Was anybody tricked by the fanfare at the start of die year? Can anyone list the great leaps forward we were promised? Yes there was a rally in the closing months with the election but that would be 1993’s story Hillary Clinton Diane Ftinstein Carol Barbara Boxer — they would begin to make a mark Moseley-Brau- n this year in 1993 Year of die Woman Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the Supreme Court with Sandra Day O’Connor — and also with I might add Year of the Woman addition Clarence Thomas Janet Reno at the Justice Department Donna ShalaU at Health and Human Services A woman as Environmental Protection Agency chief a woman at die head of the Department of Energy a USU administrator as first woman president of Western Washington University — small steps for each of them giant steps for humankind (not mankind) And on a more local level you know what? Maybe perhaps just possibly we might see women mayors in Logan River Heights and Hynun The primary voting in Logan last week showed women sure are shining brightly in 1993 Congratulations should go out to all the candidates men and women I’m not picking anyone for you so leave that idea alone in all three But it is exciting to note that the top three Is their about women races were That candidacy nothing says Logan Daria Clark a better pick for the mayor’s post than Jerry Goodwin? That’s up to you You make the calL I didn’t vote for either one of them in the primary but I will cast a ballot for a mayor in the general election I certainly won’t pick Clark over Goodwin simply because she is a woman but I won’t discount her from die running because of her gender either And I won’t pick Goodwin simply because he’s a man fact came to my ears during the A disturbing rumorthird-han- d primary Some people in some certain political party were not going to support Clark because well she’s a good candidate but “Logan’s just not ready for a woman mayor’’ It’s not to it? And why not? Women have proven themselves — at the very least as competent entirely competent on city councils as their male counterparts Women A woman has proven herself more than competent on the county council Several women lead the way on boards of education in this valley Why die ceiling for the Logan mayor 's job? For that matter why no women superintendents no female county executives? Careful voters wiilpick the candidate they feel will do the best job — I’m n for them Goodwin-Clar-k not going to tell you which ones to pick (I always pick the loans I will ask anyway!) But I will ask you to put on your that you lode at a candidate's platform not their hairstyle or X chromosomes The candidates deserve better than that We deserve better than that You don't have to use the ballot box to make 1993 the Year of the Woman But don’t let it get in your way either vote-gette- Pearce-Martinda- rs 6 ALTERNATIVE CINEMA By Patrick Williams The Alternative Cinema at Utah State University has already opened its new season but the remainder of the schedule contains some of the classic works of film 8 LOOKING BACK By AJ Simmonds The course of Cache Valley history was dramatically altered by a war that never really reached within its confines Brown-Larse- le gender-blinde- rs Tim Vitale Cache editor 10 THE MINI PAGE By Betty Debnam Two pages especially for children This week: Cooking Up Good Math: Ideas For Successful Math Recipes 12 ’WILDEST DESOLATION By Nancy Bodily A raft dip through Utah's Desolation Canyon of the Green River to be a great excuse to put all the world’s jwyej ' ”“4 'h vv L- -jt Vc v v--v v v -- - v v ' awav '' vJ vr ON THE COV£R: Desotaor) Canyon Js ono PdPnld strbttfiea of WOddtr Tbwar pyjfe Hula n nrs Wtf ' M 1 |
