Are you
a libber?
Yes
So
Vlaybe
Women's Liberation...and the ordinary
woman. What does she really think? The Daily
Nebraskan sent reporter Dave Brink out to quiz
some of the female populace on the subject.
And here is what he encountered.
"Let's get it straight, I'm not a women's
libber, I'm a Kate Milletter!"
Senior Madonna Skinner explained that she
had been very favorably impressed by Millett's
appearance on the Dick Cavett show and
wanted to hear more.
Responses like Madonna's were fairly typical
of the female comments around campus
garnered by a random poll on women's
liberation and Kate Millet. That was
discouraging because this reporter (an admitted
male chauvinist) deliberately rigged the poll in
an attempt to find only the sweet old-fashioned
girls (who like to keep house and fetch their
husband's slippers) in the University, but. . .
But 1 kept finding people like Chris Borgens,
who exclaimed. "It's about time somebody
took a stand." Millett has good arguments, the
pretty sophomore added, and I'm glad she
"spearheaded" the movement.
Pat Love and Marialice Hayes, who have
already caught their ma-(oops) that is, have
already married, were less emphatic in their
support for the movement but still commended
Millett for giving leadership and direction to
women's liberation.
Freshman Linda Mack provided some
momentary hope when she said liberation was a
"new thing for her that she wasn't "really sure"
about. This was before hearing Millett's speech
so by now she's probably studying karate.
Women's lib probably has some bad parts,
senior Trish Cockle observed, but women
"should be able to do what they want to do."
"They do what they want to do anyway."
her boyfriend interrupted.
"That's telling her, brother," I thought.
"Show 'em who's boss!". We exchanged looks
of solidarity as she pulled him away by the ears.
By this time Millett's speech was almost over
and, in desperation, I started interviewing men.
Unfortunately, the guys didn't cooperate.
Apparently Millett's tendency toward rational,
soft-spoken argument and an absence of
flaming nostrils, fiery rhetoric or smouldering
bras, left the audience greatly admiring her.
Roger Kadavy and Jim Cleavenger both used
adjectives like interesting, intelligent, and well
spoken to describe Millett. Jim admitted he
didn't entirely support women's lib even
though he believes it is a "very legitimate"
cause.
Roger supports the movement but predicted
it's demise because, in his opinion, women
actually enjoy their present role.
Even Dennis Sporven, who was holding a
boldly lettered "MEN'S LIBERATION" sign,
failed me. According to Dennis, his group
doesn't oppose women's lib. Rather, the one
girl and five guys merely want to remind
women that men are being oppressed by rigid
role expectations just as women are.
I escaped to ihe dormitories and Greek
houses hoping to find some "chicks" who
hadn't heard Millett's presentation. The best I
could do was one coed in the chow line of
Women's Residence who said, "Woman isn't as
oppressed as she thinks she is." But, she
continued, women do need equal job
opportunity.
Finally accepting bitter defeat, head held
low, I walked back to the Union. A little coed
walked up beside me and I asked whether she
was a Kate Millett fan.
' "Hell no," she shouted, "she ain't for me."
Could this be the subservient little helpmate
type I'd been seeking?
Before I could ask she nailed me with a
snowball.

Home is where the heart is.
Home is also wherever a
Paulist is needed.
Whether the Paulist works
in a ghetto, a college campus,
a city parish or a remote
corner of the United States,
he is serving.
The Paulist is ministering
with words, deeds and sacra
ment . . . and zealous care to
the needs of God's People
everywhere. He is meeting
today's problems with thoughts
of those that will arise
tomorow.
That is the Paulist way. It
isn't easy but the worthwhile
things of life seldom are.

learning more about the Paulist
priesthood, write to:
