The Urfiversity of Georgia




REASON: After researching several aspects involved with the implementation
 of a Varsity Soccer Program including a number of universities
 with soccer programs, financial feasibility, and the University Club
 Team, it has been shown that the majority of students favor a
 Varsity Soccer Program. The Southeastern Conference will not
 recognize soccer as a varsity sport until the University does. The
 University will not acknowledge it as a varsity sport until the
 attention be made that there is a demand for the sport. Some
 opponents of the program are convinced that there is not enough
 public support for a soccer program.
 If the Student Government Association conducted a survey regarding
 this facet of the athletic community, we would be able to
 illustrate the most basic interests from the students. As of right now,
 the University administration. has--'n~on to acknowledge the
 Student Government Association's claims that a Varsity Soccer
 Program would be beneficial. A survey of the students would provide
 ample reason for the administration and faculty to listen to the
 student voice.
