Grapplers nab national title By Ed Godfrey Sports Editor Central State University is the kingpin of NAIA wrestling for the second consecutive year as the underdog Bronchos shocked the rest of the field in winning the NAIA National Wrestling Tournament in Jamestown, N.D., over the weekend. The Bronchos placed six of seven wrestlers in the finals and 142-pounder Ricky Bollenbach, the only senior on the club, won CSU's only individual title by pinning Dennis Lucero of New Mex-

ico Highlands in 2:48 of the championship match. CSU was expected to be a contender for the team championship entering the three day tourney but no one anticipated the Bronchos dominating the field as they did. CSU had the team title locked up after the semi-final round by advancing six wrestlers into the finals. The Bronchos finished with 124.25 points, easily outdistancing second place Southern Colorado which totaled 80.5 points. Northern State of South Dakota

placed third with 77.5 points and Simon-Fraser of Canada - ranked No. 1 going into the tournament finished fourth with 62.25 points. "I felt good about our chances, but I didn't expect to win this big," said CSU head coach David James. "Last year it was really nice to win but this year is a little special to me because these guys didn't have the credentials of other teams we have had in the past. It is special to see kids like that move up into the elite." Despite the lopsided team score, it could have been worse as

five CSU wrestlers lost in the championship finals. CSU's Billy Reid dropped a 6-4 decision to Dave Harvey of Northern State at 118-pounds and the Bronchos' 134-pounder, Joe Starzenski, was beaten 13-7 by Brian Nelson of Carson-Newman, Tenn. Kevin Freeman lost a national title at 150-pounds when his match with Rick Willits of Adams State, Colo., was deadlocked 4-4 at the end of regulation but Willits had a five-second edge in riding time. CSU's Jack O'Connor couldn't

defend his crown at 158-pounds as he was defeated by Paul Syvrud of host Jamestown, 7-4, in the championship bout. Howard Seay coma pleted CSU's list of runner-ups by placing second at 167-pounds, losing 12-8 to Steve Tekander of Southern Oregon. The Bronchos only other wrestler to make the trip, 177-pounder Johnny Deaton, placed third in the meet. "We lost five matches in the finals and we could have very easily won those things," said James.

posal to change the method of withdrawing from classes highlighting both meetings. The proposal, authored by the Academic Affairs Committee,

recommends that the last day to withdraw from a class be changed from the last class day of a semester to 5 p.m., Friday, of the tenth week for the Fall and Spring semesters. The Summer session would remain under the current policy. The change was first mentioned by Dr. James Perry, vice president for academic affairs, at the January Faculty Senate meeting after a survey found 84 percent of 216 faculty members polled favored moving the withdrawal deadline from its current date up to the midterm period. Perry addressed the Student Senate Monday, explaning the proposal and asking for input

from the Senate on the policy for withdrawal. The reason for moving the withdrawal deadline up, according to Perry, was to make the students realize their "procrastination in coming to grips with decisions" that need to be made. Student Senator Steve Bailey asked Perry what guarantees the students would have, if the "W" grade was moved up, to insure that the faculty would provide the students with ample information to make a decision by the withdrawal deadline. Perry responded by saying that if the deadline was moved up that some sort of examination or method of evaluating students

performance could be implemented and made mandatory of faculty. Perry assured the senators that if the date was moved up, the faculty would be reminded of their responsibility. "If we did move the date for getting the "W" forward," Perry said, "you could rest assure that I would to the best of my ability strongly recommend to all faculty that they have a moral obligation as well as a professional obligation to give the student an opportunity so that they will know how they are standing in a class, whenever the drop date comes." Perry said though the students
