.4 The Daily Tar Heel Saturday, October 11, 1 375 Women athletes judge program by Jane Albright Staff Writer Now that athletic departments and the public have recognized women athletes as serious competitors, the women must decide just what kind of athletic program they want. And the biggest question is just how much like the men's program do they want to be? Several Tar Heel women athletes admit that they have both the desire to be as competitive as the men and the desire to keep their program low-key. Senior tennis player Jan Preyer described the feeling as being in limbo. "We (the women's athletic program) want to be able to give something to the University, but how we are going to do this is in limbo because we don't know what we want." Preyer said that she has "seen how involved the men's sports are, with recruiting and all, and it begins to look senseless to me." On the other hand, the women's athletic program "does not run as tight a ship as the men's, but we're not one track the sport first like the men. This gives me more freedom to participate in other parts of campus life, yet also takes away incentive to push (in athletics). If more was expected of us we would push more." Annmarie Wagstaff, senior volleyball player, wants the women's program to grow and improve "as fast as possible." But she is quick to caution against moving the women's program ahead without planning. "We've got to be really careful," she said, "because there's an awful lot of faults in the men's program. They've just gone too far." All the athletes interviewed believe that the UNC women's athletic program has improved drastically since it became part of the athletic department two years ago. But ;most said that they thought improvement should be carried farther. "As compared to my freshman year, things are great," said B. J. Woodard, co captain of the 1975 basketball team. But she is still not satisfied. "All the teams use the same warm-up suits," she said. I don't want to take away from the men, but the women deserve three uniforms and their own warm ups, too." Woodard said that she can't understand how small colleges can give women live or six scholarships, sometimes in just one sport alone, while a university the size of Carolina has only presented three scholarships to women. "1 think the athletic department is holding back," Woodard said. "I think a lot of (Athletic Director) Homer Rice. He's done a lot for the women's program.". "More money" is the cry heard most often from UNCs women athletes. Wagstaff cited better facilities. Woodard wants money for traveling and scholarships, to make Carolina teams competitive on the national level. All agreed that things are improving for the Tar Heel women's athletic program. "Not because anyone cares, but as tokens, said Preyer. "And even if that's the reason-good." Netters top Furman 8-1 Carolina's women netters upped their seasonal record to 4-1 with an 8-1 drubbing of Furman Friday afternoon. It was the 39th win in the last 32 matches for the Tar Heels. UNC dominated on every court but two, leading the overall game score 123-32. SHOW Ei SALE & !

The UNC Athletic Department, without telling Hogan, moved the bleachers to Kenan Stadium last Friday for today's game.

The Carolina-UNC-G match provided the most exciting action of the tri-match as UNC-G squeaked past the Tar Heels in the third game to garner the victory. In the first game, the lead changed hands several times before UNC snapped a 7-7 tie to pull away. A mobile offense, sparked by the strong serving of senior co-captain Patti Michaels and sophomore Ruth Heniska, keyed the Tar Heels' 15-10 win. However, the second game was quite different as UNC-G demonstrated why they were last year's state champions. UNC-G quickly pulled away to a 10-3 lead as the Tar Heel offense sputtered. UNC cut the margin to 13-9, but UNC-G won 15-10 to even the match at one game apiece. The Tar Heels took a 6-2 lead early in the 'third game before UNC-G shot to a 13-6 lead. Carolina closed the gap to 14-11 before tying the score at 14-14. UNC-G ended the Heels' comeback bid though by scoring the next two points for a 16-14 win. UNC Head Coach Beth Miller praised her team's affort and said that both teams were very equal in ability. "We gave 100 per cent out there tonight, and the match could have gone either way," said Miller. "You can't take anything away from UNC-G though. They're a great team, and they played very well tonight. However, 1 think whenever these two teams meet, it is a toss-up as to who will win because we are both so equal." Carolina won easily over Catawba in the second match w ith each player seeing action. UNC combined its offensive assault, led by the excellent serving of Michaels and junior Bonnie Little, with a stingy defense to win the first game 15-1. The Tar Heels rolled to a 15-6 victory in the second game to win the match. The victory raised Carolina's season record to 7-3. The Tar Heels travel to Winston-Salem Tuesday to face Wake Forest University and N.C. State. H paste Sat.
