BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) —

of free throws by Victor Trahan —in
the final 4:32.
Jackson had 18 of his points in the
final 6:40 of the first half as LSU
opened a 60-32 halftime lead.
Lamar (1-4) hit 13 3-point shots,
including a school-record eight by
David Jones.
Shaquille O’Neal had 24 points for
LSU. Maurice Williamson had 15,
Vernel Singleton 12 and Wayne
Sims 10.
Jones led Lamar scoring with 28
points and Daryl Reed had 10.
Lamar cut LSU’s lead to 74-57 on
a 3-point goal by Duane Prichett
with 12:04 left in the game. But Wil

put LSU back on top 85-59 with 7:38
left.

Aggies host Centenary tonigl;
By Clay Rasmussen
Of The Battalion Staff
The Texas A&M men’s basketball
team will open its home schedule to
night against Centenary in G. Rollie
White Coliseum. Tip off is sched
uled for 7:30 p.m.
The Aggies return home after
playing in two straight tournaments.
A&M finished fifth in the Great
Alaskan Shootout in Anchorage and
took third place in the Jowers Jam
boree in San Marcos.
The Aggies are 2-3 in tournament
play while the Gents are 2-2. To
night’s game will be both teams sea
son openers.
A&M Coach Shelby Metcalf is
pleased with the performance of the
Aggies despite a grueling five-game
road trip.
“Basically, I’ve been happy with
our effort in all our games except
the Pan-American loss,” Metcalf
said.
A&M was blown away by Pan-
American in the Jowers Jamboree
97-79.
“I guess we were a little tired in
that one,” Metcalf said. “We’ve
opened this season with five straight
road games.
“I wouldn’t recommend that to
anyone.
The Aggies will meet the CtE,,,
for the 23rd time. A&M holdsadsBy

But we’ve gotten better. I guess next
semester will be just as hectic as my
first day was. Probably even more,
what with other journalists and all
calling the office to ask my opinion
on sports subjects.
After my sports meeting, I had to
go through a rigorous photo session
with Fred| our photo editor. New
mugshot for today’s column. Much
better than the fall’s raccoon-eyes
shot.
Oh yeah, in all the excitement of
the new position, I forgot to thank
some of the little people who helped
me get here: Floyd “Punk” Rogers,
my high school biology teacher who
kicked me off the golf team; JJ
Rains, who taught me how to smile
and express myself; Marjorie “Lady”
Walraven, who introduced me to
journalism; Scot Walker, who hired
me; Anthony Wilson, who was
always there for me personally as
well as professionally; and you, love
— u know who u r.
Let me add: After all my success,
I’m still a simpleton.
Gee, I bet everybody’s dying to see
who did and didn’t make that list.
Maybe I’ll save it for another
column. Our 23,000 readers really
will dig that.
There’s been so much talk about
whether I’ll jump ship next fall and
work for a bigger newspaper. No
way. My blood bleeds maroon.
Take that, Dallas Times-Herald.
Take your lousy sports editorial job
offer and shove it.
I sit back. It’s 3 a.m. Work is
finished. My eyes are bloodshot, and
I’ve got two chapters of statistics to
read. I hope every day is as glorious
as this.
By god, it will he. — THE END.
There it was. My first 24 hours.
The Sports Editor’s Diary. I hope
A&M cared as much as I did on
Andre’s exciting day in front of the
televisioh.
Triple yuck.

The Fraternity of Volkswagen

Introducing seven members of the Delta Tau Delta
Fraternity and their Volkswagens. We caught up
with these brothers—University of Maine chapter—
and snapped this photo before the snow came.
"Up here, winter is not a season to be taken
lightly" explained fraternity President Andrew
"Gappy" Pelletier. "A lot of people drive
Volkswagens. They've got front wheel drive and
they're dependable. Especially when it's cold."
Brother Wick Gartley agreed, "I don't know how
you happened to pick our fraternity. Seems like
everyone up here drives a Volkswagen."
"I love my Vee Dub," offered Ben Maxcy. "I've
got 135,000 miles on it and it's still running great."
Andrew Michaud, the newest Delt, had his mind
on more important matters. "How's my car look?
