Campus sexism 'even worse' out of class
(CPS) — College \

college group claimed.
Discrimination aganist female college
students by male faculty and administra¬
tors extends beyond the classroom and
may be more career-damaging than in-
class sex bias, the group's new report
In fact, sex discrimination in financial
aid offices, and in career counseling and
employment centers can cause women to
"lose confidence, lower their academic
goals and limit their academic goals and
limit their career choices," study authors
Roberta M. Hall and Bernice R. Sandler
claimed.
The study, sponsored by the Associa¬
tion of American Colleges' Project on the
Status and Education of Women, fol¬
lowed the same authors' earlier examina¬
tion of college classroom sex bias.
It revealed "things are even worse out¬
side the classroom," when class rules no
longer apply. Hall sa
The earlier study i
favored male studeni

report found career and aca¬
demic counselors often unconsciouslj
discourage women from taking certair
male-dominated majors, and consider mer
more knowledgeable and career-minded.
Counselors and professors also spenc
less time with women students than with
men outside the classroom, and give less
encouragement to women who seek lead¬
ership positions on campus, the study
showed.
"Younger women may enter college
expecting equal treatment," Hall explain¬
ed, "and young women who have never
been employed in the workforce are very
apt not to be aware of the differential
treatment. But they're more likely to be
demoralized by it."
"Most 18-year-old girls don't know
what happened with the women's move¬
ment in the sixties and seventies," agreed
Florence Hall, educator and founder of
New York's Feminist Press. "It's also true
most 18-year-old males don't know what's
going on. The results of the survey didn't
"But it's fascinating that in 1985 we're
seeing a recurrence of some of theall-too-
familiar attitudes that the women's
movement faced in the sixties," she con¬
tinued. "It's eas^ to slip back."
While older women students often are
more sensitive to sexist behavior, and are
consequently better able to survive it,
study author Hall warned subtle discrimi¬
nation can discourage them, too.
"Returning women students very often
have given a great deal of thought to their
If a severe problem persists, such as
financial or counseling discrimination,
students should use campus grievance
procedures or administrative channels,
Hall advised.
"The earlier study sparked a number of
campus-based workshops, programs and
conferences focusing on these issues," she
"The schools that were more concerned
about women did their own studies, and
found students commenting on the chilly
:n outside the classroom."
The comments led to the new study, she
said.
But more than research is necessary,
Florence Hall argued.
Only one-third of all colleges provide
specialized child, health care and crisis
center services, and even fewer offer a full
range of these services," she said.
"It's important we remind ourselves
that the effort to build co-ed education is
not completed," she added.

Grusis, a 1973 graduate of Roosevel
High School, was referred to the prograr
by a helpful math department professor.
"The primary thing I'm
looking for is to just get
my foot in the door."
— Grusis
Grusis may be the epitome of the current
co-op student: he is a re-entry student with
career goals.
Majoring in mathematics and computer
science, he is employed on a part-time
basis by the Dow Chemical Company as a
computer programmer.
He feels that the practical experience he
received in this capacity has proven
invaluable. >
"There are things I've learned at school
through books that, because of the limited
facilities available, 1 didn't have any
hands-on experience," Grusis said.
His classroom training has helped
improve job knowledge and performance
Grusis abandoned the "sunset" occupa¬
tion of real estate in 1979 to eventually
pursue opportunities in the "sunrise"
computer science field.
Although he is aware of fierce com¬
petition for top jobs, he is confident that
with the co-op program he will land the
job he is searching for upon graduation.
"Therearea lot of computer people out
there," he said. "The primary thing I'm
looking for is to just get my foot in the
Grusis "definitely recommends" the
program to a career-minded students.

Black students are
few at CSUF
California State University     Fresno
When Walter Robinson, attended
Fresno State University in 1974, he was
one of 521 black students.
Today, Robinson, an FSU employee
and president of the Black faculty and
Staff organization, is dismayed that there
are only 524 black students.   '
While the FSU enrollment grew from 15
.356 in the fall of 1974 to 16,568 last fall,
the percentge of black students dropped
from 3.6 to 3.4.
Robinson is one of the many black
professionals at FSU who, along with
students and blacks in the community, are
concerned about the lack of progress.
"1 see the university growing, but not
the minority enrollments and particularly
not the black enrollment," said Robinson,
a counselor" in the Educational Oppor¬
tunity Program. .
Sophomore Greg Barfield, president of
the Pan Afrikan Student Union, assesses
the situation tersely: "It's terrible here.
For the last 10 years we've averaged 500
black students a year."
Last year the black enrollment hit its
highest mark of 587 students, but fell this
year by 63 students.
Campus and community blacks say the
FSU statistics reflect a university that
lacks a commitment to increasing black
enrollments.
Specifically, they cite three reasons tor
the static number of black students:
a The lack of a sustained outreach effort
aimed at tbe black community and par¬
ticularly at high school students.

The purpose of the B.S.R.C. is to give

with black faculty, staff and students.
Focus on non-traditional career explora¬
tion and preparing for admission into the
university. While we hope that these stu¬
dents that do come to the B.S.R.C. come
to CSUF, it is also intended for students
interested in career exploration or consid¬
ering enrollment at any other four year
institution.
The Keynote speaker will be Dr. Anyim
Palmer, founder of the Marcus Garvey
School for Alternative Education in Los
Angeles.
The B.S.R.C. will also focus on life here

NEW YORK — An emerging young,
well-educated, politically savvy, militant
leadership among the black majority is
becoming increasingly threatening to the
ruling white minority in South Africa,
threatening to further undermine the coun¬
try's relations with the United States.
"Unless the white regime can make a
reasonable accommodation with the blacks
— not a likely prospect — the U.S. may be
forced by American and international
public opinion to abandon its once pro¬
mising 'constructive engagement' policy
toward South Africa," reports PARADE
magazine Contributing Editor Tad Szulc.
Szulc, who spent a month in South
Africa interviewing senior government
and opposition officals, foreign diplomats
and black and mixed blood leaders and
activist, says he found that the alienation
between the ruling white Afrikaaner minor¬
ity and the repressed black majority "is
erupting into confrontation that could
grow into widespread rebellion against
the whites, if not a full-fledged civil war."
Contending that apartheid, the absolute
separation of the races, cannot survive.
Szulc said that, nevertheless, the govern¬
ment of President Pieter Willem Botha
seems more, determined than ever to en¬
force its laws and regulations, which
include the requirement that all nonwhites
live in separate areas.
Despite a new constitution that was
supposed to broaden democracy, "We are
experiencing increasing political segrega¬
tion and the entrenchment of apartheid,"
John Kane-Berman, director of the South
African Institute of Race Relations in
Johannesburg, told Szulc.
As a result, Szulc said, the black popu¬
lation is now convinced that no conces¬
sions of any kind will be made to it in the
foreseeable future. "They (the blacks) see
no advantage in a free-fn|.erprise system
from which they are largely excluded,"
declared Helen Susman, a leader of South
Africa's white opposition Progressive
Federal Party. "The young are becoming
very radicalized...and sold on Marxist
theory," she said.
The blacks want a new deal," Szulc
reported, "it is the gathering of an awe-
