.-. 6-THE DAILY COLLEGIAN Thursday, December 4, 1975 J £ Women's forum draws impressive list by Caff Waeeer If Mohammed can't come to the mountain, bring the mountain to Mohammed ... the saying goea. In this case the mountain is 12 prominent American women being brought to CSUF next semester by the women's studies committee for a women's forum. 'Since Fresno is located where It Is - right ln the middle ot California — students are often cut oft from the most notable women personalities In the United States," Assistant Academic Vice-President Dr. Lillian Faderman said. "The best way to remedy that," she believes, *is to bring those female personalities here." MOST AMBITIOUS Committee chairperson Dr. Merry Salehl said 'this is the most ambitious lecture series ever sponsored as part of the regular university program. It will provide us the opportunity to rub minds with some of the greatest women scholars and leaders In the country todayl* A partial list of speakers Includes: —Shirley Chlsholm, New York Congresswoman speaking on politics and her experiences as a black woman politician. * —Dr. Estelle Ramey, endocrinologist and Professor of Medicine at Georgetown University speaking on hormonal cycles ln men and women. —Dr. Dixie Lee Ray, former head of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission, and one of the three scientists expected for the forum, speaking on alternate energy sources. —Jeannette Plccard, the 80- year-old controversial first woman Episcopal priest speaking on her experiences ln theChurch and women ln the Church. "Some of the best names we aren't yet sure of, like symphony- leader Antonla Brlco, athlete Al- thea Gibson and novelist Judith Rossner," Faderman said. long-timf: iikkam A women's forum has been "a dream of our department" for a couple of years, said Women's Studies Administrator Kathy Brooks. The real boost came last spring when "we were deluged with requests for more women sneakers" after Ms. magazine editor Harriet Lynn was a guest here. Lyon said she was amazed at the highly sensitive questions during a three-hour meeting open to CSUF students. It would have been over ln half an hour most places," she was quoted ln Insight last spring. The students who talked with Brooks very much wanted a program which would give them more contact with women "who have made It," she explained. "We wanted to make this forum an ongoing process so people could continuously sharpen their minds throughout the semester." MAIN THRUST The main thrust of. the forum "will have to be for all women ln the community," saldHumanl-v ties Dean Joseph Satin, ln whose school women's studies Is located. a/It's a way of saying, 'look here — this Is what we're doing' ln a very live and very significant way." On campus, Dr. Satin said, the women's studies program Is growing and exciting. "We're already there," Satin Is enthusiastic about the forum because of the "remarkable lineup," and because It goes along with his desire lo "get CSUK integrated with th? com munity." , Another reason the forum was developed is the continuing need, Faderman said, to "provide realty impressive role models for students." REPRESSED FANTASY A woman may have a "repressed fantasy* about becoming a doctor yet think women can't be doctors, she said. 'Seeing Dr. Estelle Ramey may have the effect of making her more ambitious. 'Another woman student might have some idea of becoming a physicist but has been told that women don't become physicists. Seeing Dixie Lee Ray will be an encouragement to her,* Faderman elaborated. "It really Is a problem getting these professions viewed as acceptable for women, " Natural Sciences Dean Brandt Kefbe said. Kehoe said he hopesakposure to excellent scientists will generate more student interest ln the sciences. Although there Is no way to predict the impact, he added, having high caliber scientists speak here Is a *very valuable thing." MEN LEARN TOO ln addition, *tliere are male ..students who will see that it's perfectly okay for a woman to aspire," Salehl said. "Some men may for the first time, be exposed to outstanding won...?, scholars and leaders." Perhaps this exposure, she added, will "change their point of view and help them recognize^ the quality of potentiality ln both male and female students." , The forum, which will cost $12,000 to $15,000, is being co- sponsored by si number of university and community groups, Brooks said. Having so many groups working together "to create a nice meshing of the academic and the community Is a relatively new concept on this campus." Students and Interested*-community individuals may attend ln any one of three ways, Salehl explained. They can attend for from one to three units of credit through regular university or extension division enrollment as part of the course requirements. Or they may Just simply attend. No admission will be charged. •Women's forum Is going to be an exciting, Inspiring exchange of Ideas for all of us," Salehl concluded Associated Student bylaws The CSUK bylaws (below) were approved lasi Tuesday by the Associated Students Senate In the first step before they can become operative. The next step, according to the CSUF Constitution, it for them to be printed in the AS-funded newspaper (Collegian). The Senate can then make its final approval no sooner than one weelt following the Collegian's printing of the bylaws. Approval Is tentatively scheduled for the Dec. 1 Senate meeting. The bylaws are not cast In stone and can be amended If the Senate so chooses. All students arp urged to read this document closely and make their feelings known to the Senators, who can be located at the student government offices in CU 306 (phone 487-2119).

Universities fail to attract minorities _ Thursdsy, D*Mnwar.4, 1OT THE DAHY COLUEGIAN--7 A report released by the State Legislature reveals that access to college (or ethnic minorities and the poor remains very limited. - The report Indicates that (our times as many high school graduates from high Income families outer the University of California than graduates of low Income families (18 versus (our per cent). The entrance rate to State University and Colleges for high Income graduates Is twice the rate (or low Income graduates (17 versus eight per cent). John Vasconcellos (D-SanJose), Chairman of the Assembly Permanent Subcommittee on Post- secondary Education which conducted the study, termed the results "disturbing and tragic." The report found that while 14 per cent of white graduates enter the University ol California, only four per cent o( black graduates and two per cent of Spanish surname graduates enter the university. MOKE WHITES ENTER r For California State University and Colleges (CSUC), 14 percent of the whites enter, compared to nine per cent of the blacks and six per cent of the Spanish. High Income graduates studied were from families with average annual Incomes of $22,000. Low Income graduates were from families with average annual Incomes of $7,200. The educational and work choices o( 1,000 random high school graduates of 20 Los Angeles high schools were examined ln the study. The study revealed that sub- stanUalSiurobers of high-achieving low Income graduates are not entering coller-e. The entrance rate la 20 per cent greater for high Income graduates with a "B" average than for low Income graduates with thesameaverage. The Inequality results because large numbers of low Income graduates are ineligible to enter UC or CSUC, the (report said. They are often determined Ineligible due to technical deddences ln meeting admission requirements or because necessary entrance tests were not completed, the study says. The report said 29 and 52 per cent of high income graduates are eligible to enter UC and CSUC, respectively. Yet only nine and 17 per centoflowIncome graduates are eligible to enter the same schools. DROPOUT RATES Dropout rates ln the high Income schools studied average 13 per cent, compared to an average dropout rate of 39 per cent ln low income schools. The report said Los Angeles high schools are greatly segregated: 94 per cent of graduates from high income schools are white, while 99 per cent o( graduates (rom low income schools are ethnic minorities. To overcome these inequities, the report recommended: —Expansion o( student financial aid programs. — Expansion and Improvement o( outreach programs which identify and counsel high achieving and high potential low Income graduates. -Greater flexiblUty ln UC and CSUC admission requirements, " including expansion of special admissions programs. —Improvement of instructional programs ln high schools serving low Income students.

Women's forum draws impressive list
by Caff Waeeer
If Mohammed can't come to
the mountain, bring the mountain
to Mohammed ... the saying
goea.
In this case the mountain is
12 prominent American women
being brought to CSUF next semester by the women's studies
committee for a women's forum.
'Since Fresno is located where
It Is - right ln the middle ot
California — students are often
cut oft from the most notable
women personalities In the United
States," Assistant Academic
Vice-President Dr. Lillian Faderman said.
"The best way to remedy that,"
she believes, *is to bring those
female personalities here."
MOST AMBITIOUS
Committee chairperson Dr.
Merry Salehl said 'this is the
most ambitious lecture series
ever sponsored as part of the
regular university program. It
will provide us the opportunity
to rub minds with some of the
greatest women scholars and
leaders In the country todayl*
A partial list of speakers Includes:
—Shirley Chlsholm, New York
Congresswoman speaking on politics and her experiences as a
black woman politician. *
—Dr. Estelle Ramey, endocrinologist and Professor of Medicine at Georgetown University
speaking on hormonal cycles ln
men and women.
—Dr. Dixie Lee Ray, former
head of the U.S. Atomic Energy
Commission, and one of the three
scientists expected for the forum,
speaking on alternate energy
sources.
—Jeannette Plccard, the 80-
year-old controversial first
woman Episcopal priest speaking
on her experiences ln theChurch
and women ln the Church.
"Some of the best names we
aren't yet sure of, like symphony-
leader Antonla Brlco, athlete Al-
thea Gibson and novelist Judith
Rossner," Faderman said.
long-timf: iikkam
A women's forum has been "a
dream of our department" for a
couple of years, said Women's
Studies Administrator Kathy
Brooks. The real boost came last
spring when "we were deluged
with requests for more women
sneakers" after Ms. magazine
editor Harriet Lynn was a guest
here.
Lyon said she was amazed at
the highly sensitive questions
during a three-hour meeting open
to CSUF students. It would have
been over ln half an hour most
places," she was quoted ln Insight last spring.
The students who talked with
Brooks very much wanted a program which would give them
more contact with women "who
have made It," she explained.
"We wanted to make this forum
an ongoing process so people
could continuously sharpen their
minds throughout the semester."
MAIN THRUST
The main thrust of. the forum
"will have to be for all women
ln the community," saldHumanl-v
ties Dean Joseph Satin, ln whose
school women's studies Is located. a/It's a way of saying,
'look here — this Is what we're
doing' ln a very live and very
significant way."
On campus, Dr. Satin said, the
women's studies program Is
growing and exciting. "We're already there,"
Satin Is enthusiastic about the
forum because of the "remarkable lineup," and because It goes
along with his desire lo "get
CSUK integrated with th? com
munity." ,
Another reason the forum was
developed is the continuing need,
Faderman said, to "provide realty impressive role models for
students."
REPRESSED FANTASY
A woman may have a "repressed fantasy* about becoming
a doctor yet think women can't
be doctors, she said. 'Seeing
Dr. Estelle Ramey may have the
effect of making her more ambitious.
'Another woman student might
have some idea of becoming a
physicist but has been told that
women don't become physicists.
Seeing Dixie Lee Ray will be an
encouragement to her,* Faderman elaborated.
"It really Is a problem getting
these professions viewed as acceptable for women, " Natural
Sciences Dean Brandt Kefbe said.
Kehoe said he hopesakposure
to excellent scientists will generate more student interest ln the
sciences. Although there Is no
way to predict the impact, he
added, having high caliber scientists speak here Is a *very valuable thing."
MEN LEARN TOO
ln addition, *tliere are male
..students who will see that it's
perfectly okay for a woman to
aspire," Salehl said. "Some men
may for the first time, be
exposed to outstanding won...?,
scholars and leaders."
Perhaps this exposure, she
added, will "change their point
of view and help them recognize^
the quality of potentiality ln both
male and female students." ,
The forum, which will cost
$12,000 to $15,000, is being co-
sponsored by si number of university and community groups,
Brooks said. Having so many
groups working together "to create a nice meshing of the academic and the community Is a
relatively new concept on this
campus."
Students and Interested*-community individuals may attend ln
any one of three ways, Salehl
explained. They can attend for
from one to three units of credit
through regular university or
extension division enrollment as
part of the course requirements.
Or they may Just simply attend.
No admission will be charged.
•Women's forum Is going to be
an exciting, Inspiring exchange
of Ideas for all of us," Salehl
concluded
