Wondering what it would have been like if Margaret Mead had been in the White House, Steinem added that she certainly would not have 10 prove her masculinity. At one point, Steinem almost entered into a battle with Dr. Edgar Berman who surprised her by rising out of the audience and saying that he was being misquoted. She went on to say that Berman had once queried, ""What would happen if we had a menopausal woman in the White House during the Bay of l'igs?"" Steinem issued her reply today, ""We had a non-menopausal man in there and we still didn't do too good."" Coalition of ""out-groups"" Steinem urged the need for a ""coalition of all of us as out-groups to humanize the country and to turn it around,"" as she said that, ""we are on the edge of a whole new era of humanism."" Mikulski said there needs to be someone in the U.S. Senate with a sense of advocacy, a sense of urgency, a sense of the feminist viewpoint and a sense of the populist viewpoint. Citing her fear that the Republicans are going to turn the people against each other to keep the economic power in the hands of a few. Economy was the subject of much of Mikulski's lecture, as she cited the need for a windfall tax on the oil interests, taxation of the foreign subsideries of the American companies, tax reform, and refunding social security. ""In other words,"" she said, ""lax the rich and put it into the stagnating economy."" An-nouncing her opponents pledge to cut the fat out of the Federal budget, the Democratic candidate mentioned her intention ""to cut the defense budget and Put the money into social programs."" Ilefense budget=98 billion dollars Figures were cited by Mikulski to prove her recommendation to cut the defense budget. According to figures by Joseph Duffy, the current defense budget is 98 billion dollars, 13 billion more than at the height of the VietNam war. That increase is more money than what was alloted to the total education budget. Other figures include: 1- the funds given to the Basic Opportunity Grants Program for one year equal the funds for one Trident Submarine, 2- funds going into Thailand for one year equal the entire amount of student loans ed by Karen Wolfe Pas 'in.

Murphy, Director of Instructional Services, said, ""We want to attract a greater number of women and other minority people at TSC. Broad scope advertising in journals that would most likely reach minority candidates is being used."" ""Studying student life on campus and abserving employment procedures on campus are the objectives of the com-mittee at this time,"" remarked Dr. hower. She admitted that the Af-firmative Action is responsible for the plan and its implementation on campus. Four basic laws All institutions must comply with four basic laws to implement the Af-firmative Action plan: Civil Rights Act of 1964; Equal Pay Acts of 1963; Education Amendment of 1972; Executive Order 11246 as amended.

Photo by Buddy Behrey Funds subtracted By Bryan Harness SGA Vice-president David Nevins announced at the meeting of the SGA senate Tuesday, that this year's Homecoming concert had been cancelled. Ile expressed hope that a concert would IW held at a later date, perhaps in November or December. Negotiations with Seals and Crofts, the proposed Homecoming group, fell through when it was discovered that the group would need 300 percent more electrical power. Funds subtracted Treasurer Rudy Forti then an-nounced that all dificit funds for the last fiscal year would be subtracted from the current budgets of those organizations which had overspent themselves. The subtracted funds will be impounded in he general treactury, Forti said that the impoundents may be reviewed in a couple of weeks. In reviewing the funds, Forti said that Senate should consider whether the overspending was the fault of these organizations: Black Student Union, class of 1975, and Talisman. Francis Clay argued that he didn't think Forti should impound the money without Senate's approval, since no policy had peen set up along those lines. SGA fault Clay said it was just as much the fault of the SGA as it was the individual organization that funds were overspent. Forti countered, however, in saying that there was a percedent for organizations to absorb past over-expenditures in their new budgets. The Senate then referred two bills to the Senate appropriations committee. The bills, if passed, would allocate $1,818.25 to the BSU and another $1,075 to the Veterans Club. "
