NCAA penalizes Washington State
Probation causes scrutiny of program
The Associated Press
PULLMAN, Wash. — The probationary period for Washington State's athletic program was extended another two years by the NCAA yesterday because of a new case involving the use of two eligible football players and one ineligible baseball player.
In addition to extending the athletics program's probationary status to June 1997, the NCAA Committee on Infractions reprimanded the program and reduced the maximum number of initial football scholarships available during the 1995-96 academic year from 25 to 23.
The NCAA, in a news release from its headquarters in Overland Park, said the total number of football scholarships allowed could not exceed 83.
Universities on probation are subject to more frequent review of department procedures and additional reporting requirements.
Washington State's program had already had its probation extended from June 1995 to June 1997 last year by the Pacific-10 Conference in the same case.
When the Pac-10 announced its penalties last June, the school's athletic program already was on probation for awarding too many scholarships in baseball and track and field. That probation was extended two years by the Pac-10 as a result of the more recent infractions involving player eligibility.
The NCAA could have ordered stiffer penalties because the case falls under the NCAA's repeat-violator provisions.
But the committee decided the violations did not warrant such penalties, and made an exception, the NCAA said.
The NCAA said Washington State
had 15 days to appeal the penalties.
The athlete played in eight games in 1992.
The NCAA said the school knowingly certified a football player as eligible even though it knew he failed to meet NCAA regulations for satisfactory academic progress.
The other football player also played in 1992 even though he was a credit short of meeting satisfactory progress requirements.
The baseball player took part in two practices in the fall of 1993 and nine games in spring 1994 even though, as a transfer student, he was ineligible.
Psychologist testifies in Seles retrial
Former tennis star fears second attack
The Associated Press
HAMBURG, Germany — Monica Seles, knocked out of world-class tennis two years ago by an attacker who knifed her in the back, feels like a bird imprisoned in a cage, her
psychologist testified yesterday at the retrial of her assailant.
"When she would go to the grocery store, and someone would look at her, she was frightened that this person would attack
Monica Seles
her," sports psychologist Jerry Russel May told the District Court retry Guenther Parche for jumping over a spectator's railing and stabbing Seles during a break in an April 1993 tennis match.
Seles, 21, has not played professional tennis since.
"She's doing everything possible
to come back," May said. "She loves tennis."
May said he had been treating Seles for post-traumatic stress disorder, in six- to 10-day sessions every month or so for more than a year. At the request of her medical doctor, May gave Seles a psychological evaluation in July 1993, but she wanted to concentrate on physical rehabilitation so that she could resume competing.
Then, May said, Seles called him in March 1994 from her home in Florida, complaining of nightmares, flashbacks to the attack and fear of normal public activities.
"She would recall this attack, with the pain she felt when she sat on the bench," May said. "She would see herself falling forward and looked back to see Herr Parche coming at her again with the knife."
May indicated that Seles had asked him to testify at the retrial of Parche, a 40-year-old unemployed East German, who got a two-year suspended sentence for assault. Parche has said he wanted to injure the Yugoslavia-born Belsen so that German tennis star Steffi Graf could be No.1.
The prosecution appealed, and Parche is being retrained on a charge of attempted murder.
She's doing everything possible to come back.She loves
tennis."
Jerry Russel May Sports psychologist on Monica Seles' battle back to competition.
May said Seles does not believe Parche wanted only to wound her, principally because he used a lethal weapon.
Seles' fear is intensified by the thought that she could have been paralyzed or killed if the knife had pierced her back a centimeter to the right.
Parche's attorney, Otmar Kury, suggested May's testimony was inadequate: "I would welcome it if Ms. Seles would attend the hearing and give her own account of what happened. Obviously she does not want to do this."
But May's testimony graphically
illustrated just how difficult such an appearance would have been for Seles. In the courtroom, the witness sat directly in front of the judge, with his back to Parche, sitting at the defense table behind him.
It would have been traumatic enough, May said, if Seles had been attacked as she walked down an alley in a high crime area, but the fact that she was in a safe place when it happened, makes it harder for her to readjust.
"She was merely playing tennis in a tennis tournament before thousands of people in a supposedly secure environment with no reason to fear," May testified. "That makes it more difficult to be in any situation and judge whether you can trust the situation or not."
Seles is suing the tournament organizers for lack of security at Hamburg's Rothenbaum stadium, but May said that had nothing to do with her fears about the criminal case.
"A woman that is raped often has terrible memories of that for the rest of her life and this can disrupt her relationships," May testified. "A woman like Monica, who was stabbed in the back without doing anything wrong, will also have those memories for a long time."

Fortunately, Northwestern's Summer Session gives you a chance to catch up, or get ahead of the game. You can earn a full year's credit in chemistry, physics, or a language in eight or nine weeks. After a summer at Northwestern you'll have it made—in the shade.
Noteworthy in 195: Field schools in archaeology, environmental studies. ethnography, and urban studies and a six-week program in Prague.
