Unfair competition may end AIAW, official says
By EILEEN MARKEY Staff Reporter
The president of the Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women said yesterday that the organization would disband if it lost an antitrust suit pending in Washington, D.C. district court.
"There's no question in my mind that we'll fold if we lose the suit," Donna Lopiano, AIAW president, said. "It's simply a matter of money."
The AIAW fitted suit Oct. 9 against the National Collegiate Athletic Association, charging that the NCAA's tournaments for women were unfair competition and could damage the AIAW.
The NCAA will pay traveling expenses for participants in its women's national championships. The AIAW does not.
LOPIANO'S REMARKS came in the aftermath of an Oct. 22 decision by a Washington, D.C. district judge. The judge rejected the AIAW's request for a temporary injunction barring the national championships for women.
Instead, he told the NCAA and the AIAW that the case would be heard on its mertis within five months and an function would not be served, Lopiano said.
"We're scurrying around to get our case together," she said. "We were encouraged by the fact that the judge simply did not dismiss the case and reject the order. The fact that the case will be heard in full is good."
Rita Burke, director of the new NCAA women's championships, said she doubted that the AIAW case would be successful.
"I think their case is completely unfounded," she said. "The judge
didn't give them any encouragement.
The injunction wasn't served."
THE AIAW is an athletic organization that has had control of most women's sports national championships since 1971. Until last year, it coached its championships for women. KU was a member of the AIAW.
The pending lawsuit is a direct result of the NCAA's recent decision to fund women's national championships. At its core, the decision is decided to offer to pay participants' traveling expenses to its national championship meets for 12 women's sports. The AIAW does not pay players' fees to its national championship qualifiers.
"We're contending that they are using their finances from a successful men's program to support free college for women's athletics," Lopiano said.
The NCAA's new program has taken away members from the AIAW. Twenty-five percent of the organizations' division 1 schools have dropped their membership and 23 percent have said they would not participate in AIAW championships, but would continue membership.
"in terms of dues, it would help to have those members," Lopiano said. "Division I pays $700 yearly, division II pays $600 and division III pays $500."
Last year the University of Kansas Athletic Corporation decided that KU women would drop AIAW membership and participate in more competitive NCAA championships. The women still abide by AIAW rules.
If the AIAW loses its suit and disbands, KU women would immediately follow NCAA rules instead.
Marian Washington, KU, women's basketball coach, said the NCAA rules
would enable her to recruit more competitively.
because that NCAA would be paying for travel to championships," she said.
Howlett also said that the AIAW could probably keep its organization afloat with a limited membership because some schools would probably still want to participate in sports according to the AIAW philosophy.
Lopiano said that if the AIAW loses the suit, the remaining members would be called to a special convention and future vote to decide the organization's future.
"It would be a tremendous advantage for our program," she said. "I'd be able to travel more extensively and girls I could be able to come here to see our school."

'WHY DO THE HEATHEN RAGE?'
In Matthew 22:34-40 we read: "Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting Him, and saying, Master which is the great Commandment in The Law? Jesus said unto Him, Thou shalt love The Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great Commandment. And the second is like unto Thou, Shall trust with as thyself. On these two Commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
In The New Testament, 1st Corinthians 10th chapter, we are told that The Angel of the Lord with the Israelites was Christ, and it was He that delivered them out of Egypt, and went with them their forty years journey into The Land of Israel. His mission was to save the Israelites from the Abraham, "and His hatred of the wickedness and iniquity of the raging heathen that caused the plagues in Egypt, the drowning of Pharaoh's army in Egypt, and the killing of the Hebrew people, a whole generation of the Israelites that rebelled on account of unbelief.
Do you ask why He acted so differently in The New Testament? It was because in that 33-year period, He was on the earth as "The Lamb of God that taketh away the sins of the world!" How could He be the victim of that wrath, and why would He have been able to forgive His wrath and curse of God upon sin — "He was made sin, who knew no sin" — might fall upon Himself in order that He might declare to all men: "God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosover believe
He magnified and made honorable the Law, both The Great Commandments, by taking upon Himself the curse for sin. That is the meaning of The Cross! Does it mean anything more to you than a "trinket", BEWARE!

According to a 17th-century legend, Sir Hugo Baskerville, a "godless dorelrel," debased, profane, and violent, "was found dead on Dartmoor, his throat torn out by a huge, black beast. Since those days there has hardly been a Baskerville who has not met with a violent end, the most recent being Sir Charles. He too has been found dead, his face horribly contorted.
