CU’s Warren not charged; Boyce faces hearing soon BOULDER, Colo, (AP) — Although he could still face team sanctions, University of Colorado police say starting tailback Lamont Warren was not charged with carrying an open container of alcohol. Warren, one of four Colorado athletes arrested Sunday, was not charged with anything, said CU police spokesman John Kish. Another person with Warren apparently held the open container, he said. “I don’t believe he had one (open container),” Kish said. “He was in a vehicle with an open container. My understanding was he was very cooperative.” While investigating the open container violation, police discovered Warren had failed to appear to answer a charge of unlawful use of a driver’s license Jan. 29. His scheduled court appearance on the driver’s license charge was Feb. 24. Warren could still face a one-game suspension on the failure-to-appear charge, but an open-container violation could have greatly hurt his playing status. Coach Bill McCartney suspended tailback Rashaan Salaam for last week’s Texas game for a charge of giving a policeman a false name last April. While McCartney said he will not announce suspensions, Warren alternated with James Hill and worked with the first team during Tuesday’s practice. Redshirt freshmen Thadus S wazwer and Keenan Gardner moved out of their dorms following expulsion orders, stemming from their arrests in a separate incident on weapons violations. Charges against Swazwer and Gamer are scheduled to be filed in Boulder County District Court on Thursday. Swazer is scheduled to appear at 9 a.m., Gardner at 2 p.m. The two also face a review by Kathy Marquis, CU ’ s student conduct director. According to Pauline Hale, CU’sdirectorof information, Marquis will review the case, interview the students and make a decision on any -« I don’t believe he had one (open container).

Another CU athlete arrested Sunday, basketball star Donnie Boyce, has met with coach Joe Harrington. Boyce was charged with obstructing a governmental operation following an incident in which Boulder police suspected a drug deal. ' Boyce has a hearing scheduled Sept. 23 at 9 a.m., and Harrington said he will wait for the judicial process to unfold before taking any action. Missouri basketball forward suspended for one semester COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — A second brush with the law has resulted in a one-semester suspension for Jevon Crudup, a senior forward on the Missouri basketball team. Crudup, a 6-foot-9 starting forward, was suspended after his arrest by the Missouri State Highway Patrol early Tuesday for driving while intoxicated and failing to drive on the right side of the road. On Aug. 29, he and teammate Melvin Booker were given municipal summonses for disturbing the peace after a fight at the university's Memorial Union. Coach Norm Stewart said after the first incident that he was considering a one-game suspension for each player. After the arrest Tuesday, Stewart said he would suspend the 21-year-old Crudup from the team this semester but could change the punishment when the cases are cleared. “1 just feel that at the time, with everything going on, that we need to do something, and we’re going to do it,” Stewart said. “I’m going to try to do it in Jevon’s best interest, but we’ve got the ballclub to think about and all the other things that are going on,” he said. The first semester ends Dec. 18, and the second semester begins Jan. 18. If Crudup is kept out until the end of the first semester, he would miss four regular-season games and two exhibitions. If he is held out until the start of the next term, he would miss 12 regular season games, including conference games against Kansas State and Colorado. “As to when he could be eligible and what game, that didn’t enter it,” Stewart said. “I don’t know.” WORK SMARTER. NOT HARDER. Engineering student? Smart. Math or science major? Also smart. On tests, you probably run equations over again to make sure they’re right. So you’re working harder. You don’t have to do that anymore. Not when you use the *11-68 Advanced Scientific or TI-85 Graphics Calculator, with their last equation replay feature — and many other smart functions. We’ve spent years with students like you and educators like your profes sors to develop the TI-68 and the TI-85. That’s why they’re so highly recommended. ^ ' For engineering students, the TI-68 solves up to five simul taneous equations, has complex number functions and offers formula programming. The TI-85 builds on the power of the TI-68 by adding a wide range of graphing capabil ities. Math students can handle calculus problems more easily. And technical students can see the functions for a better understanding of problems. The TI-85 also handles complex numbers. Matrices. Vectors. Lists. Strings.

So why are the Wolverines favored by 9 1/2 points Saturday at Michigan Stadium? Michigan has a better team, more motivation and the homefield advantage. While No. 11 Notre Dame struggled to beat Northwestern 27-12 last week, No. 3 Michigan looked impressive in a41-14 win over Washington State. Despite an inexperienced line, Michigan has one of the best offenses in the country. Quarterback Todd Collins has thrown nine TD passes in three career starts, running back Tyrone Wheatley is a legitimate Heisman Trophy contender, and receiver Derrick Alexander has Desmond Howard-type skills. The Wolverines also have a stingy defense. They held Washington State to 82 yards rushing, the ninth time in their last 12 games that the Wolverines have given up less than 100 yards on the ground. Notre Dame's strength is its veteran defense, which features eight senior starters. The Irish have a lot of question marks on offense, which has lost 12 players to the NFL the past two years. Freshman quarterback Ron Powlus might have made a big difference, but he broke his collarbone in a preseason scrimmage and will be out most of the season. i he biggest advantage ior Michigan is motivation. The Wolverines are convinced they have the talent and schedule to win their first national championship since 1948.
