The Spurs’ point guard had no turn- overs. “Our defensive intensity was through the sky,” said Robinson, the league's MVP. “Thelast couple of games we were disjointed.” Robinson scoredsix of his 29 points during an 11-2 outburst that put the Spurs ahead 100-91 with 2:05 to play. But, as usual, the de- fending NBA champions didn’t die easily. The Rockets pulled within three, 103-100, on an Olajuwon three-pointer with 82 secondsleft “But Johnson made two free throws with 26 seconds to go, then made oneof two with 16 seconds remaining to makeit 106-100. “We were overdue for a performance and we finally got one,” San Antonio coach BobHillsaid.

Del Negro, who had only 12 points in the first two games against the Rockets, had 19 points on 7-for-14 shooting from the field. He was 3 for 7 on three-pointers, giving the Spurs the offense they didn’t have before. “Vinny is a player that we need to be involved,” Spurs “Vinnyiis the outside part. We want him comfortable. He got his shots and hurt them tonight.” Johnson matched Del Negro’s comeback gamewith 20 points and 13 assists and stretch hitting five of six free throwsover thefinal 45 seconds when the Rockets were trying to get back into the gamewith three-pointers. Johnson played the game with a right ankie he sprained in Game 2. “It got sorer and sorer as the game went on,” said Johnson, whodid not have a turnover.“I told [coach] Bob Johnson and Del Negro each played only 17 minutes in Game 2 and each scored four points. “They stepped up when they had to so you have to give them credit,”’ Houston’s Hakeem Olajuwonsaid. Robinson scored 29 points and Sean Elliott added 21 points for the Spurs but the Rockets gave Del Negro and Johnsoncredit for the Spurs’ comeback. “We knew David and Sean would play well but those other guys stepped up and “We need some guysto step up other than Dream and Clyde [Drexler].” Del Negrosaid he was glad to have his shooting touch “T got the shots I'm accus- tomed to getting," Del Negro said. “I was aggressive.

Navajo student Thom Ranger, in a meeting Thursday with Signpoststaffers, also encouraged the paper to be more sensitive to American Indians. But while the student government's action raised the newspaper's hackles, Ranger's presentation raised its awareness. “The staff was really moved by what Thomsaid,”” Signpost news editor Gary Hindssaid Thursday. The paper opposed the student government's action, however, on First Amendmentgrounds. The resolution passed by the Associated Students of WeberState University Senate resurrected controversy generatedlast fall the Signpost headline “Lady Utes scalp Wildcat: The campus newspaper immediately stopped using terms American Indians might consider offensive, Hinds said, but “therestill is some misunderstanding about our commitment to minority concerns,” The student government resolution states that “there is a strong diverse constituency on campus,” and “there is a strong sentiment amongthediverse communitythat these phrases are degrading and stereotypical.”” It recommendsthat the Signpost “discontinue the derogatory use ofcross culture slogans and mascots in their print.” StudentPresident Chris Hatchsaid he “mostlike- ly” will sign the resolution, addingit is a reeommendation, not a mandate. Further, student government and the student newspaperare funded independently, so the resolution doesnot carry an implied threat to the Signpost’s budget. The student government's effort to influence the student newspaper's editorial decisions struck some as prior restraint, but Hatch said he regardsit simply as a ‘a plea from a group for moresensitivity. I don’t haye a problem with that.” Several college campuses around the countryare re-examining their team nicknames and mascots in an effort to be more culturally sensitive. Weber State already has a culturally neutral mascot and nickname with “Wildcats.” But Ranger said the offense occurs when the newspaper refers to other teams. The Signpost should not use nicknames such as “Braves” and “Redskins,” said Ranger, adding he also considers the University of Utah nickname Runnin’ Utes” to be offensive. The U. dropped “Redskins” in the early 1970s, and uses the “Utes’ name under a licensing agreement with the Ute tribe. The Signpost, like the Portland Oregonian should simply refer to such teams as “the Washington team” or the “Atlanta team’ until the franchises change their names, Ranger said. The Salt Lake Tribune's policy is to avoid useof the term “Redskins.” -or- UP TO $3,100 LESS Sot Lote tory, his first of the s Weber Newspaper Urged to Avoid Some Nicknames foul.
