Emerald Graphic Budget slashes nearing Hawk expects decision on cuts by end of week A final decision on next year’s athletic department is expected before the end of the week. ‘‘Our timetable places it so that we have to let the NCAA, Pac-10 and AIAW know our posture before May 1said Ray Hawk, vice president for admin istration and finance, Tuesday. “There will have to be a firm decision made by then.” The final decision, said Hawk, will establish the athletic department budget, announce which sports will be retained and clarify which organization the women’s program will be affiliated with — the AIAW or NCAA. Athletic director applications flood University More than 50 applications for athletic director have been received by the University ad ministration, and more are ex pected by the May 15th dead line, Ray Hawk, vice president for administration and finance, said Tuesday. “We hope to have all the applications processed and make a decision by July 1,” Hawk said. “But we may not see anyone (on campus) before Sept. 1." A committee of coaches, students and members of the faculty will be reviewing the ap plications and will make the first recommendation. ‘‘That’s an awful lot to do, but I’m confident we can finish it,” Hawk said. The athletic department, which has been asked to cut $1 million from the budget, has to either cut its budget or show that its revenue will increase. The $1 million includes the department's debt repayment to the University. “That’s the task. The three associate athletic directors, along with (University budget director) Ralph Sunderlund, are analyzing every part of the bud get,” Hawk said. "We’re trying to reach a conclusion by the end of the working day (today).” Scholarship cuts are being considered, said Hawk. "Cuts were recommended by the chancellor’s office in all sports I have little doubt that we’re looking at a grant-in-aid reduc tion for other sports.” Football and men's basketball scholarships will not be touched, Hawk said. “Those sports represent at least 80 per cent of the athletic department income. If you start tinkering with your income sources you're playing Russian roulette.” No move will be made to make out-of-state athletes eligible for in-state tuition, Hawk said. "Arizona has done this, and it has been an enourmous help to athletic departments. But what the athletic department gains by lowering tuition, the rest of the University will lose. ”As much as I’d like to save the athletic department money, to reduce tuition would reduce tuition income to the rest of the institution.” To balance the budget, the athletic department must look in different directions, Hawk said. "I doubt we ll be able to save all 20 sports.” Hawk refused to say which sports would be cut, but did indicate that only football, men's and women’s basketball, men's and women's track and women’s volleyball would be able to compete on a national level. “As I understand it, that gives us one sport for both men and women during each quarter — fall, winter, spring.” Four of the remaining 14 sports are slated for elimination and the other 10 will compete only on a regional level, Hawk said. "We cannot afford large travel budgets, nor can we af ford lots of scholarships. We are prepared to cut down to a min imal level.” Hawk’s minimal level could drop several University sports from NCAA Division I to Division II or III status, he said. Competition in each sport would be centered on a regional level, said Hawk, much like the Pac-10 northern division con cept currently used by men's baseball, tennis and swimming. "You my even find us strat ified into three levels — nation al, regional and state,” he said. "We have been through an intense evaluation of all the programs," Hawk said. "We don’t know if the final decision will make anyone happy, but it has to be made. And it has to be made soon.” By Tamara Swenson McKay’s Open Pantry Delicatessen I960 Franklin Blvd.—Eugene, Oregon—OPEN 9 am to 8 pm Dailv FEATURING Broasted Chicken - by the bucket or the piece • Party trays made to order • Fresh home-made pizza • Fresh bagels and pocket bread • San Francisco style sour dough bread • 31 varieties Imported and Domestic cheese • 35 varieties lunch meat and sausages • Full line salad bar • Hot food to go • Fresh sandwiches made daily Hot or cold, Imported or Domestic foods with old-fashioned service — S & H Green Stamps, Too!
