Gary Curran. spokesman for the Of fice for Civil Rights of the U.S. Department of Education in Washington, D.C., said they Univer sity could be penalized for its failure to meet the enrollment goals. Curran said that at the end of the 1987-88 school year, Penn State will submit a final report on the success or failure of its plan. The Office for Civil Rights will then reviewed it. Once the facts are compiled, he said. his office has the option of making any number of recom mendations to the state. They include: • Agreeing that Penn State or any school not meeting the goals is or is not in compliance with Title VI. • Telling the school to modify its plan and offer it an extension. • Requiring schools to submit new plans. "The ultimate sanction," he said, "is to say ( the school i is not in compliance and then go to enforce ments." At that level. Curran explained, one of two things could happen: The Office for Civil Rights Philadelphia in comparison to State College. Marylln Boswell, University associate professor of mathematics, said the failure to meet the goals probably won't cause much reaction "I doubt it will have much of an affect on the University community because too many people aren't concerned enough with it."

Speaking of any possible state action, Cartw right said, "That's not anything we can know at this time." William Asbury. vice president for student serv ices, said no possibility exists for sanctions against the University. At this point. they would only be assessed against the state, he added.

Neurosurgeons willing to operate despite AIDS risks By CLAUDE lOSSO Associated Press Writer BALTIMORE Four out of five neurosurgeons say they would per form biopsies on AIDS patients. despite the increased risk they might face as the number of AIDS patients grows, according to a survey released yesterday. "Neurosurgeons are willing to do what is best for the patient even if it means risk to themselves," said Dr. Peter Black, chief neuro surgeon of the Children's Hospital and Brigham and Women's Hospi tal in Boston, who conducted the survey. Of the 152 neurosurgeons nation wide who responded. 79 percent said they would perform brain biopsies a form of brain surgery that involves taking a sample of tissue in order to diagnose disease on acquired immune deficiency syndrome patients despite the risk of exposure to the AIDS-causing virus. More than 90 percent said they would perform a biopsy if they knew that their action would lead to a diagnosis that could change a patient's treatment and improve the chance of survival or cure. At present, there is no cure for AIDS.

The federal Centers for Disease Control's revised definition of AIDS. released several months ago, includes patients whose ner vous systems are affected by the human immunodeficiency virus as well as those whose immune sys tems are affected. This expanded definition nifi cantly increases the number of people diagnosed with AIDS, esti mated at 30,000 in 1986 by the CDC, said Dr. Robert Levy, professor of neurology and physiology at the Northwestern University Medical Center in Chicago. The CDC estimated the changed definition would increase the num ber of people diagnosed with AIDS by 15 percent a "profound un derestimate," according to Levy . In 1991, the CDC estimates that 145,000 Americans will have AIDS. Based on his experience with AIDS victims in San Francisco, Levy said neurosurgeons would have to perform about 7,000 neuro logical biopsies on AIDS patients in that year. Although the risk of AIDS-virus infection for neurosurgeons will increase with the number of oper ations on AIDS patients, Levy said it would only be about one in 5 million.
