WHAT'S UP, DOC?
Students fight for women's sports
39 years ago this week (April
19th, 1973): Education junior
Sheryl Szady and LSA junior
Linda Laird asked the Univer-
sity's Board of Regents to create
a varsity athletic program for
women during the public com-
mentary section of the regents'
meeting, accordingcto a statement
from Szady.
At the time, female athletes
could only conmpete in intercol-
legiate athletics through cluhs
sponsored hy the Recreational
Sports Department, according to
Szady.
The University implemented
a female varsity sports program
into its Athletic Department in
February 1974 under the direc-
tion of President Robben Fleming.
In an interview yesterday,
Szady said she's proud of the
progress made in female athletics.
"It's definitely moving in the
right direction, and the women
athletes now are having won-
derful experiences," Szady said.
"They get to travel to play, and the
type of competition is so much
different and so muchhbetter than
what we had. I know t speak for
hoth Linda and I, we're so happy
that the program has moved in
the right direction and is doing
well."
59 years ago this week (April
17, 1953): University officials
expressed disappointment over
a hill filed hy the State Senate
Finance Committee which cut
off 85 percent of the University's
hudget request, The Michigan
Daily reported.
While the University request-
ed $9.9 million, the Senate hill
only provided $1.3 million.
University Vice President
Marvin L. Niehuss said the Uni-
versity's funding request was
"entirely legitimate."
He added that all the projects
requested were of importance,
hut two especially important
items included plans for a Medi-
cal Science Building and an auto-
motive lahoratory on North
Campus.
The state authorized $90,000
for a new lihrary on the site of
the automotive lahoratory at the
time.
