Ten years ago, Martin P. Knowlton, educational activist and self-styled "social inventor," returned to the U.S. from an extended trip to Europe with a fresh insight and a new enthusiasm. The insight was that older adults were being short-changed by the then prevailing image in this country of older people as enfeebled, useless and dependent. Characteristically, his enthusiasm was to do something to correct the situation. And thus was born the Elderhostel program. Inspired by the youth hostels and folk schools of Europe, Elderhostel is based on the conviction that retirement years represent an opportunity to enjoy new experiences. The success of that idea was celebrated Monday with a "birthday" party marking the tenth year of the program. CSU, which is in its third year of participation in the nationwide program, is hosting Elderhostel week which began Sunday and runs through Saturday. "Elderhostelers live in the dormitories for the week-long event, eat meals at the college cafeteria with other summer students and take classes taught by university professors," said Dr. Margaret Isaac, CSU Elderhostel director. Isaac, an associate professor of psycholgy and gerontology, said the Elderhostel Program is in its third season. Besides classes, there are opportunities for sightseeing, extra-curricular excursions, exercise and visiting. Visiting is a big attraction to the participants. "It's the best way for people our age to associate with each other," said Mary Christian, San Saba, Texas, who also was a participant last year. "I love meeting people with so much in common, and I've developed several extended friendships through these programs."
"The biggest threat to a retired person is boredom," said John Morgan, also a participant last year. John and his wife, Wilma, drove from Borger, Texas to attend. It was one of the ten Elderhostel programs they've attended in the last three years. "Retirement leaves a void, but Elderhostel gives you a chance to be a student again. There's a lot of satisfaction in that." "We get the local history at every university we visit. We like Central State so well, we've been here twice." See related photos on page 4. "Elderhostel just couldn't run wthout Dr. Isaac pulling the whole thing together. It's leadership that makes the program so good here," said Horace Nance from San Saba, Texas. This year's faculty includes CSU teachers and gerontology graduate students. The highlight of the staff, most Elderhostelers insist, is assistant history professor Royce Peterson, who will offer "The Westward Movement in Song." The history and folklore of the American frontier will be traced from east coast to west coast; coal mines to gold mines; cowboy to gunfighter, a journey led by the singing historian. Another CSU class being taught is "Sex, Perversion and Violence in the Days of Homer," a discussion of Greek literature. Humanities instructor Lillian Boland is teaching the class. A third offering is "Changes in Economic Policy Since John F. Kennedy," taught by Dr. Bill Hildred, associate professor of economics. Discussion will cover a broad range of topics, including full employment, inflation, growth, poverty, taxation and reindustrialization.

Don't open that car door By Curtis Killman Editor The Edmond City Council has done it again! At an April meeting the City Council passed a new ordinance which makes it unlawful to open your car door into oncoming traffic. Editorial This new restriction obviously precipitated from someone's brush with a hinged hazard. The new law allows police to ticket anyone who causes an accident by opening a car door. Those who are prosecuted of this crime will be those
The Vista (LISPS 661-700) Editor Curtis Killman Associate Editor Mark Beutler Associate Editor Ed Godfrey Director/Executive Editor Hank Mooney Administrative PublisherDr. Ray Tassin The Vista is published as a teaching instrument for journalism students under the Department of Journalism, published on Tuesdays and Thursdays, throughout the regular school term, except during examinations and holidays, and on Thursdays only, during the summer term.

who don't know the right people, just like the new open container law for 3.2 beer that was passed at the same meeting. Since the safety subject has been raised by the city fathers, why not tack on a few more restrictions: 1. The darting child ordinance—Any child on a wheeled object (unicycle, bicycle, tricycle, etc.) who darts out from between two parked cars into oncoming traffic and is struck shall be deemed as creating a traffic hazard and ticketed accordingly. 2. The darting animal ordinance—Any critter that obstructs the normal flow of traffic and is mashed flush to the asphalt shall be guilty of the above ordinance and the owner fined accordingly. Get the picture? The list is endless now. What about children, the most notorious of the dangerous door openers? Who will be blamed when they open doors into traffic? The new law could be likened to the
old jaywalking ordinance. Sure it's dangerous to both oncoming traffic and the pedestrian, but how often is it enforced? There are too many variables involved here. Too much subjectivity. How far back does a car have to be to be considered oncoming? One block, two blocks? How fast does an oncoming car have to be going? What if the driver of the oncoming car is not paying attention to the surroundings around him? If everyone who drives obeys the present law that requires all car owners to carry vehicle insurance, then the need to drag the court system into these situations proves nothing. The court system is too clogged an environment to worry about more petty laws. Taxpayers should not have to pay city attorneys and judges for the extra time needed to process such issues.
To the editor: Greek Life at CSU is one of the main avenues of campus involvement. Because CSU is predominantly a commuter university, on-campus organizations lack people to partake in their activities. Greek life, however, offers opportunity after opportunity for involvement and leadership on the college campus. At larger universities, fraternity and sorority members are often depicted as being "snobs" or "cliquish". However, reputations belong solely to the campus from which they are derived. No two Greek systems are alike. Fraternities and sororities at CSU are basically composed of those people who are interested in involvement during their college careers. Greek organizations participate in a variety of activities throughout the school year. Greek Week, Fall Formal Rush, High School Rush Day, and perpetual campus activities are just some of the festivities that involve Greeks during the Fall and Spring semesters. Fraternity Rush parties are generally announced at the beginning of the fall semester, and continue throughout the next several weeks. Sorority Rush parties are planned on a set schedule, beginning with Fall Formal Rush, which takes place during the week before the beginning of the fall semester. During the summer, however, any undergraduate women interested in an overall view of Greek Life at CSU may attend an Ice Cream Social, which is held at the end of July at Fink Park, across from the University Center on Second Street. The dates for Fall Formal Rush this year are August 21-23. Fall Formal Rush is open for all interested undergraduate women, and a small fee is required. Information concerning Fall Formal Rush, as well as any other aspect of Greek activities, may be obtained by contacting Dean Deanna Land in the office of Student Services. Lauren Allen
Do students work too much? To the editor: Apathy on campus. Who cares? Is this the latest trend at C.S.U.? I, too, think that apathetic attitudes seem to be the rage of the day. But does apathy explain fully the reasons behind a recent decline is student participation? I feel that apathy may be an integral reason, but I think that student interests outside the campus, namely jobs, is the main cause. If a survey were to be conducted on campus, it would probably show that more students than ever before are holding full-time and part-time jobs while at-

tending college. These hours during the week that are spent on the job take away from much of the free time that a student has to devote to club activitie and campus events. Rising tuition costs don't help the situation at all. So what is the solution? Perhaps time will take care of the problem. Let us all hope that the economy will take a turn for the better and that students may have more time away from their jobs and more time to spend on college activities. Name withheld by request

World, state and local NEWS Seat belt law signed Beginning Feb. 1 1987 persons riding in the front seats of automobiles will be required to wear their seat belts. Gov. George Nigh signed House Bill 1328 Tuesday—a bill that was passed by the legislature in response to pressure from the federal government that two-thirds of the states inact seat belt laws or face mandatory air bags in vehicles. The new law exempts trucks, vans and recreational vehicles.
Prayer ban upheld Strongly reaffirming its 1962 ban on organized prayer in public shcools, the Supreme Court Tuesday outlawed daily moments of silence if students are told they may pray during that time. By a 6-3 vote, the justices ruled an Alabama law allowing such periods for "meditation or voluntary prayer" by public school students violated the constitutionally required separation of church and state. The decision does not necessarily mean every state law providing for such daily moments of silence is invalid. If the law does not mention "prayer"—and if state legislators did not intend the law to endorse school prayer—it is valid.
Jury recommends execution Gary Alan Walker should die for the murder of Tulsa, newswoman Valerie Shaw-Hartzell, a jury recommended Tuesday. Walker had been found guilty in the second of five slayings he is accused of.
Gandhi Criticizes FBI Prme Minister Rajiv Gandhi criticized the FBI Tuesday for not telling his government that Sikh terrorists planning to assassinate him also intended to blow up a nuclear power plant in India. In mid-May, the FBI announced that it foiled a plot to kill Gandhi while he was in the United States, and had arrested five Sikhs. It said an undercover agent infiltrated the Sikh gang and promised to help acquire arms and explosives for terrorist acts. "The FBI had been involved in giving them training for the particular act they wanted to carry out," Gandhi said. "In certain cases, the people who were giving this clanestine training were in touch with the FBI." He did not elaborate, but apparently was referring to the FBI infiltration.
Reporter recieves jail term Boston television news reporter Susan Wornick was sentenced Tuesday to three months in jail for refusing to identify a source who, with his back to the camera, claimed he saw police officers looting a drug store. Suffolk Superior Court Judge James Donohue told Wornick that she was obstructing justice and "undermining our system of law and order" by refusing to identify the source.
Iran attacked by Iraq Iraq said its warplanes made "devastaing raids" on two Iranian cities and an Iranian camp Tuesday, as it continued to press its Persian Gulf neighbor to negotiate an end to their nearly 5-year-old conflict. A military spokesman announced on state televison that Iraqi warplanes launched raids on Isfahan and Tabriz at 7:30 p.m. and returned unharmed to base. He gave no details.

Leader seeks to revive economy Andreas Papandreou said Tuesday that such pressing economic problems as 10 percent unemployment and an annual inflation rate of 18 percent will get top priority in his Socialist government's second term.

Dance team entertains many By Tim Ray The Kaleidoscope Dancers, Central State Univesity's peforming dance company, entertained a total estimated audience of more than 10,000 this year, said Ann Shanks, CSU dance instructor and choreographer for the company. During some 30 peformances this year, the dancers were seen by audiences as large as five or six hundred at elementary schools and as small as 50 for civic organizations. Many times the company performed two shows in one day, coming in touch with more than 1,000 spectators. "Our dancers were surprised when I told them," said Shanks, "but when you stop to think about it, it makes sense." Shanks said she thought performing in front of so many people was rewarding for the dancers. "It probably helps them to realize they are accomplishing what they set out to do, which is to promote modern dance to as many people as possible," she said. The dance company also recently welcomed 17 former members to the firstever Kaleidoscope Dances reunion.
Former dancers from across Oklahoma came to the reunion which was scheduled to coincide with the dance troupe's annual home concert May 3. The concert was followed by an on-stage get together of present and former Kaleidoscope Dances. A brunch was held the following day for alumni. Tisha Arambula Solomon, a member of the dance team from 1979-81, came from as far away as Tulsa, and other dancers brought their spouses and children, said Shanks. The Kaleidoscope Dancers have had more than 150 members in 11 years, but Shanks said she had enough addresses to send less than 100 mail-out, and half were returned because of incorrect addresses. But Shanks said the reunion helped her find where other alumni are now living. "The dancers who attended knew where some others were that I didn't know, and I knew where some were they didn't know. I just wish I could have gotten with them earlier so that I could have had a more complete list," said Shanks.
Kaleidoscope dance team members D.W. Mason and Gayle Deal performed before a total of 10,000 people this past year.

'Forgotten' book presented to CSU's 'Oklahoma Room' By Mark K. Beutler Associate Editor • Imagine walking 10 miles to classes at Central State. Pretty terrifying, huh! But that is just what a student at Central State Normal did back in the early 1900's. This and other such escapades are outlined in a long-forgotten book titled "The Spirit of '89," which was written by former Central State Normal student Elbert S. Stoner and published by Old North Books. According to Stoner's daughter, Mrs. Jennabell Varbel, only two copies of the book are still known to exist, one of which Varbel donated to the Oklahoma Collection Room of the CSU Library. The other, Varbel says, is her own personal copy. According to the coordinator of the Oklahoma Room, "Spirit" is a definite asset to the Library's collection. "Since it is what we at the library call a 'primary source,' it will be a very valuable tool, and of significant value to researchers," said Mrs. Mary Bond. "This book is very well done, and it even has the original dust jacket with the author's photograph, which most of these old books do not have," Bond said. Although Stoner died in 1983, he left behind a legacy of accomplishments that include president of the Alumni Foundation at CSU. Born in 1895, Stoner grew up in Cashion. According to Varbel, walking was a major means of transportation in those days. "In 1911, he (Stoner) was ready for high school. Because of drought and no crops, there wasn't any transportation available, so he walked four and one-half miles morning and evening to attend high school. He paid $1.50 a month tuition, also," Varbel added.
"In 1913, he graduated from Cashion High, which was just a two year high school," she said. After graduation, Stoner entered Central State. It was during those first few months of college life that on one occasion he had to walk 10 miles to school, Varbel said. "My grandfather would take daddy to Seward by wagon and horses so that he could catch the train. There was one particular time when he just missed the train. So he followed the railroad
Theresa Gabrish and Mark Beutler were awarded scholarships of $500 each by the Oklahoma City Gridiron Foundation. Gabrish is pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Photo Arts Journalism, and a Master's degree in Journalism Education. She was graduated from Moore High School in 1982, where she was in the top 10 percent of her class. At CSU, she has been active in
the Society of Professional Journalists, Sigma Delta Chi, and is a former vice president and president of the club. In May, Gabrish was initiated to Kappa Tau Alpha, a journalism honor society. She has worked for Photographic Services on campus, and is currently employed as a staff photographer for the Norman Transcript. In 1984, she received a $1,000 Gridiron scholarship. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Gabrish of Moore, and has a brother, Will, and a sister, Becky. Beutler is a senior, and has a double major in Oral Communications Broadcasting and in Newspaper Journalism. He was graduated from Cashion High School in 1981, where he was in the top 10 percent of his class. Beutler has worked as a disc jockey at CSU's KBLZ. He has been a member of the Residence Hall Association, and is an active member of Sigma Delta Chi. He has served as treasurer of the club, and in May was elected president for 1985-86.

track for 10 miles until he got to Edmond. "As soon as he arrived he went to his first class, which was gym class. He told the story to the teacher and she told him that he had received enough exercise for the day and that he could remain seated." Due to a lack of funds, Stoner left Central State in 1916. According to Varbel, he worked on his father's farm during that year, raising wheat and corn so that he could save money to continue his
education, which he did the following year. "In 1917, daddy and his two oldest sisters entered what was then called Central State Normal in Edmond. At this time commuting was out of the question, and there were no dormitories. So they rented a house at 501 East Campbell for $5 a month, where they did light housekeeping. My grandparents furnished plenty of canned fruits and vegetables for dad and my two aunts," she said. Stoner was graduated from Central State in 1927, and received his teaching certificate and a Bachelor of Science degree. He taught in Okarche, Loyal, Harrah and the Cashion school systems, and retired from teaching in 1954. He also served as mayor of Cashion for 37 years, Varbel said. He became Alumni president of Central State in 1966. He was also a member of the "Thousand Dollar Club," and was one of CSU's "Former Distinguished Students." Old North Books, a University Press organization, was formed in the late '60's. According to Varbel, "Spirit" was the first book printed by the organization. "In 1969, Old North Books published their first, 'The Spirit of '89'. The book begins with the run of '89, but is primarily the story of the struggles of the pioneers as they built their homes, plowed the soil, and built schools and churches. It also tells about people who courted and were married, and who, through courage, built a community (Cashion)," Varbel said. "It also tells of baseball games, county fairs, spelling bees, and ice cream socials; of killing coyotes, digging wells, and listening in on the party line." "The Spirit of '89" has been catalogued by the Library, and is available in the Oklahoma Collection Room.

Professor to display works In Canterbury Art Festival By Mark Beutler Associate Editor Some 160 artists from throughout the Southwest will be exhibiting their work at the 17th annual Canterbury Art Festival this weekend at Hafer Park in Edmond. Central State University Associate Professor of Art Dean Hyde will participate in the Festival this year. "I have 50 new paintings that I will have for sale," Hyde said. "The paintings are of wildlife, mostly owls," he added. Hyde says he will not enter any competition in the Festival this year, but hopes to sell some paintings, anyway. "I am entering the show to sell, not to enter competition. My paintings, which are acrylic, will be on sale at prices ranging from $5 to $30," he said. Record crowds are expected to attend the juried show, complete with daily entertainment, home-baked concessions, refreshments and t-shirt sales. St. Mary's Episcopal Church yearly sponsors the event, Edmond's second largest. Hours of the festival at Hafer Park, at ninth and Bryant, are Saturday, 10 a.m. until 8 p.m., and Sunday, from noon until 6 p.m.
University awarded grant by Kirkpatrick Foundation By Linda Jones The Kirkpatrick Foundation has awarded CSU a $1,500 grant to facilitate a cooperative program between the university and Daewon Foreign Language School in Seoul, Korea. The funds will be used to promote cultural and educational exchanges between CSU and Daewon, said Dr. Dale Mullins, Dean of the College of Education.
Mark Beutler
"Dr. Howard Hackworth, a speech therapist who specializes in articulation problems, and April Haulmon, a member of our staff who specializes in bi-lingual education, will be going to Seoul next week to conduct workshops
in teaching English as a foreign language," said Mullins. "They will be working with students and teachers in what would be equivalent to our grades 9-12," said Mullins. Won Hee Lee, founder and director of the Seoul school, was a recent visitor to CSU as a part of the ongoing cultural exchange program between the two schools. John E. Kirkpatrick, the Honorary Consul for Korea in Oklahoma City, said in awarding the grant he hoped it will encourage others to support the project. A group of 20-30 Korean students will be visiting CSU in Augut, added Mullins.

Softballers named All-American Two Central State University softball players have been named to the NAIA first team AllAmerican list while another was lauded as academic All-American. The battery of pitcher Gladys Griffin and catcher Rhonda Lawson, which teamed for most of the Lady Bronchos' 28 wins this season, were named first team All-Americans at the NAIA national tournament in Indiana last month. Second baseman Mary Martin was named to the 15 member Academic All-America team. Griffin, a freshman from Bethany, was instrumental in leading CSU to its highest national ranking in the history of the schoo. She pitched in 31 games for the Lady Bronchos and finished with a 23-8 season while boasting an earned run average of .39. The CSU pitching ace faced 841 batters during the season while striking out 244 and allowing just 12 earned runs. She tossed four no-hitters, three one-hitters, three two-hitters and 12 four-hitters this season. Griffin also batted fifth in the Lady Broncho line-up and compiled a .272 batting average. She also fielded her position well, only committing two errors during the season for a .969 fielding average. "For Gladys to have won as a freshman is a super accomplishment her," said CSU softball coach Gerry Pinkston. "We look forward to having her around for three more years."

ed one the of the outstanding juniors in journalism at CSU. Martin led the team with 18 stolen bases out of 19 attempts, in runs scored with 27 and in walks with 21. She finished the season with a .264 batting average and started in all 42 games for the Lady Bronchos this season. "It gives me great pride when a player can excel in both the classroom and on the field," said Pinkston. "Mary came back from a roken jaw suffered in a game late last season to have a super yer. It's not easy to dedicate yourself to playing a varsity sport and still keep up with your school work. Not only has she done that, but she has been in honors classes the last couple of years."

Lawson, a senior from Edmond, was the team captain for the Lady Bronchos and a fouryear starter. Lawson caught in 40 games for CSU and also played one game at first base. Lawson was credited with 304 put outs this season and in the 40 games as catcher had only nine passed balls. She had a perfect fielding and throwing percentage of .1,000.

Gladys Griffin
In 280 innings of catching, Lawson allowed just 24 stolen bases. She also compiled a .267 batting average while hitting second in the CSU line-up. "I've never coached any player who has worked harder and been more dedicated than Rhonda Lawson," said Pinkston. "It is a fitting end to her career." Martin, a junior from Shawnee, has been a three-year starter for
the Lady Bronchos at second base. Martin has maintained a 3.77 grade point average in the honors program at CSU and has been listed on the dean's and president's honor rolls. To be named to the academic all-american list an athlete must have at least a 3.5 grade point average. Martin is majoring in journalism and minoring in marketing and was recently nam-
All three players were also selected to the All-District 9 team with teammates Carla Hobbs, who played shortstop for the Lady Bronchos, and Dee Gerlach, utility infielder. "These young ladies have represented the university very well," said Pinkston. "I'm really proud for all three young ladies." CSU finished the season with a 28-14 record and were ranked second in the final NAIA national rankings. The Lady Bronchos lost to Northeastern Oklahoma State University, 1-0, in the finals of the District 9 tournament to end their season. The Lady Bronchos return their entire roster next season with the exception of Lawson and left fielder Jeanice Kennedy.
Northwestern ousts CSU
Central State University's George Hauser delivers a pitch during a recent game. Hauser took the loss in the first game of the Bronchos' playoff series with Northwestern. Northwestern won the best of the three series, two games to one to advance in the playoffs.
Northwestern Oklahoma State University scored an upset over Central State University in the opening series of the District 9 baseball playoffs last month, as the Rangers eliminated the Bronchos in a best of three-game series at the Broncho Field. Surprising Northwestern took the first game of the series, 4-3, as CSU failed to capitalize on a scoring opportunity in the bottom of the ninth inning. The Bronchos had runners on second and third with only one out in that last frame, but couldn't plate the tying run. CSU rebounded strongly in the second game of the three-game set to even the series at one game apiece.

In the final game, Northwestern second baseman Danny Parker was the hero for the Rangers. Parker, playing with an injured shoulder, hit a two-run homer in the third inning and completed an unassisted double play in the seventh which killed a CSU rally. Barker's heroics overshadowed Broncho designated hitter Wade Causey's three home run performance in the final game. Six of CSU's 10 runs in the game were driven in by Causey's three round-
trippers. Greg Peterson also homered for the Bronchos. The Bronchos ended the season with a 27-16 overall record. The `85 team set school records for most home runs by a club with 67 and most stolen bases with 113. The .345 team batting average was one of the highest in Broncho baseball. history. Tulsa junior third baseman David King and Elk City catcher Jerry Holley, a senior, finished the season with 11 home runs each and a share of the CSU record for most home runs in a season. Yukon's Bob Bailey held the old mark of nine, set in 1983. With this year's appearance, CSU has advanced to the District 9 playoffs four consecutive years and won 20 or more games in five of the last six years.

CSU faces rugged schedule Bronchos begin year with NAIA champs By Ed Godfrey Associate Editor Central State University will face one of the toughest schedules in the history of the school next fall as the Bronchos play six NCAA division II schools and the defending NAIA national co-champion. And to make it even tougher, the Bronchos will play most of those teams on the road as CSU has just three home games scheduled for the fall and will not play in Wantland Stadium until five games into the season on Oct. 5. The Bronchos open their nine-game schedule with two-time defending national champion Carson-Newman on Sept. 7 in Morristown, Tenn. CSU also plays NCAA Division II playoff participant Northwest Missouri State, in-state rivals Cameron and Langston and all but one of the powerful Lone Star Conference teams located in Texas. "I've been here for a few years and this is no doubt the most challenging schedule we have had," said CSU head football coach Gary Howard. CSU accepted an invitation to compete against Carson-Newman in its Sept. 7 opener as part of the second annual Tennessee Sports Festival. The game will be co-sponsored by the Morristown Chamber of Commerce and Carson-Newman College, which is located in Jefferson City, Tenn., 15 miles southwest of Morristown. Carson-Newman won the NAIA title in 1983 and tied Central Arkansas, 19-19, in the national championship game last year. CSU won the NAIA title in 1982. "We've never played them before," said Howard. "It will be challenging opening up with them. That game should create a lot of
interest." After the season opener, the Bronchos will be on the road for games Central State University head football coach Gary Howard gets his troops ready for the Bronchos' tough fall schedule. CSU has only three home games next season and will meet six NCAA Division ll schools plus the NAIA defending national champions.

against Northwest Missouri, Abilene Christian, Texas, and Howard Payne, Texas, before returning home for an Oct. 5 homecoming date against Angelo State, Texas. CSU will travel to East Texas State on Oct. 12 and return home for a game against Texas A&1 on Oct. 19. A game at Cameron University on Nov. 2 will be sandwiched between a pair of open dates and the Bronchos will close out the season by hosting Langston on Nov. 16. Northwest Missouri, Texas A&I and East Texas State accounted for CSU's three defeats last season and Howard predicts Abilene Christian and Angelo State to be better than those three teams. "Traditionally they (Angelo and Abilene) have been stronger," he said. That gives CSU only three home games next fall, but CSU athletic director Charlie Murdock said that was not by choice. "At the beginning of the spring we had five home games scheduled," said Murdock. "Since then Southern Colorado dropped their football program and another school (Northeastern Oklahoma State University) has informed us they do not plan to honor their contract with us and we're left with only three games." Northeastern decided to join the rest of the Oklahoma Intercollegiate Conference schools in refusing to play CSU in varsity sports. The OIC places scholarship limitations on its member schools and CSU, an independent with no conference affiliation, does not. Scholarship limitations are not imposed by the NAIA on schools as the NCAA does with its members.

by Skeldon, who was the eighth seed. "There were 210 entries in the tournament and, by reaching the fourth round, there were only 32 players left," said CSU tennis coach Frances Baxter. "This was an outstanding accomplishment for Kevin." The CSU women's squad won
the District 9 championship which earned the entire team a berth in the NAIA national tournament. The Lady Bronchos scored seven points in the tournament which placed them in the top 20. In singles, CSU's Terry Roque and Pam Gilbert each advanced to the third round before being defeated. Susan Schultz won her opening round match but was ousted in the second round along with Wendy Foster while Kathy Mathis and Connie Long was defeated in the first round. In doubles, the duo of Gilbert and Roque won thier first two matches in straight sets before being eliminated in the third round. CSU's other two doubles squads had to forfeit opening round matches due to injuries. Roque, the No. 1 player of the Lady Bronchos, was named to the NAIA Academic All-American team. Roque, a business major, had a 3.42 grade point average during her college career. She graduated in the spring.
