• Most Disturbing Trend of the
Year — A tie between the intru
sive gender equity programs
being forced on the University
and the even more intrusive Inci
dental Fee Committee claiming
to not in the best interest of stu
dents.
Although the University's ath
letic department is in debt and
no women's spons at the school
generate revenue, proponents of
gender equity are trying to per
suade the University to add
another women's sport. Those in
favor of this idea say another
women's team must tie added so
the scholarship distribution
between men and women will be
equal.
All decisions made by the Ore
gon athletic department should
be made in the interest of reduc
ing the budget, something an
additional women's team would
not do.
The !FC re< ♦>nllv reduced the
athletic department''* budget
even further, which resulted in a
$2 surcharge for all home foot
ball and basketball games. This
is an important dec ision that
will affect the thousands of stu
dents who attend these games
each year, and these students
should have had a say in what
happened.
• Best New Sports Trend of the
Year — The pro-active attitude
Oregon head football coac h and
athletic director Rich Brooks has
taken toward moving the program
forward. Two examples exhibit
this change
First, when the Ducks lost the
Independence Bowl against Wake
Forest in December. Brooks was
visibly disappointed even though
the team finished 6-6. The Ore
gon football teams were so bad
during the 1970s and early 1980s
that when it began to move for
ward in the late 1980s. I expec t
ed the coaches to be satisfied
with just going to a bowl game.
Instead, Brooks' disappoint
ment in the Ducks' folding-chair
act in the second half has shown
he is not satisfied by just tread
ing water. Brooks and his coach
es know Oregon football can
reach an even higher plateau in
the future and have shown the
Ducks are willing to work toward
this.
Secondly, the firing of
women’s basketball coach FI win
Homy showed Brooks and the
rest of the athlete department an*
taking a strong inten*st in siting
em h sport succeed Reaction has
been mixed as to whether the hr’
ing was justifn*d. hut then* < an tie
no doubt it sends a message to all
Oregon coaches that winning is
not the only thing, hut it is impor
tant.
• The Charles Barkley "I’m
not-a-role-model" Award — To j
the members of the Oregon foot
ball team who have found it
tough to stay out of trouble in the
past t2 months. At least nine
members of the team have lieen
i ited by polU e or disi i pi tiled by
the team since last spring
I know it is unfair to put these
1H to 2 I vear olds on a pedestal,
but lining a kid who grew up idol
izing the Ducks of the mid- 1080s,
1 know kids look up to the play
ers today |usl the fact these
young men are wearing the Ore
gon green and yellow makes
them larger than life to these kids,
and that makes it tough to swal
low some of the idiotic acts these
players have committed in the
past year
• The Exception to the Rule
Award — To Eric Castle, Ronnie
Harris. Jeff Cummins and Antho
ny Jones, four Oregon players
who avoided the headlines dur
ing their careers and now have
opportunities to play in the NF1.
