The team finished with a 23-8 record. Hickey said she told the players ! Tuesday of the change and called new recruits and their families. Most of the players were quiet and some were crying, she said. “It was real tougn,” she said. “They’re just a great group of people, and it was hard.” Hickey said she looks forward to her new responsibility but will miss coaching. “It’s a big responsibility, and I’m anxious to do the best job I can,” she said. “It’s definitely a narrowing of scope, but it will be a lot of work.” Hickey said she has seen many changes in her 10 years at A&M, especially a stronger commitment to women’s athletics. “I think the growth of women's basketball has been a very positive thing,” she said. “The commitment level to all women’s athletics has been almost doubled.” Groff said the search for a new head coach will begin immediately. A committee will be created, including associate and assistant directors, with Hickey as ex post facto chairwoman. “We want someone who will maintain standards in terms of academic compliance," he said. “With the successful season we had and the players we have now, it’s not going to be hard to sell this.” Hickey said Assistant Coach Eileen Feeney is one candidate who will probably pursue the head coaching job. i - t ■BBw* WASHING! irowly Thur: iilt-style we« tsident Clin jups lobbyin The 216-21 as one lav I'sjr., D-Ind. 1 ^ The vote w: ttional Rifle i The vote m ne passed sir Skaters Continued from Page 1 lady who got hit, but I don’t think with all the budget problems the University would take building a skate park very seriously.” Ray Hernandez, speaker pro tempore, said he did not support the bill because he did not feel enough research was conducted. “It is not fair that a decision like this was made without the students voicing their concerns,” Hernandez said. “They have the right idea, but more research needs to be done. Almost half the Senate voted against it. I think that says a lot.” The Senate also passed a reso lution encouraging the University administration to request in creased state funding for the Ster ling C. Evans Library. Kathy Par tain, director of the Legislative Study Group, said she wanted the Senate’s support on the matter before her group ap proached the administration, who will be lobbying for funding be fore the Texas Legislature next year. Partain informed the Senate of the library’s need for additional funding by quoting them statis tics concerning the library. She said the library ranks 56th out of the top LOO universities’ libraries, has experienced book inflation by 9 percent, and has cut 1,1 00 serial titles since 1992. oru )ark Melissa Jaco ^Battalion The expans rnnal utility which pr< oling to cai aised parkir ms for man 1 k halls.
