Alumna: Women still struggling
By ERIC SCHMIDT
Collegian Stafl Writer
Fifteen years ago when Rachel Newman asked her
editor at Ladies’ Home Journal for a raise, he told her,
“Honey, why don’t you just get married and get
somebody to take care of you.”
“1 remember feeling frustrated and not doing any
thing about it,” Newman said “Today, I’d say I want
the raise because I deserve it.”
Newman, editor of Country Living and Country
Cooking magazines, said yesterday that the publishing
industry has become more accessible to women within
the past 20 years because of society’s general accep
tance of women in the workplace. But womep still face
disadvantages in the industry.
Newman, a 1960 University alumna with a degree in
Arts and Letters, was the guest speaker at a program
titled “Women in Publishing” part of the Women’s
Studies Department’s Brown Bag Lunch Series.
She has also studied at the New York School of
Interior Design and did post-graduate work in anthro
pology at Hunter College in New York.
Although women will stand up for their rights today,
they still-have low salaries in the industry, Newman
said. A beginning staff member in either of her
magazines can expect to make about $14,000 a year. It
is almost impossible for someone to live in a city on
that salary, Newman said.
“In the old days, (beginning staffers) could gang up
in a one-bedroom apartment,” Newman said, “but
landlords now won’t allow more than two.”
Many editorial staff members’ financial problems
can be traced to the management’s reluctance to
provide adequate funding for salaries, Newman said.
Management for her publication considers salaries to
be the most flexible part of a magazine’s budget.
Therefore, when submitting the magazine’s budget,
salaries are often the first to get cut, she said.
“Management has never had to work in the editorial
area,” Newman said, “and they don’t understand our
problems and they are not sympathetic. It’s a lot easier
for me to get money for two new desks than a $5OO raise
for someone.”
One advantage editorial staff members have is a
great degree of autonomy, Newman said. Often that
will make up for the lack of salary, she said.

Crash simulator urges buckling up
University Police Services will add a little
physical persuasion to the seatbelt campaign
during the next couple of weeks. But they’re
calling in some out-of-town help.
The Convincer, a 12-foot, gravity-powered car
crash simulator, will be at various locations dem
onstrating the need for safety belts. Every 8-mph
ride on the Convincer ends with an abrupt crash.
Lisa Harbach, a University police cadet, said
the simulator proves the effectiveness of seat
belts.
“We’re trying to have the people feel what it’s
like to stop so suddenly,” Harbach said.
The Convincer is tentatively scheduled to pro
vide simulated crashes from Oct. 29 to Nov. 7 from
8 a.m. to 5 p.m. in front of the HUB and at various
locations on campus.
David Venerus (graduate-chemical engi
neering) said the Convincer was fun and after
riding it once, he said he wanted to do it again.
“It kind of hurts,” he said. “If you’re not ready
for it, it can knock the wind out of you.”
Susan Holley (sophomore-elementary educa
tion) said, “Okay! I’m convinced! It’s more than
enough.”
“I always wear a seat belt because I’ve come too
close to being killed,” she said. “Most of my
friends are poor drivers.”
Karen White (senior-microbiology) said she
wears the seat belt when she sits in the front.
“It’s kind of like a habit,” she said.
The Convincer felt like it was going a lot faster
than 8 mph, White said. She said it felt like she just
rode an amusement park ride.
Venerus said it is stupid not to wear safety belts,
but laws can’t force people to be smart.

Jj propriations play an impor

But Penn State is falling be

currently receives far less than Pitt, Temple and the state-owned
universities in state funding per student. Penn State, trying to do
more with less, has been forced to continually raise tuition. George
Field recognizes this problem and its effects on our area. That is
why George Field has proposed a plan to mobilize PSU’s potential

Protecting
Our Environment
George Field recognizes that a clean safe environment is es
sential to maintain our quality of life. Freedom from toxic waste
and protection of critical watersheds are a priority in the state’s
environmental program. But it takes a vigilant public and an active
state representative to insure that the state’s environmental laws
are enforced and observed. George Field will work hard to protect
the Centre Region from the ravages of toxic waste and the pollu
tion of watersheds.
Attract Clean
Advanced Industry
By preserving our quality of life, we will continue to attract
advanced industry to the Centre Region. George Field recognizes
the initiative taken by local governments to attract this type of
industry. But to do this, Penn State must remain a strongly
competitive educational and research institution, and our en
vironment must remain clean.
