Bill Disastrous, Ritchey Claims By RICK FITCH Of the EmeraJd 1/ student fees were cut off from the athletic department, the effect would be "disastrous.' according to N'orv Eitchev. ad noinistrative assistant to the athletic director "Five years ago. we decided to join the coast conference and compete with teams like L'CLA. USC and Stanford Our presi dent issued a statement that said we would compete favor ably If this proposal t by .Sena tor Tom Fagan) were put into effect, and we didn’t get stu dent fees. I don't know where the money would come from " Ritchey estimated student fees currently make up about 20 per cent” of the total ath letic department budget He called this "grossly inadequate" compared to the other scnools in the conference. The selling of "season” tick ets to students at S15 apiece would not make up the differ ence if student fees were taken away, according to Ritchey ' You're talking about a quarter of a million dollars a >ear We couldn't sell that many tickets.” He said that if the proposal were enacted, it would bring about more of the professional ism” against which proponents of the bill are reacting "Critics would be able to say more than ever that our pro2ram smacks of professionalism," Ritchey said "We would then be totally sel f-supporti ng. ” It is wrong, according to Ritchey, to "put the athletic de partment out in the street," be cause the athletic department play- a vital educational role at the University. “We feel that athletics play a part in the overall educational program We contribute as much educa tionally as any department on campus. But now people say we should be self-supporting." Student fees currently go in to the athletic department's gen eral fund. According to Hitchey. student fees ha--e never been used in their capital building program < the construction of Autzen Stadium, etc > Other than student fe-s, the department is self-supporting. Hitchey said. In the state of Oregon. Oregon and Oregon State occupy unique positions in their athletic program from other state-supported college^ in that they receive no tax sup port other than student fees. We are regarded, hasicali;-. as being self-supporting Kitchey said the results of the Feb 7 vote on Fagan's proposal would be unacceptable to the athletic department and prob ably unacceptable to President Flemming and the State Board of Higher Education it is not our prerogative to decide one way or the other Funding corn's through the budget office. Ail the Senate can do is pa s a resolution based on the Outcom- of tne vote. This would only be advisory. The president is the final authority.” “Legally and historically, the state board has g larded these auxiliary fees with some jeal ousy. 1 think it would be a tragedy any time you would start dividing up student fees to individual factions. If you ask every student, every stu dent will have a different idea as to where his money should go.” ‘I think any election, to be valid, has to have a belter turn out than we’ve had before. You can’t have 25 percent of the peo pie vote and say that’s the way the entire student body feels ” JIM PHELPS IS FOR 1. A Consistent fiscal policy attempting to serve as many students as possible 2. More communication between stu dents and the Senate 3. An informed Senate JIM PHELPS FOR SENATOR Oregon Downs Utah, 85-77 By D. l„ SON M< IISES' CM Ik# EHteraM If you were toid that a basket ball team representing the Uni versity of Oregon had just de feated a similar team from the University of l'»ah an appropri ate answer might be "So what’’" Even if you were given ad dtoonai information Oregon entered the game with a 4 11 record compared to Utah's 13 5 mark — you could conceivably say Weil listen man. stranger things have nappened " But if you ohserved Oregon'* 85-77 victory over Utah in Me Arthur Court last night, your sole summation >{ the sideshow action would likelv be Hot damn. I can't believe this:" The on court struggle be tween Oregon and Utah was exciting enough but the antics of Redskin coach Jack Gardner bordered on the unbelievable In the first half the Ducks and Redskins traded the lead seven times between themselves, at though Oregon was in control for most of the 20 minutes Ken Smith had 14 points and John Pinkstaff 11 to account for more than half of UO's intermission total of 46. Interestingly coach Steve Bel ko's team required twice as much time to score 46 points Saturday in the loss to Oregon State. The Ducks halftime margin of 46 39 was attained chiefly be caused they converted 12 of 14 free throw attempts, while the visitors went to the line but eight times. Utah challenged Oregon in the second half, closing to 51 50 with I6'24 to go on a jumper hy guard Mere Jackson And at 9:54 Jackson snapped through another leaping cast off to bring the Redskins to 6460 But consecutive baskets by Smith, Rick Abrahamson. Billy Gaskins and PinksUff got Ore gon rolling again, and the Ducks maintained a safe margin until the ultimate 85-77 score at the game's conclusion Outstanding performances were turned in by every Oregon starter in this surprising victory. PinkstafT was a savage on the backboards, picking off 18 re bounds in addition to his 21 points. Abrahamson contributed 14 points, and Smith 18 to Ore gon's offensive outburst. However, Gaskins must be singled out for the most sig nifiranl contribution Billy shot in 22 point*, and hi* maneuver inK and passing to net up open teammate* was the major fac tor in the victory. Gaskin* would either hit on jump shot* from medium dp> tanee. feed Ahrahamson or Smith for Jumper*, or drive Utah insane with dribbling ex hibitions underneath the boards Particularly upset with Gas kin* ability to move in the heavy traffic under the boards was Kedskin coach Gardner lie accused referees Frank Buck iewie/. and John Thomas of not calling Gaskins for footing when he had the ball Garner was so incensed that he was slapped with three tech nical fouls in the first hallk and was resultingly banished from the game It took Oregon Ath letie Director I.en Casanova and two assistants to convince Gard ner he would do well to leave After the game Gardner blew his cool completely Apparent ly this official doesn't know basketball He i* obviously in competent He definitely ha-s rabbit ears.” claimed the Utah coach His references seeming ly were directed to Buckiewicl Additionally. Gardner said hr came close to forfeiting the game He (Buckiewicz) had a chip on his shoulder " Swimmers Plan Weekend Home The Dolphin Court, a German band, and water polo and tram poline exhibitions will high light Homecoming Weekend ' for the Oregon swim team after two weeks on the road A pair of tough home meets will be the center of activity, and entertainment will take plare between various events.
