Hayward Field suffers bureaucratic problems
By Craig Harris
Emerald Reporter
Hayward Field’s renovation
plans have hit a bureaucratic
snag, and it’s causing the
Athletic Department a few
minor headaches.

warm-up track — which would
be located on the northwest cor
ner of t8th Avenue and Agate
Street — before the winter rains
set in so heavy construction

Club sports suffer money woes

For many students. the end of high school
signals the end of an athletic career. But one
way to keep the high fives and good vibrations
going is through the Club Sports program the
University operates.
More than BOO athletes participated in 19
sports last year, with about the same number
expected for the upcoming year. Athletes can
participate in anything from soccer and rugby
to ping pong and water polo.
While some sports offer tryouts, others
take anyone who will show up.
Some sports don't compete until spring,
but all of the teams organize themselves dur
ing the first weeks of school. Club Sports
Director Sandy Vaughn said.
A recent development that may keep
roster sizes down is the burden of financially
supporting the sports shifting from the teams
to the individual athletes.
A change in sentiment at the Athletic
Department has sent Vaughn and several club
teams scrambling to figure out ways of suppor
ting themselves.
The main issue concerns exactly who
cleans up after ma|or sporting events. In the
past, the Athletic Department let the Club
Sports office handle the cleanups, deciding
which teams cleaned up which event.
But now the cleanups have been opened
up to any organized group.
The money the teams accumulated last
year for cleaning the Duck facilities amounted
to more than one-third of the Club Sports
operating budget.
Assistant Athletic Director Chris Voelx.
who handles cleanup contracting, said the
Athletic Department is merely protecting
itself
“We do not want to jeopardize the Club
Sports program in any way," Voelz said. "As

formed well in the past, we will continue to

This part of the project is
labeled phase four, but it can’t
begin until phase two or three
begins.
Phase two is a major renova
tion of the east grandstand,
which includes adding a
sprinkler system and lights to
meet current building codes
Phase three consists of building
a weight room and storage
building south of the east
grandstand. Phase one was
moving the east grandstand,
which was completed late last
spring
Phase two may not (mgin un
til December bociuse the
Athletic Department did not
plan for this stage to occur until
iater. and currently it is in the
planning process of getting
under a contract.
"We intended to do the
warm-up track before the
weather got t>ad. but there is
language in the legislative bill
that says we have to do phase
two and three first." Steve
McBride, director of computer
services, said
"It goes against rationality.
