"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- ien s sports ships -- most of which will 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 See EQUITY, Page 23 By Eric Meckley The Daily Collegian Pennsylvania State U. In 1969 James Brown had a number one hit single with "Say it Loud - I'm Black and I'm Proud." Exultant, direct and powerful. Pennsylvania State U. senior Stephen Mitchell walked down South Allen Street and - without speaking a word - said the same thing. His message swung at the end of a rope around his neck - one large black medallion with the continent of Africa carved into its leather face. "Wearing medallions or wearing Koffis (an African hat) is a way of expressing African pride and a way of living in the Special Dorms Continued from page 8 present," Mitchell said. "My medallion lets people know I'm black and I'm proud." Mitchell bought his medallion about one-and-a-half years ago in New York City, about the time when medallions and other Afrocentric clothing and jew- elry began appearing more frequently in cities and on college campuses. That the medallions are now seen more frequently than gold jewelry demonstrates a new awareness, Mitchell said. "We're finally listening to the teachings of Malcolm X, Jesse Jackson and Minister (Louis) Farrakhan." The designs gracing the leather and wood medallions today range from images of Africa to figures of black cul- tural advocates such as Marcus Garvey and Malcolm X. Color combinations vary, but each hue represents something to the medallion's owner. Red signifies the blood shed during the African people's struggle, black symbol- izes unity and consciousness among the people, green represents the nature of the African motherland, and yellow is a color present in many African countries' flags Black Caucus President Walter Mosley said the cultural awakening symbolized by the medallions has led to increased self-respect among blacks. "The medallions serve as an indicator to a lot of people that there's more to life thanjust America. There's a motherland where we all came from," Mosley said.

Hamburgers stood in awe. Their wide-open and entranced eyes con- firmed this 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 U. of Notre Dame practice. The Hamburgers spent the week at Earlham College in Richmond, Ind. They played an exhibition game against Earlham, anNCAADivision III school that went 1-8last year, and the Hamburgers lost 27-0. Hamburger Coach Aiko Ichise was a visiting professor at Earlham in 1982-83. He organized the week- lorig trip and the visit to Notre Dame. While the trip was a good learning experience, the Hamburgers - a nickname Ichise chose because 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 are 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. More men join female-dominated By Steve Harmon Mustang Daily 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 Reeboks 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, I realized it's a good way to stay in shape." DiLeo remembers his first aerobics class. "I felt like an idiot," DiLeo said. "I felt completely uncoordinated. I couldn't do any of the moves and I just felt embarassed to be in there. After a while of just constantly going, I picked it all up." "I'd like to see a lot more men get aerobics classes 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 are 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." The concept of special-interest hous- ing was introduced at the university in the late '70s. "We wanted to experiment with a dorm where students could speak a for- eign language all the time," said Dick Romm, residence life director. "Dunn Hall was called Deutsches House. An instructor from the German department ate lunch with the students once a week. The students also had some German language presentations," he said. The halls have also enjoyed strong popularity among students. They are open to all students, although two halls, academic pursuit and cross-cultural, require essays from potential residents. Schafer, the creative arts hall, is one of the more successful special-interest dorms on campus, according to Romm. "This dorm has the highest percentage of returning residents. They've done a great job painting murals in their lobby and stairways." Laura Ennis, a returning Schafer res- ident and an art history major, said, "Living in a creative arts dorm gives us a chance to be creative in a family atmo- sphere." of AMBE" "WIL" S N, MUS ANG" DAILY, ' "AL "FR I'APLYTE N1I STATE U., SAN LUIS OBISPO Greg DiLeo is one of the many men who have turned to aerobic exercise.
