Student Assembly vice presi- dent, and former MSA member Anita Tanay filed a complaint of sex discrimination against University honor society Mich- igamua, now- known as the Order of Angell, under Title IX. Title IX is a federal statute which governs sex discrimina- tion in universities and other institutions that receive fed- eral funding. Blumenthal and Tanay's complaint alleged that Michigamua received preferen- tial treatment from the Univer- sity for information about jobs, tickets to sporting events and N T H E WEB., Cross country BY NATE CLARK It's still early, but the No. 1 Michigan women's cross country team has yet to lose.

Daily masthead BY THE MICHIGAN DAILY In honor of the Daily's 125th year, we have updated our masthead. But this doesn't tell the whole story. Despite the paper's efforts to uphold tradition, our masthead has been far from consistent in recent years, a disparity we hope to rectify moving into the next 125 years of editorial freedom. use of space, despite not being a recognized student organiza- tion. It also pointed to the fact that Michigamua was all male at the time. "Michigamua does not violate Title IX because Title IX has no applications to Michigamua - Michigamua receives no federal funds," said John Feldkamp, director of housing and Mich- igamua's unofficial adviser, in response to the allegation.. Thirty years ago this week (October 2,1984) Then-University president Harold Shapiro and Engineer- ing Prof. George Haddad were added to a list of subpoenaed officials in a case filed by the Progressive Student Network over the arrest of 11 of their members, all students at the University, at a sit-in the pre- vious fall to protest alleged military research in Haddad's laboratory. Donald Koster, defense attor- ney for the students, said he also planned to subpoena sev- eral other individuals before the November trial, though he declined to name them. Shapiro and Haddad both told The Michigan Daily they knew nothing about the subpoenas at the time of publication. - SHOHAM GEVA Newsroom 734-418-4115sopt.3 Corrections corrections@michigandaily.com Arts Section arts@michigandaily.com SportsSection sports@michigandaily.com Display Sales dailydisplay@gmail.com Online Sales onlineads@michigandaily.com, News Tips news@michigandaily.com Letterstothe Editor tothedaily@michigandaily.com Editorial Page opinion @chigandaly.com Photography Section photo@michiganddily.com Classified Sales classified@michigandaily.com Finance finance@Tichigandaily.com a I CAMPUS EVENT Mental health lecture S & NOTES THREE THINGS YOU Climate President of .

Rackham student David Ben- son-Putnins said he came to WeatherFest to recruit students for the Solar Car Team. The team recruits members studying in the Department of Atmospher- ic, Oceanic and Space Sciences because they are equipped with a background in meteorology and can help predict the weather for a five-day race. "How fast the battery empties depends on how fast we drive and how much solar radiation we get," he said. Each booth offered a different perspective on meteorology. Engineering graduate stu- dent Nathan Boll represented the Cyclone Global Navigation Satellite System project on cam- pus. Boll, a NASA ambassador involved in science education and outreach for NASA pro- grams, said CYGNSS is "record- ing GPS signals reflected off the surface of the ocean that will tell us about the wind speed inside of tropical storms from space." "Part of this public outreach- activity is to educate people about the opportunities for research that are going on here at the University of Michigan and the surrounding area, but also the impacts of NASA sci- ence on our local community," Boll added. Boll said the data collected from CYGNSS would allow researchers to build better computer models to predict the path and strength of hurricanes before they make landfall. Such technology could help keep peo- ple safe by providing more accu- rate weather warnings. University alum Andrea Reynolds, outreach workshops manager for the Ann Arbor Hands-On Museum, explained the function of the infrared cam- era at her booth. The camera highlighted the coolest and hottest places on your body. She said meteo- rologists use these cameras in weather satellites to find out "where storms are ... and how high clouds are in the atmo- sphere." University alum Rich Poll- man, the warning coordination meteorologist at the National Weather Service of Detroit/Pon- tiac, said he came to WeatherFest to support AOSS and to teach people "how to be prepared for severe weather and how to get a hold of that weather information so that they can act in times of emergencies." Pollman, a graduate of the AOSS class of 1992, said he enjoyed speaking with members of the AOSS department about what it is like to work for the National Weather Service. "It's always fun to come back here and help out the old depart- ment and see the new students that are here." I JEROME DELAY/AP A child plays in the streets of Monrovia, Liberia Sunday.

"These senators are the ones deciding whether this bill is going to pass or not," Shaw-Oba- sogie said. "They have the say whether these 50 million people will have electricity or not. By meeting the Senate I really feel like I did contribute." Both Shaw-Obasogie and Dickinson became involved in ONE after signing up at Festi- fall on campus last year. They hope to continue their efforts on campus by maintaining contact with advocates they met in D.C., sending follow-up notes to the senators they met with and con- tinuing to promote letter writing to senators in support of the act. Back on campus, Shaw-Oba- sogie is a ONE Campaign cam- pus leader and is working with the ONE office in Washington. She said she hopes to continue advocating the act and other ini See WASHINGTON, Page 3A Health-resources increasingly strained in west African country MONROVIA, Liberia (AP) - Doctors are in short supply. So are beds for patients. Six months after the Ebola outbreak emerged for the first time in an unprepared West Africa and eventually became the worst- ever outbreak, the gap between what has been sent by other countries and private groups and what is needed is huge. Even as countries try to marshal more resources, those needs threaten to become much greater, and possibly even insur- mountable. Fourteen-year-old D.J. Mul- bah was taken by his mother and grandmother on Saturday in desperate pursuit of a cov- eted bed at the Ebola clinic run by Doctors Without Borders in Monrovia, Liberia's capital. Too weak to stand, he was put into a taxi with his backpack and a bucket for vomit. Now he lay on the dirt beside the worried women. "He's been sick for a week with a runny stomach," said his mother, wiping the sweat off the boy's brow with her bare hands. "We tried calling an ambulance days ago but nobody ever came.". Beds are filling up as fast as clinics can be built. Ambulance sirens blare through standstill traffic. Often there is nowhere to take the sick except to "holding centers" where they await a bed at an Ebola treatment facility. By 8 a.m. a dozen people who likely have Ebola are crouch- ing and sitting on the ground outside the padlocked metal gates of a facility with a capac- ity of 160 patients. Soon a tri- age nurse approaches, her voice muffled through a surgical mask covered by a plastic face shield. The clinic will take the boy. D.J. manages a faint smile. Seven of the 30 beds made available Sat- urday morning were vacated by survivors. The rest had died. Statistics reviewed by The Associated Press and- inter- views with experts and those on the scene of one of the worst health disasters in modern his- tory show how great the needs are and how little the world has done in response. Some foreign medical workers have bravely fought on, a few even contract- ing Ebola themselves as they cared for patients. Experts warn that the window of opportunity yfillas reign ai to snuff out the dreaded disease may close unless promises of additional assistance immedi- ately become reality. The existing bed capacity for Ebola patients in Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea and Nigeria is about 820, well short of the 2,900 beds that are currently needed, according to the World Health Organization. Recently 737 beds were pledged by coun- tries. Yet even after the prom- ised treatment facilities are built, they will still be at least 2,100 beds short. The shortage of health work- ers is also great. WHO has estimated that 1,000 to 2,000 international health workers are needed in West Africa. More than local 200 health workers have died of Ebola trying to save patients, complicating recruit- ment efforts. Doctors Without Borders, which has more Ebola clin- ics than anyone, currently has 248 foreign aid workers in the region. President Barack Obama has ordered up to 3,000 U.S. mili- tary personnel to West Africa to train health workers and build more than a dozen 100-bed field hospitals, including reserved sections for infected aid work- ers in Liberia. 4 * 0
