No more summers

Sabbatical policy revised By Curtis Killman Editor The Board of Regents of Oklahoma Colleges voted 6-0 Friday to eliminate summer sabbatical leave, to increase the pay for those who take one semester sabbaticals and to broaden the policy to include staff personel. The revisions resulted after regent members questioned requests made during March 1985 for summer sabbaticals. At that time, with budget hikes still up in the air, regents were worried about paying faculty to further their education.

"We're paying these people to take the summer off to get their doctorate degree?" asked regent Dr. John Folks at the March meeting. Folks said he was "against giving monies for achieving a degree at a time when we can't give raises to (other) teachers." Regent and now President Jack Annis requested that a study be made to research and possibly revise the sabbatical leave policy. At Friday's regent meeting, Annis said there was a technicality that needed to be cleared up. "I didn't believe that it (summer sabbaticals) could be given to anyone that wasn't under contract." Annis said. Some faculty, who were on 10 month teaching contracts, were taking summer sabbatical leaves during the two months they were technically not under contract, according to Annis. He added that even though faculty are considered to be under continuing one-year contracts he felt that there still was a "gray area" that had to be cleared up. Thus, the elimination of summer sabbaticals. One semester at full pay

Regent President Jack Annis

Another change in the leave policy was to increase the pay for faculty taking onesemester sabbaticals. Before the revision, full sabbaticals were granted for one or two semesters at a rate of half pay. Now, faculty and staff members can take a one semester sabbatical at full pay. Ten month (two semester) sabbaticals will continue to be funded at half pay. Regent Bowie Ballard asked if the new pay policy would discourage 10 month sabbaticals. "It looks like we're tryng to send them

Sabbatical Leave Revised Policy

Old Policy

• Full Sabbatical available after 6 • Full Sabbatical available after years service 6 years service • 1 semester sabbatical at full pay

• 1 or 2 semester sabbaticals granted at rate of 1/2 salary • 2 semester sabbatical at half pay • Sabbaticals available for Faculty • Sabbaticals for Faculty only and Staff (faculty) for only one semester," Ballard said. "Why go for one year? Are we encouraging only sending them for one semester?" University presidents and other regents said they believed the new policy was an improvement. CSU President Dr. Bill Lillard said he believed the choice of one semester at full pay or two semesters at half pay offered "the better of both worlds." Staff included now

Regents also approved a revision to the sabbatical policy to now include university staff members. Regents said this would allow administrators and some members in the library science field, as well as other staff personel to receive pay while furthering their education. One administrator excluded from the sabbatical policy though is the university president. Regent regulations omit the university president from the definition of "staff."

Regent John deSteiguer said the possibility allowing presidents to take sabbatical leave should be looked into. The Board instructed the six university presidents to review the recommendation. Hailed by Senate president

Faculty Senate President Ray Beasley, in a telephone interview Monday, welcomed the new policy. "I'm pleased with it," said Beasley. The faculty leader said that the move to pay teachers full pay for one semester will be a big help. "More faculty find it very difficult to take a year at half-salary," said Beasley. "They either have to obtain a grant at the institution or work part time. It will make it easier if they're fully funded." Beasley said he had not heard any feedback yet from faculty concerning the loss of summer sabbaticals. "I don't think they (summer sabbaticals) are as big as they used to be," said Beasley.

Student Senate OK's English-lab proposal By Debbie Martin Monday, the Student Senate unanimously showed their support for the establishment of an English-lab program in the college of Liberal Arts. Resolution 85-111 passed by consent to urge that an Englishlab program be established to help students whose inherent language is not English. "Dr. Clif' Warren (dean of Liberal Arts) is already trying to establish such a program," said John Buttry, president of the Senate. CSU President Dr. Bill Lillard

also has pledged his support and said that funding could be found, according to Buttry. In other business, at the Nov. 11 meeting of the Senate, a question arose to whether or not Thomas Schwartz had been officially approved by the Senate body, to hold the office of Supreme Court Justice. There was also a question regarding the qualifications of Schwartz. The continuum committee had charged that Schwartz does not meet the constitutional requirements. The continuum committee had

submitted in the previous meeting, resolution 85-109 calling to overturn the previous approval of Scwartz. An amendment was added Monday, to the resolution stating that this in no way reflected against Schwartz' qualifications or capacity other than constitutionally, to serve as a Supreme Court Justice. Monday, the resolution passed, removing Schwartz from office immediately. In other business, the Senate recognized the need to improve the awareness of the general student body in regards to the actual structure of student government. Resolution 85-110 passed, providing for a means of visual recognition of the student senators to their respective constituents in each college. As a final note, the recently appointed Supreme Court Justice Kathi Bray, rendered an opinion that an amendment be made to the Student Senate Constitution regarding the proportionment of graduate Senate seats. Currently, there are no allotments for graduate students.

Opinion Page Got a gripe? Then become involved

Guest commentary A campus survey about a year ago revealed that students thought their student government was not responsive to their needs. We argue we have taken steps to remedy that problem. Our new constitution provides for representatives from all the colleges at the university. Senators can work for the things that benefit their own colleges and their own organizations as well as the things that benefit university students as a whole. The new Student Senate offers the potential depth necessary to accomplish this type of work. The new constitution also created an executive branch designed to represent the university across the community, state and nation, and to fight for the things the Senate passes on the students' behalf. We can assure students that the Senate is trying to make the university a better place. We are trying to get a child care facility on campus. We are trying to spark the beginning of a college bowl tournament which should spead like wildfire. We are trying to establish academic scholarships, access to faculty evaluations and fairness in regard to the "W" grade. We think these things, among others, are in the best interest of the student, but the bottom line is the investment a student is willing to make, as a student and as a student senator, to further these endeavors. What do you think?

We would venture to say that the student government is the ultimate organization on campus, and it should be. No other organization has the capacity to bring together the diverse interest represented on this campus. No other organization can bring about change and sponsor improvements faster or more effectively than can the Student Senate — and have tangible results to show for the work. Why don't you become a senator? Besides giving students good experience, no matter what their background, and besides looking good on a resume, it is an organization where one can work with the administration and community to make this a better university. Further, Oklahoma is looking to its universities as a source of economic salvation. We need some "movers and shakers" to get things going. Students can start while they are in school with the Student Senate. Minimum requirements are: 2.0 GPA, Mondays free from 12:40 p.m. to approximately 1:40 p.m., one office hour a week at the student's leisure and 50 percent attendence at student activities.

Student raps U.S. policy

To the editor: Since the majority of CSU students are very ignorant of the present situation . in El Salvador I would like to update these students on what is really happening. Over the past two years El Salvador's countryside has been subjected to a full-scale war, including heavy daily bombings. The United States has armed, supplied, organized and directed the Salvadoran military in an attempt to maintain its puppet regime in power. El Salvador now has the largest air force in Central America. The bombing campaign is focused on one-third of El Salvador's territory. The area is controlled by the Farabudno Marti National Liberation Front. The aim of the air war is to make life dangerous in areas where the workers and peasants support the FMLN. The air force drops an average of 129 bombs a month, according to U.S. figures. Not content with regular 500 and 750 pound bombs, they are fitted with nose rods to convert them to "anti-personnel" devices: incendiary bombs. Israel supplies the white phosphorus, which burns spontaneously when it comes in contact with air and

explodes in water. The bombing is indiscriminate, with the hope that those left alive will be forced to flee. Over 2,000 civilians have died in these air raids since 1984. While the major U.S. new media says little about it, the bombing is responsible for many of El Salvador's refugees — 5,000 inside the country, and 750,000 outside its borders. El Salvador is a country of 5 million. Here in the U.S. the U.S. government has infiltrated churches in an effort to indict priest, ministers, nuns and religious workers for the "crime" of giving sanctuary to political refugees from El Salvador. Hoping to keep quiet what is really happening in El Salvador. I'm closing with a last excerpt of an interview with Rebecca Guevara who lives in one of the zones controlled by the FMLN, and targeted by the bombings. Question: Is there a message you would like to give to the people of the United States? Answer: We think it's unjust for sons of U.S. women to be giving their lives in El Salvador for a cause that is

not theirs. I believe that I am ready to give my life in the process of liberating my people, but it's my people and I know why I'm here. I believe our cause is just. But they don't even know whether their cause is just and they are laying down their lives. Once again students need to raise their voices. No draft. No war, U.S. out of El Salvador! Out NOW! Rick Garcia Student Senator

Professor defends colleague's motives To the editor: As an exponent of Clif' Warren's Creative Studies program and of John Bishop's talent and his superb play, "Jedediah Kohler," I must protest Lynne Murphy's questioning of Dr. Homer Coker's motives (Vista Oct. 31). Dr. Coker is an honorable person known for expressing his true thoughts. To insinuate that he has ulterior motives seems both inaccurate and unfair. John George political science professor

World, state and local NEWS Texas grade rule tried

A rule that prevents failing high school students from participating in sports and band will be challenged this week in a Texas district court. The no-pass, no-play rule prohibits students who fail any course during a six-week grading period from participating in extracurricular activities for the next six weeks. Earlier this year State District Judge Marsha Anthony found the rule unconstitutional, but that ruling was overturned by the state Supreme Court. Opponents of the rule are seeking a review of that case by the U.S. Supreme Court The latest suit argues that the rule should be thrown out because it discriminates against students by race and by handicap, Anthony Sheppard, an attorney for the plaintiffs, said. The first challenge of the rule came last spring at the end of high school baseball season, during the playoffs, when attorneys tried to get failing students back on teams. The issue was reopened this fall, when high school football players and band members were effected by the rule. According to a survey by the Texas High School Coaches Association, the rule has already benched about 15 percent of the varsity football players statewide, and junior varsity and freshman teams were hit twice as hard. Sheppard said the latest suit is not really a "philosophical battle" of whether athletics is more important than academics, but is actually just a tactical attack on the way state officials tried the rule. Assistant Attorney General Kevin O'Hanlon predicted that regardless of what happens in Anthony's court, the matter would go to the Supreme Court.

Strip search brings suit The mothers of two Seminole third-graders, after claiming their daughters were the victims of an unconstitutional strip-search at school, filed a lawsuit yesterday in U.S. District Court. The incident reportedly occured on Feb. 1, of this year. Attorneys from the American Civil Liberties Union announced the intentions of the lawsuit Sunday at a press conference in Oklahoma City. Defendants named in the suit are Betty Smith, principal at Wilson Elementary School in Seminole, the school district, and Audie Woodward, the district's superintendent of schools. The suit states that Smith ordered the girls to "go into stalls in the girls' restroom and remove all of their clothes, except their panties," in order for Smith to search for a dollar bill, supposedly taken from another student. The action states that the dollar bill was later found in a classroom, but not on the person of either of the girls. The girls mothers, Rose Marie Morrison and Kathy Southern, said they were not notified of the incident until six days later, the day before a story on the alleged stripsearch was to appear in a Seminole paper. ACLU president Mandy Welch said the mothers filed a claim last June for an unspecified amount against the district which was denied. The school board also failed to take action against the principal, Welch said. Woodard said he could not comment on the impending suit until he receives a copy of it and until he can talk to the school district's attorney.

Prof receives bomb A University of Michigan professor, Friday, received a package in the mail which contained a bomb, authorities said. Upon attempting to open the package, the instructors research assistant, Nicklaus Suino, received arm and stomach injuries, Washtenaw County Sheriff's dispatcher Sandra Watley said Sunday. The package was delivered to the home of psychology professor James McConnell, Watley said.

Rappeling tries cadet mettle By Italia Carson Scaling new heights and rappelling a few familiar ones, ROTC cadets and cadre traveled to the Wichita Mountains, Nov. 9, for their biannual mountaineering and rappelling trip. For the third year in a row cadets have participated in this confidence-building field training exercise in hopes of preparing themselves for the required sixweek summer camp. The trip, which is conducted under the close supervision of cadre, serves a dual purpose of building confidence in the cadets' rappelling skills as well as building confidence in themselves to perform well in other high-risk tasks. "This training not only builds confidence in the cadets' rappelling, but it also builds confidence in themselves," stated Capt. Walter Wilson, Jr., assistant professor of Military Science. "It'll help them when they go to camp," Wilson continued, "because it will give them confidence to perform well in tense situations and to attempt some of the high-risk training so valuable to military personnel." The two-day adventure took the cadets and cadre to Camp Doris, located in the Wichita Mountains, where they set up their one-night camp site. Rising before dawn, the troopers quickly established their first rappel site near Osage Lake. "The first site was a short rappel from about a 30-foot wall approximately 90 degrees," said Master Sgt. Ed Hogue, mountaineering and rappelling instructor. "It served to give people the sensation of the height and to get them comfortable with the proper rappelling techniques," Hogue explaned. An 80-foot cliff served as their second conquest. The contour of the cliff's overhanging rocks enabled the person to use all of the bounding techniques which increased confidence in the individual's belay, Hogue continued.

Hogue said the trip was a success because it "shows the cadets that the Army is not just classroom work but that there is a lot of practical application." "It's exciting training," he continued. "Some of it could even be classified as dangerous." With 12 years of rappelling experience under his belt, ROTC cadet John Greenmyer said he enjoyed the trip.

"It was a refresher course for me," Greenmyer stated. "I enjoy going because I always have fun on these things." Following the rappelling the cadets continued their training by building a one-rope bridge over a pond and crossing it using the monkey hang or the commando crawl, two techniques employed when traversing this sort of bridge. "The purpose of this bridge is to get across without drowning," stated Wilson. "And it's important," he continued, "because cadets will be required to perform this successfully at camp." In addition to the mountaineering trip, the department of military science also conducts a biannual survival field training exercise for advanced course cadets as well as any student enrolled in the two basic military science courses.

Halley's Comet A 'once-in-a-lifetime' visitor By Michael Mobly Associate Editor Star gazers throughout the world are breaking out their long-range viewing equipment in preparation for the once-in-a-lifetime event of our solar system's most popular visitor — Halley's comet. The comet's orbit brings it within view of the Earth once every 75 or 76 years, said Dr. Verdine Trout, professor of physics at Central State University. "The last sighting in 1910 came so close to Earth, our planet actually passed through the comet's tail," Trout said. "Unfortunately it probably will not come that close this time." Trout commented that the incident of our planet passing through the gaseous tail of the comet greatly boosted the sale of gas masks. "However, the masks were quite unnecessary," he added. Trout said comets are made up of particles similar to ice and dust, and is surrounded by various gases, such as ammonia, methane, carbon dioxide and others. "Sort of a snowball effect," he said. As the comet nears the Sun the gases vaporize and stream away creating the comet's tail, made of fluorescent plasma, Trout said. As more gas is released, the tail will become longer. "The comet's tail will become brighter, and therefore more visible, as it moves closer to the Sun," he said. Evidence shows the first sighting of Halley's (pronounced to rhyme with "alley") comet to have been around 239 B.C., Trout said. Such as in 2nd century B.C. Chinese tomb drawings, Roman coins showing Julius Ceaser with a comet above his head or the Bayeaux tapestry depicting the comet overseeing the Norman invasion of England in 1066. The comet received it's name from the 18th century English astronomer, Sir Edmund Halley, a contemporary of Sir Isaac Newton. "Halley was the first to calculate the regularity of the comet's visits," Trout said. Halley predicted the comet would be sighted next in 1758, as indeed it was by a farmer in Germany on Christmas day. "Unfortunately, he died before the return of the

comet he had predicted, but he was still recognized for his accomplishments." In Halley's day superstitions carried the thought that comets were sent by God to fuel the Sun. By 1910, although superstitions could still be found, comet watching had become quite fashionable. Even to the point where one composer wrote a song dedicated to the comet, "The Halley Comet Rag." On it's latest trip the comet reached it's farthest distance from the Sun and started back toward Earth around 1948, Trout said. Halley's comet, which spans about three miles in diameter, can already be seen by persons on Earth if viewed through a telescope, but will not be visible to the naked eye until December of this year, Trout said. People may have trouble trying the spot the comet in highly lit areas, he said. Trout said the comet will be visible to the naked eye twice for people in the Southern United States. "The first viewing will begin about an hour after sunset on Dec. 23," he said. "Look about 30 degrees west of south at 40 degrees altitude." The comet will disappear below the horizon on Jan. 20, Trout said, but will reappear Feb. 24. "Look one and one half hours before sunrise about 30 degrees south of east at 12 degrees altitude," he said. Trout said the best viewing from the United States will be between March 26, and April 5, one and a half hours before sunrise, from a very dark spot with an unobstructive horizon. "Binoculars will greatly aid viewing at any time," he said. The comet will disappear from naked eye viewing around April 15, and will not return until the year 2061, Trout said. "Astronomers believe comets to be fossils of the Oort Cloud," Trout said. The Oort Cloud is thought to be a halo of cosmic debris, that may be all that's left of the cloud of gas and dust, from which astronomers believe our solar system evolved. "By observing comets we may be able to discover more of the secrets concerning the history of our solar system," Trout said.

Why wait? Make your own comet now By Mark Beutler Associate Editor Make your own version of Halley's comet in the privacy of your own home! That's right, the comet that appears once every 75 years can be yours for the incredible price of a few simple ingredients. Be the first one on your block to construct your own miniature version of Halley's comet! The ingredients for a comet are not difficult to find, and watching it being constructed can be a dramatic and effective way to entertain family and friends. First, you will need dry ice (about five pounds or so). Most ice companies in large cities will have dry ice for sale. Next, cut open a mediumsized garbage bag and use it to line a large plastic mixing bowl. Next step: put two cups of water in the bowl. Add two spoonfuls of sand and stir well. Then add a dash of ammonia and a dash of corn syrup, and stir until it is well mixed. Place three garbage bags inside each other, and put the dry ice inside (be sure to wear gloves while handling the ice to avoid burns). Crush the ice with a hammer. Add the crushed dry ice to the rest of the ingredients in the mixing bowl and stir vigorously. Continue to stir until the mixture is almost totally frozen. Then lift the comet out of the bowl using the plastic liner and shape it as if it were a snowball. Freeze the comet until it holds it's shape, then unwrap. Now the fun part! Watch the comet as it begins to sublimate (turn from a solid to a gas, which is actually what a comet does as it nears the sun). After several hours, the comet will become a crater-filled ice ball as it subliminates further. So if you just can't wait until the December appearance of Halley's comet, make your own right now!

for of the new pageant and former director of the Miss CSU pageant. "The combined benefits from the two pageants include a full CSU scholarship worth $2,600, a wardrobe allowance worth $1,000, apparel donations from Edmond merchants and $2,000 in cash scholarships donated by the Edmond Elks Lodge," said Foster. "The directors of the two pageants felt that by merging, we could give more scholarship money not just to the winner, but to the runners-up as well," Foster added. "A second goal in combining the pageants is to create a spirit of cooperation between the university and the community," Foster said. In addition to Mrs. Foster, associate directors will be Pam Bryan and Glo Bagby, former directors of the Miss Edmond Pageant. The newly combined pageant will be open to all CSU students, all legal residents of Edmond and students at Edmond Memorial High School who are at least 17 years of age. Applications are now being accepted for the preliminary judging which will be held Ded. 9. The finals will be Jan. 25 in the newly renovated Mitchell Hall. Applications for the pageant may be picked up in the CSU Public Relations office, Cornmunications Building, room 104; from Mrs. Foster in the Counseling and Testing office, Administration Building, room 210, or from the Edmond Chamber of Commerce, 108 S. Littler.

Playoff-bound Bronchos suffocate Langston, 44-3 Central State University erupted with two late touchdowns in the first half to break open a close game as the Bronchos vaulted themselves into the NAIA playoffs with a 44-3 thrashing of Langston Saturday at Wantland Stadium. The win should ensure a spot for the third-ranked Bronchos in the NAIA playoffs as CSU finished the regular season at 7-1-1. The playoffs begin Dec. 7 and the Bronchos could be ranked No. 1 entering post-season play as both teams ranked ahead of CSU lost Saturday. No. 1 Mesa, Colo., was upset by Cameron University, 7-6, and second-ranked Central Arkansas was defeated by Henderson State, Ark., 27-19. "As far as possibly being No. 1 in this next poll, it doesn't make a whole lot of difference," said CSU head coach Gary Howard. "If you are No. 1 entering the playoffs, your opponent might be able to use it some, but as long as you are in the top eight and you reach the playoffs, that's all that matters. It doesn't really matter to me, but I think our team deserves the No. 1 ranking as much as anybody." It will mark the third year in the last four that CSU has advanced to post-season play and the fourth in Howard's eight years as the Broncho head coach. Official invitations to the NAIA playoffs cannot be extended until next Sunday. Langston finished the season at 2-6 but had knocked Southwestern Oklahoma out of the playoffs the previous week with a 30-14 upset victory. The Bronchos were not about to let that happen to them Saturday. CSU rolled up 354 yards of total offense against the Lions on the muddy Wantland Stadium field. Quarterback Glynn Walker completed six of 12 passes for 111 yards and running back Eddie Goodlow led the rushing parade with 118 yards on 20 carries. Goodlow, who rushed for 1,067 yards last year, finished the regular season just eight yards shy of another 1,000-yard season. John Sterling added 89 yards rushing for CSU, 33 yards coming on CSU's first touchdown of the game.

CSU dumped Langston, 44-3, Saturday and is looking to move up to the top spot in the NAIA poll this week as both teams ranked ahead of the Bronchos lost Saturday. CSU finished the regular season at 7-1-1 and now await the playoffs which begin Dec. 7.

Lanston led 3-0 early in the first period on a 26-yard field goal by London Slusher. After Sterl-

ing's touchdown run, Mark Monroe booted a 34-yard field goal for a 10-3 Broncho lead. It stayed that way until CSU scored on its final two possessions of the first half. Walker scored on a 10-yard touchdown run then the Clinton sophomore connected with tight end Clifford Burney on an 18-yard scoring strike for a comfortable 24-3 halftime advantage for CSU. The Bronchos then made it a rout in the third period with three quick touchdowns. CSU cornerback Lester Baldwin recovered a Langston fumble at the Lion 7-yard line to set up the Bronchos first touchdown of the period, a 1-yard dive by Goodlow. Walker found split end David Carter for a 47-yard scoring strike to cap off an 80-yard, four play drive for CSU's next score. Goodlow and Walker then combined for a 38-yard, three play drive with the quarterback scoring from the 10-yard line for the final touchdown of the day. Langston could generate little offense against the CSU defense, despite the fact that the Bronchos committed five turnovers in the game. The Lions had just 138 yards of total offense and only 84 yards rushing on 40 attempts. The Broncho defense also forced four Langston turnovers, including two interceptions. Linebacker Egean Collins led the Bronchos with 11 tackles. CSU reserves played much of the fourth quarter. "The win over Langston was a good victory for us," Howard said. "It was a great way to end up our season. I think we did a good job of getting mentally prepared to play a team that was on a roll. They had won their last two ball games and we knew they would be excited about playing us. "We did a good job of taking advantage of our opportunities, particularly in the third quarter. The defense did its job of creating them for the offense and the offense took advantage of the chances. "From a coaching standpoint, you don't ever get 100 percent satisfied or feel that you can't improve, or you will get yourself in trouble. But basically, I think we've made good progress throughout the year and I think we're where we need to be entering the playoffs."

Begay places 7th at national meet

Oklahoma Christian nips cagers, 58-57 It was a tough season opener for the Broncho cagers Thursday night. Central State University fell to cross-town rival Oklahoma Christian College, 58-57, after leading the Eagles 34-26 at halftime. "We had them down most of the game and really beat them in some important areas," said CSU head coach Buddy Armstrong. "We outrebounded them, I think we played better defense and we had less turnovers. When you win those areas you usually win games." The Lady Bronchos dropped a 66-38 decision to OCC in the first game, for their third loss of the season in as many outings. The Bronchos could have beaten OCC, which was rated second in the pre-season District 9 polls behind Southeastern, if they could have converted from the free throw line. CSU hit just 7-of-15 free throws while OCC connected on 22-of-30 attempts. "They (free throws) almost always decide the close games," Armstrong said. "We hit 47 percent, which is terrible." Chuck Kersgieter paced CSU with 15 points while freshman Bowie Gibson added 13. Phil Giachino hit double figures with 11 points. Rodney Fergason scored 14 points for the Eagles and Bradley added 12.

"We played well. OCC is a toujh place to play," Armstrong said. "It's as tough as any place in the league to play. (OCC lost just one home game last season.) "The way we played at OCC, the team shows a lot of promise. I really think we are a better team than last year, but our schedule is a lot tougher." In the women's game, the Lady Eagles jumped out to a 30-18 halftime lead and were never threatened. Gwen Coyle led the Lady Bronchos with 11 points while Melanie Jones added 10. Pam Kelly scored a game-high 21 points for OCC. Both the Bronchos and Lady Bronchos are in action tonight at Chickasha against the University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma. The women's contest begins at 5:45 p.m. while the men's game tips-off at 7:45 p.m. "They probably have the prize recruit in District 9 in a 6-11 center (Herb Blunt) out of New York City," Armstrong said. "He's going to be the second best center in the league, next to (Dennis) Rodman (of Southeastern.)" After tonight's game with USAO, the Bronchos travel to Fort Hays, Kan., to compete in a tournament Friday and Saturday. The Lady Bronchos travel to Wichita Falls, Texas, Friday night to play Midwestern.

CSU's other participant in the meet, Rodney Buss, placed 137th with a time of 28:17. There were 355 runners competing in the championships. The top 25 finishers receive All-American honors. Parent said Begay was 55th in the race after the first 11/2 miles, 22nd at the 21/2 mile mark. "With three-quarters of a mile to go Begay had worked himself up to 10th place and then over the last 200 yards he passed three other people," Parent said. "Conditions like they were, I thought our two kids ran exceptional times." Adams State won the team championship while Oklahoma Christian College, which edged CSU for the District 9 team title, placed 25th. Begay, a transfer from Haskell Junior College in Kansas, was the District 9 individual champion and won three other meets this year for CSU.
