Other federal laws prohibiting
discrimination with federal
funs on the basis of race, national
origin, handicap or age
also apply to the "program or
activity."
These laws are very important.
For example, Title IX
helped to accomplish women's
participation in intercollegiate
athletic pn^rams. Between
1973 and l^'fe, women's participation
aoubled; women
now represent 30 percent of all
college afnletes. Before Title
IX, no college or university
awarded athletic scholarships
to women; by 1982, women
received 20 percent of such
scholarships.
Between 1972 and 1982, the
* percentage of women in
medical schools rose from 11

education ? In 1960, only 18
percent of college-age black
high school graduates were in
school. By 1975, it was up
dramatically, to 32 percent.
But it now has fallen to about
25 percent.
poverty ? In 1960, 55 percent
of blacks were poor; in
1970, 30 percent. Today, over
36 percent are poor.

about because of Title IX.
Concerned about the
Supreme Court ruling in
Grove City College v. Bell,
members of Congress have introduced
the Civil Rights Act
of 1984, which is intended to
counteract the Court's deci
sion. This bill would change
the words "program or activity"
in the Title IX statute and
other civil rights laws to "recipient,"
making it clear that an
entire institution, not just individual
activities, will be
covered by civil rights laws if it
receives federal funds.

Even with the progress
made in the 1960s, blacks

towards equity was eroded in

of crushed hopes, a time of
struggle for simple survival.

original intent of Title IX and
the other civil rights laws. The
House has passed the bill, but
the Senate has yet to act. It is
important for Congress to act
quickly to stop efforts to
perpetuate sex discrimination
and the Reagan Administration's
efforts to apply this ruling
to other critical civil rights
statutes like Title VI of the
1964 Civil Rights Act, which
prohibits discrimination by
recipients of federal funds on
the basis of race, color or national
origin. It is important
for Congress to stop efforts to
- turn back the clock on civil
rights.

As a religious reader of the
article, I would consider what
was said, that the members
forgave you, God forgave
you, you said it would not
happen again. Who are we to
judge? God can change the
minds of men and he does
change the minds of men. We
can be born again as quick as
the twinkling of an eye.
I am not saying an alcoholic
is a sinner. I am saying they
are sick. One commits a lot of
sin while becoming an
alcoholic. I am not saying the
minister should relinquish his
.ministry. I am saying with cer-.
tain sicknesses, there are certain
jobs that the person
should not perform.
