Primary issues discussed at the event were how American society socializes with a masculine/feminine idealism, and what could be done to get past the barrier of imbalance.
Grospitch said his 3-year-old son had the mentality where he is taught what males and females do. He wants to raise future generations in a way that doesn't teach assumed gender roles.
The five men, from various backgrounds, stated their belief in themselves as male feminists, and how they came to be that way. They said men can become involved in the feminist movement by accepting all humans as equal and educating others to resist buying into society's traditional gender roles.
The next CSW event will be the Woman's Recognition and Awards Ceremony at 7:30 p.m. April 4.

King
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
On a trip to Oklahoma for a Big Seven Conference game, the team, including King, stayed in a hotel on campus. But when they got to the train station there, he followed the team into the waiting room, not realizing there was a separate room for "colored people." He was asked to leave.
The news media paid little attention to the discrimination he faced, he said.
The newspapers "were just as racist" as everyone else, he explained with his thick, baritone voice.
King said his coaches, Phog Allen and Dick Harp, ultimately got fed up with his treatment and "began to make a little noise."
When the team tried to eat at a restaurant in an air-port terminal and King was refused service, the coaches quickly arranged for a private room so the whole team could eat breakfast together. King recalled.
Jerry Waugh, Harp's assistant coach when he took over as coach in 1956, said Harp was meticulous in planning trips and insisted the team always stay together. Harp even rotated roommates for each trip so that two black players didn't always end up staring together.
When the Jajahawks went to the NCAA Regionals in 1957 in Dallas, they chose to stay in a Fort Worth-area hotel, which accepted blacks, rather than in the official tournament hotel, which didn't. No other teams at the tournament had a black player. Waugh said.
Even at home in Lawrence, King said he faced discrimination. On home game days the team ate lunch in the Kansas Union, and then all of the white players took a bus somewhere, King recalled. The coaches always told King to go home and take a nap, and he thought nothing of it. Later he'd meet the team at a small café near campus for Ovation and celery right before the game. He said he always thought it was strange that the white players all showed up together on the bus, but he figured the bus just went around and picked them up.
He later learned that the team went to the Eldridge Hotel after lunch to take a nap. Hotel management at that time refused to allow blacks.
Lawrence was a segregated city. King said, "they subscribed to it. They were going along with segregation," he said, pointing out how hard it was to find restaurants that served blacks. One sandwich shop downtown allowed blacks to order sandwiches to go, but not to sit down in the restaurant, he recalled.
Things were actually better for King than most blacks because he was a celebrity. During Christmas break, he would hang out with teammates at their all-white fraternities, and then they would all go to a movie. He could sit with his teammates, rather than in the black section of the theater, and no one objected.
"Everyone in Lawrence pretty much knew me," he said. "When you're the only brown-skinned guy out there, who's not going to know you?"
In 1955, everything changed quickly. The Eldridge began to accept King as well, and so did everyone else. Wilt Chamberlain came to the University.
