% y 49ers’ 49 destroy MiaMarino in Super Bowl XIX Associated Press I STANFORD, Calif. — II there is a league higher than the National 'Football League, the Miami Dol phins will be glad to nominate |oe Montana and the San Francisco j}9ers for membership. Like a surgeon teaching his craft toa medical student, Montana made |*,i shambles of his quarterback show down with Dan Marino and the ll9eis demolished the Dolphins 38- 16 Sunday in Super Bowl XIX, leav ing no question that the 49ers are the TJFL’s Super team. ■ “Dan Marino is a great quar terback, but in mv mind Joe Mon tana is the best quarterback in the game today and maybe of all time,” said an exultant 49er Coach Bill Walsh. “Marino will have his day, but this was Montana’s day and this was a San Francisco 49er year.” “Without a doubt, this is the best football team in the National Foot ball League today,” Walsh added. “I think it’s one of the best teams of all time.” The record book will verify that. The 49ers finished with an NFL-re- cord 18 victories against one loss, and Montana, who entered the day as the league’s No. 2 quarterback be hind Marino, emerged No. 1. He threw three touchdown passes and ran for another and set Super Bowl records with his 331 yards passing and 59 yards rushing on five scrambles to win the MVP award for the second time in four years. He had exemplary help from Walsh’s bag-of-tricks offense; from fullback Roger Craig, who caught two TD tosses and ran for a record third score, and from a defense whose pressure on Marino exceeded anything a Dolphin opponent had been able to do in this record-break ing season. “Our team did not rise to the occa sion,” Miami Coach Don Shula said. “They’re a heckuva offensive foot ball team and we did not have the answer.” Marino was intercepted twice and sacked four times. In two NFL sea sons, Marino had not been sacked more than three times; he had been dumped only 13 times in 18 games this season and not at all in two play off games. “I think our whole offensive unit was great,” Montana said. “We were hearing all week long about Miami and ‘how are you going to stop them?’ I don’t think people were thinking about our offense. That probably helped us.” The game was portrayed as a dream contest between the NFL’s two best teams, but the 49ers were clearly better. And for this day at least, so was Walsh in his “genius” match with Mi ami’s Don Shula. In fact, the game was competitive only in the first period. Miami took a 3-U lead on the fust of three field goals by Uwe von Scha- mann, lost it on a 33-yard TD pass from Montana to reserve running back Carl Monroe, then got it back again on a brilliantly executed six- play, 70-yard drive engineered by Marino. But that 10-7 first quarter lead lasted only until Montana got the ball back. By halftime it was 28-16, by midway through the third period, 38-16. That was fine with most of the 84,059 fans in Stanford Stadium, just 30 miles south of the 49ers’ home base at Candlestick Park. But there were other heroes be sides Montana. His offensive line allowed him to be sacked only once and more often See SUPER, page 9 MMV Texas ASM _ « a The Battalion Serving the University community 81 No. 79 LISPS 045360 14 pages College Station, Texas Monday, January 21, 1985 hanged Cold freezes outdoor inaugural fesitivities ecti'oro, of your irs?” ^imkI ula g out” isi i.u pronwi 'UidenM t hemsek e Corps t meet all it ps with« ng out to; hod <*1 fa major ai leu arestj mlnitmu l.isMTian! ■s him (to ppmgoW i hr modti llmg at 9 lc uhippit <u igmaltf ret ore eat - freshmt ,Miien tin ilkcd ini# said. ”V« I unit void a me (as it iiiip.wn.fl m stud" 1 ' ■ms and th d, not al» stake for“ i lungs tits nr. he said line of tho* hoto Associated Press WASH INC ION — Hie tradi- ional inaugural parade was canceled at President Reagan’s re quest Sunday after swirling winds, mow and sub-zero wind chills left a frozen while crust on the capital. Reagan’s re-enactment of his oath- aking and delivery of his inaugural iddress were moved inside to the Fapitol Rotunda. The change in today’s inaugural chedule marked one of the few imes inaugural events had been canceled or moved indoors because of bad weather. Reagan expressed disappoint ment about (he turn of events but said, “ I he health and safety of those attending and wot king at these out door events must come before any celebrations.” Reagan said medical and military experts warned him that under the windy, sub-f reezing conditions fore cast “exposed flesh can freeze within five to 10 minutes, triggering consid erable danger to parade-goers.” Reagan said the black-tie inaugu ral balls would be held as scheduled and that he had directed his inaugu ral committee to arrange an event this afternoon to “allow those who have traveled so far and have given so unselfishly an opportunity to be a part of this historic occasion.” It was not immediately clear how severe the financial impact of the cancellation would be on the inaugu ral committee, which had raised $12.5 million to stage four days of festivities around the capital. „ Inaugural committee spokesman James Lake Jr. said people who bought the 25,000 parade tickets ranging in price from $12.50 to $100 would receive full ref unds. I he ceremony in the Rotunda of the Capitol will be restricted to a few hundred people, and practically none of the 140,000 ticket holders who had planned to watch the out- rsary Ice sculptures froze fast in the fountain outside the Chemis try Building as layers of freezing water formed amid temper atures of 20 degrees Farenheit. The cold weather is expected to be here at least through today. Forecasters predict a low morning temperature of 13 F and a high of 33 F under clear skies. rvice Delays usually result from incomplete forms Filing for aid a long process To keep students from becoming impatient, the Stu dent Financial Aid department is inserting a form in ev ery financial aid application to explain the process from start to finish. By KIRSTEN DIETZ Staff Writer Students complaining of delays in the awarding of financial aid usually have only themselves to blame, T aft E. Benson, director of the Student Financial Aid Department, says. Most complaints are traced hack missing or incomplete items re quired for submission. “The process itself is long in addi tion to something happening along the way to delay it,” he said. While most students understand and follow all the required steps, some get f rustrated and angry. “That’s understandable because it (the process) is so long,” Benson said. To keep students from becoming impatient, the department is now in serting a form in every financial aid application to explain the process from start to finish, Benson said the form was a sug gestion of the Student Government Advisory Board. The hoard looks for ways to inform students on the financial aid available and how to get it. It will sponsor a Financial Aid Awareness Week Feb. 1 1-15'. Students interested in financial aid for the 1985-86 academic year must first fill out the Financial Aid Form and submit it by the appropri ate deadline: April 15 for the aca demic year, Feb. 1 for summer ses sions and Sept. 15 for the spring semester. The College Scholarship Service analyzes the family financial data to determine the percentage of income that should be available for the stu dent’s education. The financial aid office will set up a student expense budget to calculate how much it should cost the student to live and attend school at Texas A&M. The fi nancial aid office tries to meet the difference between the two. This step takes about six weeks, Benson said. At the same time, the College Scholarship Service sends the data to the Pell Grant Processing Center to determine if the student is eligible for a pell grant. A student can also applv on his own for the grant. The center will send the student a Student Aid Report (SAR) indicat ing if he is eligible. The SAR must be sent to the financial aid office, along with additional information, for vali dation. T he department will cancel the financial aid request if all the re quired material is not submitted by the deadline. After validation, an award letter outlining the available aid is sent to the student during the summer. The student must sign the letter and re turn it. If the letter is not returned by the due date, the funds are cancelled and reallocated. Benson said holdups at this point are caused if the letter is sent to the wrong address or the student doesn’t receive the letter because he is out of town. A student is eligible for a Guar anteed Student Loans (GSL) if he meets certain financial need and en rollment criteria. The loan must go through several steps which can take from 3-4 weeks before the student is issued a prom issory note. Some savings and loans, especially if out of state, take longer than others to issue the notes, Ben son said. After the student signs the note and returns it to the lender, the check will be issued in 3-6 weeks. He emphasized that the student must be currently enrolled when the check reaches the University. If the check is received after the semester is over, it is sent back to the lender and the student must reapply for the loan. Students receiving scholarships sometimes find themselves in trou ble if the donor fails to send the check in time for the beginning of the semester A scholarship advancement fund was set up last fall to help students dependent on money the University has not received. Money donated to the University is loaned to the stu dent and the fund is reimbursed when the scholarship check an ives. Departmental loans now must also pass through the financial aid office. The office must sign a voucher and check to see what other financial as sistance the student is receiving. Benson said the office must do this to comply with federal regulations and protect T exas A&M during au dits. door proceedings w ill be allowed en try, he said. The committee was reviewing the available space and potential guest lists Sunday night, and Lake said in vitees would be notified overnight. But for the most part, he said, those included would be Reagan’s top aides and Cabinet officers, die families of the president and the vice president and members of Congress. A total of 10,578 marchers, float riders and equestrian groups, in cluding the Texas A&M Parsons’ Mounted Cavalry, had been sched uled to match in the parade. All of the 1 12 groups that were to have participated came to Washington at their own expense. “I would like to cry,” said Ron Walker, chairman of the inaugural committee which organized the pa rade. He said he believed it would be the first inaugural parade to he canceled by weather. Merchants file motion to retry A&M logo case By ANN CERVENKA Staff Writer Texas A&M received a motion last week from local merchants to rehear the trial which gave the University the power to control its service marks. On December 31 the Court of Ap- >eals in Waco reversed the decision jy the District Court, thereby giving Texas A&M ownership and control over the licensing of the University’s service marks. Unless the court denies the mo tion, the Court of Appeals will have to t etry the case. In May and June, 1981, Texas A&M applied for and was granted certificates of registration by the Sec retary of State for the following set v- ice marks: Texas Aggies, ATM, TAMU, the seal of Texas A&M, Gig’ Em Aggies, the ring crest and Old Sarge. Registration gives the University authority to license the manufactur ers and exact royalties for their use of the marks, Associate Justice Vic Hall said. “The point is, the manufacturers were making money off of our name and we weren’t getting anything,” Genevieve Stubbs, Texas A&M se nior staff attorney, said. Several years ago. National Foot ball League teams began protecting their service marks. “In my mind; that really kicked it off,” Barry Nelson, manager of ad ministrative services, said. “Then the colleges came in.” UCLA and USC were two of the first schools to register their marks'. “You could find more UCLA and USC things in Japan than in Calif or nia,” Stubbs said. The license requires the manufac turer to pay Texas A&M a royalty fee, normally six percent of the total net selling price of the products, Nelson said. As full'owner of the marks, the University also has the right to main tain quality and tasteful manufactur ing standards, Stubbs said. i-• However' in August 1984.'Toeilf bookstores filed a suit in the District Court “seeking a declaration or find ing b\ the trial court that appellant (the University) is not the owner of the service marks in question, an or der cancelling the registrations, and an injunction permanently enjoining die University from licensing and collection royalties for the use <>l the marks,” Hall said. 1 he merchants claimed the marks belong to the state, not the Univer sity, that the licensing is similar to imposing a tax. and that business would be hurt because the prices would have to be raised, Stubbs said. On March 7, 1983, the trial court cancelled the registration numbers, except the University seal and the ring c iest, based on the trial court’s findings that Texas A&M is not the owner of the marks because it has not used (he marks, Hall said. “In trademark law, ii you don’t use it, you lose it,” Stubbs said. “The only way to take it away from us is by showing that we didn’t use it .” In fact, the University has been using “Texas Aggies” since 1920, “Gig’ Em Aggies” since 1931, ’’Old Sarge” since 1939, and “A TM” and “T AMU” since 1965. “They admitted that we used the marks,” Stubbs said. “And even if they didn’t admit it, w'e have enough evidence that, we did.” The reversal by the Court of Ap peals gives the University complete control over the service marks. Tims tar, the royalty has earned the University over $143,000, Stubbs said. I he money will go to student or ganizations that are not state fun ded,” Nelson said. “I don’t believe the majority, of the Aggies care if they pay a few more pennies if they know that the money is going back to them,” Stubbs said. Record lows set throughout Texas Associated Press A vicious Arctic cold front dropped temperatures into the teens and 20s over wide sections of Texas on Sunday — a stark contrast to the balmy, spring-like readings that graced the state earlier in the weekend. T he front arrived Saturday, dropping temperatures 30 degrees in a matter of a few hours. Howling w ind gusts up to 77 mph caused scat tered power outages between Dallas and Wic hita Falls. The National Weather Service reported wind chill factors as low as 55 degrees below zero as the front charged across the state. The themometer dipped to 10 degrees early Sunday in Abilene — breaking by one degree the record low for the date set in 1888. At the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, the mercurv dropped from 67 degtees to 36 between 6 p.m. and 7 p.m. Saturday Shortly before 7 a.m., the airport reported an I I-degree reading, breaking a 22-year-old record lor the date. Bill Alexander, a weather service forecaster in Fort Worth, said most of Texas “w'on’t see anything above freezing before Tuesday.”
