sports___ Budget axe poises as review begins By TAMARA SWENSON Of th« Emerald With four sports teetering on the edge of a budget cut, the grueling process of deciding what Athletic Department cuts to recommend to the University adminis tration has begun. Monday, the Intercollegiate Athletic Committee reviewed the budget-cutting proposal submitted by the department’s senior staff. The proposal suggests the elimination offour sports—men’s and women's swimming and gymnastics — and details the department’s budget requirements. Topping the list is a $375,000 deficit. It is estimated that cutting the four sports will save nearly $200,000, but the deficit could balloon to $750,000 next year unless drastic action is taken, Ath letic Director John Caine said. “Reducing the budget by cutting sports is just one part of the problem," Caine said. "We received a mandate from (Acting University Pres. Paul) Olum... to balance the budget.” Caine outlined six criteria the depart ment will use to establish a future oper ating budget. • The budget must balanced by July 1, 1982. • The debt must be paid. • The women's programs must reach parity with the men. Currently, the women receive about $170,000 less in scholarships than the men, Caine said. • Oregon must maintain NCAA Divi sion I status, which requires eight sports. • Oregon must continue offering the sports the Pac-10 expects its member schools to have—football, basketball, baseball and track. • The department must work more aggressively to increase receipts. The coaches and administrators are opposed to dropping any sports, but the department’s senior staff opted for a sports cut as one way to cut the deficit. No one has stepped forward with any money, and the department probably can't expect any increase from other sources, Caine said. The department expects to recieve $100,000 less in out side contributions next year, he added. "It seems that the banker called your loan on short notice,” said committee member King Martin. "The banker called the loan last spring — that’s why we got the (student athletic) fee," said Deputy Athletic Director Julie Carson. But that $17 per-term per-student fee, which Caine said was budgeted for a $1.50 increase in next year’s budget, remains uncertain. ASUO Pres. Dave Eaton has indicated he will recommend no increase in the fee.
