A person must do what he
feels is best for himself said
journalists Lynn and Don
Haskin at a Women in
Communications, Inc. (WICI)
meeting last night.
In her talk', Mrs. Haskin
told the group, “Some of my
best friends are assertive and
most of the people are per
fectly normal.
“Assertiviness is ap
propriately standing up for
yourself, telling how you feel
and doing something about
it,” she said.
“We talk to each other
atfout traditional roles,”
Haskin. said in his talk,
“Deadlines and Dishpan
Hands: Two Careers One
Marriage." "We try to get
together and share the
housekeeping business so
neither one of us feels,
sligmatized by doing
something non-traditional.”
In addition to asser
tiveness, a person could also
be non-assertive or
aggressive, Mrs. Haskin said
in her talk, “some of my best
fiends are assertive.”
“According to Mrs. Haskin,
an example of non-assertive
behavior is the person who
wants to ask a prospective
boss several questions after
an interview, but stutters and

In the same situation, an
agressive person would be
pushy and loud in his gestures
and tone of voice while an
assertive person would
handle the situation calmly.
“With assertiveness
training, you have achoice;
The options are there and
its up to you to select what
you’re going to do,” she said.
“We decided to start to
share,” he said. “The learn
ing process was pretty
painful forcing yourself to
say this or that, or criticizing,
constructively, this or that, is
painful.”
According to Haskin, he has
learned he can’t have dinner
until the shopping’s done, and
she has learned that dust
really does go under beds.
"You have to ask your
selves if you’re out of place
changing a tire (if you’re a
woman) or making a
chocolate mousse (if you’re a
man)." he said.

House, Senate hustle to adjourn...
WASHINGTON (UPI)
Congress, moving toward
adjournment, yesterday
hurried an extension of
revenue sharing to the White
House.
But the rush to weekend
adjournment also killed a
major revision of federal
lobbying laws. An effort by
Sen. Abraham Ribicoff, D-
Conn., to bring it up in the
Senate was blocked by Sen.
John G. Tower, R-Tex.
Speaker Carl Albert and
Acting Senate Democratic
Leader Robert Byrd said they
were optimistic the 94th
Congress could adjourn late
today but there remained
fears the session could spill
over to tomorrow and
possibly even into next week.

Keeping to his promise,

he would sign both a $3.7

public works jobs and a bill

Refusing to risk a pocket

had decided not to quit
without either a veto or

WASHINGTON (UPI)
The Senate joined the House
yesterday in an over
whelming override of
President Ford’s veto of a
$56.6 billion measure funding
the Departments of Labor
and HEW, putting the
measure immediately into
law.
It was the 11th time in 27
attempts that Congress has
overturned a Ford veto. The
President has vetoed 59 bills
since taking office two years
ago.
