FREE ADMISSION Department of Plant Pathology and Microbiology Institute of International Education(IlE) Rev. Jackson says sports owners must end ‘unjust’ hiring policies NEW YORK (AP) — Rev. Jesse Jackson met with Baseball Commis sioner Peter Ueberroth Monday, then called on the sport’s owners to do away with minority hiring policies that they know “are immoral and unjust.” Jackson characterized his session with Ueberroth, which lasted for nearly two hours, as a “planning meeting and not a confrontation.” He said he would meet again with Ueberroth and hoped to meet com missioners David Stern of the NBA and Pete Rozelle of the NFL to form an affirmative action committee that would “include all levels of lead ership” in sports as well as the com munity. “We have to work out a plan for change, and that change should be gin this year,” the civil rights leader said. “We need to set goals and a timetable for affirmative action. . . . There are people out there who are qualified for jobs who have never been considered.” Ueberroth, who called on owners in December to hire more minori ties, said in a brief statement: “I’m glad he took the time to meet with me. He had some excellent ideas and suggestions, and we will continue to be in touch as baseball develops an action plan.” Jackson, who is now considering whether to run for president as he did in 1984, threw his Chicago-based Operation PUSH into the contro versy over minority hiring in base ball earlier this month. The action was spurred by the racial remarks of Los Angeles Dodgers vice president A1 Campanis, who later was forced to resign. Campanis said on a national tele vision news program that blacks may lack some of the “necessities” for jobs such as manager and general manager. Campanis had been in vited on the show to discuss the sig nificance of Jackie Robinson break ing baseball's color barrier in 1947. “Baseball’s owners must recognize that A1 Campanis was an embarrass ment to them all,” Jackson said. While an estimated 25 percent of all baseball players are black or His panic, there are no black managers, general managers or owners. Jackson said any coalition for af firmative action should include other civil rights leaders, sports ex ecutives, minority athletes and other minorities involved in professional sports. could be "monitored asjol up " He said future meetings would determine goals. “The courts have indicated that such goals should Ik* established according to popula tion," Jackson said. He said goals “We know there is attriiioiu that jobs will be available,"Jatli said in a sidewalk newsconferewi f ront of the Park Avenue bi that serves as baseball’s b ters. "Owners must see the and cost effectiveness”ofal ac tion, he said. Whi le not ruling out a boycott of baseball as a to battle to open doors, he'said it not a "matter of discussion n ^ point.” He said that Hispanics women, as well as blacks, eluded in affirmative ; grams. “So much of the psychob our nation is caught upinatbl Jackson said, noting the u[ feet on the country of such ail accomplishments as Joe Loi’tj mg victory over Max Sdimtl^ 1938, Jesse Owens'triumphal lormances at the 1936Berlii pics and Robinson's entry major leagues in 1947. “Owners must know their policies are immoral andunjas that the broad base of Ad people will not accept them ' son said. “But we need not dm cm the basis of threats." Knicks fire head coach and GM NEW YORK (AP) — The New York Knicks dismissed Coach Bob Hill and general manager Scotty Stirling Monday, in the wake of a 24- 58 NBA season and a third straight last-place finish. T he announcement was made by Richard Evans, the new president of Madison Square Garden Corpora tion. Hill, who had served as an assis tant coach with the club, replaced Hubie Brown as head coach last Dec. 1 and posted a 20-46 record includ ing six straight losses at the end of the season after the return of in jured star forward Bernard King. Stirling was hired Jan. 3, 1986, re placing former Knicks’ star Dave De- Busschere as the team’s front-office boss. The Knicks, however, contin ued to founder and Stirling was un der fire for a number of his trades. Since finishing third in 1983-84 and losing in a seven-game playoff to the eventual world champion Bos ton Celtics, the Knicks have been un able to escape the Atlantic Division cellar for three years. The team's re cord over those thn 71-173. seasons was Evans, who moved to the Garden from Radio City Music Hall on Jan. 1, said the decision on the changes had been made last week. “Obviously, I have been assessing the team since I arrived at the begin ning of January,” he said. “And 1 know' that no one particular situa tion caused it. 1 just felt that we were not headed in the right direction. It was a feeling on my part that we needed to start with a fresh slate." Evans said he had no particular timetable for filling the positions or whether he would consider one man Seko runs to victory in Boston Marathon BOSTON (AP) — Japan’s To- shihiko Seko broke away from the pack going up Heartbreak Hill and won the Boston Marathon for the second time Monday in a slowly paced race featuring an elite field and marred by two acci dents. For the 30-year-old Seko, the winner in 1981, it was his eighth victory in his last nine marathons. But his time of 2 hours, 11 min utes, 50 seconds, was disappoint ing in view’ of the expected fast race. Meanwhile, 1984 Olympic bronze medalist Rosa Mota, run ning the Boston Marathon for the first time, was the first women’s finisher, clocking 2:25:21, the third-fastest ever by a woman in this race. She led all the way and never was threatened in posting her seventh victory in 10 mar athons. Seko’s only marathon defeat since 1979, after he finished third in his first Boston Marathon, came in the 1984 Olympics at Los Angeles, where he finished 14th. This victory was surprisingly easy, in view of the quality of the field, considered one of the best — if not the best — ever assem bled in this 91st running of the i Boston Marathon. It included de fending champion Rob de Cas- tella of Australia, ranked No. 2 in the world; Juma Ikangaa of Tan zania, ranked No. 1; Steve Jones of Wales, ranked No. 1 in 1985 and the second-fastest mar athoner in history; Olympic silver medalist John Treacy of Ireland, and two-time Boston winner Ge off Smith of England. But once Seko, the world’s fourth-ranked marathoner, made his decisive surge at the “killer" point of the race with about six miles to go, he was in command. He won by 47 seconds over Jones, who clocked in at 2:12:37. Smith wound up third in 2:12:42 and Dave Gordon of Eu gene, Ore., was fourth in 2:13:30. De Castella, finishing sixth, nearly met disaster at the outset. Race officials were slow in get ting the rope out of the way of the starters as the race was about to begin. De Castella tripped over the rope and tumbled, scraping his hands and knees. After rolling over and nearly getting trampled by the stampede of runners, he got up quickly and resumed run ning. The other incident occurred shortly after the start of the wheelchair division, which began 15 minutes before the open com petition. Four wheelchairs col lided, knocking two of the com petitors out of the race with minor abrasions. f this summer. ^ N Hwy. 6 Bypass 130 PLJNISTIOtt Post Oak Mall OAKS g i X Texas Ave The TAMU shuttle buses will only make a few stops this summer and Plantation Oaks is one of them.
