Seat prices
up for second
year in a row
By Steve Spate

Students may find themselves
paying more to see Oregon play
football next year, following the
line of ticket price increases in
adult reserve and general ad
mission seats for the second
consecutive year
Representatives from the
Oregon athletic department and
the ASUO will meet next week to
decide on student prices for
admission to Autzen Stadium
for Oregon's 1982 six-game
home schedule
Student tickets sold for $2 50
last fall, and were available in a
season pass package or on a
game-by-game basts
The athletic department an
nounced last week that the
price of reserve seat tickets
would rise $1 00 over last year's
price, to $11 00 per game Adult
general admission seats will rise
50 cents to S5 50
In addition, a ticket to see the
Ducks host Notre Dame will cost
even more — $15 for a reserved
seat
The bottom line is that we try
to the balance the budget,’ says
Herb Yamanaka. associate ath
letic director "We have to
guarantee money for teams
coming in "
The fact that Oregon is com
ing off a disappointing 2-win.
The Oregon intramural bas
ketball championships are go
ing on this week
The men's division I cham
pionship, pitting the M Train
Express against Phi Kappa Psi.
will take place Wednesday, Feb
24 in Gerlinger Annex, room
B54 at 4 45 p m
The division II title game is set
for 3 45 pm in room B54 that
same day
Today, the women's final will
be played at 3 35 p m in the
center court in Esslinger
9-loss season "doesn't help"
the prospects for increased at
tendance, says Yamanaka Seat
prices were upped 50 cents last
season, but attendance was
down 16 percent
Ironically, the decision to
raise prices was finalized on
Feb 10, the same day prep star
Kevin Willhite signed his name
to a letter-of-intent to attend
Oregon Willhite, acclaimed as
the best high school running
back in the nation by Parade
magazine, is perhaps the most
sought-after gridder to opt for
Oregon
Mike Easterly, business man
ager for the athletic department,
declined to guess whether or
not the student ticket price will
rise "I couldn't begin to
speculate because it will be a
mutual decision between the
athletic department and the
ASUO,” said Easterly
But Alan Contreras, ASUO
vice president for program ad
ministration, is predicting a
price hike "It's just a guess
right now,” says Contreras
"Traditionally. Oregon prices
have been at least equal to that
of other schools But I have no
idea how much the (athletic
department) will ask for "
Next week's meeting will be
the first discussion on the
amount of subsidy the ASUO
will give to the athletic depart
ment in the 1982-83 fiscal year
For the 1981-82 fiscal year, the
ASUO contributed $544,000 in
student fees, coupled with a
projection for $220,000 in
student ticket revenues, for a
total $764,000
Contreras says there’s little
doubt that the student ticket
total is well below the $220,000
target “The question that's
never been raised is whether or
not the ASUO is obligated to
make up the shortfall," Con
treras says
The balance between student
fee money and ticket money is
what will determine the level of
ticket prices The athletic
department will probably push
for a higher student fee alloca
tion — in essence, guaranteed
money — and lower ticket prices
to increase attendance.
Faced with protecting pro
grams of its own, the ASUO will
likely have different ideas. “The
ASUO is committed to an in
crease of 50 cents in student
fees to uphold ASUO programs
in face of enrollment drops,”
Contreras says “Now we must
decide whether or not to uphold
the athletic department in the
same manner.”
