Coming off back-to-back road losses to USCand Arizona State, Washington (4-4, 1-3)returns to Husky Stadium this

Saturday for a Homecoming show-down with UCLA (5-3, 2-2), a teamthat knows how it feels to have itsback against the wall.

Entering last week’s home gamewith Stanford, the Bruins haddropped back-to-back games withOregon (31-30) and California(17-12).

Want to add a little more adver-sity?

UCLA starting quarterback CoryPaus suffered a broken ankleagainst the Golden Bears and back-up signalcaller John Sciarra wasalso injured during the game. Thatforced the Bruins to take the fieldlast week against Stanford with truefreshman Matt Moore behind cen-ter.

On the first drive of the game,Stanford was forced to punt, butregained the ball on a fumble bythe Bruins’ return man. Six playslater the Cardinal was in the end-zone and took a quick 8-0 lead.

On UCLA’s first possession a bad

snap to Moore resulted in Stanford scooping upthe ball and scoring for a 15-0 lead after justfour minutes of play.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Marquis Cooper’s nine tackles for loss have sparked aHusky run defense that is allowing just 2.4 yards percarry, the lowest UW opponent average since 1991.

How did the Bruins react to the situation?They rode the strong running of tailback TylerEbell and the accurate kicking of Nate Fikse(five field goals) to run away with a 28-18 vic-tory.

“Our guys were down by 15, and they mighthave bellied up right then,” said UCLA headcoach Bob Toledo. “They stayed in there andworked hard.”

While the youthful Huskies have struggledthis year they can certainly relate to the Bruins’approach. Washington’s players have continuedto work hard and the much-maligned defenseshowed significant improvement in lastSaturday’s loss at Arizona State.

The Husky defense limited the Sun Devils tojust 45 rushing yards and held ASU’s high-flyingpassing game to only 184 yards. A week earlierSun Devil quarterback Andrew Walter hadblitzed Oregon’s secondary for a Pac-10 record536 passing yards.

Most teams have been able to move the ballon the Huskies by passing against an inexperi-enced Washington secondary, which includedtrue freshman Nate Robinson as a starter at cor-nerback last week. Allowing 277.9 passingyards per game, the Huskies are second to lastin the Pac-10 in that statistical category.

The run is another story.Washington’s front four and linebackers

have been tough to gain ground against. TheHuskies lead the Pac-10 in rushing defense,

allowing just 79.2 yards pergame. That ranks as the fifth bestin this week’s NCAA rankings.

It is the fewest rushing yardsallowed by a Husky defensesince the 1991 NationalChampionship team held oppo-nents to just 67.1 yards pergame.

With several of the best run-ning backs in the Pac-10 facingthe Huskies over the next month,it will be interesting to see ifWashington can continue to stuffthe run, or if opponents mightgo away from their strong run-ning games in an attempt to passthe ball versus Washington.

Last year the Huskies wentinto their matchup with UCLAallowing 119 rushing yards pergame. Bruin tailback DeShaunFoster blitzed Washington with aschool record 301-yard performance, the thirdhighest total in Pac-10 history.

The Huskies face a hot back this week inUCLA’s Ebell. In the victory against Stanford,Ebell carried the ball 39 times for 160 yards.While he is listed on the Bruins’ roster at just 5-9 and 170 pounds, Ebell’s resume is a heavy-weight.

The redshirt freshman has gained at least100 yards in each of UCLA’s last four games. He

is the first Bruinfreshman runningback to ever accom-plish that and is thefirst to have thatmany consecutive100-yard gamessince Skip Hicks puttogether five in arow in 1997.

The Californiahigh school playerof the year in 2000,Ebell was named theNational HighSchool Athlete of theYear by the NationalHigh SchoolCoaches Associationthat same year. Thataward is consideredthe Heisman Trophy

for prep players.While the Bruins decided to keep things

simple last week for Moore in his first start,they do like to throw the ball, averaging 249.6passing yards per game. Moore completed justseven passes in 19 attempts last week, but heaveraged more than 20-yards per reception anddid not throw any interceptions.

Craig Bragg, who led UCLA in receiving lastyear as a freshman, tops the team again thisseason with 39 catches for 652 yards and sevenscores. Tab Perry has 27 catches for 539 yardsand Mike Seidman has 26 receptions for 424yards.

On the other side of the ball the Bruins cancreate problems for Washington’s passing game.UCLA is ranked 13th nationally in pass defensein terms of the NCAA’s efficiency rating. TheBruins have allowed just 184 passing yards pergame, the best mark in the Pac-10 this season.

UCLA has allowed opponents to completejust 47.8 percent of their passes and given upjust eight passing scores all season. The Bruinscornerback tandem of Ricky Manning and MattWare, a converted free safety, may be the bestcombination of pass defenders in the confer-ence.

With their backs against the wall, theHuskies hope this is their week to overcomeadversity and get back into the win column.Something the Bruins have already learned todo.

Already No. 1Junior quarterback Cody Pickett is having an unprecendented season in terms of his passing sta-

tistics. Washington, well-known for producing NFL quarterbacks, has never seen the prolific numbersthat Pickett is posting this season. Only eight games into his junior year, Pickett has already set a newsingle-season passing yards record with 2,811 this year (surpassing Cary Conklin’s 2,569 in 1989).Pickett broke Conklin’s mark in the season’s seventh game. Now with 5,226 career yards, Pickett isonly 517 yards shy of the UW career passing yards record of 5,742 (Brock Huard). Pickett also has ashot at the Pac-10 single-season passing record, especially with the 12-game schedule this year. Pickettmust throw for 827 yards (an average of 206.8 per game) to break the conference record of 3,637yards, set by Washington State’s Ryan Leaf in 1997. Pickett’s 2,811 passing yards thisseason already rank No. 18 (tied) in Pac-10 history, and he’s only 122 yards awayfrom the all-time top-10. Last week vs. ASU, he broke Steve Pelluer’s 1983 Huskyrecord of 213 completions. Pickett now has 228.

Washington-UCLA TiesWashington head coach Rick Neuheisel is a graduate of UCLA, having spent five

seasons with the Bruins including the 1983 season, when he led UCLA to the RoseBowl, where Neuheisel picked up MVP honors after beating Illinois. Neuheisel alsospent one season (1986) as a volunteer assistant at UCLA before becoming a full-time assistant from 1988-93. Several other Husky coaches have also coached atUCLA. Tim Hundley was a linebackers coach for the Bruins for six seasons (1990-95), Steve Axman was the offensive coordinator for two years (1987-88), and BobbyHauck was a grad assistant in Westwood in 1990-91 before serving as assistantrecruiting coordinator in 1992. UCLA head coach Bob Toledo was an assistant atUCLA in 1994 and 1995, which put him on the same staff as Hundley those two years. Bruins assistant Mark Weber and Hundley were also members of thesame coaching staff at Oregon State from 1987 to 1990. Washington’s roster includes 28 Californians, mostly from the southern part of the state. Severalregular contributors among the Huskies’ roster are from the greater L.A. area: C Todd Bachert (Mission Viejo), CB Sam Cunningham (Westchester), CBDerrick Johnson (Riverside/Notre Dame), DE Anthony Kelley (Alta Dena/Muir), CB Chris Massey (Moreno Valley), DT Josh Miller (West Covina), WRPatrick Reddick (Newbury Park), TB Chris Singleton (Fontana) and DT Jerome Stevens (Oxnard). Husky redshirt freshman quarterback Casey Paus is theyounger brother of injured Bruins starting QB Cory Paus. The Bruins’ roster no longer includes any players from the state of Washington.

Tough After TurnoversWhile Washington has turned the ball over

four more times than its opponents this year(14 to 18), the Huskies have been muchmore successful turning turnovers into pointsthan have their opponents. In fact, the

Huskies have scored 10times after their 14 take-aways, and two of theirmissed opportunitiescame on a missed fieldgoal and a blocked fieldgoal. A third came onthe game’s final play vs.Arizona, and thus didnot present a chance tobe converted into ascore. In the meantime,UW opponents havescored seven times on18 turnovers – sixtouchdowns and onefield goal.

HUSKY PROFILE / ELLIOTT ZAJAC

by Mason Kelley

t was a warm, sunny afternoon in thefriendly confines of Husky Stadium, as

Elliott Zajac and his fellow Huskies pre-pared to wrap up their first fall scrim-

mage in preparation for the season-open-ing game with Michigan at the Big House

in Ann Arbor.Thing were moving along briskly until Kevin

Ware laid a crushing block on defensive line-man Manase Hopoi, knocking him onto Zajac’sright ankle. All was silent as the senior offensiveguard lay on the turf clutching his leg.

“I thought I was done for the season,” Zajacsays. “I thought I would have to fight with theNCAA for a sixth season, which is virtually

impossible. Luckily thatdidn’t happen.”

The threat of acareer-ending injuryprompted Zajac to reflecton his experience withthe game he loves.

It should have startedin Little League, but evenas a child, Zajac wasdeemed too big to play.

“The first time I ever touched pads and ahelmet was my freshman year in high school,”he says.

From the day he arrived at West High inBakersfield, Calif., people could tell that Zajacwas a player. After his sophomore season, Zajactransferred from smaller West to largerBakersfield High School in a concerted effort toearn a college scholarship.

“BHS was always the dominant school in thearea, and West High was on the downside,”Zajac says. “I took two buddies with me, andtwo other guys from West transferred to differ-ent schools.”

Making the move to Bakersfield Highbrought with it some tough times for the Zajacfamily, which was criticized by the media. Inner-district transfers were a hot-button issue inBakersfield, and Zajac was one of the first kidsto do it.

“We did it for football,” says Elliott’s mother,Donna. “West High was not performing on thefield. They had been good in the past but weknew he would get better coaching atBakersfield. It was the best chance that he hadto get a scholarship.”

Also factoring in the Zajacs' decision wasthe experience of Elliott's older sister, Andrea,who was having to pay her own way throughcollege.

“My sister never got a chance to get a schol-arship,” he says. “She graduated high schoolearly and when she went to college, she paidher own way. In her eyes, I have gotten things alittle bit easier, even though I’ve earned it,because I am on a full-ride. I want to get themost out of my chances here and do it for her.”

Andrea insists that having to pay for her owncollege tuition has not left her with any grudgestowards her brother.

“I really enjoy going to see his games,” shesays. “He is turning into a really good man. Iam very proud of his maturity. He has really gothis head on straight. He understands that thereis another step if he is unable to play football atthe next level.”

Zajac played well enough in high school toearn the scholarship he sought, with severalPac-10 schools expressing interest. He wantedto get out of California, though, which eliminat-ed many of the Pac-10 powers.

“I made my decision between Washingtonand Oregon, and I chose Washington because itis the evil empire,” he says. “Everyone hates UWand I like that.”

Since arriving on campus, Zajac has fallenin love with the weight room, which has turnedhim into one of the strongest Huskies ever tocome through the program.

“He is a great kid,” says Husky strengthcoach Pete Kaligis, “a kid that has dedicatedhimself to this place. That is how our relation-ship has been built. He will live and die in here.This is what has made him a great player. Hehas done so much, I can’t say enough about the

At 6-foot-5 and 310 pounds, and capable of bench-pressing more than 500 pounds, Zajacis a formidable force on the field.

guy.”Zajac gives much of the credit for his suc-

cess in the weight room has to Kaligis and for-mer strength coach Bill Gillespie.

“Pete Kaligis has become like a brother tome,” Zajac says. “He always takes care of me.He stretches me out before practice, and stayslate to work with me after practice. I just reallythank God that he is willing to work that hardwith me.”

Zajac loves lifting so much, in fact, that heprefers his accomplishments in the weightroom to anything he has done on the field.

“I have squatted 733 pounds, I can benchpress 505, and I have cleaned 401,” he says. “Iam not a one-lift guy. I like to move around. Ilove the weight room and the competition in theweight room.”

Flash back to Aug. 17, 2002. Zajac is lyingon the field, clutching his broken ankle. Thewait for the x-ray results seems interminable,but when the news comes back, it’s good —the break is not as serious as originally feared.Zajac misses the Huskies’ season-opener atMichigan, but returns to the field a month later— six weeks after the injury — for the Pac-10opener with Cal.

“It feels great to be back,” he says. “It sucksthat I had to come back to a loss, but we foughtvaliantly. I think once the team gets on trackand we find our identity things are going towork out really well.”

Now back in the lineup, Zajac can stop rem-iniscing about the past, and look forward againto the future, and the final games of his colle-giate career.

“I want to try to be first-team All-Pac-10,”he says. “I think that would be a huge accolade.I obviously have had a little setback and I have

a little catching-up to do.”No one has a better sense of Zajac’s impor-

tance on the line than Husky center ToddBachert, who doubles as Zajac’s roommate.

“(Dan) Dicks did a good job filling in, but itis nice to have him back,” Bachert says. “Wewere a little off when he first came back but weare starting to mesh a little bit better. He is real-ly important to the offensive line. He is a goodleader, and he is intense.”

Every year, the team votes on whom theythink is fit to lead the team both on and off thefield. This season, Zajac was voted by his peersas one of four team captains, an honor he takesquite seriously.

“It is hard, because you don’t want to yelland scream at guys,” he says. “You have todefine your own way of leading, because nowyou have been voted a leader by your team-mates. Guys look to me in the huddle to findmotivation, so I have got to stay focused andkeep everybody rolling.”

Given all he has been through, and all hehas accomplished, it would seem that Zajacneeds to say little to be an inspiration to histeammates.

When Rick Neuheisel attended the 1998 Rose Bowl, to beinducted into its Hall of Fame, he took the time to enjoy themoment and bask in the gala and pageantry of the college

football game known simply as “The Granddaddy of Them All.” As he watched the shadows creep over the Arroyo Seco, and the

sun disappear into the western horizon, he turned to his wife, Susan,and said, “We’ve got to get back here someday.”

It happened sooner than he expected.Three years later Neuheisel was back in the Rose Bowl, hoisting

the championship trophy above his head to the delight of 40,000Husky fans after Washington had dispatched Purdue’s Boilermakers34-24.

After quarterbacking UCLA to a 45-9 victory against Illinois in the1984 Rose Bowl, being inducted into the Hall of Fame, and coachingthe Huskies to their seventh Rose Bowl championship, Neuheisel willlong be considered one of the Rose Bowl’s favorite sons.

Neuheisel prefers to deflect the attention for Washington’s ascen-sion back to the top of the college football ranks over the past threeseasons. He will be the first one to credit his players and coachingstaff for making the commitment to return the Huskies to dominance.

When he first arrived in Seattle in January of 1999, Neuheiselchallenged the Huskies to forego any feeling-out process with a newstaff and simply make a commitment to winning.

The results speak for themselves. During his first three years as aHusky, Neuheisel’s teams have placed second, first and second in thePac-10 race. Washington has been ranked in the Associated Presspoll for every game during the past two seasons. The Huskies havemade two trips to the Holiday Bowl and one showing in the RoseBowl under Neuheisel.

Last year’s team posted a 8-4 record that included six wins atHusky Stadium to extend the Huskies’ current home winning streakto 14 games. A young Husky squad faced five teams that were rankedin the final Associated Press Poll and picked up wins against three ofthose opponents.

Neuheisel’s second Husky squad, the 2000 team, posted the first10-win season since the 1991 Huskies went 12-0 en route to thenational championship. It was Washington’s first Rose Bowl title in 10years and its first Rose Bowl appearance since 1992.

The 2000 Huskies were a remarkable team. Washington trailed ineight of its 11 wins, showing incredible resilience and heart, not tomention strategy, in pulling off five consecutive fourth-quarter come-backs in a row.

For his efforts, Neuheisel was listed as a finalist for coach of theyear by several different media outlets.

In 1999, his first season as the head football coach at Washington,Neuheisel accomplished something that none of his predecessorsachieved. He guided the Huskies to a 7-5 record, including an invita-tion to the 1999 Culligan Holiday Bowl, becoming the first UW coachto take the team to a bowl game during his inaugural season.

Husky football fans and casual sports followers alike have quicklyembraced Neuheisel for the spark he has added to Washington’s sto-ried football tradition. As a public speaker, he is in high demand.Neuheisel has spoken at numerous fundraising events and generatedlofty contributions with his charismatic speeches and penchant forinnovative fundraising ideas.

Neuheisel took over the Washington program in January of 1999after serving as the head football coach at Colorado from 1995 to1998. His six-year coaching record now stands at 59-24 (.711).

Washington is the second head coaching position for the 41-yearold Neuheisel, who spent seven seasons as an assistant coach prior tosecuring the Colorado job. He worked six years at his alma mater,UCLA, under his college coach Terry Donahue, and was an assistantcoach for one season on Bill McCartney’s staff in Boulder. He wasnamed the head coach at Colorado on Nov. 29, 1994.

At Colorado, Neuheisel compiled a 33-14 (.702) record and was3-0 in postseason bowl games. All three of his bowl games wereagainst Pac-10 Conference opponents. He had 20 wins in his first twoseasons as a college coach, which tied for the fourth-most by a first-time college coach in the Division I-A modern era. Both of thoseColorado teams finished in the top-10 of the national polls.

Neuheisel had a number of “firsts”while coaching the Buffaloes:• He became the first first-year Colorado coach to take a team to

a bowl game.• The team’s 10 wins in 1995 were the most ever by a first-year CU

coach.• The Buffaloes’ No. 4 ranking in the USA Today standings and No. 5

ranking in the final Associated Press poll were the eighth-highest rankings ever for a first-year coach.

• Neuheisel’s 10 wins his first year tied for the fifth-most by a rookie.• The 1996 Colorado team set a school record by winning 10

consecutive road games.

Head coach Rick Neuheisel signals in a play during the the 2001 season.

• The 1997 Buffalo team produced three All-Americans, including Butkus Award winner Matt Russell.

• He is only the fourth coach to guide his first two teams to a pair of 10-win seasons.

The road that led Neuheisel into coachingwas an interesting, if not a unique one. Afterfinishing his college career with a spectacularperformance in the 1984 Rose Bowl in whichhe was named the game’s Most Valuable Player,he graduated from UCLA in May, 1984, with abachelor’s degree in political science.Neuheisel had a solid 3.4 grade point average,the highest of all graduating football seniors,and was named Academic All-Pac 10. He wonthe Jack R. Robinson and Paul I. Wellmanawards from the school to honor his academicexcellence, and also earned an NCAA postgrad-uate scholarship as he aspired to attend lawschool. Neuheisel was inducted into the RoseBowl’s Hall of Fame in 1998.

He played two seasons (1984,1985), withthe San Antonio Gunslingers of the UnitedStates Football League. Following the 1985USFL season (which was over by the end ofsummer), he decided to use his NCAA scholar-ship award and enrolled in law school atSouthern California. The following summer, hejoined the UCLA staff as a volunteer coach,specifically to tutor Troy Aikman on the UCLAoffense. Aikman matured under Neuheisel’stutelage, and the two remain close friends tothis day.

In 1987, Neuheisel played in the NationalFootball League. He suited up for three gamesfor the San Diego Chargers (starting two), andstill holds a team record for completion per-centage in a game (81.8, going 18-of-22 for217 yards and a touchdown at Tampa Bay). Hecompleted 40-of-59 passes in those threegames for 367 yards and one touchdown, andadded another touchdown rushing. Another claim to his short-lived NFL fameis that he is the last player to rush for a one-point conversion, running in amuffed PAT attempt at Cincinnati. This is forever a trivia answer, with the NFLnow sporting the two-point conversion.

He closed out the season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, dressing fortwo games, but never getting the chance to play. He wore the same number atTampa Bay (No. 7) that he wore for San Diego.

Neuheisel would again return to his alma mater, but this time in thecapacity of a full-time assistant coach in charge of the quarterbacks, which hewould coach for the next two seasons before switching to receivers coach in1990.

While an assistant at UCLA, Neuheisel continued his studies in his pursuitof a law degree. He graduated from the University of Southern CaliforniaSchool of Law in 1990 with his juris doctor degree. He would be sworn intothe Arizona State Bar Association in May of 1991, and the Washington, D.C.,Bar in March, 1993.

Neuheisel began his collegiate playing career as a walkon at UCLA, hold-ing for kicker John Lee, and eventually battled Steve Bono for the startingquarterback job by his senior year. He secured the starting job four gamesinto the regular season and quarterbacked the Bruins to the Pac-10 champi-onship in 1983, earning honorable mention All-Pac 10 honors in theprocess. He was named the Most Valuable Player in the 1984 Rose Bowlwhen UCLA beat Illinois, 45-9. In that game, Neuheisel completed 22-of-31passes for 298 yards and four TDs, including a pair to Karl Dorrell, who later

became Washington’s offensive coordinator. Neuheisel completed 198 of 290 passes for 2,480 yards and 15 touch-

downs in his UCLA career, which at the time placed him sixth on the Bruins’all-time passing yards list. He still holds school records in completion per-centage for both a single season (69.3 as a senior) and career (68.3).Another school record he still holds, completion percentage in a single game,set an NCAA record at the time; Neuheisel completed 25 of 27 passes (includ-ing 18 straight at one point) for 287 yards against Washington in 1983, aremarkable 92.6 percent.

He graduated from McClintock High School in Tempe, Ariz., in 1979, andwas the school’s most outstanding athlete his senior year as he lettered infootball (quarterback), basketball (guard) and baseball (shortstop, outfield,pitcher). He is a member of McClintock’s Hall of Fame.

Richard Gerald Neuheisel, Jr., was born on Feb. 7, 1961, in Madison,Wis., where he made his debut as a head coach when CU beat Wisconsin 43-7. He is married to the former Susan Wilkinson, and they have three chil-dren, Jerry (10), Jack (8) and Joe (5).

Neuheisel’s father, Dick, was one of the original Tempe Diablos, a groupwhich helped found the Fiesta Bowl, and is a former president of Sister CitiesInternational, a worldwide goodwill organization. The son of Dick and Jane,Rick has three sisters, Nancy, Katie and Deborah. From his home on LakeWashington, he occasionally drives his boat to work. He has been a semi-reg-ular participant on the Celebrity Golf Association Tour. In 1999, a monthbefore the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach, he shot a 74 on the course.

When it comes to recognition, Washington athleticdirector Barbara Hedges would prefer that thespotlight fall on Husky student-athletes. Still, it is

hard not to acknowledge her accomplishments.Hedges has built the Husky athletic program into one

of the most successful in the nation in a variety of ways.During the past decade, Washington’s athletic teams haveenjoyed unprecedented success. The Husky program isalso recognized as a leader in gender equity, communityservice and outreach programs and Student-AthleteSupport Services.

Most recently, Hedges has focused on improvingWashington’s athletic facilities by more than $100 mil-lion.

Her hard work has not gone unnoticed by her peers.In 1999-2000 Hedges was named the NACDA/ContinentalAirlines Athletic Director of the Year for the NCAADivision I West Region. She was presented the HondaAward of Merit and the Seattle/King County Sports andEvents Council named her their MVP of the Year AwardWinner.

There is a chalkboard in Hedges’ office filled withinspirational messages, quotations and philosophies pro-vided by her staff and visitors. One of her passages reads,“Hope is not a strategy.” It is very appropriate. The suc-cesses for Washington’s athletic programs duringHedges’ tenure that have earned her so many acknowl-edgements have been forged in hard work, planning anda commitment to excellence, not just wishful thinking.

The past few years are dramatic proof that Hedges’approach to building Washington’s overall athletic pro-gram into one of the best in the country have been suc-cessful. Many of those successes have not been mea-sured in wins and losses.

Washington is currently in the second phase of itshighly-successful “Campaign for the Student-Athlete” thathas helped to generate several major capital improve-ments on the Montlake Campus. In November of 2000the newly renovated Bank of America Arena at HecEdmundson Pavilion opened to rave reviews. The facilityalso provides the Husky volleyball and women’s gymnas-tics teams one of the best collegiate venues on the West

Coast. The Arena’s expanded lockerrooms, trainingroom, equipment room and new breakout meetingrooms benefit the entire athletic department.

The Arena is also home to numerous communityevents including high school championship tournamentsand graduation ceremonies.

The project also provided a home for the new $1million Husky Hall of Fame that opened in the fall of2002. For the first time ever, Husky fans and campus vis-itors have the opportunity to reliveWashington’s rich athletic tradition with anexhibit room dedicated to documentingover 100 years of achievements. The Hallof Fame spans the entire length of the westend of Bank of America Arena.

During September of 2001 Washingtonopened the $29 million Dempsey Indoormulti-purpose practice facility. With over100,000 square feet of competition space,Washington’s student-athletes have thenation’s finest multi-purpose practice set-ting for year-round training purposes.

In 2000, Hedges’ relationship with the NFL’s SeattleSeahawks resulted in a $1 million gift towards the instal-lation of a FieldTurf playing surface in Husky Stadium.Washington became just the second major college foot-ball program in the nation to play on the surface that haswon rave reviews from players on both the collegiate andprofessional levels.

In 2001 Washington added a new FieldTurf practicefield on the east end of Husky Stadium.

Still to come are stadium projects for the new soccerand baseball fields and a renovation of the ConibearShellhouse.

It seems like Hedges’ workload is never ending, butthat is a reflection of her commitment to making theWashington program one of the best in the nation. Theresults have been proven on the field of competition.

In just her first year on the job, in 1991, the Huskyfootball team posted a perfect 12-0 season by defeatingMichigan in the Rose Bowl and winning the nationalchampionship.

Over the past six years the Husky women’s crewteam has won at least one NCAA event title and capturedback-to-back team titles in 1997 and 1998, and again in2001. During the past five years the Husky softball teamhas proven to be the single-best athletic team in a townthat features professional teams in baseball, football,men’s basketball and women’s basketball, reaching theCollege World Series five of the last eight years.

In 2000-01, five Husky squads — men’s andwomen’s soccer, football, women’s basketballand women’s crew — won Pac-10Conference titles, and nine of the 23 Huskyteams earned final rankings in the top-15nationally in their respective sports.

Under Hedges’ direction the Husky golf,baseball and tennis programs have emergedon the national scene. Men’s soccer, women’srowing and softball have all been ranked No.1 in the nation during the past few years.

Hedges’ efforts in gender equity havemade Washington one of the national leaders

in providing equal opportunities for both male andfemale student-athletes. In December of 1997, TheChronicle of Higher Education cited Washington as “theonly Division I-A institution with an undergraduateenrollment that was at least 50 percent female to haveachieved substantial proportionality in both scholarshipsand participation.”

More important than just championships, underHedges’ guidance Washington has become one of thenational leaders in participation for student-athletes andcompliance. Last season over 650 student-athletes com-peted for Husky teams — the most in the Pac-10.

Hedges received her bachelor’s degree in physicaleducation from Arizona State University in 1963 whereshe was honored as the University’s outstanding physicaleducation major while also being named to Who’s Whoin American Colleges and Universities. She received hermaster’s from the University of Arizona in 1971.

Hedges was born August 23, 1937, in Glendale,Arizona. She and her husband, John, have two grownchildren, Mark and Gregg.

28 HUSKIES Gameday

HUSKY PROFILE / WOMEN’S CREW

by Lisa Krikava

n the early hours of the morning,when it is still dark and most peopleare sleeping, the members of theUniversity of Washington rowing teamrise groggily from their beds and troop

down to the boathouse for their 6:30 a.m. prac-tice. As the first bright rays of the sunrise illu-minate the water, these dedicated rowers arealready hard at work.

Most mornings mark just another typicalpractice, but for the first few weeks of October,these early morning practices have taken on anew meaning for Carrie Stasiak, AdrienneHunter, Lauren Estevenin, Heidi Hurn and AnneHessburg. These five Husky rowers are prepar-ing to race at the Head of the Charles, thelargest rowing race in the United States.

The Head of the Charles Regatta, whichtakes place in Cambridge, Mass., is one of thelargest two-day rowing events in the world. Itwas established in 1965 as a “head of the river”race, similar in tradition to rowing races held inEngland, and is generally three miles long.Boats race against both each other and theclock, starting sequentially, approximately fif-teen seconds apart. Winners of each racereceive the honorary title of “Head of the River”or, in this case, “Head of the Charles.”

Although the University of Washingtonwomen’s crew is among the best collegiate pro-grams nationwide, with a pair individual NCAAchampionships to its credit in 2002, the

Huskies have not raced at the Head of theCharles in more than 10 years.

“Traditionally, we don’t go because it’s notcost-effective,” says 2001 National Crew Coach ofthe Year Jan Harville. “It doesn’t fit into our raceschedule because it’s too early in our season.”

The Huskies do try to attend other largerevents whenever possible. One event the UWfrequents is the Henley Regatta in England, butdue to NCAA restrictions, they are only allowedto go once every four years. With another trip toHenley still off in the distant future, Harvillewanted to find other options for her program.

“I was looking for different opportunitiesand the Head of the Charles seemed to be thebest fit,” she says. “It’s a fun and exciting raceto participate in.”

Fun is not the only reason for racing, however.“I want to go and represent not only UW, but

also the West Coast schools in a race that tradi-tionally has been dominated by East Coastschools,” says Stasiak, the team Commodore.“Rowing is often thought of as a sport that isowned by the East Coast and I want to showthem what we have out here in the west.”

Stasiak, Hurn, Hunter, Estevenin andHessburg have a successful history together. Asfreshmen in 2000, the five were undefeated inthe women’s novice eight and went on as a var-sity four to capture the NCAA championship.Continuing to be successful throughout theirsophomore and junior years, the five werereunited in 2002 in the varsity eight, where theyagain went undefeated en route to an NCAA

crown.“I’m really excited to get back in the boat

with these four,” says coxswain Hessburg. “Wehad such an amazing freshman year, and now tobe back together three years later is going to begreat.”

The Head of the Charles has a notoriouslydifficult course. Situated on a river with a cur-rent, boats have to steer under and around fivebridges, sharp turns and narrow sections whereit is impossible to pass without veering off-course.

With a borrowed boat and oars from theHarvard women’s team, the Huskies will bestarting the race in the middle of the pack, sur-rounded by their competition. Although headraces are against the clock, it can become veryintense on the water when two boats fight forposition on the course.

“There are going to be a lot of boats thatwill try to keep us from passing them,” saysHessburg. “It’s going to be a battle out there.”

All are confident, however, that the Huskieswill be contenders at the finish line.

“We definitely want to do well,” saysHarville. “In terms of results and what theymean, this race is not going to be a big indica-tor for how our season is going to go. I’m notexpecting this to be our peak performance,especially three weeks into school, but obvious-ly we are going to put it all out there and doour best.”

Husky fans expect nothing less from a teamremains among the best, year after year.

30 HUSKIES Gameday

The Huskies’ national-championship varsity four, seen here at the 2000 Windermere Cup, was reunited this fall for the Head of theCharles Regatta.

With the stinging memory of a 23-6 loss to Michigan in the 1981 Rose Bowl as motivation, theHuskies entered the 1981 regular season determined to right what had gone wrong theprevious season. A 9-2 regular season, including a 13-3 win over third-ranked USC and a

23-10 win over the 14th-ranked Washington State Cougars earned the Huskies a trip back toPasadena in 1982, and a shot at revenge against the Big Ten Conference.

Washington entered the game against Iowa as an underdog forthe fourth time in as many bowl games under Don James, andfor the fourth time, the Huskies ignored the odds.

Sparked by the 142-yard, two-touchdown performance ofgame MVP Jacque Robinson, and a trio of interceptions by KenDriscoll, Vince Newsome and Derek Harvey, the Huskies routedIowa 28-0 for the fourth of seven UWRose Bowl titles all-time.

Uniquelypositioned at the crossroads of the world’seconomies and cultures, UCLA combines out-standing intellectual achievement with an innova-tive, entrepreneurial style and a deep sense ofcivic responsibility. Some of the university’s morenotable recent achievements include:Faculty, Students & Alumni

UCLA faculty have been awarded Nobel Prizestwo recent years: biochemist Paul Boyer in chem-istry (1997) and pharmacologist Louis Ignarro inmedicine (1998). Among faculty there have beenthree other Nobelists, nine National Medals ofScience recipients and hundreds of GuggenheimFellowships, Fulbright Awards and other academicdistinctions. UCLA educates more students thanother university in California and was the mostsought-after institution in the nation for this fall’sfreshman class. Each year at UCLA, more than2,000 undergraduates participate in the StudentResearch Program, working one-on-one withworld-renowned scholars as they discover and cre-ate new knowledge. UCLA’s alumni are bright starson the world stage. They include leaders of indus-try and commerce. Oscar, Grammy, Tony andEmmy winners. Philanthropists and public servants.Olympians and professional athletes. Educators,engineers, bankers and astronauts. Founded in1934, the UCLA Alumni Association serves morethan 75,000 members with a comprehensive arrayof services, programs and activities.Books & Technology

The UCLA Library is ranked among the top 10academic research libraries in North Americawith holdings of nearly 7.5 million volumes. Fromthe birth of the Internet at UCLA 30 years ago totoday, where more than one million cyber-travel-ers pass through key Internet home pages eachmonth, UCLA continues to be a leader inresources for learning. UCLA is nationally recog-

nized for developing ground-breaking computerservices for undergraduates and was the first uni-versity to have a Web site for every undergraduatestudent. The university provides an innovative, on-line tool called “My.ucla.edu,” which provides aWeb page tailored to each student’s academicneeds.

Outreach & Community ServiceFrom its founding, UCLA has been an integral

and contributing part of the greater Los Angelescommunity. Outreach programs and volunteerismare as much a part of UCLA as academics andresearch, with hundreds of UCLA-sponsored pro-grams providing a wide range of opportunities.Nearly 30 percent of UCLA’s undergraduates vol-unteer for these programs, including tutoringyouths, adults and incarcerated youths; address-ing health and educational needs of underservedcommunities; combating poverty and homeless-ness; aiding the elderly and disabled; and provid-ing legal, social, medical and educational assis-tance to community residents.

Through academic outreach, UCLA works withK-12 schools throughout Los Angeles to helpgreater numbers of students prepare to competesuccessfully for college. UCLA also is partnering

with community collegesto increase the number ofunderrepresented studentstransferring to the univer-sity. Additionally, UCLA fac-ulty, researchers and stu-dents provide leadershipand public service inhealth care, law, economicdevelopment, social wel-fare, urban planning, pub-lic policy, arts and theenvironment.

major research projects, field studies or studentinternships that directly effect people’s lives in LosAngeles, the state and the nation.Health Care

Each year more than 300,000 patients fromSouthern California, the U.S. and around theglobe come to the world-renowned UCLA MedicalCenter for treatment, while thousands more arearesidents receive care through a network of pri-mary care offices and community outreach healthprograms. The four schools in the medical enter-prise are medicine, dentistry, nursing and publichealth. The medical center has been ranked asthe best hospital in the West by U.S. News &World Report for 11 consecutive years.Groundbreaking research is constantly takingplace in the Jonsson Comprehensive CancerCenter, the Gonda (Goldschmied) Neuroscienceand Genetics Research Center and in many othercenters and laboratories on campus.Arts

2002 UCLA FOOTBALL

HUSKIES Gameday 39

by Steve Hitchcock

he temperature is 100 degrees — OK, 110degrees if you factor in the humidity.

Kevin Ware rises from his bed in his home-town of Spring, Texas, and smiles. What abeautiful day for a workout.

“I was born in San Diego, and my parentsmade the move to Texas, that was basically where I wasraised,” says the 6-foot-3, 255-pound Husky tight end. “Ilove Texas to death when all is said and done.”

In the state of bigger and better, George W., and theTexas Longhorns, it may be a bit confusing as to howWare ended up in the great Northwest, instead of one ofthe many storied football programs of the Lone Star state.True, too, is the fact that the University of Washington pri-marily recruits players from the West Coast.

So how did this gem of a play-er pick the Huskies?

“It was a personal choice,”Ware says. “I knew this was ‘TightEnd U,’ and I had my heartfocused on playing tight end. Iknew this was probably the bestplace for me to go. I made thetrip up here and loved it, and I’veloved it ever since.”

Just one of three Texas nativeson the Huskies’ 2002 roster (joining senior linebackerHoudini Jackson and freshman defensive back ScottBallew), Ware’s assessment of the Huskies’ tight end his-tory is certainly accurate. The past six UW starters (andone back up) at the tight end position have gone to thepro ranks, and two — Mark Bruener and Ernie Conwell— have started in the Super Bowl. The Huskies’ history,though, and the implications for Ware himself, are fur-thest from his mind on game day. He is more concernedwith blocking the oxen on the opposing defensive line.

“It’s a tough position, because you’ve got to hang inthere with the big boys,” he says. “When you’re messingaround with the 300-pounders, you’ve definitely got to

buckle the chin straps up a little tighter and get ready togo. I’ll always have that mind set as a tight end: blockfirst and catch second; that’s just how I’ve always been.Catching balls and getting your name in the paper hasalways just been a bonus for me.”

This year, that bonus has come practically every week.After catching only eight balls in his first three years onthe field, Ware has made a significant impact as a seniorwith four touchdowns in the team’s first seven games,including one in the Big House amidst 108,000 cheeringMichigan fans, and a pair of scores against Idaho.

“The fun part of this game is to go out there and seehow you do against some of the top guys,” Ware says.

“You get to go out there and whup their headaround a little bit, and that feels really good.”

Ware started out playing football in the pee-wee ranks, and although he has settled in nicelyat the tight end position, it isn’t necessarilywhere he thought he would end up.

“I remember one day back when I was inelementary school and I was at lunch,” he says.“I saw kids coming to class with their little foot-ball pants and little jerseys on and it lookedinteresting. I thought, ‘What are these guysdoing?’ I talked to my dad, and said I wanted totry it. I was a big kid, so at first I played full-back.”

Although football is practically a religion inTexas, Ware wasn’t sure he wanted to play inthe South. The transition from Texas to Seattle,though, wasn’t easy.

“The first year was tough,” he says. “Seattleis a long way from home, so I couldn’t just getup and leave. I had to grow up fast. I could talkto my parents every day if I wanted to, and justhearing their voice was very comforting. You’refaced with different issues that force you togrow up in a hurry.”

Ware found it difficult to make friends in thedorms at Washington, and thus made the deci-sion to join a fraternity, Delta Tau Delta, a routerarely taken by members of the football team.

“I didn’t like the dorms, it just wasn’t theplace for me,” he says. “I had a good friend atthe fraternity who said it was just a differentexperience, a lot of cool guys. I went to thehouse and met a lot of cool people, people Inow consider life-long friends.”

The time commitments for both football andthe fraternity made for long days, which made athird factor — school — that much tougher,and at the same time, that much more reward-ing.

“School was the biggest challenge,” he says.“In high school, you could easily get by, buthere you’ve got to study your books. Teachersaren’t going to just give you grades. You’ve gotto have the mindset that you have to go toschool every day and do your readings. It’ssomething I had to adjust to. I know a lot ofguys who go elsewhere where school isn’t a bigdeal for them. This being one of the top institu-tions in the country, you’ve got to have yourhead in it. Getting an education from this schoolis definitely going to help me prosper in life.”

As his freshman year drew to a close, Warefound himself headed in all the right directions,and today he finds himself on top of the tightend world. With success on the field and in theclassroom, it would be easy for Ware to becomecocky and look toward a future in the NFL.Looking beyond this year, though, is somethingthe tight end tries to avoid.

“I want to finish school and concentrate onwhat I have on my plate right now,” he says. “I

don’t want to get to ahead of my skis. I justwant to keep going out there and playing thegame I love, and keep doing well. I want tomake sure I get my degree. Hopefully I can goto the professional ranks, but if not, I’ll have mydegree, and start my life from there.”

If the commitment and hard work Ware hasput into college thus far is any indication ofhow he will do in the future, the years ahead

look exceedingly bright. Of course, Ware wouldnever say that himself.

“I’ve got a lot of friends and family watch-ing, and I don’t want to disappoint people,” hesays. “I love the game, and to come to UW andbe a tight end is motivation for myself, to keepthe tradition alive, and to make this school lookgreat.

“It keeps me going.”

Despite just one season as the Huskies’ full-time starter, Ware has already cracked theUW’s top-10 in receptions by a tight end.

THE UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON

Founded in 1861, the University of Washington is one of the foremostinstitutions of higher education in the nation, richly combining itsresearch, instructional and public service missions.

Its internationally acclaimed faculty includes five Nobel Laureates andthe winner of the 1990 National Book Award for Fiction. Washington ispart of an elite group of research universities whose contributions toAmerican life are unique because they generate the basic knowledge uponwhich practical innovations are based.

The UW student body on the Seattle campus totals about 37,000, withan undergraduate enrollment of approximately 26,800. The UW also hascampuses in Bothell and Tacoma, designed primarily for upper division(junior and senior) undergraduates and master’s level graduate programs.Total enrollment at these campuses is about 3,600.

For more than 30 years, the university has been among the country’stop five institutions in the dollar value of federal research grants and con-tracts awarded to its faculty. In 2000, the most recent year for which thatdata has been collected, the UW ranked second. Total grant and contractactivity for 2001 exceeded $700 million. More than 80 percent of the uni-versity’s grant and contract funds come from federal agencies. Researchcontributes directly to the educational goals of graduate and professionalstudents, as well as to those of undergraduates.

Instruction and research at Washington are supported by a library sys-tem that is one of the most extensive in the nation, consisting of five majorunits and 18 branches, as well as libraries at UW Tacoma and UW Bothell,together housing more than five million volumes. In addition to offeringinstruction in more than 100 academic disciplines, the university offers aspectrum of continuing education courses that advance technical and pro-fessional skills and provide opportunities for personal growth and enrich-ment.

Washington has 17 major schools and colleges: Architecture and UrbanPlanning, Arts and Sciences, Business Administration, Dentistry, Education,Engineering, Forest Resources, The Graduate School, The InformationSchool, Law, Medicine, Nursing, Ocean and Fishery Sciences, Pharmacy,Public Affairs, Public Health and Community Medicine, and Social Work.

About 90 percent of the University’s undergraduate students are stateresidents, although instructional programs draw students from everyregion of the country and overseas.

Most freshmen entering Washington are in the top third of their high

school graduating classes. In 2001, the average incoming freshman boast-ed a 3.63 high school grade point average and an 1,159 SAT score.

Beyond its academic and service missions, the UW has a strong eco-nomic impact on Washington and the Pacific Northwest.

With about 20,000 employees, Washington is the second-largest employer in King County. Washington operates theUniversity of Washington Medical Center and Harborview MedicalCenter, which annually provide more than 200,000 days ofpatient care and record more than 300,000 visits to their outpa-tient clinics.

Washington also plays a critical role in attracting new busi-ness to the region. It provides these, and established businesses,with a steady stream of well-educated graduates and with highlyskilled faculty members who assist business and industry in avariety of ways.

The University of Washington in Seattle is located on 703acres in the city’s northeast residential area, a beautiful setting onthe shore of Lake Washington and Portage Bay. The majesticCascade Mountains can be seen to the east and the Olympicsloom to the west, while the western view includes downtownSeattle and Lake Union. The combination of this spectacular set-ting with buildings in both neo-Gothic and modern styles gives thecampus a distinctive aura.

HUSKIES Gameday 53

Many people look back on their schooldays and remember how much flexibili-ty and free time they had. While many

college students have additional responsibilitiessuch as work and families, student-athletes alsocarry additional responsibilities and havenumerous time commitments on a daily basis.Nationwide, student-athletes often voice con-cern about how to get it all done. How can theyperform at their athletic peak, maintain theirhealth, excel as students, take advantage ofcommunity outreach opportunities, and stillhave a life of their own?

Due to these concerns, in the early 1990’sthe NCAA member institutions adopted regula-tions limiting the number of games in a season,the length of the playing season, and the num-ber of hours each day and each week that stu-dent-athletes can be required to participate inathletically-related activities. Those regulationsdivide each team’s season into two segments:one a declared playing and practice season of aspecified length (144 days for most sports),

and the other comprised of the remainder ofthe academic year.

During the declared playing and practiceseason, student-athletes cannot be required toparticipate in athletically-related activity for

more than fourhours a day, or 20hours a week.Student-athletesmust also receive atleast one day offfrom all requiredathletically-relatedactivities eachweek. Outside of the playing and practice sea-son only strength and conditioning activities areallowed and student-athletes cannot berequired to participate in those activities formore than eight hours each week. During thistime period, football student-athletes are alsopermitted up to two hours of film review withinthe permissible eight hours total.

Although these regulations limit the timedemands on student-athletes to some extent, itis not surprising that student-athletes must stillmake every effort, every day, to excel in theclassroom, in the community, and in their cho-sen sport.

HUSKY PROFILE / PAIGE MACKENZIE

by Mason Kelley

here is nothing quite likebeing out on a golf course— few places that look as

pristine can cause so muchfrustration. Golf is a game apatience, a craft that has to be

refined with years of hard work andexpert tutelage.

Paige Mackenzie has spent much ofher life on the golf course. In fact, herparents Hugh and Caren have been tak-ing Paige and her brother, fellow Huskygolfer Brock Mackenzie, out to thecourse since they were toddlers.

“I got my first set of golf clubs whenI was three and I just started chippingaway with my parents,” Paige says. “Myparents are not the type of high-pres-sure, overbearing sports parents,though. If I did not feel like playing, Iwould take my dolls along and play inthe cart. When I wanted to, I couldjump out for a hole or two and then Iwould get bored and jump back in thecart.”

Over time, Mackenzie reached lessfor the dolls and more for the golfclubs, eventually becoming determinedto play at the collegiate level. Her broth-er made the trek to UW a year beforePaige, but that wasn’t a major factor inher decision to become a Husky.

“I took visits to Oregon, OregonState, and Cal,” Mackenzie says. “Thefact that Brock was here was good, butwe weren’t very close in high school; wedidn’t get close until he left for UW. Hemay have had some influence, but I justwanted to be a Husky.”

A native of Yakima, Wash.,Mackenzie was intimidated as much by the balance ofschool and sports as she was by the transition from smalltown to big city.

“My first quarter was really tough on me,” she says.“Golf took up so much of my time that there wasn’t muchtime left for school. I was a really good student in highschool and I was used to devoting as much time as Ineeded to do well in school.”

Having a year under her belt has helped Mackenzie inher development, both as a student and a golfer. Once she

developed a routine and became more comfortable withher surroundings, it was smooth sailing.

“There has been a huge difference in her game thisyear,” says head coach Mary Lou Mulflur. “The first yearis so hard. It doesn’t matter how close or how far you areaway from home. There is nothing that can prepare youfor the rigors of athletics at this level. She is a completelydifferent player from last year to this year.”

That is not to say that Mackenzie did not have animpact on the team as a freshman. She competed in everytournament and was the top Husky finisher at the NCAAChampionships at Washington National Golf Course inAuburn, Wash.

“Paige had an immediate impact,” Mulflur says. “Shewants to be the best player on the team. She is not cockyabout it, she just wants to be the best no matter who sheis playing with.”

Now that Mackenzie has had a season to becomeacclimated to her surroundings, she has been able todraw more enjoyment from the game.

“So far this season has been awesome,” Mackenziesays. “Our team has two second-place finishes. I am soexcited that we have such a great team this year; this sea-son is going to be fun. We are the deepest we have beenin a long time.”

Despite her the early success, Mackenzie remains crit-ical of her game. She is not over-confident and does notallow herself the luxury of looking back at what she hasaccomplished.

“It is hard to look at how far I have come because Ican only see things I need to improve on, so I haven’treally thought about that too much,” she says. “I have somuch more to work for and so much room to improve.”

Mackenzie’s work ethic is so intense that it is evenhard for coach Mulflur to believe.

“She is a really hard worker,” Mulflur says. “I don’tknow what Caren and Hugh did with those kids but nei-ther one is afraid of hard work. They are not afraid to putin the long, lonely hours on the practice green or on thedriving range that you have to put in to be successful.”

Mackenzie has come a long way in her year and a halfas a member of the Husky golf team, but has not let suc-cess go to her head. She knows what it will take for herto make it to the LPGA tour, and while that is still twoyears away, she can’t hide her desire to make it.

“My goal right now is to turn professional after I finishcollege, so I’d better be one of the top golfers in thecountry,” she says. “I have to have a name that is recog-nizable, or else I am not going to make it.”

With her talent and work ethic, Mackenzie is makingsure that her name is not one that will be soon forgotten.

Mackenzie got off to ahot start in 2002 with athird-place finish at theseason-opening NewMexico Inviational.

Supporting Athletic Achievement

Aproject that is fun-damentally chang-ing the way schol-ars look at the

ancient world and theteachings of the Buddhahas received a major addi-tion.

A birch bark manu-script from a Buddhistmonastery, believed tohave been written in thefirst or second centuryA.D., was recentlyacquired by the Universityof Washington Librariesand will become a keycomponent of the EarlyBuddhist ManuscriptsProject.

Betsy Wilson, directorof UW Libraries, says,“This acquisition ensuresthat this important manu-script is preserved andmade available to genera-tions of scholars to come.It will enable scholars tocreate new knowledge andunderstanding from this ancient text.”

The manuscript is among the earliestBuddhist writings known to exist. A private col-lector who recently died owned the manuscript.The chain of possession from its location oforigin to the collector is unknown.

The manuscript consists of eight fragmentsof a scroll and is written in the Gandhari lan-guage, a derivative of Sanskrit. The style ofscript and the language suggest the manuscriptcomes from Gandhara, a region of what is noweastern Afghanistan and northern Pakistan.Gandhara was an early, vibrant center ofBuddhism and occupied a pivotal role in thespread of Buddhism from India to Central Asia,China and the rest of East Asia. Some of themost influential schools of Buddhism in the firstcentury were located in Gandhara.

The clarity of the writing and the quality ofthe preservation of the new scroll are impres-sive, says Richard Salomon, UW professor ofAsian Languages and Literature. In just a fewweeks, the Early Buddhist Manuscripts Project’s

team of faculty and graduate students has man-aged to decipher nearly three-quarters of thetext. The part that remains will yield its cluesonly grudgingly and over a long period of time,researchers say, and deciphering the text is justthe first step in analyzing the information.

Despite advances in digital technology, theability to have the original manuscript on site isof great value, Salomon says. “There are stillthings you can determine by looking at theoriginal manuscript that are impossible witheven the best digital images.”

If the UW had not purchased the manuscriptit could well have gone back into a private col-lection and disappeared again from public view,Salomon says. The purchase was made possi-ble by private donations.

The UW manuscript comes from a branch ofBuddhist scholastic literature known as abhid-harma. It is a commentary, offering interpreta-tions of the Buddha’s teachings.

“The topic of this text, as in many earlyBuddhist writings, is the problem of suffering,”

says Collett Cox, UW pro-fessor of Asian languagesand literature.

“This text is very excit-ing, because it is the earli-est commentary that we’vefound. All other early textshave been extensivelyreworked. This is clearlyin its ‘raw’ form. We canonly speculate on how itwas used, but it is possiblethat it was lecture outlinesfor teaching in themonastery. Buddhism wasjust moving from an oraltradition to writing. Thismanuscript will give usinsight into how textualcollections developed—not just how texts evolvedover time, but how themonastic community usedthem. We will learn moreabout what early teachersthought was importantabout the history ofBuddhism prior to thattime, what they thought

was worth passing on to future generations.We’re seeing a stage of development in the his-tory of Buddhism of which just a few years agowe were completely ignorant.”

The UW manuscript complements anothergroup of manuscripts acquired by the BritishLibrary in 1994, which also is thought to comefrom Gandhara at around the same time.Salomon and the team have been at work for thepast six years, trying to decipher the letters,words and sentences in that manuscript. So far,they have published three volumes analyzing por-tions of the text. Until the discovery of the BritishLibrary manuscripts, no Buddhist manuscripts ofthis type had been found in 100 years.

The Early Buddhist Manuscripts Project is apartnership between the UW and the BritishLibrary.

“Our work is only beginning to come outand make its way into the scholarly communi-ty,” Cox says. “We definitely will not completethe work of deciphering and analyzing the textsin our lifetime.”

HUSKY PROFILE / JEREMY PARK

by Theresa Ripp

hen Jeremy Park toes the line on a cross-country course, healways knows what he wants to accomplish — he just doesn’t

always expect it to happen.In 1997, as a junior at Klamath Union High School in

Klamath Falls, Ore., everything Park wanted to accomplish in across-country meet actually happened.

“I came into the state championships and wasn’t expected to finisheven among the top-10,” Park says. “I had just come in fifth in the districtmeet. I don’t know how it happened, but I won State. It was incredible.”

Now, as a senior on the University of Washington’s cross-country team,the unexpected has one more chance to happen again.

Born in Los Angeles, Calif., Park and his parents, Tom and Edith,moved to Klamath Falls when he was five. Park participated in soccer, bas-ketball and football. He did not become interested in running until hiseighth grade P.E. class at Ponderosa Middle School.

“I really enjoyed the cross-country section,” he says. “My teacher,Coach Delaney, made me go out for wrestling and track that year. That wasthe only year I did wrestling, but I have been running ever since.”

Park had a stellar cross-country career in high school, running withthe varsity all four years. Besides being the individual state champion in1997, he also captained his the cross-country squad to the state and dis-trict championships, and placed third at the state track championships inthe 1,500-meter run during his senior year.

“The best thing about cross-country is competing against other peo-ple,” says Park. “When I am running, I try not to think about running. Ireally don’t think about anything.”

After enrolling at Portland State in 1997, Park was forced to thinkwhen the Vikings’ coaching staff was let go following his sophomore sea-son.

“I liked our current coach and would rather be able to choose mycoach,” Park says. “I talked to Greg Metcalf at Washington. I had talked tohim in past years and really liked him, so I transferred to Washington.”

During the 2001 season, Park ran in Washington’s top-four at everymeet. He ran second on the squad, 42nd overall, at the Pre-National meetin Greenville, S.C., helping the Huskies to an eighth-place finish. It is thelife of a cross-country runner, though, that much of what you do occursoutside the collegiate sports spotlight.

“I do wish that cross-country overall received more support,” saysPark, “but at Washington, the cross-country team receives more supportthan at most schools. That is another reason I decided to transfer here.”

Park ran third on the team at both the 2001 Pac-10 Championshipsand the 2001 NCAA West Regional meet, with respective finishes of 24thand 30th overall.

“I haven’t really set any personal goals for the current cross-countryseason,” he says. “I really just want to help the team go to nationals. Wehave been on the bubble for a long time. It would be nice if we could justfinally go to nationals as a team.”

Park is majoring in electrical engineering while at Washington, andplans to continue running after graduation to train for the 2004 Olympictrials.

“It is important to always run for yourself first, and not worry withwhat other people want you to accomplish,” he says. “If you can figurethat out, then you can do anything.”

Park has one fan who doesn’t worry about his accomplishments. Thisfan just likes to watch her older brother run.

“My younger sister Christina likes to watch me run, but doesn’t like torun herself,” Park says.

Christina is nine years old, too young to remember her older brotherrunning with their dog, Biff, in the hills and trails behind their house. Rainor shine, Park would run, thinking of things he wanted to accomplish, justnot sure if what he wanted would happen.

State championship? Check.College scholarship? Check.Toeing the line at the NCAA Championships? If his track record is any

indication, there will be a check in that box very soon.

WIn additionto his cross-country success,Park was theeighth-best finisher in the1,500 meters at the 2002 Pac-10 TrackChampionships.

HUSKY ATHLETICSA Tradition of Success on the Field and in the Classroom

Husky Athletics is about young men and women competing on a national level athletically while succeeding academically at theUniversity of Washington. This fall, 650 student athletes will don the purple and gold and compete for the Huskies on 21teams. The cost to recruit and retain world class student-athletes is high. In 2001-2002, Husky supporters invested $5 million

in student-athlete scholarships. With the recent 16 percent increase in tuition, that figure will increase by $400,000 this year.

HELP A HUSKY STUDENT ATHLETE

Because the athletic program is self-sustaining and does not receive state or Universitysubsidies, this increased cost will need to be raised privately.We will be asking all Huskies to considermaking a contribution specificallyearmarked for scholarship support.

HELP YOURSELF

In addition to feeling good about helpingHusky student-athletes, you will help yourselfthree ways: (1) This contribution is 100 percent taxdeductible. (2) This contribution will count toward

important Tyee Points for Tyee seat holders. These points will be added immediately and will affectyour 2003 football and basketball seats. (3) Scholarship donors $5,500 and up will be invited tothe annual Donor Appreciation Scholarship Luncheon and have a chance to meet the student-athletethey support.

“Being at Washington has been a life-changing experience for me.My athletic scholarship has provided me the opportunity to explorenew educational boundaries, and I will leave here a better person asa result. I will forever be in debt to Husky fans, who support thescholarship program.” — Anthony Kelley
