Mil I.AFFERTYGETS THE POINT Dear editor: On behalfofthe Utah Board ofPardons, I would like to correct some misconceptions in the article "The Seduction of]ustice: OneJuror's View ofthe Dan Lafferty Trial," Network, March 1985. i-4111l4 ... A Miss Roberta Peters cordially requests the honor ofyour presence at her performance as • n(JV[llry Widow" with the Utah Opera Company on May 9, 11, 13 and JS, 1985. Time: 8:00 PM. Place: Capitol Theatre Tickets on sale March 18 Tickets on sale at the Utah Opera Box Office 50 West 200 South / 11 am to 6 pm / Monday thru Friday Phone orders 533-5555 with Visa, Mastercard or American Express Tickets also available at all Datatix outlets ZCMI stores and the Salt Palace The author says that Dan Lafferty will" ... be up for automatic parole review in 25 years," and prosecutor Wayne Watson was quoted as saying··... his first parole review date is at least 20 years away." In fact, neither is correct. The policy ofthe Board ofPardons is to hold the original parole hearing approximately a year from the date of commitment to the Utah State Prison for those sentenced to five years to life or life imprisonment. It is done at this time so that information, memories and facts are still fresh when the Board hears the case. This means Mr. Lafferty will be heard inJanuary of 1986. A1 that time, the Board will examine the facts ofthe case, consider the aggravating and mitigating circumstances, and make a decision regarding Mr. Lafferty's future. It should be made dearthatjust because he is given a hearing, it doesn't necessarily mean that Mr. Lafferty will receive a parole date. It has generally been the practice ofthe Board to give individuals convicted of crimes ofthis type a rehearing at some time in the future. It is also the Board's policy that those with five-to-life sentences serve at least five years and those with life sentences serve a good deal longer than that. Mr. Lafferty would therefore probably serve at least 20 years on the four consecutive counts offive-to-life, plus whatever additional time the Board decides is appropriate for the two consecutive life sentences. It should also be noted that a decision ofthis type would be subject to review by a subsequent Board ofPardons, in the event the current makeup ofthe Board changes. Sincerely, Paul W.

Geraldine Ferraro has taken money for a 1V ad. Some are embarrassed. Some wish she hadn't done it. Some suffer. She is not super-human. She is notJoan ofArc. All during her campaign we held our collective breaths when she was up against tough situations and we drew a collective breath ofreliefwhen she came through magnificently. She was smarter and quicker than any ofthe other three candidates in the Presidential-VP race. She was mo.re exciting and she was history-making. And she took more heat. She faced the ugliness ofthe single-issue fanatics and the heartbreak of criticism from her own church. But she did okay. Now she has the nerve to take money for a Pepsiad. Maybe this strong and capable woman is tired ofpaying the price. Maybe she doesn't see any political future for herself, perhaps because her husband's problems have been fairly serious. Maybe she thinks her current celebrity will last only a short while and then she will have neither a political future nor anything to sell in the marketplace. I'm willing to accept her decision to make some money when she can and when she needs it. She is making it honestly. I don't think we have to be saints, we women, in order to be treated equally and to contribute equallyin this world of politics and commerce and science and education and the arts. The fact is that the taboo has been broken. A woman can be a vice president and therefore a president. We can't go back now. Politics will never be the same in this country. I'm grateful for Geraldine Ferraro for having the courage to take the first hard and painful step. Ifshe cannot be called a heroine because she is not willing to ~aifice herself completely, I am still an admirer.

Ferraro toyed In other words, they chose her because she with all our expectations by making that was a symbol, because people believe in her, commercial.

And what is her men, who have also violated a trust they have message? To her daughter, and therefore to all built with vulnerable people. Bill Cosby was young women: "You can be anything you want wrong, I believe, to sell childrenjell-O after he to be. And you can still be a mother. And you had been enticing them into the delights of can still be loved." Not bad, as 60-second learning on the Eectric Company. Alan Alda . messages go. Indeed, it's the same message I should not have taken money to help Atari try to convey to my daughter and to every lure the loyal following ofteens he had young girl or woman I can influence. collected as the compassionate Hawkeye on Which brings me to the expectations of young women. They expect basically the same things all young girls have always expected. They expect that they will get married and be taken care of. They expect to be wives for life, mothers forever, protected always. Ofthose three they can only depend on being mothers forever, ifthey get pregnant. And most ofthem will. Beyond that, they're on their own. The world is filled with betrayed young women who did not get what they expected. They are poor, and angry, and without hope. Fathers, mothers, schools, churches, no one is telling young women the truth: that they must be able to care for themselves economically; that ifthey have children, they must also be able to take care ofthem. Until the last thirty years, husbands have provided a living for their wives and children and wives have been able to swvive under the protection oftheir husbands. Now the world has changed. Since the early 50s, the divorce rate has risen until two in three marriages now end. In the United States and the world, the single greatest predictor ofthe economic health ofa woman is her marital status. When a man is divorced, his income increases 42 percent. When a woman is divorced, her income decreases 73 percent. This woman usually has children. Her ex-husband usually does not pay child support (in two thirds ofthe cases). Worst ofall, too many young women have lived in families and churches and schools where none ofthe people around them expected much from them in terms oftheir economic productivity. Hence, they grow up believing that there isn't really much they can do, not really very many things they can become. Studies that I have quoted in earlier editorials remind us that neither girls nor boys expect much ofgirls. Dr. Alice I. Baumgartner and her colleagues at the Institute for Equity in Education at the University of Colorado asked 2,000 school children across Colorado to imagine being the opposite sex. Baumgartner used the word" contempt" to describe how children from large metropolitan areas and small rural communities in'grades 3 through 12 felt about being female. Boys said ifthey were girls they wouldn't be able to have fun, that everyone else would be better than they were, that they would be afraid for their physical safety, that no one would pay attention to them, that it would be hard to be as "gorgeous" as they needed to be. Girls agreed. "lfl were a boy, I could do more stuffbetterthan I do now," and "People would take my decisions and beliefs more seriously," said an eleventh-grader. "Ifl were a boy, my whole life would be easier," claimed a sixth-grader. "I would be treated better; I would get paid more and be able to do more things." Gloria Steinem once said that women were becoming the men they had expected to marry. Perhaps that is true for a few. For the many, the expectations of selfor offuture have not changed. Perhaps that is why Ferraro made the Pepsi commercial. Maybe she knows that more young girls watch Pepsi commercials than watched the Democratic National Convention. Perhaps she used Pepsi-Cola USA blatantly, as they appear to have used her, in order to get her message across to those who most need to hear it Ifso, she did just what I would have expected ofher.

AroundTown Many compliments to Governors Bangerter and Matheson for the professional manner in which the transition between the administrations was handled.

She desaibes a fiiend, the "administrative assistant" in the office, who once got into a lively conversation at a party with the wife ofa faculty member. "Are you teaching here?" the faculty wife asked the administrative assistant. "Well, no, actually I'm a secretary," she replied. The professor's wife looked amazed. "Don't worry," she said. "Nobody would ever guess." Llke so many ofthe people who hold organizations together and see that work actually gets done, the administrative assistant was labeled - and labeled herself - 'jUSt a secretary." The self-deprecation is not unusual. Though some secretarial positions offer challenge, diversity, power and opportunity, many secretaries are restricted to monotonous duties and even subjected to abuse. On the whole, the occupation has a bad image and is low-paid. The problems are difficult to solve because they are so deeply rooted. The image traces back to historical developments around the tum ofthe century. The duties ofsecretarialjobs often reflect entrenched organization policies. One ofthe problems has been that many secretaries have placed a secure paycheck aheadoftheirownintegrity. In 1900, the only jobs open to women were in garment mills or as domestics. Then the typewriter was invented. Afewwomen started learning to type well in an effort to move into business. Gradually women, who were willing to work for less pay, began displacing men as secretaries. Soon the occupation became tagged as low paying, as women's work. Reform is needed within the occupation if only because so many people are and will be affected. In 1950, there were 4 million secretaries and clerical workers in the United States. By 1980, therewere20million The steady increase in positions is expected to continue into the information-high technology economy ofthe future. The Secretary magazine reports want ads for secretaries in major cities are up 13 percent just from last year, with one third ofnewjobs listed requiring computer skills. Concerned as secretaries are about pay, their chief complaint is lack of"status" - a characteristic defined by Washingtonian magazine recently as "that intangible mix of respect and the promise ofbetter things to come." This lack of status is exaggerated because more than 90 percent ofsecretaries are women, and they encounter false stereotypes about their sex as well as their occupation "There is a deep-rooted perception," writes Nan Hoaglund, a secretary in a Phoenix area school district, in The Secretmymagazine, "that the secretary is a second-class citizen/employee - a person who has little education, knowledge, ability, initiative or interest in the business world at large or in the immediate welfare ofthe employer/company." Hoagland continues: "In fact, ifa robot could be programmed to do the repetitive tasks required in the office, it might have some advantages over the person who is simply filling the chair from 8 to 5 - doing only those tasks he/she is directed to do." Recently, the Committee on Careeer Development for University Secretaries (CDUS) at the University ofUtah sent an extensive questionnaire to all campus secretaries. The form was returned by 359 ofthem. One ofthe most poignant comments came from someone who had been on the campus more than 30 years. "One ofthe biggest frustrations," she wrote, "is the way the role of the secretary is downgraded, ridiculed, and presented in such a way that you are ahnost sorry you ever decided to become a secretary and invest a lifetime of service in that role." Today, many males who work as secretaries won't admit they are secretaries. "They go under the guise ofdifferent titles," says Robert Metcalf, a "certified professional secretary" (CPS). (CPSs are certified by a professional association, Professional Secretaries International - see box.) Metcalf is .. administrative assistant and secretary" to the chiefexecutive officer ofF.agle Systems, Inc., Orem, Utah, a diversified corporation that includes a marketing firm, an energy conservation firm and a children's magazine. He decided to be a secretary because when he assessed his abilities and interests he found "it was what I really wanted to do." He says he is proud to include the term "secretary" in his title. The continuing problem secretaries have with Iow status and Iow pay is essentially a supply-and-demand problem. In the last 85 years, seaetarlaljobs and the skills teq\Jiredfor those jobs have increased. But during the same period, the influx ofwomen into the work force and into secretarial work (which was labeled early on as a field appropriate for women) has guaranteed employers a bountiful supply of secretarial candidates. The rich supply ofwomen for these jobs has kept wages low even though the skills demanded have increased. Responses to the CDUS survey give an indication of Salt Lake area pay, although University pay scales are probably a little behind private industry. More than 80 percent ofthe respondents had attended college and about one fourth had degrees. They averaged 9.6 years ofexperience. Yet fewer than one percent were making $20,000 a year, and 70 percent said they make between $8,000 and $15,000. Ukeitornot, however, someofthe occupation's problems have been caused by secretaries themselves. Some women make the conscious choice to not seek career advancement. They want a structured, 8-to-5 job that enables them to put first priority on their families or personal interests. Some even manage the family from the office telephone. Ifsecretaries are to gain true professional status, writes Hoagland, they" can not expect special treatment or time allowances caring for children oi- husband... Theymust be willing to work late, meet deadlines, do research outside the office and constantly upgrade skills and abilities. " Many organizations that employ secretaries have a vested interest in maintaining the status quo. Some secretaries say they are confined to doing only simple duties. Otherwise, the personnel office may re-evaluate the job and raise the pay, thus increasing costs. In other organizations, the supervisor can assign the secretary broad duties while taking the credit personally. The boss then has authority to veto a job evaluation A good number of secretaries, especia11y in Utah, are "working until" - until their boyfiiend comes home from a mission, until they get manied, until they get pregnant, notes Jennifer McKay, CPS, secretary to the chief executive officer ofEmco Mining Machinery Co. This means they don't seek responsibility or APRIL 1985/NETWOB 9 . stereotyped from here? Working to enhance their image u professionals, secmarles must fight both inner daa1J&s and soclata1 nereotypes In order to command the wages and nams their responsibilities deserve. wage increases and that they drop in and out of jobs. When a secretary who has only been working a year or two quits, he or she is replaced by another entry-level employee at an entry-level salary. "The turnover's been there to keep the pay scales low," says McKay. Then there are secretaries who value the job security offered by a low-paying, unsatisfactory position They need the money and are afraid to quit, even ifchangingjobs is the onlywayto advance. These women are caught in a cycle that defeats them. Theirjobs drain their self-esteem and their self-esteem is so low that they don't dare to look for a newjob. In the worst cases the secretary feels locked into the job, under the thumb ofa domineering or controlling boss, and becomes a target for abuse. The typical forms ofabuse are unreasonable work demands, expectations of personal services, and sexual harrassment. Perhaps the first step toward upgrading the secretarial occupation is malting entry a matter ofchoice. Ifonly people who really liked and wanted to do secretarial work became secretaries, there would probably be a secretarial shortage. Pay scales might rise, and men who are attracted to the job but in the past have been inhibited by the "women's work" stigma might begin to integrate the occupation There are many solid reasons for a young person to decide to become a professional secretary. Consider the following partial list of things three ofthe people interviewed for this article - Metcalf, McKay and Pat Hall, aforrner secretary and now senior administrative officer at the U,niversity ofUtah College of Nursing - have done in secretarialjobs. They have written and produced a newsletter, translated dollar amounts into various international currencies, communicated with people from various cultures world-wide, coordinated and been a member ofthe corporation's quality circle, supervised installation ofthe phone system, supervised remodeling and redecorating, and prepared spread sheets for corporate board meetings. Other items have included screening correspondence to the executive, drafting replies to some letters for his or her signature and passing on others for the boss's personal action: preparing presentations for bank funding; malting all arrangements for a national a book, I've experienced it personally. It enlarges teaching." , Top secretaries who were interviewed said they will, when necessary, oppose the boss. One ofOuffs bosses wanted her to "screen," to decide which calls to put through and tell others he wasn't in. "I said, 'I can't do that"' she recalls. "'I know you want me to do it but I can't' We talked it over and reached a compromise, and it worked out all right. I believe bosses respect you for that." All secretaries interviewed said that in a crunch, they will do personal favors such as ordering flowers, wrapping gifts, serving coffee, etc. as long as they feel bosses will reciprocate, such as by getting them coffee or occasionally doing their own typing. One secretary took a stand when such duties became an obligation Metcalf says that he started bringing in breakfast items from McDonald's for an early-morning sales meeting. "It became an expectation," he recalls. One morning he had been up all night with a sick child and was running late when the phone rang. Somebody wanted to know where breakfast was. "That was the last time I brought breakfast," says Metcal[ "It became a corporate issue and since then no secretary has been expected to bring breakfast." In summary, the route to improvement of the secretarial occupation seems to be labyrinthine. Pathways include changing the secretarial image, integrating men into the field, fostering self-esteem among secretaries and educating secretaries about the meaning and rewards ofprofessionalism. Those steps could be expected to lead to higher status and pay. For the individual secretary, the route is more straightforward. He or she must look for opportunity and exploit it. If opportunity doesn't come, says Metcalf, ifa job is unsatisfying, ifthe secretary is worth ~ore money and worth being treated better, he or she needs to "put on the hiking boots and hit the road." my meeting ofseveral hundred people; representing the company at trade shows; and serving as the donated secretary ofthe Provo Freedom Festival, Provo's Fourth ofJuly celebration Two ofthe secretaries say because they have such a personal relationship with the top executive, they have a lot ofinfluence. The secretary often has an overview ofthe total operation and a chance to see it from the perspective ofemployees and customers as well as from management's. "Your obseivations constitute another point ofview," says Metcal[ "Alot ofemployers aren't looking for a 'yes' person." It is vital, once a person has chosen to become a secretary and has been trained for the role, that he or she get into the right jobs and avoid the wrong ones. Bosses who are ''maintenance managers'' and likely to squelch change or initiative are probably the wrong bosses. It may be advantageous to get in on the ground floor ofa new operation or seek a job in the corporate office, rather than branch or division offices. The organization's expectations usually come out in the job interview. Hall recalls interviewing for a job at a trucking firm. "I was told outright that it was a babysittingjob,' that I was to take care of six salesmen," she says. "I already had five children at home. I didn't need that." On the job, secretaries who advance seem to be those who are assertive, who dp more than expected but negotiate rewards for their efforts, who are not intimidated by the boss and develop open communication with her or him, who enlarge their jobs, who dress professionally, and who never lose their composure. Equally important, they're willing to quit before they will compromise their integrity. As a secretary at ZCMI, Karen Ouff. who now owns her own personnel training and consulting finn, was put in charge ofthe corporate gift program. This involved selling merchandise or gift certificates to companies who in tum gave the items to employees at Christmas time. She went to her boss and said, "This is what they made last year. lfl double it, will you give me a bonus?" "In everyjob I've had, I've tried to make more ofit, assume responsibility from the boss and learn all I can abput the company," says McKay, who now makes over $20,0CX> a year plus bonuses. • In her previous job as secretary to an Emco vice president, she spent "a lot oftime in the shop learning what the machines look like and what they do." When she interviewed with her present boss, they walked through the shop together. He told her, "You do know what you're talking about. I bet you're the only lady here who knows so much about these machines." Undoubtedly, there are some offices in which secretaries are hired more as ornaments than as workers. Still, says Metcalf, appearance affects whether a person is taken seriously. 'Tve watched companies," notes Ouff. "The young person who dresses ahead ofhis or her position moves ahead." Although competition is intense, as it is in most fields, there are several possible advancement tracks for secreta.ties. McKay held four secretarialjobs before moving to Emco's corporate suite. Hall moved from being a secretary in a University vice president's office to various quasi-management posts and finally into a job in which she supervises 25 people. Ouff. who never attended college, once worked on the assembly line in a-paper bag plant. Later, she was a secretary at the University ofUtah, University Medical Center, Stanford Research Institute in California, and Valley Bank. Ultimately, she became the secretary to the manager ofZCMI's downtown store. During one annual evaluation, she asked him what options she might have for advancement. Three months later, she was promoted to the training department. Later, she directed company-wide training for conversion to on-line computerized cash registers. Five years ago, she and a friend launched the Professional Enhancement Center with plush offices in the Commercial Security Bank Tower. Oients have included IBM, Valtek, Utah Transit Authority, Utah Valley Hospital, the Utah Department ofSocial Services and major Salt Lake law firms. "Every step I took gave me the tools for the next step up," says Ouff.

PROFESSIONAL CERIU4CAIION FORSECRETARIES The "Certified Professional Secretary" rating is granted to secretaries who have at least six years ofprofessional experience and pass a six-part college-level examination covering behavioral science and business, economics and management, accounting, business law, office administration and communication, and office technology. It is a rigorous examination generally requiring coursework and extensive personal study. Applicants have six years to pass all sections. Many secretaries believe that in the future, the CPS rating will have the same status in the office as the CPA (Certified Public Accountant) does in the accounting firm or the a.u (Certified Llfe Underwriter) in insurance agencies. The rating is becoming a prerequisite for secretaries in supervisory roles or secretaries to corporate chiefexecutives. Many want ads on the F.ast and West coasts seek CPSs only.

Neivous - very, very dreadfullyneivous I had been and am; but whywill you say that I am mad?" Edgar Allan Poe comes to mind as I wakeupat6:00a.m. readyfora 10-hourday. Shakespeare answers, "Cowards die many times before their deaths; the valiant never taste of death but once." Fear isn't confined to literature. Daily, each ofus faces uncomfortable situations which produce fear. Iwonder ifGod gave me the right to choose my own challenges ifI would still choose to face 36 sophomores the day before Christmas vacation. Each job or task we accept has the potential for public humiliation or personal satisfaction Anticipation. frankly, may be more frightening than the task. Anticipation is the time of avoidance, the time ofaversion to work. How many times have I sharpened pencils, called friends, cleaned bookshelves rather than write this column. rather than prepare a lesson plan, rather than grade a paper?Yet, the keyto avoiding fear seems to be the old Boy Scout motto, "Be Prepared." A parent visited me last week, a woman in real estate. Her son is fine, but he practices avoidance techniques to a fine art. Following the discussion ofher son's problems, I asked if she ever became frightened on the job. She told me ofthe moments when her supervisor calls her in to justify a decision "The bottom falls out of my stomach." So her solution to the fear is to prepare by thinking ofthe steps she took in making her decision and slowly reciting them to herselfbefore reciting them to her boss. "Then. it's okay," she says. "But I have to have reasons and those reasons have to make sense." I want that mother to know that I had to do the same thing in preparing to meet her. I had to think about the student and his problems and try to reason outjust what was happening to his grade. When I had prepared for the meeting, the fear went and I could enjoy the parent and the student. A friend down at the Federal Reserve Bank hypothesizes that we should each somehow tape-record a perfect day - a daywhen things move smoothly like silk next to clean skin. Then, when an anxiety attack comes, we could play that tape in our minds and remember the feeling ofdoing something well. I do that. On the morning ofa big presentation. I take that tape out ofits mental drawer and play it back to myselfall the way to school or office, re1Mn.g good points, good experiences, and my own strengths. That way, theoretically, I can recapture that perfect moment. Corrine Hill. administrator with the Salt Lake School District, visited my class recently. Part of herjob is to face hostile teacher groups and convince them ofpolicy changes. I asked her about her professional fears. She says she becomes frightened ofwalking into rooms of strangers and not being able to answer their questions quickly enough. Notice she doesn't just want to "answer" questions; she must answer them quickly enough. She wants to appear professional and strong in front of colleagues. She wants to be confident, but before any appearance there is a moment of stage fright that is as real as that felt by a contralto moving onstage at the Met. Hill advises "canying a folder." It's a small but simple trick. 1hink ofthose moments before a meeting as you stand in the hotel lobby staring at strangers. Your hands grow like Pinocchio's nose - they hang at your sides like hams. That folder, pen or book becomes a stage prop protecting you from the stares ofall the others who also don't know anyone and who are holding on to their own folders, pens, or books. Hill claims the prop buys her time enough to seek out a friendly-looking person in the room. When she finds one, she walks right up, puts out her hand and introduces herself. This is just another act in the control ofanxiety. Ifthe anticipation is worse than the event, then the act oftalking, walking, and shaking hands can relieve some ofthat tension. Finally, tocombatthebigfear -givingthe perfect presentation Hill over-prepares for the meeting in order to be relaxed and flexible. This allows her to relax because she knows she always knows more than she needs to know to succeed. The fear hasn't gone; it's supplanted byaction. • "Will it matter 300 years from now?" I know that platitudes don't solve problems. However, the time-honored advice to take the long view can help subdue fear. Dee Rowland, chair of Women Concerned About Nuclear War, has a newjob as legislative liaison for the Catholic Diocese ofSalt Lake City. Now, think about her worries. She worries about representing her church to the best ofher ability. Rowland says that public humiliation doesn't seem as important to her at age 40 as it did at 20. Perhaps one advantage ofage is that it forces life into perspective. The wonies ofnuclear war, family, famine, and poverty seem to outweigh the personal fear of a presentation in front of a vice-president or even 36 sophomores the day before Christmas.

As Rowland puts it, what I do "will never be seen from a galloping horse." But, what she does may affect that child in the transient shelter. So, fear and anxiety are real. But at age 45, I can prepare, I can control myself, and I can put life into perspective. I want that mental tape of my successful moments,to play when life seems bad, and I want Dee Rowland to remind me that my mistakes will never be seen from a galloping horse. I want to select my fears: not wasting the energy they produce, but instead using it for change. Wendy Poster Leigh is a freelancewriterwith a colomd professional background.

"lfl talk like a man I don't come across as ·assertive' and 'task-oriented' - I'm just a pushy bitch. But ifl talk like a lady I'm not 'supportive' and 'relation-oriented,' l'mjust a displaced housewife and mother." JoAnn's plight is familiar to many women struggling to meet their career goals. Recent organizational communication research confinns the bind in which·upwardlymobile (or would-be upwardly mobile} women find themselves. The bind is all the more restrictive because the tenuous position ofwomen in the workplace requires them to be better communicators than men. Again and again, the sex ofa speaker affects the quality ofthe message. In the 1970s, the call went out for "androgynous communicators," those who would combine the best ofboth worlds. We were exhorted to be both task-oriented like males, and at the same time nurturing, like females. Unfortunately, like many•·definitive" solutions, the androgynous communicative style is easier to describe than imitate. For women, it often doesn't work. Why not? Suppose we're at a sales meeting and the product manager comments, "That sounds like a great idea, doesn't it?" Ifa product manager is a male, that .. doesn't it?" (It's what linguists call a tag question) comes across as politeness. If the manager is female, it is subconsciously heard as a signal ofinsecurity, perhaps incompetence. The fact that we interpret the same phrase differently, depending upon whether it is spoken by a man or by a woman. means that even ifwomen talk like men. they are still perceived differently (and typical1y, more negatively). As communication scientist Mary Ann Fitzpatrick points out, "Communication characteristics that define masculinity are those associated with competence while those which define femininity are those associated with warmth and expressiveness. The characteristics that no one finds desirable are those defined as "feminine characteristics." For this reason she concludes that male communication patterns are better predictors of success than are either the female or the androgynous patterns. But likeJoAnn, most ofus know that it is both socially and professionally suicidal to tty to come across as totally masculine, even it it were possible. The way out ofthis bind is for women to gain skills and sensitivity in understanding both when and how to use effective communication strategies. Since talking like a manjust doesn't cut it, successful women have learned to control their communications with others without dominating them. How can this be done? A good first step is to obseive the specific ways in which men dominate conversations. Generally, women are so used to the conversation patterns ofmen that they hardly notice them. Iaterraptioas: Men typica11yinterrupt women, and women typically let them do it. Women need to be aware ofthis and consciously not allow themselves to be cut off. You can continue speaking through the interruption, ignoring it as something that doesn't exist, or that has no importance. Or if one ofyour collegaues is a continual offender, you can bring the problem out into the open by saying something like, "It would be clearer and faster ifyou let me finish before you make your comments.·· Men are usually unconscious that they interrupt women so often. Calling it to their attention is informative for them. TaDdng Louder: Males can dominate conversations by talking louder. Trying to one-up them in this is a losing game plan, both physiologically (males can yell louder} and sodally (perceived loss offemininity}. Amore effective strategy is for women to control the conversation through conscious use ofdifferent types of questions. Questions can control the topic, can indicate who has the floor next, and how long an appropriate answer should be. For example, an open-ended question ("What's the new buyer like?"} allows the respondent a great deal ofconversational time and latitude. On the other hand, specific questions ("Did the Fenmore payment arrive?") limits the answer, returning the control quickly to you, the asker. The rule is that the person asking the questions is in charge. The more specific the question, the greater the control Another benefit is that the person questioned also feels good about the process because the questions indicate your interest in his opinions and activities. Eye Contact: Looking directly at the person you 're speaking to is another strategy effective in controlling who is "allowed" to talk. Ifyou ask a general question ("What's the status ofthe sales report?"), but you look directly at a speci.ic person, you are empowering that person to speak. This way you can control without the negative effects of attempting to dominate. And. just as questions do, eye contact communicates your trust and interest in the other person Be aware, though, that direct and sustained eye contact is aggressive and will cause discomfort. Girl Talk: Do not use stereotypical1y female language forms. Among the most notorious are the tag question ("That's right, isn't it?"}, qualifiers and cute words ("It's kinda good."}, and disclaimers ("I know this is probably a dumb idea, but.."). These forms, espedal1y when used by women, make the speaker look insecure and unsure. Help: Enlist the support ofother women and men sensitive to the problem. And help other women yourself. When you're in a group and someone attempts to interrupt a woman. maintain eye contact with the woman Looking at the interrupter only legitimizes his bid to take over the conversation. When females make comments, extend them. Don't let them die by being ignored. Even ifyour uptake is negative, a response ofany kind is better than no response atall. Silent Signals: Watch your nonverbal communicative behaviors. Do you smile or nod supportively too often? Do you break eye contact when others look at you. Does your posture project inse~?Videotaping is the most effective way ofidentifying and then changing undesirable non-verbal behaviors. If this isn't feasible, ask a colleague you trust to obseive you and give you feedback. As you can see, none ofthese communication strategies is specifically male or female. They are, instead, effective. As always, self-knowledge is the key to behavior change. These suggestions will work better for you after you develop an accurate self-image ofhowyou communicate now. Once you know that, you can incorporate these strategies into your communication repertoire and capitalize on your femininitywithout diminishing your clout andcontrol.

Wrth these ::::.. .'."...:t hree words she attempts to dispel any fantasy that her life is glamorous. She sees herself as a 29-year-old singer, songwriter, and bandleader in Salt Lake City. Except that anyone who has seen her perform knows that there is something more. She makes it lookveryadting. Omtage duringafour-bandValentine'sDaydance(the audience is teen pcmk/newwavers), she is overwhelmingly cool in herslinkyshin.yblue jumpsuit. with her spiky red hair, and her broad shoulders. As she sings she moves - mostly straight up and down. with great and appanmtlymahaustible energy. Berhuskyvoice is oddly light, barely bouncing above the instrumental background. A smrop.hone .honks soulfully, softening the electric instruments. The audience responds. While the Brst band played, they'd been smoking, numing, basically showing otffor each other. But now, with Connie and the Reillys on stage, they dance. Some of them evmkfss. This newwaw event suddenly looks like a teenage Valentine's Day dance, like a sock hop ofyesteryear. May I, ahem. have this dance? Now, Connie thinks back and agrees that the audience loved the performance. "I was amazed. I've played before young audiences enough to know to be scared to death ofthem," she says. "I looked at the little girls and waited for them to scowl But they didn't. I smiled at them." She demonstrates: a verywide grin. "They looked pleased and surprised." People are sometimes surprised to learn that Connie is kind. "One man who interviewed me made it sound like I get off sucking mufflers. Hard. Tough." Because her music does have a hard edge and her voice is raw and aggressive, she is often compared toJanis Joplin. She hates that, not because she doesn't likeJoplin's work, but becauseJoplin had a sad life. Connie says that she, Connie Brannock, "hasJames Brown's voice trapped in Laura Nyro ·s body." By that she means that her presentation is sweet and pretty though her voice isn't, which is true. Connie Brannock has a sense ofthe absurd. According to rumor, she drives a venerable blue Comet with a dog bone painted on the side. She describes her first performance: "I was she worked with a backup band ca1Ied the in the fourth grade and I played accordion and Rhythm Method. People miss Connie and the dressed up like Uncle Sam and sang Tm a Rhythm Method, miss the put-on, like the time Yankee Doodle Dandy.

Do you Ifl were the Rolling Stones I'd still be doing remember how kids are about nose-blowing? those songs. But those are their songs." They give you so much shit." She laughs. "I had Connie says she's glad she didn't keep milking that act to death. She ·s had four bands to be a loner because I had to blow my nose a lot." since then, none so financially successful as the Connie's sense ofhumorwas more Rhythm Method, which barely covered expenses anyway. evident to her audience two years ago when Now, she's in transition. Connie doesn't have a group. She works part time in the kitchen ofthe Ambassador Oub and the woman she lives with contributes to her support while Connie concentrates on songwriting. "I can be the kind of performer people enjoyed in the Rhythm Method and be a credible songwriter. In a year. It's going to take time. And people don't want to watch that transition on stage. Change is painful to see." Her pretty reggae song "Beauty and the Beast ofTune" may win her a national songwriting contest. She is the only woman finalist and she and the other three Utah finalists will be playing their songs in the state finals on April 8 at 8 p.m. at the Zephyr Oub in Salt Lake. About the future: Connie hopes to produce her first album in 1985. She will keep on writing songs. 'Tmaverypoliticalsongwriter. I feel strongly about respecting the earth.

In an overwhelming response, her readers named tenderness as the element most missing from their relationships. A by Pat Rice Capson nn landers "touched a hot button" and set off an argument that won't die when she took a swvey recently. Her question to readers was simple and basic: "Would you be content to be held close and treated tenderly, and forget about 'the act?" She requested a yes or no and asked women readers to indicate whethertheywereoverorunder40. The response was heavy (more than 90,CXX) initially) and startling: 72 percent said yes. And perhaps even more surprising was the fact that • 40 percent ofthose responding in the affirmative were under 40. To me, the sad thing is that so many women seem to have to make the choice between being held and being had. Isn't the act oflove both? Isn't the aim ofthe most intimate human contact to take the time to hold each other closely, treat each other tenderly, touch, talk and then, in warm concert, "act'? I hear a lot ofpoignancy and anger in those 64,000 "yes" replies. They reflect emotions that must be faced by both men and women ifsex in particular and relationships in general are to be strengthened and improved. Mike Royko 's response dramatized the male view. He countered Landers' poll with one ofhis own. He asked his male readers to comparesextosports. Royko's"Sexor Bowling Swvey ofAmerican Men" asked: "Given a choice, men, would you rather be having sex with your wife or out bowling with your buddies?" Lo and behold, "although they are a minority, a sizeable number ofmen said they prefer recreational sports or pastimes to sex with their wives or sweethearts." Most women wouldn't be shocked at the news. They acknowledge the modem male's obsession with sports, active or passive, which seems to have made his interest in sex more passive than active. Royko had enough responses to his poll that he was able to break the respondents into different categories. Golfers, for example, .. appear the most willing to forego pleasures of the flesh for the joys oftheir favorite sport." I will leave bowling and tennis to other women to think about, but as a Gass A Number One Golf Widow (who plays golf, incidentally), I can only observe with envy that it doesn't take all day to play tennis. Then I remember that it probably takes all night to bowl. And perhaps all week to fish. Maybe we all suffer the same malady in different forms. To quote a male who is a good friend and a good golfer, "It would be hard to find a more selfish sport than golf." Golf takes time, lots of time. And men want to play with men I recognize that there are couples, and parent and kid combinations that enjoy the game, but as a general rule, this is seldom a couple or family sport. Men want to play with men Ifthe golfer is affluent enough to belong to a country club, the ritual becomes even more time-consuming: he meets his group for a stag lunch, loosens up by hitting a bucket ofballs, practice putts, then does what he came up to do. He plays 18 holes of golf, followed by drinks and settling up on the bets. Meanwhile at home, the kids have long since scattered and Mom has spent the evening with Dan Rather. An ebullient spouse arrives late having had, in the words ofone ofRoyko's respondents, "Five (5) hours on 150 acres of perfectly manicured beauty, breathing fresh air, experiencing the excitement of pars and birdies with my best friends, compared to five minutes ofsubpar lovemaking with 150 pounds of not-so-manicured woman who constantly complains about my income and lack of understanding. It is no contest. I will take the birdies over the old bat any day. Sign me, Two just did." The golfer replies, "It's the least I could do. I was married to her for 32 years." Funny, but it hurts a little when you laugh. To hang all the blame on men for the alienation the Landers/Royko polls revealed would be a cop-out. Women certainly play their part in it. Some women develop behavior which matches that ofthe most zealous golfer. You may have read the comment in a local magazine from the skeletal young woman who works out eight hours a day and gets her orgasms by running. "Fortunately," quoth she, "I have an understanding husband." And then there are foursomes ofskilled women golfers whose ranks would be more diffia.tlt to penetrate than the Fortune 500. These women have structured their own game and play it with deadly seriousness. Why do women think that they have to make the choice ~tween being held and being had? Isn't the act oflove both? and Royko polls is that they exposed an issue which has never been so openly discussed before. Ann Landers is delighted that she has "raised the consciousness ofboth men and women on a vital subject." Royko's news wasn't all bad, either. Remember, he said the respondents who preferred sports over sex were "in the minority" and that "most bowlers reject their sport as a substitute for carnal delights." Best ofall, there was the Reverend writing in response to Tnne's article on the Landers swveywho defined sex as it is supposed to be: "the most totally pleasurable, mutual, relationship-binding, expressive action that there can be between two people." And that doesn't happen in a hurry. It's also possible to interpret Landers' statistics in a highly positive way. lf72 percent of the women want to be held close and treated tenderly and 28 percent want to be acted upon, then that makes 100 percent ofthe women who want to bring the playing fields indoors. What it seems to me those tens ofthousands of women are saying to their men is, "We want your time." Men seem to be sending mixed messages but they are most assuredly not all negative. In other words, the patient is ailing but the disease need not be terminal. A good dose offiC, administered by both partners, might work wonders. Perhaps the most valuable words in an ocean ofrhetoric came from the man who wrote to Time and suggested that the 100,CXX) respondents try communicating with their mates instead ofwith Ann Landers. He just may be on to something. Pat Rice Capson is a poet aacf freelancewrtter who regularfycontd&utes to NETWORK handicap in Naperville." (Author's note: you can bet your ball marker that the Naperville Swinger didn't get to be a two handicap by putting in long hours at the office or at home). To further erode the intimacy which is essential to the kind ofrelationships Ann Landers· readers desire, golfers usually travel in herds. The trip you took as a couple when it was enough just to have time alone together, to hold each other closely, treat each other tenderly, now becomes so many foursomes on a golfvacation The men spend their days together, sometimes squeezing in an extra nine, to bring the total to 27 holes ofgolf, and the women play golf, tennis, sight-see and shop. Whatever they do, they don't do it with their mates. There's a tired oldjoke about a man all set to tee offwhen a cortege goes by on a nearby road. He stops mid-swing, removes his hat, places it over his heart and stands motionless until the procession passes. His partner remarks, "That was a very touching thing you Come To Our Folk Show Down-home In our new home. Laura's Interiors & J.

A lot ofwhat has been written makes good copy but not good sense. What is needed is balance, an ordering of priorities, a return to togetherness, that saccharin word that now seems an anachronism. In a good marriage, there are spaces in that togetherness, a respect for the independence ofeach partner, and there is also a genuine effort to enhance those qualities that brought a couple together in the first place.

But there are risks. T byAnnVoda he answer to the question, "Should I take estrogens?" can only be answered by you. What is important is that you have as much information as possible about the risks and benefits and that you make an informed decision Estrogen has been used as a medical treatment for many years. The current controversy began in the 1960s when estrogen replacement for menopausal women was popularized by Dr. Robert Wdson Wdson called menopause an ''estrogen deficiency disease" and advocated the use ofestrogens to relieve menopausal ''symptoms'' and to maintain a youthful, feminine appearance. Wilson's philosophy was "estrogen forever, feminine forever." Many women believed him, dreading the onset ofmenopause as ifthis natural stage of a women's life were a disease. Many physicians, to this day, continue to refer to menopause as a disease. Enlightened persons - both men and women - finaDy accept menopause as a nonnal stage of maturation Accepting that diminishes the urgency commonly associated with the issue of estrogen replacement therapy. The risks associated with estrogen replacement were reported in the early 1970s when evidence began to accumulate that estrogens were not youth pills and that they might even be dangerous. Oral contraceptives, which contained estrogens in higher doses than are nonnallypresaibed for postmenopausal women, were found to increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. Meanwhile, animal studies suggested that added estrogens cause breast cancer, and some human studies are now confinning this. Beginning in late 1975, several studies appeared in the New England Journal ofMedicine supporting the previously-suspected link between post menopausal estrogen use and endometrial cancer. Therefore, since late 1977, the Food and Drug Administration has required that presaiptions for drugs containing estrogens be accompanied by a warning ofthe risks associated with their use. What are estrogens? Estrogen and progesterone are sex hormones manufactured in women's bodies bythe ovaries and released into the circulation During menstrual life, the female body is used to the periodic rising and falling ofestrogen levels. As the estrogen level diminishes with the perimenopausal transition, women begin to experience hot flashes and a change in the quantity and quality ofmenstrual bleeding. To offset these changes (or what some doctors and some women see as symptoms ofa disease), some medical practitioners presaibe the use ofestrogens or a combination ofestrogen and progesterone-like drugs. Are there different types ofestrogens? In the U.S., Premarin is most commonly used by postmenopausal women. Other estrogen-like drugs are Ogen, Estrace, Evex, Menriwn, Estinyf and Estrovis. They all have side effects, and one, Meruium, is combined with a tranquilizer. There is too little research available for us to know whether one is more effective than another. Estradiol the main estrogen produced by the ovaries ofpremenopausal women, is not stable when taken orally. Estriol the predominant estrogen present in the bodies ofpregnant women, was once considered the safest, but current evidence shows no difference in the safety ofone natural estrogen over another. The amount ofdosage and length ofuse now appear to be factors affecting the risks involved. Researchers now know that estrogens applied to the skin are absorbed ifthey are dissolved in appropriate solvents. Both percutaneous application (applying estrogen on the skin) and transdennal systems (use of an adhesive membrane which allows estrogen to pass through) seem to be promising new methods ofestrogen administration Neff JJrlnral Qto. 495 East 400 South Telephone [phone] South 900 West Telephone [phone] St. Marks Hospital 1220 East 3900 South Telephone [phone] method ofmaintaining an even amount of estrogen in the blood. The advantage oftaking estrogen this way is that the liver is spared the ~pact ofsudden absorption ofestrogens from the intestines. Gradual absorption minimizes the risks ofheart disease, blood dotting and high blood pressure. How does past or current estrogen use affect menopause? This is a difficult question to answer since little or no controlled research has been done on a large sample. It appears that long-time past users ofestrogen, either oral contraceptive use or estrogen replacement to treat premenopausal hot flash, delays the menopause. The average age ofnatural menopause is 50. Estrogen use may delay menopause by one or two years. A risk then for women who have taken estrogen replacement prior to experiencing their last menstrual period is that they prolong the time it takes to pass through the transition of menopause. Long-time users, no matterwhat age, will have hot flashes upon discontinuing estrogen and it is posSible to experience a monthly period as long as estrogen is used. Researchers do not know ifthere is a long-tenn risk associated with continual stimulation of certain target cells, breast and uterus, cells that have been genetically preprogrammed for closure at menopause. Some women choose to have menopause surgically induced by having a complete hysterectomy. This is not wise because there are no carefully controlled studies ofthe risks or the benefits ofestrogen replacement therapy for women who have had their ovaries removed 10 or more years prior to natural menopause. Nevertheless, many physicians consider hormone replacement therapy advisable under such circumstances. For this and for other reasons as well, the ovaries of premenstrual women should not be removed as a matter ofroutine when a hysterectomy is performed. There are dear risks, however, that researchers know about. Endometrlal cancer: The primary risk of using postmenopausal estrogen is cancer ofthe lining ofthe uterus. Each year this condition occurs in about one in 1,0CX) postmenopausal women who have intact uteruses and are not taking estrogens. Among estrogen users, however, the rate is several times as high. The risk rises noticeably about two years after therapy begins and increases the longer estrogens are used, declining after the treatment ends. Physicians who presaibe estrogen ciaim that endometriaI cancer is curable in most cases and that death rates from this disease are relatively low. They argue that it can't develop in women who have undergone hysterectomy, and that as many as halfofAmerican women receive a hysterectomy by age 60. The question women need to ask themselves is whether they want to risk getting cancer by taking estrogen It is easy for a care provider to state that uterine cancer can be cured or prevented by hysterectomy. The costs ofboth are high. In addition, though having a hysterectomy does prevent the development ofcancer ofthe uterus, it does not prevent other complications related to estrogen use. Some studies suggest that the use of progesterones (the other female hormone-like drug that is included in birth control pills) during several days ofeach estrogen treatment cycle might reduce the risk ofendometrial cancer. However, little is known about the posSible short or long-tenn risks ofprogesterone in postmenopausal women, and much more research is needed before recommendations regarding their use are made. The medical community is split on this apparent return to an estrogen (plus progesterone) forever philosophy. THE LAST TIME YOU TRAVELED, DID YOU HAVE?

REDWOOD ROAD SALT LAKE CllY, UTAH 84104 [phone] Edith Bennett/Co-Owner APRIL 1985/NETWOU 17 ILLUSTRATION: DENI CHRISTIAN monthly menstrual bleed are a small price to pay to maintain a symptom-free menopause. Just as there are risks associated with estrogen replacement therapies, there are benefits, as well. Bot lashes: For most women who want to completely eliminate hot flashes, estrogen is the only agent that can do it. Vaginal and urinary problems: In most cases estrogen helps relieve vaginal dryness, burning, itching and painful intercourse. Postrnenopausal women sometimes experience painful, frequenturination, not caused by infections but by changes in the urinary system. It isn't known ifthese changes are caused by decreased estrogen levels. Estrogens are not routinely recommended for treating p ~ urination Bone loss: Estrogens, ifgiven near the time ofmenopause for women at high risk for osteoporosis, can prevent or arrest bone loss. There is little information on whether estrogens directly help prevent fractures themselves. For young women who have had menopause surgically induced, estrogen is the only way to obtain relieffrom debilitating hot flash and vaginitis, and to protect bones from being demineralized. Mood: Research indicates that no specific mental disorder occurs during menopause, nor is there any evidence that estrogens help in treating mental disorders. In some women, however, the relief ofa physical change of menopause, such as hot flash, mayimprove mood. Youthfulness: Sony. Ifyou want to maintain a youthful appearance, estrogen can't help. Contrary to popular beliefcreated by Wilson's Feminine Forever, estrogens do not appear to prevent age-related changes in skin, hair and breasts. The decision whether to be an estrogen user is complex and personal. I have said that in making the decision it is most important to be informed, to learn the pros and cons of hormone use. It is shocking to realize that much research is only now being done; new findings are being published constantly. My advice is to trust yourself. Keep a record ofyour own menopausal experience. Do not rely on others to tell you what is happening to your body. Consider the record you keep and the information you collect about yourselfas valid and important data. Talk to your physician or nurse practitioner about estrogen use in terms ofyourindMdual case. You will be discouraged from taking estrogens for menopausal concerns ifyou or your family has a history of previous cancer of the breast or endometrium (except for women 1 The application ofestrogen as a vaginal cream does not reduce the risk of cancer because these creams appear to be absorbed very quickly into the bloodstream. Daily use of vaginal estrogen is difficult to measure. When presaibed dosage is exceeded. the concentration ofestrogens circulating in the body increases substantially. Women at risk for high blood pressure, gall bladder disease, frequent blood dots or cancer are then in danger of aggravating or worsening their pre-existing condition or conditions. Another theory as yet unresolved is that when progesterone is added to estrogen, the risks above are decreased. Progesterone is said to decrease the stimulating effect ofestrogen. Advocates ofestrogen/progesterone replacement presaibe estrogen for 25 days a month and combine it with progesterone for 10 ofthose days (days 16 through 25). Then both hormones are discontinued for the remainder ofthe month. Women using this therapy who still have their uteruses will have a return ofthe menstural flow. Breast cancer: Animal studies have long suggested that estrogens may cause breast cancer, but no convincing evidence ofthat yet exists, though the latest findings indicate that even estrogens used in contraceptives increase the chance ofdeveloping both breast and cervical cancer. Breast cancer is very common. very serious and takes many years to develop, so its possible association with estrogen use requires further research. Other cancers, heart disease and gaDbladderdlsease: Estrogen use may more than double the risk ofdeveloping gallbladder disease. No convincing evidence exists that low doses ofestrogens alone influence the risk of cardiovascular disease in postrnenopausal women, though research shows that certain progesterones can cause changes that increase the possibility ofheart attack and stroke. There is no indication that customary doses of estrogens lead to ovarian cancer. However, all these issues have been insufficiently studied; any answer, right now, is a guess. Other side effects: There is a variety of other so-called "minor" side effects associated with estrogen or estrogen-progesterone use. Proponents ofhormone replacement claim that headaches, weight gain, acne, facial hair, and a who are taking estrogens as a treatment for existing breast cancer). You will be discouraged from estrogen use ifyou have had a stroke, heart attack, blood dots or related problems, or ifyou are a "DFS mother" or "DF.S baby" (a women who was administered diethylstilbestrol (DF.5) therapy while pregnant or a women whose mother was administered DF.S while she was in utero ). Ask your care provider about alternatives to estrogen use. There are other ways to help relieve hot flashes, vaginal dryness, the effects ofosteoporosis and otherperimenopausal changes. Take estrogens only ifyou have a presaiption. Follow instructions. Don't take more than presaibed. Any woman taking estrogens should remain under the care ofa doctor or nurse who is familiar with her medical condition, who understands her general situation and who discusses matters openly with her. This kind ofcare will help the health-care provider maximize the benefits and minimize the risks ofestrogen use, detecting unfavorable side-effects early and discontinuing use as soon as possible. Be alert for possible side effects. In particular, anyone who has vaginal bleeding after menopause should see a care provider promptly. Although the cause often is not serious, bleeding can be a sign ofcancer, which can be successfully treated ifdiscovered early. Have the courage ofyour convictions. To be or not to be an estrogen user is a difficult decision Having weighed the risks against the benefits, make your decision and then monitor your body's response. Whateveryou do, don't feel guilty or ashamed. Above all, do not think ofmenopause as a disease. It isn't. Do not allow yourselfto believe that your value as a person has diminished because you are passing into a new stage ofyour life. Yourvalue is unchanged; trust yourse1£ Don't let anyone invalidate your concerns and questions, and don't leave the decision up to your spouse or your health-care or sick-care provider. Your body is yours alone. You alone will live with your decision. You makeit. AIUl Voda is a professor and director of physiological nursing at the University oflJtah College ofNursing.

PHOTOS: JOHN SCHAEFER here are enough intriguing angles in the story ofPioneer Memorial Theatre's production ofARaisin in the Sun to keep a dozen feature writers busy for a month. Consider the effect the selection ofthis play could have on theater in Utah. Under the innovative artistic supervision ofthe new director Charles Morley, PMT is taking a chance this season by offering a black play to a largely white audience - a radical departure from the predictable musicals of past years. His gamble is that the theater-going community will approve, is ready for serious theater. Consider, too, theplayitself: aworkthat changed the course ofhistoryinAmerican theater. Afterits first production in 1959, black actors - previously confined to roles as domestics and aboriginals - had hope for complex roles. For the first time, a white hierarchywas challenged to integrate blacks into all levels oftheater. Raisin in the Sun comes to Utah during its 25th anniversary season, an ironic replay ofits first opening in New York which provoked black authorjames Baldwin to write, " ... never before... had so much ofthe truth ofblack people's lives been seen on the stage. Black people ignored the theater because the theater had always ignored them." Or consider the life ofthe playwright hersel[ Lorraine Hansberry became, at 29, the youngest American, the fifth woman, and the only black ever to win the Best Play ofthe Year Award ofthe New York Drama Critics. Her work was prophetic. In the decade following, much ofwhat she addressed in her play - feminism and civil rights, for example - became movements that rocked a nation Though she died at 34 ofcancer, her impact has been lasting. But, finally, consider the actors. They are the ones who give~ in the Sun life. Ofthe four professionals hired for the play by PMT, three are women: Rosanna Carter, Brenda Thomas and Charlotte Graham. They play, respectively, Lena Younger, the recently-widowed matriarch, Ruth Younger, Lena's taciturn daughter-in-law, and Beneatha Younger, Lena's liberated daughter. Hansberry intended Walter, Lena's son (played by Robert Gossett) to be the pivotal character in the play - he being the one who squanders a $10,000 life insurance payment, creating the crisis on which the play hinges. But the female leads in Raisin in the Sun are commanding forces and cannot be overshadowed Carter feels a deep kinship with her character. "Lena is a typical mother and I know all about that··The actress ·s speech is measured. She is maybe a bit self-conscious about expressing thoughts and emotions, but warms to it She explains herselfwith little embellishment "Lena's strong; necessarily so, because she's head ofa family.

Thomas, who has played Ruth before, has a symbiotic relationship with the character. "The first time I did the play was very painful One ofRuth's surprising qualities is her shyness. I discovered how really shy I am about my deepest feelings." This is diffirult to believe watching the open. honest expressions which cross Thomas' face. "Ruth also has this incredible sense offairness, but it's almost a problem for her. She's always caught But I • pursue this fairness in my personal life. Understanding her has helped me a lot." "Ever since I was a teenager," Graham confesses, "and first read the play, there was no doubt in my mind that I was Beneatha" Graham's voice is a wonderful extension of herself, resonant and precise. She is intense, but infectiously exuberant. "In the play Beneatha explains why she wants to be a doctor: 'to cure.· I want to do that with my work as an actress, cure what ails the world. That sounds ambitious. Everyone I know says to me, 'Oiarlotta, youcan'tcureeverybody."' Their talk makes it clear that Carter, Thomas and Graham weren't merely cast in their Graham: "Hansbeny's play should be done in Utah and in the South, and in South Africa and England.

I sat in the back ofthe bus, but I wasn't bitter. I was aggressive enough not to feel trodden upon. Ijust knew I would have what I needed.

"Companies such as the Negro Ensemble Company .in New York sprang up in the 60s to ensure work for ourselves. There wasn't enough then, and still isn't. The need and validity ofblack theater, such as the Negro Ensemble Company offers, is that we can present the story as it is, notjust one side ofit. We do it so others can say, 'Well, gee, these people do everything we do; people are people.'" Thomas, who has worked with Crossroads, another black theater, has noticed a shift to a less militant stance over the years. "When you 're starting off," she explains, "you have to be heard. You have to make a lot ofnoise. Now black theater is less reactionary and very positive. It exists to affirm and show a variety in black experience. 111ere is so much material the public doesn't know about." Though Graham began working in the post-civil rights years, she reports there are still places progress hasn't touched, even on the East coast. "Brenda and I were the first black actresses to integrate the prestigious Orcle RepertoryCompany inNewYork Thiswasin 1983... that was a shocker." But Graham was most stunned and wounded by the reaction ofherwhite male opposite in Shakespeare's.Love's Labors Lost "In the play," she explains, "Biron and Rosaline are lovers. But my Biron could not 'love' me. He wouldn't even talkto me. I kept thinking·something's wrong here.' I thought it was me. But the problem was his." Hansberrywrote that black women were "twice oppressed," first as women and again as members ofa racial minority. Though not inclined to discredit this obsetVation, Carter, Thomas and Graham report that they have never felt subordinate or a victim ofsexual discrimination Graham attributes this to her mother, a memorable role model. "My mother was an incredibly strong, independent woman," Graham elaborates. "There was never any doubt in my mind that men and women were supposed to work together - as equals. I've never felt inferior." She pauses, and a mischievous grin appears. "Superior, maybe." She continues more soberly.

Graham's desire is to improve the perception ofblackwomanhood. Thomas wishes to illuminate humanity. Carter has hopes for her family's future. These are dreams, the stuffofwhich Raisin in the Sun is made. Look at the speech from Act Three. Beneatha's friend Asagai is speaking: "(The future) isn't a circle - it is simply a long line... that reaches into infinity. And because we cannot see the end - we also cannot see how it changes. And it is very odd but those who see the changes are called 'idealists' - and those who cannot, or refuse to think, they are the 'realists."' Carter, Graham and Thomas: women with vision, women filled with possibility. Hansberry would be proud ofthem. Their gaze is unwavering, fixed on an unforeseeable future and, perhaps, a magical infinity.

"The average American diet is 40 percent fat, and it should be around 25-30 percent. Ofall the popular fad diets, a low-fat plan is almost never promoted." Carbohydrates are also necessary to burn fats, adds Ball, a fact few dieters consider in their weight loss attempts. illions ofwomen attempt to shed unwanted pounds everyyear. Magazines at grocery store checkouts promise "a new, foolproof diet for the working woman," "the total family diet," "new fat-burning pill," and the ever-popular promise: "F.at the foods you love and still lose weight!" These claims are almost exclusively limited to publications aimed at women The same publications are usually packed with ads for diet aids, diet frozen foods and diet plans promoted by obviously diet-conscious models. Our society is obsessed with thinness. Nothing new. Now, however, researchers know that continual dieting doesn't work. In fact, repeated dieting actually perpetuates weight problems, rather than solving them. The joke can be OD you Wlshmyth Although most women diet and some diet almost continuously, few are aware ofhow their body chemistry responds to their attempts to lose weight. More often than not, diet books which boast "scientific support" are based on misinterpretation ofmetabolic facts or on sheer fantasy. According to registered dietitian Michele Ball, few books discuss such critical issues as the difference between muscle weight and fat weight, metabolic reactions to meal frequency, the body's ability to adapt to lowered caloric intakes, and the effectiveness of intense vs. moderate exercise in weight control Just the facts, Ma'am F.ach individual's weight is made up offat, muscle, bone, and trace minerals. The weight ofthe bone and mineral content is fairly constant, but fat and muscle weight may change dramatically. The average pound of human fat occupies a volume of31 cubic inches. One pound ofmuscle takes up only about 25 cubic inches. Therefore, losing five pounds offat reduces body volume more - by 30 cubic inches or so - than losing five pounds ofmuscle. Furthermore, replacing fat with muscle can reduce body size without changing overall bodyweight. This difference in density ofmuscle and fat explains why two individuals ofthe same height can weigh the same but look proportionately different. So does dieting get rid offat? Not necessarily. Staivation diets (anything below 600-700 calories a day for the average person) or diets that contain less than 50 grams of carbohydrate a day result in substantial losses ofmuscle tissue - not fat- espedally during the first week. This happens because the body needs to maintain certain levels ofglucose in the blood for brain and red blood cell function. Fat can't be converted to glucose, while muscle • The body's !turvival mechanisms decree that starvation diets won't work. Ifyou are one ofthose who goes on a strict diet once a year, and then gains weight,join the crowd. Gaining weight is the ultimate result orcrash dieting. tissue can So during the first four to seven days of a staivation diet, the body converts muscle tissue into the needed glucose. For all practical purposes, the body responds to a lack of carbohydrates in the same way. Muscles are mostly water, and the initial weight loss observed in staivation and low-carbohydrate diets reflects a loss ofwater. Dehydration is a serious side effect ofthese diet schemes. No magic foods Ball, who holds a master's in nutrition and teaches nutrition and weight modification courses at the University ofUtah, comments that many people have the mistaken idea that they can eat all the protein they want and not gain weight. These people generally shun carbohydrates. "People tend to think protein is a "magic" food that can't be stored as fat when in actuality a great deal ofthe protein we consume is quite quickly converted to fat," says OBSTETRICS AND GYNECOLOGY Wednesday Evening Clinic AT UNIVERSITY OF UTAH HEALTH SCIENCES CENTER • OBSTETRICAL CARE NORMAL & HIGH RISK • ROUTINE GYNECOLOGIC CARE • FAMILY PLANNING • • • • PRE- CONCEPTUAL COUNSELING GYNECOLOGIC PROBLEMS INFERTILITY EVALUATIONS PRE- MARITAL EXAMS Ball Fruit seems to also be popular among the "magic, no-fat" foods. Although it too is an essential part ofa good diet, it adds up to stored fat if eaten in excess, just like anything else. Ball stresses that "Carbohydrates should make up 50 to 60 pei;cent ofthe total diet for good nutrition and effective weight loss." She adds that "the emphasis should be on complex carbohydrates" such as pasta, potatoes and vegetables - carbohydrates with a molecular structure that is more complex and difficult to break down than that ofthe simple carbohydrates found in table sugar, fructose (the sugar in fruits), and sweeteners used in processed foods. Complex starches also contain the fiber, vitamins, and minerals which can actually help promote weight loss by increasing the feeling offullness and supporting an increased energy output. "People fail to realize that a high intake offat Another unfortunate side effect of high-protein, low-carbohydrate or staivation dieting is that you won't keep the weight off. Indeed, you will usually gain it all back, plus some extra Why? A week or so ofwatercress and steak causes the body to slow its entire metabolic rate in order to conserve the glucose that is available. When you return to a sensible caloric intake, your body is now more efficient at storing calories than expending them. Thus, a greater proportion ofthe food you eat will be immediately converted to fat. In a world that prizes thin, it is an odd irony that the body adapts more effectively to decreased caloric intake than to increased caloric intake. It may be that our evolution has programmed us to swvive the hazards of famine but has left us comparatively undefended from the dangers ofabundance. Whatever the reason, the body aims to survive. The brain and an array ofother physiological mechanisms leap into service when food availability is low. After a few weeks, your body has adapted to the low intake that you hoped would cause weight loss. It's now doing the work of2,000 calories a day on a mere 1,000 or 1,500 calories. Ofcourse, the body cannot totally adapt. This means you can still eventually starve yourselfto thinness, providing that you remain constantly on a diet. However, studies show that even on carefully monitored diets where cheating is virtually impossible, overweight people never lose as much weight as they theoretically should according to the decreased caloric intake. It can be done In order to decrease your percentage of body fat, you must maintain a normal caloric intake. However, at the same time you must be faithful to a well-designed aerobic exercise program. An overall increase in activity is one of the single biggest factors in weight control The formula is not magic: modify caloric intake, eat smaller meals more often, reduce fat consumption, increase the consumption of complex carbohydrates, engage in a moderate exercise program.

In a world that prizes thin, it is an irony that the body adapts more effectively to qeaeased caloric intake than to increased caloric intake. Studies have shown that when individuals do nothing more than change their eating frequencies from three regular meals to five smaller meals a day (still consuming the same total number ofcalories), they lose weight Watch when you eat How much you eat is frequently the fOOJS ofa diet plan. Too often, when gets ignored. Many people attempt to lose weight by completely abstaining from food until presaibed times for meals, and skipping breakfast or lunch in order to" eat normally" at dinner. This type ofeating schedule actually promotes weight gain and increased appetite, rather than weight loss. "We know that eating only one large meal a day promotes fat synthesis," says Ball. "We think it's because the calories consumed are in excess ofenergy needs at the time so those extra calories are immediately stored as fat." It's easy for the body to convert food into energy before it is converted to fat, but it is much more difficult to mobilize energy from fat stores. Therefore, more frequent smaller meals promote a more continuous energy input, energy output ratio.

Put on your walking shoes Finally, it's "in" to exercise. "People used to just want to be skinny. Now the look promoted by the media is more ofa lean look with good muscle definition," observes Ball. Actually, regular, moderate exercise causes the appetite to more accurately demand the amount offood the body needs to function well. Unfortunately, the popularity of''no gain without pain'' ideas . spurs many dieters to excessively intense exercise which actually does little to promote weight loss compared to a brisk 30-minute walk. Moderate, continuous exercise - ifdone for at least 30 minutes - is more conducive to burning fat as fuel than intense exercise ofshort duration. Although the popularity ofaerooic dance has made an increase in activity more enjoyable and accessible to many people, beware. Many aerobic classes provide only 15 to 20 minutes of sustained exercise. They are also often paced for the most active person and require an energy level far higher than that most conducive to weight loss. Ifyour heart rate shoots up to 170 or 180 beats per minute, you may be conditioning your heart but you won't necessarily be calling on fat stores to provide energy. The optimum heart rate for purposes of weight loss varies according to age and fitness level, but an exercising heart rate of 130 to 160 beats per minute is appropriate for the average 20 to 40-year-old person aiming to lose weight. Stick to it Ifall ofthe above seems too simple, don't be misled. What is being described is a long-term commitment to a lifestyle change involving regular exercise and a diet which excludes most fats and simple carbohydrates - specifically, sugar. Dietitian Michele Ball is all too familiar with the reasons most people fail to lose weight. ''Our whole society is oriented to the quick, easy WIDf out and people think diets should be the same. Weight loss takes a lot ofwork - and work for a good deal oftime - to be successful. Most people are unwilling to make that commitment." On the positive side, however, she also comments that people do seem to be realizing they can't diet for a few weeks and expect to lose weight. "Thin has been in for about 20 yeai-s now and so many people have failed at fad dieting so often that perhaps the idea ofa quick solution to weight problems is finally being discarded," Ball says hopefully. Unproved theories ofweight control still bombard the unwitting consumer, when in fact nutrition scientists still have much to investigate before definitive conclusions can be made. However, the trend toward sustained modifications in food consumption rather than unbalanced, "quick-fix" dieting is unarguably a step forward.

What's that? You say you're still struggling with your return and haven't quite decided yet where to invest even last year's money? Well, you'd better get a move on - atleast with the 1984 deposit, because this year the rules for funding IRAs have changed. While the only thing you've lost to date is tax-free interest on a potential $2,000 investment, beginning this year IRA deposits must be made by April 15 - even ifan extension is granted on the filing oftax returns. Since the inception ofthe IRA, some 37 million taxpayers have taken advantage ofit, but that accounts for only three ofevery ten eligible workers. A recent government sutVey asked participants why they invested in an IRA, and the majority indicated that they wanted the tax deduction Fewer than halfviewed their investment as a major source of retirement income, and only 25 percent actively managed their money. Most were content to stash it in a bank at whatever rate ofinterest was being offered Let me hasten to say there is nothing wrong with simply drawing interest on an IRA. However, there are many other options available to make your investment grow. In the early stages when the total is small, a more passive attitude might be understandable - the stakes are simply not high enough to create excitement. But once the money starts to grow, the payofffor actively tending it takes a dramatic leap. Consider timing alone.

It inspired her to return home, design her own closet space, and contract to have it built and installed. Says Simmonds: "I liked it so much Ijust sat and looked at it. The organization was beautiful. .. As she used her own system, she discovered she could readilytlnd that particular blue blouse she'd forgotten she had because all her blouses were not together. At. a glance she could tell what her choices were and could coordinate her clothes very quickly. There was a "place for everything and everything was in its place." She was saving herself time and frustration in getting dressed and her clothes were in better shape. Simmonds points out, "If clothes aren't all 'scrunched' together, they don't need ironing. That saves me a lot oftime.·· And just as quickly as she put her own closets in shape, she and her contractor, Rick Smith, formed a partnership, The Ooset Connection, to create organized storage space for Salt Lake consumers. She takes a portfolio to clients·homes at their convenience, consults with them to determine needs, examines and measures the space, and creates a design incorporating all the information. The Oosel Connection offers prices that are very affordable and a wide range of finishes: everything from oak to laminates to wire racks. A current trend is to install drawers in closets, eliminating dressers in bedroom space. Once a client has approved a design, it's sent to the shop here in Salt Lake, cut and prepared ready for installation in the home. Then comes the best part, claims Simmonds.-"You can take out your clothes in the morning and put them back in that night. It's all done in oneday."

Here, asintherestofthenation , 96percentof those living in poverty are women who are the heads oftheir households and . theirchildren. That'snothingnewtoaNe tworkreader, butitis a fact only now being heard by much ofthe rest ofthe world. This year, the Utah legislature heard it. Poor women come in two varieties. The first and largest group is made up of those who are young, unskilled, divorced, and raising young children alone. The legislature helped them (see box). The second group is almost invisible. They are the displaced homemakers: the women who fulfilled their wifely and motherly responsibilities, who never worked, and who now are alone at age 45 or older without the job skills to support themselves. These women are lost, betrayed, and ignored. Only one small program within the social services system addresses their needs. The legislature did not help them. The theme ofthe social service programs now being offered is self-sufficiency. The legislature, recognizing the problems ofpoor women, has responded favorably to this theme. They have been willing to spend the money necessary to provide child care andjob training to young women in need. by Frances Fadey O The legislature responds to the needs ofwomen Gov. legislative Bangerter's Committee Position Action Legislative Job training funds for displaced homemakers (H.B. 183, Rep.

Cooper and Secrest elaborated. "When respondents volunteered their feelings, some of the sterotypes that appear in the structured questions do not seem to appear." For example, it has been assumed that there is a stereotype with regard to competence and experience working against women Howeyer, on the open-ended responses about competence and experience there were no differences between the comments offered about men and women In my campaign, we assumed a stereotype favoring men with regard to issues and the ability to articulate positions. Yet in the poll, there was very little difference indicated. The one place where the poll revealed a significant difference was on the personal measures given the candidate. The men were shown to have a much grayer profile: those polled had little to say about men other than they seem to be nice, or good people. Women, on the other hand, were described in colorful terms, gaining high ratings for honesty, intelligence, being caring, being hard-working, and being straightforward or outspoken. They generally received more favorable comments in the area of personal characteristics by a ratio ofthree to one. The poll was commissioned by the National Women's Political Caucus in order to dispel or verify myths and conventional wisdom concerning women running for high office. The five states in which the polls were taken were Kansas, Missouri, New Hampshire, Florida, and Utah. Two ofthe women are Democrats, three Republicans. Only one ofthe women - Jan Meyers, Republican from Kansas - was elected. Among the questions posed and answered were: Does a woman candidate for high political office have two strikes against her, just because she's a woman? The answer was No. "A woman as a candidate begins with a three to four percent advantage over a man starting from the same position." Does a woman candidate canythe weight ofmany negative stereotypes? No. "On ten measures ofstereotype, women rated more positively on seven characteristics, equal on two, and lower than men on only one." Do women candidates appeal to only a small segment ofthe electorate? No. "Democratic women have the same coalition of voting support as Democratic men and Republican women the same coalition as Republican men In addition, all women candidates, Democratic and Republican, add the following key voting groups to the basic party coalition: working women, professionals, young voters, and unmarried voters." The fact that professionals and working women are two ofthe fastest-growing groups in the U.S. today bodes well for future women candidates. Other myths were investigated by the poll: Myth: Men tend to rate higher on such personal characteristics as hard-working and competent while women rate higher on "compassion and caring." Fact: Women do rate higher on compassion and caring but they also rate higher on hard-working, honesty, intelligence, and being straightforward. Myth: Voters are seeking new faces and non-political people to represent them. Fact: Experience was one ofthe highest priorities in selecting candidates on the congressional level in 1984. Myth: Voters do not regard the political parties very highly and believe there is little difference between the parties. Fact: The party affiliation ofa candidate remains one ofthe most signiticant~ in the decision-making process. On all personal characteristics but one, the women running were rated higher than the men. The one characteristic where women ranked significantly lower than the men was on ability to handle the emotional demands of public life. The aggregate rating on the five races gave the male candidates 42 percent and the women candidates 32 percent on this perception. I am happy to report that the race in Utah, in which I ran, provided an exception to the aggregate ratings on this subject. On the subject ofemotional fitness, I rated 45 percent to David Monson's 40 percent. The women in the five congressional races polled were viewed as strong, willing to fight for their beliefs, as speaking directly to the point. So why did only one ofthe women win?

RepublicanJan Meyers ofKansas fell short on some ofthe characteristics ratings, yet won the election" The Cooper-Secrest conclusion is, "What we must recognize from these findings is that the stereotypes on personal characteristics is only one aspect ofa winning campaign and not necessarily the major aspect." When respondents were asked to rate factors ofimportance to them in the five races, results were as follows, listed in order of importance: 1. Position on national defense/foreign policy ................................................... 53% 2. Position on Reagan economic program ............................................... 50% 3. Experience in public office ................... 47% 4. Position on abortion ........................... 36% 5. Party affiliation ................................... 32% 6.ERAandwomen'srights ..................... 31% 7. Personality ofthe candidate ................. 26% Way down on the list were "Fact candidate was a women, 7 percent" and "Fact candidate has young children, 5 percent." Utahns rated "Position on abortion" eleven points higher than the aggregate ofthose polled in other We can, I believe, find encouragement and hope for the future ofwomen candidates in these poll results. Women must emphasize the advantages that they have in the public perception They must take advantage ofthe support they have in the two fast-growing groups, workingwomen and professionals. They must face squarely the fact ofwhere public concern lies. Political party leaders must acknowledge that women are good candidates and that they are candidates who can win. As for my experience in the 1984 congressional race, I hope that some ofthe encouraging facts from that election will be remembered. For example: • I lost by only two-tenths ofone percent. It was possible. • Among those in Utah on election day I won Michigan senate race Vermont gubernatorial race the election by 700 votes.

I am occasionally accused ofhaving an elitist attitude toward reading. I deny it. I say that I simply want people to read, no matter what they~d. and in fact I truly believe that. But part ofme shudders as I watch women ofa1I ages, a1I classes, and a1I occupations pick scores of romance novels from the shelves. My solution to the conflict between my distaste for the world ofromances and my responsibility to give readers what they want has been to shudder only privately, to make suggestions when asked what I consider good, and to pray that a1I the romances will simply fall apart (from overuse, no doubt) and disappear from the shelves. It never occurred to me to read one. But read one I did. In fact, I almost read two. The first was a paperback by Danielle Steel (a romance writer much in demand) entitled A Certain Stranger. It was (as far as I read) the story ofa man whose wife had left him. Bereft and lonely, he sees a beautiful, mysterious woman sitting alone on a sea wall; he is immediately taken with her and cannot get her out ofhis mind. Lo and behold, when he takes a plane to New York, there she is, sitting next to him in the tourist section (where she travels in order to maintain her anonymity). The author lost me a few pages later, and I thought, "This is some woman's fantasyofhow she wants men to be - absolutely 'taken' with her on sight." (It may in fact be how some men are, sometimes, but we women only rarely see it.) It was the second romance I read that set .,.... ........ •-- , __ 11. __ t .,,..,.,-4,,...,... • q;::,ncession to error - ten lashes with a wet noocile. This was a true Harlequin, set in England, entitled A Rose from Lucifer, and about 3/8 ofan inch thick. I will bore you with the story. A young woman with a disfiguring birthmark on her face Jives with her widowed mother. A rich man with a daughter the same age marries the mother and immediately turns her into an unpaid housekeeper. The man's daughter taunts the woman's daughter: "No man will ever want YOU!" The mean step-sister is having an affair with a rich Greek man; he is also cold to the disfigured daughter, but she adores him, even knowing her dreams oflove with him are hopeless. In order to save her mother from this situation, she marries a poor young man who will care for them both; being a "good" person, she never lets her husband know that she doesn't love him. Then a long-lost uncle ofthe young man dies, leaving them a mansion, money and servants. One day they are a1I in a car accident; the young husband and mother die, but the heroine is only injured. She wakes up to find that the doctors, while repairing her injuries, have also removed the hated birthmark. She is now not only rich, but beautiful and single as well. (At this point, a friend to whom I was telling the story said, "Is this almost over?") When the heroine leaves the hospital, the servants suggest she take a cruise to the Greek Islands; on the cruise, the ship catches fire, and who should swim out ofthe darkness to save her? Luke the Greek, of course, but he doesn't recognize her now that she is rich and beautiful. There is more, but you can guess the rest. What makes me eligible for Ann lander's ten lashes with the wet noodle is the fact that I read the ENTIRE book. I turned the pages for thirty-five minutes, totally unaware ofmy surroundings. (The kitchen, 7 am.). I was astounded. Though I should have known better, I assumed that people who read the romances were people oflimited experience in the world: young girls, or young mothers suffering the often depressing realities oflife alone with babies. I do not fit that description; neither does my sister, a potter in her forties, nor does my pediatrician, a man nearing 60 whom I respect and adore, nor do the young businesswomen, dressed for success and c::anyingbriefcases to their Jaw offices. Why do we a1I read these books? They are dreadful. The stories are unreal; the characters have no substance; you know the end ofthe story when you begin. Why keep turning the pages? One answer, I suppose, is escape. No matter how good our Jives may be, we a1I sometimes have the need to get away from the energy they demand ofus. But there are far better escape novels - mysteries, science fiction, thrillers, written well enough so that you believe, for a time, in the characters, in the action But romances consistently do a better business. Perhaps what catches romance readers is precisely that the romances ARE so dreadfully predictable, and our Jives are not. At the beginning ofany Harlequin, or even any ofthe "savage love" romances, or a gothic, the reader knows that the end will be happy and the heroine will find true love (and usuaily enough money). However happy our present Jives may be, they are not predictable. It is a relief, sometimes, to forget that we have little control, that disaster may strike, and that we will have to cope with it. Sometimes we want life to run smoothly, with.rewards; mostly, it doesn't. In the romances, for however long it takes to finish the book, life does "work out right" and women are "rewarded" with love. The Onderella complex is still with us. (Just possibly it is so far embedded in our genes that it will always be with us!) Romances are fantasies, and just as fantasy for children allows them to face in unthreatening ways their most basic fears ofthe night, ofdeath, ofbeing alone, so the romance fantasy, set in a world unknown to the average reader (usually a world ofwealth, or ofanother country, or ofanother era) ailows the reader to give free range to her fantasies ofthe perfect lover, ofthe man who will save her, ofthe man she can change from unloving to loving. At the same time, the romance -however badly written - can give the reader a sense of adventure, a sense ofrisk-taking, a sense that life is full ofpossibilities. The man who sits next to you on the bus or the plane just possibly COULD faD in love with you - ifyou are willing to risk it. Mostly, risk is easier to read about. Fmally, despite being for the most part badlywritten, romances seem to speak to a basic need in most ofus, male and female (though overtly mostly female), for connection with someone caring ofthe opposite sex. literature, until quite recently, has been dominated by male writers writing out ofthe male experience which - like it or not - has been different from the female experience. Male writers in the past have not focused on relationships between men and women; most female writers have not yet learned to do it well. (There are, ofcourse, some wonderful women writers; some will be included in theJune book review section) In the meantime, those who are writing the romances, however badly they I do their job, are speaking to issues ofconcern to women. Love. Adventure. Romance. Relationships. Risks. Rewards. Perhaps each ofus should ask ourselves just what is missing from our Jives that we find, however momentarily, in those thirty-five minutes ofa romance novel. It might be something which, if noticed, we could actuaily find in our real Jives, and we might learn something about ourselves. AmlBerman wom at the public library a!ld doesn't apect to ever read another romance novel - but life is not predictable, a!ld she makes no promises. We grew up founding our dreams on the infinite promise of American advertising. I still believe that one can learn to play the piano by mail and that mud will give you a perfect complexion. - Zelda Fitzgerald NElWORKIS HAPPY BIRTHDAY I Plant Maintenance with a Guarantee Service, quality and maybe something just a little different.
