Title IX now Swiss cheese
The 1984 Olympics was said to
be a proving ground for a group of
athletes. No, they didn’t come
from any far-away country; there
was no special event that they par
ticipated in. These athletes were
from right here in the U.S., and
they participated in 90 percent of
the events. The uniqueness about
these athletes? They were women.
They were unique because
these women were products of
Title IX of the Education Admen
dments of 1972. Title IX forced
colleges to adequately fund women
athletics and academic programs
to the same tune as they had been .
funding programs for men. For
the first time women were being
rewarded for their athletic and
academic ability.
The law basically stated that any
institution caught violating the act
could loose all federal funding of
all programs. The amendment
went further for it forced any in
stitution receiving federal funds to
toe the line.

What’s wrong with
Muhammad Ali?
NEW YORK Physicians at
Columbia Presbyterian Medical
Cener are reportedly still trying to
figure the cause for severe abnor
malities to the brain of legendary
boxer Muhammad Ali.
The champ was admitted to the
Medical Center Tuesday for the
second time in less that a week to
undergo further tests for what doc
tors believed to be massive brain
damage.
There is speculation that Ali’s
problem is unrelated to his boxing
career and that he is suffering from
both Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s
Disease sometimes suffer sym
ptoms of premature senility.
Dr. Edwin A. Campbell, direc
tor of the Statge Athletic Com
mission who has examined the
champ on a number of occasions,
told reporters that Ali has been
on medication for high blood
pressure for sometime.
In addition, Dr. Campbell said
the champ has also been taking L-

Pensylvania, was ordered by the
government to comply with certain
regulations. They refused and
went to court with President
Reagan’s backing. The school and
the Reagan Justice Department felt
Title IX was unfair and its power
limited. The Justice Department
got its wish as the U.S. Supreme
Court’s ruling was Reagan’s first
major civil rights victory.
By a vote of 6-2, the court said
federal money could only be cut
from the programs affected. What
this means is that any program
within an institution not receiving
federal funds can now discriminate
without fear. According to
Marearet A. Kohn of the National
Women’s Law Center, “Title IX is
now a piece of Swiss cheese.”
But all is not loss. The House,
by a vote of 414-8, passed a bill to
overrule the decision of the court.
However, the bill is beign held up
in the Republican-led Senate.
This is a very important piece of
legislation that’s going to affect all
of us. We need to make our voices
heard on this very important issue.
Dopa. Combining these two
medications, Dr. Campbell said,
most patients need some adjust
ments and one of the reasons the
champ was admitted is to change
his prescription.
While L-Dopa is often linked to
Parkinson’s Disease, Dr. Cam
pbell siad it is sometimes used for
symptoms lumped together as
“Parkinsonism.”
However, Dr. Campbell said the
champ doesn’t appear to have the
disease because “he does not walk
like a victim.”
While Ali, appearance-wise,
seemed to be a picture of health,
his speech is barely audible.
At times, his span of interest
seemed ot drift. Almost as if he was
somewhere else. At times, it was
almost impossible to hear him as he
explained his involvement in the
new product bearing his name.
“It’s a good quality cologne,”
said the Champ. “I’m very proud
to have my name behind and
