Speaker addresses minorities
By Julie Adam Kansan staff writer
By Julie Adam
Women and minority students entering the job market need to know how to confront and surpass "The Glass Ceiling," a speaker at the Minority Engineering Symposium said yesterday.
Wes Duran, a representative of Caterpillar, Inc., explained to minority college and high school students the principle of a glass ceiling that most minorities face in the job market.
Women and minorities face the glass ceiling when they are in a job position and reach the middle management level but are not promoted higher. Duran said.
Duran spoke at a two-day Minority Engineering Symposium for minority high school seniors, which was sponsored by SCoMREBE, KU's minority engineering organization; the KU Society of Women Engineers; and Kansas State University's minority engineering organization. Yesterday was the last day of the symposium.
Duran said that the glass ceiling was preventing minorites and women from reaching top positions because it was difficult for them to get into the social atmosphere of a
corporation or company.
"They were not given the key to what we call the 'Good Old Boys Club.'" he said.
More than 80 representatives from 37 corporations attended the symposium in the Holiday Inn Holidome, 200 MacDonald Drive, to present workshops, accept job resumes from students and meet prospective employees.
Duran said that minorities needed not only to be interested in the mechanics and relations of their company, but they also needed to become involved in the social atmosphere outside of the workplace.
By becoming involved in activities outside their own minority group, employees can learn how to relate in any work situation and therefore can start removing the confines of the glass ceiling. Duran said.
Leroy Armstrong, Allied Bendix Aerospace employee, addresses a group of area high-school and college students during the Minority Engineering Symposium.
"You have to become part of mainstream America," Duran said. "You will never understand how to act in that environment if you never get out in it."
Deborah Stephenson, Leavenworth senior, said during the discussion part of the presentation that one way for minorities to get inside the corporate structure was to volunteer time outside of work. That way, top-level management people might tend to remember the volunteer time when promotions come up.
"Don't think you can be a self-made man, because there is no self-made man."
Duran told the students to keep in mind that in corporate America, they needed to deal with their co-workers and superiors on the golf course as well as in the office.
Professor looks at lessons of Rome
By a Kansan reporter
Studying the fall of the Roman Republic can help people understand corruption in the U.S. government, a history professor said last night.
The professor, James Seaver, said the current situation in the United States sometimes was compared to the fall of the Roman Empire. But he said the comparison was inaccurate because of differences in government structure during the Empire, such as an emperor ruling with unlimited powers.
Seaver was director of the University of Kansas' Western Civilization program for 27 years, and he has been teaching at the University for about 40 years. He
spoke last night to about 100 people in the Kansas Union's Woodruff Auditorium about the Roman Republic and the importance of understanding its decline.
Seaver's speech could be one of his last at the University because he is retiring after this semester.
He said the people failed to notice when the republic began to deteriorate. This was the case when one man, Octavian, destroyed his rivals by force and established himself as ruler without popular consent.
"Citizens of a republic need to be reminded about the problems and mistakes made by republics of the past, especially mistakes made on the basis of expediency," Seaver said.
