University Dally Kansan
Athletic board overruled

The search for an assistant men's athletic director will continue, according to Del Shankel, executive vice chancellor, even though he will be violating affirmative action guidelines.
"The search will continue because the process is too far along to re-do it," Shankel said. "I'll talk to Charlie Oldfather (chairman of the women's athletic advisory board) soon, I don't have any other comment."
The women's adviser board requested last week that the search to replace Jerry Worrell be completed.
Waugh resigned March 15 as an assistant men's athletic director.
Elizabeth Banks, an advisory board member, had said the job description, did not state that the assistant director would work with women's athletics after a memorial of the men's and women's departments would discourage women from applying.
BANKS SAID YESTERDAY that a complaint could be filed against the University for not readvertising the position.
"The job description stated that applicants must be familiar with NCAA rules and that they must ride raft and put dhit't mention AIAW (Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women)," she said. "And there hasn't been a decision where women would join the NCAA after the merger."
Chancellor Archie R. Dykes is expected to announce a merger of the athletic departments within the next week. The merger would become effective July 1.
Banks and Anne Levinson, Winchester, Mass., junior, filed complaints last year with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services about discrimination between the men's and women's athletic programs in coaches, salaries, team cuts, facilities, training and supervision.
Banks said she received a letter yesterday from HEW stating that it would not rule on any complaints until an interpretation of Title IX had been finalized.
"THAT JUST LEAVES us in the situation that exists for another year," Banks said. "There's no immediate threat of HEW appearing on the scene."
Joseph Califano, secretary of HEW,
released a statement in December
describing how HEW would interpret the
funding requirements of Title IX, which
states that equal athletic opportunities for
members of both sexes must be provided.
The HEW interpretation states that a university has provided equal opportunity is "substantially equal average per capita of female athletes and female athletes for financial assistance awarded on the basis of athletic ability, recruitment and all other readily financible factors."
But universities and colleges said they could not fund athletics on an equal per capita basis.
THE BIG EIGHT athletic conference contributed at least $15,000 to oppose the interpretation. Schools are arguing that football should be exempted from the interpretation because it is the largest pre-production sport at most universities.
HEW will finalize the interpretation sometime next fall.
But Banks said she thought scholarships for women would have to be funded on an equal basis, regardless of the interpretation.
Dykes also has said that full scholarship would have to be provided for women attending

Under a five-year fund with the Williams Educational Fund, the women were to receive $100,000 in scholarship funds for 1978-80, and $150,000, the amount approximately equal to scholarships awarded to his non-revenue sports, the following year.
BUT THE UNIVERSITY of Kansas Athletic Corporation voted last week to increase the scholarship amount next year to $120,000.

However, if KU is to comply with TITLE IX, the women should receive $276,130 in scholarships, the full amount allowed under guidelines of the AIAW. The amount was figured for one-half of the scholarship for state tuition and the remaining institute.

Anti-nuke speaker gives warning
By RON BAIN Staff Reporter
Every nuclear power plant operating in the United States should be shut down immediately. Fred Halstead, an eyewitness to the Three Mile Island nuclear accident in Pennsylvania, told about 150 people in the Right Room of the Kansas Union last night.
Halstead, a former organizer of the movement against the Vietnam war, said he was lecturing in the East when the accident was announced. His interest in the anti-
nuclear energy movement took him to Harrisonburg, Pa. to see what was happening.
Hairstad said the United States could do without the 13 percent supply of electricity furnished by the nation's 71 functioning power plants. The power plants aren't working at full capacity, he said.
An anti-nuclear energy movement with the power to stop nuclear energy is beginning to grow in the United States and the world, he said.
"IT HAS to be a worldwide movement of

Everything inside the plant is now radioactive for hundreds or thousands of years. Halstead said, including the reactor building, the walls and floors of the reactor building.
ordinary people who say, 'We're not going to be the generation to leave this to the future,' Haaland said, indicating with a gesture that he would radiation produced by nuclear power plants.
If those pieces of the plant that are radioactive are not disposed of safely, then the radiation could harm future generations. he said.
"I am concerned with people who will live long after I am dead, yes—especially my grandfather."
"How can I be a mystic?" he asked. "I'm not even religious."
Halstead said he was once called a mystic by a supporter of nuclear power because he worried about people who would not be born for thousands of years.
The amounts of radiation leaked by the
Three Mile Island plant, which were called insignificant by Nuclear Regulatory Commission will increase the risk of leukemia and cancer in Pennsylvania, Halstead said.
"THERE IS no threshold of safety for radiation. All amounts of radiation are bad for you."
Radiation accumulates in the human body, Halstead said, and never goes away.
"It's like adding salt to your food. Pretty soon it gets reddy," he said.
People exposed to radiation released by the accident received an amount of radiation equivalent to a chest X-ray over 6 months, and were for the duration of the crisis, Halstead said.
Halstead's speech was sponsored by the Kansas Natural Guard, the Sunflower Alliance and the Young Socialist Alliance. Those groups will hold a rally against nuclear energy at 12:00 today in front of Watson Library.
