Abstract
Recent results from CDF indicate that the inclusive cross section for jets with E(r) > 200 GeV is significantly higher than that predicted b y QCD. We describe here a simple flavor-universal variant of the ''col oron'' model of Hill and Parke that can accommodate such a jet excess, and which is not in contradiction with other experimental data. As su ch, the model serves as a useful baseline with which to compare both t he data and other models proposed to describe the jet excess. An inter esting theoretical feature of the model is that if the global chiral s ymmetries of the quarks remain unbroken in the confining phase of the coloron interaction, it realizes the possibility that the ordinary qua rks are composite particles.
