Here the food, I service and atmosphere are toifhout (CPS)— Physical education is one of the discriminatory areas in the American educational system, testified Billy Jean King recently before a US Senate Committee. I rging support of the educational equity act introduced by Senator Walter F. Mondale CD- Minn.), the tennis star asked why women's sport programs in public schools receive only one per cent of what men's programs receive andproposed enforcement of total athletic e- quality for women. In schools and colleges across the nation women have begun to demand their rights as athletes. Charges of discrimination in funding, training facilities, coaching, opportunities for participation, scholarships and publicity have surfaced in law suits involving Little Leagues, high schools and universitites. Guidelines for eliminating sex discrimination in education programs and activities under review by the Office of Civil Rights include extensive rules regulating all competitive athletics operated by universities. The planned guidelines need the Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare (HF.W'O, Caspar W. Weinberger's signature to be adopted as an addition to Title IX of the Educational A- mendments of 1972, which prohibits sex discrimination in educational institutions receiving federal funding.

"No person shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, be treated differently from another person, or otherwise bediscriminatedagainst in athletic program or activity," the guideline report states. The report also suggests affirmation efforts to correct inequalities where competitive athletic opportunities had previously been limited. Institutions would be required to determine in what sports the formerly excluded sex desired to compete and whether or not in teams separated on the basis of sex. Upon adoption of the guidelines discrimination in the provision of equipment or supplies, scheduling of games and practice times, travel and per diem allowances, awarding of athletic scholarships, opportunity to receive coaching and instruction, provision of locker room and medical facilities, and publicity would be prohibited. Separate teams for each sex or a single team for which members are selected without discrimination on the basis of sex would both be acceptable under the guidelines. However if single teams are established and there arc substantially more members of one sex, comparable opportunities to participate in the same sport or other sports would be required. Women have not waited for the guidelines' implementation to begin legalactionsprotesting discrimination in athletic programs. A complaint charging 'gross discrimination in athletics a- gainst women at the University of Michigan" was filed under Title IX last fall by a group of student alumni and taxpayers from Ann Arbor. The 58-page complaint indicated the university spent in excess of S2 million on men's intercollegiate athletics in 1972 and nothing on intercollegiate athletics for women. rtfr Canterbury inn 4:00-9:00 Every Wednesday Night is International night I k MEAL FROM A DIFFERENT COUNTRY EACH WEEK I The text of the complaint advocated a "components" approach to athletics, whereby in sports which women and men both regularly participate (such as gymnastics, swimming, track, volleyball, tennis, golf, and basketball) the team representing the school would consist of a predominantly male component and a primarily female component. In addtion the complaint asked HEW to assess to what degree athletic scholarships and recruitment should be continued in a public university for either males or females. A letter accompanying the complaint noted that despite numerous appeals to review sex- discrimination at the University "the most blatant area of extraordinary sex discrimination - athletics - remains unchallenged. While HEW action on the University of Michigan complaint is still pending other decisions have evidenced strong support for equity in athletic programs. In New Jersey the State Division on Civil Rights found probable cause (discrimination) in a case brought for girls barred from the all-boy Little League teams and subsequent lawsuits led many schools to accept girls on boys' teams, especially in noncontact sports. In Morris v. Michigan High School Athletic Association, the IS Court of Appeals ruled that girls may not be prevented from participation in inter- scholastic noncontact sports. New Y'ork, New Jersey, Indiana, Minnesota, Nebraska and New Mexico recently integrated noncontact sports in high schools as a result of litigation by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). Court rulings that outstanding female athletes should receive opportunities for training and competition at their ability levels, have also been made in Oklahoma and Louisiana. At issue on the college and university level arc the large discrepencies in funding, facilities and training available to men and women. University of Illinois women have organized a group called "Concerned Women Athletes" to combat unequal funding. The men's intercollegiate sports program at Illinois is supported by $2.4 million a year while the women's program receives a S4500 state appropriation. Concerned Women Athletes intend to file suit under Title IX, but the University maintains the men's programs arc sponsored by the University Athletic Association from gate receipts, donations and memberships separate from the school's normal finances and that in fact, women receive $4500 more than men in official funding. At Kent State University in Ohio, despite an increased allotment of $12 thousand to women's intercollegiate sports (compared with over $1 million to the men's program) the CONTINUED Page 8 ....
