The Michigan Daily-Sunday, November 20, 1977-Page 3 )NVENES: WOMEN'S CONFERENCE C( L-,F A. 11 T M-j.L Ili" K-o 0 " iYOUJ SEE NES KkTM CALL 6 DN~y Jordan makes plea for s No business like monkey business Apparently not satisfied with such mundane goings-on as sail-' ing his motorcycle over the Grand Canyon or a pool of sharks, Evel Knievel is moving onward - and upward. The daredevil says he's planning to leap out of a plane at 40,000 feet and plunge parachute- less into a haystack. Knievel claims he has been offered $20 million by unnamed backers to pull the stunt in Las Vegas next July 4. (Continued from Page 1) not here. Not making a difference is a cost we cannot afford." Mrs. Carter, who has carried Presi- dent Carter's human rights campaign to South America, said the goal of U.S. womenis "equal participation." THERE HAVE BEEN and will be "a lot of disagreements and conflicts, sh*' said. "But I agree with my daughter-in law Judy that we must guard agains obscuring valid issues with defensive- ness and anger." Mrs. Ford said women "must keep focused on our goals - in business, edu- cation, employment, politics or in the home." She said women can have different interests, "but we shouldn't be dismay- ed by the clash of opinions and ideas." MRS. JOHNSON said, "I once thought the women's movement belonged more to my daughters than to me, but I have come to know that it belongs to women of all ages." Dr. Gloria Scott, president of the Na- tional Girl Scouts, opened the confer- ence by calling it "the most significant and far-reaching event in this century .. We are in passage and our fates are bound together." But it was Jordan who brought down the house with descriptions of the plight of women. Her fiery brand of Southern straight-talk inspired delegates to the Democratic National Convention last year, when she became the first black woman ever to keynote the nominating convention of a major U.S. political party.. "HUMAN RIGHTS apply equally to Soviet dissidents, Chilean peasants and American women," she said. "When our rights are limited ... when our rights are violated, we need a do- mestic human rights program. This conference could be the beginning of such an. effort," said the Texas Demo- crat. She said delegates should not be brainwashed by those who predict, .chaos. "Tell them they lie." FORMER REP. BELLA Abzug (D- N.Y.) told the delegates that women are speaking for themselves these days. "And I believe the whole nation will have to listen to what we say," said Ab- zug, who chairs the federal commission sponsoring the conference. "After this weekend, the whole nation will know that the women's movement is not any one organization or set of ideas or particular lifestyle," she said. "It is millions of women deciding indi- vidually and together that we are determined to move history forward." LIZ CARPENTER, former press sec- retary to Mrs. Johnson who is a mem- ber of the women's commission, spoke to the diversity of the women repre- sented at the conference. lidarty "Who are 'we the people' gathered here in Houston? We are the female people left out in Philadelphia,' " sie said. "And the irony - the real irony -- is that there would have been no Ameri- ca without us. So we are here to stake our claim on its past and its future.' Carpenter said women have seen their own dreams shattered and short- changed, however, by "insecure men and women fearful of a world of equil- ity." "Are we so dangerous? So alien to this land we have founded? Are we so threatening? So 'forward' and 'brash' and 'pushy' to ask for fairness?' " she asked. The women roared back a resounding "No.' But before he starts mapping out his jump, Knievel has some other business to attend to. First, he said he's going to customize his body. He's hav- ing his spleen removed, an op- eration he figures will help les- sen his chances of getting kill- ed, and he's also having a "homing device" implanted in his chest to help guide him to the haystack. Before the jump, however, Evel will have to ser- ve out a 60-day jail term for beating a TV executive with a baseball batr recently. They don 't call him Evel, for noth- ing. PRESTON STURGES' 1942 SULLIVAN'S TRAVELS Preston Sturges', a brilliant screenwriter-turned-director and his meteoric films were the consolation of comedy lovers in the '40's. This one is probably his most inventive. A successful movie director (of hits like "ANTS IN THEIR PANTS OF 1931") wants to tackle a serious subject and takes to the roads of depression America to do research. His troubles are funnier than the'films he makes. Starring JOEL MC CREA and VERONICA CARE. I :' r ' .. 2' _ .. . ,: S- ................. ....

David Noyes Powers, a defensive back for Princeton, was asked if he would like to try. "I would like to play both ways," Powers replied. "But I'm not sure I ould. Not so much from the physical stamina point of view but football is so sophisticated, I'm not sure I could master two positions. On our team the offense and defense watch films of games separately, meet apart at half- time, and sit apart. They are really two separate teams. College football has be- come too sophisticated."
