UO women long on talent, short on cash By TOME NATHAN For the Emerald The University of Oregon women always look good, but they’re looking better than ever as they swing into the 1972 sports season. The only problem is money. The swim team, under Coach Virginia Arvidson, has been regional champion three out of the last four years. After warming up during the Oregon Senior AAU Championships at Leighton pool last weekend, they’re ready for their first meet of the in tercollegiate season against Oregon State University Friday The team will compete in 14 events including diving This is the first year of intercollegiate com petition for 18-year old Cindy Marks, an outstanding young diver, who had a sensational record as a state and national contender from South Eugene High School. Don McGavem, UO diving coach, says both Cindy and Betsy Beckett, also from South Eugene, should easily qualify for the national women’s in tercollegiate meet to be held in Cinncinnati later this year. But neither girl may go because of lack of university funds for women in competitive sports. The UO women’s volleyball team has a similar problem. It also qualified for the national play-offs but is unable to go for lack of funds. The volleyball team took the Northwest Regional championship during a two day tournament in Eugene in competition with 28 teams from four states last month. TTiis is its second year as champion. The women canvassed for funds and raised enough money to go to Lawrence, Kansas last year where they placed fourth in the nationals. But this year, says coach Karl Rice, they haven’t the heart for more “bottle drives” and door-to-door solicitation. Newsmen say there is no spectator interest in women’s sports—hence, no money. This Friday evening, the public will have a chance to see the women in action. The swim team, with Cindy Marks competing in the diving event, will be at Leighton Pool. The Women’s gymnastic team will be in B-54, Gerlinger Annex, competing against Oregon State University. Both events start at 7 p.m. The public is welcome and there is no charge for admission.
