The Michigan Daily-Tuesday, October 27, 1981-Page 5 Grant to attractwomen to science The Department of Educational Resources at The University School of Dentistry has been awarded a two-year grant for producing eight educational videotapes designed to attract young women to careers in science. Funds of $142,600 for the first year of the project have been received from the Women's Educational Equity Act Program, U.S. Department of Education. The "Women in Science Videotape Series" aims to encourage junior high, senior high, and college age women who are talented in mathematics or science to elect courses or curricula in preparation for possible careers in science-related fields. Seven videotapes will feature four women as role models in dentistry, chemistry, geology, physical science, engineering, computer science and biomedicine. These areas, currently underrepresented by women, have been identified as offering good career opportunities. The four role models in each videotape will vary in personal and professional life style, age, ethnic background,-and occupation within the field. THE EIGHTH videotape will portray the dilemma of a high school age woman who is talented and interested in math and science but is discouraged from taking science-related courses by peers, counselors, teachers, and paren- ts. The tapes will be used in science career workshops and counseling sessions in high schools and colleges across the country. After viewing a videotape, participants will receive a brochure which describes . the academic preparation required for the featured field plus an overview of the occupations and opportunities in science. Project director is Christine Black, senior research associate at the School of Dentistry, with Dr. David Starts, chairman of the Department of Educational Resources, serving as prin- cipal investigator. Also participating in the project is Dr. Barbara Sloat, coor- dinator of the Women in Science Program at the Center for Continuing Education of Women. The Advisory committee for the videotape series is composed of U-M women faculty from various scientific disciplines. Slain convict linked to Brinks car heist Enjoy your 'U' Life Better -Join The Daily NEW YORK (AP) - Aconvict slain in a gunbattle with police was linked yesterday to the earlier $1.6 million Brink's heist in which members of the Weather Underground allegedly killed two policemen. and a guard. Police sources said a .38-caliber slug found in the pocket of the convict, Sam Smith, came from the gun of Nyack Police Sgt. Edward O'Grady Jr., one of those killed last Tuesday. SMITH WAS killed and Nathaniel Burns, a former Black Panther, was arrested after Friday's shootout. Both men were wearing bulletproof vests and Smith had a bandaged chest wound consistent with having a slug stopped by his vest. , O'Grady, another police officer and a Brink's guard were killed last Tuesday during the ambush of a Brink's ar- mored car and subsequent shootout in, suburban Nyack that led to the arrest of Weather Underground radicals Katherine Boudin and Judith Clark and two others.

SMITH AND BURNS were spotted in the borough of Queens last Friday in a car with a license plate matching one seen on a car connected by police to the Brink's case.- The ballistics results came as a grand jury sitting in a Queens courthouse began hearing evidence stemming from the shootout involving Burns and Smith. Extra heavy security was in place at the courthouse. Authorities were especially concerned about security because schematic diagrams of the Queens court buildings were among the materials confiscated in 10 raids in the metropolitan area since the Brink's job and the arrest of four, including Boudin. SMITH'S POLICE record included charges of attempted murder and rob- bery. He was imprisoned in 1971 for an armed robbery in which he shot and wounded two officers but jumped parole two years later. But police said Smith had no known connections with any radical or terrorist group. 769-1300 - - $2 TO 600 PM ROBERT DE NIRO ROBERT DUVALL $1- ( Tues.

The confusion in defining the phobia lies in the actual cause of the patient's fear. For example, two persons may both have an irrational fear of a large shop- ping mall. But the root of each of their fears may be totally different; one may fear the crowds and the other fear the ctual place-its openness, being far away from exits, or being away from home. IN THE treatment of phobias, it is helpful not to label the patient's phobia too readily. Often, phobias occur in clusters or overlap with other phobias. There are no absolutes in phobia treat- ment or study. Greg (not his real name), a recent SA graduate, first learned about' the phobia clinic in a Michigan Daily ar- ticle on agoraphobia last year. He is ow working to overcome his phobia, hich involves anxiety and is sparked by his anticipation of the actual event, a panic attack. Greg, who is considered a possible agoraphobic, said, "A panic attack would happen out of the blue. Once I was at a restaurant with someone, became very nervous and ac- tually got sick." Greg's fear restricted him from restaurants, from traveling and cializing. He didn't understand what was the matter with himself, he was frightened and ashamed. He faced his problem alone and didn't tell family or friends. A THERAPIST at the phobia clinic, Kathleen Peoples, carried out Greg's program. They worked together and concentrated on areas Greg had the most trouble with: Large stores, eating in puIllic places and driving. Greg said his treatment has been very helpful. "It helps to have a coach hen you are unsure of yourself. You need an objective person to draw out the specifics of your program and pace you." Greg said he is concerned with the treatment of phobias by the media. Un- til recently, little information has been given the public on the subject of phobias and mainly the coverage has been in woemp's magazines. MOST KNOWN phobics are women, a condition Greg believes may be brought on by social roles of men and women. , Social conditioning expects men to deal with the problems alone and fear isn't acceptable. Greg said that just as many men suffer from phobias. as women, but men . are ashamed to admit they are afraid. "Panic is a dread word among males," he said. I hid my problem N because I was afraid of what people would think" Greg also said magazines directed to a male audience are not supportive of phobics, "Playboy doesn't write about phobias or anxieties," Greg said. "It doesn't fit in with its macho image." Further education on phobias and anxieties, may help people with fears will realize there is nothing to be ashamed of and that help is available, Greg said. "Up until recently, I had.no idea that this was something other people had. I thought I was alone" THIS FRIDAY ONLYI At the Michigan Theatre FRANK ZAPPA'S 3:00, 6:00, 9:00, 12:00 Midnight Join News Staff J The next time you pick up your car keys and head for the door, ask 'yourself whether a phone call could save you the trip-and the wasted gasoline.
