4 Page 2- The Michigan Daily - Saturday, March 30, 1985 Inquiring Photographer by Matt Petrie N BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press and United Press International reports Question: How do you feel about ads in which women are exploited? Barry Horivitz, LSA sophomore: People don't realize that they carry sexist and racist attitudes around every day and respond to them automatically. We have to make ourselves aware of our responses and work to change them. Paul Devlin, LSA senior: I think it's a problem, a terrible thing, but there is a reason why they are doing it, because it works. In order for it to stop, we have to start letting adver- tisers know that ads like that are going to' stop us from buying the product instead of encouraging us to buy it. Elizabeth Hume, LSA sophomore: It's horrible, but it's part of our culture. It's typical of the society we live in. Eric Holt, Engineering' freshman: I love it. I don't think it's morally correct, but I enjoy reading the ads. William Noteboom, Engineering sophomore: One could always say that the woman is being exploited, but on the other hand she knows exactly what she is doing. The woman always has the option of not doing the ad. Cindy Davis, LSA freshman: 'Theyare exploited the same way as men in ads. Men are in the same type ads as women and used for the same pur- pose: attracting members of the opposite sex to a product. Blanchard vows to help Mazda LANSING - Gov. James Blanchard yesterday vowed the state will take steps to make up for a shortfall in expected federal financing of Mazda Motor Co.'s planned Flat Rock plant. The governor described as "A minor roadblock" a decision Thursday by Samuel Pierce Jr., secretary of Housing and Urban Development, to make the Japanese automaker eligible for only $2.5 million of a minimum $6.5 million interest-free economic development loan. "The financing piece is solved, period," he said. Precise details were not yet available, however. Blanchard also said he is confident that labor negotiations with southeast Michigan's building trade contractors will be solved. The parties resumed negotiations in the governor's Detroit office yester-. day afternoon, Blanchard said. W. Germany backs 'star wars' DALLAS - Senior West German officials, insisting on full partnership with the Reagan administration on "Star Wars," said yesterday they sup- port the U.S. space research program but that top priority should be put on reaching an agreement with the Soviet Union to sharply reduce offensive nuclear weapons. In fact, if the Strategic Defense Initiative forces the Soviets into an arms limitation accord "the option of completely dispensing with defense systems is open," said Horst Teltschik, national security advisor to Chancellor Helmut Kohl. He urged the Reagan administration not to let differences over the Strategic Defense Initiative weaken the unity of the North Altantic Treaty Organization and said no program should slow down "a dialogue with East and West in all domains." Much of the attention at the start of the three-day conference centered on President Reagan's search for a way to shield th'United States and its allies from attacking Soviet missiles. Economic indicators up WASHINGTON-The government's main economic forecasting gauge posts a strong gain in February, despite weather-related slow downs, prom- pting the Reagan administration and private economists to predict a rebound in economic activity in coming months. The Index of"Leading Indicators rose 0.7 percent last month following an even stronger 1.5 percent increase in January, the Commerce Department said yesterday. The index, composed of a dozen forward-looking business statistics, had been signaling weaker activity since lastJune, when it dropped 0.9 percent, breaking a string, of 21 consecutive increases. It suffered three more declines since then, including a 0.5 percent December drop. However, the January gain, the strongest in 17 months, and the February increase have given new encouragement to those who believe the recovery is about to enter another period of strong growth. The strength in the leading index stood in contrast to the government's estimate last week that the economy is growing at a sluggish rate of 2.1 per- cent during the first three months of the year. Duarte vies for voter support SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador - The president's job is not at stake in tomorrow's elecion, but Jose Napoleon Duarte is running hard in an effort to change the balance in a legislature that has blocked or hamstrung many of his policies. In continuing pre-election violence, gunmen yesterday killed a woman and wounded "several" other passengers when they opened fire on a bus near El Triunfo, 74 miles east of the capital, civilian and military sources said. The military sources said they believed leftist guerrillas seeking to enforce their ban on traffic before the balloting were responsible. The sources asked not to be identified for security reasons. The rebels earlier issued a warning telling drivers to stay off the country's highways as of Thursday. They did not say how long their ban would remain if effect, but they have used the tactic frequently as a means of disrupting the economy. Voters will choose a 60-member National Assembly and 262 mayors. Duar- te's moderate Christian Democrats are given little chance of picking up the seven seats needed for a majority in the assembly, but he wants at least to keep the rightist bloc from gaining enough strength to override his veto. Police patrol Khartoum streets KHARTOUM, Sudan - Police and soldiers patrolled the deserted streets of Khartoum and guarded the U.S. Embassy yesterday in the wake of three days of anti-government and anti-American rioting sparked by price in- creases. "It is a normal Friday here," one resident of the Sudanese capital said in reference to the Moslem holy day during which shops and businesses are closed. Sudan's union leaders appealed to people to return to work Sunday and "guard their property and that of their employers" against saboteurs, the official Sudan news agency reported. Police and army units remained on duty guarding the U.S. Embassy in downtown Khartoum, which has been a target of the demonstrators because of stringent economic measures favored by the U.S. The security'force also patrolled other parts of the capital. 1 4 A A I Eileen Chick, School of Music sophomore: I feel.that sexist exploitation is a problem. However, I tend to notice the use of men in ads more than women. I feel that physical at- tractiveness should not be used in such a manipulative way. Aubrey Lynch, LSA fresh- man: I don't think women should put up with it. It makes it very hard for them because every woman can't be like women in ads. It seems like advertisers have to use beautiful women to sell their products. It also makes it hard for men because to be an all- American man you have to have women like the ones in Wendy Hinman, LSA junior: Ads show women as sub- missive. It reinforces a lot of society's confused attitudes about the status of women. It's hard to take a woman seriously in the business place when you continually see them exploited in a picture or ad. It defeats attempts to overcome these old attitudes. Judy Sheridan, LSA senior: On a superficial level it's fun- ny, but when you think about the methods of advertising - it's scary that something like that really sells a product. I the ads.

Shapiro said education is important in making a dual career marriage work. "Getting education is investing in yourself...The more education a young woman can get, the more opportunities and the more doors she leaves open for a viable career." Additionally, Levin feels that couples must value each other. "You have to buy into each other's value systems,' believe in one another. If you don't, you have a real recipe for disaster." Finally, the whole panel agreed that luck and good fortune play a major role. "We were very lucky. We couldn't have done it without each other," Losh insisted.
