Power of women important
What could be more logical after Black Power and Student Power, than Woman Power?
"Women have determined the tone of society in the past, they are in the present, and they must continue to do so in the future!" declared Miss Genevieve Blatt in her Tuesday visit to the KU campus.
Miss Blatt, assistant director of the Office of Economic Opportunity, spoke to 23 women who are campus leaders in an afternoon reception tea, and talked to another 27 coeds and women faculty members in an evening meeting.
"I look at the ills of society and think, 'Who is at fault?' It is the women in society. Do you think we could have had the violence which bloodied the streets in our American cities this past two weeks if there would have been a sizeable number of American women who really believed that all men are created equal and had taught this to their children?" she asked.
"Women should use the force they have in society—their force as citizens with the unquestioned right to vote and take part in public affairs, and the more indirect force of influence over men who wield the power," she said, her seven heavy bracelets jang-
ling as she punctuated each phrase with a forceful gesture.
"There isn't another person who will have the same influence over a certain number of persons as you will have. Someday you will have to answer the question, 'Did you, Jane Smith, take care of your little bit of America?'
After what she called her "Sunday sermon" at the afternoon tea, Miss Blatt answered questions about her work with the Office of Economic Opportunity (OEO). In her work as head of the Office of Older Persons' Programs, she directs aid to the older poor, which comprise over 20 per cent of the poverty-strecken population in America.
"It isn't right that some older persons have to spend twenty or thirty years of their life living in the back of some hotel with not enough to eat," she said.
Other projects she works with include Operation Foster Grandparents, which provides foster grandparents to give "tender loving care" to children in institutions for long term care, whose parents have rejected them. Other programs include senior centers, home repair services, and Operation Green Thumb, a program in which older men can work on highways on such things as landscaping.
She also discussed the reaction toward women in government, saying that male prejudice towards female politicians and government workers is breaking down, especially on the local level.
However, when she ran for Pennsylvania state senator in 1964, she heard the comment that "Pennsylvania is not ready to have a woman senator."
"I admit that not very many women want to be elected government officials. More women accept appointive offices where they would not be daring enough to try for elective positions," Miss Blatt said.

Don't you believe it.
If you have the idea the telephone business is uninteresting, monotonous and lacking in challenge-do us a favor. Talk to someone who works for Southwestern Bell.
Ask the engineer who's in charge of a million-dollar expansion program how
"dull" it is. Ask the technician who's planning vital microwave and cable routes for defense installations. Ask the sales representative who's just completed work on a nationwide data communications network.
Dull? Ask the operator who has just handled a life-or-death telephone call.
Boring? Ask all the telephone people who helped restore service after a devastating storm.
The business of our business is the lively art of communications. It's a lookahead, on-your-toes, makeit-happen business.
But dull?
Don't you believe it!
