NYS's Governor Pataki has struck down the budget language that would have
guaranteed women's scholastic ( high school age students) ice hockey in the
'98 summer Empire State Games (ESG). Men's scholastic competition has and
will be part of the summer ESG. Over 6,000 NYS athletes compete as NYS
guests.

In compensation, the Governor has invited both senior and women ice hockey
players to take part in the Winter ESG. This competition is during the
regualar school year and the athletes have to pay for their housing and meals.

Help. SCREAM INEQUITY to Governor Pataki. His e-mail address is
gov.pataki@chamber.state.ny.us.

ASAP our web page will be updated on NYS AAUW advocacy for equity on the ice
at www.northnet.org/nysaauw.ee.htm.

Your particiapation in our equity advocacy is appreciated.
