Will athletics survive?

A lack of funds, recognition and respect is beginning to frustrate many of the women athletes here at LM. according to Dr Phyllis Kranklin. English professor and co-chairwoman of the Student Welfare Committee of the Women's Commission.
Among the many problems encountered by women athletes on campus, as cited by Kranklin. is the treatment thev receive. In one case, the women's varsity tennis leant had a match. They were scheduled to play on the courts facing the bleachers so that they would be able to charge admission. According to Kranklin and Isabella Hutchinson, director of womep s sports, the men’s tennis team needed the court for practice and kicked them Off. The women's team was then forced to compete on the back courts facing away from the bleachers and unable to play before an audience.
This is one of many complaints voiced by the Women's Commission. "Women athletes on this campus just aren’t getting a fair shake,” Kranklin said. "Kor example, they have very little funding for travel. Therefore, they play few away games against nationally recognized teams and. ultimately, don't get a chance to become champions."
Title IX of the Education Act of 1972 provides that "no person for the reason of sex shall be excluded from participation in. or be denied the benefits of. or be subject to discrimination under any educational or extracurricular program receiving federal financial assistance."
"Understand," Kranklin xjid. ' that we are
not trying to take anything away Irom the men's program: in fact, there is a law providing that we can t, and it states quite clearly that no money can be taken from one established program and put toward another We do not expect to match funds, just provide those that are necessary. It is a question of attitudes"
Kranklin cited page 10 of the University Self/Study of 1976. Section O. which states about Title IX. “Comments thus far have ranged from gleeful approval by women's liberation types, to approval less vociferous. "
“I can't believe that." Kranklin said. “What do you suppose they mean by 'Women’s Liberation types'?"
Financially. ilws biggest problem laced by women is fund raising. The men's program has alumni donations, they do not. Another problem is that men's sports usually uses up most of the nearby sources for funding: by the time women get there, the source is dry.
According to Hutchinson, “football is number one in funding."
“I don't want to take anything away from the men in finances, but I do believe that there should be one fund-raiser channeled into both, instead of two separate federations." Hutchinson said.
Both Hutchinson and Kranklin strongly believe that lack of funding has hurt the team in coaching, one of the most serious aspects of sports besides actual competition Most of the women’s coaches are part time and have a very high turn-over rate.
"The result being that a lack ol consistent coaching is a great detriment to their playing
ability. The girls don't get the chance to develop to their full potential as athletes." Kranklin said.
Hutchinson added that hurts the morale of athletes
this aspe« I also
"On any team, the coach plays just as important a role off the field as on Players nei-d the coach as a friend and a personal advisor as well, to talk about grades and other personal problems. The girls suffer without tflis." she said.
“We are w ithin our rights to ask for these changes." Franklin said, "hut apparently, if you ask for your rights, you are a 'women's liberation type ”'	-
According to the Women's Commission, these changes must come about soon. And according to federal law. Title IX must go into effect at full compliance by July 21 of this year.
According to Kranklin. President Henry King Stanford has been "cerv supportive.” However, both Franklin and Hutchinson believe that the Board of Trustees has been slow in their actions.
“1 haven't seen any trustees watch a basketball game while sitting on the floor, as many parents have had to because there are no seating facilities in the gym.” said Hutchinson. “They're just not for us. or they would have at least said something by now."
“Our demands are merely a question of justice and fair play That's what athletics is supposed to be ail about," Franklin said
Shapiro discusses ‘Jewish woman’
By MARC IRItDLAM)
Humean« Staff Writer
Brenda Shapiro. "The New Jewish Woman," said in a speech she gave at a Hillel brunch on Sunday, that being a liberated woman causes ma:ny conflicts.
Due to the strong traditional sense of the Jewish religion, the liberated Jewish woman experiences even a greater amount of anguish and conflict than many women. Shapiro said. She said that it is due to the women's lib movement that the representation of the woman in society was no longer "through the eyes of her husband " Also, no longer does the woman get referred to as the “doctor’s wife." and no longer does she have to stand for what her husband once stood for.
According to Shapiro, the New Jewish Woman must not only prepare herself for facing the conflicts of the “real world." but In addition she must maintain her household in the Jewish tradition in which she too was raised
Is it at all possible for her to transform herself Into, as Shapiro puts it, a “Super Mom”' Unfortunately, the New Jewish Woman cannot expect to perform all of these superhuman feats while trying to remain as an individual and in her career.
“You can't do it all They spend two years killing themselves in order to meet all the expectations. What must result is shared responsibility." Shapiro said At this point emphasis must be placed on her children and most importantly, her husband
According to Shapiro, the time has come for a New Jewish Man to evolve in order to accept and understand that his counterpart has changed a great deal
"In order for her to survive, she must depend on this New Jewish
Man; he must accept the new woman,” she said. "She doesn't benefit alone.”
It Is only with the shared resp«m-slbility of her family and husband that she can reach maximum involvement.
Currently. Shapiro, director of the American Jewish Committee, is fighting endlessly to educate the Jewish community in order that
they realize what has to be done.
It is through Shapiro's efforts that there is now a place in Jewish communal work for the female college graduate. No longer is the woman's job considered as "just part time work." After returning to college, this time to UM as a full time student at 31. Shapiro has led her "second life” as volunteer, assistant director and now director of the American Jew ish Committee.

"I see my role as a Puerto Rican person in various ways." (ieraldo Rivera. New York local WABC-TV reporter and co-host of ABC's Good Morning. America, said to a nearly packed Ibis Cafeteria audience last Thursday.
His visit is the first of many to be sponsored by Lecture Series
“I think that I have an obligation to cover stories that were not covered prior to my coming onto the broadcast journalism profession. Kor instance," he said, "ghetto families What it's like to be receiving food stamps, just what it's like in a single parent household In a place like south Bronx or south Chicago or Watts, in east Los Angeles or the east side of Washington. D.C."
Rivera pointed out that television cameras only entered poor areas when some major disaster occured. reinforcing the middle-class idea that people in the slums were "different.” He saw as part of his job showing that the poor were just like
everyone else, "chasing off stereotypes."
"They see me." Rivera said, "and they say ‘How come he doesn't have pointy shoes, how come he doesn't have kinky hair, how’ come he doesn't carry a switchblade, how-come he's not an alcoholic, how-come he's not a wifebeater, how come he doesn't have 14 children?' I just say, ‘Look at me.'
"I wanted to show that the only thing that differentiates these poor people is that they're poor and that they live under horrible conditions."
Attesting to the fact that deficient high school students still have an opportunity to make good. Rivera elaborated on his time at West Babylon High
"Even though Km well educated in terms of the number of years spent in various institutions of higher learning.” he said. "I was a terrible student.
"Prior to my revolutionary phase. I was a person interested mainly in motorcycles, women and getting

It’s official. Signed, sealed, delivered.
In spite of the definite $100 fall increase, the fate of next spring’s tuition will now be solely dependent upon students of the University.
On Saturday, in the office ot Hur-rirane Editor Marshall Steingold. UM President Henry King Stanford presented Undergraduate Student Body Government (USBG) President Allan Lubel with a written guaren-tee that no decision will be made concerning spring tuition until the enrollment figures have been carefully analyzed.
A committee of students, faculty and administration has been set up to implement a massive recruitment and retention program. The Recruitment and Retention Committee has been given top priority over all other agencies.
The importance of this program is most easily measured in dollars and cents. Next fall, tuition will he $1850. Projected enrollment is 9100. If roughly 9350 students are enrolled. tuition will decrease by $100 back down to $1750. according to figures quoted by Dr. George Huxel. director of budget and auditing If roughly 500 new students matriculate. tuition will drop another $100 to $1650.
Stanford said he is "enthusiastii about the plan."
“Lubel’s plan represents an innovation and creative approach to the problem as students see it," Stanford said. "He has called upon the stead of the usual spring USBG am eager to join him "
Stanford also discussed how much he would like to see the plan become successful.
"I don’t sit in the Ashe Building and diabolically plot how- to raise tuition," Stanford said
Lubel and two aides on the committee. Senate Speaker Jose Cantillo and Jack Levin, are confident, but strongly urge that student help is the key to success or failure.
“This is the first time in the history of modern education that students will have the key role in determining the fate oKtheir tuition,” said Lubel. l.ubel’s two point plan of implementation is as follows:
Students will be given a list of high school seniors in their home towns to contact to discuss programs at UM. There will also be a campaign at the local high schools, as UM has been a part of their community for quite some time.
The second part is retention Instead of the usual sprinq USBG door-to-door election campaigns, the door-to-door will be strictly a UM campaign to find out how students feel about the University.
There will also be an alumni-freshman dinner program in which alumni will take freshmen to dinner and make them feel part of the community.
Another innovation is the personalized faculty program. At the end of every semester, faculty members will throw social get-togethers with their classes to effect more successful student-faculty Interaction.
Lubel deemed the national high school recruiting plan among the most important aspect of the program
"There will be about two million high school seniors bound for college this fall." said Lubel. "One thousand of them mjke up less than a percentage point of that. How-hard can it be to get less than half of a percent of a population like that? Not hard at all if the students all join together."
Both Lubel and Stanford will speak at a rally in support of the new program at 11:30 a m. tomorrow at the Rock, in front of the Student Union.

“Up to now the discussion is focused on the New Jewish Woman; hopefully, we will be able to enlarge that discussion to the Jewish family, because the woman’s move will ultimately mean institutional change in the Jewish community...a change that will bring all Jews into equal partnership,” Shapiro said.
Shapiro said she felt that women could still he committed to Judaism w-hile being feminists.
