Program provides women with opportunities By Derace Orput One of the more specialized organizations found on campus is the Woman's Program, located in room R-3 of the student union building. On the bulletin boards in the Center one may find pamphlets covering a wide variety of subjects, including babysitting, child care, battered women / children, and abortion. Leaflets concerning workshops and self-help clinics are also prominent. All this is a combined effort begun primarily by Acting Director Vicki Burney, with the help of Martha Lehr, Judy Eberhart, and Cynthia Poole and numerous staff and student volunteers. Several objectives provide the basis ofthe program. One of these is to provide opportunities for women to become more aware of educational opportunities, support services, and career options

available to them. Another objective is to improve articul :::. tion relative to women's needs and opportunities between high school and college, collegiate and noncollegiate institutions and postsecondary institutions and government, business and industry in their roles as trainers and employers. These are conveyed by outreach, public speaking presentations, news releases, public service announcements on local television and radio, brochures, newsletters, and an individual and group counseling mobile unit. Assisting women in taking advantage of existing education and support opportunities constitutes another objective, which is communicated by active outreach and counseling by staff located on the campus and at satellite centers in cooperation with community and government agencies, business, and industry.

Higher education opportunities for women enhance the program by developing community awareness concerning social barriers such as social class, ethnic groups, and family and community attitudes. Courses and / or workshops are provided centering on the needs and opportunities for women and the existing barriers. Lastly, the program assists women in overcoming inhibiting psychological barriers and in developing the ability to become self directing with respect to life long learning and productiveness. This is accomplished by instituting individual and group counseling programs and a follow-up program oriented specifically to the needs of women involved in the program. Despite the current success of the program, several problems were encountered when it was first being developed. Vicki Burney, who before starting the program was working

with Dr. Theodore Kilman on progressive development, accounts the slow start to lack of publicity. There have been special women's classes taught here for years, but it was felt something more was needed. Even after writing the program and getting it funded, established classes were brand new and needed publicity. In addition, without the manpower, or womanpower in this case, new classes simply didn't materialize. Now, with volunteers and more assistant instructors, the program is enjoying tremendous success and overflowing classes. A Women in History class is currently being taught by Linda Guerrero, along with a Personal Awareness for Women class taught jointly by Judy Eberhart and Martha Lehr. The program is trying to offer duplicates of the more popular classes. Contrary to the deceptive title of

the program, men are welcome to become involved also. "We like to think in terms of involving men in the program," comments Burney. The support groups included in the program are a radical concept in North County in terms ofthe locale. "It takes a long time to communicate with all the people in the area," states Burney. Since about half of the student population is female and many are working and / or have children, these groups offer child care, financial aid information and various kinds of counseling. For further information, contact Vicki Burney at ext. 505 or room R-3 of the student union building.
