by Buzz Bourdon

Boxer Otis Grant continues to be one of Concordia's high-profile success stories. And he'd like to keep that profile intact. The third-year Recreation and Leisure student proved he's one of Canada's best young professional boxers on March 17 at the Forum, taking fewer than nine minutes to defeat Todd Nadon with a technical knockout. Despite tendonitis in his left shoulder, Grant was firmly in control for the whole fight, which ended at 2:26 of the third round. Grant is now 17-0, with 15 knockouts.

Ranked first

Ranked first by the North American Boxing Federation and 11th by the World Boxing Council, Grant retained his.Canadian middleweight champion­ ship, along with his WBC continental middleweight title.

One of the most contentious student elections in recent memory is still being fought out in CUSA, the Concordia University Students' Association. Emo­ tions have run high amid accusations of tampering with the Feb. 18-20 results and counter-accusations of intimida­ tion. The highly-charged climate has led to an appeal from administrator Donald L. Boisvert to desist from "hate literature and death threats," (see page 6).
