Movies celebrate women
By Ines Shuk

To commemorate Women's History Month, the KU Commission on the Status of Women will present a film festival at 7 tonight at the Kansas Room in the Kansas Union.
The Women's Film Festival consists of three movies that portray issues concerning today's women, two movies that portray two presidents of the commission.
The festival is being financed by Student Senate with assistance from Student Union Activities. It is the first time the commission has had the opportunity to celebrate Women's History Month with a central event, Culp said.
National Women's History Month was created in 1987 by a resolution that has been approved annually by Congress with bipartisan support. It is observed nationally to recognize the historic contributions of U.S. women to the growth and strength of
"The film festival is a well-rounded event," Culp said. "Our goal is to celebrate the effect that women have had in history."
The three movies that will be presented will cover educational and historical aspects of women, she said.
the nation.
"The Author: Emily Dickinson," a 1978 film, captures some of the spirit and daring of this诗作 by recreating a quiet afternoon with her.
"It brings a warm and mystical feeling of Dickinson," Culp said about the 22-minute film.
The second film, "Growing Up Female," one of the first movies of the modern feminist movement, is used for its historical content, she said.
The main piece of the festival, "Julia," is Lillian Hellman's tribute to a friend. It was produced under the direction of Fred Zinnmann, starring Jane Fonda and Vanessa Redgrave. "Julia" will be presented at 8:30 p.m., Culp said.
Kshama Gargesh, a graduate assistant at the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center, said other activities related to Women's History Month would be presented by that office.
On March 27, a lecture entitled "How good do you feel about yourself?" will address issues such as self-esteem, self-confidence, acceptance of imperfections and recognition of strengths.
On March 28, the center will present a workshop, "Auto Mechanics for Beginners."
Culp said the commission would have the Women's Recognition Awards in mid-April, in which outstanding KU women will be honored.
Speaker calls for pay equity
On March 29, Sandra Zimdar-Swartz, associate professor of religious studies, will lecture on "Women and Spirituality."
Women often earn less money than men do at the same job
By Carol B. Shiney Kansan staff writer
Women make an average of 64 cents for every dollar that men make, the president of the Lawrence chapter of the National Organization for Women said last night.
"Work that women do has been traditionally undervalued," said Cristi Hansen; NOW president.

The said that pay equity was the goal that should be reached and that the best way to reach that goal was with comparable worth. Comparable worth is determined by comparing aspects of dissimilar jobs.
Hansen and Jill Frese, treasurer and steering committee member of the Manhattan Coalition for Pay Equity, spoke to about 25 women at the Pine Room in the Kansas Union. They spoke for "Equal Pay For Equal Work," a program sponsored by the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center during National Women's History Month.

"Certain jobs pay less simply because they are held predominantly by women," stated a filier handed out at the program. "Pay equity can eliminate this sex discrimination by requiring employers to pay the same wage for jobs given the same value."

Two systems of comparable worth used to reach pay equity are "a priori" she said.

She said legislators needed to be educated about the importance of pay equity so that they could in turn enact laws.
A priori is a predetermined system of criteria for determining job worth
and pay. For policy capturing, a statistical analysis for a company is done to determine the criteria; there are no predetermined criteria.
Fresse said one idea was for the state to have pay equity, which would mean it could pay its workers better and get better workers. This would not force private businesses to comply with pay equity by legislation, but instead, force them to compete to get the good workers.
