The May 7 Portland Press Herald editorial page once again called for the dismissal of UMaine hockey coach Shawn Walsh. Renewing its editorial attack from last December, when Walsh was given a one year suspension, the paper called on campus officials to "Let right be the prize, not winning games," and said that "Sports teach the wrong lesson at UM as long as they include Shawn Walsh." The paper accused university officials of trying to "hoodwink" both the NC$$ and Maine citizens with their response to the NC$$ allegations. "As far as university explainers are concerned, Shawn Walsh wasn't running hockey by a rogue set of rules aimed at winning, whatever the cost. He (1) simply did not know the rules of his trade, (2) saw no reason not to interfere as he liked with people likely to be questioned in the NCAA's investigation, and (3) thought $1,700 given to him in prohibition of NCAA rules during a previous suspension was only an innocent "Christmas present. If there are professors on the Orono campus who'll give that lame chain of explanations a passing grade, we'd like to meet them." The paper then praises the changes in personnel and policy in the athletic department and compliance system, but says "Fred Hutchinson needs to decide what his administration will teach new generations of Mainers. If the answer is to be integrity, honesty and choosing right over expediency, the place to start now, as it was in December, is by firing Shawn Walsh." *Quotes and all quoted material from the Portland Press Herald* John Forsyth HOCKEY-L is for discussion of college ice hockey; send information to [log in to unmask], The College Hockey Information List.
