THE SMARTEST COLLEGE COURSE TOD CAN TAKE
WASHINGTON (AP) — A Senate committee
tore into Olympic leaders Wednesday over the
Salt Lake bribery scandal and took quick action
to place the IOC under the same law that deals
with corrupt governments.
With two members calling for International
Olympic Committee president Juan Antonio
Samaranch to resign and a general skepticism
that the IOC was ready to clean up its act, the
Senate Commerce Committee repeatedly criti
cized a “culture of corruption’’ that left the
rings tarnished and the games defamed.
“A pattern of payoffs, palace intrigue and
padded budgets has clouded over the integrity of
the Olympics,’’ Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., said.
Despite some senators’ urging that immedi
ate financial action be taken, commerce panel
chairman Sen. John McCain said he wanted to
go slow on legislation that would make the
Olympics a less-attractive product for sponsors
and direct billion-dollar TV rights fees to the
U.S. Olympic Committee instead of the IOC.
Such legislation could wind up hurting ath
letes training for next year’s games in Sydney
and the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake, the
powerful Arizona Republican said.
But McCain, who held two IOC members to
an excruciating 45 minutes of questioning on
Olympic finances and reform intentions, said
he would immediately introduce a bill to place
the international panel under the Federal Cor
rupt Practices Act, which forbids bribery of for
eign officials.
"A pattern of payoffs,
palace intrigue and padded
budgets has clouded over
the integrity of the
Olympics.”

THE BATTALION CLASSIFIEDS
HOUSTON (AP) — The players
of the WNBA have agreed in prin
ciple to a new collective bargaining
agreement ac
cording to Monica
Lamb, the Hous
ton Comets’ play
er representative.
Lamb said in an interview with
Houston television station KRIV
that “in large part the deal is done.”
“The players have chosen to ac
cept the proposal and to go forward
with it,” she said.
Bruce Levy, a New York-based
agent representing about 30 cur
rent or former players, told The Ari
zona Republic there was not “any
real obstacle” that needed to be
cleared.
Levy said the deal included
minimum salaries of $30,000 for
veterans and $25,000 for rookies
plus year-round player health
benefits. Players now can negoti
ate deals based on merit, rather
than being predetermined by a
salary slot.
Additionally, players would re
ceive a percentage of the league’s
basketball-related income, and the
league will establish and contribute
to a retirement plan.
Lamb said that one of the de
tails yet to be ironed out is the
length of the deal. She told KRIV
that the WNBA wants the contract
to last four years, but the players
say they only want a three-year
deal.
