Fall Course
On Women In
Media Offered
.As the commercial slogan
says, “ you've come a long way,
baby “
Just from what women have
come a long way w ill be explored
via a look at women in literature
and the media in a new Portland
Community College course to be
offered in Beaverton this fall
The course was designed and
w ill he taught by Vicki Heath, a
Sunset High School English
teacher who took a second look
at the literature used in most
high school and college English
classes
“ It occurred to me that much
of the literature we teach is
male-oriented " she said “ It's
written by men. about men The
female characters are seen
through men's eyes "
She cites The Odyssey, Huc­
kleberry Finn. A Farewell to
.Arms and Lord of the Flies as
typical examples of classroom
literature which revolves around
the male character and places
women characters in passive,
background roles
Ms Heath feels that through
the years literature has ster­
eotyped women and contributed
to the assumption that "women
must play certain roles and do
certain things ”
"A re-examination of these
roles should help everybody."
she said adding that she is
hoping some men w ill attend the
class
“ When men begin to see
women as human beings, it w ill
help man and women both. ' she
said ' And when women begin to
explore all the possibilities open
to them, they w ill become more
aware and interesting ”
Ms Heath doesn't care to call
herself a “ libber.” but does
admit to being sympathetic to
many aspects of the movement
She plans to draw comparisons
between literature that she feels
deals with women both fa irly as
well as unfairly The course of
study, she says, w ill include
women's roles politically, sex­
ually. socially and their roles in
the home
“ There are so many more
avenues to explore now .1 just
hope the students w ill begin
thinking about these things.“ she
said
Study materials in the class
which begins September 10. will
include literary works, newspa­
pers. magazines ads. television,
and a m ajor film . "The Pumpkin
Eater "
But the class, which w ill be
held Mondays from 7 to 9 p.m at
Sunset High School. 13840 N W
Cornell Road " w ill mainly be
discussion sessions.” she says.
“ There is great value to be
gained simply from talking ab­
out things “

formation about the course may

lege Communitv Services 244-

Army Pursues Enlistments
.Army recruiters can start
pursuing the non high school
graduate again after a period of
restricting enlistments in that
category in order to build a
higher q u a lity A ll-V olunteer
Army
But the 17 year old non-high
school graduate w ill still be
discouraged from joining up
because the .Army still does not
want the young high school
• dropout.” In fact he* w ill be
encouraged by the recruiter to
stay in school at all costs and
finish his education However,
after the prospect graduates or
turns 18. the recruiter is free to
enlist him
Selectivity has become a nec­
essity to maintain the .Army's
health A few months ago, the
Army Recruiting Command put
a 70-30 ratio on the number of
high school grads versus non-
graduates so that 70 percent of
the young people enlisting per
month had to have a high school
diploma in hand GED General
Education Development > scores
did not qualify an individual for
this group unless state issued
The remaining 30 percent con
sists of those who achieved a
high grade on the Armed Forces
Qualification Test Those who
couldn't pass stood little or no
chance of ever being able to
enter the .Army But now that
has changed
In order for the All-Volunteer
Army to make it. a change in
policy had to be made While the
.Army was satisfied with the high
caliber individual that was join ­
ing. there just weren't enough of
them to fill the manpower re­
quirements needed So it was the
recruiter who was hurting by not
being able to sign up a lot ot
willing prospects just because
they di d r t finish high school
Dues this mean that quality is
going to go down now” Not so.
according to Lieutenant Colonel
James J Brenner. Commanding
Officer for Army Recruiting in
the state of Oregon "O ur mental
category standards are still
going to remain high, but there's
little logi. to assume that just
because ,. man doesn't have a
high school diploma means that
he s a low mentality individual
That just isn't true ."
The Army, as well as the other
services, lias found thal many of
its best soldiers never graduated
from high school They have
skills tha; can he put to good use
in technoMgical areas where a
high school diploma is not the
only answer Many of these
people then become motivated
enough to want to go hack to
school and finish their educa­
tions while m the Arm y and even
pursue technically onented stu­
dies for college credit later on
While the past few months
have prox ided the .Army with a
more educated breed of recruits
than ever before, it also made
them realize that 4 the AU-
\ olunteer Army is to become a
reality it must be w illing to
gamble on the young individual
who for one reason or another
was not motivated in school The
Arm y also realizes its respon­
sibility when it enlists the non
high school graduate It must try
to provide this individual with a
skill that w ill not only make him
productive to the Army but w ill
provide him with the incentive to
want to continue his education
If the Army realizes its re­
sponsibility in that way then
