Center to celebrate suffragette's birth
By DeNEEN BROWN Staff Reporter
Susan B. Anthony started helping women break free of societal boundaries that restrained them from achieving equality more than 100 years ago, when the women's movement was unpopular, hazardous and dangerous.
University Daily Kansan, February 15, 1985
Anthony, who was born 165 years ago today, was arrested during the 1872 presidential elections for trying to vote. But she continued to believe women had to attain equal rights and they could work to improve society.
Today the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center continues the struggle to help women break society's barriers.
It will celebrate Anthony's birthday anniversary with a reception at 2-4 p.m. today in 218 Strong Hall. The event will be held in bright lights and refreshments will be served.
BARBARA BALLARD, ASSOCIATE dean of student life and coordinator of the women's resource center, said yesterday that women coming out of a box had become the theme for the center. The center's insignia, which adorns its printed material, shows a woman's figure reaching beyond the boundaries of a box.
Anthony worked to help women come out of the box they had been pushed into by the roles they had to play in society. Ballard said,
"She opened up new ideas," Ballard said. "And our logo is a sign of becoming more of a person, more of a fulfilled person."
The center's purpose is to promote equality for women and to help battle discrimination, Baldard said. This goal reflects Anthony's philosophy.
WOMEN NEED TO become aware of discrimination in the working world and must learn how to cope with it and overcome it, she said.
The center tries to challenge women to strive to be the best they can be, Ballard said. It offers services to help women become more qualified, thus more equal, through career-choice counseling, assistance
in resume writing, job interview training and career planning.
"It's a struggle to prove yourself
and it's easier to prove yourself when
you have the experience."
Emily Taylor, dean of women at the University from 1956 to 1974 and founder of the center, wrote that the philosophy of the center "is to challenge the status quo of women and encourage all women to do so. In the process, we hope to sensitize increasing numbers of women and men to the political, educational, legal and social conditions in our society that depopulate them and reduce their achievement and reduce their participation as free and equal partners with men in all aspects of life."
TAYLOR, A STAUNCH women's activist, started changing things for women at the University in the late 1950s when she began issuing dormitory keys to women so they could come in whenever they chose.
As dean of women, Taylor said, her job might have been to try to keep her students in their place.
"But I try to tell them their place is wherever they choose." he has said.
Ballard said the center's primary focus was to help undergraduate women at the University of Kansas. But it is open to all other women on campus and to men who are interested in its resources.
The changing role of relationships between men and women has brought more men into the center, Ballard said. Men come in to discuss changing sex roles, talk about their lives, simply to research topics on women.
The shelves in the center's reading area also are stocked with more than 140 notebooks of newspaper and magazine articles.
The center provides a variety of literature and periodicals on topics of interest to women, including careers, health care, sexuality and politics.
The center offers a large variety of programs each semester, including programs on leadership and assertiveness training, auto mechanics, single parenting, relationships and sexual harassment.
ROTC students battle to win in war games
By PATRICIA SKALLA Staff Reporter
War games and higher academic standards are two things students in the Navy ROTC will have to battle with in the coming years, a professor of naval science said yesterday.
U. S. Marine Col. Michael D. Wlye, the professor, said the purpose of the tougher requirements and the war games was to train the commissioned officers who were more about modern warfare.
Wyly said the war games, which began this semester, replaced the drill inspections that midshipmen had in weekly laboral perigios.
The war game program is unique to KU and, if successful, might be adopted nationwide, he said.
THE GAMES TAKE two forms, strategic and tactical. Wyly said.
He said the strategic exercises were developed so midshipmen could understand an entire war situation, instead of isolated incidents.
The midshipmen are given a set of facts which they study to decide what the best procedure would be, he said. They are forced to make rapid decisions which they must later justify.
Wyly said the most important part of the exercise was when the students had to defend their
decisions to the instructor and their classmates.
Bill Murroe, Lindfield, Mass, sophomore midshipman, said the questioning of the decisions was very detailed. He said he had difficulty justifying his decisions and didn't know how it easier to explain his rationale
WILY SAID THE purpose of forcing students to defend their decisions was not to intimidate them but to make them think before they acted.
Wyly said the purpose of the "Free Play" war game, the tactical exercise, was to expose midshipmen to "real war" in which situations were constantly changing.
STUDENTS ARE DIVIDED into three groups, red, blue and control. The red group "fights" the blue group, while the control group knows what each group is planning, he said.
The control group gives information to the red and blue groups based upon what the groups might know in a real war.
The red and blue groups plan their strategies according to the information they receive, but must change situations. Wylly said.
As of August 1984, midshipmen must maintain a grade point average equal to the average GPA of other students in their schools, and that percentage of midshipmen were only required to have a minimum 2.0 GPA.
