The women's soccer club recently
filed a sex discrimination suit with the
federal Office of Civil Rights against the
University in a last-ditch attempt to gain
varsity status.
Tim Conley, the soccer club coach and
adviser, said the University is in
violation of Title IX because Penn State
does not have a women's varsity soccer
program even though it has one for men.
The governing principle behind Title
IX, a federal law, is that male and
female athletes should receive equal
treatment, benefits and opportunities in
federally-funded programs and in
stitu lions.
In a statement released by the
University, the administration said its
decision to deny the club varsity status is
based solely upon budgetary con
siderations and the fact that the club is a
women's team was not a factor.
Athletic director Joe Paterno said
there is not room in the athletic budget
for another varsity team.
"I'm thinking about cutting back, and
I'm not even giving thought to adding,"
Paterno said. "We've got budgetary
problems. It would be impossible for me
to add (varsity teams )."
The women's soccer club, established
in 1977, has asked the University for
varsity status and accompanying funds
twice in the past two years, and both
times it was turned down.
If the club does not become a varsity
team through the suit, it may be forced
to disband because of lack of funds,
Conley said.
Conley is the club's only coach and is
not paid. He said he spends about 25
hours a week working with the club, as
well as traveling with the club to all

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) Ray Tolbert' and
Landon Turner provided the muscle and Isiah
Thomas applied the moxie yesterday to give In
diana a 78-46 victory over St. Joseph's, Pa., and sent
the Hoosiers into their fifth Final Four appearance.
'Thomas had 12 assists and 8 points to spearhead
an Indiana offense that has grown rich with ef
ficiency.
"At the beginning of ,the year, Isiah was a bit
reluctant to say 'This is the way we're going to do
it.' But that reluctance has dissipated over the
season," said Indiana coach Bobby Knight, who will
try for his second NCAA title as a coach in the past
five years next weekend in Philadelphia.
"Isiah has done a great job taking over," Knight
said. "If you're going to be good, this (leadership)
has'to come from somebody on the floor. By doing
this, Isiah not only made the team better, but it
made him a better player, too."
Turner, who fouled out with 11:12 to play and

dominated the inside, holding a 33-21 rebounding
edge.
away games.
Conley said the athletic department
has been getting a bargain the last two
years because the women's soccer club
has been competing on par with other
varsity teams, despite a lack of funds
from the University.
"For the past two years, the
University has gotten a varsity team for
nothing," he said. "We are a varsity
team in every way except for name and
funds. We have an off-season and a fall
regular season, with practices five days
a week."
He said the future of the club depends
on it attaining varsity status.
"If they're not varsity, the ( leam
couldn't compete in AIAW regional or
national championships," Conley said.
"They won't have adequate medical
attention or facilities. There will be no
paid coach, and quite possibly, no coach.
There would be no high school recruits."
It is difficult to estimate exactly how
much a women's varsity soccer
program would cost because most of the
expense would depend on the coach and
his salary. But Conley estimated it
would cost about 0.6 percent of the total
athletic budget.
"Paterno said what
. we were asking
for is peanuts," dub president Elvira
Falsetta said. "They tell us we require
such a little bit, but then they tell us we
can't have it."
Paterno said the fact that it is a
women's club seeking varsity status has
nothing to do with the University's •
decision. .
"Obviously, we are completely
committed to women's athletics," he
said. "It's not a sexist thing; I resent
that.
"If we had six-tenths of 1 percent in
the black, I'd give it to them. We just

Lion started the scoring
punching across a 20-footer at 2:41 of they
first quarter. The Engineers spent most
of the period trying to clear the ball out
of their end and were unable to set up
any kind of offense.
After Penn State goals by Tim
Flanagan and John Schmitt, the Lions
successfully killed off a penalty to Ken
Panzer and quickly took advantage of
back-to-back power plays with two goals
by Starapoli.
The second quarter was more of the
same as Penn State continually con
verted Lehigh penalties into scores.
Turri scored all three of his goals in the
period, including one at 9:29 that
featured a slick hot potato exchange by
And Turner, a 610 junior, and Tolbert, a 6-9
senior, were the men who so stymied St. Joseph's
offense that the Hawks came away with a 33 percent
field goal mark for the game.
At the same time, Turner hit 7-of-8 shots and
Tolbert 6-of-8 to contribute to Indiana's 68.6 field
goal percentage.
"Tolbert's play has been excellent," Knight said.
"There's no doubt in my mind that he was the Most
Valuable Player in the Big Ten this year. His play
from the beginning of the conference season was
instrumental in us winning the championship."
Knight won his only other NCAA title in 1976,
beating Michigan 86-68. Next Saturday, his Hoosiers
will face LSU, which rolled over Wichita State 96-85
Sunday in the Midwest title game, in the semifinals
of the Final Four.
The loss ended the Cinderella•story of the Hawks,
whose stunning 49-48 upset of top-ranked DePaul in
the regionals got them to Bloomington.

Arthur Ciervo, director of public in
formation and relatipns for the
University, said: `"l'here's not much
. money to go around. Any sport that tried
to get funding right now would not get it.
It will be a long time before any other
team becomes varsity here."
Conley argued that every men's
varsity team at Penn State has a com
parable women's team except football
and wrestling. The soccer club saw the
suit, based on a charge of sexual
discrimination, as the only alternative.

timeout, and the rest of the period was
all Penn State. Panzer brought the

Final Four appearance in 1961. "But Indiana's such
a terrific defensive team, baskets are hard to come
by."
• The Indiana defenders so beleagured St. Joe's
that the Hawks found themselves down by 16 points
with the game less than 17 minutes old.
"When you fall behind very early like we did, any
kind of a spread offense becomes that much less
effective," Lynam said.
Guard Randy Wittman had all 8 of his points
before the half, and he sat out the second half, as
Knight rested his starters for the trip to
Philadelphia.
Jim Thomas replaced Wittman and scored 10 of
his 12 points after intermission. Isiah Thomas added
8 points, but it was his ballhandling and leadership
that paid off for Big Ten champion Indiana, 24-9.

Conference, was trying for its second Final Four

NEW ORLEANS CAP) Scoring 14 straight
points midway through the first half, Louisiana
State opened a commanding lead and rolled over
Wichita State 96-85 behind a brilliant performance
by forward Rudy Macklin in the NCAA Midwest
Regional finals yesterday.
Wichita State held a narrow lead through early
stages of the game and battled LSU on even terms
in the first six minutes of the game.
But Macklin hit a 12-foot jumper to start the 14-0
scoring spree and capped it with a stuff shot at 10
minutes into the contest. He had six points in the
binge, while center Greg Cook, who finished with 19
points, had four.
Macklin, who ended up with 21 points and 10
rebounds, suffered a cut finger on his right hand
with 10:13 left in the game and an LSU spokesman
said the injury will require stiches. .
LSU substituted liberally througout the contest,
playing 10 men in the first half .
University has the capabilities to expand
its varsity program, the University will
have another 90-day period, which would
end around Sept. 30, to negotiate funds
for an extra varsity team. If the
University decides it still does not want
to grant the club varsity status, the
University can take the matter to court,
Garven said.
Both Paterno and Ciervo said it is too
early to tell whether the University
would take the matter to court if that
should happen.
By the time the University decides
whether or not to take the case to . court,
the women would be in the middle of
their fall season. Conley said a fall
season must be declared for a varsity
team well ahead of time. •
"We didn't want to have conflicts with
the University," Falsetta said. "We
didn't want to start trouble,' but I think
we messed ourselves by waiting too
long."
The club has established itself as a
good team in its past two seasons. It
posted an 8-5 record this past fall,
playing both varsity and club
teams. Last year, Penn State was the
only club team invited to the Eastern
AIAW regional tournament. At an indoor
tournament last winter, the club beat
Cortland State, the outdoor national
champion, and the club • also toured
England last May and June. The
members of the club paid all of their own
expenses.
"They're a very good team," said
Anna Rush, the women's soccer coach at
Cortland State. "(The club) definitely
deserves varsity status, and Penn State •
does, too. They have a high caliber of
play, and are certainly ready to be a
varsity team.
"We have beaten varsity teams by
"The defense played really well,
although I'm not sure we were really
tested," Thiel said.
Although Guterding had to make only
five saves for Penn State, Thiel said his
goalie's light workout would not effect
the defense against Syracuse.
"We'll get plenty of work in practice,"
Thiel said.
Turri said the Lions will have no
trouble coming off Saturday's easy win
to face the Orangemen.
"Everybody Knows who Syracuse is,"
he said.

game. We want to keep them on our yk‘
schedule whether they are varsity or .
club."
Penn State boasts 31 intercollegiate . !
men's and women's varsity teams, one
of the largest programs in the country.
But in recent years, Paterno said, -
money hasn't flowed quite as freely
through the athletic department as in the '' t ''
past.
"Between 1968-1975, that's eight years,
we went to seven major (football) ,
bowls," Paterno said. "In the last five
years, we've gone to one major bowl. :
That's where we get our appreciable
amount of money. We have diminishing
income and increased sports. Costs are''
going up. All varsity sports get grant-in
aids, even rifle."
. Besides, club dues from each of its 40- ,
50 members, the club is partially sup- ,
ported by funds that are appropriated to .
all clubs by the Association of Student .4
Affairs.
"As a club, they received major ,
funding. It's comparable to ice hockey,"
~
said Vance McCullough, head of club
funds appropriation. "Currently,
women's soccer receives about less than
25 percent of what they need to run a
varsity sport."
The men's and women's volleyball
~
teams were granted varsity status in
1976, the' last varsity teams the
University approved. Men's volleyball
coach Tom Tait said the club funds the
men's team received were ap
proximately 10 percent of its varsity 44 "
budget. Gaining varsity status, even
when there was a lot more money in the
athletic budget than there is now, was
not easy, Tait said.
"It was not a fun process; it was a
very difficult time," he said.

Martin, 'Star'
find 5 lucky
against.Lehigh'
By 808 GROVE
Daily Collegian Sports'Writer
Moments before the first half of the!
men's lacrosse game ended Saturday,.
Lehigh defenseman Brian McGuinness.*,
walked over to the official scorer's table'
and inquired about the score of the
game.
"It's 11-0," he was told. McGuinness
-
just shook his head in frustration.
His team was taking a beating, and
Penn State attackers Jay Starapoli and
Gary Martin were much ‘to blame for IF
that.
The pair put on quite a show Saturday
as Starapoli scored five times and'
Martin handed out five assists to pace:
the Lions' 23-9 opening-game romp.
Their performance was good enough:
to make Penn State coach Glenn Thiel 16
smile after the game.
"They're going to be a good com-
bination," he said. "They weren't tested
that much, so they probably . thad more
points than natural.
"But they both played very Well. They '
really Complement each other because t
Gary's a good feeder, and 'Star'. .he
was just putting the shots in the goal
today."
That's probably what Lehigh goalie
Steve Schmitz was saying after the
game, too.
Starapoli beat him for Penn State's f ,
fourth goal of the game at 10:28 of the
first period. The 6-4 sophomore scored
his second goal of the game just 1:48
later after taking a perfect pass in the
crease from Martin, who was positioned
behind the net.
Little did Schmitz know the pair was.
just warming up.
After Martin fed junior Bill Turri for
Turri's second goal of the game at 2:09 of
the second period, he set up Starapoli for
two more goals just 1:17 apart,.
Starapoli scored his fifth goal at 7:39 of
the third period, stretching the Lions'
lead to 14-4. Martin assisted on that goal, 4)
too.
"He's a big man, so it's a little easier
to do," Martin said of feeding Starapoli,
who had 17 goals last season.
Thiel is hoping the two will play a big
part in Penn State's offense this season.
"Starapoli could have had 30 goals last 41
year," he said. "But he was really
inexperienced and didn't have the
confidence.
• "I think he can have big games all the
time this year with (freshman attacker
Tom) Lion and Martin feeding 'him.
They're good feeders and he's gonna get v ,
goals.
Starapoli gave freshman Martin some
of the credit for his performance.
"It was nice (scoring five goals)," he
said, "but playing with Gary Martin
makes it a little easier."
Lehigh first-year coach Pete Von
Hoffman agreed with that assessment. I f!
"We've been doing well together,"
Martin said. "That's what the coach
likes me and (Starapoli) get along
well. Luckily, we're young."
Lucky for Penn State. Unlucky for
people like Brian McGuinness, Steve
Schmitz and Pete Von Hoffman.
'Ozcam ignites Lions in invite win
By STEVE GRAHAM
Daily Collegian Sports Writer
While sitting on the Rec Hall bleachers
41.
saturday, night in front of a few Turkish
speaking folks, some spectators couldn't
help but notice the giggles emanating
from directly behind them. After all, in
the eyes of those people, the public
address announcer for,the championship
match of the Penn State Volleyball In
*Rational was making a slanderous
attempt •to correctly pronounce the last
name of the Lions' Ahmet Ozcam.
Ozcam, you see, is a native of Istanbul,
Turkey, and a new addition to the men's
volleyball team. His contributions to the
team have been manifold, as was
drevidenced Saturday night when he
helped guide the Lions to the tournament
crown by downing BACA of Philadelphia
7-15, 15-10 and 15-8.
And at 7 tonight, he will again lead the
Lions when they take on Pitt in an
Eastern Collegiate Volleyball League•
match at Pittsburgh's Fitzgerald Field
House.
Ozcam will tell you he would like his
last name pronounced "ers-chum." He
will also tell you, as will his friends who
came to watch him play Saturday night,
that the announcer butchered his name
by pronouncing it "ooz-chum," with a
ISheavy emphasis on the "000000 z."
But that's OK with Ozcam. He just
laughs things like that off and goes about
his business intimidating opposing
defenses with his 45-inch vertical leap
and thunderous spikes spikes that are
so hard that one of his Turkish comrades
' ,remarked after an Ozcam kill shot, "Put
an ice cube on it."
Ozcam is a cool customer. In fact,
Penn State head coach Tom Tait will tell
you that, until last week, Ozcam was too
cool. During a game, Ozcam was often
afraid to speak up on the floor for fear
* his teammates might not respect his
judgment.
But thing!i are different now. Last
week at practice, Tait appointed his
outside attacker as floor captain in an
effort to get Ozcam more involved in the
Lions' scheme of things. The result has

been a more emotional, more verbal,
and most importantly, a more intense

"We had to get him to start talking,"
Lion middle blocker Mark Kraynik said.
"He was kind of laid-back."
The Lions were anything but laid : back
during the Invitational, which featured
seven United States Volleyball
Association club teams. In winning six of
eight games in round robin play, Penn
State coasted by Marvol, BACA and
Buffalo-Rochester to advance *to The
semifinals against Meadville.
Loose and free-wheeling, the Lions

wondering how good they are."
It didn't take him long to find out.
Despite a sluggish start, Penn State held
Meadville to one point the rest of the way
in posting a 15-5 win. Patton, being
realistic., said his team didn't stand a
chance of beating the Lions in the best
of-three confrontation.
"They're too young and in too good
condition," Patton said. "I've seen Penn
State three times ( this year). They
really have a nice squad. Tait's really
done a fantastic job here. I knew him
