A guy and his wife are going out to dinner and the wife uses an eye- brow pencil, works on some eye shadow, adds some eyeliner, curls her lashes, adds mascara, toner, blush and lipstick. The woman then turns to her husband and asks: "Honey, does this look natural?" BYLTa athletic director, Val Hale, has been looking at the Cougar athletic budget, and he's noticed some things that look natural like Cougar success really are the product of some good makeup. BYLTs athletic bills are not getting paid. And something has to give. BYLTs athletic programs ranked No. 18 in the Sears Cup standings in 2000, a service that monitors championship finishes and rankings. A recent survey of athletic department expenditures by SportsBusiness Journal had BYLTs budget at about $15 million. The ' next lowest Division I school on that Top 25 list spent a minimum of $25 million. Some spent more than $70 million. Even at a level, BYU has operated in the red since 1996, partially due to the expanded, $15-millio- T n mm lDDfg-MIiQ(- fll i ...

" Looks are deceiving. That's going to have to change," Hale told a group gathered at an Education Week class this week. proThe fans want a e e program. We want a gram," Hale said. "But if we're going to do it, we're going to have to ask fans to step up and pay for it. There are only so many revenue sources we can tap into right now. The TV source is tapped out. So is money from the conference coffers." So, how's it going to happen, Joe Q. Fan asks? First off, it would help immensely if BYU basketball started cramming bodies in the seats. The expense ratio of hoops compared to football is tremendous. Next, ticket prices for basketball and football, traditionally the lowest in the league, will climb. "We're going to ask more of our fans in years to come," Hale said. And there are other money trees BYU officials have left unharvested for years. We're one of the only major universities in the country that doesn't charge for parking," Hale said. "It may come to that." How about hauling in coolers Shasta pop, filled with homemade cookies, popcorn and sandwiches? There may come a time BYU officials will ban outside food from athletic events so concessions can produce more. And the proposed indoor practice facility? BYLTs officials are reluctant to d take plans for the facility to the Board of Trustees unless they have a significant chunk of money. Premium stadium seating may cost the "cadaver" section more shekels. Fans need to shell out more money for school fashion wear, a licensed avenue to recoup even more money. Plus, the Cougar Club needs a huge membership drive. The list goes on and on. BYU fans are used to enjoying a nice Caddy around town. It's snot a Mercedes by any means. But Yugo prices are not going to cut it in the next millennium. ' There'll be a tightening of the wallet, a bending of the bough.

This year, Florida State. ; Linebacker Paul Walkenhorst, from Lone Peak High, appears poised to make the biggest impact of any true freshman on this year's BYU football team. Walkenhorst, 245 pounds, has been seeing significant time at strong-sid- . linebacker e with the first-tea- m defense. That spot used to belong to junior Justin Ena, but he has moved to the middle. Officially, Walkenhorst is listed as a second teamer behind Jeff Holtry, who has been moved from the middle. But due to small I injuries to Holtry and Josh Lowe, Walkenhorst has spent much of with the first stringers. Holtry has returned now, but Walkenhorst has still seen some time with the first unit. His quick progress has surprised even him. I expected to give all I had, and maybe play some special teams, Walkenhorst said after Wednesday's practice. "Now I'm playing with the first and second team. I didn't expect this right away." Walkenhorst was the Region 6 MVP last year and a member of The Daily Herald Valley team. Still, all the high school accolades in the world can't prepare some to play the defending national champions. All-Uta- h "It's a big old step up," Walkenhorst said. "It's crazy, but I haven't thought about it too much. I just think about practice mostly. I'm sure I'll get more nervous as the days go by." Besides Walkenhorst, the only other true freshman who might contribute this year is Isiah Joiner. He has been playing as a second-teaThe other newcomers will either play special teams, redshirt or go on missions. Walkenhorst said he's been helped in the transition by BYLPs veteran linebacking corps. He already had a friend on the team before practice m for BYU.

Jack LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) Nicklaus was on the fourth hole when he got the grim news. He had been expecting it since Monday, when his mother told him she was ready to die after a lengthy illness. At the age of 90, Helen Nicklaus had one last wish that her death not interfere with a big moment in her son's career. Nicklaus said Wednesday he would respect his mother's desires and play in the PGA Championship, the final major in the final season he plans to play all four of golfs major tournaments. "Her greatest fear in the last year or so was that she would pass away during one of golfs major events," Nicklaus said "I know her wish would be for me to stay here and play. I certainly would not want to not fulfill her last wishes, so I have decided to remain here and play in the PGA that he planned to Championship." Nicklaus walked off the course Wednesday after being informed of his mother's death following a two-yeillness. He went into the clubhouse and received condolences, while trying to gather his VXI1UII1UUB, ar thoughts. Later, he skipped a previously scheduled press conference but sent word through Jim Awtrey, chief executive officer of the PGA of America, that he not only would play Thursday but would attend a PGA dinner Wednesday night to receive the organization's Distinguished Service Award. "That was her wish, for me to be here tonight and to stay and play here tomorrow," Nicklaus said. "It will be a big day for both of us. ... I'll have her in my thoughts.
