Students laud, blast, tolerate P.E. policy
By TED KAPNICK

"Please have your fee card and ID
card ready,” is the new greeting to all
who desire to use the activity level at
Esslinger Hall
State budget cuts have slapped
students, facultystaff and the outside
community with a users' fee Access to
the recreation area is also restricted to
one back door, and barbed wire sur
rounds the playing fields
"Now that we are not funded fully (by
the state), we have to make the
students and community pay," says
Diane Baxter, the head of service pro
grams at the physical education
department
Baxter noted all state universities and
colleges in Oregon are charging
students University students are not
paying to use the facilities this term

Students’ reaction ranges from indif
ference, to anger, to favor regarding
the limited access and the requirement
to present a stamped fee card to enter
the recreation area Many have adjust
ed, and flash their fee card as they
hurry by a watchful guard
However, one student fumbling
through his backpack to find the card,
expressed a common sentiment
“I don't know where my card is,” said
Will Anderson, searching in vain for the
precious card "It’s a hassle — a major
hassle "
There were other comments.
"It has made P E inaccessible to
students,” junior Jim Harshaw says.
"It's a guard house,” he says, referring
to the barbed wire and locked doors.
"I think it’s better than the whole
public using the facilities.” says Todd
Walker. Walker works in the equipment
room at Esslinger
Despite more room for students in
the facilities now that non-students are
prevented from using them, people still
are reluctant to accept the abrupt
change in the way things are being
handled at Esslinger.
"In three or four years they (students)
won’t think anything about it," Baxter
says. "It’s still a shock to me," she says,
“I have to show a pass too.”
Walker has already adjusted to the
system.
"You take your pencil and pad to go
to classes, so why can’t you take your
fee card to go to PE?” he says.
Yankees jump to 2-0 lead
John blanks Dodgers in second game of Series
NEW YORK (AP) - Tommy
John capped a year of tribula
tion with seven innings of
three-hit pitching and Rich
Gossage applied his relief
magic for the second straight
night as the New York Yankees
defeated the Los Angeles
Dodgers 3-0 Wednesday night
and took a two-game lead in the
1981 World Series
John limited the Dodgers to
three singles two by Steve Gar
vey, before leaving for a pinch
hitter in the seventh inning He
pitched flawlessly for four in
nings, retiring the first 12 men
he faced
Gossage recorded his second
straight World Series save and
sent the Yankees to Los
Angeles for Game 3 Friday
night
The Yankees broke the scor
eless tie in the fifth inning Ran
Lowly Seattle
keeps Patera,
keeps trying
SEATTLE (AP) — Judging the
struggling Seattle Seahawks oft
their 32-0 whitewashing at the
hands of the New York Giants in
the Kingdome last Sunday, they
may be the worst team in
professional football
They were blown out 35-17
the previous week in the Hous
ton Astrodome and now have
dropped 15 of their last 16
games The immediate future
looks dismal
Of course, picking the Na
tional Football League's very
worst team is highly subjective
But the Seahawks certainly
rate as a contender for that
dubious distinction After seven
weeks, the Seahawks are one of
five 1-6 teams in the 28-club
NFL The others are New Or
leans, Baltimore, Washington
and Chicago
General manager John
Thompson and managing gen
eral partner Herman Sarkowsky
insist Seattle head Coach Jack
Patera's job isn't in jeopardy
Asked what would happen if
the Seahawks wound up 1-15, a
record that has to be con
sidered a possibility off Seattle's
dismal performance against the
Giants, Thompson replied,
"That's pure speculation We re
not going to go 1-15."
dolph led off with a hard
grounder that skipped off the
glove and up the chest of
Dodgers second baseman
Davey Lopes for an error John
sacrificed Randolph to second
and, one out later, Milbourne
came to bat In the previous half
inning, an error by Milbourne
almost had allowed the Dodgers
to break through against John
The utility infielder, playing
regularly since Bucky Dent suf
fered a torn ligament in his
hand, worked the count against
Dodgers right-hander Burt
Hootonto3-2 The switch-hitter,
batting left, sent the next pitch
down the left field line The
blooper got over the head of
third baseman Ron Cey and
Randolph scored easily
Hooton lasted through six in
nings, allowing one earned run
in 27 2-3 post-seasopn innings.
