year's center, Desi Barmore.
"He's in a (earning and confidence
finding process," says Grant. "But he
can play:"
FORWARDS — What can you say?
This is the position that has put CSUF
on the college basketball map, and in
national rankings as well. And
Bernard Thompson and Ron Anderson
are carrying on the tradition quite well.
When Grant says, "I guarantee you
that these are two ofthe better forwards
in the country," you have to believe him.
Thompson and Anderson, the Bulldogs'
dynamic duo, aren't only the best pair of
forwards on the West Coast, but a good
case could be made for the pair as the
finest in the nation.
The smooth Anderson led the Bull¬
dogs last year in scoring (16.3) free
throw percentage (.813) and blocked
shots (22). By the time the 6-7 Anderson
finally jelled late in the season, he found
himself being named as the NIT Most
Valuable Player.

season, and the results were fantastic.
He led the Bulldogs in rebounding (5.9)
and field goal percentage (:590). The
scary part is that the Bulldogs' main
weapon appeal
proved. In thcareseason he has shot, get
this, over 80 percent. Senior Cleave
Lewis is a capable swing man, but the
'Dogs will go as far as Anderson and
Thompson take them.
OUTLOOK — The nationally ranked
Bulldogs are the talk ofthe West Coast,
but the pressure doesn't seem to bother
anyone, least of all Grant. "The
pressure doesnt hurt the players, but it
could hurt my job stability," he jokes.
"Hell, I wouldn't mind being number
With three starting seniors and those
two remarkable forwards, the Bulldogs
can't help but improve on last year's
record.- Another bad start must be
avoided, but the swollen egos that tend
to go along with a national ranking are
nowhere to be found here. By the time
March rolls around, this team should be
in high gear.
There are problems, though. What
would happen if Thompson or Anderson
were to suffer an injury? Trouble, that's
The Bulldogs are Top 20, maybe even
Top 10 material. But they're still a big
center and a dependable point guard
away from any serious national title
PREDICTION — A PCAA champ¬
ionship, in both the regular season and
the conference tourney. After that,
forget the NIT, the Bulldogs just might
reach the final eight at the National
Collegiate Athletic Association's party

Marijuana: More harmful than once thought
By John Vasuirick, M.D.
Recently I watched The Chemical
People, two one-hour segments on pub¬
lic TV concerning substance abuse
among young people.
In the prcram we hear from a
. number of them describing the effects
on their lives of everything from pot and
alcohol to hard drugs. The program
also shows the parents' reactions and
the effects of a cooperative community
response.
It was a sobering program which
revived for me many poignant memo-,
ries. Back in the early 70s. when some
authorities were maintaining that pot   emotional fulfillments of their age
was harmless. I was seeing students who
were tending to withdraw into little
cliques ofpft users and gradually relin-
quishing^neir academic responsibilities.
IHcalth
x I was to learn through confer-
enceand observation that it was not just
a withdrawal from academics but a
wilhdrawl from the problems and oppor¬
tunities of adolescence and young adult
life. These young people were arriving
in their 20s not having performed the
maturational tasks or experiencing the

This maturational failure was. per¬
haps, the most serious of the long term
effects of the substance abuse.
However. I saw many sad. short term
effects as well: a promising young golfer
subject to repeated panic episodes: an
attractive young coed, daughter of a
professor, eventually hospitalized, who
