Newspaper Page Textsports Women’s golf down the hole Program’s first season is its oniy season By TODD FLETCHER omit d—hm Four Oregon sports were cut from the budget five months ago, leaving coaches, players and fans sur prised and disappointed The Emerald Sports department has put together a five-part senes entitled "Feeling the Cuts." examin ing each of the sports eliminated Part Two features the women's golf squad When the University athletic department faced the prospect of cutting four varsity sports last spring, the women's golf team didn't stand a chance Oregon's women linksters were forced to look for something else to do in the afternoon after their first-year program was axed May 7. Chris Voelz assistant director of women s inter collegiate athletics, says the maintenance of each sport is dependant on money resources as well the popularity and tradition of the sport on campus "The commitment here to these sports is all functional to finances " Voelz says "If we had beaucoup bucks we d have the most complete program as anywhere." If the lack of money was the only reason for dropping golf, the athletic department would have been better off dropping the women s swimming team which outspent golf last year more than 2 to 1 Voelz says the total picture must be taken into account when evaluating the worth of a sport Graphic b> Max Deftung* "It's (cutting a program) also determined by how many high schools in the state have these programs " she says Also how many Pac-10 schools have these sports Six or seven have golf yet none have soccer and all 10 have swimmina " Voelz says decisions cut certain sports can hinge on the length of time a program has been on campus ' Do we cut some teams that have just been brought into the program, or something that's been here tor 50 years7 she asks Janet Hemonen. women s sports information director, remarks that interest in women's golf was low When the hearings for cuts were held no one showed up to support golf she says As to the question whether or not women's golf will ever come back Hetnonen said. Right now I don't think anything will be brought back The cuts leave former team members to either relinquish their intercollegiate golf aspirations, or leave the university The coach, Jenny Feeney, who was doing graduate work at Oregon last year returned to New Zealand with her husband According to Maureen McFaddin, a member of last year s squad Sue Schadel, the team's number-one golfer last year transferred to Oregon State University and is playing golf there Marti Loeb is now working at the Black Butte Country Club and is attending classes at Central Oregon Community College in Bend McFaddin Mary Huson and Pat Murphy rounded out the team and all three are still enrolled at the university McFaddin says not playing golf has reshaped her college life somewhat Basically I'm not as earnest about golfing as I was If it is raining I will stay in and study Not golfing also allows me to take a full load at school McFaddin remarks "I don t think the school wants it (the women's golf program) back We were willing to raise funds so we could play but the school said it would put too much pressure on the students and there would be no guarantee that the students would come back to school "Golf was a new sport and it was never given a chance to grow Unless there is a change in administrative policy or there becomes funds available to fund it golf won t come back Ferguson passes lift Bills 31-21 ORCHARD PARK.
