For many years the Olympic Games have been financed from the pockets of the taxpayers of the host nation. Professor Peter Sloane hails the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics as a breakthrough in the private sponsorship of sport, criticises several of the conclusions of the Report of the Howell Committee, and argues for a relaxation of the rules restricting participation in paid sport.

Football clubs have only themselves to blame for their current financial malaise, highlighted by the recent decision to turn down an exclusive offer for broadcasting right from BBC and ITV. They have refused to acknowledge changes in consumer demand; they have not advertised, nor shifted their grounds to more densely populated areas, and have made no efforts to attract more women to matches. They have cushioned themselves against change at the cost of increasing inefficiency.

Neil MacFarlane, the Sports Minister, is neglecting his job. 'Amateur' sports are accepting commercial sponsorship. Restrictive rules waste resources and exploit the 'amateur' sportsman. Only abolition of the distinction between professional and amateur can create efficient use of sporting skills.

This paper, in addition to exploring the potential impact of the growing HIV epidemic on schools, provides information and suggestions for how educators can become involved in promoting education about AIDS. The epidemic raises a myriad of health and social policy and programming issues which school administrations and communities will confront in the 1990s. Even if a school does not have a person living with AIDS or a seropositive student, it still must educate students about HIV and AIDS as personal health risks and as issues to be dealt with as future leaders in a world facing the tragedy of the epidemic. This paper discusses innovative educational and preventive strategies for schools, including integrating AIDS into the classroom and relating AIDS to other risk-taking behaviours many students practice. Finally, the paper argues that educators and communities must confront their fears and differences and work together, seizing the opportunities offered by this epidemic to help save the lives of youth. RÉSUMÉ Les auteurs de cet article étudient l'incidence potentielle de l'épidémie de VIH sur les écoles. Cette épidémie soulève une pléthore de problèmes de santé et de politique et de programmation sociale qui affecteront les administrateurs scolaires et les écoles dans les années 1990. Même lorsqu'une école ne compte personne que soit atteint du sida ou séropositif, elle se doit d'éduquer les élèves sur le VIH et le sida qui constituent des risques et des problèmes de santé personnels pour les dirigeants futurs d'un monde exposé à cette épidémie. Les auteurs analysent les méthodes éducatives et préventives novatrices dont disposent les écoles, notamment l'intégration du sida dans les enseignements théoriques et la mise en relation du sida et d'autres comportements à risque affichés par les élèves. Enfin, ils soutiennent que les éducateurs et les communautés scolaires doivent aplanir leurs craintes et leurs différends, collaborer ensemble et saisir l'occasion qu'offre cette épidémie d'aider à sauver de jeunes vies.

Compelling and original, this book offers a unique insight into the modern Islamic corporation, revealing how power, relationships, individual identities, gender roles, and practices - and often massive financial resources - are mobilized on behalf of Islam. Focusing on Muslims in Malaysia, Patricia Sloane-White argues that sharia principles in the region's Islamic economy produce a version of Islam that is increasingly conservative, financially and fiscally powerful, and committed to social control over Muslim and non-Muslim public and private lives. Packed with fascinating details, the book is essential reading for anyone with an interest in Islamic politics and culture in modern life. Provides unprecedented access to the inner workings of major corporations run by leading Muslim business executives. Presents insights into managerial policies and experiences rarely seen in Muslim settings through behind-the-scene look at the day-to-day workplace practices of corporate personnel. Insights into religious practices in a modern corporate economy are presented in their most modern guise. Explores and presents the philanthropic and charitable giving practices that fund Islamic activities, offering a new look at 'corporate social responsibility' which allows readers to develop an understanding of how money is mobilized in corporate life for advancing the cause of Islam and Islamization. -- Provided by publisher
