This is good news for the team as mainstays Rick Brandl and Craig Dresser will now be able to lei loose and not be hindered by the brutal corners indoor track of-fers. "We open the outdoor season over al Moorhead Stale against the Dragons and Bison. I look for a good effort from Brandl in the 5,000 meters and continued im-provement by the rest of the team," commented Fischer. Last week at Wahpeton several Cobbers had good efforts. Outstanding Meet Performance Awards went to shotputter Paul Kjer, who set a personal best by nearly two feet in the shot put, and Mark Dale who placed second in the high jump with a personal best of 6'4". Hurdlers Jay Peloquin and Pete Seljevold placed one-two in the 60 yard highs. Peloquin also won the high jump. The mile and two mile were won by Kevin Benson and Brandl, respectively. Another man who will definite-ly bolster the team is hockey player turned steeplechaser Kevin Johnson. Johnson, who recently was named all-conference in hockey, placed 4th in the con-ference last year in the 3,000 meter steeplechase.

The student abuse arguments aren't valid, and students who have a GSL should communicate this to their legislators. Default rate is at 8.8 percent, lower than for other types of loans. Also, since financ-ing a college education today is like financing a house five or six years ago, students need the GSL; they are using it responsibly. Anyone, regardless of need, may apply for a GSL. Maximum awards are $2,500 per year for undergraduates and $5,000 per -the sporting eye-by Mark Streed Being the die-hard basketball fan that I am, this time of year always gets me excited. High school play is capped off with district, regional and state tournaments and the NCAA tourneys finish the college season on a high note. So, here are some ran-dom thoughts as the basketball year draws to a close. Offense wins games; defense wins championships. Never have those often quoted words been illustrated better than Coach Bob-by Knight's Indiana team. Using nothing but a swarming man to man defense the Hoosiers dominated the tournament. Knight takes a group of individuals and molds them into a team that always peaks at the right time. Of course, having a guard like Isiah Thomas makes the coach's job a bit easier. It escapes my reasoning why Knight is continually subjected to verbal abuse. Just because he sticks steadfastly to his beliefs and is "tough" shouldn't raise people's ire. Now that he's won two cham-pionships maybe everyone will accept him for what he is —the best coach around. Talking about the NCAA's one can't overlook North Carolina's Al Wood and his 39 point semifinal performance. He was in one of those elusive grooves shooters get into where the basket seems to grow in size. Cobbers Andy Askegaard, Nancy Halda and Sue Eckberg were all honored recently. Askegaard was named all-conference and chosen MVP by his teammates. Halda and Eckberg were chosen to the all-regional team as they led the Cobbers to a strong third place finish. The Quest dynasty continues in "A" league intramural basket-ball. After finishing runner-up last year, Quest romped through this season undefeated. Disciplined team play, tough defense, strong rebounding and, of course, good talent keyed Quest to their title. Players included seniors Jon Dahl, Craig, Dresser, Jeff Stoen and Tom Johnson. Returning next year will be Dave Teschendorf, Paul Holland, Mark Dale and Dan Schroeder. The Minnesota high school state tournament showcased some top individuals, including many talented juniors. Yet, most of the teams were balanced, not relying on one star. That is, except for Bird Island, the now two-time class A champions. Barry Wohler passed, shot, rebounded and handled the ball 80 percent of the time. Wohler is bound for the University of Minnesota where he'll play both football and basketball. Jim Dutcher could use a floor leader and passing wizard like Wohler to compliment his talented but disappointing Gophers. Augsburg's basketball program wa$ caught violating transfer rules for the second time in four years. Quite a coincidence. Perhaps some stronger action should be taken to prevent another unfortunate coincidence. Well, brighten up because the roundball season isn't over yet. The NBA playoffs will be with us for two more months. The Sporting Eye sees green and, by the luck of the Irish, a Celtic championship. You heard it here first. year for graduate students. The interest subsidy is paid by the government until repayment period begins. Due to the fact the the GSL program has doubled and redoubled within the last three years, the government is having to pay interest subsidies which have skyrocketed. According to ACE estimates, up to 90 percent of students who receive a GSL could be declared ineligible next year, Vz-V* million students would need to attend a less expensive school, and one in I0 students would need to attend a less expensive school or be out of school completely. Minnesota Slate Scholarship and Grant (MSSG) program, sub-ject of letters to Governor Quie, under current budget proposals, will not be funded as recommend-ed by the Higher Education Coor-dinating Board (HECB). By not increasing funding of ^ MSSG, government officials are disregar-ding the fact that, first, more and more students are applying to Minnesota colleges and need aid and, second, tuition is up, an average of 15-18 percent yearly at private colleges. Under current proposals, 9,000 students who would normally receive awards won't even be considered. Awards to 1,250 students would be reduced or eliminated completely. 45a The Perfect Surrounding For Your FREE Basket of chips Dining Enjoyment and sauce for every table. 1-29 Frontage Rd.
