Editor's overview
Not too often do I write in this column about
out-of-school subjects but something very
noteworthy happended last weekend that has
had a profound effect on the world of sports.
Since so many of us are football fans were
all touched by the retirement of Roger
Staubach from the Dallas Cowboys. He has
been a tremendous example of what an
athlete can be. There is really notelling how-
many lives he has touched through his
preformances on the field and off the field.
How many of us cannot help but admire him
because he stands for Christian beliefs in a
world that is often very un-Christian.
Although he is Catholic he serves as an
example to all Christians. If only most
Baptists could live their convictions as he
does.
Just remember all those great games the
Hail Mary pass against Minnesota in 1975 the
miracle comeback against San Francisco in
1972 and of course his leadership in the
comeback win over Washington this year.
So long Roger
Dallas songwriter Jake Pittman and his
conhorts maybe have said it best in "Roger's
Song:"
'How can we return all the joy you've given
us?
For all the breaks and the pain that you
went through
Wherever you may go you be part of us
Without you in the game it may never be
the same.
Even though you feel it's time to retire
Thanks for being the man we all admire.
Through the years to come our goals
remain the same
Although you must depart you're still a
Cowboy in our hearts.
So long we hate to see you go Roger. So
long doesn't mean we say good-bye. So long
we hate to see you go Roger."
Five years from now he will have a
cakewalk into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
It is nothing less than he deserves for being
the ultimate football player.

Clarification
In the March 28 issue of the
Yellow Jacket the senate story
concerning the redoing of
elections said that junior
senator and vicepresidential
candidate Ted Miller asked for
a recount of the votes In the
March SA elections.
Miller did not directly ask for a
recount but votes in the vice-
president's race were recounted
after a discrepancy was found
in the cheerleader race. The
Yellow Jacket regrets any
confusion caused by the story.
