nob The AS Senate and the College Union
Programming Committee which have
harbored long-standing animosities
toward each other, apparently are head¬
ing for another showdown. - .. .
The conflict surfaced when CSUF's
Women's Alliance organization ap¬
proached the Senate at its last meeting
, for a funding request.
Programming had denied the Wo¬
men's Alliance a $76 waiver for equip¬
ment the alliance was renting for activi¬
ties slated for April 14 and 16.
Administrative Vice President Jeff
Watson, who is a non-voting member of
the Programming committee, said that
it was the consensus of the committee
members that "if they waiver the fees
for one group, they'd have to do the
same for any other group who requested
awaiver."
A few senators spoke up* and said that
'it is time to vocalize the problem* of
' the animosities between the two bodies,
and that 'this is another occasion where
students are getting raked over the
coals.' It was the feeling of one senator
that students already pay for these ser¬
vices with their student body fees and
are being 'double charged.'
Senator Mark Scott, a former member
of the Programming committee, sugges¬
ted that a resolution of support be
drafted on the behalf of the Women's
Alliance and that it should be stated that
the Programming committee, according
to the AS, is not as supportive of stu¬
dents and their activities as it should be.
Spokeswoman for the' Women's
Alliance Chris Ignatio said that that
would help the student body at large,
but that that action alone wouldn't help
the Alliance's efforts to get the stage.
Scott said that Programming "always
seems to have an excuse these days for
not doing something,for students."
One senator suggested that if the
problem was aired at the Board meeting
that perhaps Programming would better
understand the importance of the pro- -.
gram. He said that frograniming might
have had the idea that the Alliance's
activities would benefit only a narrow
segment of the student population. •
He said that if it is being held in the
Free Speech area at noontime, it will hit
a large cross section of people and be
beneficial to the university as a whole.
The Senate told the 'Alliance that if
the Board upheld the Programming
committee's decision, then they saw no
problem in allocating them the $76 fee.
Tom Gaxiola, a past three year mem¬
ber of the CU Programming committee,
agreed in a telephone conversation

CSUF sees 'Red' in new track coach
by Tony Stevens
Sixteen years ago, when he was just
a student teaching assistant coach at
Thurston High in.Oregon, Red Estes
decided to ignore the University of
Oregon' s coach Bill Bowerman' s urging
that he apply for an assistant's opening
at another university.
But Bowerman's persistence won out
and Estes finally applied and was
accepted for the position.
The school was Fresno State, which of
course, by now has changed its title to
CSUF. Now, 16 years later, Estes is
changing his title as well. Don't call
him an assistant. Call him the chief.
Estes, who will be 44 this September,
will replace CSUF's head track and field

coach of 19 years, Dutch Warmerdam,
after this year.
"I'm very pleased that they have
confidence in me. It's very heartwarm¬
ing to know that somebody above be¬
lie ves I can do the job."
For Estes, the new position virtually
assures he will remain in the community
for the finish of his coaching career.
"I'm a firm believer in loyalty," he
said. "I've had other offers over the last
few years, but this job is such a' good
one. Dutch is great to work for and I
can'tthiniof a greater place to live. My
family was born and reared here."
Estes first became interested in coach¬
ing while at the University of Oregon
after ventures into architecture and
journalism.
He became a graduate assistant to
Bowerman in 1969 before serving in
the military for three years. He then
returned to bis position under Bowerman
for one more year before moving on to
Thurston High.
Although Bowerman helped him a
great deal, he says, the most mftnential
person on his coaching career has been
Warmerdam..
"He's been the most influential on me
as far as my corning career has gone. I
learned an awful lot being close to Dutch
for 16 years. The man is great. If some¬
body wanted a role-model to pattern
themselves after, it's Dutch," he said.
Warmerdam said that working with
Estes has been rewarding for him as
well.
"He's so easy to get along with, I'm
been totally satisfied," said Dutch. As
far as Estes' rank of assistant is con¬
cerned, Warmerdam said be never felt
him as such. "He's always been more
like an equal," he said. "I'm just happy
I got here first."
Behind every great man is a woman, it
has been said and Estes is no exception.
He regards his wife of 20 yean, Myrna,
as the most influential person in his life.
Without her, he says, "My job would be
Estes figures he puts in about 70-80
hours a week, counting the 4-6 hours on
Saturdays and Sundays he spends on
paperwork. That means he can't spend
as much time as he'd like with his wife '
and four children. Having his wife there,
he says, makes his job workable.
"If I make a move, she's behind me
100 percent and I don't mean from the
standpoint of a robot. We made a
commitment that Mom would stay in
the home as long as the kids were at
home. It's getting tougher with inflation
and everything, but we still manage."
Despite his heavy hours, he toys to
maintain his role as father. He leaves
his coaching behind when he shuts the
door at lus CSUF office and toys to spend
the evenings with his family.
He rarely sees any track meets that
his two teenage sons compete in. He
said the fact that his job takes a lot of
his kids' time gets him down, as it does
every coach "once in a while."
"Yon know between the both of them,
they had 23 track meets and I've only
seen one. I think, what am I doing,
trying to convince some kid to come here
(by recruiting) when I have my own kids
out there. But then, I think it's better
for others to have an effect on them,
that they don't grow dependent on just
me."
"Coaching is a standoff," be says.
"You spend your time with other kids
hoping somebody will help yours."
Estes expects to m»bit»m his head
cross-country coaching position, unless
the assistant hired is better qualified.
To thmk I can work with young
people, outdoors and get paid for it,
it's fantastic. It's like stealing money."
Bat while Estes looks forward to his
new role, all bis energy currently is
being directed toward this year's team
andDutch.
"My mam concern is this .year's
team," he said. "We have a chance to
