"My hope is that this will not become just another policy to stick in the book," said the committee chairman. "I do not anticipate any persistant disagreement. I'm . not looking for persistant disagreement but should it occur we now have orderly procedures which we can attack the disagreement rationally instead of resorting to all kinds of emotional and consequently nonproductive alternati'ves " According to the ~roposed policy, " He is not an arbitrator," Cutler ' no negot'1a t wns describes of the mediator, " he. makes co uld be handl e d by the . recommendations, his decisions h are, facu1ty senate.

why
would a believe th at she might go to college, "but girl want to go to college when she can become a wife, cook, homemaker, mother, and submerge herself into a second-class existence?" other items which Dr. Grinker noted in the boy-girl relationship is the fact that even on TV's Sesame is askStreet the girl is always depicted as the one who . . ' ing the questions -- and the boy, by hls supenor knowledge, is the one that has all the answers to the girl's questions. "We are looking into this discrimination --not only in Sesame Street, but in all media that depicts the female in the lower order of the boy-girl , man-woman pecking society," Dr. Grinker avowed. BASIC TENETS Dr , Grinker also pointed out that the basic tenets of the boy-girl process is: " if the girl shows (this i s in the growing up process) an interest in caring for.people, she is given a nurse's kit; or if she shows an mterest . in drawing, she is given a painting kit. ''On the other hand, the boy, if he shows an mtere.st in caring for other people, is given a doctor'~ ki~ an? iS pushed toward becoming a phYsician. If he has mcl~at10ns that reveal an interest in drawing, he rece1ves an architect's kit and guided toward a career which is more . lucr ative, to say the least." Jumping a few years and bringing her audience .up to date on the boy-girls relationship, to the man-wife relationship, Dr. Grinker reported that the present laws discriminate against the wife. "For instance," she asked, "do you know that up

until 1953 in California, a husband had complete control over all money that his wife had or made through working? And that a husband in this and some other states, still has control over all of their community property?" Dr. Grinker also informed her audience that in California, and again in several other states, a wife can't buy land in her name or open an account with a brokerage firm to buy stock, with having the papers signed by her husband giving her permission to buy land and stock under both their names, even if it is her money. Carrying this theme a step further, Dr. Grinker related that until last year, if a husband and wife, both working wanted to buy a house or land, most banks considered only half of the wife's salary, when it came to the final yea or nay if the couple were solvent enough to float a loan. EQUAL RIGHTS During the course of her talk, Dr. Grinker related that 14 of the 50 states had ratified the Equal Rights Act which has been passed by Congress. This act could aboli sh community property and perhaps, if a test case were made, the Equal Rights Act could cover contracts and make it possible for the wife to act independently of her husband, Dr. Grinker said. Dr, Grinker also reported that Governor Reagan had signed a Child Care Center Bill, "but there were no provisions in the bill for monies to be allotted to the centers." She then stated that President Nixon had mixed the

Child Care Center at the highest governmental level. "Early laws which abolished abortions," Dr.Grinker commented, "were a hoax.Forthereweremanypractical nurses who were and had been trained to perform abortions; any woman who wanted one could get it." Dr, Grinker related that many states have modified abortion laws, and said that the state of New York was far ahead of other states in this matter. She also stated that hysterectomies were more dangerous than abortions. Opposition to legalized abortions, Dr. Grinker commented, has come from political leaders, religious groups and other segments of modern society who feel that the abortion is taking a life, and therefore, is wrong, She also stated that all birth control methods don't work and that there is no contraceptive that is 100 per cent effective. She also mentioned vasectomies for the male, but added that there are some states which have laws that require a wife's signature before the husband can have the operation. "Women," Dr. Grinker avers, "should have control over what happens to their bodies, and in the case of a husband and wife, both should be responsible for making the decision as to whether the distaff side should have an abortion, for either economical, mental, or physical reasons.'' The South Bay Chapter of NOW, with both sexes as members, meets the first Sunday of each month (unless that is a holiday and then it will meet the following Sunday) at 7 p.m. in the Sl1lll\Yvale Co-op, Freemont and Saratoga.
