In response to the soccer team's request for varsity status, Dietzel said, "the soccer team wants someone to take over the financial responsibility. We are not going to take on a sport unitl we are ready financially and can make sure it's a real, first-class operation." According to Dietzel, there is no way to separate financial responsibility from varsity recognition. "The only financial support for the soccer team comes from the members of the team", said Soccer Club president Allan Rutherfurd. Funds are not available from the Student Affairs Committee which helps support other minor sports such as rugby and sailing. Dr. Paul Fidler, chairman of the com mittee, said funds are distributed on a priority basis and that soccer is one of five organizations which did not receive money. Charles Witten, vice president for student affairs, will help the soccer club in communicating with the Athletic Department, ac cording to Dr. Fidler. Other reasons besides financial are involved in the soccer team's request for varsity recognition. The team cannot play conference teams without varsity status or join the Intercollegiate Soccer Foot Ball Association. Rutherfurd indicated that he has trouble getting referees for the games because of the team's lack of varsity standing. ord Bar ;ents )r Fam ale Lis : Taylor now reg. 6" nOW omplete Record a m seeks cognition Dietzel explained that there are difficulties other than financial in taking on the soccer team.
