that is what the public wants. It’s the
nature of the business.”
Another side to increasing media
and public exposure is getting games
broadcast on radio and television. A
contract was signed with WTAW Ra
dio to broadcast ten basketball
games this season.
Home Sports Entertainment also
will carry two games this season and
if A&M makes it to the conference
tournament final, they will be on
again. A&M is the only school that
will have two games broadcast. All
others will have only one.
At least two student groups that
attend women’s games and are try
ing to encourage more students to
attend.
Robin Bernstein, a freshman busi
ness administration major from
Bryan, is a member of the Dunn
Hall Bleacher Bums group that at
tends the volleyball games as a
group.
“It’s real hard to get students
from the dorm to come out,”
Bernstein said. “The first couple of
f ames we had a pretty large group
ut after that, it died down because
people get too busy. We are trying to
get all classifications to come out, es
pecially the lower classes so that they
will keep the tradition going.”
The Bleacher Bums put out signs
around the Commons and have
made up T-shirts to try to help ad
vertise.
“I grew up around volleyball be
cause my whole family was con
stantly playing in leagues. People
just don’t know how exciting of a
sport it is,” Bernstein said.
Another group that attends all the
games is the women’s soccer team.
They have made up towels for them
selves that resemble the 12th Man
towels of the football team. Their
towels are 7th Man towels because
there are six players on the court for
each team at a time.
They said that the main reason
people don’t come out is because this
is a football school and they don’t
really know what excitement volley
ball has to offer.
With the radio and television con
tracts and the Maroon Club, thert
could be an increase in attendanceat
women’s spectator sports at A&M,
But the bottom line is winning.
Krauskopf said, “People are be
ginning to see that we are here. We I
realize that it takes years and that it
will all fall in place eventually. It’s I
just the waiting that seems like for
ever. But things are happening for
us and I hope it continues to do so.”

Baseball winter meetings
Leagues' expansion committees merge
DALLAS (AP) — Baseball
moved forward on expansion
Wednesday while Kirk Gibson,
Bob Welch and Phil Bradley
dominated trade talk on the final
day of the winter meetings.
After all 26 owners met, Com
missioner Peter Ueberroth an
nounced that the American and
National League expansion com
mittees had merged.
“Both committees felt there
was enough interest and the tim
ing was now to discuss this whole
subject and come up with some
thing that’s more formative than
there has been in the past,”
American League President Dr.
Bobby Brown said.
This is the furthest baseball has
advanced on the subject since To
ronto and Seattle were added in
1977.
Ueberroth cautioned, how
ever, that expansion was not im
minent. He said baseball first had
to resolve its labor and television
contracts in December 1989,
making any new franchises un
likely until the early 1990s at the
soonest.
Several teams faced the pros
pect of leaving the meetings with
out making any moves. ,
There were five trades involv
ing 11 major league players
through Tuesday, but none
Wednesday.
There were some big deals in
the works that could be com
pleted in the near future.
The New York Yankees,
usually the most busy club at
these swap marts, talked about
making their first trade. It would
have been a big one — they of
fered Dave Winfield to Detroit
for Gibson. The Tigers turned it
down.
“I told them we’re not going to
talk about it anymore,” Tigers
Genral Manager Bill Lajoie said.
Detroit recently met with
Seattle about a Bradley-for-Gib-
son deal. Those talks are dead,
and Philadelphia is now first in
line for Bradley with its offer of
outfielder Glenn Wilson and
pitcher Mike Jackson.
Pitching remained most in de
mand and several teams were ap
proaching Los Angeles about
Welch.The New York Mets still
want him for a package of Jesse
Orosco, Mookie Wilson and Ra
fael Santana.
The Dodgers hoped for some
thing more, maybe Toronto’s
Lloyd Moseby and others.
The Chicago Cubs, who sent
Lee Smith to Boston on Tuesday,
had considered sending Keith
Moreland to Detroit. Those pros
pects also seemed remote.
Baltimore and Seattle were still
discussing exchanging pitchers
Ken Dixon and Mike Morgan, al
though Mariners owner George
Argyros apparently stepped in
and vetoed the deal.
There was no movement on
free agents.
Bob Horner spent the af
ternoon sitting in the large
atrium of the hotel where the
meetings are, waiting for custom
ers. None came, and he was left
with the same choice he had when
he drove 20 miles from his home
to the meetings — Atlanta or
Texas.
“If we can’t get something
done in our own backyard, I
don’t know what to think,” Horn
er’s agent, Bucky Woy, said.
Horner prefers not to return
to Japan, even though he has
been offered a $10 million, three-
year contract.
The Braves are offering about
$900,000; the Rangers are offer
ing a base salary of around
$700,000 with incentives that
could push him to around $1.1
million.
While Horner informally held
court and signed autographs, Ue
berroth, Brown and National
League President Bart Giamatti
held a news conference later on
expansion.
Ueberroth dodged questions
about when baseball would talk
about specifics, and said he had
nothing concrete to present in a
meeting with congressmen on
Dec. 15.
Giamatti said the leagues
merged their committees to pre
vent any scramble for cities if ex
pansion is approved.
Ueberroth undecided about 2nd term,
says he needs more support from owners
DALLAS (AP) — Baseball
Commissioner Peter Ueberroth,
concerned about his chances at
being re-elected, said Wednesday
that he has not decided whether
to seek another five-year term.
“I’ve said that every year . . .
that I don’t have enough sup
port,” Ueberroth said, calling
himself “an activist” commis
sioner who sometimes offends
club owners because he’s not
afraid to make a decision.
Ueberroth made the comments
in response to questions from re
porters at the baseball meetings.
Ueberroth, whose term expires
Dec. 31, 1989, was quoted
Wednesday in the Dallas Morn
ing News as saying, “if I needed
to get re-elected right now, I
wouldn’t be able to put that to
gether. Let’s say I couldn’t get
double-digit votes.”
Ueberroth needs the votes of
14 of the 26 owners to win re-
election. He has often said he in
tends to be a one-term commis
sioner, but he has never publicly
ruled out seeking another term.
“I might not be able to get
enough votes now if I had to . . .
but I have a vote on the matter,
too,” he said, adding he will re
consider his future in baseball the
toward the end of his term.
“I still have my right of choice,”
he said. “The owners have the
right to their choices. We’ll prob
ably come to the same conclu
sions.”
Ueberroth said chief among
the reasons why he is unpopular
among some owners is his will
ingness to take a stance on con
troversial issues, such as the um
pires’ strike preceding the 1984
World Series.
He sided with the umpires in
their request for more money
“and some of the owners still
haven’t forgiven me,” he said.
“I’ve made more decisions —
good, bad and indifferent — than
anyone since the first (commis
sioner. Judge Kenesaw Mountain
Landis),” he said.
Ueberroth also cost some own
ers money by pressuring them
into remaining in their cities —he
opposes the relocation of teams.
“Obviously they could have

gotten a lot more money if they
were able to move. I’m not going
to have moving vans rolling up in
the middle of the night,” he told
the Morning News, referring to
the NFL Baltimore Colts’ late-
night move to Indianapolis.
Ueberroth did not discuss his
own status during a half-hour
news conference with NL Presi
dent Bart Giamatti and AL Presi
dent Bobby Brown following a
joint American-National leagues
meeting Wednesday.
He has not held an individual
news conference in 18 months
and reporters had to chase him
down a hotel corridor to question
him about his future.
Criticism that he was using the
commissioner’s office to boost his
political future led to his cutback
in interviews, Ueberroth said. He
has long been rumored as a possi
ble future U.S. Senate candidate
from California.
“Some people say I’m too ac
cessible. Some say I’m not accessi
ble enough,” Ueberroth said. “1
think I’m independent and that’s
the way I want to stay.”
