Women scholarships t will come this fall (Col tins rdiive Pagel) said Athletic Direcitr Set tan- ham. "How they will he distri- buted will be decided by the women's athletic director." The long-expected break wilh tradition is a significant step for Michigan's women's sports program, which includes seven varsity sports: swimming, ten- nis, basketball, volleyball, gym nastics, field hocke\ and syn- chronized swimming. How the scholarships will be divided between the various sports is up to recently appoint- ed women's Athletic Director Virginia Hunt. "We are considering the en- tire range of possibilities, said Hunt. "Whether they are limit- ed to just seniors, or the best player on a team, will be de- cided in the next couple of weeks." Neither the exact number of scholarships to be awarded nor the total amount of money in- volved has been announced. But the money used will come from the men's scholarship fund. "These scholarships are in addition to the men's," said Canham. "The majority of the funds for men's scholarships comes from contributions. We are now going to start fund- raising for women." Last week, Michigan State be- came the n i n t h conference school to announce such a plan. The eventual goal of schools giving scholarships to women is i> rie women's sports to the status of men's non-revenue sports. Revenue sports at Mich- i-1 are football, basketball and hackey. 'I agree with that (goal)," said Canham. "That's the gen- erally accepted position all over th Big Ten." Though Hunt did not say who would get the scholarships, she did say who definitely would not. In order to steer clear of the sometimes shady world of recruiting, freshwomen will not be eligible for scholarships. "Recruiting is a problem," said Hunt. "To avoid it we're not giving scholarships to fresh- men, though a number of in- stitutions do. We're going to give them to the upperclassmen who have proven their ability." When asked if such a policy would hurt Michigan's chances of landing the better high school athletes, Hunt said, "I hope it won't. I hope they will come for the excellent athletic and aca- demic programs. I hope Mich- igan will sell itself." Canham said the number of scholarships will increase over the years as the fund-raising, which he heads, gathers mo- mentum. Michigan's women swimmers will be eligible for athletic scholarships in the fall as well as women student-athletes in five other sports.; gymnastics, basketball, field hockey, tennis, and volleyball. Athletic Director Don Canham confirmed the new policy yesterday. The Michigan women's swimming team, pictured above, won the 1976 Big Ten championships.
