"No one can say we expect two nrnre wins in football next year because of the money. It doesn't convert that quickly." said Associate Athletic Director Chris Voelz, "It puts us in a bet ter posture to establish a future instead of always paying for the past." shn said. When the State Hoard approv ed a total of $1 million in student-athlete tuition waivers student for Oregon universities and colleges July 24. it marked the first time the state has pro vided monetary aid to college athletics. Oregon had been the only state on the West Coast that did not provide any form of financial assistance to its col legiate sports programs. The University's slice of the pie could be as high as $350,000 Oregon State could also get that amount, and the state's five other schools will get a much smaller share The assistance applies only to . Sandy Walton out-of-state tuition, and the Athletic Department was waiting for an interpretation of the ruling on Wednesday. Financial Director Sandy Walton said that it is still unclear whether the waiver ap plies to the difference between out-of-state and resident rales or to a complete waiver of tuition for out-of-state athletes. "We can’t do much to plan for next fiscal year until we get clarification on that," Walton said. "If it turns out we can only waive the difference in tuition it will la* a lot less" than the $350,000 maximum, she added. Previously, all tuition fees had been paid by the Athletic Department out of its own revenue and student incidental fees. The actual amount of the aid is less important than the message the State Hoard is sen ding to its universities and the Pacific to Conference, accor ding to several people contacted. "The most significant is the pychological boost of knowing we have been embraced by the State Hoard of Higher Educa tion.” said Voelz. Assistant track Coach john Cillespie agreed, saying "It’s always nice to Ik* appreciated." "It sends a message to our Pac-10 opposition that we are going to do what is necessary to compete better and recruit bet ter," said volleyball Coach (Jerry Gregory. Although the primary intent of the State Hoard was to reduce reliance on football and men's basketball to cover the expenses of non-revenue producing sports, the results should lx? shared by the entire Athletic Department J |ohn (>illespic The football and men's basketball programs are the on ly self-supporting elements of the Athletic Department, which had an accumulated debt of around $500,000 at the end of the 1985-86 fiscal year. While figures for last year are not yet available, it was a “typical" year according to Walton, and the debt should have increased somewhat. “You are going to see the minor sports able to hold their own, and football can show a positive cash flow down the road,” said Hill Masked, assis tant football coach. That in turn will help recruiting, according to Maskill. “If you can get tin? hooks ha I a need sooner than an ticipated. you can expand facilities and other niceties, and attract a better type in dividual." he said. This newfound commitment on the part of the state does not signal the overemphasis on col lege sports at the University, Voelz said. Journey Continued from Page 5 a challenge because it is not quite what I expected. I've always been a really shy kind of person and being on stage is really kind of scary for me." ‘‘I feel that the entire cast is just wonderful." she added, "and this play has given me a chance to get closer to Scott. He's a fabulous actor and it's easy to play opposite to him.” Carl Savering, a sophomore theatre arts major, plays both the roles of Per's father and a mayor in the production. Mis ability to utilize and change his voice to suit the needs of the two different rules is a i»erfor mance worth watching in itself. "I did have problems chang ing my voice for the different roles," he said, "It took some voice training and lots of prac tice in the greenroom before each scene t>ccausc you don't know what your voice sounds like as it’s so different from what other people hear." Severing also felt the voice changes were necessary because it is quite difficult for the au dience to distinguish characters from one another without the distinctions. "l.ucky Per's Journey” will be staged on Friday and Satur day, and again next weekend. All dates feature the children's version of the play, beginning at 11 a m., while the full-length shows begin at H p in. Tic kets are available at the Robinson Theatre box office in V it lard Hall. Prices are $2.50 for adults and $1.50 for children under 12 for the daytime shows; and $3.50 for adults and $2.50 for children under 12 for the even ing shows.

C.ray is a careful observer of human actions and reactions. He talks of his conversations with “Killing Fields” director Roland Ioffe, who "burns" Gray with his intensity during their early talks about the film. His description of an Amtrak lounge as a "rolling confes sional" and his conversation with a Navy man are nothing short of classic. Gray also touches on his rela tionships with his girlfriend, members of the cast and crew, and elaborates on his adven lures with Ivan, a South African. Gray calls Ivan "the devil in my ear.” This proves to lie very true. Gray a and Ivan gel stoned on "Thai sticks" and brave the riptides of the coastal water of Thailand. People who have trouble sit ting through hour-and a half lectures might find difficulty in listening to one man talk for that long.
