Jeans Day A Success, Says Steiner, Doug Bailey, Ann Fridinger

Social Justice: Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion

Despite some student opposition and organizational problems, Friday's Gay Blue Jeans Day was termed a success by one club member. "There seemed to be many people wearing jeans and not as many counter-protesters as last year," said Tim Lane, a member of the Wilde-Stein Club, UMO's homosexual organization. "Last year there was much more opposition to the event."

We-Them' Inhumanity, G. J. Svoboda Ii

Social Justice: Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion

I am saddened by your editorial endorsement of "quiet complacency" by suggesting that the Gay community would have been better off respecting the individualist dictum of "You do your thing and I'll do mine."

Norm L. Mann, Norm L. Mann, Kathi Williams

Social Justice: Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion

I wore jeans last Friday in support of the gay community and their rights as individuals. After experiencing the attitude and prejudices of some of my fellow students, I wrote this sort of conglomerate of their opinions: "Phew! Am I glad "gay day" is over! Now I can put my good ole jeans on again.

Sex Equity Dealt With In Stages, Richard Mulhern

Social Justice: Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion

Most institutions in this country are addressing sex equity problems resulting from the way in which men and women have been socialized, said JoAnn Fritsche, UMO's director of equal employment opportunity.

Jeans Day 'Harmful', The Maine Campus

Social Justice: Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion

The wearing of blue jeans today will be interpreted by the Wilde-Stein Club as a show of support for gay rights.

No Conspiracy, But…, Robert S. Wilson

Social Justice: Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion

This is in response to the editorial in Oct. 31 issue of the Maine Campus.

Looks For The Day, Mark J. Burke

Social Justice: Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion

With the publicity of the Wilde-Stein's "Gay Blue Jeans Day," it is perhaps opportune to examine the values of homosexuality.

Strange Glances And Obscenities, Rick Dempsey

Social Justice: Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion

John, known by his friends for never having a bad word to say about anybody, and also known to be the last one to catch up on the latest news on campus, awakes Friday morning and slips into his faded jeans as usual.

An Obvious Barrier Builder, Ken Adams

Social Justice: Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion

Dear Wilde-Steiners, What is your problem anyway? Have you ever heard of learning from experience? The Wilde-Stein club survives very well in the UMO community. Due to a general atmosphere of indifference, you are able to meet and enjoy your rights with little interference from your fellow students. If you claim: "We just want the freedom to be able to live our lives the way we want," fine...do that. We at UMO have not stopped you from being able to achieve this in the past.

Wearing A Hat, Dave Bigelow

Social Justice: Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion

This letter is in reference to Gay Blue Jeans Day. This Friday I'll be wearing a hat at well as blue jeans. I'll explain why shortly.

This Is Gonna Hurt, Marie Philbrick

Social Justice: Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion

If nothing else, Wilde-Stein plans for another "Jeans Day" has made many people more aware of homosexual issues.

(Wo)Mennonites, Reta Halteman Finger

Biblical, Religious, & Philosophical Studies Educator Scholarship

In the early 1970s, a group of six evangelical women in Chicago began meeting. Their topic of conversation? The emerging secular movement of feminism and what it might mean in a Christian context. These discussions would eventually lead to the Daughters of Sarah, a mid-20th century American journal for the particular audience of Christian feminists. Daughters of Sarah published some of the earliest religious scholarship on the topic.

Blue Jeans Fever, The Maine Campus

Social Justice: Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion

The UMO Wilde-Stein club missed the nail completely in promoting another Gay Blue Jeans Day on campus. While their message—gays are human and deserve to be treated as such—is relevant, their form of expression is a bad choice.

Gays Plan Jeans Day, The Maine Campus

Social Justice: Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion

In an effort to make people feel "uncomfortable," UMO's Wilde-Stein club has labeled Friday "Gay Blue Jeans Day" and will consider the wearing of denim clothing a visible display of support for gay rights.

Wilde Stein Club's Budget Slashed, Craig Peters

Social Justice: Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion

The Student Government has cut this year's allocations to the Wilde Stein Club's budget by almost $500 over last year. The 1978-79 Student Government budget includes $769.35 allocated to the Wilde Stein Club, UMO's association for homosexuals. In last year's budget, the gays received $1,233.70.

Are They The First Two Women's Studies Ph.D.'S?, Sally Wagner, Karen Rotkin

Women's Studies Quarterly

Dear Ms. Reuben:

In June we both graduated from the History of Consciousness program at the University of California, Santa Cruz. The History of Consciousness Board of Studies is interdisciplinary, and it is possible within the program to concentrate in an established discipline. Both of us concentrated our study within the area of women's studies; we had women's studies faculty on our oral and dissertation committees. Karen's dissertation was "The Social Construction of Female Sexual Experience," and Sally's was "That Word is Liberty: A Biography of Matilda Joslyn Gage" (a nineteenth-century American feminist).

No Longer "Just Us Chickens", Annette Niemtzow, Paula Mayhew

Women's Studies Quarterly

Dear Women's Studies Newsletter:

We read the Summer issue (Vol. VI, No. 3) with real interest and enthusiasm, gleaning vital information about NWSA events and organizational meetings and enjoying the longer articles and reports, especially Hester Eisenstein's piece on the Barnard Women's Studies Program.

We are writing out of deep concern, however, that the pages of the Women's Studies Newsletter—and other feminist news sources—not be limited to the retelling of our success in feminist areas, and in women's studies in particular. It has become clear to us, as it is to all of you, that Women's Studies Programs, …

More Bad News From Virginia, Suzette Henke

Women's Studies Quarterly

Dear Professor Howe:

As you may recall, I wrote to you describing the state of women's studies at the University of Virginia in the summer of 1975 (Women's Studies Newsletter, Vol. IV, No. 1). Since that time, there has been almost no perceptible change in the administrative policy at Virginia; things seem to be getting worse rather than better. In the last two years, the university has denied tenure to all female and black assistant professors under consideration. The statistics I will quote are almost exactly the same as those cited in 1975.

Women Mathematicians: A Bibliography, Karen D. Rappaport

Women's Studies Quarterly

Although long ignored or unrecognized, there have been several notable women in the history of mathematics. That the list is not long is due to the barriers presented to women trying to study mathematics. Those who were able to learn the subject encountered many more difficulties in their attempts to apply their knowledge. Yet in spite of these difficulties there were women who, because of circumstances, force of will, and/or brilliance, were able to achieve some recognition.

Graduate Programs In Women's Studies, The Feminist Press

Women's Studies Quarterly

Women's Studies Programs offering graduate degrees recently responded to the following questions:

1. What is the curricular shape and major emphasis of your program? How flexible is it? How many (and which) credits and other requirements must be completed for the degree? Name your degree(s).

2. What kinds of students are you interested in? What are your official (and unofficial) requirements and expectations of students? Provide relevant information about application deadlines, interviews etc.

3. What is the cost of your program? Are forms of financial aid or teaching assistantships available? Is housing available or especially difficult or expensive to obtain? …

FROM THE NATIONAL OFFICE

Summer is traditionally known as a "slow" season in the Washington area, and an organization like NWSA, involving so many students and teachers, also seems to "take a break" between semesters. I can't speak for the Federal folk—except to note that July's march on the Capitol was followed by their extending the deadline for ratification of the ERA—but our work continued.

A Literature Of Survivors: On Teaching Canada's Women Writers, Cathy N. Davidson

Women's Studies Quarterly

"Do all feminists kill themselves or go crazy - or does that only happen in the books feminists write?"

I am reminded of this question put to meby a student in the first Women and Literature course I taught, whenever I look over a syllabus which begins with, say, The Awakening or The House of Mirth and ends with such writers as Plath or Sexton. Of course, we teach more than plot summary and biography. Set in its context, Edna Pontellier's "awakening" should be historically, sociologically, and psychologically illuminating for the contemporary student. But we must also accept the fact …
