Women's political role emphasized by Crisp
By CATHERINE BEHAN Staff Reporter
A former Republican Party official told women Saturday that the conservative 'new right' should compel employers to more involved in the political process.
Mary Dent Crisp, ousted from the position of national co-chairman last week, the greatest threat to democracy is in even individuals stop getting involved."
Crisp was ousted from her position last summer in a confrontation with the party and conservative elements such as Moral Majority about women's issues.
She spoke to about 250 women representing about 15 Kansas women's organizations at the second annual Kansai Girls' Connection at the Topeka Holiday Inn.
THE PURPOSE OF the conference was to outline women's issues and develop strategies for the future to combat new legislation, Katie Krider, conference co-chairman and president of the Kansas Women's Political Caucus said.
"It is important that we express a unified voice of concern and take a protective stance as we face severe cutaneous injuries for human services," Krider said.
"The threat of the so-called Human Life Amendment and the visibility of the reactionary group that calls itself the Moral Majority are two reasons
why the KWC is so crucial during these times."
Crisp, now a member of the board of directors of the National Abortion Rights League, said the most important issue was abortion.
"Sen. Hatch's, R-Utah, amendment (Human Life Amendment) will deny by law the rest of us the right to believe as we wish." she said.
THE AMENDMENT was the topic of one of the workshops at the conference.
Others included "Sex and Age: A Case of Double Jeopardy," and "Sexual Harassment in the Workplace," but the most popular workshop at the conference discussed the "new right" and the Moral Majority.
Cathryn Simmons, political and organizational consultant, led the session and said she was surprised at the number of people at the workshop.
"The number of people here makes me nervous because maybe it means many of you have been hit by the 'new tight' or anticipate it."
Sirmons said women had a reason to be afraid of the "neer right," because it was a fear of men.
"The 'new right' takes complex issues and uses subtle doctrines and easy answers and panacases to provoke a more effective response in most people." she said.
"It's the same thing we say to our children, 'It will be okay, I'll take care of it and you don't have to worry about it.' "
SHE SUGGESTED several ways to fight against the "new right" including

writing letters to the editor, writing columns in newspapers and voting.
"The new 'right' uses these tactics and so should we," she said.
"One of their very good tactics is that we don't ask." Slimmos says.
But Crisp said the most important strength the "new right" had was their voting strength.
The KU steam whistle will not have to work on weekends anymore because administrators decided last week to stop blowing it on Saturdays.
"Let's call it a minor victory against noise pollution," Scott Jamieson, Lawrence graduate student of Systematics and Ecology, said yesterday. Jamieson circulated a petition more than a week ago at the Kansas Union to stop the Saturday whistle blasts.
When neighbors in the area of 12th and Louisiana streets complained about the Saturday whistle, Jamieson told a friend that his old tradition of the loud KU limepee.
KU silences 70-year-old tradition
The petition asked officials to "let the whistle rest on Satdays."
After 253 people signed the petition, it was submitted to Robert Cobb, executive vice chancellor, Jamieson said.
"We didn't see any need for it because the only things that meet on Saturdays are three-hour classes and labs," Cobb said.
THE WHISTLE will continue to blow
Homecoming activities go on despite rain, low ticket sales
More than 4,100 tickets were sold for the Ozark Mountain Daredevil concert at the Derby Day party Friday night. But members of Sigma Chi, the sponsoring Fraternity, doubt that the tickets were sold to break even on the party.
The Derby Day party was put on to benefit Wallace Village, a home for brain-damaged children in Broomfield, Colo.
In 1979 and 1980, the KU chapter of Sigma Chi donated $4,200 and $3,500 respectively to the charity, Jeff Evans, Gerald Goulder, Marilyn Carr and Derby Day ticket chairman said.
The party cost an estimated $30,000 making it the most expensive Derby Day the fraternity ever produced, he said.

five distinguished alumni received
The recipients were former Kansas governor Robert B. Docking, president of the Union State Bank in Arkansas City; William C. Douce, president and chief executive officer of Phillips Petroleum Co.; Robert S. Mueller, a retired partner of Arthur Young & Co., Kansas City, Mo.; August L. Selig, a beacon professor of geology; and Charles D. Stough Jr., a lawrence attorney and founder of KU scholarships for journalism and minority law students.
In the homecoming float competition, the Pi Kappa Alpha-Alpha Micron PI team won the three-dimensional, non-moving float division and the Kappa Sigma-Chi Omega team won the movingfloat division.
at its usual times Monday through Friday, he said.
Although Jamisoned had complained that the whistle at 7:20 a.m. on weekdays also was unnecessary, there was no difference between blasts on the petition, Cobb said.
"I've sort of put the 7:20 whistle on the back burner," Jamieson said. "It was sort of an oversight on my part not to put it on the petition."
KU Chancellor Gene Budig and four vice chancellors made the decision, Jamieson said.
Power over the whistle traditionally rests with the chancellor. Chancellor Frank Strong issued the order to begin operation of the whistle in 1912.
"I'm happy about the decision," Jamieson said. "My reaction to it is that although we have a somewhat complex social structure, people in places of authority can listen to reason and act accordingly."
There was quite a bit of red tape there he said, and we moved as both in him and seasonably.
RED TAPE might have slowed the process, but it wasn't much trouble to keep the whistle from blowing, said Thomas Anderson, director of facilities operations. All it took was to push a few buttons in time clock that controls the whistle.
"Ours is not to reason why." An-
drew his fingers, they don't want us to
blow it. we won't.
Jamieson said he wouldn't pursue a campaign against him. A.m. to sunday on weekdays.
"At least on Saturdays I can get up on my own without listening to a new song."
