Oregon loss to Utah not the end of the world
Yosterday's big nows wasn’t the first day of classes
It wasn't how f.ist your Spanish GTT talked for SO
minutes and how you left class not understanding a
word It wasn't how hard the parties raged on the last
weekend of the summer And it certainly wasn't about
how good the cafeteria forxl was last week
It was alxrut the Ducks and how disappointed you
were that they actually had the nerve to lose a football
game at Utah on Saturday night, 24-17
But it could lx' worse (a lot worse), and not too long
ago, it was.
Don't forget that despite losing to Utah, Oregon is
still 2-1 and does not have a Pacific-10 Conference loss
yet. Don't forget that this learn still has the potential to
be the best-ever under Coach Rich Brooks And don't
forget that y'all could be going to Oregon State, where
they are already looking forward to the basketball sea
son.
After the Oregon loss to a seemingly hungrier Utah
team, the once-prlstlne glass frail of faith in the Ducks,
held in the hands of students and other fans alike, suf

University junior Allison Hu
ber leaves today for the Nation
al Crew Championships to he
held in Austin, Texas, Sept
27-28.
Upon her arrival in Austin,
Heber, a memlrer of the Seattle
Yacht Club, will begin training
for the national competition,
sponsored by U S Rowing
Heber, the a d v e r t i s -
ing/public-.ity coordinator for
the ASIJO, is also p.irt of the
women's crow team in Club
Sports. However, Oregon failed
to qualify for the champion
ships so the Seattle group re
cruited her at the beginning of
the summer.
"They just sort of recruited
me and asked me to join, so 1
said OK,” said Heber, a pre
journalism major.
The Seattle Yacht Club is one
of the top teams in the world,
winning numerous events at
the world and national chain
pionships last year, Helier said
In addition, Stan Pocock, He
tier's coach at Seattle, is a name
well-known among rowing cir
cles. Pocock's father invented
the Pocock Racing Shell, used
by “a good 20 percent of all
collegians and r>0 percent of all
American rowers, Het>er said
Metier said the I’ocock txials
are more popular tx'ouuso they
give a more '‘comprehensive
approach to rowing," such as
fitting the shape of the at tual
rowers.
Her team is favored to win a
number ot events again this,
year. Holier said "This team
went to (tile) world's (champi
onship) last year and tile year
before and won a lot of events
Holier also expressed high
confidence in her own ability
"I'm sure I'll come homo
with medals," Metier said "1
know that's a co< kv thing to
say, hut hey
Nonetheless, Metier was
somewhat shocked bv tier sue
( ess as a rower, considering stie
didn't even begin crew until
last fall with the University
team. "It just sort of happened
all at one e," she said
Metier was a coordinator with
tile crew program last year, hut
she will work with tile novice
program tiiis year
A recruiting meeting for all
women interested in joining the
University crew team will tie
held early next month Metier
said the meeting is set ior Oi t
