Women's lives studied Study ties changes to families
By DAN PARELMAN Staff Reporter
Changes in women's lives are related more to changes in their families than to their age, according to a study conducted by the KU graduate students in psychology.
The students, Abbie Ellicott and Rochelle Harris, now are writing their conclusions to a research project started in June 1981.
They will present their findings Nov. 16 at a Division of Continuing Education colloquium in Alcove D of the Kansas Union.
OF THE SIX LIFE stages the students identify in the study, the period in which a woman's first child learns to change its most change and conflict. Elliott said.
The change often leads to marital problems and some women become
more introspective, change their goals and start working on going back to what they were before.
HOWEVER, HARRIS SAID, most women did not say that their children’s parents were involved.
Most research of men's life cycles has revealed that changes in men's lives are related to age factors, such as the factors are at in their careers, Elliott said.
Elliott and Harris interviewed 64 middle-class women in Lawrence between the ages of 45 and 60. The students asked the women about their work and particular events that happened in their lives. They also asked the women about their marriages and the stable and most disruptive parts of their lives.
She said she thought women's life changes might be more related to their families than men's because women were more involved with their families.
ELICITCIO SAID SHE and Harris chose women of one economic class, so that class-related factors would not skew the results.
Harris said, "If you think about the generation of women we studied, they were raised with more traditional values. Women was the importance of the family."
Harris and Elliott said future research would show whether the women's movement and the increased incidence of heart disease causes the causes of change in women's lives.
A few changes are associated with age, Harris said. Women said they became more self-confident, assertive and relaxed in their 50s.
ELICITTON SAID THAT therapists and adult educators might find the results of such research helpful in understanding the different stages of an adult's life.
Parking personnel boot repeat ticket offenders
A brown Datsun sat immobilized in a parking stall in front of Johnson Center yesterday, a yellow metal clamped to its right rear wheel.
Plastered to the passenger window, an orange sticker warned against driving the car.
The hapless owner of the vehicle had suffered "the boot," a metal wheel clamp that parking service drivers use to secure vehicles with multiple parking violations.
However, Done Kearns, directs a parking services, said yesterday that the boot was a blessing in disguise for repeat offenders, because the alternative was to have the car towed at an additional cost.
The average charge for a tow in Lawrence is $14.50, he said.
KEARNS SAID that after a violator received five tickets, and left them unpaid, he was placed on the "boot list," and his car was clamped when discovered by parking service personnel.
People who illegally park five people must pay all fines in full, or set up a payment schedule with the car owner before their cars are unclaimed.
The parking service office is located at the east end of the first floor of Hoch Auditorium.
THE POLICY of clamping down the vehicles of repeat violators has been in effect for almost three years. "Boots" have been used since the mid-70s in major cities such as Boston and Denver.
Commission applauds art in Flint Hall
The Lawrence Arts Commission presented its monthly award to the William Allen White School of Journalism Tuesday night for what the commission vice president said was an innovative use of artwork.
Mary Lou Wright, vice president of the arts commission, said the school had made an outstanding and im­
novel impact in the recent remodeling of Flint Hall.
She said that by placing artwork in the halls and entryways rather than in private offices, students and visitors could enjoy it.
THE ARTWORK REPRESENTS
REGional artists and reflect the region's
artistic identity.
Del Brinkman, dean of the school, accepted the award and said students had enjoyed the artwork.

BUDGET CUTS HURT
The state needs more revenue, and Jessie Branson thinks that imposing a severance tax would help.
It's this simple. The revenue would support public education and highways. That, in turn, would increase the pool of money available for higher education. In these matters, Lawrence has an interest.
But that's only a fraction of the answer. The state must grow, too.Jessie will promote economic growth by seeking ways to make partners of higher education and industry.
