Of Athletic E By Charles Bradley and Ray Woolfe Sporta Writers Last Tuesday, the better part of ur afternoon was spent in a highly nformative interview with Direc or of Athletics Rex Enright. Over he dinner table, which inciden ally, is our favorite place to con luct interviews, he discussed with is every phase of athletics at the Jniversity. We then adjourned to tis office to be provided with addi lonal facts and figures concerning he related expenditures. During this time, we were ad ised of facts that all too few Caro inians are aware of, one of these >eing that football alone is directly -esponsible for the major portion sf the revenue needed to maintain modern and versatile athletic rogram and all its related activi les such as cheerleaders and a Pand. Funds Are Limited It is readily evident, due to the imitation on funds, that all partic pants of said extra-curricular ac ivities cannot be subsidized. In 'act, if financial aid was provided o such a degree that the best pos ible athletes could be acquired, the hances for participation by aver tge students would actually be essened. The present program, in effect, >rovides that evening meals will >e given to the participants of all kthletic activities, during the sea ion of their respective sports, on ,he assumption that late practice :ends to cause inconvenience to heir board plans and too, as a ;oken of appreciation for their iervices. Recruiting It is preferable to recruit and iubsidize several representative )layers for minor sports, and in loing so, provide the morale and 3restige sufficient to keep Caro ina always in contention and still mncourage student participation. It is important for the individual te! vor ! ste! ~\You can, either end i ubItg iwrunder,around and #MRI Mabnin*boel lid! s Problem rpenditures to understand that the subsidizing of some athletes, rather than all, is not the result of do-emphasis of that sport or prejudice toward a few, but rather the providing of a rallying point around which a team must be built. If the students themselves de monstrate substantial evidence of enthusiastic support of one activ ity or another, then the aid granted will almost necessarily be in creased. Sources of Revenue The sources of revenue for the Athletic Department can be listed as follows, in order of their moni tary value: 1. Receipts from football games 2. BAM Club 3. Student activities fees 4. Miscellaneous As an indication of importance, if football were entirely dependent on football proceeds, as some have suggested, then there would barely be enough left over to equip minor sports teams, let alone provide scholarships and travel expenses. Budget A budget is set up in the sum mer proceeding each school year. This budget, based on the expected needs of each sport and activity, is passed on by the Board of Di rectors for athletic expenditures, upon the recommendation of the athletic director. Only a certain amount of money is available, and the total perceived and expenditures must fall within this Unount. Often times it is necessary to reduce the amounts of money re quested and these cuts are made only in accordance with the rela tive importance of the activity as well as its original contributions to the program. In all fairness to those con cerned, it must be said that the de emphasis of the major sports, primarily football, for the better ment of minor sports, particularly at this stage of development, would be "biting the hand that feeds them." Intramurals Will Take A "Breather The close of intramural football and golf will offer a brief "breather" for intramural athletes. Inter-fraternity sports will resume again, however, about the middle of February. The sports yet to be played off include Intramural volleyball, t e a n i s, badminton, handball, basketball, bowling, and softball. The Spring semester will really be the "rush" season for intramurals.

State Captain Bill Rearick, North Carolina State's 1958 grid captain, followed in the coin-tossing tradition of last year's captain, Dick Hunter.
