NIKE TO LAY OFF 300 THIS WEEK, THOUGH TOP EXECS SEEM SAFE

          Nike will "shed 300 temporary workers this week, the
     first step in a larger layoff that could be announced March
     18," according to Jeff Manning of the Portland OREGONIAN. 
     But Manning reported, "Widespread talk that multiple senior
     executives were on their way out has not proven accurate." 
     Claire Hamill, who was VP/Global Footwear, has been
     reassigned to assist Nike President Tom Clarke with the
     company's restructuring.  Nike VP/Corporate Brand Management
     Mark Parker assumed Hamill's footwear responsibilities. 
     Nike Dir of Communications Lee Weinstein said that Andy
     Mooney, VP/Equipment Division, has assumed responsibility
     for some "key aspects of the apparel operation," including
     soccer, golf and the Michael Jordan brand (OREGONIAN, 3/12).
