Page 10 - The Michigan Daily-Tuesday, March 21, 1989 Weidenbach gives annual athletic address to SACUA I t BY ANDREW GOTTESMAN Bo Schembechler missed his first opportunity to address SACUA as athletic director yesterday due to sickness, but Associate Director Jack Weidenbach filled in to give the annual talk and to field questions. Weidenbach began by addressing the status of women's athletics. He said that the athletic department added 15 new scholarships for women this year and is planning to add an additional 11 next year. "At that time the women's program will then be brought up to about 98 percent of what the NCAA authorizes," he said. The cost of the new scholarships will total about $225,000. Furthermore, he said an additional $50,000 had been allocated for women's coaches salaries. "What women athletes desire is the same as men," Weidenbach said. "Women enjoy and want to be competitive just as much as men."b Weidenbach also spoke about the athletic budget as a whole. For the first time ever, Michigan is projecting a deficit. Weidenbach said this is because of the payment of debt on the new Canham Natatorium, the increased expenditures on women's athletics and a bad road schedule. Whenever Michigan plays on the road, it receives half of the ticket revenue. This year, the Michigan football team's forays to Northwestern, the smallest Big Ten school, and Wisconsin netted the Wolverines less than hoped. "When we go on the road, it's just as important for us to have a big crowd wherever we go." Michigan has increased its football ticket prices for next season as a short-term remedy. He said that the budget is a problem which ex- athletic director Don Canham hinted at last year and which the Board in Control of Intercollegiate Athletics must deal with now and in the future. "Sooner or later, we must, I think, look at how many sports we can support," Weidenbach said. Michigan currently has 21 varsity programs, but an athletic department sub-committee is developing criteria to add and delete sports. The talk winded up with a discussion of athletes and academics. 0 n I0 ~ Last lookROSIN LOZNAK/I Last look Ex-Michigan basketball coach Bill Frieder fields questions - before Michigan's first game under Interim coach Steve Fisher. Frieder bought a ticket, after Athletic Director Bo Schembechler decided he would not be on the bench, in order to watch Michigan for a final time. Frieder said before the game he hoped the Wolverines jumped out to an early lead, "or it will kill me." Due to media pressure, Frieder moved around the Omni during the second half of Michigan's 92-87 victory over Xavier. Frieder began his job at Arizona State, yesterday. /Dally 6 Men' S linksters tee off in Florida BY THEODORE COX The Michigan men's golf team began its 1989 campaign last week with its first two tournaments of the season. Early in the week the golfers took seventh place at the Central Florida Golf Classic in Orlando before placing twelfth at the University of South Florida Golf Classic in Tampa. Seven members of the team took the trip to Florida, and in each match two different players sat out. The sum of the top four individual scores comprised the team score. According to Michigan coach Jim Carras, the player switch caused the varying results. Carras was pleased with the play of his top three 'P' Michigan rugby team drops three FROM STAFF REPORTS The Michigan Rugby Club had a rude awakening to their spring season last weekend, losing three matches to an experienced Cincinnati Club. The 'A' side lost 22-6, as John Wooley scored the lone try (four points) for Michigan. David Horton completed the conversion for the Wolverines' other two points. The 'B' side fought to a 16-14 loss against the Wolfhounds. Ian, Chapman, Tim Otto, and Jim Staples scored tries for the All Blues, and Jonathan Lickterman converted one of those tries. The 'C' side battled Cincinnati's split A/B squad to an 8-7 loss. Mike Sibley scored a try for Michigan with Curt Small kicking a penalty kick for three points. Michigan plays Saturday at home against the Detroit Tradesman. golfers. Five golfers have last names beginning with 'P.' Co-captains Hersh Patel and Bob Papp, along with Chris Pond, shot well in both tournaments. In the Central Golf Classic, Patel and Papp led the team with a total of 222 and 228 over three rounds. Arizona won with an overall score of 872, while Michigan's 909 points placed it ahead of the other two Big Ten teams in the tournament, Purdue (911) and Indiana (921). The Wolverines had mixed results at the USF Golf Classic. Patel , Papp, and Pond each played improved their scores on the longer, tougher course, though each was unable to break 80. "You can never count an 80 or higher," Carras said, "it's too demanding on the rest of the kids." Carras felt the field in Tampa, which didn't include any conference schools, was much better than the one in Orlando. i y STUDENTS, FACULTY, & STAFF!!!
