Fired coach
It's hard lo understand how
the most successful coach on the
University athletics staff can he
fired, but it's tough to second
guess a decision without know
ing all factors going into it Still,
some facts — and some of the
rationale given for the firing of
women's basketball coach Elwin
Heiny — raise doubts about
those steering the Ducks through
the perilous waters of varsity
sports.
A University administrator
justified the firing by saying in
the local paper: "... our foremost
obligation in the athletics
department is to our students."
Maybe he's unaware of an amaz
ing statistic that doesn't appear
in the box score — that only one
woman basketball player on aid
failed to graduate during
Heiny's years as coach. Or
maybe completion of degree
work by a student-athlete isn't
one of the University's foremost
concerns?
After Heiny's firing, it's hard
to tell which of two tails is wag
ging the University athletic
"dog ". 1) A capable football
coach who trips over himself
trying to navigate the second job
of athletic director; 2) A colum
nist who either is an oracle or a
front man for this athletic admin
istration.
Th*i writer gave many reasons
(most of them valid) why Rich
Brooks should he director, just
before Brooks was named athlet
ic. director. Then, days before
Heiny — who’s won more
games than any other University
coach — was fired, he wrote
about why Heiny should he
fired.
Maybe the director now is
waiting to read in The Register
Guard whom he should hire to
coach the women. If so. the Uni
versity is in more trouble than
we realized.

Through national service,
thousands will have the oppor
tunitv to pay for college by
rebuilding their communities —
serving a* teachers. police offi
cers. health care worker* and in

Summer of Service this sum
mer More than 1,000 voting
