But Bob Deming stood outside in the rain and wiped the glass clean so all could get their jobs done. It may have seemed a little odd for the athletic director of a nationally recognized college to be doing maintenance work, but for Deming it was a part of the job description. Deming, Ithaca College's athletic director since 1980, closed a chapter in the College's history book last week by announcing his retirement, effective August 1997. In many ways, the THE ITHACAN'S VIEW athletic program developed under Deming represents a true commitment to excel­ lence. Deming believed that the athletic program's top priority should be to provide student-athletes with the best possible opportunities. It was this belief that led to the outstanding achievement of the Bomber program during the past 16 years. The accomplishments of the athletic program can certainly not be completely attributed to Deming's leadership, but it was his guidance that fostered success. Both the baseball and football teams had achieved prominence before Deming became director, but during his tenure, almost all of the LETTERS . other athletic programs have established a successful record. The field hockey, football, baseball and wrestling teams have all captured national titles. The volleyball, men's and women's soccer and gymnas­ tics teams have all finished nationally in Division Ill. Campus unity can only come But a successful program goes beyond capturing national titles. Deming's support of a quality coaching staff is one of his greatest accomplishments. His commitment to having full-time professional coaches gives Ithaca College athletes opportunities not often seen at with respect and recognition the Division Ill level. Further, few programs can be successful without stability. By In rrsponse to the Feb. 22, maintaining an honest relationship with his coaches, Deming encour­ I 996, letter to The Ithacan, I do feel that in order.to bring .the community aged many of them to make coaching at Ithaca College a career.
