bly, the faculty representative
body, the present student athletic
assessment of $5 per term would-
be "insufficient" to fund needed
improvements in the. recreational
program. Also the report states, it
is "totally unrealistic" to expect
money for such a program would
come from the State Legislature.
Therefore, to support an inde-
pendent recreational program it
would prove necessary to cut funds
from other already hard hit Uni-
versity programs.
Ideas for less drastic changes in
the present system abound.
One possible method, proposed
in the ACRICS subcommittee re-
port, would have the athletic de-
partment earmark for recreational
sports, the proceeds from profes-
sional exhibition games at Michi-
gan Stadium, and the eleventh
game added to this year's football
schedule. Another system for in-
creasing outlays for recreational
sports which has been developed
at Noter Dame University would
place a surcharge tax on season
football tickets.
Arguing that a price rise would
hurt sales, however, Canham has
stated his opposition to any in-
crease in ticket prices.
