Budget cuts leave Hot shot students stranded
University administrators eliminate sports studies program for Fall 1993
By Tracie Tso
Assistant Assignment Editor
The university's sports studies program will be eliminated this fall due to budgetary constraints, leaving stranded approximately 60 students who have yet to complete the program, which offers a minor in the field, said John Callaghan, program director.
"LAS has been going through severe budget difficulties," Callaghan said.
"I started (the program) three and a half years ago when the sports information major was phased out," he said. "I am saddened to see this program go."
Callaghan said there would be two to three sports studies courses offered during the upcoming summer session.
In addition, Callaghan said he will be working with students to fulfill the six-course requirement to complete the minor. He said students will be able to meet minor requirements by substitut-
ing other courses in fields such as history, journalism, exercise science and the study of women and men in society.
"It's my earnest hope I can get the very great majority of the students through," Callaghan said.
Oscar Alvarez, a junior majoring in business and minoring in sports studies, said he needs to take two more sports classes to complete his minor. He said it is not likely he will take the classes offered during the summer session because he wants to relax this summer or possibly get a job.
Alvarez said the sports studies market is growing, and he was hoping he could get an internship in the field by minoring in sports studies.
"There's opportunity waiting. It's such a high market. I'm feeling cheated now because of opportunity," he said.
"I just wish that I could get

Houses in the university Greek community are making various preparations for the upcoming verdict in the trial of the four officers accused of violating the civil rights of Rodney G. King.
At least eight fraternity and sorority houses have plans to evacuate their houses prior to the announcement of the verdict.
According to Alpha Phi President Brandi Galvin, that sorority house will be one of the seven.
"We're going to close (the sorority house) before the verdict comes out and decide from there. We're encouraged to leave by
our Advisory Council," Galvin said.
Dawn Christensen, president of Chi Omega sorority, had some reservations about an immediate evacuation.

"I would like to evacuate prior to the actual release of the verdict, but I'd like to avoid that if I could," she said.
Zeta Beta Tau fraternity members are also leaving the Los Angeles area.
"We're going to Tijuana. This time we're setting up cars and going to T.J.," said Jason Brady, the house president.
At least seven Greek houses, mostly fraternities, have plans to abide by all university decisions and to wait for university direction before making any moves.
When asked if he would favor pre-verdict evacuation, Scott Porter, president of Delta Chi, said, "I can't take any responsibility for that. It's up to the school to determine the policy."
But, Porter also acknowledged that most of the members of the Delta Chi fraternity would vacate the house one day early.
