The $75,000 fine, which will be donated to the families of firefighters and police officers killed in the line of duty, is in addition to any fine the NFL might impose on Switzer, Jones said. The owner also said Switzer’s job was not in jeopardy over the incident. “Barry will be the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys,” Jones said. It is among the largest fines imposed on an NFL coach, surpassing the $30,000 that com missioner Paul Tagliabue fined then-Cincin nati coach Sam Wyche for failing to allow women reporters into the team’s locker room after a 1990 game. “I basically feel that it was appropriate,” Jones said. “It’s a serious and significant fine. I made the fine what I made it because of his role as a coach. It would have been different if he were a player.” Jones became emotional, nearly breaking into tears as he spoke of attending a team meet ing just before his news conference. “I asked our team if they would not let the pain and embarrassment that our club would go through over this not go for naught,” Jones said. Jones has worked hard this year to repair the Cowboys’ off-the-field image and was clearly embarrassed by Switzer’s arrest Monday for carrying a loaded, unlicensed .38-caliber pistol in his luggage at Dallas-Fort Worth Internation al. Switzer has said he put the gun in his bag to hide it from children visiting his home but for got to remove it before going to the airport. Jones said Switzer reacted well when told of the fine and understands that, because of his leadership role on the team, the penalty was stiffer than would be imposed on a player. “He is very responsible. He is accountable,” Jones said. “He is extremely, extremely disap pointed that this happened and very much un derstands ... what we must do and what he must say as head coach of the Dallas Cow boys.” Carrying a weapon into an airport is a third degree felony, punishable by two to 10 years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000. Law en forcement authorities said, however, that such cases are handled as misdemeanors if there are no prior felonies or weapons charges. State law says carrying a handgun without a permit is a Class A misdemeanor, punishable by up to a year in jail and a $4,000 fine. OSU: Baughman proud of successes Camping: Location convenient ■ Continued from Page 5 interest. The campground also has a day-use area and even offers an amphitheater for small gatherings and perfor mances. Fishing is allowed along the lake by the campsites. While there is water in front of some campsites, swimming is not recom mended here because of the many rocks and rapids. There is a swimming beach a few miles up the road at Lowell Park. In addition to the camp ground, there are many oth er points of interest in the area. The Dexter and Low ell dams are nearby, as well as a covered bridge on the way into the city of Lowell. Camping fees are $12 for waterfront, $10 for a single and $18 for a double. No reservations are required. To get to the Black Canyon Campground take 1-5 to the Goshen/Highway 58 exit. Follow Highway 58, for about 20 miles, until you see the Black Canyon Campground turn off. For a great weekend of camping, you couldn’t pick a nicer or more convenient location. For more information about camping in the Willamette National Forest, call 465-6521. ■ Continued from Page 5 quoting unnamed sources, said Baughman was being pushed out of the job and would be gone by the start of football season. University president Paul Riss er, a major participant in the search for a new coach for the school’s long-suffering football program last fall, was on vacation and did not attend the news con ference. Despite widespread reports that Baughman had disagreements with Risser and prominent boost ers, the university president is sued a statement thanking Baugh man “for his dedication and service to Oregon State. ” “His work has given a solid foundation to the future of inter collegiate athletics at Oregon State,” Risser said. Baughman drew criticism for his decisions to retain basketball coach Jimmy Anderson for the 1995-96 season and for keeping Jerry Pettibone as football coach after a 1-10 season in 1995. A $200,000 settlement with Pet tibone after his resignation last fall, and the failure to reach a con tract agreement with new football coach Mike Riley added heat to Baughman’s job status. His mar keting and fund-raising style also drew criticism from big-time boosters. Baughman said he was most proud of his program having a positive influence on student ath letes, the hiring of quality coach es and administrators, establish ment of a life skills program for athletes, academic success by ath letes and improvements to athletic facilities. “I believe I have done the best I can as the athletic director at this university,” Baughman said. Foremost among his burdens was a football program that hasn’t had a winning season in 26 years, the longest string of consecutive losing seasons in major-college history. His handpicked choice as head coach, Jerry Pettibone, went 13-52-1 in six seasons. The futility in football over shadowed all of Baughman’s suc cesses. “Success in football is so perva sive,’’ Baughman said, “so impor tant to everything you do.... I don’t know if you can put too much em phasis on how important it is for a football program to have success.” Baughman inherited an athlet ic department debt of $3.6 million and says it has been reduced to about $2 million. He said he bal anced six of his eight budgets. The 1996-97 fiscal budget will show a slight deficit, due in part to a de cline in football attendance. NWL: Early run support helps Greene ■ Continued from Page 5 ing strikes, and are not walking people.” The Ems’ hitting has also taken off in the first three games of this five-game series with Boise. Eugene has scored 30 runs in these three games, compared to the first series with the Hawks in Boise when they scored 19 runs in five games. Leon Roberts, the Atlanta Braves’ traveling hitting instructor who has been with the team recently, has had a hand in the Ems’ new found confidence at the plate. “Him coming up here made a lot of people have a lot more confidence in their swing,” said Mortimer, who went 2 for 5 with a run scored Wednesday. Eugene s pitchers, like its hitters, have improved from its last series with Boise. The Ems gave up 48 runs in the five games in Boise, but have held the Hawks to eight runs in the first three games of this series. Greene, who was celebrating his 23rd birthday Wednesday, was aided by early run support that gave him an eight-run cushion after three innings. In the first inning, Eugene’s Stewart Smothers knocked a single through the left side of the infield, stole second and later scored on a Mark Burke double fora 1-0 lead. In the second, Collin Wissen grounded back to pitcher Joe Gangemi with runners on second and third. Gangemi caught Manny Sanchez in no-man’s land between third and home, but threw the ball away, allowing Sanchez and Castro to score, giving the Ems a 3-0 lead. Wissen, who took second on the Gangemi’s throw ing error, scored on Hines’ single. The Ems continued their scoring spree in the third with four more runs. Mortimer and Brett Pierce hit back-to-back singles, putting runners on first and sec ond. Gangemi walked the next two hitters to load the bases. Wissen’s slow roller to first was bobbled by Paxton Stewart, bringing in the Ems’ fourth run of the game, and Hines’ single the next pitch scored two more runs for the 8-0 lead.
