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.
