CAMPUS SPORTS Letter to the editor from Jason Gesser
By Jason Gesser Assistant Director of Athletics of Cougar Athletic Fund Throughout the last 20 years of my life, I have unwaveringly supported Washington State University as a WSU student- athlete, proud alumnus and now employee of the athletic depart- ment. So, I was very disheart- ened to read the story published in the Evergreen stemming from rumors and unfounded accusations regarding my pro- fessional conduct. While I am grateful that our institution fully investigates accusations of impropriety, I am disappointed that the unfounded complaints submitted to the Office for Equal Opportunity and the Office of Internal Audits have been made public, needlessly ABBY LINNENKOHL | THE DAILY EVERGREEN affecting individuals who don’t While telling the story of his life, Ryan Leaf, former WSU quarterback, describes the importance deserve public scrutiny and of being a better human than a football player Thursday evening in the Cougar Football Complex. criticism.

The vehicles, also known as “Gators,” remedy the issue of navigat- ing through difficult paths that would prevent injured athletes from getting quick attention. The Gators will be available at Pullman High School and Potlatch High School, according to a press release from Pullman Regional Hospital. The distance between Potlatch High School and the field posed a safety issue, Alison Weigley, assistant director of Development, Marketing and Major Gifts, said. Having a vehicle that quickly covers the distance from the field and the school was needed, she said. The Gator has good terrain tires and has a significant horsepower, Weigley said. In addition, athletic train- ers driving the vehicles would have a gear bag filled with medical supplies that could treat any minor injuries. “This isn’t replacing [emergency medical technicians], not replacing an ambulance,” Weigley said. “It’s the first COURTESY OF FLICKR COMMONS person on the field to be able to make a medical assessment as to how severe The goal of the “Gators” is to transport injured athletes to medical attention quickly and efficiently. the injury is.” the Regional High School Athletic Potlatch and Pullman school dis- whose vision was to ensure safety letic trainer is not typical for small The Gator is not only beneficial Training Program. tricts.

The second annual Crimson Coat ceremony welcomed six new senior leaders to WSU on Thursday evening. President Kirk Schulz and First Lady Noel Schulz established the ceremony last fall for incoming senior leaders. Each individual received a crimson coat and Schulz introduced the recipients to the public. Lisa Calvert, vice president for advancement and CEO of the WSU Foundation, started her position at WSU on Oct. 25, 2017. Calvert has served at different executive and fundraising positions for the past 30 years. She said she was attracted to WSU because of the reputation it has for fundraising, the opportunity to work with Schulz and the WSU medical school. Calvert said she plans on bringing funds in to WSU by facilitating the aspirations of the institution and matching them with generous donors. Patrick Chun started his position as athletic director at WSU on Feb. 5, 2017. He is the first Asian-American athletic director for a Power 5 school.

By Kendrick Richardson Evergreen columnist
n ad campaign from a foot- wear company features a man who’s famous for not standing onA his feet. That wasn’t a joke — it actually hap- pened. Once we thought anthem kneel- ing was dying out, Colin Kaepernick comes back into the spotlight, but this time it’s for Nike’s “Just Do It” cam- paign. When I first saw the ad, I just assumed it was a promotion for Nike knee pads. However, the caption did not say “for those with the weakest of knees.” Instead, it was more political: “Believe in something, even if it means sacrificing everything.” If you are unfamiliar with the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback, he made headlines two years ago when he was “brave” enough to start kneeling during the national anthem. “I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color,” Kaepernick said in an interview with NFL Media.
