Nugent 209 University of Arizona Tucson 85721 (602) 626-4729 By Linda Ferguson Women with power in Utah today may not be elected officials, but are individuals who have had this power thrust upon them, panel members said in a discussion Thursday night about women in twentieth century Utah politics. Panel members were Dr. Gene A. Sessions, WSC history professor; Eloise McQuown, president of the Utah Women's Political Caucus, and Linda Sillito, published poet and writer. The discussion was sponsored by the Utah Women's History Association, Utah Endowment for the Humanities, and Special Collections of Stewart Library. Sessions, serving mostly as moderator for the panel, said, "politics implies power, with the ability or inability to obtain rights, cause or prevent change." He quoted Barbara Williams from her book "Breakthrough: Women in Politics" as saying women have to be more equal than men to get into office, and once they are in, have to constantly prove themselves. In reply to the question of who has the power among women in this state, Sillito said, based on her experience with the Inter national Women's Year (IWY) conference in 1977, "Barbara Smith (Relief Society President) drew the most followers." She listed Georgia Peterson, a conservative leader, as second most influential. McQuown listed female leaders with power as those in charge of community-based organizations, such as the League of Women Voters; public office holders, such as Genievive Atwood, Beverly White and Francis Farley; church leaders, such as Smith; and wives of influential men, such as Lucy Beth Ramp-ton.Sessions then asked if power in Utah for women was a casual force; one that effects or prevents change. Sillito said the Utah Association of Women seems to mostly prevent legislation, as a conservative, stabilizing force. "They keep things from being done, rather than work for specific legislation." McQuown called the Association of Women "anti everything." She said the two occasions when Utah women actively mobilized around an issue were during early suffrage efforts and the IWY conference. The Mormon Church urged" participation each time. Sillito said she believes the state's women are in a "polarizef position" today. "Voices speak above and below ground, but few on the surface. The statesifuation has come around full circle since IWY." McQuown said women do not speak as a unified voice, but as individuals with different points of view. Society, however, wants women candidates as leaders of women, who speak for women. Discussing the next five years in Utah, McQuown said there are many different camps, with individual agendas. "History won't reverse itself; we've made too many in-roads." "Women will have more education and pursue other things." Sillito said. "The Mormon community will still be a strong conservative political force. There will be many women in many places. We will move by inches but not by miles." Sessions tended to be pessimistic about the future of women's power in Utah. "The power blocks will strengthen anf there will be retrenchment in power groups."

Mecham, dean of admissions and records, said that in order to provide the WSC computer center with the necessary information, the registration office has revised the "change of address" card made available to students at registration time and throughout the quarter. Although the card allows changing of the permanent address as well as the mailing address, only resident students should change their permanent home address. Guidelines under which resident students may change the permanent home address are shown on the reverse side of the card. Non-resident students may change their mailing address by use of the new card. If they wish to change their permanent home address it must be handled through the completion of an "application for residency status" form available in the office of the dean of admissions and records. Mecham encouraged students to go through the change of address procedure when necessary because the addresses are used by many offices to mail out various kinds of information. He said it takes from two to 10 days to complete a change of address. J? CAMPTTS 4 33.
