300 participate in East Quad
weekend women's conference

By PAULINE TOOLE
The East Quad Conference on Women
continued Sunday with a flurry of
workshops on pertinent women's
issues, including prostitution,
lesbianism, and the status of minority
women.
The conference, sponsored by a num-
ber of university organizations in-
cluding the Dean's office, the Univer-
sity Activities Center and the Women's
Advocate, provided an opportunity for
people to learn about women's
problems in an informal atmosphere.
SUNDAY'S activities began with a

three-hour workshop on lesbianism
conducted by Bette Skandalis from the
Alice Lloyd Women's Center. Skandalis
and five other women focused on
lesbian issues and the integration of
lesbianism into personal lives.
The conference continued with a
workshop on prostitution conducted by
representatives of the Prostitution
Education Project.
Participants discussed the role of
prostitutes in society and the poltics in-
volved in prostitution.
OPENING A PANEL on minority

women, Trotter House director Beulah
Sanders remarked, "I want to share
what I feel as a woman with a different
orientation. I want all the rights I
deserve as a woman. I also want all my
rights because I was born black."
The informal discussion, geared to
panelist and audience interaction, cen-
tered on the inequalities in the welfare
system and the educational system.
Panelists examined race divisions in
the women's movement and the
pressing need for unity.
Three hundred people attended even-
ts over the course of the weekend. Many
participants said they were pleased the
conference was informal, yet highly in-
formative.

ROWRY CHIDED Allen for voting
last week to kill a proposed CDBG-fun-
ded north side service center in his
ward. "It is my conviction that you
might have done a better job if you
wrote your own script," he told Allen.
''You're a terrible actor."~
Only one person at last night's public
forum spoke against CDBG funding for
the Model Cities program. John Tiffany
told the Council, "Down with welfare!
Down with Model Cities! Down with
socialism! Theft is still theft. Socialism
is nothing but legalized theft, legalized
plunder."
Emma Wheeler, chairmlan of the
Model Cities clinic, took issue with Tif-
fany and told Council that the $775,000
in federal"funds is not the taxpayers'
money. "It's money that we get from
the federal government to do things for
the people."

Spring has officially arrived, but winter isn't about to give up and leave. Though at 3 p.m. yesterday the new season was
fighting hard to lend sunshine to students like sophomore Bob Sonnenbick, only an hour and a half later, winter once
again was victorious, soaking sophomore Saul Glosser and others in cold, dreary showers.

TO CONTROL THE PAST
IS TO CONTROL THE FUTURE
-George Orwell

While most people last evening were eating dinner or
routinely hitting the library, the sun inconspicuously
snuck across the celestial equator on its journey north,
thus marking the official arrival of spring.
In a shy appearance, spring arrived at 6:34 p.m. Ap-
parently in a rush, however, it left most of its belongings
behind. Warm sunshine and cool breezes are missing as
the white and gray remnants of winter continue to loiter.
WHILE THE ;SLUSH and snow still patch the ground,
one student disregarded these cold reminders in favor of
his own special spring celebration. "I broke out my gym
shoes today," said Dan White as his saturated sneakered
feet formed a grayish puddle.
While a large percentage of the illness-ridden Univer-
sity is finally putting one fever behind, they will soon be
faced with another of a very different nature. Spring fever
is in the air, and most are eager to catch its symptoms.
Junior Katie Raftery feels the fever already. "Love is in
the air, regardless of the weather,'' she explained.
WHILE NOW IS a time when hearts invariably turn to
thoughts of love, it is simultaneously the time when mon-
ths turn to cravings for ice-cream. According to Baskin-
Robbins manager, Olga Lotz, business has noticeably
picked up this week.
The teasing phenomenon of extra daylight has already
begun in past weeks. Senior Pharmacy student Tina Wang

appreciates leaving for work at 6:45 a.m. and being
greeted by daylight rather than darkness.
However, she sees the "bonus" hours of brightness in
the afternoon as a problem. "I usually get ready for
studying after dinner, but I can't get myself motivated
now because it's still light out," Wang complained.
THOUGH HARD TO believe, there are still some people
who are saddened by winter's departure. Skiing fanatic
Lisa Mularoni is already "counting down the days till the
coming ski season."
Another student, who wished to remain anonymous,
realized that shedding winter clothes will mean shedding
winter pounds. "I've got to make up for the last seven
months in the next two," she moaned.
If you're anticipating the tardy arrival of spring within
the next few days, don't over-inflate your hopes. Accor-
ding to the Farmer's Almanac, the next few days promise
a "touch of spring, not much." If you seek a more conven-
tional source of information, weather reports reconfirm
this prediction.
So be patient and grateful - in the Southern Hemi-
sphere, where the seasonal situation is reversed, fall is
just underway. Who ever complained about Michigan
weather...

stration," said one Palestinian suppor-
ter.
"We were just dancing to show our
support for Israel when all of a sudden
all these Palestinians started pushing
the circle," said a Zionist supporter.
Many participants asked not to be iden-
tified by name for fear of reper-
cussions.
AN OAS SPOKESMAN said the pur-
pose of the rally was to demonstrate
against the Israeli expansion in
Southern Lebanon which developed last
week as a result of the Palestinian raid
against Israeli citizens.
"We protest the Israeli destruction of
tens of villages and killings of hundreds
of people in Lebanon," said El-Ashhab.
"We support the just struggle of the
Lebanese and Palestinian masses," he
added.
SEVERAL ZIONIST students attem-
pted or organize a debate between
Palestinians and Zionists. The idea was
rejected by many Palestinians who said

the Zionists "wanted to make the
demonstration not continue."
"We support t'he just struggle of the
Lebanese and Palestinian masses," he
added.
SEVERAL ZIONIST students attem-
pted to organize a debate between
Palestinians who said the. Zionists
"wanted to make the demonstration not
continue."
"They are not for debate," said one
Palestinian." They just don't want this
demonstration to proceed," said one
Palestinian.
Some Palestinians indicated,
however, that they would be willing to
debate after the demonstration. No
formal arrangements were .made to
organize a debate.
THE DEMONSTRATORS tried to dif-
ferentiate between their desire for the
destruction of the state of Israel and
their support for the continued existen-
ce of the Jewish people.
A representative of the
Revolutionary Communist Youth

Brigade said the Palestinians support
the "abolishment of the state but not
the people.
"We'd be willing to accept the Jews
orr the basis of equality which means
one vote for each person," he said.
ONE ISRAELI observer claimed
there is no difference between the
Jewish people and the principle of
Zionism.
"Youcan not separate the two con-
cepts. Zionism is the national liberation
struggle of the Jewish people," said
Yosi Hoshen, an Israeli scientist.
One Palestinian claimed he suppor-
ted further attacks inside Israel in or-
der to achieve Palestinian aims. "Tel
Aviv is a military installation. I support
attacks into the heart of Tel Aviv. I
don't give a damn who gets killed
because some people decided to rip off
my country," he said.
Babe Ruth of the Yankees batted in
150 or more runs for three straight
seasons, 1929, 1930 and 1931.
