the student* of CSUF and perhaps

The class has a reputation of a good,
hard workout with practical knowledge

enthusiastic teacher
The style that Creg Dow teaches is
Shotokan, a hard style of karate with a
combination of boxing and street-
fighting and tradition.

work out against men and are encouraged  to become  mor* assertive and

academic life.

Editorial
Sports are for students
It is shockiriR for a child to find out where babies come
from'when first told by his parents. Likewise, it is
shocking to find out that big-time athletics has taken
over as the* biggest concern among some officials here at
CSUF.
Athletic Director Russ Sloan has called for the elimination of five sports (rnen's and women's swimming,
water polo, gymnastics and badminton), saying that
unless these drastic measures are taken, the CSUF athletic department will face an incredible deficit
Sloan estimates the elimination of these five sports
will save CSUF about $80,000 a year, and that with a
$75,000 deficit facing CSUF this year, there is no other
answer.
There are approximately 100 athletes involved in the
five sports headed for the chopping block, and if Sloan's
recommended cutbacks are approved, these athletes
will have to either transfer to another school or stay at
CSUF and not play sports.
Sloan has refused to recommend across-the-board
cuts, arguing that football, basketball and baseball are
on the verge of national recognition and that across-
the-board cuts would damage those aspirations.
Sloan's is not the only "big-time" attitude towards
the athletic programs at CSUF. Executive vice-president
Bill Holmes has also stated that he will not accept across-
the-board cuts that would touch football or basketball.   ■
The community wants a big-name team and a winning
program, but it seems that no one, especially the athletic department, has taken the time to consult the students ' wishes as to having a big-time football and basketball team or a well-rounded athletic program.
We have hot seen any petitions being circulated around
campus that stated the students wanted a big-time
football team at the expense of other sports.
The Athletic Advisory, Athletic Commission and the
Athletic Department should listen to what the students
want, not what they think the community wants. After
all, athletics are supposed to be for the benefit of the
students, aren't they?
