this week, and Georgia roach
Suzanne Yoculan doesn't like it

seeded No. 1 and for the First time
there is absolutely no advantage
to being seeded No 1. siie said
ns she prepared her powerful
Gymdogs for the start of com|>e
tit ion Thursday at Oregon State
The meet has been expanded
from two to three days In the
past, the team title was de< ided
the first day. with the lower aeed
ed six teams competing in the
afternoon and the top six teams
going at night
Hut la-cause of complaints that
the scoring for the lower seeded
teams was unfairly low. elimi
nating any chance for them to
win tfie title, there will be a pre
liminary qualifying round this
year.
The add-numbered seeds, led
bv No I Georgiu. will compete
Thursday afternoon The even
numbered seeds will perform
Thursday night The top three
teams from eat h session qualify
for Friday night's team finals The

lie determined Saturday nighi
"1 understand all the reasons
and I think that all of the teams
should have the same opportu
nity to qualify to have a chaine
to win the title." Yoculan said
"But at the same time. 1 think if
you've done the Job all year then
should fie some regard for that "
She snid her team will leave
Corvallis and stay in Eugene,
some 40 miles away, after the
afternoon session
"We're not waiting around to
find out- We re there to compete
for the national title Friday

depth that the throe of us have."
Yen ulnn said Most of the kids
who have !>eon on the t ISA team
look to one of those three
schools."

EQUITY
Continued from Page 9
However, two former
women's basketball players,
Cathy and Nancy Aiken, sued
the University in 1977 claim
ing the athletic department
gave men's sports better equip
ment. coat hi rig. training faril
dies and transportation than
women’s sports
After two years of legal
wrangling, the Oregon Court
of Appeals ordered the Uni
versity to improve support of
women's sports
The Aikens' suit forced the
t 'niversitv to increase support
of women's teams, said |anet
Wentworth. University affir
mative action ombudsman.
"Over a period of several
years, the University improved
its support of women athletes,
and the last review showed the
athletic deportment had met
its goals under the Aiken Case
agreement." Wentworth said
The athletic, department
now voluntarilv monitors its
programs to ensure they com
ply with the low. Wentworth
said.
Maintaining support for
men's and women's NCAA
‘In those days
women were
supposed to be
spectators, not
participants
—- Len Casanova,
former University athletic
director
I)i\ ision I programs lias forced
the athletic deportment into
a Si 8 million ciefic it. Walton
said.
Meanwhile, in an effort to
provide women the same
amount of athletic scholar
ships as men. the University
Senate has recommended the
University create another
nat ional I y com pot it i ve
women's team within five
years.
"Title IX improved athletics
for everybody at the Universi
ty of Oregon," Casanova said.
"Now we run enjoy watching
our great women athletes com
pete in our conference and
nationally. Now we just need
to find n way to pay for it."
