The Davis Board of Education voted Tuesday night to include the two programs to bring women's athletics in line with men's programs, in compliance with the federal Title 9 laws, which mandate equality between the sexes. Because of a recent realignment of the regions, Davis County high schools also faced forfeitures and possible fines by not being able to compete with schools having the programs.

And, because many feel there are already too many extracurricular activities in place. Board Member Dan Eastman met with representatives of other districts through the Utah High Schools Activities Association to encourage eliminating some sports for the sake of finances. He found little support. "The consensus of most schools was that they favor continuing the athletic programs. There's little desire to cut back," he said. The Weber School District was among the few desiring a cutback. He said most of the people at the USDAA meeting felt good about Baileys CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 slowed down just to make sure I really saw what I thought I had seen. Im no prude, but I was kind of offended by it. he said. Store management was also appalled and shut down the sign once they became aware of the message. Dave Bailey, an outside sales . athletics at the high school level. Although a supporter of athletics, Davis Education Association President Vik Arnold, reminded the board of a recent meeting where they discussed the problems of funding even basic programs. "In this year, when we're still some ways away from solving the issue...It's time to look at the extra programs and send the message it's time to cut back." Board President Louenda Dow ns was also concerned about the increased number of coaches that would be needed. She said in some schools there arc too few coaches now. The addition of two more programs could mean teachers would be pressed into coaching when they didn't want to serve. Downs asked about cutting back on the mens programs and was told the savings would be minimal because the men's programs already had the equipment and uniforms. More importantly, said Craig Hansen, physical educationhealth supervisor for the district, by initiating women's programs "We'll save the district from a million to a million and a half-dolllawsuit. That's our primary concern." Eastman agreed saying in todays world it's important to balance programs. If the districts want to cut activities it should look at cutting both men's and women's programs. Board member Dixie Hill said she could sympathize with both sides. Board Member Barbara Smith said her frustration is that she feels the Davis District is being pushed by the decisions of other districts. ar representative, said the unfortunate incident apparently stemmed from a dispute Wednesday between Jay Bailey, who owns the building, and a member of his family. In a fit of pique, the disgruntled family member put the message on the sign where it could do the most damage. The scary thing is that it was on right during drive time when thousands of people can see it, Bailey added. Hopefully, only a few of them will remember it.
