and women's scholarships comparable over a five-year period.
The fund provided $30,000 for scholarships in fiscal 1977, $45,000 in 1978 and $67,500 in 1980; the fund will provide an amount to the scholarship aid for men's non-revenue funds.
Improvements in support services included the hiring of a sports information director and increased travel money, Hogan no training table had yet been provided.
--women's coaches. The average salary is 12 times greater for men and the number of male coaches is two times greater than female coaches.
HOGAN SAID that in the area of facilities, lockers had been provided for women in Alla Field House and he was drafting a document containing guidelines for facility use.
Despite steps toward compliance that have been made in the women's athletic department the Title IX Compliance Review of 1977 still concluded that, in athletics at UCLA, students have substantial disparities between the budgets and facilities available to the two programs.[4]
A comparison of similar sports, according to the report, indicates that the number of participants in each sport is approximately equal. Because there are no comparable teams in football and women's volleyball and field hockey, they were excluded from the report.
Total salaries for men's team coaches is about 24 times greater than those for women.
THE SCHOLARSHIP fund for men is about 20 times greater than for women and the average cost allocated to recruit a male student than the cost allocated to recruit a female.
The table of cost comparisons indicates that the total cost allocations for men is 14 times greater than for women.
There are no allocations for medical costs or a scholarship office for the women's health.
The review also concluded that the training room cost for men is four times greater, the trainers' salaries about three times greater, tutoring costs for men are 10 times greater and the publicity cost for men is 3.3 times greater than it is for women.
Both the 1974 self-evaluation committee report and the 1977 compliance review compared the men's and women's athletic departments by subdividing the programs into revenue-producing, revenue potential and non-revenue sports.
REVENUE PRODUCING men's sports were defined in the report as football and basketball and were compared to the reports of women women's sports of basketball and volleyball.

Journalists win top honor
The William Randolph Hearst Foundation has awarded first place in its 18th annual journalism awards program to the William Allen White School of Journalism at KU.
KU placed first out of 68 journalism schools in the seven-month competition, organized by the Council for Journalism.
KU has placed first only one other time, in 1961. It is the only school in the history of the university without having any students in the final national write-off. The write-off is a competition for students who place first in a test, enabling them to win individual honors.
Although no KU students won first place honors, KU placed first because it accumulated the highest number of points.
Points are given to each school for every
number of points.
In a letter to Del Drinkman, dean of the School of Journalism, Amy Fink, director of the awards program, said, "It is most unusual that the winning school has no program." That just proves how consistently well your students have done in the monthly competition."
Brinkman said the award was quite an honor, and the school would receive a prize. Mr. Brinkman is a teacher.
"This is comparable to winning an NCAA Championship in basketball, or a bowl game in football or being ranked the top of the nation in a major sport," he said.

SHE SAID that Tile IX required equal benefits and that compliance would not be binding.
For example, she said, insurance for men's and women's programs might not cost the same, but the benefits would be the same.

Steve Leben, former student body president, said he thought someone would file a complaint with HEW charging him before HEW would initiate an investigation.
HE SAID that compliance standards seemed to depend on the attitude HEW would take and that they could act either to cut off funds or just to give warnings.
"My guess is that they will give warrings, he said. It doesn't seem possible that the enemy would be willing."
Polly said the problem for most administrations in dealing with Title IX was not that it was difficult to understand but that it was difficult to avoid.
"They are trying to decide what to get away with rather than how to comply," she said. "They're going to have to stop fooling around because the future is soon."
