Page Iwelve THE MICHIGAN DAILY Friday, July Z, 19l Hunt appointed women's AD By RICH LERNER Dr. Virginia hunt has been named the new director of women's intercollegiate aathletics at Michigan. Ilunt replaces Marie Hartwig, who became the first women's athletic director in 1973 and is retiring after 50 years of association with women's athletics and the physical education program at the University. Hunt was director of athletics for both men and women at Wooster College in Ohio in 1973-74. She snent the last year finishing her doctorate at North Caro- lina-Greensboro. A GRADUATE of Iowa, IInt taught at Oberlin College before going to Woo- ster, where she also coached field hoc- key, basketball. and volleyball. She is the chairwoman-elect of the national board of woman officials. "I think this is a crucial time in de- termining the direction women's ath- letics will take," Hunt said. "Michigan has been a leader in men's athletics and I would hope the women's athletics pro- gram would assume a similar role." "I have not had that much opportunity to evaluate the program which is neces- sary before I establish some long-range goals. Philosophically, everybody is aware that women are getting more and more involved in competitive sports and enjoying it for the same reasons as the men. It's not alwaays the desire to win bt the desire to achieve excellence. Simebody's got to come out a loser e-erv time, but both teams can still strive to achieve excellence. "THE MICHIGAN women's varsity program has been in existence for sev- er-il years, but it has not been as ex- tensive as it could be. It's a great oppor- tunity for me to work in expanding the program. "I think the number of sports that are avaailable right now at Michigan prob- ably needs to be expanded.-However I would hate to see any decrease in the existing program because of expansion," Hint said. Specifically, Hunt mentioned promot- ing golf and track to the varsity status. "We're looking to get them into the Varsity program. I'm hoping to get them started as soon as we see a demand and a response for the program from the stidents," she said. HUNT, WHO wrote her doctoral dis- sertation on the history of the Associa- tion of Intercollegiate Athletics for Wo- men, thinks the Title IX doctrine that has triggered, to some degree, the growth of wotnen's inter-collegiate ath- letics may have hurt the cause more than it helped. "Title IX was a terrific blow to wo- men's athletic programs. It hasn't al- lowed people to make up their minds about what they want in their program," she said. As an example, the women's programs may be forced to recruit in a manner similar to the men in order to achieve parity, according to Hunt. "I'D HATE to see us get to the point where we only have a select few partici- pating. I like the "walk-on" idea." Despite Hunt's dislike for recruiting, she favors athletic scholarships for wo- men student-athletes. "I ant looking forward to the time when athletic scholarships will be avail- able - and it will probably be in the not too distant future." Roberts downs Birds, 2-0 Twirls four-hitter for Tigers fourth straight BALTIMORE -- Dave Roberts stopped Baltimore on four hits and pitched the Detroit Tigers to a 2-0 victory over the Orioles last night with the help of Alex Johnson's solo home run. The surging Tigers have won four in a row, tying their longest streak of the season, and nine of their last 11. Baltimore has lost four straight and seven of its last 10. Detroit's Rusty Staub, the only baserunner for either team through the first three innings, rapped his second single of the game with one out in the fourth and then scored an unearned run. Staub moved to second on a fielding error by shortstop Mark Belanger and both runners advanced when Jason Thompson grounded out. A wild pitch by loser Rudy May, S-5, allowed Staub to score. Tribe trips Yankees Cl EVELAND 0) - Rick Manning tripled home the eventual winning run in the seventh inning as the streaking Cleveland Indians handed the New York Yankees their straight loss, 3-2, last night.

THE BREAKING poin~t came over the issue of some countries refusing to play South Africa. The United States put two similar resolutions before the annual meeting of the Davis Cup Com- mittee imposing suspensions from the competi- tion for one or more years on countries with- drawing because of political interference or gov- ernment action. ed. After the vote, this decision was confirmed. The future of the Davis Cup as a major com- petition was left in doubt. The draw for the 1977 tournament will be held Saturday, without par- ticipation by the United States, Britain and France. Carrico said "I would guess that other nations might follow" the United States' lead- WHEN NEWSMEN asked Carrico if it might not be better to stay in the organization and try to change it, he replied, "We are tired of the fight. A substantial number of the representa- tives there do not know a tennis ball from a golf ball. They are there to vote as their govern- ments tell them."
