Show 2 VI The Salt Lake Tribune, Sunday, October 17, 1982 Its time for a fall celebration By Judy B. Roily's Assistant Lifestyle Editor For the past 10 years, fall signaled the annual conference at the University of Utah sponsored by the Women's Resource Center. Not so this fall, according to Shauna Adix, WRC director. The annual fall conference will become a spring event, April 13 to 16, Dr. Adix said. However, the center has planned a celebration Thursday through Sunday, a miniconference to take care of center business. "The decision to put off the conference was a pragmatic one," Dr. Adix said. "Theres construction work going on in tfie Union Building. The conference has drawn large crowds over the years. We learned from our WomanArt-theme- d conference in 1977, when some of the events were that there really is a feeling of connection that comes when we all meet together. Have To Spread "In order to do a conference right now, we would have to spread out and use other buildings. I don't feel that dispersion works as well. For all those who look to the conference for a lift each year, they should not feel abandoned. Were just trying a new format, honoring a friend of Utah women and joining together to celebrate. That friend is Dr. Estelle Ramey, keynote speaker from the 1974 fall conference, professor of physiology and biophysics at Georgetown University Medical School, Washington, D.C., prominent researcher in endocrinology and the person for the center to help those students. That check is framed in Dr. AtJxs office. The original check wac misplaced. Dr. Ramey wrote a second one to the center. One of them is in the frame. The other was the beginning of the student scholarship fund. Dr. Adix said Dr. Ramey gained national notoriety when she debated Dr. Edgar Berman, a member of thp Democratic party advisory group and the late Sen. Hubert Humphreys physician. Dr. Berman said that women were unfit to hold high-levpublic office because the raging hormonal imbalances" brought on by the menstrual cycle and menopause made them unstable. In the debate, Dr. Berman began by telling Dr. Ramey that he really loved women. Dr. Rameys response was, "So did Henry the Eighth." Will Speak Thursday Dr. Ramey will speak Thursday noon in the Union Auditorium. Her speech, Effects of Sex Hormones on Ability to Resist Stress: How to Live Longer, is sponsored by the center and the Associated Students, U. of U. The speech is free and open to the public. That night at 7 in the Union Auditorium, the celebrating begins, Dr. Adix said. A Look at Our Lives Through Drama, Music and the Spoken Word: An Evening Honwill oring Dr. Estelle Ramey include the scholarship presentation with remarks by Dr. Ramey and Dr. Adix. Dr. Addie Fuhriman and Dr. Sherwin Davidson will present $1,000 TA Estelle Rameys name will be placed on scholarships. whose contribution began a scholarship fund several years ago. The center is honoring Dr. Ramey by naming a student scholarship in her honor. "I first met Dr. Ramey when she came to Utah as a conference keynote speaker," Dr. Adix said. "A year later, she was invited back to Utah to speak at Weber State College and Utah State University. I spent some time driving with her to those schools. On the way to the airport when she was going home, she asked what womens issues concerned me. "I told her that I felt for us, at the center, a major concern was how to help those older women coming back to school. I told her money was limited. While I talked, she was rummaging around in her purse and later handed me a check for Heroes should get medal By Bob Swift Knight-Ridde- r Newspapers Where are the heroes of today? Where are the Eleanor Roosevelts and the Charles Lindberghs? Where, indeed, are the Joe DiMag-giothe George Washington Carvers, the Marv Throneberrys? Dispatches from Peking tell us the Chinese dont wait around for larger than life heroes. They make heroes out of common folks, such as Zhao Chune, a working woman in a coal supply station, who spent her spare time changing bedpans in a hospital, delivering coal to the widow Dong, fixing leaky roofs and sewing up threadbare coats for old men. At her request, when she died her ashes were spread at the coal station where she worked. Over here, she might have won a Silver Knight Award, but no more In China, she is lauded by the Communist Party as a genuine s, heroine. Our party is proud to have had a loyal daughter like Zhao Chune! said the Communist Party newspaper. Why cant we grant public hero status to our long-sufferin- g common citizens? Who needs a Joe DiMaggio when we have Sam Abercrombie, a peach fuzz plucker for most of his adult life, who goes home every night and listens to his wife practice the mandolin, applauding after each session. Is there a need for Sergeant York when we have Robert J. Flit, who takes his garbage cans to the curb faithfully and without complaint each Monday and Wednesday evening, despite the fact that the garbage men spill tuna cans on Flits carefully mowed parkway each Tuesday and Thursday morning? Why can't thorp he some public recognition of Mrs. Flora Golightly, an administrative assistant who, after 17 years of wearing foundation The heck garments, declared, with it, let it bounce, and has never worn a girdle again, even though her husband makes pointed remarks each time she wears a dress with horizontal stripes? I would like to strike medals for some other unsung heroes, such as: Frederick Wurly," a grommet-snappe-r at the Acme Tent and Striped Awning Works, who remains cheerful and on the job, although the manager of the firm has greeted him every morning for five years with Hows it going, Thomas? Charles Smorgrensen, who inwardly rages each morning when he reads the editorials in his newspaper, but neither writes letters of protest to the editor nor canc'els his subscription He has, however, discovered that if he folds the editorial pages neatly in half, they just fit the bottom of the kitty-litte- r pan to your desire to own an velvet suit little luxury to your evenings and holidays Ours is from Cos Cob and comes in black, brown or burgundy.
