Sexual inequality - does anybody care?
Discrimination reports spark little interest
By PHIL WALDSTEIN
Of the Emerald
Is the University report on sex
discrimination a white-wash?
Maybe yes, maybe no. As of
Tuesday afternoon only four peo
ple had bothered to try to find out.
Reports to the University Title
Nine Task Force from academic
departments showing an enroll
ment discrepancy by sex, and re
ports from service and administra
tive departments have been on
display at the Affirmative Action
Office, 465 Oregon Hall, since
May 10. They will remain there
through next Monday.
Joanne Carlson, chairer of the
task force and assistant dean of
the University's graduate school,
wants people to look at the reports
and tell the task force, either in
writing or in five-minute oral pre
sentations at a May 25 work ses
sion, whether the reports tell the
whole story on sex discrimination.
She wants to know if the reports
are "in any way inaccurate, in
adequate or incomplete."
Anyone can check out a file of
reports from the row of green fol
ders prominently displayed in the
Affirmative Action Office. Persons
can use the quiet of the adjacent
room to take notes and write out
comments.
Carlson says comments need
not be signed but she would like to
know whether the statement is
from a student, faculty or staff
member, or an interested citizen.
Persons wanting to talk at the
work session scheduled for Tues
day, 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., should call
Ext. 5136 for an appointment.
Written comments are due May
28.
So far, Carlson has received no
calls or written comments or calls
for appointments.
The task force is doing a little
better on public input from their
athletic preference survey. Carl
son sent out 1,600 questionnaires
to students on May 5. By Tuesday
she had received 164 completed
surveys. "I hope we get at least
half of them back,” she said.
Title Nine of the 1972 education
amendments requires a federally
assisted educational institution to
provide equal athletic programs
and facilities according to stu
dents’ interests and abilities. The
questionnaire is designed to de
termine students' interests.
It lists a page of what looks like
every G-rated physical activity
imaginable and asks students to
list nine of them and tell the task
force whether the sport should be
classed under intercollegiate ath
letics, intramural competition,
Club Sports or general recreation.
Employe scholarships
open for many uses
A new fund for University classified employes to further their educa
tion does not require that the classes be related to their present job.
First announcements about the new fund indicated that the pur
pose was to assist employes who wish to “further their career develop
ment."
"Some people have perceived that to mean that the education has
to be related to your present job," says Stoddard Malarkey, chairer of
the campus second century drive. “Your career is whatever you per
ceive it to be; it doesn't have to have anything to do with your job."
The endowed fund to provide tuition, fees and books for classified
employes is one of the special funds to which faculty and staff may
contribute during the Second Century Drive. Recipients will be chosen
by a representative committee of classified employes at the University.

It further asks whether students
think teams should be composed
of one sex or both, or whether
selection should be based on abil
ity.
The task force then asks stu
dents to list activities that for some
reason are not available to them
and to give the reason. Possible
answers are “too expensive,” “fi
nancial aid not available,”
“facilities or equipment are unav
ailable or inadequate,” "coaching
is unavailable or inadequate,” “it
is not offered at the competitive
level I want (such as intercol
legiate, intramural, etc.)” and “it is
not offered at my level of skill.”
Finally it asks which competitive
classes should be emphasized by
the University, whether students
think scholarships should be
awarded and, if so, whether on the
basis of athletic skill, academic
ability or financial need.
Carlson says the present athle
tic opportunities are extensive, but
there may exist a bloc of students
who want something not offered.
The Department of Health,
Education and Welfare is enforc
ing sexual equality laws and has
required the University to submit a
self-evaluation to it by July 21. The
task force is preparing that report.
Will that report be accurate or
will it be called a white-wash?
Some constructive written com
ments or verbal presentations to
the task force may decide.
