Writers DiscU.
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,

ion of their respective sports, on
,he assumption that late practice

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

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.

land, Virginia, came to Cv.7olina in

few colleges. He was also con

N. C. State Captain
Bill Rearick, North Carolina
State's 1958 grid captain, followed
in the coin-tossing tradition of last
year's captain, Dick Hunter.
Rearick won seven out of nine
mid-field gambles this year. Last
fall, Hunter won the toss eight
out of 10 times.
School Record
Fullback Neil MacLean of Wake
Forest erased one of Bill Barnes'
school marks earlier in the season
when he carried the ball 30 times
against Virginia Tech. Barnes'
mark was 25 times set against
Duke in 1950.
