Sonny admonishes faculty:

wake up and contribute by Eric Thorson

Sonny Holland , the Assistant Campaign Director for Referendum 75, expressed d isappointment in the amount of f inancial con­tribut ions generated by the faculty and support staff in a letter yesterday .

Hol land said " faculty and support people must un­derstand the Referendum 75 comm ittee has a big job to do in the state of Montana, and this costs money. If the people most visible to the publ ic, i n the university system , do not carry the ball , we cannot expect anyone else to support the referendum ."

Holland also praised " those in the minority who have contributed to date. "

He noted there is a com-

mittee for both the faculty and staff which will answer any questions those people might have concerning the levy campaign .

These committees en­courage questions, and have add itional letters for payroll deduction forms , which must be returned to the Alumni office by Friday .

"There is a possibility that the faculty and support groups do not understand what Referendum 75 is or the signif icance of a lack of support by university people right here on this campus, " he continued. " Our support , or lack of it , is very obvious to our local community , other member institutions, and the State of Montana.

Depts squabble over health center space

Center. When the building was added on to in 1971 , the future growth of the student body was taken into account , so there is an (unoccupied) room at the back of the st ructure that is currently bei ng used to store equip­ment.

There are two different proposals relating to future use of this room.

According to Dean Harold Rose', Dean of the College of Arts and Architecture , the Film and T.V. Department would like to convert the room to a photography studio. He says this would be for temporary usage only , for

two incidents ...

Flasher works SUB lounge Two women have reponed

separate incidents involving a male exhibitionist at MSU this quarter. Both incidents occurred in the Student Union Building 's Leigh Lounge. The first incident occured earlier in the quarter and involved two MSU women . The second incident occurred last Friday afternoon. There was one female witness .

According to the witness ,

the man appeared to be con:ipletely unash_amed as he exposed himself. She thought the person was simply reading a book, when she

' noticed he was acting ab­normally.

The man was described as being tall and lean with wire frame glasses . Because the incidents have taken place at the east end of Leigh Lounge,

the person or persons in­volved have acquired the title "The Leigh Lounge Lecher" according to a third source.

The Exponent contacted both the Bozeman Police Department and MSU Security , but both offices denied that any complaints had been filed, and added that they had no information that such activities had taken place.

After student balloting, questions linger at UM

(KNS) Calling last Wednesday's ASUM election disorganized and absurd , University of Montana students have been calling for recounts , new elections or new voter tallies.

Garth Jacobson and Jeff Gray won the ASUM election defeating the Students for Justice (SFJ) candidates , Tom Jacobsen and Steve Carey . Lary Achenbach defeated Larry Palmer, also on the SFJ ticket , for the business manager position.

Although the SFJ party did not win a sing le on-campus seat , they managed to win 11 of the 12 off-campus seats .

The number of votes cast for president and vice president came to 2,028, but this total does not include write- in votes . The write-in votes were not counted ex­cept for the Married Student Housing seat which had no candidate.

Among the requests · received by the ASUM election committee are :

• a request for a new election of Central Board members by Martha Dille, a Students for Justice can­didate for an off-campus seat, whose name was accidentally left off the ballot. The mistake was discovered about 10 a.m . and new ballots were at the tables by 11 a.m.

• a request for a recount of the on-campus ballots by Jon Jacobson, an unsuccessful Students of Justice can­didate who was only eight votes behind Larry Vicars, the elected candidate who received the least number of votes . According to ASUM by laws , any candidate can demand a recount if he is with in 5 percent of the next highest candidate. Jacobson received 302 votes , Vicars received 31 0.

a request from the Students for Justice representative Mike Dahlem for a tally of the number of students who signed a signature sheet while voting , compared to the number of actual ballots cast.

Off-campus candidate Pat Duffy is also eligible to demand a recount.

Dille , the candidate whose name was left off the ballot , said she decided to contest the election for " personal reasons." The decision was not a consensus of the Students for Justice . In fact , she said , most of them did not know that she had decided to contest. "Whether you win or not you want a fair election ," she said .

Diiie was the only off­campus candidate on the Students for Justi ce t icket not elected . She received the least amount of votes of all

Phil's Pharewell My first encounter with Bozeman and its people was

during the early '60s while on a fishing trip. As best as I can recall, 1t was a cloudy, windy and occasionally rainy summer's day and Bozeman looked grey and uninteresting. Mam Street was torn up because the city was putting in some pipes or something. I remember thinking of Bozeman as just another "cowtown."

My second encounter with Bozeman and its people came 12 years later in September 1975. Having not seen Bozeman in such a long time, I was shocked when I saw all the lights of the city and its rural area when driving east on the in­terstate about midnight. Morning brought an even bigger shock, seeing all the people, the traffic and Bozeman's increase in size - which is still a far cry from the same problems of Seattle, my home town.

The first order of business was to try and find an apart­ment for the coming school term. Now, as many of the students can relate, finding an apartment a week before school begins is not that easy. I remember going to several places listed in the paper but ran into problems, such as: no cooking, no visitors after 10 p.m., no parties , no loud music, etc. Then there were a couple of places that looked as if they wouldn't last through the first snow storm. So I took a gamble and went to one of those "rental agencies" for assistance, and in my opinion, got ripped off for $15.

Well, I finally found a place to stay and soon school began. That first quarter was sort of a panic, the second and third quarters not quite as bad and summer quarter was fantastic. For those who have never experienced summer quarter, ii is much more relaxed and easy going .

Nine straight quarters have come and gone and I am looking at only a few days left in the 10ih quarter until I am released from this insitituion of higher learning. During that period of time I have met many people, both st udents and professors as well as merchants, and in my opi nion there Is not a greater group of persons within a select area that I know of. I feel that many of the professors have become good friends and not just cruel inhuman beings handing out seemingly impossible assignments .

Bozeman is a great place to live, although it does have a few problems like increasing crime, street maintenance and rising costs -- but then this is common in most cities . It has fresh air; good water; friendly people; good hunting, fishing, skiing and other outdoor activities; and a beautiful climate. I am going to miss all of this, but I won't forget it and someday I hope to be back to enjoy it again.

Heins' column: third rate To the Editor:

For the past several months I have had the opportunity of nausea caused by none other than some third rate column "Smoking the Special Mix­ture" by Gary L. Heins.

Since it 1s the function of editor, I believe, to censor all garbage that is submitted to your newspaper, I am wondering why the column still 1s in print?

At random, I spoke with 25 students reading the Ex­ponent and asked them what their opinion of Mr. Heins· column was; the results;

12 did not read it 8 read 1t but did not like it 3.5 read 1t and liked it 1.5 no comment If you do not trust my

results and take the necessary action I would suggest passing this letter on t0 Mr Hems and have him

, w· 1te .:;oout 1t. Surely with hi s f;intastic. satirical humor he w11I tie atife to come up wl th

something. Perhaps he should actually smoke the special mixture and I do not mean tobacco.

Finally , I would like to say to Mr. Heins', if he really is a English major, that his sentence "how many of us had not even started the novel yet?" is not correct. God help the students of the future that will be readers and students of his. In regards to March 3 issue.

Good grits make the

Public awareness low To the Editor :

I was glad to see that the Exponent gave front-page coverage to Ted Howard's lecture on genetic engi neering, but I wonder if anyone wou ld have read the article if the headline hadn't referred to sex. I don't mean to knock the headline , I just have a .feeling that most people would have ignored the article otherwise.

Being one of the 60 who attended the lecture , I couldn't help but conclude that a direct relationship exists between the low at­tendance and the public's awareness. I am afraid that the general public, and even the student body , is quite ignorant about genetic engmeering--the name given to a booming technology that allows scientists to alter or even to create new life forms by experimenting with the DNA of genes of plants , animals, and man.

Granted, posters may have scared multitudes away from the lecture by promising to "discuss the DNA furor" -many people have closed minds when it comes to anythi ng scientific. Perhaps they mig ht have been motivated to attend if they'd had their curiousity aroused , as I did , by simply running across the topic in magazine articles.

It is essential, yet difficult to emphasize enough the importance of this branch of science. Howard shocked me when he equated the signifigance of splicing genes to the splitting of the atom. Nuclear technology is cer­tainly making Its impact, but consider the possible con­sequences of th is new biological technology, a

means by which we lowly humans may actuall y change the course of evolu tion !

It is not my purpose to summarize Howard 's lecture, or give you a brief rundown or a topic so broad and con· troversial as man i pulatin £ DNA. The information is avai !able to you, and I strongly encourage everyone to take the time to fi nd out more for yourselves. If you do look into it , not only will you find the scientific aspects intriguing, but you will also discover social , moral, and political issues that demand us all to take a stand.

date the Film and T.V. Department plans to vacate the room .

Cheever feels though that " there is a trust thing involved here. When the addition was built , it was built primarily by student funds and when they voted to have their money used it was with the intent to expand and improve the health services available to the students ." He said " No one consulted us about our future plans in connection with this room. "

Rose' counters this claim by stating that Cheever was aware last year of the possibility to use the room in question for other than storage, since it is well known that there is a criticial shortage of space on the campus.

If the Film and T .V . Department wins their bid for the room , the Student Health Center will have to find another location to store their supplies.

Prior to the new addition of the Student Health Center, supplies and equipment were housed in the boiler room in the basement. Not only is it inconvenient for the per­sonnel , but it is plagued by mice and silvertish , in ad-

dition to being very warm. In a letter to Dr. Cheever,

Erick L. Armstrong , Gallatin County sanitarian , states , "It is my opinion that the use of the basement boiler room area for storage of medical supplies is totally unac­ceptable."

For the boiler room to be used for supplies, some measures would have to be taken to get rid of the silverfish , as they destroy surgical dressings. The problem of temperature control would also have to be rectified .

Another proposed area for storage is in the SUB basement. According to Cheever, it takes a minimum of 15 minutes for a nurse to go to the room and back wheeling an empty cart. If it were laden with supplies the time would increase.

Some concessions are going to have to be made, probably by both parties. Rose' says, " the problem is this: we have an academic program housed in temporary space in the basement of Hannon Hall. " He said "the most important function of the university is to operate an academic program" and with that in mind , there is an

~ EXPONENT

obi igation to the students to fulfill that purpose. He also states "i t is not our intent to jeopardize the health facility ."

Dr. Cheever also feels the obligation to the students . He feels that it is his duty to make the health service of· fered to the students as good as it can possibly be.

Both men have the best interests of the students in mind, and are doing their best to protect those interests, as they perceive those interests. It remains for the Planning and Bui lding Committee to make a fair recommendation to President Tietz who will make the final decision .

Study may change u.·s. coal future

facilities should be located at the source of the power demand, not at mine mouths , in order to put the burden of pollution on those who want the power. Nor should coal­gasification plants be built in isolated locations, according to the report.

By BERT CALDWELL Kaimin News Service

The National Coal Policy Project has completed a study of coal development in the United States that could change significantly the future of coal mining and energy production in Eastern Montana.

The project was an unusual combination of represen­tatives form the coal industry and environmental groups that organized in 1976 to study problems related to the nation's increasing depen­dence on coal for its energy.

Robert Curry, professor of geology at the University of Montana, was a member of the project he discussed its workings and the importance of its cone I usions for Montana during an interview last week.

Curry said the project's report should result in "a rather significant decrease in the rate of investment in mining in the western United States."

A new requirement that sulphur dioxide scrubbers be installed on generating plants is the major deterent for more western mining, Curry said.

Western coal was in demand before the scrubber requirement because its low­su I phur content reduced power plant air pollution to lawful levels without ex­pensive pollution abatement devices. If the scrubbers are required anyway, western coal, because it produces less heat than eastern , wi 11 be less desirable.

The failure to s6-:cessfully reclaim any strip-mined areas in the West was another factor that discouraged the project's industry representatives.

The Mining Task Force, one of five set up within the project, visited coal mines in eastern Montana and northern Wyoming last spring to see reclamation efforts first hand.

Industry members "con­ceded that there is no demonstrated reclamation in the western U.S. ," Curry said, adding "That's the biggest success of the project".

Utilities were also misled about the costs of western coal, accordi ng to Curry. He said statements made during

the " Project Independence" movement under former President Richard Nixon tended to downplay the coal resources in the Ap­palachians and the expense of mining, shipping and reclaiming western deposits.

The threatened suit against Montana's Coal Severance Tax might be one indication of the utilities' disap­pointment with Western coal development, Curry said. Some coal company customers "are finding out they got taken on Montana coal he speculated. "What they would really like is to get out to the contract" because they are not realizing the savings they had anticipated.

Other task forces made recommendations that will contribute to a de-emphasis of western coal.

The air pollution study said future power generating

"The industry sounded off on the idea, and this was surprising to me, that there should be no power generated in Montana," said Curry.

Another task force recommended that generating facilities be located near metropolitan areas to take advantage of cogeneration potential lost when plants are built at the mines.

Cogeneration uses waste heat from power plants to heat nearby homes of fac­tories. Although the practice is not widely used in the United States it is common in Europe.

Approval of coal slurry pipelines was supported by the Transportation Task Force, provided proof could be given that scarce water resources would not be

endangered. Curry said the mining task

force was unable to agree on the importance of the socio­economic impact of strip­mining in rural areas. Industry representatives said that "whatever happened was beneficial ," he noted , and they condemned en­vironmentalists for "playing god" with the lifestyles of farmers and ranchers.

Curry was optimistic about the chances for im­plementation of the project's recommendations despite the fact it has no legal mandate.

"That is going to reduce the scramble for Montana coal drastically," he said.

When mines already begun or being planned are put into production, Curry asserted, the mining activity in the West should level off.

"At most we're looking for a two-fold increase."

Curry warned that Mon­tanans should not base projections for future state revenue on an ever-increasing return from the severance tax.

Environmentalists "came out fantastically ahead" by joining the industrialists in a reasoned exchange of views on coal development , Curry observed. :·1 was impressed with the process ."

Thomas ends term as regent problem in the future for university system will be underfunding.

Thomas described the 19:1 student to faculty ratio mandated by the Montana legislature for the state's univer;;ity system as "a mistake. " He said that the legislature had "misin­terpreted" the original 19 : 1 ratio , which was suggested in the Regents budget request last year.

" It was not the Board's personal goal ," Thomas said.

Thomas said that Com­missioner of Higher Educat ion Larry Pettit " takes the flack for a lot of Board of Regent 's decisions ."

" Pettit is criticized for a lot of things he has no control over, but there are things that he does that he should be criticized for, and for which he's not, " Thomas said .

Thomas said that he felt that feelings of anti-UM bias in Missoula , and corresponding feeling of anti­MSU bias in Bozeman , on the part of the Board of Regents, are unfounded. He charac­terized the Board members as being equitable towa.-d each institution in the state.

Looking at the upcoming program assessment for MSU , Thomas said that he would "expect" to see MSU to suffer some cutbacks . Although he doesn't think the cuts would be any thing near as drastic as those at the , University of Montana, he did say that MSU will probably have to "curtail and change" some programs. He did not specify any particular programs .

Thomas said his replacement , WMC's Laurie Briney, was chosen largely on the basis of a geographical distribution. He said that there is a philosophy of picking the new student regent from a different in­stitution in the state. He also said that his own ap­pointment was largely due to the fact that MSU had never had a student regent. Previous student regents have been from UM , Montana Tech and EMC.

Thomas said that his grades "dropped initially" as student regent, but that they came back up after he entered law school . He said he dealt with a Board matter at least every other day, and that he averaged 40 days a year on the road.

The student regent position is not paid, but expenses are reimbursed.

Thomas. who will finish law school this spring , said he had no definite plans beyond graduation , but that he would like to stay in Montana , to work either for a state agency. or in a private law practice.

movie review

Equus: neurosis -

Shakespeare-style I . '

. by T.C.

For a moment I glimpsed at that sogged up, vodka and orange juice laden brain of Richard Burton and found within a screaming talent­Prometheus-bound and eaten away by sel I-destructive passion.

In " Equus" he touches , with the sweat of his brow against the sweat that streams down the outraged, sterile, impotent and con­vo'l uted character of the psychiatrist, Martin Dysart, the depth of reality.

" Equus," itself. tries oc­cassionally to trade in on an artist whose legend has been built on pretension. It becomes pretentious in turn .

The movie attempts to conjure up modern day Shakespeare on neurosis, complete with soliloquy where characters attempt to rationalize their feelings.

It is about religion, or m"ore, the symbolism that religion represents. It is not the same for all, not the mass communion and not the multiple baptism for all . Some people form their own religions, just as Allan Strang in the unconventional sense, and Dysart in the con­ventional plane do.

Finally, it shows how religion can drive you crazy. Some of this is plausible, some is not, but always the narrative is stark , moving well for so const ricted a story line.

There is Peter Firth as the boy, Allan Strang, the blinder of six champion riqing horses. He is the James Dean of the English set, coming on with rolling head and that utterly vulnerable look in his sweet eyes. You can see right at the first that he is a cer-

tified Crazy. From this premise,

" Equus" tries to build real and unreal worlds. Its question, age old, is that of who is really the sane and who is really the the insane.

The worst assumption here is that Dysart, a man who has worked for years cultivating his own religion of im­potency, could possible be so shaken by a religion which is different from his own.

Here he is, treating people of different religions every day, yet, when a boy comes in pouring forth suppositions on why his worship of horses led him to do violence, Dysart folds like ruffled paper.

The rational man becomes irrational, and the irrational lad takes on a rational slant. No! It doesn ' t tell me anything except that it is a gimmick used to lure the viewer to sit through two hours searching for some deeper philosophy when there is none. It does not answer any questions with action, but with words, and those words are masked when coming from a crazy boy, and also from the mouth of a man who uses disguise as a professional necessity.

Director Sidney Lumet has salvaged much by pacing and styling his movie in a claustrophobic shroud that is inherent in the theme.

From the baroque lighting of Dysart 's office, the camera ventures outside to strangled med>um shots of buildings and concrete, artificial symbols of man's worship to himself.

agonizes and agonizes and agonizes. His features take on no feature at all ; only the roll of the language matters , with that 90-proof tongue of Burton 's which can still sting and terrify .

When Strang takes his white horse-god out on their midnight odyssey, the land is swamped in a murky fog that creates its own wall, and the brilliant shafts of moonlight that splits the trees are like bars through which he rides.

The music is rising , rousing and finally at an uptempo gallop, as this insane boy indulges in his

worship . In scenes like this , one can see the advantages of motion picture over stage.

Peter Shaffer shows in his screenplay how to brilliantly manipulate language to hide for deficiency in motivation. Freud would have revelled in this case, but he would have found deeper meaning than just parental repression and displacement of symbolism.

Sketches of Strang 's parents are flashed onscreen from time to time, but not enough to see how closely they have affected him. Jenny Agutter, as the girl who tries to seduce Strang, is little

more than female bait , leading up to a nude scene in the loft of Strang's temple­stable .

English acting can be so precise, yet boring in its clockwork. Burton and Firth convey that preciseness , along with the naturalism found in so many American methods.

Burton must have caught his second wind, because he shreds his chains to ribbons . He does not cry in the most emotional scenes, yet his voice cries and cracks, giving invisible tears to his weary, world-wise face.

Bubbles from the fish lab by The Madison Menace and The Bighole Demon

When "Wee Willie" (no relation to Uncle Wiiiie) defended his thesis on "The Effects of Heavy Metals on the Distribution and Abun­dance of Aquatic Insects in the Boulder River, Montana," we all proceeded downtown to conduct another study on "The Effects of Heavy Alcohol Consumption on the Neuro­Motor Coordination of Biology Students."

The study was a great success, as evidence by "Wee Willie" passing out before 7:30 p.m. Numerous pitchers later, even the hardcores began to leave and the Woldsville Boys started for home via Safeway for some milk and reduced baked goods. Whip and "The Big Burn" headed for the dairy case while "The Menace" and

I went to see what was cheap in the bakery department. Fortunately , there was a wide selection of day-old-plus items reduced to one-third the regular price.

Staggering toward t he check-out coun ter , we calculated the price of th ree dozen doughnuts and two dozen brownies to $1.65. The price was very reasonable to me, but "The Menace" was sure he could talk the price down even furt her. Reaching the counter , John went into his act.

"Why.are these brownies so expensive? Do you really expect us to pay 33 cents each for these dried out things?"' he yelled at the tired , overworked clerk .

The young lady tried to be polite and informed us that

she did not set the prices. "The Menace" is a pro at

• this sort of situation, getting his education at dickering in such places as the Barter Mart and street hustling back East. In fact, he received his Doctorate of Dicker Degree while haggling in Tijuana, where he conned a sweet senorita into giving him a $200 suede coat for $2.19, throwi ng in a sombrero to boot. Whip doesn 't even do that well at blue light specials .

"Now I've been coming here for four days and these s:;ime brownies have been on the shelf all this time. When are you going to reduce them to a fair price?" he questioned.

" Sir I'm sure those are not the same ones," she replied, trying to maintain her composure.

"The hell tney aren't!" he screamed. "I've been marking them with a pen," he retorted . " Look at the four marks on the back, " he said as he showed the astonished clerk the pen markings on the back of the package.

She apologetically made the transaction and I followed the grinning "Menace" out the door, still not believing we bought all those goods for 75 cents.

Fighting through the crowd of high school kids that hang out in the parking lot, I had to push "the Menace" along.

"Come on," I said, "she's only 14."

" Sixteen at least," he grumbled.

Catwomen end dismal season

The MSU Catwomen basketball team ended the season last week on the road in Oregon , losing two games and winning one.

movie review

I] Semi-tough: laughs never stop I by J. William Degel _

Shake Tiller and Billy Clyde Puckett have done for football what Trapper John and Hawkeye Pierce did for (to?} the military . Dan Jenkins, the author of "Semi-Tough" (both the book and the screen­play} , proves once again that you can really get into the sports scene if you're willing to laugh.

Shake Tiller (Kris Kris­tofferson} and Billy Clyde Puckett (Burt Reynolds} , are the stars for Miami who plan to win the Super Bowl based on their achievement of " IT"

and who just happen to live with the daughter of the owner of the team. Jill Clayburgh , as Barbara Jane Bookman, gives one of the best performances of a flighty young lady ever seen on the screene.

Robert Preston as her father is ... hilarious, as he proves ti me and again. Concerned with morals he cautions his daughter about living with two men ...

''. .. It ain't natural. " " But Daddy, I don't sleep

with them. " "That's what I mean , it ain't

natural! " Then his religious fiber

shows through in the Super Bowl -- "Lord , I know I'm a sinner ... and you're gonna f--­me!"

Shake and Billy Clyde (BC to his friends} get involved with neanderthal "Big Ed" Lambert , whose hobbies are eating glass and holding young ladies over balconies by their legs, and the young Russian place kicker who casually kicks 60-yard field goals bare-foot and fondles girls' mammary appendages

A new medium of exchange.

in church. "Semi-Tough" is chaotic,

frenetic, slightly filthy, but one funny movie. Our heroes are involved with BEAT (Basic Energy Attack Training} and its founder, Frederich Bismarck (Bert Convey) who is convinced people's problems all stem from the fact that "You're all a--holes!"

"Semi-Tough deals with images that will offend some: the minister who feels the most important facet of religion is the tax breaks, the varied -- and biting - attacks on various theories -- pyramid power, Pelting (Rolling) Miobiogenics and other fanatic fitness theories that make better targets for laughter than they do serious topics of conversation.

March 7, 1978

" Semi-Tough " attacks religions , people, sports, bi~ business and pseudo· intellectuals with finesse , innuendo, sight gags ano downright scorn ... it's just too good to miss.

You could spend hours delving into the psychological and physiological meanings of " Semi-Tough ," but don't waste your time. Walk into the theatre expecting to see one of the funniest movies of all time and you'll be rewarded.

The laughs never stop in the range from snicker to belly laugh. The gags never end , the heroes win and everyone is happy. As one sportswriter once said , " A good time was been had by all ."

A "non-traditional" approach to photography is currently being featured in a display at the Fines Arts Gallery in MSU's Haynes Hall.

MSU's Danny Brelsford: King of the mountain

Montana State's Dan Brelsford won the Slalom event at the NCAA national skiing championships, which were held last week at Franconia, N.H.

Brelsford won the slalom event with combined time over two courses of 83.13 seconds. The courses, run over 46 and 48 gates, were hard and icy. This is typical

for East Coast skiing, but the courses proved excellent.

Behind Brelsford, who was named an All-American last year in the NCAA meet , was Bruce Gamble of the University of Colorado with a combined time of 83.50. John Higgins of Utah, who finished second to Brelsford in the Region 7 meet two weeks ago in White Park, Colo., came home third in the NCAA's with a time of 83.63.

weekend in Moscow ...

Other MSU skiers did not fare so well . Bill Battison finished 30th in the slalom and Barry Jaeger finished 51 st. Another Bobcat skier, Bill Irwin , did not finish in the event.

For Brelsford the slalom proved to be a second chance, since he did not finish in the giant slalom which was held on Wed­nesday.

Tracksters set several records by Pat Kearney

The Montana State men's and women 's track team traveled this past weekend to Moscow, Idaho, for Kimmel Athletics' all comers track meet. The meet was held indoors at the Kibbie Dome and was highlighted by a world record.

The wort d record was set by George Kablan originally from Africa but now running for Washington State. Kablan established an indoor world record in the 100-yard dash, flying the distance in 9.2 seconds.

For Montana State the women had a much better meet than their male coun­terparts, setting six school records.

Carla Heintz recorded two school records . Heintz finished third in the 70-yard hurdles with a time of 10.8 seconds . Heintz also set a new mark in the 300-yard hurdles with a time of 46.0 seconds, good enough for

second in the event. Janice Shaver got into the

act of setting a school record in the 300--meter run with a clocking of 40.6 seconds.

Cindy Robertson gave MSU a school record in the 800-meter run when she won the event with a time of 2:17.7.

Cindy Bradley provided a new MSU mark in the grueling three-mile run with a race­winning time of 17:26.7. Judy Smith from MSU finished second followed by teammate Rose McCormick in third place.

The women's relay team, which has been outstanding all winter, set a new mark in the mile relay by running the distance in 4: 00.0

Heintz, besides setting two new MSU marks, won the long 1ump with a leap of 17-6 V2. Another MSU jumper, Pam Heitzman. ·won her specialty, the high jump, going 5-4. Teammate Carolyn Taylor finished second.

The Montana State men did

not get many school records like the women did but they still had some good individual performances.

Dave Scully, a junior from Ennis, soared 15 feet in the pole vault, good enough for third plce in the event. Scully was the only Bobcat trackster to place in the top three in any event. His vault set a new school mark.

The Bobcats' main distance runner, freshman Steve Bishop from Bozeman, set a new personal best time in the one-mile run, with a time of 4: 19.6. Teammate Scott Descheemaker proved to be a pleasant urprise for MSU coach Rob Stark by placing right behind Bishop, with a ti me of 4: 26.

Mike Edens had a good showing, getting fourth place in the discus throw with a heave of 138 feet.

Kent Stephens placed fourth in the 300-yard hur­dles, running it in 39.9 seconds.
