Reversing a declining membership trend, sororities are experiencing a resurgence in popularity. To meet women's increasing demands, the Panhellenic Council may in vite more sororities to Penn State. If presen tations from the nine national sororities not already on campus are favorable, Penn State could see a greek invasion like that of Troy. However, unlike Troy, sororities have every right to be here. That's not the prob lem. Difficulties arise when the magi Cal word "housing" is mentioned. Where will mem bers of the new sororities live? Fifteen percent of available housing space goes toward reserved space, which includes sororities and interest houses. The space is not yet filled, so if more When inequality On a hot August day in 1892, Lizzie Borden —carrying an ax supposedly slipped into the second floor guest bedroom of her home where her • stepmother was making the bed. Lizzie struck the woman 19 times, slicing a five-inch hole in her skull. She let the body remain where it had fallen. After ninety minutes of doing household chores, she greeted her father by telling him his wife had gone out for a sick call. She then swung the ax at his head 10 times, cracking a cheekbone and severing an eye in half. A little after midnight on August 9, 1969, Charles Manson and a group of his "Family" entered Sharon Tate's residence outside of Los Angeles. When they left several hours later, all five people in the house were dead. Although Manson was the focus of the publicity, two women were convicted for taking a substantial part in the murders. Twenty-one-year-old Susan Atkins re called the stabbing of Tate that night with chilling pride. "It felt so good the first time I stabbed her, and when she screamed at me it did something to me, sent a rush through me, and I stabbed her again," Atkins told a celimate in prison. Why, the cellm ate asked, why did she and the others do it? We "wanted to do a crime that would shock the 'world, that the world would have to stand up and take notice," she replied. We've come a long way, or have we? For the past several years, the media, social scientists and women's groups have exploited FBI crime statistics to show that women are catching up with men in the commission of crime, especially serious, violent crime. Despite all the glorified gains stemming from wom an's fight for equality, however, "Lizzie Bordens" and "Susan Atkins" are not growing in numbers. Fortuna tely, they will remain extreme exceptions to a fairly consistent rule the arena of criminal violence is chiefly the domain of men. Darrell J. Steffensmeier, associate professor of so ciology at the University, wrote in a 1979 USA Today article that the claims of adult females "gaining" on • • • • • • 7 4 . o,2C.(Wakt_ sororities come to campus, they would merely be filling their alloted space. However, the master housing plan, which includes the 15 percent, is reviewed periodi cally and could be changed. But if the 15 percent figure is raised, there would be even less room in the dorms for independents. A question arises: Why don't sororities choose to have their suites located off cam pus? Is it possibe that underneath all of this is the antiquated idea that women should live on campus in grace and safety? Sororities should always be welcome at Penn State. But if the University must raise the 15 percent limit to accommodate the new sororities, it will unfairly displace independent students at a time when dorm contracts are at a premium. is a good thing men in crime were due to poor interpretation of the arrest statistics in the FBl's Uniform Crime Reports. "American women are not catching up with males in the commission of violent, masculine, serious, or white-collar crimes," Steffensmeier wrote. Two fallacies originate from the perversion of FBI data. The first fallacy contends that the proportion of females arrested for serious crimes (homicide, aggra vated assault, larceny, etc.) has increased dramati cally, and the increase has been greater among women than men. This fallacy creates an inaccurate vision of sudden swarms of women murderers viciously stalking their victims. While serious crimes increased, the shift is attributed to arrests for larceny and shoplifting, not mass murder and assaults. The second fallacy perpetrates the false idea that as women become more involved in "male" activites and try to imitate the male role in society, they become more like men in crime, particularly masculine crime. Masculine crime, according to Steffensmeier, includ es those crimes involving the use of "physical strength, elements of coercion and confrontation with a victim, and/or specialized skills." Although a small increase'for these types of crimes occurred from 1965 to 1976, the increases were almost identical for men and women. For bath masculine and violent crimes (murder, aggravated assault, robbery, etc.), women have not gained any ground against men. If women are becoming more criminal at all, it is in the areas of traditional "feminine" crimes shoplift ing, bad check writing and credit card fraud. And women are not being arrested for professionally or occupationally related frauds typically thought of as "white-collar" crime. One reason women are not catching up with men in crime is because the barriers have not been broken in legitimate occupations conducive to criminal activity truck driver, dock worker and mechanic. Another reason for women's lag behind men is that in the criminal arena, traditional sex roles and sexist attitudes persist quite strongly. Steffensmeier concluded his article by suggesting that increases in female crime might be "welcome" to feminist groups because the shift would imply that women are more important criminals, and consequent ly more important people. But importance or worth should not be measured in terms of a negative talent the ability to commit serious, sensational-type crimes. Instead, gains won by women in positive areas, such as employment and politics, and the fact that women stray from commis sion of serious crimes should receive more acclaim. Crime should be one battle women would willingly concede equality in. Renae Hardoby is an 11th-term prelaw major and associate editorial editor of The Daily Collegian. In remembrance On Dec. 9, at about 1 a.m., a heavily armed force of 100 helicopter-borne South African commandos invaded Lesotho's capital, Maseru, and mur dered more than 40 unarmed civil ians, many of whom were women and children (at last count, more than five women and two children were among those reported murdered by South African troops). According to eyewitness reports in The New York Times and The Wash ington Post, many of these innocent victims were blown apart or cre mated as they huddled terrified in their apartments, shot to death as they lay on the ground, or injured after jumping from or through win dows as high as the second or third floor. South Africa claims that its troops were in pursuit of African National Congress guerrillas and that those killed, with the exception of a few innocent bystanders caught, in the "cross fire," were ANC guerrillas. All eyewitness accounts, without ex ception, note that there were no "cross fires" and that those mur dered were refugees registered with the Lesotho Interior Ministry and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. In fact, the only known resistance to South Africa's barbaric onslaught appeared to take place at the resi dence of Mr. Mathabatha Sexwale and his wife Buni. They appeared to have fought back and escaped al though the house was devastated (blown up). It should be noted that this is not the first report, nor perhaps the most II rector: Randy Rigdon; Co-op Coordinator: Sue Kiser; da t ily Collegian Marketing Manager: Barry Reichenbaugh; National Ad Manager: Donna Streletzky; Assistant National Ad Man ager: Lynn McLaughlin.

In the past year, South African troops and hired mer cenaries have invaded the sovereign territory of at least six neighboring states, i.e., Seychelles, Zimbabwe, Angola, Mozambique, Botswana and Zambia. South Africa's atrocities have included letter bombs, car bombs and assassination. This latest attack, however, ap pears to escalate this violence against civilians • to a new level, in that the invaded state has no capacity whatsoever to defend its citizens and those unfortunate refugees that fled apartheid oppression in the land of their birth South Africa (Lesotho has no standing army or defense force). This invasion was so brutal that even South Africa's strongest attack ally, the United States, sharply de nounced the South African attack, a denouncement which placed the Unit ed States' condemnation of South Africa with extreme condemnations voiced by Lesotho's Foreign Minister Charles Malapo, U.N. Sec. Gen. Jav ier Perez de Cuellar, the British gov ernment and Shridath Ramphal, secretary general of the 41-nation commonwealth (among others). We would hope that Americans are just as concerned about the lack, of freedom and personal security in South Africa and Southern Africa in general as they are about such lost or "non-existent" rights in Poland. We would hope that Americans would take the time to investigate the sys- - tem of brutality, apartheid, that blacks and other non-whites • are forced to endure in the South African 01982 Collegian Inc Paul Rudoy Business Manager Republics as well as the threat of a brutal death threatened by the Re public of South Africa to all those within or without its borders, who dare challenge South Africa's brutal apartheid regime.
