Group to sponsor eclipse lecture
Solar eclipse fans will be treated to a free lecture and film presentation on eclipses tonight at 8 in the Forum Room of the Kansas Union.
The meeting, sponsored by the Astronomy Associates of Lawrence, is in preparation for a solar eclipse on Feb. 26. The last eclipse Americans will be able to see until 2017, according to a spokesman for the group, Chris Brungardt.
The eclipse, which should occur around 10:30 a.m. Lawrence time, will be partially visible over Kansas. The eclipse will be 100 miles north of Iowa and western United States and parts of Canada.
Lecturers at tonight's presentation will be Donald Bord, assistant professor of physics and astrometry, and Anta White, professor of anthropology, Brungardt said yesterday.
Bord will speak about the geometry of the moon's movement between the earth and the sun, and about ways to observe the eclipse. White will talk about the history of solar eclipses and the myths that primitive men once associated with them.
Brunardt said the Astronomy Associates would have special telescopes set up in front of Wescow and Lindley hall. He said that they will project an image of the eclipse onto a screen, so that people wanting to see the eclipse can magnify their eyes by looking into the sun.
The astronomy club also is sponsoring a chartered bus trip to Manitoba, Canada, where the eclipse will be fully visible. Reservations for the trip are available from the Maupintour Travel Agency, 900 Massachusetts St.

Minority women urged to keep long-range goals
Minority women who seek careers must keep long-range goals in mind so they can deal effectively with problems that are more difficult to sexton they may number on a list.
According to another panel member, Ceccaria Alexander, director of KU Upward Bound program and a former program officer, he learned to deal with all kinds of problems.
That was the consensus last night at the Kansas Union when a panel of four women gave personal perspectives on professional minority women.
"I like to compare being a reporter to a balancing act," she said. "There are so many things I have to be aware of and take into consideration."
"It was difficult be professional in the face of blatant racism." Marilyn Ainsworth, associate professor of law, had to learn to be nasty, politely.
Joyce Cheatham, an assistant staff engineer with AMCO Co., said minority women in professions were socialized to believe they were inferior to the white
"It has been instilled in us that we're not good enough," she said.
Getting the education to be qualified for the career she had chosen only was one step, Cheatham said.
men who have dominated professional fields.
"It was very traumatic as far as my personal being—feeling I wasn't able to perform," Cheumat said.
She said she relied on an innate perseverance to overcome her difficulties.
After a woman is hired, according to Barbara Sara, secretary of the Kansas Department of Aging, she must define the limits of her job.
Sabol, who is the first woman member of the Kansas State Cabinet, said that fact has had an effect on her colleagues.
"I think there is some agreement that my being there is going to change the dynamics of the cabinet," Sabl said.
While a minority woman may have to sacrifice some things to establish herself, Ainsworth said, she must set her priorities.
Mikkelson said there would be four positions open in the eight school halls and as many as seven might become directors or main directors made final plans for next year.
An informational meeting for persons interested in applying for resident director positions in scholarship halls will be Monday night, although no applications for the position will be accepted. Mikkelson, associate director of the Office of Residential Programs, said last night.

"Blair was a really big advocate of higher education. We just thought this would be a nice way to perpetuate his memory," he said.
In other business, ASHC representatives defeated a motion to form a constitution for ASHC, based on votes taken earlier this month in individual halls.
taking courses from the University, Roger C. Barnes, instructor of sociology, said the scholarship would be awarded on the basis of academic excellence and need.
Death penalty bill passed
Because debate is not permitted when final action is taken on a bill, two state representatives instead submitted written objections to the House clerk.
TOPEKA-The Kansas House yesterday approved by a vote of 8242 a bill that would allow judges to sentence persons convicted of murder to death by injection of a lethal dose of a drug.
State Rep. Joseph Houglain, R-Overland Park, said there was a danger that an inno-
trial would have to take place.
"The legal system we have may be the best in the world," he said, "but as a defense attorney I have see large differences in the county and get from county to county and case to case."
State Rep. Theo Cribbis, D-Wichita, said the death penalty was unfair because it was usually imposed on the poor and on minorities.
The death penalty now goes to the Kansas Senate, where similar House bills have been passed.
However, some senators have said the bill may survive the Senate this year.
Gov. John Carlin said Wednesday that he would give the bill serious consideration if it passed, which he said was more important.
The previous Kansas death penalty law was struck down by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1972. The last execution in Kansas was in 1965.
