N.Y. 10003 By ERIC LUSK Staff Writer In an effort to improve the academic progress of today's student athlete, college athletic coaches are being held more accountable for the academic work of their players. "There is no question here (at UNC) that academics is number one," said' Sylvia Hatchell, UNC women's bas ketball head coach. "Our players are here, first of all, to get a degree and are here to play athletics second." All athletic coaches, like professors or academic administrators, share in the responsibility of watching and gauging their player's progress in the classroom, Hatchell said. Questions of a coach's responsibili ties in academic fields have surfaced recently, especially in the case of Jim Valvano, N.C. State head basketball coach. Valvano and NCSU are pres ently negotiating over a possible breach of Valvano's contract. The university is arguing that Valvano has not encour aged the academic progress of his play ers. While some coaches do struggle to graduate their players, most observers doubt that any coach would discourage their athletes from going to class. "In subtle ways we all encourage students to be educated and well rounded," said Dave Odom, Wake Forest head basketball coach. The extent to which coaches interact with academic progress depends on the group of players, he said. With some teams, coaches need only to mention going to class or studying one or two times a week, but with other teams it requires a great deal more effort. "We are just an arm of our individual institutions, nothing more and nothing less. Only we are more visible and it is easier to measure the day-to-day prog ress of our department," Odom said. Coaches should make giving their players the full opportunity of obtain ing a degree one of their prime efforts, but they should not be entirely respon sible for the grades students achieve, said Harold Hopfenberg, NCSU acting athletic director. "The ultimate responsibility boils down to whether or not the student wants the degree," said Jeff Mullins, head basketball coach at UNC-Char-lotte. Mullins said he and his coaches wanted to try to get their players off to a good start in college. "Being a student athlete today is more difficult than 25 years ago when I was one," he said. "There are more scheduling and travel demands. There is also more pressures to win and con tinuous academic scrutiny by the me dia." To help incoming student athletes, many colleges and universities have set up academic support programs. UNC's program, one of the best in the state, is also one of the most strin gent. UNC coaches and their player's academic progress are reviewed on a yearly basis by a committee consisting of the athletic and faculty administra tion. Any coach having major difficulties keeping his or her players in class faces a number of problems, said John Blan chard, director of UNC athletic aca demic affairs. Academic affairs at UNC helps to support the athletes by monitoring their progress and supervising study halls, in addition to providing a freshman orien tation program, a tutorial program and academic counseling, he said. "Coaches should be more account able because they are more influential than any other individual," he said. Odom said his goal was to keep athletes out of study halls and on their own. "My thinking is that mandatory study halls five days a week for four years graduates robots. Their social well being is number one. I want them (athletes) to interact with university life in total." The results of the academic suppbrt program at UNC have shown drastic improvements since its beginning, in the early 1970s. The overall graduation rate for athletes who entered in 198f'(s 7 1 percent, compared with a 72 percpni; graduation rate for the entire studpiji body. In addition, the football team has graduated more than 70 percent of its players in three of the last four years', has received honorable mention for academics from the College Footbajl Association and has had 12 players on the Atlantic Coast Conference's aca demic honor roll in the last two years. "What needed to happen is that we needed to move academics and athlet ics to their proper places," Blanchard said. "We have done this (at UNC) in a major way. "One of my goals in life is to prove that you can win and still graduate players," he said. 1991 Senior Calendar Class. of 1991: Mar- W E If I P R fc applications are now I T-tQjLff 1 ilahlpfitthpllmimdnsk I Z3ZJZt& shal applu available at the Union desk and are due by 5 p.m. to day.
