By Curtis Killman Editor At 9:11 a.m., Friday, Dr. Clif' Warren and Dr. Paul Lehman were approved as deans of the Liberal Arts College and the Graduate College respectively by the Board of Regents of Oklahoma Colleges. The board members voted 5-1 to approve President Dr. Bill Lillard's recommendations with regent John R. deSteiguer lodging the single "no" vote. Regents Wayne Salisbury and Bowie Ballard were absent at the meeting. Prior to the vote, regent Linda Blankenship said that they had received a lot of letters and phone
calls from people concerned about the dean appointments, but she added, that the final recommendation rests with Lillard. Regent Dr. John Folks also asked that university presidents refrain from submitting requests to the board in the form of addendums. Lillard submitted the dean picks to the regents in the form of an addendum last month, which the board promptly tabled. Warren, chairman of the creative studies department, will take over the dean of Liberal Arts College position held by acting dean Dr. Frank Wert. Dr. James Perry, vice president See Regents, page 3
Former grad studies up for new regent post By Curtis Killman Editor The first official act Belva Howard, a former CSU graduate, voted on as the newest member of the Board of Regents of Oklahoma Colleges was a measure to move a personnel committee meeting into executive session to discuss two CSU dean appointments. It takes a unanimous vote to close the door to the public. Howard, busy reading regent policy manuals, must of let the roll call vote sneak up on her. When it came time for Howard to vote, she answered "here," instead of "yes" or "no." Her seasoned fellow regents quickly reminded her of the situation, whereupon she quickly changed her vote to "yes," allowing the regents to move into executive session. This was perhaps the first and last time that Howard's effort to learn regent policy will hurt her. She said she has made every attempt to educate herself on regent procedures. "I intend to adhere to the rules as closely as possible, and keep my personal feelings separate from my job," said Howard. "I think I have a lot to learn to be a good regent."
For the next nine years Howard will indeed have a lot to learn as a regent representing six Oklahoma universities, one of which is Central State University. So, she reads all the policy manuals that pertain to her new job. Howard said she has also made a special effort to go through policy books and code books prior to each meeting so that she can vote wisely on each issue that comes before the board of regents. The disputed CSU dean appointments demanded special attention and Howard said she wanted to adhere to the duties of the regents, omitting any personal feelings she might have on the matter. "It (the dean appointments) has been a deep concern for all of the regents," said Howard. "Before the personnel meeting last week I went through the policy book from front to back." Will the controversy between the president and the faculty hurt the university? "I don't know," said Howard, "I'm too new at this job to even comment on that. I do know that the policy manual states that the board hires college presidents and that the college president's job is to hire faculty and name deans.
In this issue. . Final exam schedule posted...page 3 "Silverado" reviewed...page 5 Prof' puzzles students...page 6 Bronchos expecting a challenge...page 7 CSU grid profile...8
That is the way the code book reads — that the board is not to hire faculty or appoint deans. "Hopefully we have good communication with our presidents. And we are to handle it from that end," said Howard. "The policy manual doesn't say that the faculty has a right to appoint deans," added Howard. "It only says the president does. The screening committee is to make recommendations to the president and you want those recommendations to be considered — they're expected to be considered. But ultimately he has the right to select his deans. That is the rules." Howard, 38, joined the regents this month replacing Ruth Holmes, of Bartlesville. As a regent, some of the duties expected of her non-salaried job will be to make rules and regulations, approve personnel recommended by a university president, authorize purchases requested by university officials and recommend to the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education budget amounts. A former CSU alumna, Howard received her master's degree in guidance and counseling from CSU in 1979. Howard also co-owns a Tulsa jewelry store. The wife of former state Sen. Gene Howard, Mrs. Howard has a 2-year-old daughter. As a former teacher, Howard said she her new job hasn't had any surprises, yet. "I am used to working with educators and I understand their language," said Howard. "I believe I have a basic insight to their needs, as opposed to if I were strictly a business women coming into the educational scene. As for her future goals, she said she plans to work on her doctorate degree in administration.

Opinion Page Who's perfect? By Mark Beutler Associate Editor In high school, my class had an elderly English teacher who would, at times, mispronounce a word or two. The class would erupt with laughter, at which time the teacher's face would turn a bright crimson. She would reply "If you're so perfect that you've never made a mistake, then you can laugh at me." It was the class who would then feel foolish. The journalism profession is the same. Try as we might, occasionally mistakes are made, as in any business. The Vista is a teaching instrument for journalism students whereby they gain insurmountable experience. Through this instrument, those students may reap the rewards of a successful story, or shoulder the blame when a mistake is made. One of those mistakes was made in the July 18 issue of The Vista when a photograph incorrectly identified a member of a campus radio station. A letter to the reporting student who wrote the article is unprintable, due to an excessive amount of profanity in the letter. The broadcasting industry and the journalism industry are closely related in that both strive to communicate with and inform the public. The Vista and KBLZ are closely related, also. Not only do we both serve Central State University, but we both operate on a somewhat smaller level within those industries. The Vista staff and the news reporting students who write for the paper are taught to act in a professional manner. The language used in the above-mentioned letter was not the vocabulary suited to a professional in journalism or broadcasting. A correction in this issue of The Vista will hope to rectify the mistake. As for the author of the letter, perhaps you could learn a valuable lesson from an elderly English teacher that "everyone is not perfect." You might also gain a larger vocabulary.
Reader: Time to enforce the death penalty To the editor: One single blast from a shotgun to the back of the head is all it took to end what had taken 41 years of development of the mind, body, and soul of Chumpon Chaowasin. Citizens of this society should stop for a moment and ask why did this tragedy took place and what can be done to prevent it from happening again. Too many times the victim of such a violent crime is given more than his share to better society and himself, as was the case with Chaowasin. He

worked the graveyard shift at a local grocery store; stocking shelves just so he had more time in the day to study and pay the bills. Chaowasin's life, along with two other hard working citizens, were selfishly and brutally taken away by someone who felt that life should be handed to them on a silver platter. Human life means nothing to individuals who commit these crimes. How do you break the news to the brothers who he laughed, cried and cared for his entire life? What do you say to a mother in a
foreign country who is anxiously awaiting the return of her son who until recently was working on his master's thesis at a university in the United States? Are our lives on earth just a temporary stop for future life elsewhere? Should we strive to better ourselves and the world around us or should we just sit back and wait to see what life can offer us? Justice has to be served to whoever commits these atrocities! After thousands of taxpayer's dollars are spent to try and convict the
Making it harder than it should be To the editor: It is well known that most CSU students have a lot to say on the subject of parking stickers. Most students do not feel that they are necessary. This, however, is not true. Without parking stickers, residents and faculty would have little or no place to park. Therefore it is only logical that they, having special needs, should have special stickers. It is not logical, however, that commuters should have to have area stickers (those stickers which indicate what particular parking lot a student wishes to park in). With the present system, a student who has classes on Monday through Thursday in the Liberal Arts building, and of course has a C-3 parking sticker, cannot go to the library on Friday without parking in the LA parking
lot and walking to the library. That is unless that student gets to the library early enough to get one of the few parking meters, for which he must shell out cash. Another example of the problem with area stickers is the Baptist Student Union (BSU). A student who wishes to go to the BSU had better park very close to the Union if he or she doesn't have the correct parking sticker for that area — the sticker designated for the Math and Science buildings. Many students would like to enjoy such privledges as the library and the Baptist Student Union, but find it difficult with the present parking sticker situation — especially in the winter when walking means freezing. Isn't there something that can be done? Charla Sossen
suspects of such crimes, after the appeals have been heard, then maybe, just maybe justice might be served to those deserving. But, is justice really served when someone is painlessly put to sleep by way of lethal injection? Or should we take up the philosophy of "eye for an eye" or "life for a life" and fill someone's brain up with lead and gunpowder just as they had done to someone else? Will capitol punishment ever be enforced? Or are we going to continue to keep feeding, clothing and bathing the undesirable that commit these crimes? Some people might argue against capitol punishment because of the fact that eventually someone innocent might be executed. Eventually the odds of convicting an innocent criminal and sentencing him to die are definetly there, but that is the risk. Brad Cooley

World, state and local NEWS S. African police arrest 441 The number of people arrested under South Africa's state of emergency rose to 441 on Tuesday as police invoked emergency powers against opponents of the nation's system of racial separation. Police also arrested one of the nation's most visible white activists, Molly Blackburn, on a charge of attending an illegal meeting — a memorial service for four black civic leaders murdered three weeks ago.
2 bodies found in Tulsa County The bodies of two women were unearthed in far west Tulsa County behind the mobile home of a convicted sex offender who was stabbed to death Saturday. Tulsa County investigators discovered the bodies Monday evening and Tuesday morning in a heavily wooded area 75 feet behind the mobile home where Charles Eric Neal lived. Neal, 43, was stabbed nine times in the upper torso and neck with his own knife and left to die on the side of a road less than a mile from his home on 271st West Ave.
Nigh vetoes racing panel bill Gov. George Nigh vetoed an Oklahoma Racing Commission bill Tuesday charging lawmakers were attempting to use it to take away his authority to appoint commissioners of his choice. The bill required the governor to reappoint commissioners whose terms have expired during the same year and while the Legislature is in session. If the governor failed to act, the commissioner would be ineligible for reappointment.

Reagan signs pact with China President Reagan, in his first offical engagement since his cancer surgery, agreed today to a pact with China that opens the way for the sale of American nuclear reactors and technology. Larry Speakes, the White House spokesman, said the long-delayed agreement "provides a legal framework" for the supply of equipment for China's nuclear power program. The pact is subject to Congressional review, although White House officials said it was improbable that Congress would seek to block it.
Filipinos seek to oust Marcos About 200 people, many of them wealthy women, created an uproar in the National Assembly Tuesday by simultaneously unfurling banners calling for the impeachment of President Ferdinand Marcos. Speaker Nicanor Yniguez suspended the session when scuffling broke out as guards tried to seize the banners, draped from the upper level public gallery, and locked the doors so the protesters could not leave. Two opposition members unlocked the doors to let them out.
Rock Hudson in coma Rock Hudson, a movie idol of the 1950s and 1960s who went on to television stardom in "McMillan and Wife" and "Dynasty" is critically ill with inoperable liver cancer in a Paris hospital, his publicist said Tuesday.
Oil firms post losses The Exxon Corporation, the world's largest industrial company, yesterday reported a 44.8 percent drop in second-quarter profits, primarily because it set up a $545 million contingency fund after a court's recent ruling that the company had overcharged oil customers. Elsewhere, the Atlantic Richfield Corporation, the nation's fifth-largest oil company, reported a $1.1 billion loss, one of the highest quarterly deficits in American corporate history. The company is going through a broad reorganization. Two other oil companies that are being restructured, Phillips Petroleum and Diamond Shamrock, also reported weak results. Phillips had a sharp drop in profits, while Diamond Shamrock reported a loss.

Crowd enjoys music, watermelons By Kelly Robison The CSU Summer Band entertained many people with an old fashioned band concert on the lawn south of the University Center July 18. When the concert was over, the crowd was treated to a summer favorite—watermelon. The Summer Band consists of CSU students, high school students and area band teachers. "I just love it. This is a perfect way to spend a summer evening, outside enjoying this wonderful music," said Betty Walace, visiting from Dayton, Iowa. Nancy Stiffler from Duncan said "Everyone should be here to enjoy this. This is just part of summer, people enjoying people." And from Nancy Stif-
fler's son, Jeremy "I love watermelon." The watermelon was donated by the Office of Student Affairs on campus, and according to the majority in attendance, this was a very nice way to spend a summer evening. The concert and the watermelon was free, and it proved to be a lovely evening to sit out on the grass and relax while listening to the music. Dr. Kent Kidwell, professor of music at CSU, commented on the affair. "There were about 200 people attending. We started around 7 p.m. with the traditional music and continued with the concert in the park music. This is an annual event and this year it was a great success," Kidwell said. Clockwise, from upper left, Theresa Glenn and Jeff Kidwell enjoy a traditional summer treat, and Paul Roach displays his skill for meloncutting. Martin Douglas, left, and Kenny Ott perform in the Summer Band. Spectators find a perfect spot to enjoy the sounds of summer, while Channel 2 reporter Laurie Wilson captures the event on film. Laura Smith finds her fork almost as tasty as the watermelon itself.

Class marshalls chosen for summer graduation By Eva Galipeau
Jeannie Franken and Terry Nix have been selected as class marshalls to lead the summer commencement of Central State University Tuesday, July 30 (see related story, page 5). Franken, a graduate of Cedar Valley High School, Somers, Iowa, finished her bachelor of arts degree in sociology with a 3.9 gradepoint average. She plans to work at South Community Hospital. Nix, son of Mr. and Mrs. William D. Nix, resides in Edmond with his wife Shelly, and he finished his bachelor of business administration degree in general business with a perfect 4.0 gradepoint average. A graduate of Broken Bow High School in 1976, Nix will attend Oklahoma City University Law School on a full scholarship through the Hatton W. Sumners Foundation.
After numerous near catastrophies are overcome along the way, the four friends reach Silverado, a corrupt frontier town run by the McKendricks. There they face overwhelming odds in their fight to bring justice back to town.

In a time when computer age and futuristic plots are considered necessary ingredients for a successful movie, it is refreshing to see a well-done western. "Silverado" has just the right mixture of a predictable, but enjoyable plot and quality comic lines. "Silverado" was rated "PG-13" by the Motion Picture

'Prestigious' tournament visited by CSU chief By Joe Park
"The big difference between watching Wimbledon Tennis from Centre Court or on television is realizing the speed of the serves. "You just can't see that on TV," explains CSU's Mary Helen Lillard. She and Dr. Bill Lillard, Central State University president, recently returned from their first visit to what many believe is the world's most prestigious tennis tournament. 0 "It's a trip we've wanted to take for many years but couldn't. It comes at the end of the univerr sity's fiscal year. This is usually the most hectic time for university president's," she explained. "However, this year the legislature has been delayed on appropriations and we felt we could take the time," she added. They went without centre court tickets. "Getting tickets to the finals is somewhat like getting OU-Texas tickets," the long time tennis
player and fan explained. "You look for people who are selling them. In Dallas, they're called scalpers. In London, they're called Touts," CSU's first lady pointed out. While she wasn't ready to admit what centre court tickets cost from Touts, Mrs. Lillard did explain she didn't pay near what was being quoted in the papers. She did her own negotiating after meeting a tennis equipment sales representative who had to return to the states early. She found him after contacting several American hotel bell captains and explaining to them she wanted tickets to centre court. She ended up with "debenture" section tickets. "Those are like OU donor section seats. They're very nice," she explained. In the early matches, centre court tickets aren't so difficult to come by, the Lillards explained. "People come out to see only one or two centre court matches and leave their ticket stubbs for
resale by Wimbledon. Proceeds from the resale are given to charity. We bought two tickets for one pound," Lillard explained. At the time they were there, the British pound was equal to $1.33. Each ticket was 66 cents. Matches on some of the other courts have no admission charge. The couple saw the women's finals between Martina Navratilova and Chris Evert Lloyd and all the pageantry that came during the presentation of the championship trophy to Navratilova. Tickets to that final also gave them a look at the eventual winner, the 18-year-old German Boris Becker. His semi-finals the previous day had been rained out with most of the match completed prior to the women's finals. "It didn't cost us anything extra," Mrs. Lillard explained. Asked if McEnroe would have won if not ill, as was later claimed, she was emphatic. "The way Boris was playing that day, no one
could have beat him, not even Bjorg at his best. I've played the game since I was a young girl, and I've never seen anything like that." As for McEnroe, whom they both expected to see play in the men's finals, Dr. Lillard said, "he may have had something else on his mind this year rather than tennis." McEnroe recently bought a diamond for Tatum O'Neal and the two are a "thing" on the international set. The Lillards admit the trip was a thrill. They enjoyed the traditional strawberries and cream, their own personal tour of London, with the river boat cruise on the Thames, a look at London Bridge, the Tower and special time at the Imperial War Museum. Side trips included crossing the channel to Calais, France, a trip to Dover and a view of the White Cliffs. They also visited many colleges that comprise Oxford University.

Broadway Extension to receive a face lift
Vista photo by Michael Keen
Commuters who travel to Central State University along Broadway Extension this fall may need to plan to spend a few extra minutes on the road. Construction to widen the road has begun which will probably cause traffic to be slower.
By Charla Sossen The Broadway Extension is the primary north and south corridor for Oklahoma County and lately motorists have had to battle major construction on the extension which is converting the highway from four to six lanes. In the 1960's, the daily traffic prediction for the extension by the turn of the century was 35,000 cars. The last traffic count number has been surpassed. Edmond Mayor Carl Reherman explained the city's desire to revise the extension. "We want to bring the extension up to expressway standards with limited access highways," said Reherman. "As it is now, there are too many on and off ramps and not enough lanes." Right now the project extends from the city limits on the south
side up to 15th Street. The second phase will extend from 15th Street to Fifth street. One of the problems of the project is the fact Oklahoma City has not begun work on their part of the extension which is south of 36th street. Reherman said the construction process is very expensive. Phase one alone is costing approximately $2 million. To pay for the construction, the city of Edmond is working with the State Department of Transportation, who is paying for one half of the expenses through a grant. "It will be six months before the construction is completed," said Reherman, "and it may cause some confusion and inconvenience to commuters."
Better lob market predicted By Paula Miller John Wagnon, director of placement and alumni at Central State University, expects the job outlook for graduating students to improve in the near future. He said about 900 student files are filled out through the placement center every year. He said it is difficult to say how many of those are students are actually hired, because the placement office is usually not informed when so-
meone is hired. About 50 companies came to CSU to interview last year compared to 127 companies in 1982. Wagnon said accounting and computer science are the highest paying and the most sought after majors by employers. He said many business related companies, because of high turnover, are often seeking new employees for entry level positions. Wagnon said good grades
are becoming more crucial in landing a job. He said since jobs are more scarce, competition is tougher and employers can be more particular about grades. He also said that work experience is very important, especially if it is career related. Wagnon said there is less discrimination against women in the job market because women are now more competent, have equal education and experience with men,
Office aids in job search
■
By Paula Miller Students in all majors except accounting that hope to get a job through the CSU Placement Center should go there the first week of their last semester of school to begin gathering information, said John Wagnon, director of placement and alumni. The Placement Center is located in room 312 of the University Center. Graduating students will be given a packet
CSU
of information to fill out and return. The packet contains four letters of recomendation that can be written by instructors, or by former employers. After completing and returning all the information in the packet, students should begin watching the lists posted by the Placement Center of companies coming to campus to interview. The lists are posted at numerous locations on cam-
pus. The lists have the name of the company, the date they are coming to interview and the majors they are seeking. When students want to interview with a company, they should call and make an appointment through the placement office. Wagnon said employers sometimes hire students parttime before they graduate, in order for them to work into full-time positions after graduation.

instructor 'puzzles' students
By Elaine Briggs "Puzzles aren't a hobby. That's my profession. It's a way of life." Any Central State University student who has been enrolled in Dr. Charles Douglas' educational measurements and evaluations class can attest to the truth of that statement. Douglas, a professor of professional education at CSU since 1966, enjoys solving riddles and puzzles, but he also finds them to be a valuable classroom tool. The "Douglas Special" puzzles are not a part of the graded curriculum, but a mental exercise intended to stimulate the class. Typically, the puzzles at the beginning of the semester are fairly easy and have multiple solutions. As students become more comfortable with the class the puzzles become more "mind-bending." "I think all students should be exposed to courses where they do things like this because it increases analytical abilities and helps them to really understand basic concepts," said Douglas, who believes most students have been taught to do basic math but not enough thought problems. Seated at his desk in Old North, Douglas shared some of his thoughts on the teaching profession. On the wall behind him are two rustic paintings, gifts from former students. Next to the door is a Willie Nelson poster. "CSU students don't always have a realistic view." Douglas sees this as the main pitfall facing many prospec-
tive teachers. Pointing to inconsistent attendance and frequent tardiness as proof that students don't seem to be concerned about the demands expected of teachers, Douglas applauds the policy of some CSU departments which requires students to attend 70 percent of classes to obtain a passing grade. Part of the role of an education professor is to act as evaluator for student teachers. Douglas normally works with about 12 students in this capacity each year. Over the years he has developed a clear idea of teacher effectiveness. The first three questions asked are: 1. Is the teacher on time? 2. Is there evidence of prior planning? 3. How well does the teacher know the material? If any of these questions receives a consistently negative response Douglas feels there is a real problem. As a member of the Oklahoma Education Association, Douglas believes that teacher organizations encourage professionalism. He agrees with a resolution adopted by the National Education Association at its annual convention supporting dismissal of incompetent teachers, although he feels it will be extremely difficult to enforce. Douglas also questions the value of the so-called entry year program established in Oklahoma to assist and evaluate new teachers before they become fully certified. The former Classen High teacher doubts whether the cost of the program is justified in terms of teacher retention. Over the last two years he has worked with six entry level
teachers. Two have left the profession. Another failed to pass the required competency tests. Two more transferred out of the district, leaving only one who is still teaching in the Oklahoma City area. What change would Dr. Douglas like to see in students? "I like middle school students in about seventh grade bacause they are so curious and responsive. I wish college students, especially those who have not made education their highest priority, could retain that curiosity." Douglas prefers to teach the measurements course because it is a challenge based on objective principles. This is not surprising for a man whose undergraduate and master's degrees are in geology. Micro-paleontology is still one of Douglas' favorite offcampus pursuits. The Cooper, Okla. native makes frequent trips to the plains of South Dakota to collect rock samples which are then prepared for viewing under a binocular microscope in his workroom at home. Although the work is tedious, Douglas enjoys discovering the secrets of life fossilized in the earth's layers. Douglas also enjoys hiking, and he stays in condition for the increased rigors of mountain trails by walking about 10 miles each day. The end of the summer semester will find him with his son Charles in the mountains south of Estes Park, Colo. In the meantime, students who will be taking Evaluations and Measurements in the fall had better brace themselves for the next edition of "Douglas Specials."

I McGivern rejoins Broncho grid staff
John McGivern, who resigned earlier this year as assistant football coach at Central State University, has rejoined the Broncho staff. McGivern resigned at the end of spring practice to accept a position in private business. However, when defensive coordinator Marlon Gay resigned in midsummer, McGivern reconsidered and asked for his old job back. The 34-year-old McGivern had been offensive coordinator and
offensive backfield coach for the past eight seasons at CSU. He was also the Bronchos' chief recruiter and is credited for establishing CSU's successful link with Dallas' South Oak Cliff High School, which has produced four CSU grid All-Americans the last two years. McGivern will assume his old duties as offensive coordinator and he will also coach the offensive line. Boone Copeland, who was hired as assistant coach when

McGivern resigned, will coach the offensive backs. Head football coach Gary Howard will serve as the defensive coordinator and will also work with the offensive line. The Bronchos will report to camp Aug. 16 and will begin twoa-day workouts Aug. 18. The gridders will practice twice daily until school begins Aug. 26. CSU opens the season Sept. 7 against Carson-Newman at Morristown, Tenn.

A challenge has been placed in front of Central State University's football team, a challenge possibly tougher than any faced by a Broncho team. Head coach Gary Howard and staff must replace the bulk of the offensive line and two tackles, two ends and two linebackers on defense. All must come together early to brave a nine-game schedule that includes six away games (five of which are out of state), a season-opening test against the NAIA's two-time defending national champion CarsonNewman and six NCAA Division II teams. Facing the challenge of 1985 will no doubt be a strong chore, but Howard is optimistic as the latest edition of Broncho football should feature some of the best talent ever assembled at CSU. Returning is one of the most talented backfields in Howard's eightyear reign as head coach, a record-tying place kicker, great talent and experience in the defensive secondary with a load of very skilled transfers to fill the spots vacated by last year's seniors. Replacing some of those seniors will not be easy. Gone is two-time All-America Ed Desherow (linebacker), honorable mention AllAmericans Mike Tasby (linebacker), Ron Whitely (center) and Randy Preston (cornerback) plus two and three-year starters at both defensive end and tackle. Experience is missing from key positions to say the least. In all, the Bronchos return 12 starters from last year's club and 27 lettermen. CSU graduated 17 lettermen from last year's squad and 10 starters. Among the returning starters are quarterback Glynn Walker, who compiled 1,616 yards in total offense last season, and running back Eddie Goodlow, who was an honorable mention All-American last season. Among the outstanding newcomers are three University of Oklahoma transfers: offensive tackle Scott Leggett, linebacker Egean Collins and running back Alvin Ross.

CSU went '1-3 last year in what was called a rebuilding year. Even with three losses, the Bronchos were in the race for a playoff spot in the last week of the ratings. CSU finished two points shy of the eighth and final playoff berth. This season opens in much the same way as 1984: a team rebuilt with above average talent, which is untested to a large degree. But the prospects of a third playoff appearance in four years and a ninth consecutive winning season are high in the CSU camp. The Bronchos will also be looking to extend a school-record streak of 93 straight games scored in. The strength of the club should be the offense, with another explosive, balanced edition of strong running and big-gain passing plus the kicking of Mark Monroe. While the offensive line is untested, it has the potential to be very good. The defensive secondary should also be talented. Weakness includes a defense that will feature several new faces who must replaced some All-American players. Areas of particular concern are defensive end and linebacker. Howard is also concerned about the schedule, which may be the toughest in Broncho history. "September will be real important for us," said Howard. "We play some important games early. We have to be ready to play some of our best football at the beginning of the season. "We've given ourselves a chance to compete with the people we play though, with the talent we have. We'll just have to be ready mentally and physically by the first week of the season."

Talent
The following is a position-byposition look at CSU's 1985 football squad: Quarterback: Perhaps one of the strongest positions on the team, Howard is confident with the quarterback situation. Glynn Walker (6-1, 185-pound sophomore) showed a lot of poise as a starter last year and posting some impressive stats as a redshirt freshman. He'll be backed up by Reggie Smith (6-0, 190-pound sophomore) who has a great deal of talent and will undoubtedly see action. Running backs: Another strong position with quality depth. Tailback Eddie Goodlow (5-11, 235-pound junior) was honorable mention All-American last year. He returns with fullback Wayne Ellenberg (6-0, 195-pound senior), a former all-district pick who was very impressive in spring drills. Reserves include University of Oklahoma transfer Alvin Ross (5-11, 230-pound junior); John Sterling, (6-3, 200-pound junior), a two-time letterman); and Clint Howard (5-9, 185-pound sophomore). Receivers: Flanker Aaron Bruner (5-8, 115-pound senior) is All-America material and split end Tony Felton (5-10, 170-pound junior) is not far behind. OU transfer David Carter (6-1, 185-pound junior) should be a good addition to the receiving corps. At tight end, Clifford Burney (6-1, 220-pound senior) is a three-year letterman with alldistrict talent. John Holmes (6-1, 225-pound junior) has lettered two years and Marques Jackson

(6-4, 220-pound junior) in a Tulsa transfer. Also waiting in the wings for a chance to play is Ronnie Neal, (6- 1 , 220-pound sophomore) who looks to be a future standout. Offensive linemen: CSU lost three very good people in this trench, but the replacements have potential. Offensive guard Jimmy Banks (6-3, 250-pound junior) and center Jeff Pyle (6-2, 230-pound junior who moved from guard) are returning starters with plenty of experience. Other slated starters, all OU transfers) are Lee Dudick (6-5, 265-pound junior) at the other guard and tackles Scott Leggett (6-5, 270-pound junior) and Silas Satepauhoodle (6-7, 320-pound junior). With this lineup, CSU has the potential to boast one of the biggest (average 6-4, 267-pounds) and best offensive lines in the nation. In addition, CSU has young-

but-talented depth in Jeff Bishop (6-1, 220-pound sophomore), Mike Daniel (6-2, 225-pound sophomore), Mel Hackett (6-2, 240-pound sophomore) and John Thomas (6-4, 225-pound sophomore). Defensive linemen: Noseguard Charles Bell (6-1, 230-pound junior) is the only returning starter on the down line and he's quickly becoming an AllAmerican type player. New starters won't necessarily be new faces. Lee Haff (6-2, 235-pound senior) lettered last year. Paul Smith (6-5, 275-pound junior), an OU transfer, has the size and talent and should play a big part in the defense. Larry Wooten (6-1, 250-pound sophomore), a Fort Hays, Kan., transfer, has some experience and is very strong, as is Prentice Washington (6-5, 235-pound sophomore), who was moved from offense to defense in the spring.
Ends and Linebackers: Both ends and both linebackers will have to be replaced, but excellent talent and a good mix of experience will fill the holes. At defensive end, Herb Allison (6-1, 215-pound senior) is a three-year letterman who will finally get a starting nod and could be an alldistrict player. Dean Shinault (6-2, 215-pound freshman), an OU transfer who didn't play last year, is expected to be one of the best in District 9. Reserves at end include Julius Elder (6-1, 220-pound junior), Chris Forte (6-0, 225-pound junior), and Winfred Jones (6-1, 215-pound freshman). Linebacker promises to be another bonus for CSU defensively. OU transfer Egean Collins (6-2, 225-pound sophomore) and letterman Dana Garcia (6-1, 220-pound senior), Mark Knight (6-3, 230-pound junior) and Brian Mann (5-11, 205-pound junior) should make contributions.
Defensive backs: A good deal of experience and a great deal of talent will be featured in the secondary. Depth is a little slim, but all four projected starters have been first teamers in the past. At cornerback will be Lester Baldwin (5-11, 206-pound senior), a three-year starter and pro prospect, and Neal Galbraith (6-0, 170-pound sophomore), who led the team in interceptions with six as a freshman. Two-year letterman Todd Tims (5-11, 185-pound senior) will start at weak safety and call secondary signals again this year. Strong safety will be Larry Porter (5-10, 185-pound sophomore) who was starting at the end of last season. Reserves include Oklahoma State University transfer Mark Barre (5-10, 190-pound junior), Bo Counts (5-11, 180-pound sophomore) and Glen Townsend (5-10, 180-pound sophomore). Specialists: Kicker Mark Monroe (5-10, 185-pound junior) returns. An Academic AllAmerican last year, Monroe tied a school record with eight field goals in 1984. He's consistent and gives CSU an added threat of scoring anytime the team crosses the 30-yard line. Deep snapper Mark Ryan (6-3, 190-pound junior) underwent knee surgery late last season, but should be 100 percent this fall. The main return specialist will again be flanker Aaron Bruner. He averaged nearly 15 yards per return in 1984. Punting chores will be decided in pre-season drills, with redshirt freshman Ken Bauman (6-1, 185-pounds) a likely candidate.
