It's a wonder the government hasn't points to declared football as hazardous to his health. BSU campus humour holds that he is a Lilliputian reject. Twenty more like him, ganged up, might actually knock somebody down.

clim� atop In a country that worships its football players in the mold of Jim Brown and O.J. Simpson, a little guy like A vi Rofe is an anomaly. But 20,000 Bronco fans have taken him the 'Sky' close to their hearts. They love Rofe, Boise Broncos' "Tel Aviv Toe". He gives men in the crowd a chance to indulge in some Walter Mitty dreams. "If that little guy can make the team,in my prime I could have too," they tell their wives. To the women,he's the hottest thing to hit Boise since Paul Revere and the Raiders left ten years ago. The ladies caU him "darling" and "cute." But perhaps , more important, in his situation, he's a man who needs motherly protection. It's dangerous out there. Rofe is a character straight from a Woody Allen movie. Surrounded by hostile superiority,he manages to escape a hero in the end. His gutsy determina­ tion . . . and his brain . . . pull him through. For those screaming fans on Saturdays in Bronco Stadium,little A vi Rofe seems to represent that spirit that has made BSU football so popular. His stubborness is as pure Bronco as a last minute comeback. He came to Boise only after he overcame problems that would have discouraged Columbus. It all started last October in Las Vegas when he saw BSU lose by two points after a dramatic comeback. He knew his kicks could help the team. He was right. That year Bronco hooters were 50/61 in extra points and 1/7 in field goals. The winter he called and called and called the Bronco coaches. "Everything they did discoura£ed me," he now says. •' .but refused to break •••

His kicker status doesn't spare him from occasional maiming by frustrated linemen who think he is really a toy. Already he's been hit in the face (inten­ tionafly) and steamrolled by guys almost twice his size. Against Las Vegas he proudly threw a block for Lee Huey on a field goal fake.In that same game he-picked up a loose ball at the RebellO and ran 30 yards to near midfield where he hit the ground at Coach Tony Knap's feet.Luckily, the benevolent Rebel linemen spared his life. The result of his "run" has been dozens of unmerciful locker roomjokes. But Avi bristle's at the "Wrong Way Rofe" tag. With any hint that he was on the retreat, he insists, "I was trying to turn the corner."

"It was a- good play to kill thirty seconds. I hope we use it again to run out the clock," Rofe says. Now that he's had a taste of the runner's glory, Rofe wants to try offense again. He claims he has the size, hands, and speed to be a Bronco receiver ... at least for one play. Right now he's emotionally wound into the thick of BSU's football fortunes. His opinion is another clue that tells much In September he spoke (in Hebrew) about the pcisitive Bronco spirit.

RESEARCH: ALL THE TIME

One of the tests of civilization, Locke wrote, is its ability to preserve for study "the best that has been thought and said" by man. One of the issues that c;onstantly bedevils legisla�ures in this state is where the main tool of that effort-research-ought to be funded and housed. BSU's philosophy on research seems more in pace with what education has become-a workaday, highly accessible process in which all citizens participate, on campus and off, day and night, in classrooms and on-the-job. A case in point was laid out the other day along rows of table tops at BSU's Student Union when the university's teaching staff filled the Ada Lounge with books, pamphlets and thesis projects turned out during their working hours at a university not heavily funded as a "research" center. Yet there they were, some esoteric and many fundamental products of earnest research. They ranged from Dorothy Albertson's manual to better train a stock control clerk (now a McGraw-Hill publication) to an awesome compilation of current communications methods "The Human Transaction" of which Dr. Robert Boren is co-author.

State for scholarship funds. For example, special events, such as the Up With People concert, designated their proceeds to the scholarship fund; the new BSU parking plan proceeds are designated for scholarships; alumni mailers stress the need for scholarships; several generous . alumni have recently indicated that they had left a bequest in their will for scholarships at BSU. Wjth all this activity surrounding scholarships, I thought it would be appropriate in this column to answer some of the most-asked questions about our scholarship situation. Q. Is there reaUy a need? A. Absolutely! Scholarship funds are an item which the state legislature does not include in its appropriations for BSU. We get some scholarship money from semester student fees, and some from private contributors, such as alumni, clubs, and busi­ nesses. We also get some federal funds, but those are primarily student loans and must be repaid. Q. Why is there such a need for scholarshipfunds? A. Primarily there are two reasons. One is inflation, which affects all of us, but is particularly tough for a student. Second, is the rapid growth of Boise State during these past few years. We are probably reaching the point where our scholarship fund JERRY DAVIS, high school relations director, visits with two Homedal� students would adequately handle our student body when we were a junior college. But during the Oct. 25 Leadership Conference at BSU. About 80 students, BSU leaders enrollments have mushroomed to over 11,000 students now, and we frankly have aadfaculty took part in the worksheps. more students than we have scholarship dollars available for them. Q. Wouldyou describe need based scholarships? A. Many students don't have enough money to enter and continue college with­ . out getting financial assistance. It is a shame to see students studying hard to get a degree, but have to drop out of school for lack of funds. ,. Q. About how much money does BSU have in scholarships? Baxter Lists $ Donors A. Not much. Currently, only 1 in 6 of our students receives some sort of assis­ Scholarship gi.fts dominated contribu­ ments, C. Jan Baxter, reported that over tance. The majority of that money comes from federal sources and are either student tions received by BSU during this past $27 -thousand in private gifts for academic loan funds or designated strictly for those "in need".
