Jj:; The intramural budget will come
A; before the Board of Directors in its
•:|i April-May meetings, but first must
>•: pass through several offices.
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-

Women cagers
state champs?
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.

“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
