"WE ARE NOT saying that sex equity shouldn't be part of the law," he said. "We are simply saying that the U.S. Department of Education should not be the principal department that enforces the law just because a dollar goes into a program. Sex education is the concern of civil rights legislation and is outside the government of Education."
Department of Law,
Lecar, senior program associate for the Protection of Equal Rights, said women were tranued in a "Catch-22" situation.
Opponents of the Equal Rights Amendment say women don't need the ERA because they have IA Laws that have their own Title. They have the said. But some people feel they can cut back the Title IX statute because
there is no constitutional prohibition of sex discrimination.
Although Richardson said Title IX was not supposed to serve as civil rights legislation, Lucar said the language of Title IX has been used in the same way the same as all other civil rights legislation.
"We hope to get the bill passed by Oct. 1," he said.
Richardson said efforts to get the Hatch bill passed would be stepped up in September, after President Reagan's economic packages had been acted upon.
Lecar said the National Coalition for Women and Girls in Education was gearing up to oppose the bill in an effort to ensure that the chances of the bill getting passed would be impossible.
Alumna leaves money
A $25,000 bequest from the estate of Vee Finn has established the Vee Finn Scholarship Fund at the Kansas University Endowment Association.

WITH FLLINN'S continued contributions to the loan fund, it grew to be one of the largest loan funds at KU. Last year, 215 student loans totaling more than $100,000 were awarded. After her death, the assets from a trust were added to the loan fund.
Filinn earned a bachelor of arts degree in 1913
and a Masters' degree in 1922. A mathematics
professor, he taught at Kansas City, Mo.
for 35 years, she retired in 1980.
"WE DO NOT believe she had a large inheritance," Larry J. Heeb, Endowment Association director of deferred giving, said. "We believe her frugal lifestyle, personal savings and wise investments made it possible for her to offer the assistance."
Any student is eligible to receive assistance from the loan or scholarship funds, Heeb said.
Flinn established both funds in memory of Jeffers and her parents. Jerry Finkhoff. Shoptown, and her parents. Jerry Finkhoff. Shoptown, and her parents.
Design students offer plan for KC area rejuvenation
By JULIA SANDERS Staff Reporter

Surrounded by maps and photographs, 13 University of Kansas architecture students presented their ideas for rejuvenating a city. City leaders for Housing Authority presenties last week.
The plans for rejuvenation were based on architectural and urban design studies conducted by the students during the summer session.
THE PLAN WAS developed by the fourth-year architecture class taught by Dennis Sander, associate professor of architecture and urban design, as a summer project and a public service to the Kansas City, Mo., Housing Authority.
According to Sander, the proposed plan recommends changes in four key areas to solve problems in the declining neighborhood just west of downtown Kansas City.
"Primarily, we accepted as a public service to the Housing Authority," Sander said. "It's something they've needed done for a long time because of their real estate needs for an expensive study by professionals."
The plan calls for beautification of the physical environment, providing residents with a place to shop, cutting down on city traffic and developing a better image of the neighborhood.
The neighborhood includes the Wayne Miner and T.B. Watkins government-subsidized housing projects and the area surrounding the projects. The housing projects were built in 1850 and 1860 for low- to middle-income families.
THE ENTIRE AREA suffers from deteriorating housing conditions, housing and land vacancies, abandoned buildings and high crime rates, Sander said.
In order to make the area more attractive, the plan recommends general street and sidewalk improvements with the use of fire hydrants, and upgrading present recreational areas.
Architectural reconstruction of the housing projects buildings are also recommended for beautifying the area.
The plan also calls for building reconstruction in order to accommodate commercial and office use.
Developing such uses would solve the high vacancy problem, and also bring in much-needed areas for residents to shop, Sander said.
Plan suggestions include development of a new commercial center, with hopes of attracting a major grocery chain. Most residents in the area do not own a car and must take buses in order to buy even a loaf of bread, Sander said.
"We're trying to get some commercial established in the area because there is simply no place to shop," he said. "We need neighborhoods with large areas that are close enough to walk to."
ANOTHER SUGGESTION the students made was a change in traffic circulation in order to cut down the number of cars coming under the bridge and make pedestrian traffic safer, Sanders said.
"We're suggesting street changes, some closings and a strengthening of few major arterial streets to carry most of the traffic on all streets," he said.
sander said that once the physical problems of the neighborhood were solved, the area would develop an image needed to attract people and stimulate growth.
"One of the problems they have is the lack of projects as a last-report living situation," he said.
"If we can change that perception, it will make it easier for people to live there.
"We've come up with some pretty good
things, but just the implementation that's
not automatic."
Implementation of any or all of the proposals cannot take place until a presentation is made to the Department of Development, Housing Authority, or other more housing Authority officials in Kansas City.
The presentation will probably be in mid August. Sander said.
