Title IX...
From page one
University officials said football was unique to men's athletics and a major revenue source.
Joyce called the interpretation "economically asinine" and said it was ambiguous and could be interpreted in several ways.
"I THINK whatever resources a university has to spend on athletics should be spent proportionately on men's and women's programs." Joyce said.
"But if $1.8 million is spent on a football program, that doesn't mean that the university has spent much on the program in fact." In another line, "hawin[in that$1.8million], he said."
Joyce said if an athletic corporation made profits from revenue-producing sports, the profits should be spent proportionately on women's programs, based on participation.
Bonnie Slatten, executive director of the Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women in Washington, D.C., said she and her team had been contributed to the organization.
"IT'S MY understanding that letters not been sent to universities asking for $1,000 donations," she said. "I haven't been able to see a copy of the letter, but I hear that it is addressed to 'concerned people for whom I would surely draw money from alumni.'"
Joyce said he did not know how much money had been contributed to the
organization, but that it was "much, much less" than $300,000.
Slatten told the AIAW had a 29-page comment to HEW about the Title IX interpretation. She said the comment supports HEW's requirements, the requirements and the inclusion of football.
"I realize that football is unique to men's athletics, and it may seem necessary to protect it. But if it is semi-professional, then I have problems with it."
"BY ISOLATING football and basketball because they are revenue-producing, does that mean we should exempt them from the educational system?" she said.
But Charles M. Neinas, commissioner of the Big Eight, recently said that he questioned the legality of the interpretation because some universities did not use federal money to support athletic departments.
Marian Washington, director of women's athletics at KU, said last night that although football was a major revenue-producing sport in the nation, it comes from federal educational guidelines.
"I think some groups, including the Big Eight, believe there should be some adjustments in the interpretation." Neinas said. "Football is unique at many schools and I don't think it should be included in per canita funding."
Neinas would not say exactly how much money the Big Eight had contributed to the economy. In 2014, they said.

The two nominees to the Kansas Board of Regents said yesterday that they supported the right of universities to sponsor controversial speakers or exhibits.
The two nominees, Sandra McMullen of Hutchinson and Margaret Glades of Yates Center, appeared yesterday before the State Select Committee on Appointments.
Nominees favor university rights
The committee, which makes recommendations on appointments to state agencies, is expected to vote on the two nominees this week.
Both normites said they would have supported the right of the staff of the Kenneth Spencer Research Library at the University to show an exhibit that was canceled last April.
The exhibit, a collection of Nazi memorabilia, was canceled by the KU administration a few hours before it was scheduled to open. Administrators said the exhibit was postponed because it coincided with the anniversary of Adolf Hitler's birthday, Passover and the presentation of the television show "Holocaust," which depicted the Nazi persecution of Jews during World War II.
After the hearing, McMullen said, "I don't know if the Board of Regimens would be in a position to ask the exhibitists exhibits. But I personally think that the more exposure you have to all kinds of things, the better chance you have to learn about the Nazis, or whatever the exhibit is about."
Glades also told the committee she did not think the Regents universities should be responsible for providing the same amount of money for men's and women's sports.
MCMULLEN SAID she thought more of the Regents schools' budgets should be spent on salaries. She said the faculty should receive a 7 percent raise.
"THEIR'S BEEN a lot of talk about equal money between men's and women's
"I think too much money has been spent on athletics rather than higher education.
Glades said, "I believe I would have voted to continue the exhibit."
However, Title IX of the Education Amendment of 1972 states that equal athletic opportunities for members of both school sports teams are received federal aid. An institution may lose its aid if it does not comply with the laws. All Regents schools receive federal aid.
Gov. John Carlin and KU also have supported a 7 percent increase in faculty salary.
STATE SEN. John Simpson, R-Salina,
asked Glades, "If people had come to you
and said, 'We want you to stop that Nazi
thing,' what would you have done?"
McMullen said she did not think university professors should unionize.
"I'm afraid it takes away from you
my time and said. But thank me
should pay professors a fee."
Both Glades and McMullen said they regents schools emphasized the importance of being active.
In other business, the committee voted to recommend Barbara Sabel of Lawrence to serve as treasurer.
Glades, who graduated from Wichita State University, said she did not think Carlin had appointed her as a representative of WSU.
A BILL IN THE Senate would require that at least one graduate or former student from each of the seven Regents schools be appointed to the board.
approved a 6 percent raise in the 1980 budget.
"Each university should be considered for what it needs," Glades said. "I wouldn't vote for a WSU proposal just because I went there."
sports," Glades said. "I can't see that. The universities should wait a few years until the women have the same amount of experience with sports as men."

People stop to stare as he walks along the sidewalk. His long gray beard and shoulder-length hair are his most obvious eccentricities.
At age 62, he said, he plans to continue his work.
Igal Rodenko describes himself as a radical. Since age 26, he has been active in civil rights movements and in protests against nuclear weapons and nuclear power.
He told the Kansans for Radioactive-free Kansas yesterday that the anti-nuclear movement was "alive and well" and that the power industry was on the defensive.
Roodenko visited the University of Kansas yesterday and will remain today, speaking to classes and giving advice to such groups as the Kansans for Radioactive-free Kansas and the anti-apartheid KU Committee on South Africa.
At a meeting of the KU Committee on South Africa, he suggested that members

attitude that there were only 20 eagles, and that the eagles could go someplace else.
Eagles ...
Lecompton was originally named Bald Eagle, and early settlers of the town reported seeing eagles' nests, Levenson said.
Records of the bald eagles before last winter are sketchy, Levenson said. But eagles have reportedly been much more numerous in the past.
Preston said that the area was the only documented site of eagle nesting in Kansas.
The Fish and Wildlife Service could be the agency to insure that the bald eagles will not be lost.
But Preston said that the federal agency would be satisfied if the state, the county or the town of Lecompton first established a wildlife sanctuary for the bald eagles.

62, keeps issues alive
Officer's off-duty incident to end with a reprimand
driven by Thomas J. Flanagan Jr., McLouth graduate student, was allegedly forced on the road by a man who identified himself to Flanagan as a KU parking officer.
Flanagan earlier alleged that as he approached the officer, Lee Johnston, the officer drew his service revolver and told him, "It's best you just forget about this."
A KU Parking Services officer will be verbally reprimanded after a review of a traffic incident is completed, Mike Thomas, director of the KU Police Department, said yesterday. The officer, who was driving a personal car, allegedly pulled a gun on a KU student after stopping the student near 15th and Kasold streets.
"The review will end up with a verbal reprimand for the officer," Thomas said. The reprimand is not on the issue of pulling a vehicle, but using it as a private car to make a traffic stop."
The incident occurred Feb. 17 when a car
