Gender-gap theory questioned
By Dave Berns
Of the Emerald
The belief that women vote as a monolithic
bloc is a distortion of reality and a serious
political miscalculation, says political science
Prof. Harmon Ziegler.
“In choosing Geraldine Ferraro as his runn
ing mate. Walter Mondale overestimated the
cohesiveness of the women’s vote,” said Ziegler.
“Women are so heterogeneous as a group that the
candidacy of a woman for office will not simply
cause a woman to vote for her.”
Rather, he believes it is the political
philosophy of the candidate that will determine
whether or not a woman will vote for that
candidate.
“Progressive female voters would not vote
Jeane Kirkpatrick into elective office simply
because she’s a woman,” he says. Ziegler
believes women will only vote for candidates
whose political philosophy matches their own.
In his recently published book, “Women,
Public Opinion and Politics,” co-written with
Larry Poole, a former University political science
professor, Ziegler concludes that female voters
have been improperly labeled as "liberal
Democrats.” *
“There is much stereotyping of women and
the so-called women’s vote by candidates, the
media and many political scientists,” Ziegler
says.
Women will divide their votes in this year’s
presidential race as they did in 1980. when a
plurality of women cast their votes for Ronald
Reagan, Ziegler says.
Harmon Ziegler
Ziegler feels that the political philosophy of
the Mondale-Ferraro ticket falls to the left of the
American electorate. For this reason Ziegler ex
pects a majority of women to vote against Walter
Mondale.
Ziegler also believes that because of state
Sen. Margie Hendriksen's liberal views, a majori
ty of female voters in Oregon will vote against her
in her race for the U.S. Senate against Republican
incumbent Mark Hatfield.
“The true manifestation of the women’s
rights movement in this country is the fact that
women are found all over the political spec
trum,” Ziegler says. “The acknowledgement of
this reality confirms that women are truly on the
road to equality."
Student rise a ‘mixed blessing’
By Michael Doke
Of the Emerald
Enrollment is up at the
University — much more than
expected — but officials are
viewing the news as a mixed
blessing, says University Pres.
Paul Olum.
While it’s good news that
more students are in campus
classrooms, it’s bad news that
the boost in enrollment came
during a time of budget cut
backs for higher education at
the University and state, Olum
says.
So far only three institutions
in the state. Western Oregon
State College, Southern Oregon
State College and the Universi
ty, have seen an increase in
enrollment for fall term. As of
the second week of classes,
University enrollment is up by
1.8 percent over the same
period last year, according to
reports by the State System of
Higher Education.
It was predicted last year the
University’s enrollment would
go down by 2.7 percent. But as
funding was based on this ex
pected decrease in enrollment,
the forecast caused a few pro
blems. Olum says.
As of Thursday, 15,669
students paid their fees in
Oregon Hall, which is 600 more
students than was projected in
January, says Jim Buch, director
of admissions. He predicts ap
proximately 15,800 students
will eventually put their money
down for the term.
“It is a bigger problem than in
the past because of budget cuts.
This year our operating budget
is so tight, but we need the extra
money,” he says.
Lower-level classes in com
position. computing and
literature are now in great de
mand and the classes need to be
provided, Olum says. Since
math and languages are now re
quirements for freshmen, more
classes in these departments are
needed as well.
Freshmen registration is also
up, he says. But as freshmen
enrollment increases, class
space for seniors and juniors
becomes scarce. Olum adds.
“You (have) got to make
classes available for graduating
seniors. It's a shame not to.“ he
says.
More faculty have been hired
and the University has made a
“heroic effort’* in making
classes available. Olum says.
The University must provide
classes for students "if we are
going to keep students coming
here," he says.
All dollars available from sav
ings in energy and fringe
benefit funds that have realized
windfall investment returns
have gone into making classes
accessible to students, he says.
Tuition from every state col
lege goes directly to the state
chancellor's treasury, says Paul
Holbo, vice-provost for
academic affairs. At the end of
next week, the last week for
University enrollment, the stu
dent headcount will be final
and the state office may reroute
some of these dollars back into
the University’s pocketbook, he
says.
