During his four-year career at Ok lahoma, Overstreet gained 1,702 yards in 293 carries and scored 16 times. His greatest day with the Sooners came in 1980 when he gained 258 yards in 18 carries during an 82-42 Oklahoma win over Colorado. After his college career, Overs treet chose the Canadian Football League over the NFL, playing with the Montreal franchise for two years. In his first Canadian season — 1981 — he rushed for 952 yards and caught 48 passes for 356 yards. His performance that year, how ever, was marred by 16 fumbles. Af ter three games of the 1982 season he was placed on the injured reserve list and later returned home.

BIG SANDY — The funeral of Miami Dolphins running back David Overstreet will be attended by his boyhood chums — Detroit running back Billy Sims, former Chicago wide receiver James Scott — and Dolphins coach Don Shula, his widow confirmed Monday. “Billy (Sims) and James (Scott) told me they were coming,” Johnnie Mae told United Press International. “There’ll probably be some others. “He was a good man,” she said of her husband who was killed in a fi ery wreck Sunday. “David was well known and well liked. I’m not sur prised these people want to attend. “Everybody’s in shock,” she said. “Nobody can believe he’s dead, not like that.” Overstreet, 25, apparently fell asleep at the wheel of his Mercedes early Sunday before it sliced through telephone poles, slammed into a rural gas station in Winona, 11 miles north of Tyler, and exploded. The funeral will be held Wednes day at 2 p.m. in the auditorium of the Big Sandy, Texas, High School, site of so many of Overstreet’s tri umphs. As a tailback, he led his high school to two Class B state cham pionships and a co-championship from 1973 to 1975. Sims, who played with Overstreet at the University of Oklahoma, de scribed their friendship as like “brothers.” “It is a shock, you know. He was just down visiting me week before last,” Sims said. “I knew his family very well on both sides.” Overstreet had just returned to Texas from a trip to Detroit, where he appeared in a charity speaking engagement with Sims. Sims was a childhood friend, as was Scott, and the best man at Overstreet’s wed ding. Scott, who signed with Chicago in 1976, is a former wide receiver and played at a rival high school against Overstreet. He attended junior col lege in Texas.

You could go there between classes and have a sandwich and a Coke, or sit with friends and drink a beer. That’s the kind of campus pub —a place to “kick back” — that a group of five students in Speech 404 says Texas A&M wants. They based their dreamy conclusions on a survey they did for the class. “It’s only a class project,” says Christine Vaughn, a nuclear engi neering major from Houston, “but it’s a neat idea.” Vaughn says that twice in the last 11 years the subject of alcohol on campus has been discussed, but both times it didn’t go far. In 1973 the Board of Regents dropped the idea and in 1981 it didn’t even get past the student senate, she says. Each time in the past the emphasis was on alcohol, Vaughn says, but their approach is on the atmosphere of the place. The question wasn’t “Can we sell alcohol?” — it was “Can we have a nice place to congregate while on campus?” Vaughn says. Vaughn and her group talked to other universities with similar drink ing establishments. They also got suggestions from the student affairs department, which conducts alcohol education on campus. Vaughn says the University of Ok lahoma has a pub on its campus and the manager suggests selling the beer or wine at a break-even price so that the profits come from the food. This way the emphasis is not on the alcohol, Vaughn says. She also pointed out that profits from such a place would be the university’s. The survey asked those whom they favored a pub who would ust! when and how often. The grouped lected 211 completed surveys fw faculty, students and staff. Vaughn says the results general were proportional to the campt but not entirely definitive. “A much more in-depth sum would be needed if the propos were real,” Vaughn says. “Our suits show that a pub on campus favored three-to-one." Jan Winniford, assistant director of student affairs, says there are pluses and minuses to a pub on cam pus. “I’ve been on campuses where places like this have worked fine,” Winniford says. “I’m sure there are places that don’t work, too.” Vaughn says every one would admitted into the pub but a legalE would have to be shown every tim drink was bought. This would litj deal with the drinking age, shesait Some of the difficulties she fore sees include dealing with the drink ing age, the location of the place, and whether the students, faculty and staff really want or need some place like this at Texas A&M. Vaughn says she doesn't _ go any further with the propos than the classroom. The group, which includes Vaughn, Kevin Waters, Jose Eliz- ando, Rich Swann, and Darryl Weatherly, conducted a small survey to see just who is interested in a pub on campus. "Most of the research isdoneui someone wanted to take it to the® dent senate,” Vaughn says. “I tki if the proposal was rejected beam of alcohol on campus the place ilsd would be nice.” Winniford also said the proje may have a slight chance if pi to the student senate, but sonra would have to do a good job ofsd ing after that. U.S. pullout to hurt UNESCO United Press International DALLAS — The United States’ decision to pull out of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization would hurt both the country and the interna tional group, the general director of UNESCO said Monday. In a news conference at the Amer ican Library Association’s national convention, Amadou-Mahtar M’Bow — the organization’s first di rector general from a Third World nation — said he is hopeful the United States will retract its decision and remain in the group. “I shall not pass judgement on what the United States said in their communication to UNESCO noti fying it of their plan (to pull out),” he said in French through an inter- pretor. The U.S. State Department has announced its intention to withdraw from the 161-member organization at the end of this year and cited un restrained spending, poor manage ment and policies hostile “toward the basic institutions of a free so ciety” as reasons for its decision. However, U.S. officials stopped short of suggesting any concrete changes. “Whenever any particular country might complain about something, it might be a good idea to state pre cisely what are the reasons for such grievances ... This, indeed, might fa cilitate things,” he said. The best interests of the United States would not be served by the “empty chair” diplomacy suggested by withdrawl, he said. “I don’t believe, subjectively, that an empty chair policy at an interna tional organization would be posi tive,” he said. “Any state is fully entitled to have its own viewpoint, different from others, he said. “Personally, when I have an opinion, I stand up for it. (I would) even if I were the last man to defend it.” Because the United States pro vides 25 percent of UNESCO’s funding, a U.S. withdrawl would have a profound effect on the group’s operations, he said. “The question that arises is how to maintain contact with cultural and scientific organizations in the United States,” he said, adding that this will adversely affect America as well as UNESCO. “If the United States does with draw they would no longer belong to a certain number of intergovern mental councils,” he said. Because UNESCO is an interna tional organization, it is inevitable that the world’s conflicts and ten sions should surface in the organiza tion, he said.
