Saturday, November 18, 1974 an Shackelford Th Ds"y.Tr Ht omen's sports have gro wn, ui not enou igh "You've come a long way baby" is a description of women's athletics that can no longer pacify the rising female demand for more sports opportunity. This is true at Carolina, where women have often had greater athletic outlets than other schools in the state. But what is pushing administrators to upgrade the women's program is Title IX, the legislation barring sports discrimination in federally-funded institutions. The Title IX guidelines, which President Ford is expected to sign into law in January, say: No person shall on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, be treated differently from another person or otherwise be discriminated against in any physical education or athletic program . ?r Though equal athletic expenditure will not be irequired for the sexes, the specific Title IX effect 'Xn Carolina remains indefinite. Meetings have been held, writers have speculated and administrators have agonized about the situation, but most all agree UNC is in better .shape than many others, jr UNC offers eight intercollegiate sports for women with a total operational budget of $25,000 (out of the athletic department's $1.5 million). Each sport is coached by a different person, and the women athletes also have access to the UNC Sports Medicine program. In fact for the last two years, trainers have accompanied the women's basketball and field hockey teams on- the-road. Last year the University also awarded its first female scholarship (to Lexington native, Carney Timberiake), and coaches in the women's program were paid for the first time. This fall the women's program, which involves about 120 girls, is under the UNC Athletic Department and director Homer Rice. Previously, the program came under physical education and Dr. CarBlyth, the head of the department. Serious program Dr. Virginia R. Holt began the intercollegiate program for women in 1971, replacing the informal, playday affairs that had formed the only interschool athletic base for females since the I940's. "Girls now want a, serious athletic program," said UNC Women's Director Frances Hogan, appointed this past summer to Holt's position and a member of the physical education department over 20 years. She also coaches varsity tennis. ' "You can't go out there and organize on a club basis with women wanting better organization and competition," Hogan said. "I've always competed in tennis and field hockey, and 1 like to see the highly-skilled girl have this opportunity. If she doesn't make the team, she can still play on club or intramural teams." Pointing out the strong golf, tennis, field hockey and volleyball teams this fall, Hogan continued, "I would say we (Carolina) are the envy of almost every school." The golf team, led by first-year coach Dr. Pam Robinson, had an undefeated slate in only its second season at Carolina. The golfers, spearheaded by Mindy Moore, Sally Austin and Kathy Sinopoli, beat Wake Forest, UNC-G, Longwood and William and Mary. The tennis team notched another perfect record of 7-0, after going 1 0-0 last season. This fall the netters won 58 of 69 matches, shutting out East Carolina, Furman and William and Mary. Led by Timberiake, Beth Hamilton and Jane Preyer, the defending state champion team also trounced Mary Baldwin College, 13-2. Both tennis and golf teams resume play this March. The field hockey team, coached by Ann Gregory, recently placed three players on the Deep South team after a much-improved season. Frosh inner forward Vickie Greenwood cornered a spot on the first team, while goalie Patty Williams and center halfback Laurie Woodard were selected for the second squad. In its third year at Carolina, the volleyball team had its best season. Three years ago the team was 5-8, followed by a 9-5 mark last year. This year: 17-5. In the state tournament. Coach Mary Frances Branch's volleyballers missed a regional berth by only one position. They finished fourth after a disappointing three-game loss to Wake Forest. Currently, the women's swim team has chalked up three wins against no losses over Duke, East Carolina and UNC-G. Meanwhile, the basketball, gymnastics and fencing teams are preparing for post-Christmas campaigns. Junior Varsity next This fall UNC also added its first junior varsity women's sport. Coached by Dr. Angela Lumpkin, the team used part of the varsity's funds to cover expenses because no budget appropriation was made last year. Its continuance and the start of similar jayvee squads, Hogan said, "depends on whether we have the personnel and the interest. They begged for tennis last year, but we didn't have anyone to coach it." But hiring a person in the women's program just to coach, which would alleviate the coaching shortage, is not a favored idea, Hogan said, noting all eight women's coaches are also teachers in the physical education department. "It is the feeling of the AI AW (Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women, comparable to the men's NCAA) that coaches should be physical educators," Hogan clarified. "I don't think they want us to hire coaches. We want to keep women's sports under control and educationally sound. "1 guess there would be some (coaches who only coach) who are capable," she admitted, "but you've got to be careful who you get. The state (NCAI AW) recommends you hire those in your physical education department." Scholarships Accenting this educational aspect in women's sports carries over into another important area: scholarships. Many school officials last Spring were upset with Carolina's decision to award a female grant-in-aid. Hogan said she was told by UNC officials to announce at last Spring's NCAIAW meeting that Carolina would not award another until another school made the move. "Many women still don't want scholarships because recruiting could create real problems," she said. "There are no women that 1 know of, hired just to coach. They are members of physical education departments sometimes teaching, coaching and running intramurals. "1 don't know of any who want to get into recruiting," Hogan stressed. "Women have always had a multitude of things to do. It's amazing the percentage who can't even get a supplement (for coaching) or a reduction in teaching load," Hogan, basing her remarks on a personal survey, said. Whether Title IX will help change the coaching situation isn't really known, Hogan said. "The University's trying real hard to comply with Title IX, but you have to have a wait and see attitude until it's signed by the President." v: . I i s - -' . !: -1 J I S .

Albright Sports Writer A 13-4 season is nothing to be ashamed of, but the Carolina women's basketball team looks for an even better record in '75. Try-outs this week brought 34 women to Carmichael Auditorium. From these 34, Coach Angela Lumpkin will choose 15 for the team because "that's the largest workable number for a team and besides, that's all the uniforms we've got." World University player Marsha Mann, Dawn Allred, BJ.' Woodard, PROBLEM PREGNANCY HOTLINE Call 1-404-237-4646 Collect Mandy Mauney, Pat Buchanan, and Linda Edwards comprise this year's returning players. "We have a good crop of freshmen and transfers trying out," said Coach Lumpkin, "and with those returning, we should probably win the majority of our 16 games." Sophomore Dawn Allred agrees. "We should be real good. Close to undefeated, if not undefeated." "I'm glad I'm not doing the cutting," said senior Marsha Mann of the basketball hopefuls. "I'm just sorry we , can't go any farther with the talent we've got." Mann was referring to the probation given the UNC women's basketball team by the North Carolina Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (NCAIAW) for alleged illegal practices last season. The probation prohibits 111 111 ' ."m""mr" ' r- . i ,; ,.,--..,.",;. ' vi'v,, ': .irt -n" T ??-;. ' , o - I This Could Be Your Last Stereo System.

"Because I wasn't here last year, what I've heard (about the reasons for the probation) is strictly second hand," she said. "I would like to forget it and get on with helping Carolina become the basketball power in the state." Coach Lumpkin believes the biggest problem with probation will be keeping the team mentally up when everyone else is peaking for tournament play. "But we'll get over that," said Allred, sharing Lumpkin's point of view, and added that "it should be a real good year." Carolina's first game will be with State in Raleigh at 7 p.m. Monday, Jan. 13.
