on doing whatever the hell I want"

Dear Editor, first semester of college is finally through. [ have met manr new faces and seen many new lifestvles. But as I sit back and recall all th.e people:: ihat I have met, one thing st,111ds out in my mind. This little word called RESPECT. Although 1his io a little word used in everyday language, it> meaning is one th.II is significant and hould be followed more often. It seems that ever>· pen.on th.it I h.ive met dismisses the importance of thb word. Gentlemen, I will ,1ddress you first. These so-c.illed frit'nd hips that I have obtained with you, and rou know who vou are. disgust me. None of you h.we 'ho\\·n me or an} other lad'· out there that you are eYen willing to ,how us an ounce of respect. Thi; doesn't neces ·arily h,l\ e to be 111 ,1 relationship though; respect belongs in a friendship a' well. The fact that the men that I ha,·e met treat women like the\ arc pie..:es of meat to be chewed up and spit ou1 111,1kes me sick to mr 'lomach. The word respect ha' r,1rel). 1f e'er. popped into vour m111d. You are "illing to get "·hat niu want. when \'OU want, eem; that after step into the realm of college lose all sense ol morals and ~ that you once had. In the con: sion of trying to find ourselv l changing things that we don't t we lose sight of what " 1mpo Thi-. is our SELF-RESPECT. °Eal stated, easily done, RIGHTI c. self-respect is the most import thing that you can learn from ai one or any s1tu.ition. ·o why we uncaringly allow a persor. take this and walk all over us? T question I cannot answer: that, rou and you alone to figure c But from this letter I hope learn what I ha\'~ learned 1n past four months, and that is 1 respect commands Itself and it neither be gi\'en nor withheld wl it is due.

Sophomore Frank Brown looks for an open teammate during last Saturday night's game against Idaho State. The Bobcats were unable to defeat the Idaho State Bengals, but defeated the Weber State Wildcats on Friday. The Bobcats will host the Grizzlies on Saturday night at the Worthington Arena. The game is slated to start at 7:05 p.m. rest of the evening. Junior guard Doug D'Amore initiated ISU's potent offensive attack. D'Amore would end the game with 28 points, but more impressive was his eight for eight shooting from behind the three point arc. Erickson said, "It wasn't anyone's particular fault that he got open looks at those threes. I take my hat off to him. He was on fire tonight. In this game you can't take anyone lightly, and we found that out tonight." O\'erall as a team, the Bengals

shot over 50 percent from the field, and over 60 percent ( 11 out of 18) from three-point land. Compound ISU's great shooting night with MSU's inability to put the ball in the basket near the end, and any chance of a second half comeback was quickly thwarted. On discussing the energy used up to make the first comeback, Erickson noted, "I wasn't tired from the first one, but two comebacks against a quality team like that is about impossible." Erickson led all Bobcat scar-

ers with 18 points, while Frank Brown dished out eight assists. The Bengals fimshed the game with four players m double digits for scoring. J\1SU faces the GriZLlies this Saturday (Jan. 24) in Worthington Arena. Tip-off is slated for 7:05 p.m. After two weekends of Big Sky play, one thing is certain: there are no dominant teams as of yet, and the seawn is setting up to be a wild one that probably will not be decided until the final weekend.
