told us we should go in September
because the board originally had not
planned to meet, so we would've had to

"I was asked last week by students in a
class why the students voted against
this, yet the project went ahead. Wait a
minute, students voted for it in November
of 1979 and the vote was 51 percent
for it and 49 percent against. The ASUI
then voted 6-5 for it. So there is this
misconception. I'm sorry it's so controversial.
I'm sorry that many got the
impression we did it deliberately when
students were gone.
"It's behind us, I just wish someone

"Most people don't object to a strong
athletic program, but they do object if
you don't have anything to show them.
We have a fine basketball program for
men, and it looks like an increasingly
good football program. We also have exciting
women's basketball and
volleyball programs, and they aren't getting
as much publicity as they ought to.
"It isn't a matter of choosing between
athletics and academics, they will com~
plement each other. But if we ever
choose between one or the other that's
easy - it's academics of course. 0
