BEYOND THE HEDGES/by Michele Gillespie
Friedan explains
women's second stage
Betty Friedan, author of The
Feminine Mystique and a driving
force behind the women's
movement, recently discussed the
"second stage" of the movement
before faculty and students at
Texas Tech University. To achieve
this "second stage," explained
Friedan, men and women must
deny traditional gender roles and
become true to themselves.
While publication of The
Feminine Mystique in 1963
prompted an entirely new look at
the image of woman as more than
wife and mother, Friedan believes
women must seek more.
"It was necessary for women to
move beyond the definition of the
feminine mystique," Friedan said.
"Women were put down, women
were not considered people.
Nobody saw this as a cause for
anger."
The changes induced by this
earlv feminist movement,
principally combining career with
families, has inadvertently forced
women to compete according to
the male model of competition.
"Feminity is being a woman and
being all you can be and being free.
The value is in the experience of
being a woman. Look at man — he
used to be defined by his score in
the rat race," Friedan said. "Polls
show that the man today is not so
concerned about dominance and
he wants these values and certain
satisfactions to grow that ten years
ago were considered to be sissy and
feminine "
Friedan continued, "We're
seeing a sex role revolution — an
evolution — a breakthrough from
the masculine mystique and the
feminine mystique. We can't just
look at women."
The superwoman concept, the
mother and career woman and
pepper
lover all-in-one, was not the
intention of the women's liberation
movement, Friedan said. "The
woman is going to be a tired
superwoman. We didn't go
through all this for women to die
like man. That's not what it's all
about."
Friedan contends that the young
men and women of today must
address the difficulties and
dilemmas within the second stage
"I wish you adventure in working
out those problems," Friedan said.
"After we turn the government
around — and we will turn the
government around — you should
embrace the change as a part of
being who you are."
"If we begin to be who we really
are,"' she said, "maybe we really
can make love and not war."
Stanford studies gift
of gay scholarship
Stanford University is currently
considering accepting a gift that
would establish a scholarship
available only to homosexual
students. According to University
President Donald Kennedy, the
proposal, while worthy ot
University attention, has "two
strikes" against it.
"What I can tell you at this
point," said Kennedy on a student
radio talk show, "is that I'm very,
very worried about any proposal
that requires a declaration of faith
on the part of the individual as a
requirement — and I don't care
what that declaration of faith is."
Though the original proposal to
establish a scholarship for
homosexuals was rejected by staff
members, it was resubmitted with
new arguments by its proposer.
Kennedy contends that while the
declaration of faith element is a
crucial problem, an even more
difficult element provides greater
difficulties. Kennedy said, "The
proposal requires a declaration
that would not be possible for an

I think that puts two strikes on the

Harvard ACSR adopts
nuclear resolutions
Harvard University's Advisory
Committee on Shareholder
Responsibility (ACSR) has
adopted in an unprecedented
move, a set of guidelines on
nuclear arms-related resolutions
that avoid explicit endorsement of
arms proliferation.
These guidelines will be used by
the ACSR when the committee
BLOOM COUNTY
recommends how Harvard's
governing corporation should
vote in shareholder resolutions
involving companies that produce
nuclear arms. The ACSR makes
non-binding issues to the
corporation regarding ethical
issues in the handling of Harvard's
$2 billion endowment.
While members of the ACSR
refused to describe the outlines,
undergraduate member Jonathan
G. Cedarbaum contends that
ACSR policy supports resolutions
proposing that arms-producing
companies must investigate the
effect of their products.
The ACSR also intends to
compile a history of ACSR
reaction to companies that failed
to meet the Sullivan principles a
set of guidelines addressing labor
and equal opportunity for U.S.
companies in South Africa
This information will he
incorporated into the ACSR's
discussions of Nabisco and
Carnation, companies that failed
to meet the Sullivan principles this
year.
The ACSR has already written
to Nabisco about the company's
failure to meet the Sullivan
principles. Nabisco responded but
failed to sufficiently address the
committee's queries.
