AAUW Study ge high-technolo- gy In Ordinary Life Rich teaches at Stanford University and had her first volume of poetry accepted by the Yale Series of Younger Poets in 195 1 . Coles said the series was created for everyone who is interested in studying poetry in an environment which is not threatening. She said most people think that poetry is too difficult to understand and that it is necessary to be a scholar or a university student to be involved in poetry. For this reason, the poetry series will be held in a community environment rather than at a university or school. Participants will be able to listen to each of the four poets on audio tapes, hear how the poetry comes out of their life, how they live as ordinary people and why they write poetry, said Coles. She said the Poets in Person series is already sold out and that there is a waiting list of 40 to 50 people. Because of this overwhelming response," which Coles said is an indication that people want to understand poetry, we mightdoitagain in summer or in fall. Shows Women Fall Behind WASHINGTON (CPS) From the first grade through college, girls and young women face ongoing gender bias in school, ranging from sexual harassment to lack of attention from teachers, says a study released by the American Association of University Women (AAUW). The study was presented Feb. 12 to major education organizations, including the National School Boards Association and the National Education Association. While most of us are painfully aware of the crisis in American education, few understand or acknowledge the inequities that occur daily in classrooms across the country, said Alice McKee, president of the AAUW Educational Foundation, in an summary of the study. Although girls and boys enter school roughly equal in ability, in the space of 12 years girls fall behind in predictable areas. The study charges that girls get less attention, face biased tests and are at a world disadvantage in a because they are discouraged from studying science and mathematics. Research indicates that texhers from the preschool level and beyond tend to choose classroom xtivities that appeal to boys rather than girls. Construction of the glass ceiling begins not in the executive suite but in the classroom, McKee said. 11-pa- THE DANCE CENTRE He has published several scientific papers on biological issues. Next week, part four of the IABC Conference Series will cover Communication Planning, Styles and Trends with Dave Porter, publicity director for the Utah Travel Council; Dale Zabriskie, president of Zabriskie and Associates public relations firm and Leigh von der Esch, executive director of the Utah Film Commission. The report also says that women with five or more years of college, working full time, make only 69 cents for every dollar earned by men with an equal number of years in education. However, for women who have earned eight or more math cred-it- s in college, the difference is considerably less. According to Lynn Burbidge, associate director, the Wellesley Center for Research on Women and an author of the study, 14 people spent a year and a half researching journals, government papers and documents pertaining to the education of women. It wasnt our goal to attack anybody, just to present what the literature says, Burbidge said. The study acknowledges that some progress has been made to promote equality in education, but not enough. A list of 40 recommendations includes a suggestion that texhers, administrators and counselors be evaluated on the degree to which and multicthey promote gender-equitabultural education. le Another suggests that teacher training courses not perpetuate assumptions about the superiority of traits and activities traditionally ascribed to males in our society. The AAUW suggests that texhers need to work to help girls develop a positive and learn to pay closer attention to their needs. self-imag- e, Tuesday, April 14, 1992-Forum-P- age If |
