:ed 7th, could surprise so

\th, respectively. Ask USO coach Hank Egan, and he can't disagree. ·Based on last season, I think that's where I'd put us," said Egan, whose Toreros (11-17, 3-11) finished seventh. 'But it means absolutely nothing. I don't believe in the stuff. If (polls) were true, why would you even play the games?" Good point, especially when it comes. to USO and the '88-89 season. Egan has as young a team as last season - the 15-man roster lists seven freshmen and five sophomores. Yet Egan seems to be smiling more since practice began Oct. 15. He has seen his freshmen play. Afld he has learned of two freshmen- to-be. ''This is the last year for the ex- cuses - I really mean it," Egan told the conference's media. "We have some good freshmen, and we have got two commitments that we can't mention yet who will fill the big-man needs for the future." NCAA rules proh1b1t Egan from mentioning recruits' names until the

national-letter-of-intent signing peri- od opens Nov. 9. But one of the two is Escondido High's 6-foot-9 Brooks Barnhart, who issued an oral com- mitment late last month. For the time being, Egan must make due with what's left from last season and his seven freshmen. Which isn't so bad. Three freshmen - 6-5 point guard Gaylan Dottin (Santa Ana 's Saddleback High), guard Wayman Strickland (San Francisco's Riordon High) and forward Kelvin Woods (Laverne's Damien High) - are considered "impact" players by Egan. "I think you're going to see a team at the University of San Diego that's a little more athletic than ones in the past," Egan said. "Give us time and I think we're going to be a pretty good program again." It was only two seasons ago the Toreros finished 24-6 overall and 13-1 in the WCAC before losing a heart- breaker to Auburn in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. But grad- uation and a rule change changed

that quickly. The NCAA rule change c cerned the eligibility of eommu ity-college transfers, making it tougher for them to qualify under USD's itrict aca- demic requirements. So u program that was top-heavy with upperclass- men suddenly became bottorn-heavy with teen-agers. One of the team's two seniors is Danny Means, who moves back to • off-guard after a season at the point He has seen both sides of the coin, as the young guy on an experienced team and now as the veteran on an inexperienced team. He, too, doesn't dispute the dour prognostications. "l wouldn't put us any higher after our season last year," said Mean the only returning starter on a team with eight returnees. "On paper, we don't look very good. But I think we will surprise some people. Our team is more together this y.ear. I think a lot of the problem last year was that we weren't a unit. We are now." Look out, above.

LOS ANGELES - One of the na- tion's top defensive or top offensive teams will win the West Coast Ath- letic Conference basketball title this season. It depends on whom you poll. Ask the media in the league cities, and St. Mary's, which held opponents to an average of 58.6 points last sea- son, will win only its second title in the WCAC's 36-year history. Ask the national media, and Loyola Marym- ount, which averaged a Division ]. leading 110.3 points, will repeat as champion. Ask anyone, and USO will finish, well, not exactly at the top. The WCAC writers' poll released at yes- terday's media day here placed the Toreros seventh in the eight-team conference. Most national publica- tions have the Toreros seventh, too, J except Dick Vita/e's Basketball and Playboy, which rank them sixth and

Vnifficult 'J-'t 'J{ to believe accusations A local media reporter con tacted me r7cently about my ex- perience while working for Con- gressman Jim Bates. The reporter wanted to know if I was a victim of sexual harassment while in the employ of the congressman. To date r haven't seen or heard one wor~ of my interview in the medra. To give a bit of background _ I worked for Congressman Baros for. over two . and a half years after graduatrng from UCLA Wll_h a degree in political s?cwlogy. I worked both in the field and in his office as a field representative. I left his employ 1 ? atte nd USD School of La graduating 'last May. la m cu~:-- rent(Y. working at a la1,1, firm and awaiting the results of CI''" . my a 1Jorn1a Bar Examination It's true I heard compl~mts from other employees about how hard I he congressman worked us He_beli~ved everyone had to puli r_he1r _fair share in seeing that his c_onstituents received reprc,cnra- llon . However, in all the time r worked for _the congressman, I never experienced, witnessed or

heard any incidents of sexual harassment. Bar es showed respect for his staff, both female and male, and was never less than a gentleman . It's true the congressman has a good wit, but none of the humor of that office was any different rhan that of other offices where I have ,worked or had associations . I can I couccive of anyone taking offense 10 any statement the con- gressma_n might have made. It was a nrce place to work, with a lot of comradery and good - natured humor, but nothing in bad taste. I find it hard to believe that anyone would give credence to the complaints of a former staff membe~, now in the employ of a Republican congressman, who ~.uddenly and mysterio usly confesses all," eight mon ths a_fter these so-called terri ble in- cidents took place.
