I —The Daily Collegian Thursday, Ocl. 30, 1986. Women's conference Writer to By ERIC SCHMIDT Collegian Staff Writer Robin Morgan, an internationally acclaimed writer on women’s rights and feminism, will speak on “Inter national Feminism” to kick off the Undergraduate Student Govern ment’s Department of Women’s Con cerns “Sisterhood is Global” Conference at 8 tonight in Schwab Auditorium. “Ms. Morgan has well documented the status of women internationally,” said Sabrina Chapman, director of the Center for Women Students. “She speaks knowledgeably, articulately, and powerfully of the global need for positivq change in women’s status.” Dana Froke, co-director of the De partment of Women’s Concerns, said the “Sisterhood is Global” Confer ence is an outgrowth of a conference in Nairobi, Kenya, last year marking the end of the United Nation’s Decade of Women. The United Nations had originally set aside 1975 for the study of issues concerning womfcn, Froke said, but, in a conference in Mexico City at the conclusion «of that year, delegates decided that a year was not long enough and expanded the period to a decade.

We wanted something like this at the University.” ‘They were all of different backgrounds and they shared things and they’ve stayed in touch with one another.’ The main part of the Conference will be divided into several sessions scheduled for Saturday, Froke said: • 9 to 10 a.m. Opening remarks in the HUB Fishbowl by Sharon Par ker from the National Institute for Women of Color. • 10:1 a.m. A choice of two Congratulations Dana Froke Janet Korab Heather Rebhun Erika Secrist workshops: “Violence Against Wom en” in 320 HUB or “Women and Aging” in 301 HUB. • 11:30 a.m. A choice of three workshops: “Women and World Lit erature” in 320 HUB, “Gods of Our Fathers” (women in religion) in 310 HUB, or “Women in the Media” in 305 HUB. • 12:30 p.m. A brown bag lunch in the HUB Ballroom with all the people from the various workshops. • 1:30 p.m. A choice of three workshops: “Women in Technology: Tools for Progress or Poverty” in 305 HUB, “Women, Politics, Power: Cri sis of Leadership” in 301 HUB, or “Women in Education: The Cross- Cultural Perspective” in 320 HUB. • 2:15 p.m. A choice of two workshops: “Feminism in Devel oping Countries” in 305 HUB, or “Creating a Peaceful Future: Com ing into Our Own” (women in the peace movement) in 320 HUB. • 3:15 p.m. An information ta ble in the HUB Fishbowl providing literature from various women’s or ganizations on campus and an addi tional chance for conference participants to speak with people from the workshop. • 1:15 p.m. A summary of the day’s events. gikronichV kfonich/kfonichV kronlchV kronithVkranlchVrkronichV kfonlchV kronlchV kronlchV kronich/ kranich/kranichV kronich/ kronichV kronich/kronich*/ kronich/ kronich*/ kronich/.y BSCAR not conceding divestment fight to BAAD By ERIC SCHMIDT Collegian Staff Writer Despite statements made by a black alumni group saying it' is taking over the efforts of the Black Student Coalition Against Racism, BSCAR members say they have noi been ineffective in the struggle for University divestment. Members of Black Alumni Advo cating pivestment said during a recent press conference with Uni versity President Bryce Jordan that it will take over BSCAR’s efforts to pressure administrators to divest the University’s $8.7 mil lion holdings in South Africa. But Carlton Waterhouse, BSCAR chairman, said BSCAR did not expect to bring about divestment immediately. BSCAR has brought the South African issue to the atten tion of University students, he said. Anita Thompson, a 1979 Universi ty alumna and BAAD spokeswo man, said the organization will have more of an effect on the University administration because the' group took the initiative to ‘l’m sure (the administration) just hoped that the group would just blow away.’ Carlton Waterhouse, BSCAR chairman return to the University and do something about its continued in vestments. “In a way, the University may not have respected the students as much,” Thompson said, “but there’s always a problem when people come back and protest an issue. “I think we could have raised the issue why aren’t the sidewalks painted yellow and (the University administrators) would have been concerned,” she said. Waterhouse said he agreed that students might not have been taken seriously by the administration. “I’m sure (the administration) just hoped that the group would just blow away,” Waterhouse said. Students do not have the same input as alumni because they gen erally do not contribute money to the University, Waterhouse said. “The biggest amount of money that students control is their tu ition,” Waterhouse said, “and I don’t think they are ready to pull a tuition strike.” Thompson said alumni are also in a position to be better organized because they have been out in the workforce for some time. However, until BAAD can get on its feet, she said, it will be turning to BSCAR for current information about the divestment situation at the University. BSCAR has been relatively inac tive this fall because it has been in the process of joining the Black Caucus Political Services Commit tee, Waterhouse said. However, now that the process is completed, BSCAR will be more active.
