Black feminist calls for raising
consciousness on women s rights


By BETH ROSENBERG
To eliminate the bra-burning, man-
hating feminist stereotype, women
must spend more time raising
consciousness levels, according to
black feminist Brenda Daniels-
Eichelberger.
Speaker to a crowd of over 65 people
Wednesday night at Alice Lloyd, the
founder and director of the National
Alliance of Black Feminists said the
women's movement needs more money
to educate people to support its cause.

as a result of growth toward human
rights.
Additionally, women had access to
more reproductive freedom because of
the pill, and therefore had less
economic dependence on men,
according to Daniels-Eichelberger.
"BECAUSE OF THE development of
the pill, men no longer could keep
women barefoot and pregnant," she
said. Daniels-Eichelberger is a co-
founder of the Chicago Council on

Let's call it quits
"Let's call it quits" is not the motto of the many students unhappy
with their mid-term scores, but rather a film shown yesterday in the
Dental school as part of the American Cancer Societys one day
"smoke-out"-a campaign to stop smoking on November 16. Slogans
such as "Kiss me, I Don't Smoke" and "Smoking Stinks" appeared on
stickers and posters distributed yesterday, in addition to 4000 pledge
cards, many of which were passed out by Sigma Delta Tau sorority on
the Diag.Last year, smokeout statistics revealed that eight out of ten
smokers had heard of the campaign, and three had stopped or reduced
smoking for the day. Sandy Eidswick of the Washtenaw County
cancer Society unit said she anticipates the results will equal those_
from last year.

Take Ten
While on Nov. 16, 1968 students in many divisions of the University
were pressing their faculty for liberalized programs and
requirements, graduate students in comparative literature were doing
just the reverse. They pushed for a new comparative literature
program and, at a meeting with faculty representatives, major
changes were agreed upon. The most significant revision was a
reduction in the number of preliminary examinations required for the
doctoral program.

Leaders named, King dethroned
Ann Landers, Katherine Graham, Betty Ford, and Rosalynn Carter
were the top four vote getters in the.fourth annual World Almanac's
"25 Most Influential Women in America" list. The roster of women
"who, either behind the scenes or in the public eye, influence thoughts
and events in America," includes Bella Abzug, Erma Bombeck, Helen
Gurney Brown, and Anita Bryant. Also receiving honors were Jane
Fonda, Betty Friedan, Patricia Roberts Harris, Barbara Jordan,
Coretta Scott King, Juanita Kreps, Maggie Kuhn, Virginia Johnson
Masters, the late Margaret Mead, Mary Tyler Moore, Jacqueline
Kennedy Onassis, Sylvia Porter, Phyllis Schlafly, Gloria Steinem,
Helen Thomas, Abigale Van Buren, and Barbara Walters. One
conspicuous absence was Billie Jean King, who after being named to
the fist since its inception, was dethroned. Regardless of rumors,

are equal between blacks and women,
then the decsion depends on what the
job is," she stated.
Buddy systems are involved in many
employment decisions, and when
companies interview women or blacks,
they often may already have made
their decision and are conducting a
token interview.
"EVEN THE FEW token women
hired may find themselves out of the
decision-making picture, because a lot
of deals are made on the golf course
where women generally aren't
permitter," the feminist said.
Daniels-Eichelberger added that
many men have been supportive of the
movement and that "a man of quality is
not threatened by women of equality."
Feminists, according to her, believe
in social and economic equality of the
sexes. She added that she does not
approve of sex objects such as the
Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders, but she
does respect the cheerleader's right to
earn a living however they see fit.
"Not many women are affected by
the cheerleaders. They affect the
stereotype of women, but they are not
high up on the totem pole when
attacking society's ills," Daniels-
Eichelberger stated.

ONE EFFECTIVE fund-raising
method is an economic boycott which,
according to Daniels-Eichelerger, can
only work if enough support is
gathered. Examples include not
patronizing businesses which invest in
South Africa, and asking companies
for funds to finance women's
organizations.
"We can go into businesses like
Kotex, Modess, or cosmetic companies
for money. If they don't donate, then we
won't buy the product. However, we
have to have enough support to be
effective," she said.
"These companies should contribute
to organizations because they have the
money," the feminist commented.
"WEallth should be more equally
distributed."

She also cited Betty Friedan's "The

factors because they influence women
to stop "living through their husbands
