Davis announces In-state’ recruiting plan
By Debbie Howlett
Ol the Emerald
Oregon's higher education Chancellor
Bud Davis announced a game plan"
Friday to attract Oregon's outstanding
high school students to in-state institu
tions
"I want to go after students like a
football team would go after a 6'4" quar
terback with a 4 0 grade point average
who can throw with either hand," Davis
said "The key to this is aggressive
recruiting "
Davis outlined his "campaign for ex
cellence" at the State Board of Higher
Education s meeting on the Oregon
State University campus Friday Davis
said he is concerned about the number
of outstanding students who opt for
out-of-state schools
Asking for nearly 200 “Presidential
Scholarships" of $1,000 each, Davis
outlined a five-point plan — with the
scholarships as the ' keystone" — that
mcludes more strict admissions stan
dards, improved teacher training,
stronger general education programs
and a revitalized high school and com
munity college relations program.
"If our best high school graduates go
to California for their post-secondary
educations, they are likely to remain (in
California)," Davis said.
''To stop this 'brain drain’ and ultima
tely bring new vitality to the state, we
must both provide incentives for
students to stay here and then give them
the high quality programs they deserve, '
he said
"We ll raise the money from private
subscriptions. It will not be awarded on a
need basis but by ability and perfor
mance," Davis said. “We will recognize
talent and reward it where it is”
Davis said all institution presidents
.received the scholarship plan warmly
when he spoke with them. The plan calls
for each of the three state universities to
provide 50 scholarships the first year and
each of the regional colleges, along with
the Oregon Institute of Technology, to
provide 10 scholarships. Funds will
come from private donations and may, if
the donor wishes, bear his or her name.
"Hopefully the numbers will grow as
more of the public comes to see the value
of the program," Davis said. "We are
asking private citizens and businesses to
invest in Oregon's best and brightest
students. These will be investments in
the future, which can pay incalculable
dividends for the state of Oregon.”
In other business, the board adopted a
policy and a code of conduct for inter
collegiate athletics.
The policy contains a general state
merit about the purpose and intent of
intercollegiate athletics at system insti
tutions as well as a "code of ethics”
which establishes guidelines for conduct
of student-athletes and coaches.
"All we've done is update previous
policy so that it reflects a change in
tunding!” said Richard Perry, director of
management and planning for the state
system.
"This policy represents a major step
that will enable the presidents and athle
tic directors to operate with considerable
control, yet I don't think in any way will it
stifle coaches," Perry said..
One change was proposed for the
policy. Ed Harms, a Springfield lawyer
and past board president, suggested
adding a paragraph to the code of ethics
that stressed the importance of earning a
degree while competing in intercol
legiate athletics.
Salazar kicks past Gomez to take marathon
NEW YORK (AP) — Alberto Salazar conserved his
energy and powered past Mexico's Rodolfo Gomez in
the stretch Sunday, winning the New York City Marath
on for the third consecutive year
With a dramatic finish, Salazar completed the
26-mile, 385-yard trek in 2 hours, 9 minutes, 29
seconds
“I was saving it (energy) for my last surge,” said the
confident Salazar, who is unbeaten in four marathons,
including last April's Boston Marathon
The 24-year-old Cuban native, who now lives and
trains in Eugene, needed every ounce of energy to
outlast the dogged Gomez, 31, undefeated in three
previous marathons this year.
The 1-2 finish by Salazar and Gomez matched their
positions in the 1980 New York City Marathon But two
years ago, Salazar won handily This time, Gomez gave
him a fight to the finish.
Starting near the 21-mile mark of the run through
the city’s five boroughs, the two ran side-by-side, never
more than a step or two apart until they headed for the
finish line in Central Park.
Then, the bigger, stronger Salazar made his win
ning surge through a cloud of dirt, finally putting away
the gritty Gomez, who was clocked in a personal best of
2:09:33.
After the two crossed the finish line, they embraced
warmly, knowing they had produced a scintillating
"Duel in the Sun,” before a huge national television
audience and a crowd estimated at three million spec
tators along the route.
Another embrace at the finish line took place
between Grete Waitz and her husband Jack, after the
29-year-old Norwegian won the women s race for the
fourth time in five years Finishing a marathon for the
first time since winning the New York City event for the
third straight time in 1980, she was timed in 2:27:14
Both winners were short of the world-bests, set in
this race last year — 2:08:13 by Salazar and 2:25:29 by
New Zealander Allison Roe, who was unable to defend
her title this year because of an Achilles tendon injury.
The men’s race was expected to be reminiscent of
the Boston Marathon, where Salazar outkicked Dick
Beardsley by two seconds But Beardsley suffered a leg
cramp at about the nine-mile mark and finished 30th.
"I'm sorry I didn’t give Al a better race,” Beardsley
said "I felt very prepared and confident, but I just didn’t
have it today." »
Instead, it was Gomez who fought it out with the
favored Salazar.
