Inline Classifieds- use this I then use this UO holds first Feminist Fair ■A cartoonist,comedian and some musicians made up a list of entertainers promoting feminism Friday By Lisa Toth Oregon Daily Emerald Syndicated cartoonist Jan Eliot took advantage of her Friday af ternoon book signing at the Femi- ' nist Fair in the EMU Amphithe ater to say a word that has caused her trouble in the past: boobs. Eliot, a 1977 University gradu ate, attended the ASUO-spon sored event, which was also part of Sexual Assault Awareness Month. “You Can’t Say Boobs on Sun day” is Eliot’s second collection of her comic strip “Stone Soup,” and the book title represents an inci dent when Eliot’s fairly uncontro versial cartoon was censored. “In the cartoon, the 13-year-old was looking enviably at high school girls,” Eliot said. “The lit tle sister said, ‘What have they got that we haven’t got?’ The answer to her question was ‘boobs.’” • Eliot’s editor, with the Univer sal Press syndicate, said she could use the word Monday through Saturday and added the rule protects a family environ ment from the word “boobs” in the most wholesome part of the Sunday newspaper. “I won’t say ‘boobs’ in the Sun day funnies,” Eliot said. “But no body said I couldn’t put it in the title of my book.” Eliot said’out of approximately 250 syndicated comic strips, only about eight are-created by women. “Every entertainer, speaker, tabler and participant of the [Fem inist Fair] is a self-identified femi nist,” event coordinator and sen ior English iriajor Jennifer Eliot said. Jennifer is Jan’s daughter. She added the intent of the event was to advocate women’s rights and help clear up miscon ceptions about what the term “feminism” means. “We wanted to let people know feminism is a presence on cam pus, and it’s a good word,” she said. Student band Narboza kicked off the feminist celebration. Stephen Lane, Jake H.ouck and Ted Welles, who describe their music as “funky rock and roll,” Ryan Starkweather Emerald The Feminist Fair was sponsored by among others the Young Women’s Christian As sociation, Sexual Assault Free Environment and Men Against Sexism have been together for over a year performing throughout the Eu gene community. “Jake and I are active in our women’s studies class and in sup porting the feminist movement,” Welles said. Kathryn Lorish, a local solo artist, filled the amphitheater with her folk-like guitar tunes. She has showcased her talent at the Lord Leebrick Theatre Com pany and recorded a CD as well. Jennifer Eliot said Lorish was chosen because the different lev els of energy in her music usually draws a crowd. Comedian Lynn Sconyers, a University alumnus and a finalist in the title of “Eugene’s Funniest Person,” brought her stand-up act to the amphitheater. “We picked Lynn because she is closest in age to college stu dents and she can relate to the au dience.” Jennifer Eliot said. During her presentation, Sconyers used dry humor about her “long crotch” and pick-up lines at bars to generate laughs. Ginger Apling, who works at the Oregon Research Institute, said she came to watch Sconyers Friday after seeing one of her pre vious shows. Apling said few women address sexual and offen sive material the way Sconyers so openly does. “In the community, we have a long way to go in terms of femi nism. There are a lot of inequali ties I have noticed out of college,” Apling said. “People don’t seem to be aware of issues about gender and powers and the need for equality.” Apling said she enjoyed attend ing the Feminist Fair and noticed college students are more active in feminism issues.. “Now that we have done [the Feminist Fair] once, if we did it again next year, it would be twice as good,” Jennifer Eliot said. The event raised donations for Planned Parenthood of Eugene, a free community education pro gram that educates youth about healthy sexual relations and HIV/AIDS and STD prevention. The Feminist Fair was spon sored by the Young Women’s Christian Association, Sexual As sault Free Environment, Men Against Sexism, Sexual Assault Support Services, Project Saferide and the ASUO Women’s Center.
