Athletic department seeks increased funding
By Julie Shippen
Of the Emerald
Officials from the Univer
sity’s athletic department met
with the Incidental Fee Com
mittee on Monday evening to
begin the annual string of
budget hearings on the depart
ment’s sizable and often con
troversial request for next year.
While the meeting promptly
concluded at the scheduled
two-hour mark, the groups ap
peared to have settled little
about the department and its
proposed increases. In fact, the
budget’s fate became even fur
ther confused after discussion
on an upcoming ASUO ballot
measure and its effect on the
budget’s outcome if passed in
this week’s general elections.
This year the department is
seeking approximately
$847,124 in incidental fees,
which represents a 17 percent
increase over last year’s alloca
tion. While the figure may be
considerable, the money is
necessary to keep the Univer
sity’s athletic programs
“competitive” in the Pacific 10
Conference, said Chris Voelz,
assistant athletic director.
“It wasn’t just a figure that
we came up with,” Voelz said.
The department needs the funds
to recruit talented athletes and
coaches to the University. "It’s
a function of the market,” she
added.
Of the total requested
amount, $727,124 in direct
funds are sought to fund 50 per
cent of the department’s budget
for non-revenue sports, such as
men’s golf or women’s
volleyball, and the remaining
$120,000 is designated for
ticket subsidy.
“The figures attached in the
budget breakdown are actual
operational figures — certainly
not a wish list,” Voelz said in a
memo to the committee. "They
concurrently reflect the
amount... we feel is a fair and
appropriate request to be made
of the student body at the
University of Oregon.”
The request’s increases reflect
cost of living hikes, equity ad
vancements, the women’s ad
ministrative budget and opera

tional changes mandated by

Also noted is the inclusion of
track and field into the “non
revenue" category. Voelz
pointed out to the committee
that while track and field may
be popular at the University, the
department still loses $400,000
each year on the events.
John Dreeszen, ASUO finance
coordinator, raised the issue of
the department’s yearly
"phenomenal” increases.
Voelz believes, however, that
after this year the department’s
budget should balance out and
will require only a 6 percent or
7 percent increase each year to
keep up with regular inflation.
The committee decided to
continue the hearing today and
possibly Wednesday, despite
confusion as to whether or not
the committee can approve an
increase of more than 7 percent
if Ballot Measure 5 passes
Thursday.
IFC member Adam
Apalategui, initiator of the
measure to limit the athletic
department's budget increases
to 7 percent each year, said the
measure would take effect im
mediately upon voter approval.
Members were still uncertain,
however, if the limitation
would apply to an allocation
made before the election.
