Coalition appeals to higher authority

by John Burgess The Student-Faculty

Coalition mailed a petition to Gov. Tom Judge on Wednesday asking him to request a special session of the Legislature to deal with the University System's lack of funding.

According to Coalition spokesman, Pat Hughes, the petition, which was started at the rally outside Montana Hall on Feb. 8, had nearly 1000 signatures from students, staff and faculty at MSU.

"This is a personal appeal to the governor to call a special session," Hughes said.

Hughes said the Coalition had nothing definite in the works but is now trying to shift its focus to the governor, the Legislature and the Regents.

Hughes echoed union sentiment against the offer for a $500 bonus for all University employees by Regents Chairman Ted James last week.

"Where did they suddenly find the money?" Hughes said. "Any offer like that should have made at the

bargaining table and not as a public announcement."

The James offer would take in all employees and not just those on strike. James said the 13 percent inflation rate was double what the Legislature anticipated when they begeted.

James added, however, "There is no prospect for success if employees continue their strike."

Business managers for the striking unions met Wed­nesday in Helena to plan their strategy for the next couple of weeks.

Hughes said the Coalition would support any activities planned by the striking laborers which may include pickets in Helena later next week.

At the administration end, the Strike line has been discontinued "because of decline in use."

According to the recording at the strike center number, Mike Kaelke can be reached to answer questions con­cerning the strike at 994-2711 and for after hours main­tainenece problems call Campus Security at 994-2121.

Baucus speaks on Montana issues

by Michael Johnson "I think Montana has made

terrific strides in the last ten years." So said Senator Max Baucus, D-Montana, as he spoke to a lot of empty seats in Willson School Auditorium last Friday night when only 30 people showed up to listen at the Town Meeting.

Elaborating, Baucus said Montana controls its own destiny. He pointed out the passage of the new con­stitution in 1972; Montana has "set up an energy trust fund" (severance tax;) and passed a utility siting act.

But we "have to be vigilant" so the gains of the last decade are not lost in the 'B<l's. Baucus said Montana must not lose it share of the federal budget to other, more populated states with more voice, and with the energy situation, the eyes of the nation have turned to Montana and other mineral-rich western states.

Commenting about an Energy Mobilization Board

(EMB), Baucus believes it would be detrimental to Montana and allow people in the eastern U.S. to control the destiny of energy development in Montana. Even with Senator Melcher's (D-Montana) amendment that would allow a state to not allow energy development

projects, Baucus doesn't want an EMB because states would have to play by EMB rules and President Carter has made no commitment for western representation on the Board.

Baucus believes the popularly called "sagebrush rebellion", in which some western states seek to assume ownership of the federal land within their boundaries, stems largely from federal employees and bureaucrats ruling by distant control and not being sen­sitive to local peoples' wishes.

He thinks the federal government can be more sensitive to local needs and desires.

He mentioned the Title ill educational program which is designed to help smalll colleges, and five Montana colleges participate, but none were getting any funds. Baucus reported the awar­ding agency as showing favoritism for certain schools and more than 60 percent of the budget goes for ad­ministrative costs. He has taken steps to correct the situation.

There is a "tremendous future" for the Milwaukee Road because there are more coal mines, management wants to work, and markets have been developed for grain.

Baucus said a big problem with government is it only thinks in the short-term, trying to giver instant­gratification that the con­stituents demand.

So that the U.S. is more prepared for an emergency, Baucus supports draft registration for men and women, but he does not think the world situation is at the point where a draft is needed.

Upcoming EiC events

The Bozeman En-vironmental Informational Center has a couple of up­coming events that will surely evoke interest from those already involved with the center as well as from those who aren't.

On Tuesday, February 26, a film special "Spirit on Wings" - deemed "a wildlife classic", will show at 7:30 p.m. in the Jefferson Room of the SUB.

For those more into (or also into) music, a benefit at the Union Hall in downtown Bozeman, will be Sunday, March 2nd. The benefit will feature Crazy Mountain Boys, Chuck Wilder, Greg Keeler, Steve Aaberg, Norm Mar­shall, and more. This benefit will cost those attending a mere $2.50 per person or $4.50 per family and all proceeds will go to the Montana Environmental Informational Center.

Schwinden refered to the likelihood of Judge's an­nouncing his run for a third term. Schwinden went on to say the message in Judges speech appeared to be that Government works in Montana. About that Schwinden said "Yeah, government works, but it doesn't work that well." He added, "We can do more in the way of management."

Ministries Well, it's been the Winter

Olympic Games the past 10 days or so, and all you hear is "going for the gold"! With gold at between $600 and $700 an ounce you can un­derstand that cry going up, but that's not it, of course. The gold being talked about is ihe Olympic gold medal as if that were all the Olympics were about. At the time of this writing Ingemar Sten­mark. the great Swedish slalom champion, has just won the gold medal on his second run in a marvelous comeback from 3rd place in the giant slalom. He told reporters how disappointed he would have been if he had gotten only a sliver or a bronze. "I could have wound up second behind

·Wenzel'', he said. "That wouldn't have been bad, but I would have been very disappointed because the gold is all that really matters". To which I say: NONSENSE!!!!

Is anyone going to tell me that that's all the Olympics are about: THE gold medal? The Olympics should be a time of creative plan and competition in which young people of many nations cross their usual boundareis in a beautiful festival of goodwill and friendly competition. To say that one should despise a sliver or a bronze medal because they do not represent first place is really a travesty in my estimation. These are Olympic medals, man! The time differential between the skiers and skaters is usually measured in fractions of a second. This makes one competitior that much better than another? Not in my book. In a close race there things are measured by where a skier might happen to be in his or her stride at the finish. Look at it this way. It's a great privilege even to have been selected for the various national teams. It's a real special class of people, after all, and the event itseU will always be burned into the participants' memories. So what if you don't get the gold?

As of this writing Eric Heiden has garnered three golds and is looking toward two more. Or should I say the media is looking forward to

two more. That's all they can talk about-gold, gold, gold. If Heiden should happen to show that he's a mere mortal and get "only" a silver or a bronze, or if a muscle should tighten and he has to quit without any medal, can you imagine the collective cry of disappointment which owuld go up throughout the land? Wbat a shame. Eric only has three golds! Three golds?!/ What does the public want? Three golds is a marvelous achievement. Wbo else could attain this: to be the best in the world at three specific events. Who could ask for more?

Many people in the Bozeman area are vitally interested in the Nordic events in the Olympics-­things like cross-country skiing and the Biathlon. But American has not traditionally done well in these events, and so just try to find them on ABC-TV's evening summary of the day's activities. They are only there in passing if at all. Usually the announcer doesn't even tell the results, let alone show us any racing footage. Instead we get two hours of ice dancing. I plan to complain bitterly in a letter after the Olympics are over as if my protest will do any good.

But why are the Nordic events bypassed this way? Because, I think, the USA is not traditionally very com­petitive in these events, and . America likes to watch winners, not losers!

In the Nordic combined (ski jimping and cross­country racing) the ABC-TV coverage was marvelous on Tuesday because on that day in the jumping port.ion, an American, Walter Malmquist, had finished second. Do you think ABC would keep track of him on the second day to see how he finished? Not on your life. You see, Walter is a much better jumper than a racer, and his final position was 12th, not second. And you don't get a medal for 12th, right? In fact all you get is the joy of competition. He's a loser, man. ABC-TV doesn't concentrate its efforts on

losers, only winners. So we watch Walter on Tuesday when he's winning and forget about him on Wednesday when he's losing. It's the American way. At least that's what the media thinks ..

Don't get me wrong. I like the Olympic ideal. Just try to find it, though! It disappears in the real world.

Game room overthrow There's been a minor

bloodless revolution down at the game room. For years the game room has been managed by the same folk that manage the rest of the SUB: Al Bertleson and Paul Fruin.

Last month the gameroom's management changed hands. Bill Asbury and Mike McCarthy are the new managers. Both of them are students.

Bill Asbury would prefer the term team management. "Anything important we put to the group as a whole. We don't make the decisions all by ourselves. The employees run the place as much as we do."

Their main goal is to see if they can keep it. The SUB management gave it to them for a couple of quarters on a trial basis. If it works out. they'll try and keep it.

"So we kick ass a little,'' said Asbury. "Keep it looking nice."

Mike McCarthy thought it was "a great opportuinity to get some management ex­perience."

Coming up this quarter is a pinball tournament on the 25th, with sign-ups from February 19-25 and in­tramural bowling, with sign­ups starting on the 25th.

And last but not least, yet another all-nighter to cap the quarter off on the Friday before Finals Week, featuring coffee, punch, hotdogs, and sandwiches.

point some slip up in our system might trigger full scale retaliation? Defense is one thing but looming as an even greater threat is that of Trident Submarine.

We are now breaking these treaties and threatening the entire world with devestation.

dealing with a subject as serious as the strike.

Jan, you are dead wrong. It is "us against them." Any person who views the strike in a different light is either a "puppet" or an unwilling dupe. You neglected to mention that the "passive individual" who "suggested sweeping a floor," also had written on his sign, "BUST THE STRIKE, sweep a floor." This "passive in­dividual" was calling for direct action against the strikers! Any action taken to "help out" while the strike is on directly undermines these workers' bargaining powers. Perhaps you need a refresher course on the politics of American labor. If you're not with the strikers, you're against them.

Another brilliant point you made was that the students are doin work " uite

adequately" which is nor­mally done by those on strike, only the students are doing it at a much lower wage. For Pete's sake, why stop with college laborers? I'm sure the

university could hire high school and jr. high students at even lower wages, or better yet why hot hire illegal im­migrants who would be happy to work for pennies. Actually, why not go to the third world and buy some slaves; a lifetime worth of work at one low purchase price! The point rm trying to make is that there will always be someone willing to undercut laborers' wages. Every student who takes the job of a person on strike is opposing the strike.

You, Jan, by advocating a greater apathy among students are also opposing the strike. Unfortunately you are in a position of influence which makes you much more dan erous. The student

coalition in support of the strike is merely serving as an equal and opposite reaction to actions of the "neutral" senate (the quality of education, they say, is more important than these peoples' lives), the scab workers, and now the Exponent's un­believably naieve editor.

If trying to help the workers who are without power, without support, and without decent living wages is "romantic nostalgia of the fervor of the sixties", then so be it. I would suggest that you, Jan, take your head out of the sand and make yourself aware of the real issues. Then you might show us your "constructive" support of the strikers. To remain neutral or unbiased in a struggle bet­ween those with power and those without, is to side with the powers that be.

( SUBJECTIVELY~~~~~O~@J Supreme Court Progress made in the abortion issue

The Supreme Court's ruling this week that government aid may be given to lower income women getting abortions is a long overdue, much needed decision.

The issue has been bantered around and hashed over for so long that the arguments are pretty well known. Mostly it boils down to religious objections vs. defense of a "woman's right to make her own decisions regarding her own body". It is un­fortunate that some people tend to want legislation to be based on personal moral convictions. Laws should not be made on the basis of religious belief­religions differ too much in the do's and don'ts. Who's religion would the laws be based on? Some religions would outlaw dancing, some drinking of alcoholic beverages, some would ban any method of birth control, others the use of blood transfusions.

The list is endless. My intention here is not to condone or condemn

abortions. That is a decision that must be made by individuals_ The decision not to have a child is as personal as the decision to have a child. No government has the right or responsibility to make those decisions.

children whose parents cannot support them, or offering low interest loans for people whose homes are destroyed by flood because they built in a canyon outside of L.A. Part of the function of our government is to directly benefit the individual who needs templlrary financial assistance.

The attitude regarding other forms of financial aid should be applied in determining whether or not to grant some monetary assistance in this instance. Abortions should be financed as surely as the maternity costs for someone not able to pay for them are financed.

I have no doubt that there will be abuses of this offer of aid. There are always those who try to beat the system whether in unfairly collecting unem­ployment, cheating on income tax, or lying on an application for financial aid. Stringent controls must be placed on and enfocced as to who qualifies.

I've heard the argument, too, that the govern­ment should not pay for someone else's mistake. The government does in numerous ways-as it should. Whether it is paying welfare benefits for

Despite the problems, inconsistencies, and abuses that are bound to crop up, I am relieved that this much needed progress has been made.

Taking Exception

Editor I wish to take exception to

the confused sentiments in your editorial of February 15 concerning support for the strike and "60' s nostalgia."

Only the actions of the Student Coalition and con­cerned faculty members ha-ve brought the MSU J.d­ministration out of the seige mentality they were fostering concerning the strike. The informational picketing and persistent calls for a public forum on the issues at least produced some ad­ministration response where any response was previously said to be "inappropriate." There has been a dramatization of the in­credibly low wages of most workers at MSU. People

simply cannot live adequately on wages of 4.00 or less per hour (which most janitors and clerical workers here are paid). Those familiar with American labor history know that there will always be someone desperate or foolish enough to accept sub-human wage rates. It is against the exercise of this kind of "freedom" that those of us who have supported the strike have spoken. A major aim of unions has always been a decent living wage. The issues in this strike are the University System is paying hundreds of people at rates that simply cannot be described as living wages. It is for the hundreds too desperate or fearful to strike that others have acted. There is no 60's nostalgia here (unless it be for greater purchasing power). lt' s simple equity.

But when it comes to choosing between decades, if caring for other people is to identify with the 60's, we need a good deal more of it rather than the exclusive preoccupation with our own narrow littles worlds and the apparent dominant ethic of selfishness.

Protest Sub base

To the Editor: On October 28 and 29

1979, over fifty people from Montana travelled to a national rally and protest against the Trident Sub­marine Base at Bangor, Washington. We joined with

over 4000 people from all over the nation to construct a Peace Conversion City at the main gate of the base. The concept was to share ideas for alternatives to a military based economy. Then on October 'ZT in the evening and early morning of the 28th, five of us formed an affinity group called the Mountain Waters and jumped over the ferice committing non-violent civil disobedience. This was to alert all people of our country to the extreme threat posed to world peace by Trident submarine and all nuclear weaponry.

I am writing to tell you that this issue will be brought up in t he Federal court on February 25th. Although the court is prosecuting around a petty trespassing charge, the content is charged with all the tensions of the present world situation. We are speaking to a world situation bristling like a porcupine with missiles aiming everywhere. Plenty are aimed at Montana with its strategic missile silos placed in vast prairies.

I grew up in Montana and became aware in Montana. I love Montana and choke when I think of total annihilation. One day it became clear to me that all the letter writing, meetings with Armed Ser­vices officials and political games were not reducing the upward spiral of defense budget one teeniest bit. Contradictory is this support with our tax money of such massive missile systems which actually result in an increased threat to our National Security. How can we feel secure when at any

Michael Myers, rhythm acoustic guitar and lead and harmony vocals, began playing wile still in school in Three Forks, Montana, and won a following as a single, playing in clubs in Bozeman, Big Sky and Billings. After one night of practice, Michael and Steven played a concert at Eastern Montana College and sine that night have done nothing but soar.

HOMEGROWN plays for the love of it, and the audience can't help but feel it and go along for the ride.

When I met Steven and Michael they were very excited about their upcoming album, scheduled for release in 6-9 weeks. They had just come to work at Roses Cantina after having pictures taken for the album cover and were walking two feet above the ground. Their frien­dliness is contagious and it isn't hard to tell that they have really worked to be where they are, yet, they lack the cynicism of many mus1C1ans. Their sound is fresh and free, and dancy, and you can witness Homegrown's blend of perfect harmonies and expert guitar wiAardries at Rose's Cantina through Saturday. Do yourself a favor ....

Last week the Baptist Student Union and programming teams held their first dorm table tennis tournament. There were about forty-five applicants representing eight residence halls. The half that were represented were Roskie, S. Hedges, N. edges, Hannon, Colter Pryor, Culbertson Mullan, and Langford. In­dividual tournaments were held in each of these dorms. Both men and womens singles were played and the top three players from each hall advanced to the finals which were held Feb. 3, at 2:00 p.llL in North Hed es. The Ba tist

Student Union donated two new championship table tennis tables to the dorm whose representative won the finals tournament. One table was awarded to the men's champion and one the women's. In the women's finals, Karen Hellwig of South Hedges defeated Kam Lingo in overtime. In the men's finals, Jay Lit tlewolf of Langford defeated Leroy Hayes in what was to be the finest table tennis played in the tournament. Bushan Dondaker of North Hedges took third place. Congratulations to Karen Hellwig of South Hedges and Jay Littlewolf of Langford. We hope you all enjoy the tables.

Iphigenia in Aulis

drama of 'crushing despair' by Michael Sexson

Ben Tone's production of Iphigenia, currently playing at the SUB Theatre through Saturday, Feb. 23rd, spares us none of the simple, crushing despair of this bleakest of all tragedians, and, fortunately, none of his penchant for melodrama. Indeed, the standout scene in the play is when Iphigenia pleads with her father not to kill her. She urges him to recall when as a child she clung to him and wove her fingers in his beard and promised to care for him. In Tone's production, Agamemnon (John Mason) stands rock solid as Iphigenia (Ricka Lei Hanson) grasps him around his knees--but to no avail. Then she turns to

her brother, the tiny Orestes, and pleads, "Beg our father not to kill your sister." The child, played with guileless correctness by little Colby Knight, walks over to his doomed sister, falls to his knees, reaches out his arms in a gesture of silent sup­plication and then strokes the father's beard. The effect is shattering. This is melodrama, but it is great melodrama, and Tone, Mason, Hanson and Colby Knight make the most of it.

There is much eI5e to recommend in this production of Iphigenia. Joel Jahnke's set-a bleak, stark grey stage traversed by rope nets-is superb. The chorus movements, arranged by Tamar Hurwitz, are ad-

mirable, and the acting, with a standout performance by Gwen Harris as the tor­mented Clytemnestra, is most satisfactory. John Pribyl's masks, especially those of the Old Servent, Ac. illes and Clytemnestra, are wonderful. A modern audience is initially disturbed by the appearance of these stylized frozen ex­pressions, but very quickly they are accepted and it becomes possible, after more than 2000 years, to get a sense of what tragedy was like for those original theatre­goers at Athens.

In this production, Ben Tone gives us, I suspect, the essential Euripides, the one who speaks most clearly to our age because it is so much

A scene in the "bleak melodrama" of Iphigenia in Aulis.

like the one he lived in-the declining years of the glory that was Athens, and Greece. In his plays, the gods are demoted to the status of heroes (or else do not exist at all), heroes have become mere men (witness the wish-washy Achillles, nicely played by James McCall-not at all the superman of Homer) ; men have become monsters and the world is a place where things fall ap.a·rt and the center

cannot hold. Amid all this chaos and confusion, however, dimly audible in the apocalyptic din, is the voice of Iphigenia, the indomitable spirit of willing human sacrifice, speaking to us about love and forgiveness, of justice and understanding, qualities which will one day belong to a new being, conceived in the current fires of destruction and born on the far side of despair.

MSU skiers compete in regional meet

by Mark Beatty The Montana State

University men's ski team will travel to Winter Park, Colo., this week for the NCAA regional ski cham­pionships.

The meet begins Thursday · morning and continues 1 through Friday. The top 22 I finishers in alpine events and 1 the top 16 nordic (cross I country} skiers will advance I to the NCAA finals, to be held

in Stowe, Vt., March 5-8. "We are going up against

some of the best competition in the country this week in Colorado," said head coach John Shampeny. "Colorado is the' defening national champion and they aren't even the favorites."

Boasting a number of Norwegian skiers, the University of Utah has taken over the role as the team to beat with the University of

Colorado running a close second. Shainpeny feels the Bobcats should finish in the top five.

"Utah is definitely the top team this year but there will also be strong competition from CU and Wyoming," Shampeny said. "We should finish in either third or fourth and preferably third."

Best bets for top finishes for the Bobcats are Rusty Squire, Matt Murphy and Ron Matelich.

"With the type of hill that we will be racing on, I would think that Ron will be one of the favorites to win the giant slalom." Shampeny said. "Rusty and Matt will be very tough in both the GS and the slalom."

The Bobcats will return from Colorado immediatey following the meet to prepare for the national cham­pionships.

Cat-Griz tennis tomorrow by Mark Beatty

Tomorrow the Montana State tennis team will open its season with a noon match

1 with their cross-state rivals, the Montana Grizzlies.

Despite the fact it is the season opener, MSU Head Coach Bryan Knight sees it as an important match. "This will give us an idea where we have to be come divisional time. We figure we have to beat the Grizzlies to make the Big Sky Championships."

This season, in" tennis, the

Big Sky has split into two divisions. Each division has four teams and three will advance to the Big Sky Conference Championships after a divisional meet. MSUs division includes perennial powerhouses Idaho and Boise State as well as Montana.

The match will be played on MSUs home courts in the Health & PE Complex.

"If anyone is interested in seeing some of the best tennis in Montana," says Knight, "come on up and watch."

( ~~lliJSPORTS ) Big Sky playoff forecast:

mostly clear, but some clouds by Mark Beatty

As a result of last weekend's games, the Big Sky Conference playoff picture has become much clearer.

Weber State has clinched first place. The Big Sky tournament, involving the conference's top four teams, will be held at the Wildcats' Dee Events Center on February 29 and March 1. The first and fourth place teams will play in one semi­final while the second and third place teams face off in the other.

Idaho, 7-5 before last night, will finish in second if they win both their remaining home games. If they split, they will tie for second with the winner of the Bobcat­Grizzly game tomorrow night. Due to the conference tie­breaking format, Idaho would finish ahead of either the 'Cats or the Griz in any two way tie situation.

If Idaho loses both their games, they will finish 7-7. The winner of the MSU-UM match-up would finish second and the loser would tie Idaho for third.

Nevada-Reno (5-7) before last night, could enter that third place tie with road wins at Idaho last night and Boise State tomorrow night. If there is a three way third place tie with MSU, UNR and

UI, MSU would be third and UNR would be fourth. If there is a three way tie with UM, UNR and UI, UI would finish in third and UM would be next.

If Reno does not tie, Idaho finishes third ahead of the loser of the UM-MSU game. If Idaho splits or sweeps and MSU wins tomorrow, MSU takes third and UM takes fourth. If UI splits or sweeps and UM wins tomorrow, the Griz take third and MSU takes fourth. If MSU wins tomorrow night and Idaho wins one or both of their remaining games, MSU

will take third and Idaho will take second and they would face each other in the first round.

If MSU wins tomorrow night and Idaho loses their remaining two games, MSU will finish second and Idaho will finish third.

If MSU loses tomorrow night, the Bobcats would finish third if and only if Idaho loses twice and Reno wins twice. In that event, MSU would face the Grizzlies. Under any other cir­cumstances, a Bobcat loss would mean that MSU would face Weber State.

Markscellaneous The ball-handling wizard How does a five-foot-nine

basketball player who averaged 11 points a game in high school ball and barely any in junior college action get a full-ride basketball scholarship to a major college?

Well, Larry (the Wizard) Novotny did it by spinning basketballs well enough at a juco in Minneapolis to catch the attention of the Montana State coaching staff.

Bobcat Head Coach Bruce Haroldson rembers, "We were thinking about replacing Dan Miles (last season's ball handler extraordinaire). (Assistant Coach) Stu (Starner) told me about Larry. As soon as I heard about him I was interested. I thought he would be a treat for our fans."

Novotny wasn't so sure about major college basketball, however. "After juco, I hadn't planned on

going on," he recalls. "But it seemed to me that I had a talent and rather than waste it, I decided to use it."

Novotny was asked why he chose to come to MSU. "When I came out (to visit) everybody treated me great. I thought it would be a new and fun thing for Mon­tanans. Also, MSU seemed to have a first-class basketball program."

It wasn't easily developing his talent to the point it is at now, according to Novotny. When I first started prac­ticing (back in the eight grade following a Globetrotter performance) I broke a lot of things," he remembered with a grin. "Three alarm clocks, a couple of lamps and I almost got a TV."

Is he still hazardous to appliances? "Not so much anymore," he said with another big smile.

The Wizard has come a long way since those early days.

Twice last year, the Golden State Warriors of the NBA had him flown out to San Franciso to perform at halftime of a Warrior game.

Haroldson has also been impressed. He (Novotny) has been more than everything I hoped," he states.

As Bobcat basketball fans know, Novotny has a wide variety of stunts. He says that spinning five balls at once (one on each index finger, one on the toe of each shoe and one on his left knee) is his toughest trick. Tomorrow night, during the Grizzly game, he plans on making six balls at once his most challenging stunt.

Other things that the likable guy is working on include standing on his head while spinning a ball, (or is it spinning a ball while standing on his head?) spinning two balls during a sommersault and other two ball tricks.

Despite the fact that

Novotny does not play in the game, he is still considered part of the team. He has to go to the meetings and practices just like everyone else.

Not only is he a part of the team, he is an important part.

"Larry has been an integral part of our team," offers Haroldson. "He fits in so well and so supportive of the players."

In addition to his intangible contributions, he also does statistical work during the game. He charts how MSU and the opposition do against each other while the two teams are in their vaious offenses and defenses. At halftime, Novotny sits down with Haroldson and they go over what was and was not working for MSU in the first period.

Novotny's athletic ability doesn't end with basketball. In the summertime he plays baseball for an amateur team in his home state of Min-

nesota. Novotny, a cen­terfielder, is an avid Twins fan and numbers a few of them as friends.

As far as the future goes, the Wizard is a pre-med major and hopes to get into a chiropractic school upon graduation. He says he will continue to perform, "as long as I can make people happy."

For the present, however, Novotny is satisfied in having his childhood hopes fulfilled­sort of "I always dreamed as a little kid," he says, "of playing college basketball."

ched a conference playoff berth with a 92-85 win over Boise Stale and a 89-74 triumph over Idaho on Saturday.

In the Boise State Game, McDowell exploded for 23 points in the second half after being held scoreless in the first half.

Aside from some first half foul trouble, McDowell ex­plained the difference as follows: "In the first half, they played a box defense on me. They had one guy on me and the other four were in a box zone."

McDowell led a parade of five MSU players into double figures. -Mick Durham finished with 17, Hashley and Harry Heineken totaled 16 and Marshall Plantz came off the bench with ten.

Midway through the first half, the Bobcats scored ten unanswered points to stretch a 19-18 lead to 29-18. The closest Boise State got after that was four points and they did it five times; the last one at 77-73 with 4:43 to play. McDowell then took charge, scoring six points in a short burst to lead MSU to a 86-77 lead with two minutes to play.

In the Idaho game, the 'Cats used a solid first half to put them on their way to their fifth win in six games.

With six and a half to play in the first half, MSU and UI were tied at 25. The 'Cats then caught fire and Idaho

went cold, includin~ missinv the front end of a one-and-0ne · three times.

The half-time score was 43-29.

Idaho slowly closed the gap to 65-62, but six straight MSU points helped the 'Cats pull away. Down the stretch, Idaho could pull no closer than six.

Hashley led the 'Cat attack with 25 points and 11 rebounds. McDowell added 20 points and Bill Kreiger chipped in with 13 points and 11 boards.

Bobcat notes. Tomorrow night's game will be the final home contests for seniors Mick Durham and Arnold McDowell. Durham is currently leading the Big Sky in free throw percentage while McDowell is only .2 points a game behind Idaho's Don Newman in the scoring race ...... Other Bobcats atop the conference standings include Hashley in field goal percentage and Kreiger in blocked shots .... Halftime tomorrow night should be a gala affair with the ball­handling wizard, Larry Novotny, performing, a jitterbug contest and Mc­Donalds halftime half court shoot-0ut for $100 ....... The cheerleaders are urging all MSU fans to come to the game in western attire, namely cowboy boots and cowboy hats .... Prior to the main event, MSU's and UM's junior varsity teams will do battle at 5:30. MSU won an earlier contest narrowly in Missoula.

Bowling team

shooting for nationals

by Scott Peters The MSU Bowling team,

after two years of develop­ment, IT1\1Y have a shot at the national competition this year.

The team had the highest conference average this year, 195, with one of its members, Mitch Burrington, playing a 300 game, another Fred Mattson, playing a 299, and Rex Coleman producing a 3 game average of 760 during a scratch series.

They won 3 out of 6 of their conferene games (Wash. State, Boise State, and the U of M tourney), and placed second in games with Eastern Oregon and Idaho State.

They will travel to Pullman, Washington, for a shot at the sectionals, which will place them one game from the nationals. Even if they lose this tourney, which they don't expect to, they may be able to place in the sectionals through points gained in conference games, they have 56 points out of a possible 60, putting them at the top of the conference.

Team members are Fred Mattson, Mitch Burrington, Rex Coleman, Keith Wilholm,

Ted Andras, Glenn West, Rex Burns, and Wayne Wetherett.

MSU indoor track at Big Sky meet by Mark Beatty

The Montana State University men's track team is looking to improve on last year's sixth place finish in the Big Sky Conference Indoor Track championships which started today.

The two-day meet will be held Friday and Saturday at Idaho State University in the Minidome.

"There will be a number of tough squads there," Coach Rob Stark said. "The teams that are strong in the middle distances will be the teams to beat."

Last year's indoor champion, Weber State, appears to be the favorite this year, along with host Idaho State and Northern Arizona.

Stark believes his squad

has the potential to break 10 school records in the meet.

"We have a much stronger tejl.ID than last season," Stark said. "I would like to see us finish in the top five and have three or four individual winners."

The Bobcats will enter a 17-man roster. Sophomore Ken Riedl has conference bests in boththe long jump and hurdles. Other top entries are freshman Lance Deal in the shotput, junior Steve Bishop in the two and three mile runs, school record holder Joe Moerkerke in the highjump and pole vaulter Bruce Reid.

"We are taking a group of good ompetitors to the championships," Stark commented. "We should do well."
