Owens 345-6552 GGQ AMERICAN CAMPUS SALES ASSOCIATES payment plan available Committee seeks formula to integrate athletics By TERRY SOTTA Of the Emerald The Intercollegiate Athletics Committee met last Wednesday to formulate basic tenets for their forthcoming advisory report on women’s athletics. To expand women’s competition to a status similar to men’s is their goal, but through what structure poses their task. The committee consensus supports a structure to enable University women to compete at the national level, but chairer Robert Bowlin, dean of student personnel services, foresees “the necessity of recruitment and the additional financial support” as the major burdens found in any such plan. Bill Landers, director of public relations for the athletic department, cited a possible source of revenue for the expanded program. Senate Bill SB64, under consideration, would channel funds back to the state for distribution among members of the State System of Higher Education “Twenty five per cent will go to athletic scholarships,” said Landers. Under the current program, those would go to men. With the women’s program integrated in the Athletic Department, they would also be entitled to receive the funds. Landers also suggested the committee in vestigate substitution of state support for coaches, rather than incidental fees as a measure for freeing more funds for a wider program. Edna Wooten, physical education profes. warned the committee against suggesting a mean of support for women’s athletics that would ‘Y .e money from the men’s program because they are having a difficult time enough already.” She in cluded portions of the current budget and gate receipts in this category. Wendell Basye, professor of law, proposed that the committee adopt the stance that women’s support be drawn “not at the expense of the men’s budget, but cut from other sources” in its recom mendation draft. Special “gate” revenues was suggested as a such a source. A discussion of a “medical pool” resulting in decreased insurance rates and other means of defraying expenses employed by the men’s athletic department, led to a proposal of liaisonbetween men and women’s facilities. The committee will recommend that “closer relationships with the athletic department by consolidation of medical policy, publicity, and use of facilities” be adopted Fears that “women will be absorbed into the men’s program and will have no voice in ad ministration,” as voiced by Wooten, left the com mittee undecided as to the degree of integration that should be pursued. A five-member subcommittee was named to draft the committee’s statement of recommendation m two weeks. Members are Gerald Albaum, Ray Whitlow, Carolyn Newland, Landers, and Bowlin. The committee’s final recommendation will leave the door open but will not make competition compulsory at the national level in an effort to circumvent undue financial and administrative difficulties associated with so expanded a program. “The alternative,” as one member stated, “is to commit yourself to excellence in women’s athletics.” Awards given at breakfast Relating the development of the University since 1872, President Robert Clark told an audience of 150 at the Parents’ Weekend Breakfast that the University rates high in its educational offerings. Clark said between 10 to 12 University departments rank among the top 10 to 25 departments in their respective fields on a nationwide scale. SFO to vote May 10 on new constitution The Foreign Student Organization (FSO) has announced that the organization will hold its General Election at a meeting May 10. But that might not be the most important item at the meeting. The FSO Executive Board has also scheduled a ratification vote on the proposed new FSO constitution. It will be the second time the proposed constitution has been voted on by FSO members. A vote on the constitution during Spring Term registration was invalidated by the board because of a number of election irregularities, according to FSO Executive Secretary Arshad Pirani. Pirani said the constitution also failed to receive the required two-thirds majority in that vote. Constitution ratification is scheduled as the initial item on the meeting’s agenda. The election of new FSO officers (president, vice president and executive secretary) is scheduled to begin shortly afterwards. Priani said persons interested in the positions should contact her at the FSO office, 203 EMU. Nominations will be open until election day. Information on the foreign student scholarship will also be given at the meeting, scheduled for 7 p.m. in 150 Science. NEW LOCATION Parts for all imported cars from Alfa to Volkswagen new management!
