r.g S.THE CAZETTE-TIMES. Heppner. OR. Thursday. Ma, 13. 1CT 0 bid or Cortoi Following an intensive re view of the athletic program and Its subsequent financial status at Eastern Oregon State College, two minor sports programs will be cur tailed next year. Golf and wrestling will not receive any institutional sup port from Incidental fee mo ney. The decision comes after a campus-wide opinion sur vey, deliberation by the Inci dental fee committee, recom mendations by the Athletic Committee and consideration by EOSC President Rodney Briggs. In a statement on the f moves, President Briggs said, "On the basis that it is Impossible to provide ade quate financial support to maintain our current pro grams, it is determined that ( l ) Wrestling be dropped as an Intercollegiate activity; (2) Golf be dropped as an inter collegiate activity but . . . be encouraged as a club sport and should be included in the Intramural program; (3) No new sports activities will be Initiated at the Intercollegiate level unless external funding can be found to provide the operating funds." President Briggs noted in his statement that the present "athletic program at EOSC is In jeopardy because of in creasing costs, reduced fund ing, and a strong campus-wide support base for expanded programs in intramurals, club sports, and outdoor program activities." Expenditures in 1975-76 for the men's and women's athle tic program at EOSC appro ximated $(10,000 from the Incidental fees which included a deficit of approximately $10,000 alxve budgeted funds. ,76 77 funds totaled about '$48,400, a reduction of $11,700. The net result, including increased funding for women's programs, for the men's Intercollegiate pro grams for 1976-77 is $13,000. In the decision, President Briggs noted that every effort should be made to maintain the college's membership in the Evergreen Conference.

However, the President cau tioned the EOSC Athletic De partment, its coaches and players that they "... under stand the severity of the fin ancial crisis . . . and take appropriate measures to re duce costs to fit into reduced athletic budgets." A large contributing factor in the increased costs of athletics at EOSC was a rise in medical insurance rates. Referring to that problem, the President said. "The concept of participants themselves underwriting at least a portion of the operating costs of student activities seems to deserve more and extended discussion." EOSC students participating on the speech team, rodeo team; in theater, music, and many other clubs and organizations currently subsidize at least a portion of their activity. President Briggs pointed out in the statement that "Intercolle giate athletics have tradition ally received preferential treatment" over other cam pus activities, and that "Per haps the fiscal crunch we now face will allow us an oppor tunity to step back and take a hard look at the role of the intercollegiate sports pro gram and look to our total institutional opportunities." Other decisions designed to deal with the financial situ ation include that (1) not more than one football game will be played before classes begin next fall; and not more than 8 games be scheduled; (2) junior varsity program be maintained; 3 more inten-. sive and expanded programs be developed in the intra mural and club sports programs 3 'A I A Over TIi3 Tea Cup Iroclisfers piece 'A. 0Y inVIYtlVIOnG By A.
