Title IX is one of the 1972 Amendments to the Higher and Secondary Education Act which prohibits sex discrimination in any educational program or activity receiving federal funds The University receives federal funding. - In my opinion,4.,tlfe guidelines of the title inclicKe , if the University assisteratit - organization in a substantial way in locating off-campus housing for students, it would ha% e to assume respon sibilities. To be sure there is an equal number of facilities and an equality of facilities," Murphy said. This would include in spection of facilities, he added. • I think it 'is inappropriate for the University to get in volved in this, because the borough has a housing in spector," Murphy said. ' This service would cost a great amount of money, he added. "Under Title' IX, secretarial help could be regarded as a substantial support relationship, t ' Murphy c said. The regulations concerning sex discrimination have been published by the Department of Health, Education and `Welfare (HEW) in the Federal Register as proposed guidelines for the im plementation of Title IX. According to Murphy, schools have 90 days to react to the proposed guidelines. HEW will then consider the responses and formulate the final guidelines, he added. When the guidelines become effective depends on HEW. but "it will come into effect sooner than a year," Murphy predicted. - University President John K. Oswald sent a letter to HEW outlining the Univer sity's reactions. "The letter called for a greater clarification of sbme phrases Like 'substantial relation ships'." Murphy said. "Title IX has nothing to do with Associated Studqnt Activities funding of OTIS-,l' Murphy emphasized. OTIS President Thomas "Doc" Sweitzer said, "OTIS used the - University secretaries quite a bit this past summer to mail out the housing lists." OTIS might need the secretaries much less this car because students are aware of the housing crunch and will be looking for apartments earlier, Sweitzer Students on the work-study program are used during term breaks and could be used in the summer to do the mailing. he added. Sv‘eitzer predicted it will be al least three years before Title IX comes in effect. Each point will be tested in court he said. "I don't think there will be any immediate problems," Sweitzer said.

Tuna repo WASHINGTON (UPI) Americans, who devour' more canned tuna than any other people in the world, are worried, river- reports-that rodent hairs and insect parts have been showing up in some of the 5.5 billion cans sold to them every year. The Food and Drug Administration reports that its field offices have been besieged with telephone calls and letters since last week's disclosures by Consumers Union. What got lost in the controversy is the basic fact that neither the FDA nor the Consumers Union, which conducted and published the tests, believes there is anything dangerous or unhealthy about the situation. However unappealing the idea may be, the minutepresence of these foreign objects is "just an. esthetic consideration," in the words of one CU spokeswothan. The FDA issued a press release saying basically the same thing = that it had "no reason to doubt the general safety and sanitary condition of canned tuna." The agency, in other words, was not denying there might be some contaminants present just saying it really did not make any difference. CU. which publishes the magazine "Consumer Reports," Bulletin endorses Shapp,. Schweiker PHILADELPHIA (AP) With some reservations, the Philadelphia Sunday Bulletin endorsed Gov. Shapp in his re-election bid and Sen. Richard Sehweiker was lia&ked by the Bulletin and the Sunday Inquirer in his bid Your Life Style Do we have sweaters!

Shapp got the income tax through and persuaded a mediocore and fractious legislature to accept orderly budgeting procedures," the Bulletin said in its editorial, blaming Pennsylvania's Lester s scare public collected the canned tuna from' store shelves around the country. A total of 312 samples of 52 brands from 16 major distributors were tested. Only brands from three of the distributors were found free of contaminants. Those three brands are "Grand Union," "Geisha" and "Empress." CU said, however, that only small quantities of those brands had been sampled and the fact nothing was found did not guarantee that a wider sampling would have produced similar negative results. Among the samples which showed contaminants, one contained part of a fly maggot; others contained rat hairs as long as three-fifths of an inch, as well as pieces of feather. CU said' tuna is still a good source of protein and is high in vitamins, iodine. flourine and phosphorus. It also is a good bargain compared to frankfurters, bologna or pork chops in terms of price per pound, the organization said. Abe Kleks, head of the FDA's Los Angeles district office, told UPI the agency went out and bought 36 cans from various manufacturers after the CU disclosures but found nothing unusual. lie admitted, however, that the sample was a ran dom one and did not produce a difinitive conclusion. legislature for many of the gos ernor's problems.
