DEMOCRATIC VICTORIES
WASHINGTON - Democratic
victories In Tuesday's Congressional elections are seen by several political experts as a result
or Inttation and Watergate.
For the first time, President
Ford knows for sure how elective he has been in trying to
market his economic program.
As election returns continue to
roll in, he Is probably planning
major revisions in at least some
parts of the so-called "Win Program." Some or the aftereffects
of Tuesday's elections were lhat
slate houses foil like dominoes
and Democrats made great Inroads In senate and house positions. The possibility ol a "veto-
tree"  Congress may-still be in
' Just how big a role President
Ford's economic program had In
the heavy defeat of Republicans
Is not yet sure. But If the average voter shared any ot the sentiments ot a recent grouporpanelists who discussed the economy,
it Is too llltle, too late and major
changes are needed.
•Throughout 1929, '30 and '31,
as the depression began," said
Dr. Jim Cypher, oneofthepanel-
... .. - menlber of the CSUF
department, "Hoover
Insisted the cause was the working people . . ."
Cypher said the same thing is
happening today, and that "quite
often the victim gets blamed for
the crime . . . massive advertising has created the climate for
buying,' he added, and aald the
true creator o! Inflationary problems was the major corporation.
Cypher was joined-on the panel
by Jan, L. Cummins, CSUF assistant professor or home economics and consumer expert; and
Charles Brough, a Fresno City
CoUege Instructor In economics.
Brough said he did not reel the
Ford/Win program for stopping-
inflation was aggressive enough,
but that It could not risk being
too aggressive for fear of widespread unemployment.
Cummins agreed.
"His plan is to take five per
cent from the public, and then turn
around and place It in the general
fund," she said. All three panelists questioned whether the money win be 'saved, or whether It
win Just make the federal budget
five per cent larger.
Were It to be used simply to
boost federal spending, they concluded, It would only Increase
inflation and taxes at the same
Ford has proposed that the road
away from inflation Is for each
American to save a little more,
waste a little less, and hold onto
his pocket money as though Ms
life depended on It.
But taken seriously by every
American, argued Cypher, such •
a policy could lead the U.S, Into
much greater economic difficul-
"You have got to remember
that economics is nothing more
than everyone taking In everyone else's wash/ he said.
"If people are going to reduce
demand, then the man who takes

economy, would be thrown Into a
depression-type process. I per-

The Self-Help series Is the

"id Diane Kapp two CSUF graduate social work students, and Is
temg sponsored In affiliation with
Ww and the Wbmeh'sHealthAl-
Amaral said the series will

•til be required. Amaral said the
meetings last unfit 10 p.m. and
child care will be provided.
Amaral said both she and Kapp
**re trained In self-help tech-
nl*es at the Feminist Women's
Health center' In Los Angeles.
Sbe ~«ld while the examinations
,re  the basis of the women's
MELODY  AMARAL
health movement; they can't take
the place of yearly doctor visits.
" TMs Is not to take the place
of going to a doctor,* she said.
Both she and Kapp stressed
the purpose of self-examination
of the cervix, is to make women
more aware of their own health.
Amaral, who la president of the
Women's Health Alliance said
the Wednesday session will include a slide presentation showing women how to examine their
cervix, a cervical self-examination demonstration and a discussion of what areas the women,
would like to cover in the sessions.. A plastic speculum, a
commonly used Instrument In
pelvic examinations to open the
vaginal walls in order toviewthe
cervix,   will   be given  to each
Kapp said women are encouraged to examine themselves at the
sessions but aren't forced.
•Women have an opportunity
to do the self-examination with
the speculum and |get the group
Input but there's no pressure,"
she said. \
According to Amaral; besides
cervical self-examinations, the
second session will Include "an
Intimate discussion of the women's experiences with different
methods of birth control."
The third session will feature a
DIANE KAPP
film on breast cancer, breast
self-examination demonstrations, a discussion on venereal
disease and vaginal infections,
as well as a pap smear demonstration, she said.
The fourth session will conclude with a discussion of female
sexuality   and   will   encourage
women lo get rid of their pre-
| vlous misconceptions about their
bodies, Amaral said.
'"-Kapp said hopefully women
will become more aggressive In
asking their doctors questions
after participating In the series.
Kapp also said the sessions
should "break the medical mystique so woman know what's going on with their bodles.-
Accordlng to the philosophy of
Self-Help, stated by both Kapp
and Amaral, the sessions will
help break through this mystique
by:
Dispelling the Idea that medicine Is so mysterious and awesome that only special people
can use it.
Aiding women in gaining a
first-hand practical knowledge of
the functioning and dysfunction-
Ing of their own bodies.
Assuring that women receive
high quality, non-Judgmental
medical care, allowing the woman
to make her own informed de-
