When it Comes to Parking,

Students Lack Common Sense, Money and Time Bob Autobee Reporter

Common sense, money, and time. These are three things that Auraria students who park off-campus don't have a lot of.

In the rush that hits most driving students when it's five minutes to class and there isn't a parking space to be found, some of these unfortunates will try to slip past the bounds of the law and park in an off-campus area close to their class.

And that's when the trouble begins. In the last couple of months, most

off-campus lots have been havens for thieves breaking into cars. It's a prob­lem that Auraria police can't handle, according to the administration officer for Auraria Public Service, Lolly Ferguson.

"The areas where there have been a number of off-campus break-ins into cars is out of the jurisdiction of Auraria Public Safety and is a matter for the

Denver police," Ferguson said. Ferguson offered some advice as to

where not to park. "The places that we have heard

about having the most break-ins are two areas," Ferguson said. "One is right underneath the viaduct and along the railroad tracks where Curtis turns into Colfax."

Ferguson said most of the break-ins are labeled under the law as criminal mischief and mostly occur during the ~ytime.

"A typical off-campus break-in isn't a planned thing," Ferguson said. "It happens when somebody leaves their doors unlocked or leaves something that appears to be of value in the front or back seat of their cars."

According to Sgt. Bill Widerspan of the auto theft bureau of the Denver

ON CAMPUS Yeager Leaves Metro

Director for Disabled Moves to City Position Pam Price Reporter

Auraria lost a good friend last week. Friday was Patricia Yeager's last day

as manager of the Office of Disabled Student Services. She leaves to join the Pena administration as the director of Denver's Commission on the Disabled.

Those who knew Yeager are sorry to see her go. She has been a strong advo­cate for Auraria's disabled students since 1980, responsible for such accomp­lishments as acquiring software for student computer labs that allow com­puters to talk, and servicing over 180 students between Metro and UCD.

Yeager hopes her new job will keep her active at Auraria.

"I hope to be involved with the campus. That's the fun thing about this new job-I can be involved in all sorts of areas for the disabled," said Yeager.

"I will be working with city depart­ments in looking at policies that affect the disabled. In some ways, the jobs are the same in that it's an advocacy position and a leadership position­the same thing I've done here. But

AIDS virus. Loren held Wendy in her arms and

made a promise to help her. "When I got home I realized I had

tears all over my arm," Loren said. "I was afraid to be with her. I knew nothing about AIDS except it is a kil­ling disease."

Loren said she and her husband dis­cussed what they should do.

Although she felt a stong commit­ment to Wendy, she said, she didn't feel comfortable with many aspects of dealing with an AIDS victim.

"I can still feel the resentment in Wendy's voice when I told her I was afraid to be with her,'' Loren said.

Realizing many of her fears were from not knowing about the disease, Loren began calling local agencies for information. She found out that people who frequently deal with AIDS vie-

what's different is that I will switch from working one-on-one to working with the groups."

At Auraria, Yeager has proved that she is competent on both counts.

"I think my biggest accomplishment has been getting people to . work together to make the campus program­matically accessible, and I'm not talk­ing about physically accessible; I mean by people working together to say, "Yes, deaf people can be in sciences," and "Yes, blind people can be in com­puters."

Yeager commends the faculty for helping to make Auraria one of the most accessib'~ campuses in Colorado for disabled students.

Off campus, Yeager's dedication to the disabled is also apparent. As a leader for the Consortium of Handi­capped Student Programs, Yeager ·helped write and lobby legiSlation leading to a $12.5,000 infusion into the state's Division bf Academic Rehabili­tation. "The funds are to access educa­tion for students all over Colorado, and I think it will open up education," said Yeager.

tims don't have current information. Wendy had consulted her private

physician who had told her she tested positive and would die in two years.

Loren found that the test the doctor had given was less accurate than a newer test and quickly tried to tell Wendy of the news.

But she couldn't find her. "I really thought she had killed her­

self," Loren said. "She had talked about moving away and I knew she wasn't going to move away. She was going to commit suicide."

Loren found Wendy, though, and she later tested negative with the more accurate test.

"How many people have committed suicide because they don't have that information?" Loren asked. "It's frightening. It's very, very fright­ening." D

. Patricia Yeager

Excited and anxious for her new position, Yeager would like to see the Commission on the Disabled become more visible, more responsible to the community ..

"I think some city deparbnents aren't real sensitive to the needs of the dis­abled and why should they be if they're

. not used to it? It's more a lack of

knowledge than anything else." Of course, Yeager will miss Auraria. "The staff of Auraria has been like

family," Yeager said. "Physically, I'll just be up the street, but I don't think I'll ever be completely separated from ·the campus."

Yeager begins her new position March2. D

Team Chosen to Debate Irish Deanna Allen Reporter

Three MSC students have picked up the gauntlet and will challenge a team of Irish debaters on Wednesday, April 2.

The MSC team and the three winners of the Irish Times Newspaper National Debate Competition will debate the motion: This house supports govern­mental control of the media in the reporting of terrorist activities.

The MSC will argue the affirmative. Earning their places in the competi­

tion are:

Joy Goldbaum, 26, who is obtaining degrees in history and English, plans to be a high school teacher after gradua­tion. She works part-time in the MSC

Business Office and has been a specta­tor at five previous Irish debates.

Christopher Dahle, 24, is student body president and a history major with a literature minor. After gradua­tion, he plans to attend law school. Although he had never been involved in college debate, Dahle has seen the Irish debaters in action previously.

Daniella Lopez, 23, is an economics major with a speech minor. An Optim­ist Oratory contest regional winner in 1980, Lopez is a member of the Golden Key Honor Society and t\le Student Senate. She tutors students in econom­ics and calculus for the School of Busi­ness and also plans to .ittend law school after graduation.

The April 2 debate, at the Auraria Student Center, is one of eight stops on the 1986 Irish Debate Series Tour. D

ON CAMPUS AHEC Foundation Gives Faculty Club $15,000

Eugenia Berger, Faculty Club president

Regina Langton Reporter

The Auraria Foundation presented $15,000 on Thursday to the Faculty Club.

The Faculty Club, 1041 Ninth St., was created to provide a gathering

place for Auraria faculty, staff and administration, giving them a common meeting ground.

The Foundation grant will help pay for the $26,000 worth of remodeling that was done .at 1041 Ninth St., pre­viously the residence of MSC Public Relations.

A $5,000 donation was also made by the University of Colorado Foundation.

Additional funds were raised for the project through membership fees. A fee of $25 was charged to the 180 charter members of the club. Future members will be charged $50 to join. A monthly fee of $10 is charged to all members.

Three individuals have purchased lifetime memberships for $1,000 and three seven-year memberships have been sold for $500.

The Faculty Club opened for coffee and tea: on Jan. 13, and food service began on Feb. 19.

The club's menu is prepared and catered by Professional Food Manage­ment, the catering company for the Auraria Student Center.

A continental breakfast is served from 8-11 a.m. A hot lunch can be purchased from 11 a.m.-1:30 p.m., with cold salads and sandwiches

methods classes, theoretical how-to classes."

Pepper, a Henry Morgan look- and sound-alike (without the bow tie), was as critical of education teachers as he was of their programs.

"The greatest deficiency in higher education is in the development of the arts, skills and craft of teaching," he said. "The best people to teach teach­ing are classroom teachers who do it every day, not someone who hasn't set foot in a real classroom in 25 years."

Questioners from the audience set a confrontational tone immediately.

Vince Orlando, MSC education pro­fessor, was the first questioner. He said Pepper's comments about the "arts, skills and craft" of teaching were dia­metrically opposed to the CCHE's proposal to reduce the number of edu­cation classes required and challenged Pepper to explain the inconsistency.

Orlando's question, and Pepper's answer, were typical of all the exchanges.

"I stand on my statement," Pepper said. "We need to change the technol­ogy, to get rid of those who teach 'methods."'

He did say "Metro does better than other schools in the state."

Pepper and Wilson never budged from their positions. The questioners might have done better to pick up on Pepper's comment about Metro doing better. They could have taken a cue from Lee's quote of Disraeli, and used their time to demonstrate the excel­lence of Metro's program.

They didn't; only Charles Branch, dean of MSC's School of Educational, Professional & Technological Studies, made an effort to take a positive approach - but he was the last person at the audience microphone before the session ended.

"You make blanket recommenda­tions," he said to Wilson. "You don't look at individual schools and what they do. MSC has already done much of what we hear recommended by the CCHE and the legislature."

The questioners had a golden chance to demonstrate that MSC' s education program is the excellence lying before the CCHE and the legislature - but they didn't. They had a golden chance to influence some influential people -but they didn't.

The panel discussion was a confron­tation, full of passion but woefully empty of persuasion.

It was a wretched waste, indeed. D

and tenant's rights as two of the group's priorities.

"We're actually getting somewhere," added Meyer, naming the Colorado superfund legislation and the Colorado lemon law (which provides recourse to auto buyers who get a lemon) as two of CoPIRG's victories.

Meyer and Canny didn't feel that the failed attempt to establish CoPIRG at Metro in 1983 should discourage them now.

"There were a number of factors that worked against us then," Meyer said. "The campaign lasted two short months before some of the key students who were involved graduated. And House Bill 1510 had been introduced, and a lot of energy was going into fighting that."

The bill, which would have prevented any student organization that collected

Nancy Jarrell Reporter

The Colorado Public Interest Research Group has launched a petition drive Feb. 19 asking students to make CoPIRG an official MSC organization and fund its activities through an optional student fee of $3 a semester.

This will be CoPIRC's second at­tempt to establish a chapter on the

Auraria campus. The first try was in the spring semester of 1983, said John Meyer, campus organizer for the group.

The organization is a student-based consumer group similar to Common Cause, Meyer said.

"But unlike other consumer groups, we (students) are able to set our own agendas," said Paul Canny, a third year speech and communications and broad­cast major.

Canny named environmental issues

Meyer and Canny are optimistic about getting the supp.Ort of MSC students this time around even though many of Metro's students have limited time to give to organizations.

"I recently attended a conference of western state colleges' CoPIRGs, and they had quite a few chapters started in commuter colleges," Canny said.

"There's a higher level of awareness and concern about the kinds of issues that we're dealing with at a commuter college," Meyer said. "Nobody can accuse the people of Metro of hiding in an ivory tower." D

Break-ins/From pag"e 1

there have been three break-ins in locations that could be called off­Auraria campus areas," Widerspan said. "Two between 9th, 12th, and Wazee, and under the 15th Street viaduct near the Terminal Annex."

Parking near Thirsty's on Friday night should be avoided at all costs, Widerspan said.

"On a Friday night, there will be 10 to 12 cars broken into. We realize that there aren't very many students at school on a Friday night, but it's best to stay out of that area on a Friday if you are going to spend a good part of the day there," Widerspan said. ·

Ferguson said that January was a busy month for on-campus break-ins.

"In January we had three reports of cars being broken into," Ferguson said. "The first was criminal trespassing in lot K, and there were two counts of criminal mischief in lot T. The three cars broken into in one month in a on­campus lot is very high, especially in January. We think that was because January was so wann."

Whether you park off campus or on campus, Ferguson offers some well­wom but useful advice for those who drive to school.

"Watch and lock your cars, because they are fertile shopping areas for thieves." D

OPINION Child Molestation is Domestic Terrorism

There is an argument these days against showing kindness to children one doesn't know. This "judicious neglect" is meant to be a responsible adult's response to a domestic terrorism, which is child molestation.

Most agree that only good can come from a child's being showered with affection and love, but these affections must now come exclusively from adults with whom the child is familiar. Otherwise the innocent and mostly trusting brain of a child will learn the wrong lesson from kindness offered by adults the child doesn't know.

The child will learn to trust strangers. To accomodate the mind of a child, the formula is

made elementary: A bad stranger somewhere means stangers are bad everywhere. ·

Later historians will determine the effects and damage caused by this formula, by this social selectivity.

The effect on children: perhaps like growing up inner-city. The development of a resiliency to concrete: a growth of hardness, one without identity of wild­flower meadow avd dragonfly expanse.

The effect on responsible adults is likely to be more serious, an open season of

apathy about butterflies. If this were the extent of the problem, then the

wounds cut when older humans systematically ignore stepping younger ones would heal into acceptable social scars.

That is, ignoring children makes everyone more callous but keeps the youngsters safe.

On Of course the reality bolds a more insidious truth. Many children are damaged by non-strangers: the

• 11 closet crossed-eyed uncle who likes to fiddle about, Mom's caterp1 ars boyfriend who likes to knock about, parents who are simply too bloody stupid to raise children.

Let's skip the rhetoric describing children as a valua-Bob Haas ble resource. (So were the American Indians, so is fresh

air.) Rather, let's see the problem as terrorism.

The healthy, happy development of our children is held hostage because of our inability to ensure their security.

What condition a society which cannot openly celebrate its children? Small loss, perhaps? Necessary trade-off, maybe. Certainly, a barren field of fewer butterflies. D

MSC Government Report ~-- ----:---_-______________ - - -

As chairman of Club Affairs Committee (C.A.C.), I would like to inform the students of the services provided by this committee.

The C.A.C. is a subcommittee of the Associated Student Senate. The C.A.C. is comprised of five elected and appointed M.S.C. sl'Udent senators. The meetings are held on alternate Wednesdays opposite the student Senate. The responsibili­ties of the C.A.C. include the appropriation of $21,000 budgeted this year for MSC clubs and organizations. Currently there are over 75 recognized clubs on campus, all of which can utilize the assistance of C.A.C.

The main purpose of the C.A.C. is to contribute to the betterment of the student population and to help clubs become self-sufficient.

Clubs seeking funding must be officially recognized MSC Student Activities. The criteria that C.A.C. bases its funding on is the extent of each clubs activities that further academic, social, cultural, and physical welfare of the students of Metropolitan State College, as well as the extent of each clubs prior fund raising.

The funding request must be typed and completed in detail (i.e. break down I

of costs, description of activity, and all required signatures). When presenting the funding request to C.A.C., a knowledgeable representative must be present to field questions that C .A.C. members might ask.

To reiterate, C.A.C.'s main purpose is to assist clubs any way possible. Please realize when you're at a C.A.C. meeting, our intention is-not to grill .you or make you nervous, it is just to find out all we can on your club, your activity, and why you need funding. It's just the same as if you were applying for a loan at a bank.

If any club is interested in applying for funds, they can pick up a funding request, as well as a copy of C.A.C. Bylaws in the MSC Student Government office Room 340 of the Student Center, or call 556-3253 and ask for any of the following people:

Nicholas J. Trujillo - chairman C.A.C. Tracy Pharis - co-chair C.A.C. Alan Chimento - member C.A.C. Debbie Olenski - member C.A.C. Gina Houx - member C.A.C.

Sincerely, Nicholas J. Trujillo

Longenecker' s prose Assa i I ed ~~~~~~~~Ch~ainn~an~, C~lub~A--ffiar-s-Co-mrm-·tt ... ee

To The Editor: It is marvelous that we live in a free country where anyone with the inclination

may lift a pen. Anyone who submits their work for publication is open to criticism and I refuse to make an exception for the author of last week's student government report.

Holly Longenecker's unique prose is at best, difficult to decipher. I will, however, in my admittedly pompous and arrogant manner, attempt to give you a translation.

Ms. Longenecker contends that students are complaining about the leadership on our campus. She says that students should petition the state legislature for redre$S since they have no voice on the board of trustees or on the Colorado Commission on Higher Education (CCHE).

The truth is that students elect a representative to the board of trustees every spring (she is Christy Avery) and the governor appoints a student advisor to the CCHE (his name is Cary Filsinger, a C.U. student). If you have a problem you may write to them, or to any of the trustees, or any of the CCHE commissioners, or your senator or state representative. Believe me, they love to hear from students, especially those who have consulted The Elements of Style by William Strunk Jr. and E.B. White.

Ms. Longenecker also referred to "Each April in the last two weeks ... "In case you were worried that you missed spring break altogether, I assure you that there have been no Aprils in the past few weeks. There is, however, an election in the third week of April, the tentative dates are April 16-18. The positions available are president, vice-president, student trustee, and 25 senate seats. I suggest you either follow Ms. Longenecker's advice and "vote to see your college ran the way you'd like to see it ran," or vote for responsible, informed, and literate representation.

Grammatically yours, Christopher Dahle ASMSC President

Professor Pla1j

Davlct I. Colson MetroStyle Co-Editor

F rancis Sprout has been an art professqr at MSC since 1976. He received his MF A

in 1972 from the University of California at San Diego.

As an artist and as an art instructor Sprout approaches his discipline with enthusiasm and with a well defined philosophy.

Sprout defines art as a social expression as an individual reflection that is part of an historical continuum.

And, considering the diversity of those individ­ual reflections, Sprout' s philosophy drives toward an ?verall synthesis of expression, of culture, of society.

He is not arguing for an homogenization; he is arguing for embracing the juxtaposition between different expressions and cultural traditions in the same History.

As an art historian, Sprout takes this philosophy to the classroom: .

"Teaching .. .is a vehicle for getting the informa­tion out," Sprout says. "We have a poly-cultural society, yet we deal with only one aspect-we deal with European influence.

"There is an historical omission or eclipse of other cultures, other ethnic groups.

"~ f~el that it's my position to fill in those gaps, to fill m that void."

Sprout's role as a teacher is not some­thing he wants to "down play," but he

admits that his own studio work is most important. Sprout approaches the canvas with the same

philosopical intent that he brings to the classroom . Most of Sprout' s work is done with acrylic paint

on large canvas panels . An example of his work hangs in his office. The

title of the piece is "The Mask is Off," (1983 acrylic 6'x7').

In "The Mask is Off" the colors are cool but feel warm.

The textures of this painting parallel his philo­sophical position. Areas of the painting are smooth, as if they were applied with a roller; and other areas of the painting consist of expressionist brush strokes. The different textures working together perceptually reinforce his literal and symbolic juxtaposition of different ethnic symbols within the same canvas, "within the same history."

Two major symbols are the apparition of an Afro-American caricature and an African mask and the unravelling appearance of a European figure.

These figures suggest the emergence of ethnic Africa out of a jungle of omission while the threads of European influence loosen.

Around the two figurative symbols are smaller symbols, such as, the Christian fish, the Islamic sign of Allah and an art deco flamingo.

These diverse symbols on the same canvas reit­erate Sprout's philosophical position, the idea that history holds many expressions.

In the background of this work, there is a cross that extends the length of the painting.

Io addition to any Christian connotations, the cross suggests the crossing of cultures through history.

The painting is rich in these kind of intentional, symbolic suggestions.

Referring to this painting Sprout says that he is addressing "the heritage denied and the con­scious effort to reach it in a spiritual sense."

I n his work Sprout is asserting his ethnic identity while at the same time succeeding

in mainstream art. He is in essence broadening the focus of mainstream art, which is still subject to the ethnocentric rut of Western society.

"There is no one in Colorado doing this kind of thing," Sprout says, and he hopes to "start pushing out." ·

"I have grown towards a unity in my personal expression/; Sprout says, "and a unity in the philo­sophical basis for my teaching." CJ

THE WORKS

THUMBNAIL SKETCH

Late again, She slips into class, Feet heavy, The weight of her fat portfolio pulling her down Into a dark swamp.

The professor says: "For those of us who came in late, Today we are sketching our own hands."

She flushes, Magenta cheeks, a poor cartoon of herself.

Her fingers look to her as chewed and frayed as gristle, Her nails, hardly bigger than microchips, Look almost vestigial, Or like tiny bits of paper Glued on by children with red paste.

Around the thumbnail, A solitaire. Set in a cracked ring of dry blood, One moist bead slowly loses its gloss.

Her hand shakes as she looks at it, A lousy model.

The only time this hand is ever steady Is when she falls through the world and into canvas; Peels away the layers of pain like peeling back skin and nail, Bleeding freely into her art.

These are strong and even joyous hands when They hold brushes, pens; chalk. II #l V 11{ I

But she would rather suck down tubes of lead paint Than to frame squarely this violence she does to herself.

From memory, She paints the long, cool hands of her mother.

Although the memory is still sharp, and painful, She smiles as she works. Even through the early rough, She sees the perfect cut of diamond, Stronger work than these mangled hands have ever done before.

SPORTS Second Half Surge ,Prevents Same 01' Story Scott Moore Sports Editor

The MSC men's basketball team is singing a different song.

Buoyed by a strong second half -Coach Bob Hull called it a different game - the men beat Regis College

63-55 last Wednesday to avenge an ear­lier loss to the Ran~ers.

The first half of the game was the same ol' story for the Roadrunners. The team had 17 t~novers and trailed

by five at the half. "It was two seperate halves," Hull

said. "Two different games. We were

Men Hitting With Authority

self destructing as a team (in the first half)."

Metro led 21-20 with 6:28 to go in the opening half but allowed Regis to rally and outscore the Roadrunners 10-4.

"We made a lot of mistakes at crucial times," Assistant Coach Ben Morris said. "We had mental problems and

there just wasn't the concentration.'' MSC collected itself in the locker

room and came out a different ball­team in the second half, Hull said.

The team fought its way back and went ahead when Freddie Burgess hit a spinning off-balanced shot with 14:29 to go to make the score 39-38.

Roadrunners Split Twin Bill With Alumni

The two teams battled back and forth until Steve Crigler hit a layup off of a missed shot to give YISC a four point lead with 55 seconds left. Regis was then forced to foul and Tom Murphy put the game out of reach by hitting six points from the free throw line. Joseph Ross

Metro's baseball team suffered an 11-10 loss Sunday to the MSC alumni in the opening game of a double header, then capitalized on excellent hitting to win the second game 7-1.

The Roadrunners led 8-0 in the fourth inning of the first game when the alumni scored six runs on only one hit. Pitcher Dave Snow walked five bat­ters, and Metro committed two errors to allow runs.

Coach Bill Helman said, "I was not thrilled with the performance. We started out 8-0 and then we sat back."

Junior-college transfer Tom Gricius pitched the fifth inning but gave up five runs.

Metro rallied for two more runs but was able to overcome the two inning barrage by the alumni.

Outfielder Craig Bonato batted in three runs and hit one home run to lead Metro's attack. Lead-off hitter Keith Schulz singled twice and stole two bases.

Helman said his players were very loose, referring to the intensity of the game.

'The only time we got good and tense is when we were trying to save face after having . 11 runs · scored on us," he said.

Three of the 11 runs for the

alumni were batted in by 1981 gradu­ate Gary Romero. Romero, who played professional baseball in Mexico, hit a

single and two doubles. But the Roadrunners wasted little

time in the second game, slapping nine hits in four innings against two excel­lent alumni pitchers.

Alumni Bob Weber had the best year a pitcher ever had at Metro in 1985 and Tim Collins pitches in Read­ing, Pennsylvania for the Philidelphia Phillies farm team, Helman said.

Metro third baseman Doug Mont­gomery hit a first inning home run and Schulz added two singles in the game. Bonato's power-hitting earned a dou­ble and a triple.

The game ended after five innings. Metro pitchers Handy Malden, Ty Rol­lins and John Wilkinson allowed only three hits. D

Hull credited his backcourt tandem of Murphy and Crigler as the most instrumental ingredient in the win. Each player scored 16 points and Murphy added five assists.

"Kevin (Trujillo) struggled a little bit so we brought in Steve Crigler. He excels at one-on-one opportunities," Hull said. "And Tom, he played his normal game." -

Hull also noted the efforts of Rich Grosz and Ambrose Slaughter and the job they did underneath the basket. He said Grosz - 12 points - and Slaugh­ter - seven points - are peaking at just the right time and their confidence is showing on the court. o

Battle Sets Record, But Misses Finals

Metro track-member Cleo Battle set a school record in the 60-yard high hurdles at the NAIA National Indoor Track and Field Championships in Kansas City last weekend.

His time of 7.64 in the preliminaries set the school record and was the second fastest time of the meet. But Battle struggled in the semifinals and his time of 7.8 wasn't good enough to qualify him for the finals.

None of the seven members of the MSC track team made it to the finals. Battle's eighth place finish was the highest ranking for the Roadrunners.

Coach Mike Albright said he's happy about his team's effort.

"They all worked hard," Albright said. "They each improved as the sea­son progressed."

The track team now readies itself for the outdoor season, which will begin March 22 with a meet in Golden against the Colorado School of Mines.

Ro.adrunners Qualify Six for Nationals . Brad Dunevitz Asst' Sports Editor

The Metro State College swim team qualified six individuals for the NAIA Nationals and placed fifth in the Inter­mountain Swimming League Cham­pionship last weekend.

Coach J oho Bockstahler said lack of depth hurt the team's chances for a higher finish. Metro entered 10 swim­mers and two divers in the champion­ship while other teams had 15-18 participants.

The University of Colorado won the

meet, followed by Denver University, Colorado College and School of Mines.

MSC freshman Joe McAdams won the one- and three-meter diving com­.petition and freshman Nick Fraser­smith finished fourth in the 200-yard freestyle with a school-record time of 1:47.6.

Freshman Sean Wendt placed fourth in the 200-yard and 400-yard individ­ual medley (butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke and freestyle) and fifth in the 200-yard backstroke. Another freshman, Dickie Todd, took fourth place in the 100-yard butterfly and

fifth place in the 200-yard butterfly. "I felt real good about the perfor­

mance of the whole team," Bockstahler said . . "They put in a lot of hard work this year and it really showed."

Junior John Carter and sophomore T.J. Morgan will join McAdams, Fra­sersmith, Wendt and Todd at the NAIA ~ational Swim Meet in Spokane, Wash., on March 6, 7 and 8.

"I think we can compete in the top 10 in the nationals," Bockstahler said. ·"Joe (McAdams) has a real good shot at being national champion in the one­and three-meter diving." D
