To the Editor:
e feel that r. Dean Da enport,
thleti director of Ferri St te Colle
. repre nting hoever i making alleged
clwJe in the suspen ' n of tr coach
GeO e cGinnis. But ho
repre t tion to George cGinnis
member of the v ity co ching aff t
FSC?
concerned athlete of the F-erris
State CoU e Var·ty Tr Team,
ould e to provide some
picture of Co
yet to receiv
main' e
t a em ate
the thletic director refusi to
re the' complaint and Co ell
cGinni ' refu to recognize the unsi -
ed complaint i ed from the thleti
director.
Our feeling i that the athleti director
di not even consider the ort and 10
term effect that this spension ould

have on the current
n of the FSC trae
ordeal h s been a mental and phy . cal
ain on the team. Thi enhanced
by not having coach or any direction
for four day. During this time three
tr ck meets ere pending, including th
G.L.I .C. Conference eet, the rno
important meet of the indoor leuon.
Another exampl of thi lack of fore-
. t on the part of the Athletic Director
w at a team meeting held on Feb.
28th, 1983. r. Dean Davenport stated
th t Coach cGinnis as innocent until
proven guilty. So here' th rationale
behin his su n' n hich came on
February 25, 19831 I thi the same
criteria to be u d with every coach at
FSC pre-- nt and future? - -
The abov que tions and of course
the mo important one of all, where do
the' "so" called allegations originate
from? Why haven't they been ' ed
and brought forth? e feel it is nece
sary t our que io be ered
immediately or the spension and
all tions lin Coach George
Ginnis be dropped. e feel that the fu-
n tio have no b ance, are
surd and e from experience.
e realize that C ch cGinni'
ell-orpnized ry disciplined in-
dividual, and in coa . a tr team
t. T . built on deter-
DUllLaUC' m, di ipline and hard ork
re ts in cce
If Coach George cGinnis can so
e y be spended beca of aIlegatio!ls
that ha e not even been official brought
forth in an hone manner, ho can
team mor and oyalty to coach
endure. e re nt h the allegations
from a mi ided fe h ve dam ed
thi man's reputation.
