Burrows also pointed to new equality in Oregon's marriage
age Formerly, a woman had to be 15 years old to legally
marry, with no such restrictions on men. The new law requires
both to be at least 17
Burrows noted that despite these gains, inequality of jobs,
opportunities and pay is still widespread. To fight that, she
urged women to get involved in politics
Hendrik sen, the only woman lawyer in the Oregon House,
talked about women's rights gains in the 1981 Legislature,
such as a new taw that uses marriage license revenues to
support domestic violence shelters "
Women abused by their husbands receive crisis
intervention, counseling and support at such shelters
But one of Hendriksen s pet projects didn’t survive the
Legislature — the comparable worth bill ” It would have
helped increase pay for people in sex-segregated jobs with
undervalued salaries, such as nurses and librarians, Hen
driksen said Because women traditionally hold these jobs,
they receive less, she added.
Hendriksen, like Burrows, urged more women to become
politically involved "Women in this state have a tremendous
impact on laws affecting women For changes to occur, we

Center releases film
A film that takes a practical and informative look at the causes
and consequences of back injuries has just been released for
distribution by the Labor Education and Research Center at the
University
"Lost Time" presents a new approach for preventing back
injuries, one of the most serious occupational health problems
plagueing workers and industry today with more than 1.5 million
on-the-job injuries annually
Ergonomics, the redesigning of work processes and lifting
tasks, is introduced as a means of reducing the high incidence of
serious back injury
"The film looks at the way people work and stresses the need
for job redesign where lifting requirements are excessive," says
Dick Ginnold, coordinator for LERC's Occupational Health and
Safety program
Footage of hazardous construction work, metalworking,
electronics and warehousing is used as a backdrop for discussion
of traditional preventive approaches — training, worker selection
and conditioning — and their limitations Interviews with afflicted
workers, employers, physicians and ergonomic experts help tell the
story of the occupational back injury
'"Lost Time' would be very useful for meetings of unions and
joint labor-management groups, health and safety committees, and
state and federal OSHA officials," Ginnold said
"It would also be effective as part of a training package for new
OSHA inspectors as well as an aid for classes in engineering,
sociology, business and management, to familiarize students with
workplace issues and various job hazards "

SURC — planning and PR
By STEVE HOOKS
Of tha Emerald
Students who join the Student
University Relations Committee
can gain experience in public
relations while helping plan
many University activities, says
John English, graduate adviser
and past president of the volun
teer organization.
SURC has helped plan "Duck
Week,” Parents' Week,
Homecoming, Commencement,
and the Early Orientation and
Registration Programs (EORP),
and now is assisting University
Pres. Paul Olum's inauguration
Sunday, according to recently
elected chairer Molly Poole
Poole is a senior majoring in
public relations
SURC also worked with the
ASUO during last spring’s
higher-education funding rally
by conducting an informative
meeting and lobbying at the
legislature, Poole says.
SURC "directly relates to
student needs — now and in the
future,” says adviser Mary
Hudzikiewicz of the department
of public services. The groups
other duties include turning un
interested students into inter
ested alumni and helping the
community get a "student per
spective” on University events.
"But I also encourage and
help the group s own projects
dealing with school spirit,"
Hudzikiewicz says.
Curt Simic, the University's
public relations vice president,
began SURC three years ago
with 13 members. Now it has 31.
The organization receives
funds from the public relations
department and works with the
directors in that department,
Hudzikiewicz says. The
department selects prospective
volunteers from applications
and interviews, Poole says.
Hudzikiewicz says while
SURC has not suffered budget
cuts, neither has it gained
funds.
SURC wants to lobby the
legislature and work with the
ASUO again for higher educa
tion funding, says Hudzikiewicz.
Lane County legislators were
impressed by students’ efforts
to lessen budget cuts last
spring, she says.
