Black Feminist
Speaks
In the Black Cultural Arts Center.
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

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.

about women's lib from
initial skepticism to active
involvement.
"I'm a writer...and about
five years ago I was going
to do a story on all those
funny bra-burners and then
come back with a very
satirical article on how silly
they were. Well, I went out
and attended one of their
on Friday. If you can't make
it, stop by W-153 and tell
us your special talents and

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. The
organization is for all stu
dents, faculty members
and staff, both women and
men. Discussion at the last
meeting was concerned
with such things as the
opening of a Women's
Center here at Capitol Cam
pus, a Child Care Center for
children of school age,
equal housing for students
with school age children,
medical care, birth control,
and a tutorial service for
students who are returning
to school after many years
of non-involvement in
formal education.

these concerns or have

The Student Govern
ment Association wishes
to point out a fact you may
not be aware of. In each
suite of Professors' offices,
there exists a thick blue
binder which is called a
Course Manual. This
Manual contains an in
depth description of many
courses and in some in
stances, recommends pre
requisites. We spoke with
Dean Wolf earlier this term
and he assured us that the
Manual is available to all
students for their review.

Good Peoples produc
tions, while planning this
Spring's festivities, decid
ed that if there was going
to be a concert, there was
also going to have to be
more money, and so it
came to pass that Casino
Night was born.
Casino night will be your
chance to make that bundle
of cash you have always
wanted. Booths are being
set up by almost every
organization on campus,
and games will range from
the wheel of fortune to a
kissing booth (sponsored
by the girls in Wrisberg).
Faculty judges will award
prizes to the booth with the

this very tough competition
which attracted 43 partici

that interest you, then
check out the Course Man
ual found in each office
suite. If you still draw a
blank then seek and track
down the Professor to find
out specific course content
texts, and requirements.
We were informed that
costs would be too high for
course descriptions to be
longer than they now are,
so that is why the Course
Manual in the blue binder
exists. The burden of find
ing out what you're getting
into rests on your
shoulders. Have a good
semester.
