Tuesday, June 1,1976 — THE GRYPHON — Page Three Funding Equality Gained In Sports “We do not slight girls’ sports in funding,” said Dudley Whitley, Senior High’s Athletic Director, in response to rumors that girls’ sports were not getting necessary funds. The nature of the equipment needed for the sport and the number of participants are the main criteria for determining the amount of money spent on each sport. “Naturally,” said Whitiey, “the football team gets more money, because it is more expensive to outfit the players (approximately $150 per play er), and because the football team has more players than any other team at Senior High.” Another underlying factor in determining the amount of money spent on the entire athletic program is the revenues Walnut Restaurant SERVING: Breakfast Lunch Dinner AAon.-Fri. 6:30-8:30 p.m. collected from boys’ football and basketball games, since the money collected from these two sports supports the athletic department at Senior High. A bad season in football or basketball, or both, could mean a decrease in attendance, and consequently a decrease in revenue. That would mean that less money would be spent in all sports, and that only needed equipment would be bought. If, on the other hand, the football and basketball teams had a good season, revenues would in crease, and special items such as the pitching machine and track pads would be bought if there was any extra money left at the end of the year. Whitley cites the relative newness of girls’ sports as the reason the girls may not have as much as the boys. “Some of the boys’ teams have been organiz ed since Senior High was built and have accumulated equip ment over the years that they are still using,” said Whitley. “But most of the girls’ teams have been organized less than five years and have not been able to accumulate as much equipment. To insure fairness, every team is on a rotation basis. New uniforms are purchased for each team every four to six years, and equipment is purchased for each team when needed. Equipment, is shared, or common property. Tennis balls are shared equally by the girls’ and boys’ teams just as basketballs are shared • utr STAFF CHOSEN — Co-editors of the Hl-Noc-Ar for 1976-77 are Teresa Bulluck and Martha Cash, Business Manager is Nan Reese, Ad Manager is Susan Collie, Circulation Managers are Curt Todd and Johanna Lancaster.

Uniforms are the only things that a team has sole possession of. “The federal government said by passing Title IX that we must offer equal facilities and equipment to boys’ and girls’ teams,” said Whitley. “But we have been striving to do that since the advent of girls’ sports at Senior High.” The Hi-noc-ar also announces the new staff members for next year.
