Raise Tuition
"We think it is absurd to
keep raising the tuition," said
Mr. Sabato, who feels that the
Athletic Department should
re-arrange their priorities in
budgeting.
Lack of financing is
particularly hurting girls sports
clubs which are just in their
initial stages of formation.
Financial problems have
incurred not only because
Student Council does not have
enough funds for the club
sports, but because of the
discriminatory way they
distribute what money they do
have.
A few statistics may be
cited which clearly point out
the injustice done to girls
athletics. The girls tennis team
requested $468 from Council
and received a mere $174 to
cover all their expenses.
Contrastingly, the all-male
rugby club, in which several
Student Council members
participate, received $3900 of
the $4470 they requested from
Council allocations.
A milder contrast can be
seen in the girls' hockey team
which received $433 and the
boys' gymnastic team which
was allotted $1273.
Mr. Sabato commented, "I
agree that there has been some
discrimination in girls sports,
but this will be changing." But
if additional funds are not
made available to finance club
sports the girls sports program
will continue to lag behind.
