The members of tile Doshisha l
Hamburgers stood in awe 1 heir
wide-open arid entranced eyes con
firmed tins was the crowning jewel
of a week to remember
The Hamburgers, a .Japanese col
legiate football team, capped more
than a week of American football
training by watching defending
national football champion IJ of
Notre Dame practice.
The Hamburgers spent the week
at Earlham College in Richmond,
Ind. They played an exhibition game
against Earlham, an N( 'AA Division
111 school that went 1 -8 last year, and
the Hamburgers last 27-0.
Hamburger Coach Aiko Ichise
was a visiting professor at Earlham
m 1982-S3 He organized the week
long trip and the visit to Notre
Dame. While the trip was a good
learning experience, the
Hamburgers a nickname Ichise
chose liecause he wanted it to reflect
some part of American culture —
aren't quite ready to play a regular
season in America. The average
Doshisha player weighs 158
pounds.
The Japanese who are so com
petitive and successful in the busi
ness world — aren’t concerned
about winning on the field. Against
Earlham, the Hamburgers called a
time out in the closing seconds of
the game as Earlham approached
the goal line They didn't care if
Earlham scored; they just wanted
to play longer.
In the United States, professional
and collegiate sports art' big busi
nesses. In Japan, sports are for fun
and recreation. The Japanese don’t
live or die with a basketball or foot
ball game. A business deal to buy
France, maybe, but not a game.
But when talking about the seem
ing ineptitude of the Hamburgers,
just remember the aftermath of
World War II Then down-and-out
Japan has become a dominant eco
nomic power in just 45 years.
So give the Japanese time to devel
op the game. .And if they can’t pro
duce a dominant team of their own.
they just might buy Notre Dame

New laws may boost women’s sports

U. of Washington
Washington state's recently passed sex
equity laws will most likely have a ripple
effect and help women across the country
achieve equality in collegiate athletics,
say women's rights activists and legisla
tars.
“This is really a landmark decision.”
said state Rep Ken Jacobsen, D-Seattle.
"I think they are going to be model acts
for the country."
The laws allow Washington state col
leges to waive tuition and fees for a lim
ited number of athletes who may have
otherwise had their tuition paid by ath
letic department scholarships. When
implemented in 1990, the waivers will
provide up to an additional 181 scholar
ships — must ot which win go to women
— and cost the state treasury $1.4 mil
lion a year
In addition, the laws require
Washington’s Higher Education
Coordinating Board to set guidelines to
eliminate gender discrimination at state
institutions.
The laws also require a sex-equity con
ference be held in 1990 where coaches,
teachers and administrators for high

More men join female-dominated aerobics classes

Greg DiLeo is one ol the many men who have
turned to aerobic exercise
By Steve Harmon

Cal Poly State U.. San Luis Obispo
Watch out Jane Fonda, here come the
guys.
More and more males are suiting up
in spandex and Keeboks and joining
female-dominated aerobics fitness class
es Anybody who has gone through a one
hour workout will attest that aerobics is
sexless it beats the hell out of both
males and females
California Polytechnic State U. phys
ical education senior Greg DiLeo has
been doing aerobics for six years.
However, he wasn't into the exercise at
first.“Girls were the first thing that
attracted me." DiLeo said “Then, after
a while, 1 realized it’s a good way to stay
in shape"
DiLeo remembers his first aerobics
class “1 felt like an idiot," DU^eo said “1
felt completely uncoordinated 1 couldn't
do any of the moves and 1 just felt
cm harassed to lie m there. .Alter a while
of just constantly going, 1 picked it all
up"
“I’d like to see a lot more men get
involved. Lifting weights builds more
muscle, but as an overall means of stay
ing fit, it’s just not the same as circuit
training (aerobics and moderate weight
lifting) or aerobics," DiLeo believes.
DiLeo said he finds it amusing that on
one side of the gym women will be the
minority as they pump weights in a
mostly male crowd, and on the other side
of the gym, the men will be the minority
doing aerobics
Marcy Maloney, Cal Poly Rec Sports
fitness and leisure coordinator, said the
number of men doing aerobics has
increased.
Maloney, who has taught aerobics for
10 years and is an instructor at a local
fitness club, said classes now have three
to four males — up from last year. She
attributes this increase to changing atti
tudes and less intense workouts offered
by some instructors.
Men don’t participate because aero
bics is dance-oriented and “men don't
feel comfortable in dance They an1 more
into calisthenics," she said
Maloney said the women enjoy it when
men get involved in aerobics classes
“They love it. A co-ed class is fun."
