Reform proposals
Article Abstract:
Colleges may be pressured to institute reforms in their sports policies, especially where women are concerned. Issues involved in sports reform are athletic scholarships, sports programs, top-level competition for women and spending for uniforms and equipment. Despite discussions on sports reform by the National Collegiate Athletic Association and concerned groups, not much has been accomplished. If colleges do not take the initiative, then federal governments, the Department of Education or the Office of Civil Rights should institute these reforms to comply with Title IX of the 1972 Educational Amendments.

Current copyright law requires copyright-holders to register their copyright before they can sue for infringement. The Copyright Reform Act of 1993 would remove this requirement. Is this a good idea?
Article Abstract:
Debate over the Copyright Reform Act of 1993 centers around the ability to sue for infringement on non-registered materials. The Software Publishers Assn claims that the software industry is too busy developing products to worry about registering, and they need to be able to sue software pirates regardless of the copyrighted status of the materiel pirated. Opponents of the Act claim that the Library of Congress will no longer have access to the nation's cultural and intellectual history because they receive most of their free deposit copies through copyright registration.

Quayle's reform initiative
Article Abstract:
VP Dan Quayle, in a speech to the ABA on Aug 1991, announced 50 proposals that would effectively reform the civil justice system in favor of businesses. Most of theitems put forward by the Council on Competitiveness (COC), which Quayle heads, met criticisms from lawyers. In response, the ABA released its own model for enhancing the legal system, addressing inadequate access and underfunding problems of the current system. Despite the criticisms, Quayle and other government officials refused to reconsider their stand on the issue.
