g PUBLIC SUPPORT around the
r state has increased Parsons'
confidence in the program. "Now
that people are aware we can
compete nationally, we've made
our giant step," she said. "Now we
will move in inches towards more
success. We, the coaches and the
athletes, have established a good
foundation."
According to Parsons, USC has
gone from having two sports at the
outset of the women's athletic
program in 1967 to having four
teams in a national top twenty poll
in 1979. "I think the South Carolina
people, the faculty, and the
students should be pleased,
because in the past two seasons
we've moved to having basketball
ranked 15th in the country, tennis
finishing seventh, swimming being
ranked tenth, and softball finishing
13th."
Parsons said that women's
athletics has moved to the point
where people are identifying individual
schools and recognizing
| good women's programs. "You
| can be on an airplane and people
? sitting next to you will talk to you
I about women's sports," she said.

women's sports was aided by
I government direction. Originally
under the jurisdiction of student
affairs, the program at USC now
has a full-time athletic director
and awards 100 scholarships a
year. USC also began housing its
women athletes in the same

"That's what happens when team:

Being a relatively new feature o
college life, women's sports as o
yet do not have many traditiona
rivalries as many men's sports do
Parsons believes, however, tha
women are developing mori
rivalries as their programs grov
stronger. "Women's athletics ha:
that refreshing thing to add to th<
university life," she added.
STUDENT SUPPORT is still no
at the level Parsons would like t
see. She believes apathy is a ma jo
problem with the women's sport
program at USC. "I can't see wh;
with 25,000 students, 5,000 canno
show up to watch a game," th<
coach said. "I bet if they saw i
once they would want to go again.'

e Women's gymnastics was

? Parsons believes the club form will
be more beneficial for the sport
than the previous format. "In

cellent way for USC to compete.

gymnastics.
