Voelz to speak at rally
‘Title IX awareness week’
info booth, rally planned
An information booth in the EMU lobby and a
rally in the EMU courtyard wMI mark ‘ Title IX
Awareness Week,” which begins today and runs
through Friday The event is co-sponsored by the
National Women Students Coalition, the
Women's Resource and Referral Service and the
ASUO
According to Julie St Clair of the Women s
Resource and Referral Service Awareness Week'
is designed to tell people what Title IX is, and
what is being done, to diminish the coverage of
Title IX and lessen its effectiveness.”
"The Reagen administration wants to do
away with it (TitleIX), " St Clair says
Title IX, signed into law by Pres Nixon in
1972, outlaws exclusion on the basis of gender to
anyone who wishes to participate in any educa
tional program or activity that receives federal
financial assistance Its biggest effects have been
within intercollegiate athletic departments
The rally, scheduled for noon Thursday, will
feature a number of local feminist speakers in
eluding State Rep. Margie Hendriksen D-40,
Eugene City Council member Cynthia Wooten,
Assistant Athletic Director Chris Voelz and Sherry
Oeser, from the Affirmative Action Office.
Heidi Banke, a local feminist singer and '
guitarist, will provide entertainment at the rally.
The information booth will be open all week
and will provide information on a number of
issues and services of special significance to
women.
St Clair says that women are reaffirming their
concerns on Title IX and other feminist issues
because "the progress women have made may be
thrown out the door in the next five to 10 years."
She says she hopes that activities during the week
will make people aware of this, and will encourage
women with complaints about things such as
sexual harassment and sexist material in text
books to come forward with them
“Just this week we have gotten complaints
on sexist class materials and sexist material in
the ASUO class guide,” she says.
