SPORTS r ' 4 4., The Michigan Daily Friday, September 19, 1980 Page 11 * 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: Ltnkswer 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."
