'VOL. LXV NO. 1 UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA, COLUMBIA, S.C. 29208 SEPTEMBER 6,1973 Faculty Moves On -Sports Funds By Bob Craft Associate Editor A resolution that would require Athletic Director Paul Dietzel to come before the Student Allocations Committee (SAC) for yearly athletic funding was passed by the Faculty Senate yesterday. The resolution must now go before the Board of Trustees for final approval. A FIGHT between the SAC and the athletic department last spring over the funding of sports clubs, such As soccer, rugby and women's sports triggered the resolution which has bounced around in a committee for months. Scott Derks, then SAC chairman, gave a unanimous commission opinion that the sports clubs should be funded by the athletic department. In a letter to Dietzel, Derks said the commission which had previously funded the clubs out of the student activity fee, would no longer do so if the athletic department was unwillinE to take over or share the funding load. The philosophy behind the SAC's move was that since some of the sports clubs were playing intercollegiate teams funded b) their respective athletic departments, Dietzel should like wise assume this funding responsibility. PRESIDENT JONES told the Senate, "a great deal ot groun< work must be laid for this. This problem is a high priority prob lem.".,P. Rufus G. Fellers of the College of Engineering sai( a considerable amount of study needs to be done on the proposal but added since it was student money involved, the students shouk determine how it is spent. A fee of $12.50 taken from tne bz, paid by full-time student, goes to the funding of the athletic department. The student activitl fee which has previously funded the sports clubs and all othei student organizations is $13.50. THE SENATE'S action is part of a continuing drive to cut dowi on the financial independence of the athletic and particularly Diet zel. A yeac ago, the Board of Trustees took control of Campu Shop revenues that go to the funding of the USC Cheerleader and the USC Band away from the former LSU coach whose popular ity dropped drastically since the losing football seasons of th past two years. Also the the trustee's responded to mounting public pressur last spring and released the terms Dietzel's contract with the un versity. 6Library Addition N By MARSHALL SWANSON the project, say that they'r Gamecock Staff Writer running about two and one-ha] months behind their planne Work on the Undergraduate schedule.
