BY Doug Gibboney Declaring "women can stop Wall Street if we or ganize all the secretaries," Clarey Jones of the Nation al Black Feminist Organiza tion addressed 25 Capitol students in the Black Stu dent Union lounge last Friday. Ms. Jones, who was re cently featured on the NBC Tarnbetm ':' teting All undergraduate and graduate students interest ed in working on publica tion of Tamhelm, the Capi tol literary magazine, are urged to attend an organi zational meeting in Room E 330 on Friday, Feb 21, at 1:45. Tamhelm has been in existence for three years. Chartered and funded by SGA, it has potential for becoming a noteworthy publication. It needs a small committed editorial staff and contributions-- poetry, short stories, drama, literary essays, photography, and other art forms--from students, fa culty, and staff. Writers who feel they cannot contribute much time are nevertheless en couraged to attend the meeting and share ideas. Photographers and others with expertise in art forms which can be printed on off-set are most welcome. Those with magazine ex perience at other schools can help in many ways. If there is sufficient in terest, the Tamhelm group could become a campus literary club, sponsoring discussions, poetry read ings, literary films, visiting writers. In past years, a consortium with similar groups at Dickinson, Lebanon Valley and other area colleges was discus sed. Capitol is not short of creativity and ideas, but they need to be nurtured.

OUR COVER PHOTO BY JOHN FISHER, Photo Club PENN STATE UNIVERSITY consciousness raising ses sions and decided they weren't so funny after all." Ms. Jones said there are three stages of develop ment in the women's move ment. In the beginning, there is the realization of just how broad and impor tant the problem is. Later this recognition turns into frustration and anger with men who show "oinker" tendencies. Finally, Jones said, you come to realize it is the system and not the individual to blame. According to Ms. Jones, the lib movement provides a bridge for white and black women to "communicate in a way that has never been available before." Still she believes, "Any thing that affects white women probably kills black women" and in many ways "white women promote sexism for they teach their children how to behave in society." "I don't picket bars that don't serve women for I have other needs - like day care center. I can't leave my children with the maid to go out and do a number." Ms. Jones called recent television programs like Sanford and Son "a step backward" for minorities. She also cited Flip Wilson's Geraldine as being degrading to women. "Ultimately," she said, "sexism and racism robs you of your humanity. The women's movement has the potential to break up a racist system." What's All About? It's all about women and it's all about men. It's all about how to get along with ourselves and with each other. Come find out what it's all about at the N.0.W.-National Organiza tion for Women - meeting which will be held on Feb 28 at 2:00 p.m. Posters will be put up sometime before the meeting to let you know where it will be held and to remind you that we want you to join us. This is a new chapter of the National Organization for Women, we have been chartered by the S.G.A. and have been funded.
