Many branches or N.O.W. (National Organization of Women) aroui
the country are promoting a nationwide strike of women, "All<
Doesn't Day", set for Oct. 29th. It's generally hoped that the gastui
will demonstrate how Indlspenstble women are to society. What
feel lacking here ls any sense of practical objectives, either
run or Immediate. As it stands, the strike ls only a vaguely define!
slap-dash tactic.
What can we expect from this effort? - that, impressed by tl
high absentee rale for a day, male employers will jump to ralj
women's wages? - or, that the government will be galvanized tnl
ratifying the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA)? Certainly the strll
will have sporadic success, that Is, here and there numbers or wom«
will be conspicuously missing from their places of work. In sorr
Instances, businesses will be Impeded. But, come Oct. 30, It will t
business as usual - same wages, same shlumpy Jobs. "Alice,. . ,
will have heen a flash In the pan.
DtTHIMENTAL
If this action were, at worst, only Innocuous, I wouldn't take lssu
with It. However, It's quite likely to be detrimental to the Women'
Movement. Occasionally, I have wished lhat certain members ofthe
movement had used a bit more craft In presenting their ideologl)
to the public.
One nf the worst fiascos was In '71, or thereabouts, when foi
or five women In a demonstration tossed their bras In a small fire
thereby rejecting the traditional Image or women. I quite sympathize
with the principle, but I wish they had gathered In their backyards
for Ihe event. Predictably enough, the media (and everyone else
hoot) jumped at the chance and labeled all feminists "bra burners."
Under this Irreverent label, activist women were no longei
tn a loose comparison, I submit that A.D. Day may have no better
result. Lasting for only one day, lt can't operate
tactic, but only as an opportunity for self-expression. Here again,
self-expression, en masse, has been useful . . . when carried
years 'as In the Viet Nam War demonstrations). But for a day? No
way. And, because 11 likely to Incur either Irritation, puBzlei

chapters have chosen to recognize the day tnmore directed, posit

the debate has always centered on what, precisely, are Ihe qualifications thai make women Important.

CSUF English Professor Daniel
Brown has written a book about a
•charming rogue" and It's dedicated to Don Quixote, Tom Jones,
Candida and Huckleberry Flnn-
In the picaresque tradition.
"I'm making a satirical comment on contemporary problems
-some (comments) with bite,"
said Brown.
Hla new book, "The Misadventures of Tim McPick,*deals with
. a n-year-oid boy who leaves
college to find the "meaning of
life."
•Tim finds out there's really
no 'big' meaning . . . Just a lot of
little individual ones ... and he
has  to  live   with  them," said
TRUTII JOURNEY
Brown's own "truth" Journey
began In his hometown of Detroit,
Michigan. Detroit has an unfor-
■ tunately bad record for citizen
safety - It has the highest murder rate In the nation, he said.
"But lt Isn't all that bad,"
Brown added.
•I left In 1969 when there were
pressures all over. I felt the need
to get away," Brown said.
It was well for "Tim McPick"
that he did. Brown spent a year
teaching abroad In several Asian
countries through the University
of Maryland Extension. The program was set up to provide military men as well as their families with an opportunity to get
a college education while In the
military.
Brown recalls—somewhat un-
fondly-the days spent onmimer-
ous American bases in places
such as Okinawa, Thailand and
South Vietnam - Isolated rrom
everything.
"The bases just sit in the middle or nowhere," said Brown. "I
did a lot of reading during lhat
The Senate passed a resolution.
Introduced by Kissinger, that the
■Associated Students Senate go on
record as being opposed to mandatory advising."
The resolution was In response
to a recommendation made by the
Academic Planning and Policy
committee that advising be made
mandatory at CSUF.
The resolution further stated,
".. . .If mandatory advising ls
Instituted that professors be re- -
quired to be knowledgeable In tbe
areas they are advising, and have
posted office hours when they will
definitely be there ... the A-S.
Senate urges the Academic Senate
to take under consideration tbe
problems of lack of Information
on matters related to advising and
being present during their office
He did a lot more besides,
however, because be almost got
fired from.hla teaching Job for
what his military employers
termed a too-controversial approach la hla teaching methods.
Of the "military* attitude,
Brown aald, "They do a lot of
damage to people and don't let
people be themselves."
After Asia, Brown spent tbe
next two years In London where
"The Misadventures of Tim McPick" waa started and completed.
It Is Brown's second book. Tbe
first he called a "brooding, dramatically 'heavy' novel - and
one that he didn't care to discuss." He gave tbe impression
that it waa written out of a need
to let out something that had been
held back.
REPRESSIVE
"My (other) book showed the
evils in tbe police force and tbe
repressive sexual values In authoritarian figures," saldBrown.
"In Tim McPick' I'm basically
showing the same tiring but In a
said Brown. "Tiro goes Into a
porno movlebouse and eventually
becomes part of the show. Then,
there's a brigade of 'concerned'
parents carrying signs reading
said Brown. "Things like that...
show up throughout the book to
point out tbe inconsistencies tn
society."
COURT MARTIAL
But that's only part of Tim's
adventures, which are centered
around Ma military experlence-
there'a a court martial In which
the two opposing attorneys (one
named Mr. Justice) literally
wrestle to win their cases.
"Most people's sexual attitudes
are old fashioned . . . I dor/t
think we've become very permissive," said Drown.
" 'Tim McPick' makes comments on repressive sexual attitudes In society ... anything
beyond the missionary position."

Brown aald be was lucky In
finding a publisher. "In these
tight-money times there aren't
many publishers like Tbe John
Parke custts press who are
willing to take a chance oo something more literary than "bestsellers," be said.
Brown's advice to new writers
Is:
