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. - ZENA DAVE Newsroan 734-418-4111 opt.3 Correctins corrections@mihigandaily.com Arts Settion arts@michigandcily.co Sports Section sports@michigandaily.om Display Sales display@michigandaily.com Online Sales onlineads@michigandaily.com Ness Tips news~cghindaiy.com Letterstoathe Editor rorhedaiygnhchigondaily.een Editnrial Pate opinion@michigcsdaily.com Photography Sectin rlhorognichigasdaily.cox Classified Sales clacied@michigandcily.com Finance .finance@michigandaily.om~ 0 Aaron Wernham, director of the Health Impact Proect, discusses the need to consolt doctors when makint polity decisions yesterday.
