10 University Daily Kansan / Thursday, February 20, 1992 Women's center strives for quality, diverse events Programs offer big help despite small following By Shelly Solon Kansan staff writer Although the programs sponsored by the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center are attended by only 15 people on average, workers there and students who participate say the number of students who attend is less important than the quality of the presentations. "If you can reach even one person, you meet the goal in reaching people," said Sherrill Robinson, assistant director of the center. "Our concern is having programs that are helpful for those that choose to attend." The center sponsors about 18 programs a semester. "Regardless of options available, there will always be people who choose not to attend because of lack of time, or they think it's just another women's thing, or for no reason at all," she said. "Whether it is a program in the (Kansas) Union or on a floor at a residence hall that will always happen." However, a few programs can attract from 50 to 100 people. Robinson said. She said that hot topics often attracted more attendance at programs. For example, the program last semester about the Supreme Court had large attendance because of the Clarence Thomas hearings, Robinson said. Programs about relationships also tend to bring in people, she said. "Whether the program is about communication, intimate relationships or addictive relationships, people come," she said. "Beyond that it's what appeals to each individual." "Maybe they're not reaching all 25,000 students but those attending that I know find them worthwhile and effective." Jennifer Boyle, member of Women's Student Union, said that women involved in special interest groups attended programs more often than other women. "As far as appeal to campus at large, certain discussions like self-defense are very popular," she said. "Issues that are very much a reality for all women such as self-defense or Jennifer Boyle member of Women's Student Union sexual harassment are gaining attention." sexual harassment is a ginning attention. Boyle said that she knew many of the events had small attendance, but that did not reflect negatively on the content. "Maybe they're not reaching all 25,000 students, but those attending that I know find them worthwhile and effective," she said. Boyle said that she sometimes missed the center's programs because of the amount of other activities happening at the same time. Margaret Hu, coordinator of Amnesty International, said that lack of time often prevented women in organizations from attending. "Some women become actively involved in women's issues and don't feel they have time to attend such programs as women in leadership or assertiveness training or discussions about women's issues," she said. Sarah Gard, president of *Pannhellenic*, said that women in sororities used the programs and that the center helped educate women in sororites about sexual assault. "They've helped us in a lot of ways," she said. "They do so much with the women in our organization, and we encourage women to use their resources. Each house has a delegate that works directly with them on the programs." YOU DON'T NEED A COUPON!
