said the author. Had the author bothered to read the press release about the Simmons family and the groundbreaking, he would have known that a $10,000 memorial scholarship has already been established in the name of the late Wendell and Pauline Simmons. The commentary's author also should have known, had he checked his facts before writing the commentary off the top of his head, that the Wendell Simmons he says will be lost to anonymity along with other CSU graduates, was only last week posthumously inducted into the Edmond Hall of Fame. His community service included some 30 years as Edmond postmaster, president of the CSU Alumni Association and member of the board, and the public address announcer at high school and college sporting events where he was known as the Ole' Skipper. Ironically, The Vista has criticized the same John Simmons who initiated a grant from his employer, Oklahoma Natural Gas, for a $1,000 donation to the journalism department. The report of this grant, which will help fund the business and economic reporting sequence, was carried in the Oct. 1 edition of The Vista. In addition, John Simmons has been instrumental in raising funds for the extremely popular KCSC radio show, "Prairie Home Companion," as well as being a contributor himself to the student radio station. The immature author vaccilates wildly in his opinions. In the Oct. 10 edition of The Vista, he attacks "negativism I hear about Central State." As he goes on to explain, "few of the complaints take reality into account." That is certainly apparent in his latest commentary which evidently was published without conscientious editing or supervision. In addition, the headline is misleading to the
point of being a gross inaccuaracy. The corner where Simmons Park will be built was not sold to anyone. It remains a part of the university. A visit with John "Skip" Wagnon, alumni director, would have been enlightening, if the commentator had bothered. He would have learned the difference between an unconditional gift that the CSU Foundation is free to use for scholarships, reasearch, and special projects, and conditional gifts that are given for purposes specified by the donor. In this case, the Simmons family designated its gift be used for the beautification project. The administration was pleased to accept the donation for the intended purpose. But the most disturbing aspect of the commentary is the effect it may have on the entire donor program at CSU. What alumni members are going to be willing to donate to the university if they are subject to public criticism for both their motives and their intelligence? John Simmons and his sister deserve an apology from both The Vista and from the commentator. One can only hope that better judgement will be exercised in the future when loyal alumni are involved.

Dorm resident tired of 'idiocy ' To the editor: Like everyone else, I am sick and tired of these continuous false fire alarms in the dorms. But this letter is not for the fools who pull them, it is for the dimwitted who, when they think they are being cute and funny, yell at the top of their lungs that "they saw John Smith pull the alarm." Your thoughtless idiocy knows no boundaries, does it? When you think you're being cute, do you realize that someone might take your stupid lie seriously? Of course you don't! But then you don't do much thinking — do you? No, you just bray like the jackass you are! Remember the movie Network? Well, I'm like Howard Beale — I'm mad as heck and I'm not going to take it anymore. So before you decide to shout like a fool, be careful. Someday someone's fist might beat your foot to your mouth.

Taiwanese student Ming-Whei You proudly presents his project, based on his homeland, for English Composition International. The idea for projects to be based on a student's heritage, which began three years ago, has been quite a success, according to English instructor Cynthia J. Chapel.
OSU 'no-tobacco' rule a success A new "no tobacco" policy adopted this fall on the Oklahoma State Universtiy campus has instituted strong prohibitions in all of the university's academic buildings. Individual offices and some research laboratories are exempt, and smoking in conference rooms is permitted only if approved by a majority vote of the assembled group. Tobacco use is still allowed in the student union and in sports facilities for football, basketball and baseball. OSU forestry professor Ed Langwig, who serves on a committee to implement the policy, said he feels there has been a real improvement across the campus. Langwig said most of the complaints about the policy have come from non-smokers who don't feel the policy is severe enough. Many non-smokers now complain about smoking in the restrooms and want more "no-smoking" signs posted, he said. OSU officials said there has been no penalty administered for breaking the new rule, and that they feel peer pressure, internal agreements and low-key reference to the policy will be the best way to approach enforcement. E.E. Davidson, OSU vice president for business and finance, said smokeless tobacco was included in the policy because of janitorial complaints of chewing tobacco and "spit cups" left in the classrooms, and spit in the waste cans. OSU student government president Joe Starr said many students who once used smokeless tobacco in the classroom are now dipping or chewing after and between classes.
Alabama campuses segregated U.S. District Judge U.W. Clemon called Auburn University Saturday, the most segregated campus in Alabama, and has given Gov. George C. Wallace until Valentine's Day to devise a plan to remove segregation from Alabama universities. The Auburn campus had a black student enrollment of slightly more than 2 percent last year and a black faculty of 0.6 percent. The ruling also brought to light Auburn's predominantly white Montgomery campus, which Clemon said needlessly duplicates programs at mostly-black Alabama State University in the same city. Clemon said that in some aspects the state of Alabama has been operating a dual system of higher education. The ruling resulted from a lawsuit filed more than two years ago by the U.S. Justice Department. Clemon heard testimony during a trial this summer and he said he received "mounds" of documents from universities. Clemon said if the state fails to propose a plan that satisfies him, or if it can't reach an out-of-court agreement with the Justice Department by Feb. 12, then he will hold a second trial to determine remedies. John Knight, an Alabama State administrator who led a group of students, faculty and alumni who intervened in the federal court case, applauded the ruling, but said he didn't expect it to bring about any immediate changes, particularly at Auburn.
OKC workforce cut in sight A survey released Sunday reported that nearly a third of Oklahoma City's employers plan to cut their workforce in the first three months of 1986. The survey, taken by Manpower Inc., the nation's largest temporary employment service, said that 31 percent of local employers plan staff cuts in the first quarter of the new year. Fifty-three percent foresee no change in their employment numbers, while only 16 percent predict an increase in employment. This time last year the survey reported that only 16 percent of Oklahoma City employers planned to reduce their staff, and that the number planning to increase their workforce was also 16 percent. The survey, conducted in November, is based on telephone interviews with public and private employers in 375 U.S. cities.
Student officer program benefits campus securit y By K. A. Laflamme
With only two squad cars and limited personnel, campus security had a difficult task patroling the campus until a new program was launched in January of this year. The student officer program has offered an alternative to the expense of hiring additional fulltime police officers.
Sgt. Doris Dunn, campus security, explained the value of the program and the resulting benefits CSU has gained. Dunn said no requirements for student officers exist except a sincere desire to help others. "Your very first commitment is to assist and protect the public," Dunn said. Applications for the student of-

ficer positions were screened by the personnel department and then sent to campus security. The applicants then had an oral interview with Chief Bob Roberts and the three shift supervisors. "You've got to go one on one to find out what they (applicants) are really like," said Dunn. The top six applicants were selected and their applications presented to Dr. Larry Williams, Vice-President of Administration. Williams interviewed the applicants and gave final approval on selections. "I was surprised at the number of applicants and the quality of the applicants," said Dunn. Current student officers are Kay Lewis, Cherri Jennings, Elic Bostic, Jim Fagans, John Greenmyer, and Kirk Lee. Student officers have experienced some problems by participating in the program, said Dunn. "They've gone through a realignment of friends in some cases." The program has also provided some unexpected benefits for campus security. Dunn noted that vandalism and theft of car stereo equipment has definitely decreased. "It has given us high visibility and a quicker response time because we have someone in that area," she said. Dunn said another advantage is the additional help with the escort service provided by campus security. "We don't have to say that we don't have anyone available." A Student Officer's sole responsibility is to patrol the parking areas and dorms. They work 20 hours a week, patroling from 7 to 11 p.m., Monday through Friday. Dunn noted that the student officers follow the same code of ethics as any police officer. The student officers do not carry weapons or have authority to arrest, she said.

ed a string of honors for her 21 books published. The Oklahoma Writers Federation has declared Orwig the recipiant of the Tepee award for her novel "Magic Obsession," which they named the best published novel by an Oklahoman in 1984. Among her accomplishments Orwig has made Waldenbook's romance best seller list seven times. In October, her book "Dear Mit," a collection of letters, was placed third on the list. She has also had her novels printed in 15 different languages, Orwig said. She has earned a bachelor's degree in humanities from Oklahoma State University, and a teaching certificate for secondary education from Central State University, where she served as writer in residence from the spring semester of 1984 through spring 1985. She is currently working towards her master's degree in creative studies at CSU. Orwig taught English at John Marshall High School for two years between 1979 and 1981, but left to begin writing full time, she said. "Runaway Desire," her first novel, was published and printed in 1978. Since then she has had novels printed in both hardback and paperback. "Waldenbooks has also put one of my romance novels on cassette tape," she said.
CSU student Sara Orwig recently attended the RomanticBook-Lovers Conference in New York where she was named top author in romance novels. Her latest novel, "Under the Ginkgo Tree", was published this year by Bantam Publishing Company, and was released last week. Her current endeavor titled "Tides of Passion," is scheduled to be released sometime next year. "It's a historical romance set during a revolution in Chile," Orwig said. "It will be printed by New American Library." She currently is on contract to write two more books for Bantam, she said. Orwig said she tries to write at least eight hours a day and reads
CSU music professor Jan Pokorny-Steele proudly displays souvenirs from her trip to Poland where she attended the I I th International Chopin Competition in Warsaw.
Prof loses heart to Polish people CSU professor Jan Pokorny-Steele recently traveled to Poland to attend the 11th International Chopin Competition in Warsaw because of her love for music, but she said it was the people who stole her heart. "I think the highlight of my trip was the going away party they gave me," Pokorny-Steele said. "They are such warm, loving people." Pokorny-Steele's Polish friends showered her with gifts. "They give you a gift for everything," she said with a smile. The whole trip was really a series of highlights, including the competition, she said. The competition is held every five years and includes 130 Chopin students from all over the world. Pokorny-Steele was the guest of concert pianist Nina Drath, who will be artist in residence at CSU for the sping semester. "Everyone competes on the first level," she said. "Then they are cut to 41 contestants on the second level. The third level has 25 contestants and the finals are narrowed down to six." "All the competitors play for all 21 judges and an audience," Pokorny-Steele said. "It is a full three weeks of Chopin music and it is almost impossible to get in." Chopin is somewhat of a national hero and the event was of national importance to the Polish people, Pokorny-Steele said. "You have to almost fight for your life to get in the door. "Luckily, we had tickets for the entire three weeks of competition." "It was so good to see so many teenagers and young adults at the performances," she said. "They were sitting in the aisles." "Although Chopin was exiled to France and lived most of his life in Paris, his heart belonged in Poland," she said. "He took a handful of Polish soil with him into exile, and when he died his heart was returned to Poland where it is enshrined." "Everyone in Poland knows Chopin literature because they hear it all the time," she said. "For that reason, the international competition is a media event that would be unusual in this country." "He is a national hero almost beyond belief in the eyes of the Polish people and his music is representative of their history and culture." Pokorny-Steele said she brought back many momentos of the trip including posters. "Each year they sponsor a poster contest," she said. "The winner this year depicts Chopin's home with the pruned willow trees that lead up to it. It is rather stylized and made to look like a staff of music." "There were 18 Americans competing, but they didn't make it past the second level," Pokorny-Steele said.

for inspiration. Some of her favorite authors are Georgette Heyer, Charles Dickens and Ernest Hemingway. "The more anyone can read as a writer, the more advantageous it is," Orwig commented. "Writing is a skill, the more a writer practices will help." Orwig said she gets a lot of help around the house, which leaves her more time for her writing. "My husband has always been very supportive," she said. "He has to be in this kind of business."

Surely, even Ebenezer Scrooge himself would smile at the success of his story. Ebenezer Scrooge, you may remember, is from the Charles Dickens Christmas classic "A Christmas Carol." That show will be performed Thursday through Dec. 22 at the Mummers Theatre. Scrooge will be played by none other than Central State University Oral Communications professor Dr. Don Bristow. "A Christmas Carol" was written 142 years ago by Dickens, who was a London newspaper reporter with little formal education and no background whatever in theatre. It's been performed continuously since that time and today remains the most popular Christmas show with theatres in America, according to the show's director, Alan Hanson. "People this time of year are reaching out for something that will put them in the Christmas spirit," he said. "This is the story of an unloving man who learns how to love and how to give love. This is what we are looking for at Christmas." One of Scrooge's problems was that he never took the time to help the poor. "It's a question that's very relevant to modern audiences because the poor are very much with us," according to Hanson. "Tiny Tim has the message. Here is a handicapped child who loves everybody. He seems to have the least but really has the most. It's a beautiful story that will help you look at your fellow man differently." The elaborate set by New York designer Laurel Showmaker has

The show opens at Stage Center at 8 p.m. Thursday. two levels and will be added to for next year's show. Costume designer is Kathleen Eagan, also from New York. Scrims, fog and lights are among the special effects adding mystery to the show.
"A Christmas Carol" will debut at 8 p.m. Thursday. Ticket discounts are available for students, senior citizens and groups. For ticket information, phone 239-7333.

Reddies upset CSU, 18-15 Central State University's bid for a national championship was thwarted Saturday as seventh-ranked Henderson State upset the top-ranked Bronchos, 18-15, at Haygood Stadium in Arkadelphia, Ark. A 42-yard field goal by the Reddies' Keith Bryan with just 1:42 remaining lifted Henderson State to the first-round NAIA playoff victory before 3,606 fans. Henderson State advances to the second-round game against Central Arkansas while CSU finishes its season at 7-2-1. After Bryan's late field goal, the Bronchos had a final opportunity to tie or win it when they got the ball back at their own 20 with just 1:34 remaining. CSU moved the ball to the Henderson 33 with four pass completions by quarterback Glynn Walker and called timeout with 18 seconds left. On third down from the 33, CSU running

back Eddie Goodlow gained three yards. On the next play from scrimmage, the Altus junior was stopped inches short of a first down on fourth-and two and that ended the Bronchos' title hopes. The Bronchos outgained the Reddies, 372-286, in the game. But Reddie quarterback Elgie Richards was seven-of-10 passing in the game and connected on a 65-yard touchdown toss to Greg Williams in the third quarter. CSU was victimized by 11 penalties totaling 95 yards and a pair of lost fumbles in the game. The Bronchos' placekicker, Mark Monroe, also missed field goal attempts of 33 and 52 yards in the first half. The Bronchos quickly gained a 7-0 edge on the their first possession of the game. CSU moved 64 yards on eight plays with relative ease to open the contest as Walker
capped off the drive with a 16-yard scoring pass to tight end Clifford Burney. But things got tougher for the Bronchos after the first touchdown. CSU couldn't sustain a drive the rest of the half and Henderson State cut the lead to 7-6 as Reddie tailback Kenny Fells scored on a threeyard run to end a 58-yard, 10-play drive late in the first half. CSU's Chris Forte blocked the extra point attempt to give the Bronchos' a one-point edge at the half. Midway through the third period, the Reddies took the lead on a 21-yard field goal by Bryan after the CSU defense turned Henderson State away after first-and-goal from the nine. Then Richards connected on his touchdown bomb to Williams on the first play of the Reddies' next possession and it was a 15-7 Henderson State advantage.
CSU then stormed back, tieing the game on a five-play, 77-yard drive when Goodlow raced 53 yards around left end for the touchdown. Fullback John Sterling barreled over the left side for the two-point conversion with 1:50 remaining in the third period and the games was knotted, 15-15. After a stalemate most of the fourth period, Henderson State began its gamewinning drive from its 30 with 5:23 left. The winning field goal came on fourth-andfour from the Broncho 23. Goodlow, who rushed for 179 yards on 30 carries in the game, was named as the outstanding offensive performer in the contest. CSU rushed for 272 yards as a team. Reddie noseguard Steve King won the defensive honor. Hillsdale, Mich., meets Mesa, Colo., in the other semi-final game Saturday.

CSU cagers smash Bartlesville squads Both Central State University basketball squads kept streaks intact Thursday night with a pair of victories over Bartlesville Wesleyan at the Broncho Fieldhouse. The Bronchos pulled away from the visitors in the second half to post a convincing, 75-55, win over Bartlesville Wesleyan for their fourth straight victory of the season. The Lady Bronchos won their second consecutive game after seven straight losses with a 72-52 triumph. In the men's game, Mark Martinovich sparked a second half Broncho surge that saw CSU turn a tight game at halftime into a runaway. CSU led by just 29-25 at halftime, but the Bronchos scored 10 of the first 14 points in the second half and widened that lead to 52-34 with under eight minutes left. The Bronchos' lead increased to 69-46 late in the game before the Eagles cut the gap against the CSU reserves. Martinovich led CSU with 21 points and Collier added 14. It was the Bronchos' fourth consecutive win since dropping their first four games of the season. "We have been playing better," said Broncho head coach Buddy Armstrong, "but our competition hasn't been as strong as it was early in the season. We lost to Ft. Hays, OCC and USAO all on the road and those are tough places to play." The CSU offensive attack has been paced by newcomers Martinovich and Collier. Martinovich, a transfer from Rockhurst College in Missouri, and Collier, a transfer from Phillips, are sparking CSU with a 15.0 and 12.6 scoring averages, respectively. The Lady Bronchos scored the first 10 points of the game against
Bartlesville Wesleyan and were never threatened. The CSU ladies hit nine of their first 11 shots and cruised to a 46-20 halftime edge. Carla Bell led the way with 18 points for CSU while Melanie Jones added 12. Kim Thomas and Cheri Happe scored 11 and 10 points, respectively. "We are playing good basketball and we need to keep it up," said Lady Broncho coach John Keely of CSU's recent performances. "Our shooting percentage has really improved. We were making 20 turnovers a game and shooting 30 percent from the field. Now we are making fewer turnovers and shooting 45 percent. That makes a lot of difference." Both CSU squads host Phillips in a pair of basketball games tonight at the Broncho Fieldhouse. The Lady Bronchos tip-off at 5:30 with the men's game following at 7:30. "Phillips is 6-2 but they haven't played the competition we have," Keely said. "But they got a big win Saturday night over East Central." The Phillips contest will be the last for the Lady Bronchos before the holiday break. The Bronchos play Phillips tonight then could see the team again this weekend in the Phillips Classic. "They're around the .500 mark but they are a good basketball team," said Armstrong of the Phillips men. "We can't take anyone for granted. We need to take advantage of our opportunities to win some games before the holiday break." The Bronchos meet KansasNewman in Friday's game in the Phillips Classic at 6 p.m. Phillips meets Panhandle State in other game Friday night with the winners and losers meeting Saturday for first and third places.
