Page 2 - The Michigan Daily - Friday, January 23, 1987 Women compete for leadership IN BRIEF Al i (ci;j By GRACE LEE Women corporate executives are either trying too hard to become "one of the guys" or are secluding themselves within their work - either way losing their identity, a prominent author told about 50 people in Hale Auditorium yesterday. Marilyn Loden, a corporate consultant and author of the book Feminine Leadership: How to Succeed in Business Without Being One of the Boys, said females should take an aggressive attitude in their work, but not try to fit in by changing their images. "WOMEN need to be more self-defining and take more risks," she said. "By encouraging them to become themselves, we are able to form a different kind of leadership - and we need it." Loden said that while working as a corporate consultant she found male workers and bosses had difficulty accepting a woman in positions of power, but neither was willing to work to change their attitudes. "They simply ignore the problems women are having in trying to fit into the male- dominated business world," she said. BECAUSE male bosses are apathetic about women executives, many successful women try to become "one of the boys" in order to be accepted. These women experience what Loden would call "The Stages of Accomodation." In the first stage she is the "Fraternity Pledge," in which she must conform to ways of dress and speech. For example, women wear suits not fancy, frilly dresses. They also adapt "sports talk," to be accepted by male peers. "You are really just one of the guys," Loden said. THE second stage, "Making the First String," women simply do whatever the guys like to do outside THIS Is THE UNIVERSITY ACTIVITIES CENTER Compiled from Associated Press reports Loden ... speaks on female leadership of work: gamble, watch sports, or just to be part of the group. If women refuse to accept this, they face a lonely life within their work, or, what Loden calls the "Splendid Isolation."

Some paused between the opponents to assess the situation. About 70 applauded the anti- abortionists, and the same number joined the pro-choice marchers, doubling their original number. At the demonstration's peak, 150 pro-choice supporters - two- thirds of them women - turned to face about 100 anti-abortionists, who were predominently male. The confrontation, despite cold snowy winds, lasted more than an hour. SEVERAL children, bundled against the cold, were brought to bolster the anti-abortionist's cause. One woman held a two-year-old child and a sign reading, "Where would I be if my mommy aborted me?" GATHERING at the opposite end of the Diag, the pro-choice activists began their own rally. "We want full control over our own bodies, our lives, our sexuality," said University employee Judy Levy. "We will not go back to back-alley abortions ever." Cheering, the activists waved "bloody" hangers. gn===== mm-=-- = -=mm=--=- - -- -=- -mm m - - - - -m 1 810 S.

A brief dispatch by the official news agency Xinhua did not say why., President Lu Jiaxi of the academy, who is in his mid-60s, and Vice President Yan Dongsheng, 68, had been relieved of their posts. It said they "were removed" by decision of the National People's Congress - Standing Committee. Lu, a chemist of world stature trained in Britain, had been president of the academy since August 1982. He was replaced by Zhou Guangzhoa, 57, a theoretical physicist and one of the academy's three vice presidents. Economy hits 4-year low WASHINGTON - The U.S. economy, weighted down by a huge: foreign trade deficit, turned in its worst performance in 1986 since the last recession, the government reported yesterday. The Commerce Department said the gross national product, the. broadest measure of economic health, rose 2.5 percent last year, the weakest growth rate since a 2.5 percent decline during the recession year of 1982. Economic growth during the final three months of the year was reported at an annual rate of just 1.7 percent last year, the weakest growth rate since a 2.5 percent decline during the recession year of 1982. Economic growth during the final three months of the year was reported at an annual rate of just 1.7 percent as consumer spending; thea: mainstay of the four-year-old recovery actually fell. W-4 form may be revised WASHINGTON - Treasury Secretary James Baker said yesterday he has asked the Internal Revenue Service to revise the new W-4 tax withholding form, which has drawn complaints from Congress and taxpayers over its complexity. "We're going to take another look at the W-4 and see if we can't come up with a better form by Oct. 1, chiefly because of the major, changes in taxation brought about by the tax law that took effect Jan. 1. Taxpayers who wait until late in the year to complete the form could face penalties if they discover that not nearly enough tax had been withheld. Conjoined baby dies~ ins, surgery to separate twins PHILADELPHIA - A 3-1/2-week-old twin boy died yesterday after six hours of intricate surgery during which doctors separated him from his stronger brother with whom he had shared a heart, liver and intestines. Surgeons worked carefully with tiny medical instruments during the lengthy procedure to save "Baby B" after "Baby A" succumbed. Th infants, together weighing 7-1/2 pounds, were joined from breastbon to abdomen. There was a possibility neither infant would survive the operation, spokeswoman for Children's Hospital said. "To separate the children one had to be sacrificed, but without th surgery neither infant could haver survived much longer," sai spokeswoman Patricia Unser, who announced that the separtion wa 4,completed at2:30 p.m. a ..s EXTRAS 4 Into the phone booth and... Mike MacDonald is a computer programmer, a part-time model and marathon bicyclist. But he'd rather be a nerd. For $65 to $75 an hour, MacDonald becomes Hornby K. Fletcher, nerd who wears taped glasses, a red plaid coat and blue plaid pants, hi shirttail caught in his fly and a piece of toilet paper stuck on his neck as if he had cut himself shaving. "People call me and ask me to go to parties as their friend," saidl MacDonald. "It's a different angle, and people are kind of charmed by the idea. I don't do a skit. I just kind of play people who are." MacDonald, 26, created Homby for Halloween. But after he got laid: off from his computer programming job, he decided the nerd was so much fun he'd like to go into the nerd business. Rent-A-Nerd, which began Jan. 5, has slowly taken off. MacDonald of the Chicago suburb of Oak Park, says he has about a half-dozen jobs,~ lined up, and calls are coming. He's also become a local media hit, doing interview and call-in stints on talk shows. If you see news happen, call 76-DAILY.
