Women making progress, KU prof says
By CARMEN ABBOTT
Staff Reporter
Within the past two decades, women have come a long way in achieving their goals and getting recognition for their achievements, a KU professor said Saturday night.
More women are continually entering fields which have long been held by men, even though a significant number still hold jobs as secretaries, receptionists, and bank tellers, said Marilyn Yarbrough Ainworth, professor of law and a member of the KU Women's Hall of Fame.
Ainsworth spoke to more than 150 people in Alderson Auditorium in the Kansas Union at a program titled
"Broadening Horizons through Women's Recognition."
AWINSHORT LISTED TRENDS that have helped women. She said 50 percent of the labor force and voters were women, women lived longer than men and more women were likely to go to college than men.
Even with these statistics, women still get paid less than men, she said. She said this was because of the way women had been stereotyped.
"The media enforce the stereotypes of women and refuse to recognize their accomplishments, though there has been progress recently," she said.
"Today's female pioneers aren't recognized, and steps are being taken to improve these conditions," she said.
ences.
"Programs such as these are necessary to remind us that the long and hard journey is all worth it."
The media are starting to report on women positively, she said, and women are participating in helpful conferences.
AFTER AINSWORTH SPOKE, awards were presented to Tammy Thomas, Lawton, Okla., senior, for outstanding woman student in athletics; Mary Kate Duffy, Kansas City, Mo., graduate student, for outstanding woman student in community services; Jean Emerson, Leavenworth graduate student, and Virginia Hunnel, Lawrence junior, for outstanding non-traditional woman student; Sandra Smith, Haddonfield, N.J., senior for
outstanding woman student in leadership; Rebecca Chaney, McPherson senior, for outstanding woman student in student services; and Yolanda Suarez de Balcarza, Bogota, Colombia, graduate student, for outstanding international woman student.
THE OUTSTANDING woman teacher award went to Nancy Denney, professor of psychology, and Dorothy Haglund, assistant dean of the School of Liberal Arts, received the award for outstanding woman staff member.
Inducted into the women's hall of fame were Margaret Byrne, Margo Gordon, Genevieve Hargiss, Aletha Huston, and Eleanor Maloft.
The program was sponsored by the Commission on the Status of Women

Testimony is expected to end this week in the trial of Stanley W. Chavez, who is facing a charge of felony murder in connection with the death of two-year-old Lawrence boy last December.
The jury heard testimony Friday from the boy's mother, Sabrina White, who said she had become angry at the

boy, Pratt White, on Dec. 8, the day before the boy died.
She said she had struck the boy twice on the leg after he had marked up himself and her car with lipstick he had found in the car.
CAROL MODDRELL, DEPUTY Douglas County coroner, testified Thursday that the boy died as a result of about five blows to the head that had caused bleeding in the skull.

after he found him with the lipstick.
The charge of felony murder requires that an underlying felony be committed at the time that the murder is committed. In Chavez's case, child abuse is the alleged underlying felony. But he is not charged with this offense.
The bleeding caused the brain to be compressed, which killed the boy, she said. However, she was unable to say

NEW VORK — Conductors and trainmen yesterday voted to submit to binding arbitration and ended a 6-week-old commuter strike that forced 90,000 people in two states to find alternate means of getting to work.
The Metropolitan Transportation Authority ratified the plan last night
after the union vote and prepared to put trains in operation for this morning's commuters.
United Transportation Union officials said the 159-28 vote meant they could return to their jobs on three lines of the Metro-North railroad this morning.
The transportation agency has said it would allow passengers to ride for free today if the system returns to operation.
