$90,000 Spent Yearly
For UO 'Duck Huntina'
by Len Calvert
Emerald Editorial Atlitlant
Some $SW).000 a year la being
«pent by the University of Oregon
bo that qualified, Intelligent ath
letes can participate in eight ma
jor sports while attending the Uni
versity.
The money for this program
comes from gate receipts and
from the University's grant-in-aid
fund, contributed by Oregon alum
ni and friends.
An intensive three-year cam
paign is currently being carried on
by the athletic department to in
crease the grant-in-aid money
available to help deserving ath
letes attend school. Now in its sec
ond year, the program has been
broadened from 56 to the 106 men
now receiving help.
Money from the grant-in-aid
fund makes up $55,000 of the
yearly cost. The other $35,000
comes from athletic gate receipts.
Under Pacific Coast Conference
rules, the University may help an
athlete through school by paying
his tuition and by providing him
With part-time work. However, the
athlete’s salary for this work must
not exceed $75 per month.
Money Budgeted
Under this ruling, the Univer
sity uses more than 80 percent of
the grant-in-aid fund to pay tui
tion costs. The remaining 20 per
cent supplements the funds bud
geted by the athletic department
for campus jobs.
Now almost two decades old,
the grant-in-aid program began
under a different name the Com
monwealth scholarships. Under
these scholarships, athletes were
granted money with which to pay
tuition, room and board and buy
books. About 1941, the confer
ence ruled that the scholarships
were outside amateur rules. It was
then that the present grant-in-aid
program appeared, according to
Bill Bowcrman, assistant director
of athletics.
Benefits Received
The present plan of expanding
the grant-in-aid program was
drawn up with the consent of the
alumni and the University ad
ministration. Under its provisions,
1U» donors to the fund get three
benefits, Bowerman said.
In return for their donations,
ticket preference is given donors
and they arc allowed to deduct
the donation from their income
j tax- The third benefit is the satis
faction of seeing a deserving man
I in school, said Bowerman.
However, athletic ability is not
the only thing necessary to win a
grant-in-aid. Freshman athletes
! must also be in the upper half of
! thelr high school graduating class
and show potential as student
leaders, he said.
Program Pays Off
The program is paying-off in
! the quality of athletes attending
Oregon, Bowerman said. The ath
letes are maintaining a B minus
average in their scholastic work.
He also pointed to a new freshman
scholarship established last year
with athletic ability as one of the
stipulations.
To win this scholarship, the
Richard S. Smith award, the stu
dent must be in the upper 20 per
cent of his graduating class, a
student leader and a good citizen.
Twelve entering freshman ath
letes qualified for the scholarship,
Bowerman said.
Competition Promoted
However, the alumni are not
promising winning teams in re
turn for their money, Bowerman
pointed out. It is the goal of the
University to promote good com
petitive teams. Oregon wants ath
letes capable of doing the work
the University can give them, he
emphasized.
To aid iu the selection process,
the athletic department uses a
system of some 15 "Duck Hunters”
situated throughout Oregon. These
men are friends and alumni of the
University who watch for out
standing athletes in their area who
appear to be likely prospects for
University teams.
At the close of 195G, the end of
the present program, an evaluation
of the effects and achievements of
the grant-in-aid and “Duck Hunt
er" plans will be made, Bowerman
said. At that time it will be de
cided if the results the University
is ‘getting now are the best pos
sible, or if a change should be
made, he said.
