She has to be well dressed while some guys come in here with flies flying around their heads” “Either mediocre men shouldn't come here at all” she said "or they should make room for mediocre women” Viola has sponsored bills for more municipal day care centers for working women — she uses her own city office as a site to take care of her youngest of four children — and she beat back a "Women eompriae 52 percent of the voters yet they are treated like a minority” she complained “They are not a minority Men are a minority” One setback for Argentine women's chances for government appointments was the 1978 military coup whose leaders doled out public Jobs to their male peers Maria Elena Walsh an author feminist and member of the Council for the Consolidation of Democracy which advises President Raul Alfonsin noted that “the director of the dance school at the Colon Theater was an (air force) brigadier The cultural centers were directed by colonels Military appointees were everywhere” Walsh 58 said the doors have cracked open for women since Alfonsin restored democracy following his landslide election victory in 1MB — but not wide or fast enough Alfonsin recently named Emma V Peres Ferreira a nuclear physicist to head the National Commission of Atomic Energy a multibillion dollar atate organisation in charge of the country's nuclear power and reaearch reactors and related institutions Another breakthrough for women was the appointment of Ma Teresa Flouret as ambassador to India But Alfonsin has yet to fulfill an campaign promise to appoint a woman to his Cabinet He “maybe forgot” Maria Walsh said “I remember the promise and he knows I remember” she said ca Happenings Parasitic diseases world problem Novelist poet to read been waging a decade-lon- g
