"You am throw the records away." which comes up any time Oregon and Oregon State meet in athletics, seems appropriate for tonight's Civil War volleyball match at McArthur Court Both Oregon coach Oerry Ore gory and Oregon Stale coach David Oantl would probably jump at the i hance to forget their records and start anew The Ducks are in the Pacific* 10 Conference basement with their 0-4 record, and the Beavers are in eighth place with their 1 I start The Beavers lone win came last Saturday in Corvallis against California, a team which had defeated the Ducks 3-1 the previous evening in Eugene "It should hr ii great match." said (>rry Gregory. the Duck vol Iryhall coach "Both trains arr vrry evenly matched I don’t think they’re favored just because they lieal C.iil and we didn’t We heal Cal in the first game, and then |iist slopped playing, so we should has r done the same thing as the Dealers and have beaten Cal." Cregorv said Oregon Slate has some of the top individual play ers in the Pac-to "Shelly Smith is one of the leaders in the conference in kills." Gregory said, "and Leslie Preiss and I’anya Lifa are two of the top blockers in the country." |-or the Ducks, freshman Karis sa Meith appears to he a lock for the conference all-freshman team She is leading the Ducks with a .21B attack percentage and has already recorded 55 kills on the season Another player who is having an outstanding Pac-10 season for Oregon is LaKeina Woods Dur ing the last four matches, she has amassed 57 kills and 40 digs Saturday night, the team lakes a night off from the pressures of f’ac-10 play and welcomes hack old friends and teammates in an alumni exhibition Both Friday and Saturday's matches begin at 7pm at Mac Court.

"My No 1 goal is to make the student-athlete's experience a positive one." Brooks said "I think for the most part, it has been, and I don't want that to change "Obviously. Measure 5 is also a concern If the state of Oregon can't keep tuition at an affordable level, there's going to lie a lot of students in the slate who aren't going to la* able to afford to stay in state " With Autzen Stadium and Hayward Field recently receiving facelifts. Brooks said McArthur Qrurt — the ancient, ivy-covemd Iwisketliall court — will be next in line. "We have to address the situation at Mac Court,” Brooks said, "Obviously, it's not going to get done overnight, but it needs to be addressed." Brooks' contract runs through July 1, 1994, and he will have an extra S20.000 a year tacked on to the S97.859 annual salary he earns as a coach Byrne earned $88,000 a year at Oregon, so Brrxiks is actually taking a pay cut in his new job.

Brooks realizes following in Byrne’s footsteps will Ihj no easy task. "Bill Byrne has done a remarkable job, and in that respect, he's going to be a bard man to fol low." he said "I hope people will be a little patient I don't expect not to get some criticism, but hopefully we can gel enough people pulling in the same direction and get some good things done " • E.
