Department. While Tilby did
not have any details about the
encounter, he did say that the
officers just checked with An
chor to find out if he had heard
anything.
According to Ruth Holmes.
Anchor's supervisor and chair
woman of the Plot Owner's
Association, this last episode is
a clear case of police
harassment.
"It was quiet," she said.
"They came in and woke Victor
up and insisted on searching
the building. He cooperated
with them completely. They
just want htm out." she con
tinued. "I'm glad we're getting
him out of there."
The controversy surrounding
Anchor's presence in the
cemetery has nothing to do with
his having to leave. After con
suiting with the Eugene
Building and Permits office,
Molmes determined that the
toolshed doesn't have enough
room to qualify as a dwelling
unit under the city's building
code.
"There are dorm rooms
smaller than that." Holmes said
with an ironic laugh. She added
that Anchor was an effective
deterrent to vandalism. "It is a
shame he has to leave. It was
working out for everybody. Vic-'
tor and us." she continued. "He
wasn't hurting anybody, but
somebody always has to make
waves."
Anchor is still an employee of
the Plot Owners Association.
Instead of being there 24 hours a
day, he now will be there only
when them is maintenance
work to be done.

that the ERA would legalize

could have been emphasized
and would have garnered more
support, Mansbridge said. For
instance, the War Powers Act
gives the military final authori
ty on who serves in combat, and
would have superseded the
ERA. she said.
Supporters didn’t take the
more moderate approach
because of the radicalism.
Mansbridge said. The
radicalism was strengthened by
something Mansbridge calls
"cognitive dissonance,” mak
ing an issue seem more impor
tant than it is to justify one's
involvement.
"Social movements, which
require people to spend lots of
time for very little personal
reward, will produce among
their members a conviction that
the thing they're doing will
have major affect.” Mansbridge
said.
Initiations work the same
way in fraternities and
sororities — you've given so
much out for this it must be
pretty good,” she said. "This
will create institutional
deafness. People just don’t
listen to what others are
saying."
Taking a less radical ap
proach is not selling out.
Manshridge said. Instead, in
corporating the concerns of less
radical women may be the best
approach in passing the amend
ment as well as putting
"sisterhood into effect in the
most meaningful way."
Mary Prances Berry, professor
of law and history at Howard
University and author of "Why
KKA Failed: Politics, Women's
Rights, and the Amending Pro
cess of the Constitution” (In
diana University Press), also
believes the radical approach
was the wrong strategy, she
said.
"They did not understand
that issues of the role of women,
the draft, or the nature of the
family went to the heart of what
many people believed." she
said in a Dec. 3 Chronicle of
Higher Kducation article.
Mimi Johnson, director of the
Center for the Study of Women
in Society, agreed with
Mansbridge and Berry "The
radical approach to fighting
people who were worried about
family issues frightened a lot of
people away from the ERA.”
she said.
"It also leads to a total non
recognition of gender dif
ferences.” something not in the
best interests of women, she
said. "1 don't like to put it that
we've gone too far. but a single
tack is not effective. One has to
balance.”
"I'm one of those who see the
ERA as an important symbol. It
strikes me as a relatively empty
symbol.” said Barbara Pope,
director of the Women's Studies
Progam. "I’m not happy to hear
they'll do it."
NOW’s celebrity-studded an
niversary celebration typifies
some of the discontent with
NOW and its renewed drive to
ratify the ERA.
"In form and structure, the
three-hour-long performance
was sort of an Academy Awards
of feminism," according to a
Dec. 3 New York Times article.
More than 100 film and televi
sion stars entertained an au
dience of 2.800 guests who paid
from $25 to $500 for tickets.
This exhibition of privilege
and showiness alienates those
who view NOW and the ERA as
disconnected from the op
pressive daily reality of many
women.
"There’s a lot of poor women
and lesbians and women of col
or who don't feel NOW really
addresses thoir concerns,” said
Harb Ryan, volunteer coor
dinator with the Rape Crisis
Network.
Kylene Folsom, director of
Women in Transition, believes
the older women that she serves
who are re-entering school "fit
into the feminist movement."
but don't necessarily have the
same objectives as NOW
feminists, she said.
"Some of them wouldn’t look
the people of NOW up because
they would see them as too
radical and not addressing cen
tral issues," she said.
Personally, “I didn't feel like
I would fit into the organiza
tion. 1 did feel it was very mid
dle class and white," Folsom
said.
Folsom calls herself a “strong
feminist” but said she doesn't
push her politics on others,
something other feminists have
been accused of. "If 1 put that
on to them they wouldn't be
able to say what they choose
and need to say about their
lives,” she said.
Ryan also believes feminism
has a negative connotation, she
said. "There’s women and men
who say. 'I don’t want anything
to do with it.' But when you talk
about specific issues which are
considered feminist issues, they
agree with them,” she said.
Additionally, some militant
feminists within NOW have
threatened many of both sexes
who consider them man-hating
lesbians. "That's used against
feminists and it puts the
perspective on men instead of
women," Ryan countered.
"It can be used to divide us
against ourselves. The focus
isn't that women are man
hating. but they’re trying to
point out all the woman
hating.” she said.
"For every woman, no matter
what her sexual preference, if
you step out of line too much
they’re going to call you a les
bian. That's a pretty powerful
tool." said Betsy Brown, a jour
nalist with the Feminist Press, a
bi-monthly newspaper publish
ed in Eugene.
One mistake that is often
made is that NOW is not the
same as the women’s move
ment. Brown said.
"The women's movement is
incredibly diverse and there is
no organization that can speak
for all women." she said.
"Because the women's move
ment is so diverse, there are
problems with racism, with
elitism, with selling out. But
what movement doesn't?”
