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.
