Show Panel Gives Role Of 'Weaker Sex' Women who have had the opportunity op-portunity to enjoy higher education edu-cation are the least willing to go out and work for a living if the situation demands it, concluded con-cluded a 'Women's Week" panel which met Monday at noon in the Union Ballroom to discuss the female's role in education. VIRGINIA P. FROBES, University Uni-versity dean of women; Esther Landa, candidate for the Utah Senate; Margo Walters, member of this year's Olympic ski team; and Jan 'Sommerville, national executive secretary of the Associated Asso-ciated Women Students, were the participants. Mrs. Landa, in discussing the educated woman's willingness to accept employment, cited over five million women as head of their households and by necessity neces-sity their family's only bread winner. But aside from these women there is a large portion of the American female population popula-tion who work at a career by choice. MISS SOMMERVILLE commented com-mented that she felt a woman need not join the ranks of professionalism pro-fessionalism in the career world just for the sake of competing with the male. However, said Miss Sommerville, she does have a responsibility, even what might be called the right and the thrill to contribute a skilled labor to her country's employment force. In answer to a question of whether or not a woman should continue to work at a job wherein where-in she makes more money than her husband, Miss Walters said it depended on the size of the male ego. A man must choose between having his income or his ego fed. |
