10—The Daily Collegian Friday, Oct. 31, 1980 Rookies make their mark in NFL By The Associated Press It is called rebuilding. Sometimes, as in the case of a team like the Detroit Lions, it can seem to occur almost in stantaneously. Then there are teams like the New York Giants, for whom rebuilding seems to go on forever. Halfway through the season, 181 rookies dot the rosters of the 28 National Football League teams, 45 of them fre quent starters. In the Lions’ case, the “rebuilding” tag is misleading. They were, after all, contenders for a playoff berth or a divi sion title every year from 1969 to 1978. Then came the crash of ’79, when a cou ple of key injuries (most notably their quarterback, Gary Danielson) resulted in a 2-14 record and, as befits such a ter rible showing, the No.l draft choice. He was Billy Sims and he has helped the Lions to roar back into prominence as leaders of the National Conference’s Central Division. But Sims isn’t the only newcomer to help Detroit’s cause, even if he is the most visible. Consider kicker Ed Murray and tackle Ed Whited. Murray, a Nova Scotia native, was drafted out of Tulane in the seventh round, primarily to give place-kicker Benny Ricardo some competition. He ended up kicking Ricardo out of a job. “He impressed us so much with his deep kickoffs and hjs accuracy on field goals that he was the obvious choice,” coach Monte Clark said. Murray was good on his first sevfen field goal attempts, starting with a 52-yarder against Los Angeles. His first kickoff wasn’t quite as successful. Drew Hill of the Rams returned it 98 yards for a touchdown. Since then, though, few of his kicks have been run back beyond the 20. And with 65 points he’s the No. 2 scorer in the league, trailing only John Smith, New England’s place-kicker. • Whited, ignored in the draft, was sign ed as a free agent out of Pacific as a kick-snapper. Center Tom Turnure, drafted in the third round, had contract problems and didn’t report to camp until the third week of the preseason, giving Whited a chance to make the squad. He took over the long-snap duties when Tur nure was hurt in the third week of the Russell voted best player in NBA history NEW YORK CAP) Bill Russell and Red Auerbach, two of the key figures who helped the Boston Celtics win 11 championships in 13 years, were named yester- day as the greatest player and the greatest coach, respectively, in the history of the National Basketball Association.

And when second-year tackle Keith Dorney hurt his knee two games ago, Whited became a starter. “When I first saw him I didn't give him much of a chance,” Clark said. “But he really worked hard. He almost chang ed the structure of his appearance (put ting on 18 pounds, to 255). He was just a surprise.” The Giants, whose last winning season was 1972 and whose last title of any kind came in 1963, have 16 rookies on their roster, by far the most of any team. Cin cinnati is next with 10. Being a top draftee on one of the most consistently bad teams in the league or on any team, for that matter doesn’t guarantee immediate success in the NFL. Cornerback Mark Haynes, the Giants’ top choice, was given a starting job by coach Ray Perkins the moment his name was mentioned at the draft. He proceeded to throw the job away in the preseason, regained it early in the season, lost it again and has it now only because Terry Jackson has a separated shoulder. The other drafted rookies who start for the Giants these days are wide receiver Danny Pittman, picked in the fourth round, and safety Bud Hebert and linebacker Chris Linnin, both taken in the seventh round. Haynes was the No. 8 selection in the draft. The No. 2 pick, for the other New York team, was Johnny “Lam”' Jones,’ the fleet receiver from Texas. The Jets, everyone said, would be devastating with Jones and Wesley Walker. Today, Walker is injured and Jones, ineffective from the start, rides the bench much of the time while Derrick Gaffney, who started last year, does the same -this season. At least he’s still around and available. Penn State defensive end Bruce Clark, the N 0.4 choice in the draft, opted for Canada instead of life with the Green Bay Packers, just as another first-round pick (Buffalo’s No.l a year ago), Tom Cousineau, did a year earlier. Some of the other first-round draftees who have made it instantly big in the NFL this year are San Francisco' runn- Russell, a five-time NBA Most Valuable Player, beat arch-rival Chamberlain for the outstanding player honor.

Sean O’Grady, a 21-year-old puncher from Oklahoma City, Okla., has won 73 of his 74 professional fights, 65 by knockouts. The fight will be televised live in the United States by NBC at 9 p.m. EST tonight. Their confrontation is a lucrative one for Watt, one full of opportunity for O’Grady, who turned professional at 15. Champion Watt, a southpaw who has lost six of his 44 professional bouts, is confident. “I’m in great shape mentally and physically,” he said. “Everything has gone according to plan so far, and I’m very confident that the title will still belong to Scotland at the weekend.” O’Grady’s buildup has been a troubled one his father-manager has been in volved in clashes with the WBC and the NBA Eastern Conference Atlantic Division Central Division 9 2 6 3 5 4 4 7 3 6 1 8 Western Conference Midwest Division 9 2 5 5 5 6 4 5 2 7 •. 2 9 FBI. aid SDN. 112 KERN 7:00 and 9:00 SAT. and SUN. u 027 7:00 and 9:00 —; 211 Pet.

ASA postponed immediate decision on the request, which the stations made yesterday, because only- four of the eight committee members were present at the meeting, ASA chairman Bill Snyder said. WHR, the West Halls radio station, re '* quested $3,100 for new equipment, in cluding a transmitter, cassette recorder, amplifier and broadcast board. .Director chosen for Mental Health Center By KOSA EBEKLY Daily Collegian Staff Writer David J. Brown has been named direc tor of the University Mental Health Center, effective Nov. 1. Brown, an affiliate associate professor tif psychology, has been serving as ac ting director of the center since last October. The center is effective now but can be more effective in the future, Brown said. All U Day. Olson said activities for All U Day will include a banner competition during the Penn State-Miami football game. Each commonwealth campus can enter one banner, and each banner will be judged by the Nittany Lion and the Penn State cheerleaders during the game, she said. The All U Day committee is also spon soring a dance in the HUB Ballroom -from 8 to midnight tomorrow night. Ad mission is $1.25 and music will be provid ed by the group Metrix, Olson said. An information center will be set up on the ground floor of the HUB from 9 to 11 The new equipment would allow W,HR to expand their broadcasting from War ing Dining Hall to all of West Halls by Dec. 7, said Mark Moeser, general manager of WHR. The East Halls station, WEHR, re quested $l,BOO for a record subscription service, two new turn tables, new tone arms and tape cartridges. If WEHR had this new equipment it could increase its flexibility, raise its quality and diversify its program selec tion, said Matt Wolchko, personnel manager for WEHR. WEHR President Greg Lachs said the station cannot afford to buy the equip Brown said he plans to make several changes at the center in the future because “there are a lot of holes that can be filled.” First, Brown said he plans to advocate a movement toward a “more extensive, diverse group program, instead of in dividual one-to-one counseling.” In a usual year, he said , the center conducts five therapy groups per term. This term, Brown said, 15 groups were tomoorow morning to help Com monwealth campus students find their way around, Olson said. Parking direc tions and information on All U Day ac tivities can also be obtained from the center, she said. Olson said about 2,000 Commonwealth campus students are expected to come to University Park this weekend. “The Keystone Society, the Hetzel Union Board and the Student Affairs of fice have worked very hard to organize All U Day,” she said. “We’ve been sen ding letters and flyers to the campuses about All U Day for awhile, so we’re hop- ment itself, “We are financially running on a treadmill,” he said. “All our money goes into expenses and we can’t expand.” G. Kenneth Nelson, faculty adviser to ASA, said money could be saved if the record subscription service wanted by WEHR was shared between it, WDFM and WHR. “There may be ways to get things done cheaper than they ( WEHR and WHR) think,” Nelson said. ASA currently does not have a full committee because of delay by Undergraduate Student Government Executive Council, USG Senate and USG organized. Brown said he also plans to move the Mental Health Center away from being “so reactive a center.” Rather than waiting for people ,to come to the Center for services, Brown said he hopes to implement several preventative type services or “more ac tive, pro-active initiatives. “I think that a third change is reflected in the fact that we win pro ing for a good turnout.” Attendance for All U Day will be helped by the Todd Rundgren and Utopia concert being presented by the Universi ty Concert Committee tomorrow night, Olsen said. The main purpose of All U Day is to develop a sense of unity among Penn State students, she said. “I think it (All U Day) should bring a feeling that branch campus students aren’t outsiders they’re as much a part of Penn State as the students at the University Park campus,” she said. Academic Assembly to appoint representatives, Snyder said. "I had hoped that we might have a full committee by now,” he said. USG Executive Council, USG Senate and USG Academic Assembly still need to appoint one representative to ASA. “For the most part we forgot about it,” said Ted Szklenski, president of the Academic Assembly. USG President Joe Healey said the ex ecutive council will interview applicants for the budget committee position at a special meeting next Monday. “I hope to have a full committee by early next week,” Snyder said. bably change the name of the center sometime this year away from the men tal health center ... to lay to rest stereotypes and misconceptions of men tal health care,” Brown said. The term mental health center has negative connotations, Brown said. In the future the center will be check ing its effectiveness by data rather than just opinions, Brown said. Party reps, debate campaign platforms By KAREN KONSKI Daily Collegian Staff Writer Representatives of four of the five major student political organizations presented differing views on impor tant issues of the presidential cam paign in a debate last night at the HUB. Each representative answered five questions dealing with his or her party’s platform and candidate’s per sonal opinions. “President Carter has displayed a sincere commitment to ERA through actions,” said Elizabeth Price, representative of the College Young Democrats. Price also said Carter supports the right of the woman’s choice in abor tion decisions. Carter’s numerous appointments of women to high government positions were proof of his belief in the equality of women, she said. Anthony Christino, College Republican representative, said, “ERA is now in the hands of state legislation.” Christino said the Republicans sup port ERA, and Republican presiden tial candidate Ronald Reagan even signed the bill while governor of California, butihat Reagan thinks the time extentibn for the amendment presents a dangerous precedent. Reagan also believes in giving federal aid to help fight crime, but that crime was best handled by the - states, Christino said. To ban legalized abortion would be “to drive young women back to the back alley, coat hanger days,” said Tom Ortenberg, spokesman for the College Consumer Party and can didate Barry Commoner. Ortenberg also said Commoner CheesesteakS IN THREE LOCATIONS!

Students for Anderson represen tative Steve Reeves said independent presidential candidate John B. Anderson is also a “strong supporter of women’s rights” and will fight for the ERA and the woman’s right, to choose an abortion. “Our dependence on foreign oil is a crippling vulnerbility,” said Reeves on energy. He said Anderson will research all of the options “from hydropower to fusion” and then decide which energy source is best. Reeves said Anderson was “shaken by the accident at Three Mile Island” and will put a moratorium on nuclear energy. According to their representatives, both Carter and Commoner favor a switch to renewable energy sources.- The Consumer Party favors public control of the energy industry though, Ortenberg said. However, Christino said Reagan will not ignore those sources the coun try now has, including nuclear energy, until there is a viable alter native. He said Reagan also feels the country should increase its use of coal but “standards need to be revised to create, a balance between the en vironment and the economy.” In his summary, Christino said, “Defense and foreign policy are the key issues” in the campaign because they are tied in closely with domestic problems. Ortenberg said the goal of the Con sumer Party was to get “5 percent of the vote on Tuesday. Then the Federal Election Commission will pay the entire 1980 campaign debt I'JIM'-' '
