It will no longer be enough to watch NIU's football team muddle through another sub-par season When former head coach Pat Culpepper was fired in December of 1979 the message rang loud and clear, directly from the President's office in Lowden Hall.

A sorely needed commitment to the football program was finally going to be made, to the tune of a 65 percent budget increase, regular use of automobiles for recuiting, additional assistant coaches with larger salaries, not to mention newly carpeted playing surface a $360,500 rug that promises to soften a season's worth of bumps and bruises. There was no rationale in Culpepper's dismisal only that President William Monat and Assistant to the President McKinley "Deacon" Davis did not care for the man or his ouspoken manner against what he felt were intolerable working conditions. The decision was made. Culpepper did not belong here. It didn't matter that he and his staff were finally getting to the point where improvement was becoming visible in terms of games won and lost, without the benefit of a geniune commitment.

Sadly, the burden now rests with a newcomer, one who should be given time to build HIS program, HIS own way, but at NIU time is running out. How much longer will athletic boosters continue to pump in hard earned dollars with little or nothing to show for their efforts? How much longer will the community continue to back a football learn that has been nothing more than mediocre on the field and "barely worth their notice? And how much longer will the so-called "minor sports" at the university survive without budget increases? Remember, NIU's athletic board voted last May to cut or hold the line concerning the budgets for all men's sports except football in order to maintain a balanced budget. The board allocated $200,000 for football in 1980 compared to $124,378 in 1979.

Gymnastics coach Chuck Ehrlich might be next It should be noted that much of the inflated budget will be spent to fly the Huskies to Long Beach Calif, and to Wichita, Kan. for non-conference games with distant rivals. The New AstroTurf recently installed in Huskie Stadium has been in the works for some time, and wasn't something put in just because of the administrations sudden change in philosophy or was it? Are all of the newly affordable luxuries coincidental or are they in fact part of a planned scheme? The theory, probably contrived by Davis, is a simple one. A winning football team will generate revenue, provide funds for the minor sports and bring NIU long overdue recognition. But Davis has discovered, it takes large sums of money to build a winner.

Until now, NIU wasn't ready to spend the quanitiy necessary to rectify the situation that presented another problem and caused a computer to spit out the theory, spindled and stapled, with a message Reject! The burden now rests with a new coach, Bill Mallory, brought in direct from his Colorado ranch where he spent last year watching films trying to stay in contact with the game he knew he couldn't get away from. He was fired after five years of coaching at Colorado, despite a 35-21-1 record competing in the rugged Big Eight Athletic Conference, judged not good enough by his former employers. And after spending a year detached from football, Mallory must now face the problems and challenges that NIU presents as he prepares to launch a new era in Huskie football, an era that may determine the future of NIU's athletic endeavers. He must feel a tremendous amount of pressure. He dare not fail.

But Mallory says lie does not feel any outside pressure from the community or the university only the pressure he puts on himself to produce a winning team. "Putting the cars, the money, all of those things aside, I don't care what the situation is, I want to win," Mallory said during a break between practice sessions. "I don't feel any more pressure than I normally would. "I always put pressure on myself and the people around me to-let them know that we want to get things clicking as soon as possible. "I don't think being away from football for only one year will hurt me as a coach.

I hope not. I tried to keep abreast by watching films and doing some scouting. Getting back into the routine has not been difficult. "Right now, ii NIU, we're striving for the top. I'd like to think that we could finish in the upper part of the conference right away." And why not? With skilled performers like quarterbacks John Gibbons and Rick Bridges, tailback Allen Ross and slotback Mike Pinckney heading the list of seasoned returnees from last year's 5-5jI team, anything seems possible.

Add to that a schedule that sees NIU play four of its seven Mid-American Conference games at home it becomes easy to understand Mallory 's blindness to the pressures surrounding him. It also becomes easier to understand why he thinks the Huskies could finish high in the MAC standings in their first year under his guidance. Much less won't be tolerated. i' CHICAGO BEARS Tuesday's Results Texas Toronto 0 Minnesota 5, Cleveland 1 Detroit Chicago 4 Kansas City 7, Milwaukee 6 Boston 5, California 1 Oakland 3, New York 1 Seattle 2, Baltimore 1 Today's Games (All Times EDT) Texas (Medlch 10-8) at Toronto (Clancy 11-10), 1 p.m. Minnesota (Erickson 4-10) at Cleveland (Barker 15-8), 6:05 p.m.
