lipases J Oct. 4, 1983 Academic support program benefits athletes By Jack Bauagart Sporta editor Assuring the graduation of and pro¬ viding a sound academic program for the student-athlete is the main goal of CSUFs newly formed Academic Sup¬ port Program. The program is the brainchild of CSUF Athletic Director Jack Lengyel. who implemented a similar progran ing his the University of Missouri. "We hope to have everything op¬ erating by the end of this $emester,"said Lengyel. "If everything keeps going on line, it could only be a matter of weeks." Lengyel says that the program, which will be headed by Director of Academic Support Bob Knudsen, will concentrate on four areas of concern for the student- athlete: — Recruitment, counseling, and tut¬ oring for special needs of athletes. — A summer "bridge" program, which will provide orientation and focus on basic learning skills. — A mandatory study hall for freshmen, first-semester transfer students and those whose grade-point average drops below 2.00. — Tracking and monitoring the pro¬ gress of the student-athlete. The program held its first study table Tuesday in the new shower-locker room facility. Study table is scheduled from 7:30 pjn to 9:30 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday. Knudsen said 117 athletes attended the first session. The program came as the result of a_ spring report, which said that CSUF* athletes do worse academically as a whole than other students. This is a situation Lengyel was familiar with at Missouri, where three full-time and several part-time academic counselors for athletes were employed. "We had success with this kind of program at Missouri, and we plan for the same success here," Lengyel said. "We've taken .the policies and pro¬ cedures from the Missouri plan and begun to implement them here. The support for the program is definitely Knudsen estimated the program's cost at $80,000 for salaries and between S 15,000 and S25.000 for support. He said costs will be borne by Student Affairs, Academic Affairs and the ath¬ letic department. Finding out why student-athletes might have poorer academic performances — a fact which was disputed by many of the members on the program's selection committee — is one of the objectives of the program.
