Title IX could be costly
By BARBARA JENSEN
Staff Reporter
A Department of Health, Education and Welfare interpretation of Title IX could cost the University of Kansas a "considerable investment" in the curriculum, director of athletics, said yesterday.
TITLE IX of the Education Amendment of 1972 states that equal athletic opportunities for members of both sexes must be provided at institutions receiving federal aid. An institution risks losing the aid if it does not comply.
KU sent a letter Friday to HEW
of the Court for interpretation of
their IX funding requirements.
Joseph Califano, secretary of HEW,
released a statement in December stating
how HEW would interpret the funding
requirements of Title IX.
"The PROBLEM with the interpretation is a matter of how many dollars and where it will come from," Marcum said. "The original requirement was 'reasonable opportunity' and now it would be 'equal per capita expenditure.'"
If $1,000 is spent for each male basketball player, $1,000 would have to be available to spend for each female basketball player," he said.
Mike Davis, University general counsel, said the HEW interpretation would require the same amount of money be spent on athletes in men's and women's sports.
The HEW interpretation states that a college or university has provided equal athletic opportunities if "substantially equal average per capita funds are allocated to participating male and female athletes for financial assistance awarded on
the basis of athletic ability, recruitment and all other readily financially measurable performance.
DAVIS said one problem with the interpretation was determining the number of pointers in each tree.
"If 200 people go out for football, a week later there are 170, 120 of which are on scholarship, but only 60 travel with them, many participants do we have?" Davis said.
Davis said the University had been satisfied with the "reasonable opportunity" guidelines and preferred that they not be changed.

"We don't like the interpretation and we really don't understand all of its implications. We need to have a certain flexibility. The current regulations offer opportunities for women comparable to opportunities for men and we've been able to cooperate with the regional office of the university."

Davis said KU had responded favorably to section B of the interpretation, which required that comparable benefits and costs be not financially measurable be offered.
Those include opportunities to compete and practice, and to receive coaching and academic tutoring. The benefits also include supervision, playing, medical and housing facilities.

Kilpatrick advocates anonymity
James J. Kilpatrick, commentator on the CBS program "60 Minutes," said Friday that newcasters should give up their celebrity status.
By GENE BROWNING
Staff Reporter
Kilpatrick was at the University of Kansas to receive the 1979 William Allen White Foundation Award for Journalistic Merit. He visited with KU journalism students Friday morning and spoke to more than 200 people at a luncheon.
"We of the press need to retreat from our status as pampered personalities and assume once again the anonymity of the copy paper and the copy pencils," he
The award was part of William Allen White Day, a celebration of the birthday of the late Pultzer Prize-winning editor of *The Times* and the School of Journalism is named after White.
KILPATRICK SAID the solution to the problem of celebrity newcasters was unclear.
"I helpless in the kind of situation I find myself in at the moment," he said. "I don't know how you can get away from making celebrities of people except by a conscious effort to extoll Walt Disney's Dr. Brinkham when they come to town.
"We are not to be celebrities and at the

same time I am trapped by having spent my whole life in the news business. And I know that Barbara Walters is news when she comes to a small community.
"BY BEING TOO aggressive, too pushy, too insistent upon the bellocce attitudes of an adversary press, we have presented to the world the image of the swagging bully who can lick any guy in the house," Kilpatrick said.
Another problem the press has recently encountered is an image of bullying to get the news, according to Kilpatrick.
He said that in recent years reporters had resorted to bullying when they could have used other options. He said the news media of the press was hurting journalism.
"The Gallipup people recently undertook a poll on how various institutions are regarded in terms of their honesty and ethical behavior," he said. "The press finished far down the list, just above the undertakers and the cops."

At the end of his speech, he was treated to a tape message from his "80 Minutes" counterpart, Shana Alexander.
Kilpatrick, who writes a column that appears in more than 400 dailies, is well-known for his conservative views on Point-Counterpaint on "60 Minutes."
Kulpatrick predicted that both former president Gerald Ford and Sen. Bob Dole, R-Kan., had slim chances as candidates for the 1980 presidential race.
chance for the nomination. He last ground in the last campaign rather than gained it," he said.
KILPATRICK SAID Ford was too wellliked to become president again.
"He's too nice of a guy. He doesn't have enough of those jugular instincts," Kibatrick said.
"I will be very surprised if Ford is a contender in New Hampshire.
"I don't think Bob Dole has much of a
'Jack, I am in complete agreement with the William Allen White trustees for selecting you for their William Allen Black Trust,' she said. 'We have a great tribute to your journalistic career.'
"But don't misunderstand me, Jack. I agree with the White trustees, but not necessarily with you."
"I am pleased to have the last word on your big day."
Kilpatrick was the 30th recipient of the award.
