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.”

The toughest job
you’ll ever love
We admit it. It takes a different kind ot person to be a Peace Corps Volunteer
We won t mislead vou with glowing pictures ot exotit lands. The hours as a volun
feer are long. The pay is modest. And the frustrations sometimes seem overwhelming.
Hut the satisfactions and rewards are immense. You II be immersed in a new culture,
become fluent in a new language and learn tar more about yourself than you ever
expected.
\ ou II also discover that progress in the Peace Corps is measured in small accom
plishments Sut h as rural health clinics established in Kenya. Irrigation systems built in
Upper \ olta. Fresh-water fish ponds started in the Philippines
The progress may seem modest, but to people in developing nations who have
never before had clean drinking water, basic
health care, or enough to eat the Peace Corps
brings a message ot hope and change
We invite you to look into the volunteer
opportunities beginning this year in o5
developing nations. See our representatives
