After four years, Swartz to move on
By JODY MURRAY
Ol the Emerald
Four years is enough time to
stay in one place, Associate
Athletic Director Ed Swartz said
Tuesday after announcing he is
seeking employment elsewhere.
"I felt I had to come out pub
licly now instead finding a new
position first and then an
nouncing my resignation,”
Swartz said. There are some
schools he has in mind in his
search for an athletic director
position, "but I’m not at liberty
to say which one.
“If I weren’t at Oregon, I
wouldn't do this (announ
cement), but Oregon is such a
tight-knit group that my inten
tions would have squeezed out
somewhere anyway."
Oregon’s associate athletic
director since 1978 and staff
member since 1977, Swartz is in
charge of the men's coaching
staffs, the business office and
the athletic news bureau. He is
responsible for all the Oregon

booster clubs.
"At Oregon State, there are
three people doing what I do,”
he said, but denies his workload
has anything to do with his
decision.
A story in Tuesday's Oregon
ian asserted Athletic Director
John Caine was dissatisfied
with Swartz’s performance and
others were angered at his.
defense of Dwight Robertson
when the football player was
indicted for sodomy in Sep
tember.
Caine denied the charge
Tuesday. "Not one of the staff
members has an easy load.
We’re very understaffed here.
Ed’s probably doing more than
any other staff member.”
Acting University Pres. Paul
Olum addressed the latter ac
cusation at Tuesday morning’s
"state of the University” ad
dress.
Swartz ‘‘fell into University
disfavor after standing up for
Dwight Robertson,” Olum said.
“The final decision to let
Robertson play was made by me
after consulting with several
people.
The Oregonian story “is the
first time I ever heard Ed Swartz
had an opinion on the subject,"
Olum said.
Swartz agreed his position
with Robertson was unpopular
but said it isn't part of his deci
sion to leave. “A person in my
position gets a lot of bruises. I'm
sure I didn’t win a lot of votes.”
Swartz said he might have
resigned last year if not for the
scandal. “I didn't think it was
the right time to leave these
people."
Wrestlers struggle past Portland State
Oregon’s wrestling team put
down a strong effort by Portland
State to take a 30-11 win Tues
day night
Rick O’Shea led the Ducks’
cause by pinning PSU's Ken
Carter just 15 seconds into their
match. Dan Cook fought off the
flu long enough to staple Brian
Bankhead for another first
round pin.
“PSU wrestled extremely well
and really made us compete
tonight,” said Duck coach Ron
Finley.
"We had a few very good
performances, but on the
whole, we didn’t do so well,”
continued Finley.

Nugent both won by decisions,
and Ryan Kelly took a dis
qualification because of
stalling. Mike Erb won a super
ior decision to round out the
Duck scoring.
"Rick O’Shea’s pin was one
of the fastest that we have ever
had,” said Finley. “He was fired
up tonight and when he saw his
chance he jumped on it.
"Portland State has seven
good competitors who can beat
anybody at anytime," Finley
said. "They pushed us hard
tonight and some of our wres
tlers responded and some of
them didn’t."
"The match was much closer
than the final score indicated,”
said Finley. "Well just have to
keep working and improve on
this.”
