Author says history education should include role of women
By ANNE FITZGERALD Staff Reporter

History materials often ignore the facts that women have fought in wars, served in Congress and explored unknown territory, she said. Such aspects of women's history have consistently been overlooked and it up to historians to integrate them into existing history materials.
BUT THAT MAY be difficult, Riley said, because some historians want to retain their autonomy and resist trying to maintain the traditionally male-dominated history.
Awareness of women's pasts is the key to changing history education, which has traditionally excluded women. Glenda Riley, author of "Frontier Women: The Iowa Experience," said yesterday.

Riley said that historians had to be sensitive to the possibility of such divisiveness.
She said early attempts to integrate women's history and traditional history at a number of colleges in the United States have been successful.
Riley spoke to 100 people at the opening speech yesterday of a three-day women's history conference at the University of Kansas.
In the early 1970s, Riley and a colleague at the University of Northern Iowa, Cedar Falls, created a women's history curriculum, which they naively thought would be greeted with enthusiasm, she said.
RATHER THAN eliminate existing women's studies programs in the integration process, some schools, such as the University of Maine, Montana State University and Wellesley College, have created better programs. Riley has

She said it was important to include the history of all women in women's studies programs, not just that of white women.
ALTHOUGH MANY minority studies programs cannot survive the economic squeeze, Riley said, most women's studies programs are at least maintaining their past levels of operation.
Women's historians are now more assertive in promoting their research, she said, and their efforts are paying off.

HOUSTON — The ex-wife of former Arkansas Gov. Orval Faubus was found slain yesterday in a bloody bathtub at an exclusive home once shared by the couple, police said.
Former wife of Faubus found slain
Homicide Lt. Bill Edison said, "We feel from a preliminary investigation it apparently is a homicide and sustained multiple head injuries."
A man who went to the home to pick up a piano at his mother-in-law's request said he found Mrs Faubus' naked body in a bathtub full of water with "blood everywhere" about 2 p.m. He said his mother-in-law was a friend of Mrs Faubus.

A U.S. District Court judge in Topeka has rejected two of three allegations in a lawsuit against the Kansas University Endowment Association by a KU professor, a court official said yesterday.

DISTRICT JUICE Richard Rogers issued a summary judgment Wednesday that rejected Mrs. Hinnman's allegations that the Endowment Association in obtaining committed fraud in obtaining Hinnman money, Pat Haley, Rogers' law clerk, said.
Myra Himman, associate professor of English, filed a suit in 1979 against the association and Olin K. Petfish, president of the Endowment Association board, after the death of her husband, Carlton Himman, in 1977.

ROGERS ALSO ruled that Petefish did not interfere with the disposition of Hinnam's body, as Mrs. Hinnam alleged in her suit. This arose from a provision in the will that directed Petefish to donate Hinnam's body to the University of Kansas Medical Center if he died in Kansas or to send the body to the nearest reputable medical center if he died elsewhere.
that the Endowment Association co- corered her husband into giving a large part of his estate to the Endowment Association, in part because the University was supplying Hinman with beclamethane, a drug for his respiratory illness, Haley said.
Mrs. Himan's third claim, that Petefish failed to advise her of the extent of her husband's estate, will be decided by jury trial at a later date, Haley said.

The drug is not available in the United States, he said.

DIATRIBE OF A "DOOMSAYER"
In the Journal World's February 27th issue an editorialist notes that "Progress' and expansion' have almost become dirty words for some of our discontented vocal citizens." The editorialist in question considers such dissenters to be victims of a "doomsayer philosophy". Why would any red-blooded member of the citizenry object to the creation of shopping malls and industrial parks?
All the important advocates of capitalism, from Adam Smith to George Gilder, have recognized that the 'expansion' of a profit-making enterprise is a choice which should be made and carried out by employees of that enterprise. When millions of dollars of public funds are used in the construction of a huge privately-owned shopping complex, 'expansion' becomes a public, not a private, investment. A free government which so generously supports with tax dollars a private undertaking can only remain free by striving to achieve full employment.
Instead of reaching for this democratic goal, the governmental apparatus is ignoring the plight of the productive. While, for instance, many local people support placing an industrial park on prime farmland, few seem to consider the problems of the American farmer. Unable to contend with the combination of decreasing farm commodity prices and increasing debt, many farmers are being driven from their land.
Enclosed shopping malls and sprawling industrial parks can destroy small businesses and prime farmland. Does this matter to a desensitized society which already tolerates rising violence in our schools, streets, prisons, nursing homes, and abortion clinics? Capitalism, designed to liberate the individual, often, in its present form, overrides large groups of individuals. When "progress and expansion" occur at the expense of the helpless or productive, these terms "become dirty words", and create "doomsayer" philosophers.
