Appropriation bill gives state * of take'
By MICK MeGRATH M anaging E d itor
In order to acquire fee replace
ment fin d in g for the bond debt on the University Conference Center, the university may sur
render future revenue from the Lincoln Hotel.
Although the agreem ent has not been formalised yet, under the stipulations in the ap
propriation bill passed by the Indiana General Aseembly that would give IUPUI $3 million over the next six years, the uni
versity would repay the state with half of any revenues it receives through an agreement with University Development Group I, the owner of the Lin
coln Hotel.
“If the state shares in the cost, they should share in the bene
fits,” said Kenneth V. Kobe, state budget director.
Under the agreem ent with the-
‘I f shares In the the sta te cost, they should share In the bene
fits *
—K en n eth V . K obe State Budget Director revenue,** Kobe said.
"If they dont earn any money than the state is out the money.
It would be a straight out ap
propriation under those circum
stances."
Using 50 percent of the revenue received from the hotel, the university would be required to pay back 12.5 million of the
$3 million in state money.
J A . Franklin, director of gov
ernmental relations for Indiana University, said that the agree
ment between the university Under the agreem ent with the ^ d the state still has to be hotel owners, after set r e v e n u e i n writing with the thresholds are reached by the State Budget Agency.
owners, the university would start to share in the revenues accrued from the hotel.
The university would only be required to pay back the state if it started to share in hotel revenues through the agreem ent with the owners.
“It’s repayable under only one contingency — that they earn
If approved, the university would receive six yearly install
ments of $500,000 from the state to help retire the bonds.
The $12 million dollar Confer
ence Center, opened in Auxust, was financed with $3 million dollar grants from both the Krannert Charitable Trust and Lilly Endowment Inc., and $6
million raised form the sale of bonds.
Payments of $770,000 on the bond principal are due each Au
gust and payments on the inter
est are due biannually in August and February. Interest pay
m ents for 108$ are $171,802.50 and will decrease annually as the principal is paid off.
IUPUI made the first of seven annual payments to bondholders last year using $400,000 from reserve funds and $600,000 from ftinds earmarked for academic programs. About a third of the
$600,000 came from student tu i
tion fees.
The university will use money raised annually from a portion at the 7.9 percent tuition hike implemented last year to cover that part of the payments not met by the state.
Kobe said that the state is not looking for immediate paybacks from the university.
"We all realise the revenues are somewhere down the line,"
he said, adding that the ex
pected date for the payback to begin is in the early 1990s.
Although the recent decision of the Lincoln Property Co. of D allas to liquidate its hotel holdings has resulted in a search for a new manager of the hotel, it will not change the

Quaker author of ERA still ‘history’s great unknown’
By LESLIE L. PULLER E d itor in C h ief
It was the fifteenth of January, 20 years ago in W ashington, D.C.
Jeannette Rankin, a veteran con
gresswoman from Montana, was holed up in the headquarters of the National Woman’s Party, readying herself to lead an anti-Vietnam march.
Alice Paul, Rankin’s longtim e sMy, dis
covered CBS and NBC reporters at the door, determined to get interviews.
REALIZING THAT an interview in
side party headquarters would tie the National Woman’s Party to the anti- Vietnam movement — a political risk it could ill afford — Paul singlehandly held ofT the networks.
The Washington Post article that ap
peared the next day described the
‘Rankin File Brigade' march as "peaceful and ladylike"; no mention was made of the National Woman’s Party.
The incident is typical of Alice Paul (1885-1977), a quiet Quaker lady and brilliant strategist who never appeared more at ease than when handling politi
cal dynamite.
A complex person fighting for a simple
4 ne of the big barriers to suffrage was the Idea that women . . . ex
isted primarily as man's helpmate and assistant.’
— Amelia R. Fry right, Paul behaved in m arshalling sup
port for suffrage by sticking to a single, important political m essage rather than fragmenting the cause with the introduc
tion of other issues, according to her friend, oral historian Amelia R. Fry.
"She would adamantly keep them (spe
cial issues) away," said Fry.
PAUL’S CAREER SPANNED suf
frage days to the 1972 passage in Con
gress of a truncated version of the Equal Rights Amendment — a bill she herself had authored.
On the day Congress sent the ERA to the states for ratification, Paul was silent as others celebrated, the only one who foresaw that the amendment was hopelessly unviable given its seven-year lim itation and the increasingly conserva
tive political clim ate of the South.
"I think it was in 1988," mused Fry,
"when she eaw abortion as part of the plank that the new fem inists were urging. . . she thought they needed to be corrected right then.
"And of course Phyllis Schafley came along right then and made hay with it"
DESPITE DIFFERENCES in strategies and m otivations, Paul enjoyed the company of the *New Wave’ fem i
nists, a blue-jeaned, T-shirted second- generation of female activists that de
scended upon W ashington D.C. in the late ’60s.
It was against this background that Fnr first met Alice Paul.
“She used to enjoy all of us getting to
gether and telling her our stories . . . what pomposity someone had uttered that day. She would always cut through with a clarity that would pinpoint the problem we had for the next day; she was like a symphony conductor.
"IT WAS A MIX of the old savvy fem i
nists and the vibrant enthusiasm at the younger ones. I found it quite exhilarat
ing," she said.
"I was working with chief justice Earl Warren and I went over to meet her. All I wanted at the time was a quote from her."
FRY FOUND Paul a fascinating storyteller but reluctant source. *Rhe would talk to me and educate me about the early women's movement. She really had me quite agog. But she wouldn't let me take any notes. I finally interviewed her after she'd been turning me down for five years. She was a very reticent per
son, both by personality and Quaker training," said Fry.
Fry, currently on leave from the Uni
versity of California where she heads the Governor's Ere Oral History Project, is now at work on Paul’s biography, which she has spent eight years researching.
THE BIOGRAPHY was e task she did not anticipate but finds throughly ab
sorbing.
T oday she (Paul) remains probably the major unknown in Women’s History. She was soft-spoken, short, unassuming, and yet when she entered a room, she had the confident, take-charge attitude that ju st filled the room. Her eyes looked at you in a very direct manner.
"If you asked her a question, she would
be completely a len t eometimee for
several seconds. You would wonder if she

Demo candidate addresses Senate
By ANDREW CAREY . N ow . E d itor
Lost T ueed a/e Student Senate meeting wae dominated by preeentabone from gueet speakers, including a pitch from a Democratic candidate for the Indiana House of Representa
tives.
Brian Hoot, an IUPUI nursing student and one of three District 52 representative candidates endorsed by the Democratic party, spent approximately 10 minutes attacking Republican budget cuts for education before being interupted by Linda Prof
fitt, vice-president of Student Government.
Hoot had requested tim e to pose questions to members of the Senate, and Proffitt asked him to continue with these ques
tions, noting time contraints facing the Senate.
He then asked the senators to present important issues which
he could stress if elected.
After the m eeting. Hoot con
versed with remaining senators and asked for the Senate's endorsement for his campaign in District 52, which includes mostly the southwestern portion of Marion County south of the IUPU1 campus.
Proffitt invited him to voice h is interest to the entire Senate at the March 29 meeting.
'Dunigh no Republican candi
dates were asked to participate in the impromptu forum, Proffitt said she would welcome anyone who wished to address the Senate.
Asked about the partisanship of the Senate, Proffitt made no statem ent on party affiliation but said that education issues which concern IUPU1 students are likew ise a concern of the Senate.
Representatives from Phi Mu sorority and Delta Sigma Phi fraternity also addressed the
X , 1
Senate and noted each organisa
tion's w illingness "to support the strong growth of a Qreek system on the IUPU1 campus."
Also, Wayne Olson and Sue Moenius from Metropolitan In
dianapolis Campus Ministry presented a resolution to the Senate seeking its endorsement of an AIDS Awareness Week at IUPUI to be field the week of
18 23
Senate will vote on the resolution at its next meeting.
In other Senate business, the Senate unanimously voted to support a course survey to be completed by faculty members.
The information, gathered by Disabled Student Services, will be available for all students, ac
cording to Linda Proffitt
The survey asks for professors to list information such as courses which utilise mars lec
ture than reading, the types of exams given, and number of tests per sem ester.

The cutoff date for the dis

ference in the case last Tuesday.

formation exchange between the parties in a lawsuit.
Although no specific trial date was set, the matter was tenta
tively discussed and could be set

Waples and Judith T. Kirtland are representing Stanley D. Mil
ler, a member of the Metros soc
cer team last fall and the cur
rent sports editor for the Sagamore. Miller filed a com
plaint with the ICLU last Sep
tember over the university's policy of mandatory drug testing of student athletes at IUPUI.

At the pretrial conference, the university also agreed again to not re-implement the drug test
ing program until a final resolu
tion of the suit. Susan Tabler, a partner in the local firm of Ice, Miller, Donadio and Ryan, is counsel for the university.
Both sides have described the lawsuit as "friendly" and an at

I A nonym ity 'utterly7 unethical, claims administrator
T o Um E d ito r t ...
F irst, I m u st com plim ent th e T Sagamore. Your college newspa-
p ar h as evolved into a very in- / - _ -v tereeting and much m are enjoy- ( . . L i . . . ) able new spaper . . . On th e oth er V
tHc Cldltor J
hand, 1 m u st now express my u tte r dism ay and abhorrence to th e article you published in your M arch 14 issue en titled “E thics in Medical Field U nder F ire “
I found it ironic to have read your article about ethics in m ed
icine in th e very sam e issue which carried a story ab o u t the rale o f ethics and honesty in journalism (“M edia D uty To Tell T ru th H ard, Som etim es P a ra doxical).
The article on medical ethics, seemingly based entirely on one so-called expert's conjecture of th e cu rre n t practice o f ethics in medicine, is full of speculation an d u n su b stan tiated opinions.
After reading th is article, I can un d erstan d why your “expert on medical ethics” w anted “to be quoted w ithout attrib u tio n .”
Is not one of th e essential roles
of th e e th id s t to stan d back and ofTer a n objective an aly sis of a complex situ atio n a n d therefore encourage a m eaningful an d open dialogue o f th e issues?
Indeed, if th is is th e e th id s t’s role, how can th is possibly occur when th e e th id s t agrees to ex
pound only u n d er th e condition of g u aran teed anonym ity, such as th e case in yo u r M arch 14 a r ticle?
I would be a s guilty o f in tellectual dishonesty as your medical ethics “expert* if I stated th a t physicians never routinely ad m in ister m orphine in increasing dosages th a t ultim ately, an d by intention, re su lt in killing the patient.
I do not preten d to know how physicians, as a whole, are reacting to th e very difficult
situations w hen th e ir patien ts a re hopelessly term inal.
The point I am m aking is th a t I did not read any evidence in your article which dem onstrates your expert “e th id s t” h ad a ccess to p h y sid an s and/or dying p atien ts' fam ilies which would su b stan tiate the statem en ts which are a ttrib u te d to him /her in your article.
Unless a n d until this revela
tion is m ads, I th in k the read ers o f th e Sagamore should not be misled into believing they are reading a responsible and well- researched new spaper article.

. Child abuse prevention article and agency suggested
T o t h e E d ito r ;
This le tte r concerns the Mon
day’s view ofTered by 8ylvia C unningham in th e Feb.15 issue of the Sagamore. Sylvia, the opinion you expr essed, I had heard before a n d it concerns me.
You m ention s tric ter law s for child ab u sers a few tim es and m ention th a t child ab u sers suf
fer from stress.
There is much more going on h ers. Remember, child abusers were once victim s them selves.
Taking a child aw ay from h er o r his abusive p a re n t m ay save physical health , b u t being tossed between foster homes, still
abuses m ental an d em otional health.
These children will still have no answ er to the sim ple q u es
tion, “who loves me?*
It is difficult to know w hat child is abused an d w h at p aren t abuses.
If we could magically know for certain who was doing th e ab u s
ing we still wouldn’t be in a position to help.
W hat kind o f real help for th e child an d p aren t is offered?
Do we have a hotline w here a mom about to hit, can call before she hits?
M any m others have no relief from th e ir children. They ca n 't afford child care and they may
have husbands th a t abuae them.
Let’s p u t ourselves in the o th er person’s shoes before we judge.
I suggest an article featuring Indianapolis’ social program s. It could include w hpt is available in fires c h i l d c a r e , p r o g r a m s available before th e abuse h ap pens.
I have a feeling the article m ay expose a lade of before abuse help.
We have been tra in ed to say,
“O h, myi T h a t’s horrid.” We then p u t aw ay w hat is not to be seen. Let’s really tak e cars of th e children and help those who w an t to love, do it properly.

are 'b ig' issue;
updated program urged
T l he Issue of cttld care resurface* i t IUPUI this week as students wfth emaB children reg
ister and prepare for future sem esters.
We want to remind the newly appointed commit
tee (under Student Affairs) looking Into child care, that child care will become mom pressing as a higher percentage of older students enroll at IUPUI.
Dean of Student Affairs Timothy Langston and other members of the administration have In their offices presentations from the Staff Council, Faculty Council, the Department of Women’s Studies and the School of Nursing which detail the need for a stronger child care program here.
Students who have sought expansion of child care services are still waiting.
Others have gone to other agendas.
Others have been unable to enroll because of this defidency in IU PUl’s structure.
The problem persists.
After the committee convenes to determine the future of child care at IUPUI, the problems of devel
opment and location remain. How much time win this take?
We urge me committee and the university to begin immediate action to help those who try to themselves by furthering their education.
Though It may Involve little’ people, to the dents on this campus, child care is a big issue.

University Access Center: 'with your horizons in mind'
fl^ lo n d a y 'g V ie w ) C
By Sylvia Cunningham jI entered the building cautiously. My reserve was up an d I m u st ad m it I carried a bit c f a chip on my shoulder.
W hat type o f program, 1 thought, w ould this tu rn out to bet
As I ru sh ed from class to my destin a
tion — th e Access Program a t 38th stree t
— I decided th a t th is was not my idea of a program acceasible to students.
E ntering th e back door, I realized th a t th e building h ad a t one tim e been a charm ing little home, and I wondered who it h ad belonged to. The receptionist, who was friendly enough, introduced me to th e program ’s director, Nancy Oberg- fell.
Once eeated, I im m ediately declared my reason for being there; to do a story.
Then, I told h e r of my experience as a stu d en t in th e U niversity D iviaon’s H ELP program .
The H ELP program h as since dis
appeared. The U niversity Access C enter is rum ored to have displaced HELP.
There were more th a n a few people th a t w eren’t pleased w ith th a t move.
Obergfell began explaining th e services offered by the Access Program , which range from testing, placem ent, advising and personal counseling.
We discussed in length one of the key points of academic success — self esteem . The 31 stu d en ts now enrolled in th e pro
gram will sr\joy th e benefit of personal counseling which is tailored to instill confidence; th is goes h an d in h an d w .’h th eir academic counseling.
/ flit m y g u a rd dropping.
Obergfell gave me some of the m aterials each stu d en t receives upon e n terin g th e Access C enter. A brightly-
pam phlet which
orange and red sun with th e Access C en
te r caption and logo re a d ir* ’University Access C enter: “w ith your horizons in m ind.”
The m aterial explains who is eligible to enroll i t th e program ; th e prospective college stu d en t referred from the com
m unity, IUPU1, surrounding school dis
tricts, and other post-secondary schools Obergfell filled me in on th e other goals of the center, which include evaluating dbadsmic stren g th s and weakn sesss in reading, m ath, an d writinx.
The students work a t th e ir own pace, an d a re advised an w hat routes to taka which would help them succeed in college-level work.
Prom the enthusiasm displayed, 1 could tell th a t th is program would m eet the needs of the many stu d en ts who have the potential, bu t lack the academic stren g th s o r confidence to pursue it alone.
It h a d m y nod o f approval!
In preparing th e stu d en ts far collage bfe a t IUPUI, three excursions have been m ade to inform them a t locations and services a t th e Michigan S tree t campus.
Since its beginning, in Ja n u a ry , they
have visited tha W riting Center. P a r t i a l Services, and the Education Building's com puter d u s te r.
They will also learn im portant pro
cesses, such as registration and library I questioned Obergfell as to w hether sh e thought th is was too much help, and stu d en ts m ight use it as a crutch?
She replied with the rem ark. We pro
vide the support when it’s most needed.
N ear the end af the program the s tu dents will find they are capable of doing things on th eir own. We gradually pull away, so they can stan d on th eir corn.
Their brochure says in essence,*Our mission is to help you, today, help your
self to a brighter tomorrow. Let’s talk about i t "
Though it’s a sad com mentary an today’s educational system, this program will undoubtedly see tremendous growth in the n ea r fu tu re from graduating high school students. It’s also there far those who have been out of the educational system for some time. The m ost comfort
ing thought of all though, is th a t i l ’s I Acre.
Women's Studies deprives them of traditional learning
(G u e s t
V By CareBy Carol lannone

If anyone h ad proposed, some three decades ago, th a t women speak a special female language, o r create a r t in special fem ale farm s, ho would probably M s*
been greeted by educated people with anything from indignation to derision.
If someone h ad a rg u ed th a t th ere was a distinct fem ale trad itio n in fields such as history, logic, philosophy, theology, and th e sciences, he simply would not have been ta k en seriously by th e academic community.
Yet these a re precisely th e prem ises of th e Women’s S tudies program s th a t have proliferated a t nearly every college in the country. Surely th is is one of the most saddening developm ents o f th e counter- cultural upheavals of the 1960’s an d 70’s.
How ironic, th a t d u rin g th e very y ears American women were encouraged to es
tablish id en tities beyond gender restric
tions, en tire fields of knowledge wore deliberately splintered off a n d gender- ized.
Before the fem inist era, gender was a term th a t governed certain (albeit, cru cial) aspects of life; in th e fem inist era, gender governs evsTything.
Unlike genuine academic disciplines, Women's S tudies h as n eith sr a distinc
tive methodology nor subject m atter.
W hat it does have is the assertion th a t eex an d gander a re such im p o rtan t fac
tors, in so m any areas, th a t they deserve to be studied as such.
Women’s S tudies is “interdisciplinary*
— it crosses the d ep artm en tal lines of history, litera tu re, political sdenoo and sociology. B ut it challenges th e tra d i
tional teachings o f thoss disciplines, and even th e way th ey search for knowledge.
Surely no one believes th a t fem inist science will produce fem inine su b m arines; some of us, ap parently, believe th a t there is fem inine language an d fem inine m orality. These assertions are u n proven, and p erh ap s unprovable, an d so, a t its core, Women’s S tudies is an ideol
ogy-
The typical Women’s Studies stu d en t is a young woman. If she is a t all curious about h erself and the world, she should expect from h er professors an introduc
tion to th e g reat books an d ideas of the W estern tradition.
Instead, W omen's studies teaches h er th a t the W estern tradition is not h er tr a dition, th a t she is an outsider an d o vic
tim trap p ed in an ‘au th en tic life.” E x horted to tak e control of h er experience by avoiding hegemonic “male* discourse, she i t told to avoid “defining” and *niun- ing.” (as i.‘ you could take control o f an y th in g w ithout defining an d nam ing.)
Women’s S tudies tra p s its stu d en ts — w hether they know it a t th e tim e o r not
— in a ghettoized world of speculation, pseudo-thought, and h alf-truths.
These educational “reforms’ h ad not y et taken hold a t Fardham U niversity, where I took my B.A. some years ego.
For this, I am unspeakably g rate fill. I still recall the excitem ent I felt, entering college as a young woman from a working-class background, discovering the tre asu re s o f the W estern tradition
and realising th a t they were mine.
I entered a special place in which race, eex, nationality, an d background dim inished in im portance neat to the qualities of nund needed to pursue the tru th . If anyone h ad presumed to
“liberate” me by channeling me into the study of Ttalian-A m erican life, ” or
“blue-collar fife,” or “female-life,” he or she w ould have been depriving me of one of th e g reatest opportunities of my exis
tence.
s young Sa Bellow was also called an outsider by those who felt his sense of the English language was not pure enough for literary expression. (H is early languages included C anadian French, Yiddish, Hebrew and English).
Bellow responded by saying ”... to hell w ith th a t. The reason being th a t la n guage is the spiritual mansion in which you live an d nobody h as th e rig h t to ovict you from i t Your possession of it is g u ar
anteed by your devotion to i t ” Similarly, th e W estern tradition does indeed belong to women, to th e extent th a t they exercise the courage and in tegrity necessary to claim i t
W hat is m ost dam aging iz th a t th e more Women's Studies program s thrive, th e more they give the message to the culture a t large th a t women cannot com pete in the real life of the mind, b u t in stead require th e. protection of separate courses.
A friend of mine, whose wife and m other a re both women of accomplish
ment, told me th a t th e first inkling he h ad th a t women m ight actually not bo capable of genuine academic achieve
m ent come from h is perception of w hat was going on in Women's Studies. We women should do everything we can to resist th is latest, intellectual ghetto.
