This spring I fm t )regon Stale
Hoard of Highfii i dm atmn do
c ided to raise the enrollment
taps at Oregon universities to
help give relief to the ailing
athletii departments a solo
lion that is temporary at best.
It is time for the l.egislature
to take action In other words
move it or lose it

response to a demand b\ the
OSHIII hut only with some

I ie is right It the !!)‘IU fool

kind of year that can attract a
lot of fans, the Mhletii I fepart

II the legislature decides it is
not going to help Oregon Ath

he missing the boat
Strong athletic programs
mean big business and big
moni'v lor the region A good
tooth,ill team will bring fans to
the KugeneSpmigtield area
from irmind the state not to
mention Ians ol the opposing
teams Hotels (ill up. restau
rants are parked, and the lot al
economy gels a boost We will
see it this year it the 1 )uc ks live
up to their potential
I,et s fac e it We do need
more money tor educ ation but
as Hyrne has said, people do
not rally around a i hemistn
i lass the way they ralh around
a football team And when they
rally around a football team
they spend money
The athletic departments at
Washington, and the (lalifornia
and Arizona si bools are sue
reeding. They get financ ial aid
from the state, whic h frees the
money made by the football
and men's basketball teams to
make better fatalities, buy bet
ter equipment, and ret rnit bet
ter players Those better pla\
ers fill the stands, and the
whole community benefits
With the timber industrx
dwindling in the area. Kugene
Springfield does need a new
source of income If the tooth,dl
team can bring in $1 million
worth of revenue to the area in
one weekend, why not tr\ to
help support it ’
