BUCKS FOR THE DUCKS
By JIM LUND
Of ttw Emerald
Money Everybody wants
more ot it, but they seem to have
some difficulty getting it
That problem has never been
more prominent than it is today
among the minds of administra
tors at the University of Oregon
Athletic Department Due to
problems like a sagging econ
omy, a $400,000-plus deficit,
and the after-effects of the
Oregon athletic scandal, the
athletic department is being
forced to bite the bullet
Rick Bay, who recently left his
job as associate executive di
rector of the University of Mi
chigan Alumni Association to
become the athletic director at
Oregon, knows where his prior
ities lie
"My number-one goal has to
be to balance the budget ” Bay
says. "That's what I'm all about
right now.”
One of the maior reasons he
was hired Bay believes, is his
experience as a fund raiser,
which includes successfully
directing a $2 6-million cam
paign for a new alumni center at
Michigan
"Certainly, as athletic admin
istrators are hired these days
across the country, almost all of
them have had some fund-rais
ing experience,' Bay says "It's
almost as important an in
gredient to the job as know
ledge of the sport itself,
because more and more athletic
departments are becoming
self-supporting "
Trend evident
That trend became evident at
Oregon last year when money
problems brought on a mandate
from then acting University
Pres Paul Olum to balance the
budget The results included
dropping four sports to meet
that demand This year, the ath
letic department is looking to
other sources for funds
"The area where we do have,
I think, good potential that has
not been developed is in the
fund-raising area,” Bay says
"When I was interviewing for
this |ob, after everyone finished
asking me questions, the one
question I had for them was, Is
the support out there? Is it just a
matter of untapped resources7'
The alumni and friends of the
University to whom I spoke all
felt that that was the case, and I
also believe that it is ”
According to Bay, the
projected income for the athle
tic department from donations
and gifts is somewhere over
$500,000 for the 1981-82 fiscal
year
"Our overall budget is in ex
cess of $5 million, so that
represents about 10," Bay says
"We have to do better than that
There's no question about it "
To help meet that need Bay
has hired Randy Balogh, the
former director of the Universi
ty's Annual Fund, to become the
new executive director of the
Duck Athletic Fund
"His primary mission here."
Bay says "will be to develop a
comprehensive fund-raising
plan which will attack matters
on three or four different fronts,
and then put that plan into ac
tion ”
According to Balogh, one im
portant step for the Athletic
Department will be to expand
their support from Oregon Club
booster groups throughout the
state
"I would say that one of the
basic things we re going to do is
continue to use the outreach
program of the Oregon Clubs,"
Balogh says "While we re in
those communities for the lun
cheons, we will also try to get
out and meet some of the other
folks in their places of business
and |ust talk about the good
things that are going on in
Oregon athletics ”
