The Chancellor's Commission
on Women's Intercollegiate
Athletics has recommended
that $30,000 be alloted to the
program for expenses such as
travel, equipment and uniforms
for the teams. An additional
$30,000 was recommended for
the beginning of a scholarship
program for women athletes.
This commission, which was
composed of representatives
from throughout the university,
as well as a spokesman for the
. status of women's high school
athletics, has provided recom
mendations for the 1974-75
season, as well as for the next
two years.
The commission's report is
now being reviewed by Chan
cellor Zumberge. Copies have
been made available to mem
bers of the Hoard of Regents
and the University System
staff.
According to the commission
report the women's inter
collegiate program "should be
oriented to the highly talented
athlete and should , provide
competition for her which is
. challenging at her level of
ability."
The commission report also
stressed the need for student
input into this program. It
noted that "The program
content should reflect student ,
interest. Students will benefit
most from a program which is
designed to meet their parti
cular interests and which
reflects their particular back
grounds. Procedures for peri
odic monitoring of student
interest should be established."
There were two students on
the Commission.
It was recommended that in
the athletic program the girls
should be provided with uni-
et increases'
forms, equipment, facilities,
adequate supervision, quality
transportation, lodging and
meaJs-during;tr.avel, as. well -as.-,.
with adequate training facilities
such as medical examinations,
team trainers, medical care and
accident insurance.
For the coming season it was
recommended that existing
programs be improved. No new
sports would be introduced.
Existing sports include: volley
ball, field hockey, basketball,
gymnastics, swimming, Softball
and tennis.
For the 1975-76 season,
however, the Commission
recommended the establish
ment of a girls' intercollegiate
track and field team. '
It was also recommended
that the program be admini
stered under the auspices of a
separate division of women's
athletics at the university. Both
the director of the men's and of
the women's divisions would be
responsible directly to the
chancellor.
A break-down of the 1971-75
budget recommendations in
cludes: $10,000 for one FTE for
coaching, $1,750 for the general
budget (insurance, dues, tele
phone, publicity, representa
tion and Supplies), $2,000 for
post-season events such as
regional and national tourna
ments, $830. for secretarial
services, $3,000 for uniforms,
and $800 for miscellaneous.
In addition, funds were asked
for travel, lodging, food,
officials and equipment for the
following sports: field hoekev,
$1,350; volleyball, $2,000; bas
ketball, $2,350; gymnastics,
$1,450; swimming, $1,600; soft
ball, $1,800; tennis, $1,050.
An additional $60,000 was
recommended for the 1975-76
season. That would bring the
total appropriations for that
yesr to'tlS'JI.OOO.

Ag' awards
announced
A total of 159 Nebraska
youths will divide up $45,600 in
financial aid as students at the
University of Nebraska-Lincoln
College of Agriculture this
coming school year, said Ag
College Dean Dr. Ted Ilartung.
The breakdown includes 61
freshmen and the balance
upperclassmen. The grand total
represents 11 per cent of the
student body pursuing an
education at the College of
Agriculture who receive sup
port from almost 70 scholarship
funds.
Hartung said, "With the
constant financial pressures
that today's college students
face, I see these scholarships as
a significant contribution to
relieve some of these pressures
and to contribute, educated
young people to' the field of
agriculture."
Alhlatem leap at
learning chance
By Lynn Silhasek
Picassos, Doc Severensons,
Rudolph Nureyevs, and
Maurice Evanses they aren't.
But not all of the 300
students attending the 39th
Nebraska Allstate fine arts
program from June 12-28 plan
to make a career out of the
area they are taking classes in.
The two-week course which is
open to students from eighth
to twelfth grades throughout
the state, includes classes in
music, speech, art, and dance,
taught by UN-L instructors.
"I just want to get better,"
said Teri Bullock, a Lincoln
Northeast sophomore who
plays the clarinet.
Cindy Owens, a Weeping
Water high school junior, who
decided to make a career of
organ music, after attending
Allstate last year, said she is
attending this year's program
to improve her technique.
John Lampe, a Beatrice high
school junior, and guitarist in a
Beatrice-based rock band called
Buckeye,, said he is attending
Allstate "for a vacation."
Because she might , attend

help to know the teachers,"
was the reason Beckee Beetzer,
a Ralston high school senior,
gave for attending Allstate.
But the majority of 20
Allstaters interviewed agreed
that .the program contained
opportunities not to be found
in the students' school fine arts
programs.
"In a small town, with a
small school band, you just
don't get the sound that you
get here, playing with so many
other kids," said Margaret
Vandegrift, a Stromsburg high
school senior attending Allstate
music classes.
"You get to meet a lot of
different people from all over,"
r

according to Sandy Shadley, a
Robin Mickle junior high
student attending Allstate
dance classes. "You've got
more experienced people
(teaching) here."
Meeting people is an all-day
activity of classes and practice
sessions for the Allstaters, as
they prepare for performances
to be given by each fine arts
department at the end of two
weeks.
"At the end of two weeks
you know a lot," after having
received professional training
and undergoing concentrated
study, according to Maureen
Murphy, a Ralston senior in
speech classes.
But a good part of vhat is
learned at Allstate falls outside
of the realm of fine arts,
according to most of the
students interviewed. Some
said the program provides a
sneak preview of what college
life is like.
"It gives you a chance to be
away from home for a while,"
said Miss Owens. "It's only two
weeks, but once in a while you
do get homesick."
,:' Anotter"" side ' of. university
life thatiih&stud&nis were less
acquaiated with were the
scheduled dormitory meals and
the early morning classes.
"Do you know what time
we have to get up for
breakfast? Six forty-five," said
Linda Heyne, a Pender high
school sophomore attending
music classes.
An 8 a.m. orchestra class
"was a real shocker" for Sue
Owens, a Wayne high school
junior in Allstate's music
classes.
"But it's been a lot of fun
with guys from Boys' State and
(Cornhusker) Basketball
(School) living in the same
dorm," said Miss Heyne.
