Women's Editor Squirms
As Students Turn Tables
By GAY PAULEY
Uniltd Press Women's Editor
New York W For some
years now I've been poking
my nose into other people's
business, , via the press card.
Last weekend, the tables
were turned and 75 reporters
from Northeastern Ohio high
schools had me squirming like
a worm on a fishhook as they
interviewed me.
After some thought, I've
reached two conclusions:
1. I'd rather ask questions
than answer them;
2. Modern education takes
a lot of barbs from many
quarters, but it des.erves a sa
lute for what it's done to a
certain 75.
Mui Interview
All this came about because
the school of journalism at
Kent State university, Kent,
O., asked me to talk during
it 18th annual scholastic
press clinic. That wasn't so
difficut. But I had no idea
what I was in for when we
got around to the part of the
program billed as "mass in
terview with speaker." Mass
interview turned out to be
hundreds of question on
everything from world affairs
to styles from 75 eager boys
and girls, selected from about
1100 registered for the clinic,
Each represented one
school and was assigned to
write a story from the ex
change. Each also was out to
win a merit award.
Taking care of such ques
tions as, Do you think we II
ever have a woman presi
dent?" weren't too difficult.
The answer was something to
the effect that the way women
are progressing in politics, I
wouldn't be surprised.
"Brains have no sex."
Or questions about hobbies
none in particular or whether
women could halt a recession
I told them I was no econ
omist. The Chemist
"What do you think of the
chemise?" asked one student.
Answer: "I bought one, but
don't suggest that any of you
girls throw away last year's
clothes yet."
Question: "If you own a
chemise, where is it?"
Answer: "I have it on. . it's
a conservative model."
Then they really got down
to business.
Question: "Are you. mar
ried?" Answer: "No."
Question: "Why not."
Answer: Well, here I parried
and said no one had ever
asked me. But I found myself

asking myself later, "All
right, why not?"
Question: "Is that blonde
hair natura 1?" Answer:
"When I was a girl I was a
tow-head, but you know how
hair darkens as you get old
er. . .Well, if you must know,
it is not natural."
Most probing on what is to
every woman over 21 a tender
subject. Age. And here, all
these years, this reporter has
been asking women about
same. Some have answered
frankly; others have done
what I did, hedge.
Answer: "I'm 29. Have
been for years."

children. A service fee will

ber of rivers, lakes and
streams in southern Oregon,
and because there is an in

sports, with a subsequent in
crease in accidents, the YMCA
believes it is important for
everyone to know how to
swim," according to Gordon

Also on the program today
was a forum on Christian citi
zenship to be presented by
Mrs. K. E. Montgomery, Eu
gene, moderator; Mrs. H.
James Jenkins, Roseburg, and
Mrs. Wayne Stauffer, Eugene.
Two United Church Wom
en from Klamath Falls, Mrs.
Kenneth Lambie and Mrs.
Ross Ragland, spoke on the
migrant in ministry in Ore
gon, a program to which the
Woman's Society contributes
financial support as well as
volunteer workers. Among
the works of the volunteers
for the migrants are the pre
paration of health kits, pre
paration of buildings for their
use, sponsoring of sewing
classes, thrift sales of cloth
ing, religious education
classes and the provision of a
nurse to give the children
health lessons. In the Klam
ath Basin a day nursery is
provided for the mothers who
must work and a new build
ing is bejng planned for Malin
for the coming year.
Mrs. Ragland stated that
the religious work is a vital
part of the program since
many churches would not
welcome the migrant to their
congregation and the migrant
knows it. She also stated that
illiteracy is on the increase
among migrants and plans
are underway to combat this.
Following the afternoon
session, many -of the delegates
went to Ashland, to visit the
new Wesley Foundation on
the campus of Southern Ore
gon college. Student work is
one phase of the work of the
Woman's Society of Christian
Service.
