The College will not renew his contract and is in the process of forming a search committee to look for a new football coach, according to Dave Jacobs, the athletic director. At the same time, it was also announced that head women's soccer coach Jeff Laiblin, a part- time coach, has resigned for personal reasons. Men's soccer coach Pat Noyes will take on women's soccer recruiting and scheduling duties until a new coach is hired. College officials declined to cite specific reasons for not renewing Hoza's yearly contract, but said his intensive style of play did not fit well with the College's goals, according to Jacobs. "We will try to find a better fit," Jacobs said of the upcoming nation-wide search for a replacement. Kirk Hoza QC File Photo The decision to fire Hoza was made by Jacobs and supported by President James Ash, according to both. Hoza came to Whittier from the University of Redlands, another member in the SCIAC conference, two years ago when coach Ken Visser resigned. Since that time Hoza has had two 1-8 seasons, increased the number of players and recruited 50 freshman for this season. Jacobs said that the decision was not based solely on the losing record, but rather on the need to send the program in a different direction.

Eight members ran for the positions last year. The student election, which occurred on Nov. 16 and 17, drew 48 votes, or 4% of the student body, according to Wally Rosales, chair of the Elections Committee. Sophomores Brian Atwater, Sheila Ali, Liza Gershman and junior Christina Sports were elected to the at-large positions. This election was similar to the presidential and secretary races the previous week where they had candidates running unopposed as well. Rosales said he believed the lack of voting interest was due to the lack of candidates. "People might have thought it just didn't matter if they voted or not," Rosales said. "I didn't know or even really care about them," sophomore Dave Kiyahara said. "I feel that it is a pressing concern that students just don't seem interested in participating anymore. I just hope that this apathy doesn't become a trend," sophomore Margaret Bacon said. At-large COR members serve as representatives of the campus at large as opposed to other COR members which represent specific groups like the Publications Board and Inter-Club.

Allen refused to give specific examples, but said one concern was with the time commitment the program required. Jacobs was also supported in his decision by the Faculty Executive Council according to Mike McBride, chair of the council. The council met in October to discuss the football coach and other athletic department issues, McBride said. The Council expressed general concern with gender equity, fairness in the distribution of resources and Hoza's style of interaction with student athletes. McBride declined to elaborate on these reasons. In addition to sending the program in a different direction, Jacobs said the new coach would work on bringing the football program closer to the other athletic programs and not seeing it as separate. This new approach will be implemented through a restructuring of the program that will include reducing resources allocated to the football program and perhaps having assistant football coaches assist with other sports. The firing was not the result ofthe Title IX gender equity complaint currently filed with the Office of Civil Rights, a department ofthe national Education Depart- "It comes as a bit of a shock, what with the brevity of the period, and the fact we were ali on the same page as far as recruiting freshman and looking to the future." —Kirk Hoza, as quoted in the Whittier Daily News ment, Jacobs said. "We just need to make sure that football is on the same level as our other sports," Jacobs said. Jacobs and President Ash said that resources for the football program were increased under Hoza. President Ash said there were two reasons for the increase. First, the coaches that the College considered hiring when Visser left said that an improvement in the budget was necessary. And second, the College wanted to increase the level of funding for the football program to be similar to other SCIAC colleges. Ash added that resources were also added to other programs, including women's programs. The increase in funding for the football program and the increase in intensity which Hoza brought to the program was con- Please see HOZA, pg. 6 Sportsfest Weekend Successful "The Fight for the Hill" was the theme of the 1995 Sportsfest competition.
