Dennis Corrington, director of :j:j intramurals, is sure some cutting :£ will be done on the budget but says, :J:| “The budget isn’t padded.” The budget after passing commit- tee must be recommended by the g: Student Senate and go though the :jj: office of the Vice President for Stu- :•;! dent Services, Dr. John J. Koldus III. Dr. Koldus has not reviewed the budget completely when inter- i:*: viewed but said, “I definitely sup- •£ port a larger figure over last year. Asked if he thought A&M should be on a par with other schools, Koldus said, “You can’t measure things that parative figures when the programs differ. But if you’re going to have a first rate school, then you ought to have first rate programs, including intramurals.” The budget must then pass through the office of the vice presi dent for Business Affairs, Tom D. Cherry. Cherry was not available for comment. From there it goes to President Dr. Jack K. Williams for any changes and on to the Board of Di rectors. Corrington said that apparently the program has been behind other state supported schools all along. When he first arrived for the 72-73 year the intramural budget was about $35,000 while it was around $350,000 at the University of Texas. A reason for such a large increase so quick is “we re getting into prog ram areas we hadn’t gotten into be fore. As far as professional staff is concerned we ll still be behind but I don’t feel we ll be understaffed,” said Corrington. Corrington said, “We re in real bad need of a vehicle. A utility vehi cle with a trailer was the best idea. And our marking machine is falling apart. We need a lawn mower to do the trimming work. “Most of the equipment we re quested is replacement. We re try ing to anticipate next year. A lot of this we may get more than a year’s use out of, but we need them now. “There is a lot of room for im provement with officials. Some of the other schools are paying highly for outside officials. But I feel we can train students as well as those wa y- It s pretty hard to use com- TOM’S LEVI’S New shipment of Gal’s shirts with the same Levi Quality which you find in their new line of pants.

By MIKE BRUTON Sports Editor If you approached an A&M stu dent 10 years ago and said that 6,500 people would watch the Texas A&M women’s basketball team play in G. Rollie White in a decade, they would have had you taken away in a strait jacket. But as time passes things change and 6,500 fans who came early for the Tech basketball game Tuesday night got a chance to see one of the best female roundball teams in the state. The girls shoot well, play good defense, execute sure passes; even fast breaks and hustle with great enthusiasm. They are 15-5 for the season aver aging about 70 points a game and most surpris ing of all, only in their second year. The coach, Kay Don has done a tremendous job of selecting and coordinating a fundamentally sound team. She has coached the team from a 7-10 season last year to pos sible state or maybe, regional crown contenders for this season. “There has been a definite improvement, Don said of her team. That’s saying a lot, because wo men’s basketball has in recent years grown more competitive with the coed programs at universities re ceiving better funding and qual ity athletes. "It’s a very definite trend upward in women’s basket ball,” Don said. The women’s sports programs will even improve more when scholarships become avail able for female athletes. When will scholarships become available? “Within a two-year peri od we should have a few,” said Don of the A&M coed program. The way our women have repre sented us this year they deserve consideration in that area. The A&M women’s team is very balanced with four of the five start ers averaging ten points or more. Karen Aulenbacher is the leading scorer averaging 15.0 points a game, followed by Cissy Auclair with a 14.0 point norm, Sally Mor- risse with a 13.0 point average, Diane Quitta with a 10.0 point average and Laura Holmes hitting eight points per contest. T feel that we have a well-rounded team," Don added. “Everyone has contri buted. The women have a good chance to win the state championship with strong resistance coming from Baylor, who are 3-3 on the year with the Aggies, Stephen F. Aus tin and Wayland Baptist College both which are considered tops in the state. If they continue to play well, they might even qualify for nationals by finishing first or second in the Southwest Regional Women’s Basketball Tournament. The reg ional tourney will feature the fol lowing teams: Oklahoma St., Univ. of Oklahoma, Northwestern, SWTSU, Texas, Univ. of Arkansas at Montecello, Texas A&I, TWU, Lamar, NTSU, Wayland Baptist, Northeast Louisiana, Prairie View and SFA. Coach Don and her players de serve more recognition and I hope that they get more in the future. They’ve convinced me that they can put a good game on the court. My hat’s off to the five starters and Cindy Horton, Ruth Whiteley, Dana Callaway and Lucy Neiman. I sincerely hope that the next time they are watched by 6,500 fans that it will be because the people came out to see them rather being early for a men’s game. Golfers only three steps behind UH Coach Bob Ellis’ golf team made a superb showing in the first day of competition in the prestigious Bor der Olympics Golf tourney on Thursday. The Ags shot a torrid 292 in the first round to finish the day in second place three strokes behind Houston at 289. Steve Whiteside led the Ags with a two under par 70 followed by Monte Schauer at 72, Bobby Baker at 74 and Ed Pennington at 76. Clay Dozier at 78 and Tom Sutter at 80 cleaned up for the Ags. The Ags begin round two of com petition today and continue through Saturday.

We can pay two officials to do the job that one does at another school,’’ said Corrington. “Our biggest stepping stone right now is whether we go from $ 19 to $X in student service fees, and the ex tent to which the budgets and 4 fees jibe.” They will either cutsomt budgets or raise the studentservis fees. “Right now the studentsw getting a lot for their $19,” saidCoi rington.
