* Recreation budget,
cut to meet demand
By KENT WALLEY
In an effort to spend its money more wisely, the recreational sports depart-
ment has cut some services not fully utilized by students and has reallocated the
funds to programs in greater demand. Dr. Michael Stevenson, director of
tional sports, said that this year's cuts inclide:
1) A shortening of the hours of the Sports Coliseum is available for use. It used
to be opened at 11 a.m. The new hours are from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through
Friday.
2) CUTTING OF intramural officials, (in softball from two to one, in football
from three to two).
3) A decreasing in the number of assistants such as gym assistants, lifeguar-
ds, clerical staff and management assistants during the times of low demand, but
adding additional workers during the busy months, primarily January, February,
and March.
Stevenson added that the above cuts then fund such projects as:
1) INCREASING THE building hours at the Margaret Bell Pool. It used to be
len at 7:45 a.m. It is now open from 7:15 to 10:00 a.m.
2) Purchasing or repairing of stolen or damaged weight equipment.
3) HELPING TO keep buildings in "top notch" condition.
4) Beginning a new outdoor recreational sports program.
AT PRESENT, there is one employee for the recreational sports departing
working part-time to gather information to plan an outdoor recreational program.
The department hopes to offer programs in the future such as hiking, biking,
backpacking, cross country skiing, and canoeing. They also hope to have an out-
door resource center available for student use sometime this year.
This resource center would contain books and other references where students
could find out information about outdoor sports in this area. For example, a
tudent interested in cross country skiing could go to the resource center and find
t where he could go to rent cross country skis.
IN ADDITION to the resource center, the recreational sports department is
hoping to sponsor an outdoor recreational fair. At this fair there would be displays
and demonstratins from various merchants and outdoor sports clubs in the Ann
Arbor area. Demonstrations could include things such as a Kayak demonstration
in one of the University pools.
Students who attend this fair would be asked to answer a survey so that the
recreational sports department could get an idea of how much student interest
there is in outdoor sports.
Although many funds have been reallocated for programs such as these, there
was an insignificant one percent budget cut. According to Stevenson, the
recreational sports department, like most other units at the University, receives a
e percent cut each year. These funds the University saves on cuts are then used
beef up employees salaries.
THIS ONE percent cut is even less significant for recreational sports, because
only 38 to 40 percent of the operating budget for the department comes from the
general University fund. The remaining funds are raised by the department itself
in the form of locker fees, rental fees and other nominal fees charged to students.
However, Stevenson said of the future, "We may take (budget) cuts as well as
other units in the University. But I feel we will always offer a top quality program.
Reallocation of funds is the best way to offer a good program."
Stevenson also mentioned that (in only extreme circumstances) if the budget
had to be cut the first thing to go would be extended hours at buildings, during
Afnes such as Christmas vacation. However he added "I anticipate no big sur-
rises that will have a major impact on the students."
ILLINI FACE POSSIBLE FORFEITS
Wilson to
By DREW SHARP
With wire service reports
Illinois quarterback David Wilson's
attorneys will be in court today to get
an order which will allow the con-
troversial signal caller to play in the
Illini's game with Missouri tomorrow.
Robert Auler, Wilson's attorney, will
appear in appellate court in
Springfield, Ill. to seek an overruling of
Circuit Court judge Harry Clem's
decision to declare Wilson ineligible for
the remainder of the season. The
decision may have more severe
reprecussions, however.-1
The possible forfeiture of Illinois' fir-
st two victories may be decided at a Big
Ten faculty representative meeting to
be held tomorrow in Chicago, according
to Prof. Thomas J. Anton, Michigan's
conference faculty representative.
"I'm not exactly sure what will hap-
pen at the meeting," said Anton, a
professor of political science at the
university. "This meeting was
originally scheduled to discuss the
women's athletics programs. After that
is taken care of, we will discuss the
ight ru
matter of Illinois, but I am not certain if
we'll decide on anything."
The validity of the Illini's sqson
opening triumphs over Northwestern
and Michigan State have been in
question since Clem's decision was laid
down Wednesday night.
The judge reversed his original in-
junction order, which allowed Wilson to
play in the first two games, when Big
Ten attorneys proved that the con-
ference's eligibility committee was
given false transcripts when Wilson ap-
plied for eligibility earlier this year.
Clem's decision has set the stage for a
conference precedent-the possible for-
feiting of a school's games.
"The Big Ten has never had to force a
school to forfeit its games," said Mark
Rudner, assistant director of services
for the Big Ten. "The situation will be
entirely left up to the conference
faculty representatives. They have the
power to do it. They are the rulling body
in this situation, but I can't say off hand
ling
what they will decide."
One faculty representative has
already let his feelings on the issue be
known.
Larry Nobles of Northwestern thinks
the forfeiture of Illinois' two victories is
the only ethical thing to do.
"If we were in that same situation,
we would make amends," said Nobles
"I'd volunteer a forfeit immediately,
and I think that would be the univer-
sity's position too."
The Wildcats have not won a Big Ten
game since 1977 when they knocked off
the Illini.
Neale Stoner, director of athletics for
Illinois expressed disappointment in
the judge's decision, saying that he
mainly felt sorry for Wilson.
Michigan coach Bo Schembechler felt
the matter should have never gone to
the courts.
LADIES MATCH TODAY:

By M.J. SCHNEIDER1
The frown on Toe Simon's face
served only to emphasize his carefully-
measured words. In the last two tour-
naments, his golf team had let him
down.
At Wisconsin, the women's golf squad
finished sixth in a field of 18. At Illinois'
State, they were fifth of 14 teams. The
Michigan golf coach had expected
much better.
"I'M NOT pleased about the way
they're playing," said Simon. "They're
not playing up to their capabilities."
Simon anticipates better scores
from his team this weekend as the lady
wready
linksters host the Michigan In-
vitational. The tournament will be held
on the Michigan golf course today and
tomorrow.
In a field of nine teams, Simon an-
ticipates the main competition for the
Wolverines to come from the Ohio State
contingency, a perennial collegiate
power, and a strong Michigan State
team. The Spartans proved their worth
last weekend by grabbing top honors at
Illinois State.
"Ohio State has a good team. So does
Michigan State," said Simon. "It's
going to be very interesting to see what
happens."
