Athletics
continued from page 1
athletic department budgets swell
and expenditures increase.
The University Senate last spring
drafted a resolution on athletics that
aimed, in part, to slow the construc
tion of new athletic facilities on cam
puses in the Pac-10. A committee of
the Big Ten Conference passed a sim
ilar resolution in November.
“As Athletic Department pro
grams become more successful and
as their budget grows, the task
force’s job becomes even more im
portant,” Vice President for Admin
istration Dan Williams said. “Suc
cess is one of the general issues we
want to talk about. ”
Task force deliberations also
could debunk some misconcep
tions among faculty about where
Athletic Department funding comes
from, Williams said.
“It will give the faculty leadership
a better understanding of how the
Athletic Department is financed and
how it contributes to the University,”
he said.
Tublitz said it is essential for all
parts of the University to be familiar
with the school’s mission of educat
ing students “to the best of our abili
ty. ” He said he believes the task force
will facilitate a sharper understand
ing of the school’s mission.
“The Athletic Department is a part
of the University and is dedicated to
that mission based on the high in
tegrity and values of the Athletic De
partment,” he said.
The task force idea grew from a se
ries of meetings between University
officials last spring, Williams said.
The meetings were arranged to dis
cuss the allocation of general-fund
dollars to the Athletic Department. It
became clear that for the health of
University academics, it was neces
sary to wean the Athletic Depart
ment off the $2 million-a-year sub
sidy it received.
The task force is composed of stu
dents, faculty and administrators.
English professor Suzanne Clark and
associate law professor Margie Paris
are co-chairs for the task force.

ASUO
continued from page 1
viding is not.
You see different student groups
at different places on campus pro
moting events. You should have
different student groups working
together on one project and pro
moting that... coming together and
doing something for the good for
the University.
Q: How do you define diversity?
And how do you plan on bringing to
gether the diverse voices on campus?
A: Through better awareness. It’s
a shame that on campus there is ha
rassment, and through better aware
ness they would show more respect
for each other. That will come about
from working together more and not
staying separate.
Our idea of a truly integrated
network with a leader from every
group is feasible. There is a finite
number of groups, so there can be a
finite number of people and li
aisons from each of the groups that
we could coordinate.
Q: If two student groups were at
odds with each other, how would
you resolve the conflict?
A: I would take the groups that
were at odds with each other, and
we would have a discussion to find
out ... what issues are creating the
conflict. It would be wrong to work
with each group separately.
Q: If there was one thing you
could change about the University
instantly, what would it be?
A: In an ideal world, I would have
more money; more funding.
We would unite the University.
Q: How would you do things
differently than the current
ASUO Executive?
A: We would be very proactive on
campus. We’re not going to be in the
office a lot of times during the day.
We’re going to be spreading our
selves out on campus talking to peo
ple and getting to the issues, and
people’s opinions on things.
Therapy
continued from page 1
Individuals often come in be
cause of depression, anxiety, anger
or stress, Miller said.
He said couples commonly come
to the center because of “communi
cation problems. ”
But most couples are communi
cating very well, he said.
“It’s, ‘I know what you want and
you know what I want — I just
don’t like what you want,”’ he said.
Sometimes therapy teaches a
couple how to “disengage in the
least destructive way,” he said.
Walwyn added that couples of
ten don’t know what they want, re
gardless of age or past relationship
experience.
Pre-doctorate intern Christie Ep
pler said she sees her role as a ther
apist not as fixing all of a couple’s
problems but as facilitating change
in a relationship.
“I give (couples) new informa
tion to help them see their prob
lems differently,” she said. “I also
see my role as respecting my
clients. This is a place they can go
and not be judged. It gives them the
courage to make changes in their
life and their relationship.”
Dorst, however, didn’t think ther
apy would have been in the best in
terest of her relationship.
“I think if a couple needs to seek
therapy before their marriage, then
it’s a sign that they should break
up,” she said. ‘‘Therapy is the kind
of thing you only consider if you’ve
had a major trauma or you’ve been
in a marriage for years.”
Miller, Walwyn and Eppler agree
there is a stigma around therapy,
and people tend to use it as a last
resort.
“If we could get people to come
in when they first notice a problem,
we could change that dynamic. You
approach a doctor when you first
notice a fever. But people don’t
seek out therapy until they have
massive fractures and internal hem
orrhaging,” Miller said. “For that
reason, we encourage people to
come in for a ‘check-up,’ even if
you’re not sure there’s a problem.”
