Women's Task Force Discussed
By CATHY STUMPFF
Kansan Staff Writer
Virginia Allan, chairwoman of President Nixon's task force on Women's Rights and Respondents, said the recommendations set forth in the task force's report in the closing symposium of the Commission on the Status of Women's spring night in Dyce Auditorium.
The task force, she explained, was composed of members from many backgrounds which limited her ability to lead executive and legislative changes possible. She said the need for a change in social attitudes was the result of a number of factors.
The report was a result, she said, of the belief that our nation should utilize to the fullest the resources available to that end, she said, it recommended a commitment to change that would bring women into the classroom.
Among the recommendation presented to the President was the establishment of an Office of
Women's Rights and Responsibilities with a Presidential assistant. Such an office was necessary, she said, in order to bring a change of attitudes and in jobs on a governmental level.
She said women were actually considered as second class citizens. Passage of the equal right laws would secure equal legal rights for women. As an example of the kind of inequality it would eliminate she noted current laws that required longer prison sentences than men for the same offense. It would also do away with the judicial precedent of awarding the children to the mother in divorce
Education was an area reviewed by the task force, she said. The discrimination existed that people were not awful.
For example, college admission acceptance of 60 per cent men to 40 per cent women is an unwritten law, she said.

TEHRAN, Iran (UPI)—The Shah of Iran urged Persian Gulf oil producing nations Wednesday to raise prices from western oil companies. Ten major oil producing nations promptly endorsed the Shah's proposal.
At the same time, Shah Mukhtar has called for reopening negotiation that break down Tuesday between the producing nations and the oil producers.
The Shah said that if the companies failed to accept the petroleum prices, the 10 nations belonging to the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) might decide to stop oil ship
Extension of Cease-Fire Is Predicted for Mideast
WASHINGTON (UPI) - Egypt has decided to extend the MidEast cease-fire one month, according to reliable diplomatic reports.
OPEC accounts for approximately 85 per cent of the world's oil exports. A stoppage of oil imports would reduce oil to western Europe and Japan, which receive almost their entire oil supplies from the world.
The reports said that Egyptian government would inform the Egyptian parliament Thursday that the ceasefire would be extended by Egypt until time it was announced during that time it was prepared to withdraw.
Immediately following the Shah's speech the OPEC delegation endorses the Iranian call for solidarity in their ranks.
Shah of Iran Urges Laws To Up Prices
OPEC has demanded a 25 per cent increase to bring the oil price down to $38.00 a cente additional five cents a year thereafter. The companies offered a 20 per cent increase to $19.99 a year thereafter. The companies increased a 20 per cent increase a year thereafter.

Gordon said black culture traditionally was studied with a focus on the culture of the American Negro. This was why emphasis was placed on finding a black pride approach taken by the department of African Studies at UCF and Gordon said that the goal of his program was a more complete understanding of all black culture.
He said that western democracies had pride in their ability to teach their students Greek. The key to establishing black pride was to learn the histories and the stories of African people, problem, Gordon said, was convincing people that there was history even though there would be no racism.
Gordon said that the program was broad in scope. Included in the studies he said, were African American students and Afro-Caribbean Studies. The primary objective of the program was to inform the role that the Negro has played in world history. This goal would be accomplished through the study of Negro culture and in the New World, he said.
Gordon said he had many plans for the future. He said he would like to develop exchange programs with African and Caribbean students who would like to encourage African and Caribbean to visit KU.

State department officials declined to make any comment on the matter.
Secretary of State William P. Rogers was disclosed to have sent a third note to Egyptian Minister for Appealing for an extension on grounds that U.N. mediator Gunar V. Jarmar had made sufficient progress in his peace mission. Egyptian Reqects this viewpoint.
Also before Egypt was an appeal from United Nations leaders to recognize renewed fighting. Thant did not ask for a formal extension of the truce but urged both sides to refrain from any further restraint and maintain the quiet.

Israel has formally it accepts Thant's appeal not to visit the United States, the Foreign Minister Abba Eban etan with ambassadors of nations represented on the Security Council, and he aimed at extending the truce.

There was no indication that the renewed request would receive a better reception in the new Congress. But there is still doubt about amounting to compulsory arbitration. The AFL-CIO and transportation unions are also fighting against it in Congress.
