Selection process
begins for new AD.
University Vice Pres. Ray
Hawk is expected to announce
today the members of the com
mittee that will oversee selec
tion of a new athletic director.
The committee then will
spend the next three to four
months choosing a successor
to Athletic Director John Caine,
who resigned March 23, said
Hawk, University vice president
for administration and finance.
“We hope to have someone in
the drivers seat by Sept. 1,”
Hawk said Monday.
Caine, who has been athletic
director at the University for the
past five years, said his resig
nation was prompted by the
athletic department’s current
financial crisis. The AD’s
1980-81 deficit is currently es
timated to be $600,000.
“Essentially, the University
decided they would like to have
someone else guide this pro
gram,’’ said Caine after an
nouncing his resignation. “They
are sensitive to the fact that we
have a budget deficit, and most
things do revolve around mon
ey.”
Caine’s resignation will
become effective Wednesday,
exactly five years after he as
sumed the position.
Deputy Athletic Director Julie
Carson also announced her re
signation, which will be effective
today, during spring break. She
will assume a faculty position in
the English department Wed
nesday.
“The University administra
tion is considering possible
realignments of responsibliltes
in the athletic administration,"
Carson said March 18. “We’ve
all thought of the deputy direc
tor position as an experiment,
and I want to allow the Universi
ty a free hand in considering a
new administrative structure.”
Carson was second in com
mand to Caine and responsible
for women's athletics.
The committee to select a
successor to Caine will be com
posed of about 12 people, said
Hawk, who added he had filled
10 spots by Monday evening.
During the interim, a three
member management team will
share the duties of the athletic
director.
The three associate athletic
directors — James Ferguson,
Chris Voelz and Herb Yamana
ka — will assume their new du
ties Wednesday.
Ferguson will be responsible
for the men’s athletic programs
and for support services,
including sports medicine and
equipment.
Voelz will be responsible for
the women's program, sports
information and academic
counseling.
Yamanaka will be responsible
for facilites, promotion and
events management,
Administration reviews
ailing athletic department
After reviewing the recom
mendation from the Intercol
legiate Athletic Committee, the
University administration has
decided to do some probing on
its own.
The IAC presented Acting
Pres. Paul Olum with its recom
mendation March 18. Five com
mittee members opposed
eliminating any sports to help
solve the athletic department's
budget deficit. The other four
members suggested cutting
either the men’s and women’s
gymnastics teams or both gym
nastics and men’s and women’s
swimming.
However, according to
University Vice Pres. Ray Hawk,
there was “not enough solid
fiscal information to make a
decision.”
“Within a week we hope to
have a better grasp of the situa
tion,” Hawk said, adding his
hope that the administration
can make its final decision
before the national letter of in
tent deadline of April 8.
The five IAC members oppos
ing program cuts said in a joint
statement that the University
should “set aside for the pre
sent the athletic department
proposal to eliminate gymnas
tics and swimming.
"The University should
eliminate sports only as a last
resort, and the case has not yet
been made either that such
drastic action is necessary or
that men’s and women's gym
nastics and swimming are the
most appropriate choices for
elimination.”
