Hoard of Higher (education's
decision to grant tuition
waivers for Oregon college
athletes has been enthusiastic.

txKXjme inslant winner* because
of it.
"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

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

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.

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. More information
can be obtained at 686-4191.

manner.
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. Hut this film is well
worth the sit.
