Carter wanted a bill. with a maxi- .mum of $20 million. But, HEW Sec, retary Joseph Califano, certain White House adVJsors and staff and · the Congress wanted the ~(igintlllorr- bil! because of the services it would have provided. The Senate passed its version of the bi11, S2416, by a unammous voice vote; the House passed the bill HR12303, by a vote of 393 to 12' almost unammous. ' How does this square with .Mr. Carter's "human rights" platform when by his veto action he is deny- mg the American people the ser- vices of nurses who would be pre- ~ared under the force of this legisla- t10n? And JS not providing health care one of his platforms also? Is the president's action discrimi- natorv? Surely, the world knows that the nursing profession is composed al- most entirely of women; and that this group comprises the bulk of workers in the entire health field . Yet, the president approved funding for schools of medicine, dentistry, opto~etry, pharmacy, podiatry and veterinary medicine, all f!eJds which are predominantly male. No other · interpretation but sexual discrimina- tion on the part of the president can be applied. In addition, studies indi- cate there 1s a surplus of physicians. The president in his limited wis- dom, saw fit to veto a bill which had the overwhelming support of both Houses of Congress, as well as his secretary of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare on the grounds that tbe measure :.Vas inflationary, and which affected pri- marily women. Three days later this same presi- dent asks for $2 billion for civil

''I would go to school, then work as a lifeguard at South Bay beaches until foot- ball practice at the high school,'' he recalled. "The hlgh school practice would end at 5, then I would drive a hall hour to Ontario for the Pop W practice. "I was driving 360 s a day, and it isn't something I would recommend any- body trying." He Joined the Toreros as offensive back- field and special teams coach in 1973, and became head coach in 1976 when Dick Logan resigned. His vltahty for the game carries over to his players "I tell them not to ever totally grow up," Williams said, "but to keep a little bit on the boy in them." The Toreros practice at night, allowing students to put their school work first. "School comes first," Williams said "If a player has a class or lab that conflicts with football practice, he g s to class." His best recruiters are hi players, who take prospective athletes under theJr wmg. When you don't offer scholarships, and an athlete n ds a 3.0 gra average to enter school, recruiting ran be a chal- lenge "When I'm talking to a nclidate, I ask him to look at three Ihm in the SChools he's considering," Williams said. "Aca- demic standing, do you ijke the area the school's located and are you going to get a chance to play.' Not surprisingly, those are th three big reasons Williams has been abJe to lure the 74 players now on the roster to USO "I just kilow it's possible to run a good, clean, honest Division 3 football program - I Just know · :· he said, once again bouncing up from behmd his desk "And I'll be damned if we aren't going to do,lt"

"We· know our players are out there be ause th y want to be," William said. "Our play rs are self-motivated. •They understand what many others ver realize - that bemg an athlete 1s not nough" Flv of the Toreros' seven parttlme 1 ant coach s are graduates of the ool, and William , at 28, is the elder statesman of the coaching staff. 'Our coach s g t right down to earth wllh the players." Williams said. "In coaching, It's not how much coach kn11ws, but bow he transfer:; the informa- llon Our kids are prepared so, regardless of th score, they come away winners."

The Olympics are fraught with pitfalls ranging from financing, to facilities, to housing, to security. . In other words, it's gomg to be a monstrous task If the Olympics go off smooth- ly, the achievement v ll be monumental, but the public will take it for granted. However, everytime any- thing goes wrong-and you can expect many blunders - the critics will be looking for someone to blame. Rozelle always has been an opportunist, certainly not the kind of man you would expect to step into an

Witness hls escape from Baltimore and h Colts' tyrannie; , <:a lc10us owner, Robert Irsay Thomas will have to be a magician, though, to save face in San Francisco, where he has made one nustake after another. In the past, his deplorable sense of publi<: relations w~ offset by his ability to build wmning football te m Minnesota Miami and Baltimore. He seems to have lost that touch with the 49ers, but he e;-ontinue:; to step or. people the way he did m the good o!d days If that s not bad enough Thomas has become thin-skinned. The latest example of that came during Mond~) night's nationally televised game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and San Francisco. The crowd greeted the woeful 49ers with many deprecating signs, but the one that really got to Thomas read: "Blame Joe Thomas • Rather than ignvring it someone in the 49ers' family- I wonder who - ordered the sign confiscated berause of "the wrong use of terms " I agree that the wording was faulty. "Fire Joe 1'homas" would have reflected the mood of the crowd tnuch more accurately. I recently reported that 'llational City's Debbie Hernan- ez had been chosen to rompete in judo for the Un ted States in the Pan Amencan Games in Mexico City It was a great honor for the 14-year-old , but there was a problem - she didn't have the money to pay her w_ay. Happily, some San Diegans did step forward to pie~ up the expenses and Debbie returned from the competition with a gold medal, which the American team won The proud Hernandez family would like to say thanks for the elp.

Babies Join Mom On Job Two San Diego moth- ers, Kathlyn Ebert and Anita Simons, have come up with one solu- tion for working moth- ers - take the babies to work. Ebert, at right, withher promising young typist daughter, Corinne, 4 months, and Simons, being observed by 3- month-old Stephanie, above, essentially share the same parttime job each day at the Patient Advocacy Program at the University of San Diego's Law Institute.
