Ninety-One Years of Editorial Freedom EM41t tt1 SUNNY Warm skies today with a high in the mid-60s and a low tonight in the lower 40s. 1- *Vol. XCI, No. 31 Copyright 1980, The Michigan Daily Ann Arbor, Michigan-Thursday, October 9, 1980 Ten Cents TwelvePages Future still bleak for Probe of alleged sex V iewpoint By STEVE HOOK Viewpoint Lectures is still in deep financial trouble, despite a large tur- nout at Tuesday night's Shana Alexan- der-James Kilpatrick debate-a tur- nout that pleased Viewpoint management. At present, just two lectures have been formally scheduled for the remaining months of the 1980-81 school *year: Abbie Hoffman in November and one speaker during the winter term, probably journalist Ed Bradlee. Financial setbacks in the series first two events-a Ralph Nader lecture and Tuesday night's "Point-Counterpoint" debate-have brought future preparations to a-virtual standstill. "IT'S KIND OF dismal," sighed Viewpoint Chairwoman Michele Carter yesterday. "Weknew Ralph Nader 'would lose money, but we hoped this (Alexander-Kilpatrick) would cover it, but this lost money too." She added that Viewpoint's sights are now on Abbie Hoffman, in hopes that the recently-uncovered ex-Yippie will replenish the lecture program's tills. "If we can do well with Abbie Hoffman, maybe we'll be able to bring more people in," Carter said. The Hoffman appearance could, however, spell quick doom for Viewpoint. "If that lecture doesn't work out (attendance of fewer than 1,000 people), we might have to throw in the towel at that point,"said Roy Moore, vice-president for finance and services at the University Activities Center, which controls.

Three thousand dollars were paid to Nader *when he spoke last month and $4,500 went to bothAlexander and Kilpatrick Tuesday night for a total of' $12,000 in the first six weeks of the school year. After accounting for income that the lecture series derives, UAC's Board of Directors budgets for an overall loss of $3,000. "We've pretty well gone through that already," Carter said.

Something wasn't quite right with its advertising gimmick yesterday as its blimp crashes into trees in Lakehurst, N.J.- DqI t r after a brief blackout By SARA ANSPACH Federal investigators will be on campus October 27 to begin a-complete sex. bias probe of the University's athletic department. The Department of Education in- vestigation is in response to four com- plaints against the University that have been filed with the former Department of Health, Education, and Welfare since the anti-sex discrimination act, Title IX, became law in 1972. THE INVESTIGATION will be an in- depth probe of the athletic department and will cover all aspects- of the program, not just the areas in which the complaints were made. The University is one of eight schools the Department of Education will begin to investigate this month. The gover- nment also has plans to conduct probes of athletic departments at 10 other universities in the near future. Eventually 80 colleges will be in- vestigated, said Department of Education spokeswoman Jane Glick- man. In the past eight years, 124 com- plaints have been filed against these 80 schools, and each complaint must be "followed up with .a--complete in- vestigation, Glickman said. THE FOUR COMPLAINTS filed against the University include: " A 1973 complaint that charged the athletic department with wide-scale sex discrimination; * A 1976 complaint that stated there were major inequities in the Univer- sity's treatment of male and female golf teams; * A complaint made in 1977 charging major discrepancies in the amount of male and female athletic scholarships; and, * A complaint filed in May, 1979 by two members of the women's track team charging the University with multiple violations of Title IX. UNIVERSITY ATHLETIC Director" Donald Canham, when he learned of the intended investigation last August, said he knew of no complaints filed with the Department of Education against the University. Ann Arbor resident Marcia Feder- bush filed the first complaint in 1973-charging the University with "gross sexual discrimination." According to her 57 page complaint, the University had no intercollegiate athletics program for women in 1973 and yet spent more than-$2 million on its .men's intercollegiate athletic program. That figure, the complaint said, was more than 1,300 times the amount given to Women's Sports Clubs-the only program which allowed some intercollegiate competition for See PROBE, Page 6 By MITCH CANTOR About 50 street and sidewalk lights on the Diag and in nearby areas were reactivated late Tuesday night after they had been accidentally cut off earlier in the week. The lights were reactivated at approximately 11 p.m., ac- cording to Tim Shannon, a Campus Security safety officer who was on patrol at the time. University Director of Safety Walter Stevens also confirmed that the fixtures were working by midnight Tuesday. THE DARKENED AREA extended from the Diag north- ward to Thayer St.-an area that bears pedestrian -traffic from the Graduate Library, the Modern Languages Building, and Rackham Auditorium. Neither police nor Campus Security-both of which added extra patrols to the areasto help offset the problem-repor- ted any unusual criminal activity in the areas during the blackout. A spokesman from Detroit Edison explained earlier that the problem was caused by electrical cables accidentally cut during road construction work on State Street. JAMES CONNELLY, director of customer and marketing services at Detroit Edison, said Tuesday that light cables had been cut and exposed in several places due to the State Street renovation. Connelly said yesterday that an earlier problem with city light cables occurred after a severe storm in July, but he ad- -ded that-the summer-incident didn't seem to be related to the, recent cable problem. The blackout occurred only weeks after the city was rocked by a murder that police say could be the third in a series. Milliken proposes $100 million cuts , Anderson staff at 'U' fights on despite polls LANSING" (UPI )- Gov. William Milliken, in a rare statewide television address, yesterday called Michigan's * fiscal plight the toughest in 40 years and announced new cuts affecting welfare, colleges, and other areas totaling about $100 million. While auto dependent Michigan is in "extremely difficult" straits, the long- term outlook for the industry and the state remains positive, Milliken in- sisted in a somber, 18-minute address broadcast live, ,from the capital on a network of radio and television stations which included most major Michigan' cities. He said the state already has made cuts-totaling $1 billion over two years-which have caused "genuine hardship," but said more will be, necessary. MILLIKEN MADE the latest cuts under emergency powers granted by the legislature. Lawmakers voted last week to give Milliken unprecedented spending powers over the next -90 days while House members campaign for re- election. It was the first time the governor has gone on statewide television since a 1978 energy address and only the fifth time in the past 10 years, underscoring the administration's concern over the state's worsening fiscal plight. THE TIMING of the address was criticized by some, however, who suggested the video poormouthing was designed to convince voters to reject the radical Tisch Tax Cut Amendment. Milliken's text did not refer directly to Proposal D, but he later conceded he hopes viewers made the connection between the state's current woes and the increased suffering which would be caused by Tisch-a statement which, seemed to contradict his aides earlier assurances on the subject. Milliken was practicing his speech until the last minute and, aided by a teleprompter, brought it off largely without a hitch. On at least one station, however, he went off the air for a brief period toward the end of the address. "YOUR STATE government is under a severe strain from two sides," Milliken said. "On the one hand, the reduced economic activity has lowered the amount of tax revenues available to the state. On the other hand; the demand for state services has grown sharply." "This will be the most difficult fiscal year experienced by state government in more than 40 years" the first since 1940 in which spending will be below the previous year's levels, he said. See MILLIKEN Page 9 By JANET RAE They are idealistic, but they are also realistic. University students for Anderson say the congressman from Illinois is the best presidential candidate, but they also admit he has little chance to win. Recent polls indicate he has less than 20 percent of the vote. But John Anderson's supporters on campus say they will keep working. "I'D BE IN Fantasyland if I said right now he'd win," said Will Hathaway, one of two head coor- dinators of Students for Anderson, the group of University supporters. "But," he added, "anything can happen. "If everyone who thought Anderson is the best man voted for him, he'd win,"' Hathaway said. "I really believe in Anderson," testified Jeannie Brewer, the other head coordinator of the student cam- paign group. "At first it was that I hated the other two (candidates Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan). But now I see that Anderson has good judgment and new ideas.. . he is not afraid." DESPITE ANDERSON'S relatively low standing in the polls, his National Unity Campaign has a wider base of student support than, the other can- didates' campaigns. Many Anderson workers on campus say-the majority of student votes will be cast for Anderson and his running mate Patrick Lucey, the governor of Wisconsin. The campus group, an offshoot of An- derson's Ann Arbor campaign commit- tee headquartered on Main Street, is headquartered in student apartments and dorm rooms. "We are getting the students in- volved," Hathaway said. Brewer said the "driving force" behind the campaign is the volunteer pool of more than 100 students. "Get- ting in touch with all of them can be very frustrating," Brewer acknowledged, "but we have some very dedicated volunteers." VOLUNTEER Coordinator Brian Sher said "We have almost 150 people signed up but only 40 to 50 of them have actually worked," he said. Of these, Sher estimated only about 20 can be called "good workers" who devote two or more hours a week to the campaign. The volunteers are given a variety of chores under the direction of several coordinators. Besides Hathaway and Brewer, there are volunteer coor- dinators Sher, Kim Fridkin and Carl 'Stein.
