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

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.

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.”
