The four participants dis cussed the most common dif ficulties shared by a growing number of older women as part of the Women's Symposium, which concluded Friday. “I am not living but subsist ing,” panel member Kay Dick erson said of the $237 unem ployment check she receives each month. Three of the women said they often don’t have enough money to buy such essentials as adequate medical care or gas for their car. One woman who suffers from arthritis said she can’t afford the doctors and physical therapy she needs. Young people can’t imagine what it’s like being forced to spend extra money — such as birthday checks from relatives — on medical payments, she said. The elderly often sit in their low-income apartments watch ing soap operas day after day because they cannot afford to do anything else, one woman said. Although retired men also suffer from poverty, the finan cial problems of women are more frequent and severe, the panelists said. Dickinson, who does not have a husband, said women who are alone and don’t have the benefit of a husband’s pension often suffer the worst financial hard ships. Although women older than 65 are eligible for social security, the checks frequently don’t cover all their needs, she said The three women on the pan el who don't have husbands said they are living on less than $300 a month. Even older women who have the skills and are still young and healthy enough to work rarely are given the opportunity, Dick inson said. Employers are reluctant to hire or train someone who will retire in a few years, she explained. As if being poor isn’t enough, women who don’t have money are “forced out of the main stream of society,” Dickinson said. All panelists agreed that both elderly men and women without money cease to exist in the view of society and the government. “Everyone would like us to just go off and disappear," Dickinson said. Depression is another major problem for elderly women. The panelists said not having e nough money to go places and participate in activities they en joy is extremely frustrating. One woman said she always was depressed but she had learned to cope with it. “I would put my head in the oven if I could afford the gas," panelist Edie Couey said jokingly. Couey recalled days when grandparents were an essential part of the family. They often told stories to their grandchil dren and were considered valuable members of society whose opinions were respect ed, she said Mention of senior centers and senior housing complexes drew moans from all the panelists. “These places are a kind of cocoon. The elderly would much rather be somewhere else,” Dickinson said. When the elderly are separat ed from society and forgotten, everyone is the loser, the women said Panel to discuss abortion A symposium on "Abortion and Reproductive Freedom" will be held today at 8 p.m. in the EMU Forum. The panel discussion, sponsored by the Campus American Civil Liberties Union and the Oregon Student Public Interest Research Group, will focus on proposed legislation at the state and national levels. Several pieces of legislation dealing with abortion already have been introduced, includ ing the controversial Human Life Statute bill sponsored by Sen. Jesse Helms, R-North Ca rolina, and Rep. Henry Hyde, R-lllinois. The bill would define human life as existing from conception and, theoretically, could allow individual states to pass laws defining abortion as murder. Panelists will include Margie Hendricksen, state representa tive, Carol Carver, state coor dinator for the National Organ ization for Women, Lynda Harrington, past chairer for the Oregon Right to Life, and Rita Radich, Legislative Action chairer for the Oregon Right to Life. Katherine Eaton, head of the Bureau of Governmental Research Library, will moderate the discussion. Serving: Fast Lunch, Best Chinese Food, Inexpensive. Open 10:30 4:00 Mon-Fri 1275 Alder St. 7
