to run in hatioha llllilllliiil buzz about campus Accent The Western Front VOL. 80, NO. 57 WESTERN WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY, BELLINGHAM, WA Football coach loses job 'Time for a change' By Herb Reich of The Western Front Head football coach Paul Hansen's contract will not be renewed, and the search is on for a replacement for the 1989 season. The decision, made by Director of Athletics Lynda Goodrich, was announced Wednesday. "Li coaching you're constantly evaluated," Goodrich said. "We just decided it was time for a change." The decision to look for a new coach is part of Western's commitment to excellence in athletics, Goodrich said. "It has more to do with where we want to go," Goodrich said. Goodrich did not give specific reasons why Hansen's contract will not be renewed. Hansen issued a prepared statement Wednesday afternoon. "First, I would like to thank the assistant coaches, players, university peers and wonderful people in the community, who have given me tremendous support for the past six years," Hansen stated. "I will miss the players and all of those associated with the football program. The groundwork has been established and I am pleased with the teams' potential for the future." Hansen was unavailable for any further comments. The "change" is part of Goodrich's overall plan of taking Western athletics to the top. "We're totally committed to bringing the football program to the championship level," Goodrich said. "I did not come in with any pre-conceived notions," she added. "But, there are on-going evaluations, and that means sometimes making hard decisions, sometimes unpopular." "I've been here for 18 years and I'm a graduate," Goodrich said. "I'm here to make decisions for this university for the long run." Telephone calls are pouring in from potential coaches to fill the vacancy. "I have already received numerous calls from potential applicants and advice from others on who to pick," Goodrich said. see HANSEN, p.5 wstey/ihe Front Former Viking football coach Paul Hansen inspects his team while they do calisthenics shortly before their loss to PLU. Players have mixed feelings By Herb Reich of The Western Front Football players were shocked to hear their head coach, Paul Hansen, will not return for the 1989 season. The football team learned Hansen would not be back at the same time the public did. Hansen met with the team Thursday to explain his contract would not be renewed. "It is hard for me to find justification for what they (the athletic department) did," said Kelly Susee, a strong safety. "It was strange for me because the players were in the dark about it. We were hearing it at the same time as everyone else. "He knew the Monday before the PLU game and he didn't let us know anything was wrong," Susee said. "I think that is great." Players disagreed about Hansen's coaching abilities. "I'm shocked about the whole thing," said senior kicker Peter LaBarge. "I've got mixed emotions," LaBarge said. "I think its too bad because everything was on the rise. There was some player-coach communication problems. Some people quit during the year who thought they were being mistreated." Defensive end Rudy Grandbois said a play would be called repeatedly when aplay was working, but sometimes a play would be repeated when it was not working. "I feel Hansen was trying. I think if he would have had a few more assistant coaches he might have done better. Some of the guys were not to happy with the plays he was calling," Grandbois said. see PLAYERS, p.5 FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 18,1988 Students shun sexual harassment By Gail Skurla of The Western Front Sexual harassment is illegal, intolerable and a problem on campus, said Connie Copeland, director of the Office for Student Life, during a panel discussion Tuesday on sexual harassment. The panel, part of "Power and Sex Week," was sponsored by the Associated Students Human Resource Program. See related stories on p.3 Swan Dahmouh, a Fairhaven graduate and panelist, spoke about sexual harassment she said she received from a Western professor last year. Last year she and another student filed a joint sexual harassment complaint. Dahmouh said she "felt a lack of trust... and safety" about taking a class with the professor. She didn't elaborate on what happened, but noted she "walked around with a lot of anger." Filing a formal complaint helped her regain her self-esteem, she said. The university administration was "a place for me to turn." Dahmouh said the university acknowledged her statements, and when the professor didn't accept the university's sanctions, he quit his job. "What I did was right," Dahmouh said. Western first identified sexual harassment as an issue in 1979, Copeland said, and she noted the slow growth of awareness on campus. "The biggest confusion surrounding (sexual harassment) is what it is and what it isn't," she said. see HARASSMENT, p. 3 Presentation exposes pornography victims By Erika Williams of The Western Front Linda Carr Pornography is used to perpetrate violence against women, emphasize racial and gender inequality, and expose men's and women's sexual identities. Linda Carr, a Fairhaven student in Women's Studies, presented this view at a pornography forum Thursday at the Viking Union as part of Power and Sex Week. She recently was involved in the passage of Initiative 1-C, limiting pornography in Bellingham. "It's an intertwining of power and sex. It's important for people to see it and what its messages are," she said. Pornography, an $8 million industry, is becoming more available and bringing violence into the home. Gas stations, convenience stores and video rentals have contributed to the growing trade. "Pornography contributes to the (stereotyped) impression of all women through crimes against individual women. It helps to reinforce those beliefs about what men and women are," Carr explained. As laws now exist, it is legal to sell films showing rape for profit, she said. Victims have no power to remove such films from distribution, even if the victim can prove in a court of law the crime was committed against his or her will. "Every day, that woman is raped again. She has no control over that," Carr said. Her presentation centered" on the film "Pornography: A Practice of Inequality," compiled between 1983 and 1985 by Organizing Against Pornography: A Resource Center for Education and Action, based in Minneapolis. A "sampling" of different categories of pornography is represented. Violence and sex in advertising, women being brutalized by men and murder as the ultimate sexual experience are represented in various magazines currently in circulation. "Power is always the central issue. The reality is that women have limited choices ... therefore they end up doing things they don't want to do," Carr said. Nearly 70 percent of women involved with pornography were victims of incest, she said. Other women are forced to remain in the industry through blackmail. "This is not just a bunch of dirty old men. It is becoming a normal part of our society. We've got a whole system of inequality and hierarchy in society (to accept pornography)," said Carr. Audible reactions from the presentation included expression of shock, disgust and anger. "I was shocked at the availability of this kind of material," an audience member said.
