This exemption of revenue-
Iproducing sports is one of the major
sources of debate over the proposed
[guidleines.
Many universities argue that be
cause football, and at some schools
basketball, gate receipts are the ma
jor or only source of funds for the
entire athletic program, those funds
bhould be excluded in the per capita
Calculations.
But under the proposed guide
lines, all funds spents on benefits for
pither sex are considered. Sources of
unds include gate receipts, student
|ees, donations and booster club
unds.
Under the old regulations, if a uni-
Lersity had 300 male athletes in the
intercollegiates program and the
amount of readily financial benefits
Tor the men’s program is $300,000,
the per capita amount spent on each
[nan would be $1,000. That universi-
would then be required to spend
$1,000 for each athlete in the
women’s program.
The University of Georgia had
faken the position that HEW is with
out authority under Title IX to issue
regulations governing their athletic
program which recieves no federal
unds.
In comments about the proposed
uidelines. University President
Fred Davison said that the very ex
istence of revenue producing sports
[jeopardized by the proposed reg-
iiiatory scheme.
Additional expenditires of over
11 1 million would be required to
pring the university into compliance
vith the order if the old guidelines
A'ere adopted.
‘The unavoidable outcome of such
i requirement,’ Davison said, “will
6e the destruction of the university’s
|ole revenue producing sport; a re
sult that will operate to the detri-
pient of all the athletic programs for
nen and women.”
Georgia had advocated the adop-
|ion of an approach which would per
mit revenue-producing sports to re
lain funds necessary for maintaining
|he current level of competion.
Remaining funds would then be
• •
divided between men and women on
an annual average per capita basis.
Davison also pointed out that even
though under existing guidelines the
University of Georgia is operating a
“discriminator)” program, the
budget for the women’s athletic
program has increased from $15,000
in 1973 to $205,000 in 1979.
HEW General Council Peter
Libassi had rendered an opinion on
the question of HEW’s authority
under Title IX to regualte a federal
ly-funded institutions athletic
program.
The Libassi opinion concluded
universities must comply based on
two concepts; “the institutional
approach” and the “infection
theory.”
Under the institutional approach,
revenue producing sports can not be
exempt from regulation. Athletics
are part of the institutions education
program and those institutions re-
cieve or benefit form federal funds.
Therefore, Libassi said, athletics are
to be regulated because in HEW’s
opinion it is enough for the instituion
sponsoring the program to recieve
funds.
The infection theory holds that
athletics are “so closely related to
and such an integral part of a prog
ram or activity that does receive fed
eral assistance that the administra
tion of the discriminatory program
would infect the non-discriminatory
programs.”
In a statement supporting the
Libassi opinion and HEW’s position
towards discrimination in athletics,
former Secretary of HEW Joseph
Califano had this to say:
“Anyone who doubts the import
ance of equal athletic opportunity for
women need only remember those
things that we have all heard
throughout our lives about participa
tion in sports: that athletics teach
both teamwork and leadership, that
athletics create pride in accomplish
ment, that athletics teach sport
smanship — how to win and how to
lose.
“Does anyone think for a moment
that those benefits apply only to
men?”

grow up
By ANGELIQUE COPELAND

Women’s athletics at Texas
A&M University have gone from
a club sport status with an all
volunteer coaching staff, to an
eight-sport intercollegiate prog
ram with a budget of $575,000
this year.
For the first two years after it
began in 1972, the women’s prog
ram operated with no budget as
part of the Department of Health
and Physical Education. It was
supported through small alloca
tions and donations from student
and alumni groups.
The coaching staff was made up
entirely of volunteers, with many
of them graduate students or
members of the HPE staff. Kay
Don, who is now assistant athletic
director for women, coached
both the basketball and softball
teams.
The women’s program was
added to the Athletic Depart
ment in 1974 and given a budget
of $40,000. Don was made assis
tant director in June 1975.
Today there are head coaches
for each of the eight intercollegi
ate sports. Don said that five
years from now she expected to
have assistants for each head
coach to help with recruiting.
The women’s program has also
increased the number and size of
scholarships offered.
“Four years ago we had money
for one or two full scholarships at
the most,” Don said. The mini
mum scholarship offered was $50
a semester.
Today scholarships start at
$500 a semester allowing at least a
half-scholarship for the athlete.
Looking to the future, Don
said, “We will get better and bet
ter athletes over a two to three-
year period before it starts level
ing off.”

icipled o

ault of branch conflicts — economist
Fed’s fiscal policies feed inflation
Efforts by the federal reserve to
slow inflation are being thwarted by
several conflicting fiscal policies in
stituted by other branches of the fed
eral government, according to Dr.
Arthur L. Wright, research econom
ist with the Texas Real Estate Re
search Center at Texas A&M Uni
versity.
“The differing policies are due to
the different objectives of the leader
ship groups,” Wright said. “The
primary objective of the federal re
serve is to regulate monetary and
credit conditions in the nation while
the legislature and executive bran
ches are more concerned with the
implementation and public accept
ance of various social and political
programs.”
Wright said this contradictory
policy-making is the main reason in
flation remains high. Wright and
other economists expect a tight
money policy to check inflation
slightly in the first quarter of 1980.
“We are predicting inflation in
Texas will probably settle at around
11 percent in the first two quarters,
which is about what the rest of the
country should experience, ” he said.
Short and long-term interest rates
will probably peak by February,
with short-term rates declining sev
eral percentage points below 11 per
cent. Currently, the limited supply
of mortgage funds and the high in
terest rates are slowing real estate
activity in Texas.
“The builders who are able to con
tinue to start new homes are mainly
those working with funds committed
prior to the latest rate hikes by len
ders,” added the economist. “When
these funds are exhausted in early
1980, the Texas real estate industry
could experience a severe slow
down. This slowdown could contri
bute to an already existing housing
shortage in some parts of the state. ”

CARLISLE. Pa. — Farmer
Robert L, Bear Tuesday was found
innocent of charges he abducted his
wife who had shunned him for seven
years.
Ajury in Gumberland County, the
heart of America’s Amish and Men-
nonite communities, rejected
charges against Bear of unlawful re
straint and assault that carried max
imum penalites of four years in
prison.
Bear admitted accosting his wife
Gail, 41, at a farmers market Aug. 31
after she and their children had re
fused to acknowledge his existence
for seven years.
He being tried on charges of
assault and false imprisonment of his
wife, said his banishment from the
Reformed Mennonite Church had
been a “living hell.
Bear told the jury he would not
recant the criticism of the 400-year-
old church which led to his excom
munication in June 1972.
“I don’t have any trouble acknow
ledging the devil is in me some
times,” Bear said. “I am not the least
bit appalled.
“The reason I did that is there
seems to be no solution for the vic
tims of shunning,” Bear said.
Bear said the church tried to use
his family’s shunning in an attempt
to draw him back.
