lin and Marshall offers 22 men’s
and women's varsity sports with
498 of the school’s 2000
students, or 24.9%, taking part.
This compares to the University,
where 389 students of 16,033
students, or 2.4% are currently
listed on the rosters of 16 varsity
sports.
"Like other institutions at this
level (Division III), we look at
intercollegiate athletics as part
of the educational enterprise,”
athletic director Dr. William
Marshall told Sports Illustrated
recently. "We re funded as a
department of college, whether
we win, lose or draw."

maintain a winning team rise, so

high academic ideals and actual
intercollegiate sport practices.
Big-time athletic departments
should acknowledge the pay

nize the hypocricy by putting
sports back in a perspective
with the rest of campus activi
ties.
