F minist issues, treated a. trivia in I,he '60's are factors in the political context of the '70' . The E.

While we celebrate this Sllccess, we w tl with its impIi ations. n organization that has served to educate the public must re­orient itself when the lesson is I amed. We are n fac d with the larger, more difficult task of moving institutions fTom their ho·hum r cogniti n of justice of our concerns 1,0 actual acti n to change their socia.! structu res and arr ngem n . We must cajol , persuade, coerce and even nag policy m kers, bUreaucratic administrators, public officia.ls, political power broket and even eccl iasLic potentates Lo alter practices that main ain the s b­ordinalI'd position of the emale. This means that th 39 chapters 0 the National Organization for Women in Ohio must ta p Lhe role our more traditional, conservative sisters are loathe to assume. We must train and prepare ourselves to change not only the attitude bu t a.lso the behaviors of those wh reserv power and m ney as the ~­rogat.ives of a white male. We must [inall. get what we want. We wanlequa.!opportuniLy in educaLion, employment and go emance. n fortunately saying it does not make it so. A sign reading "We are a equal Oppol'tunity employer" signifies litera.!ly nothing. Boards or Education that welcome our "inputt.ing" are not "outputting" with admi.ni trative posllions for women. Liberal­izing th dress codes for bank workers does not add a cent Lo lhe purchasing power of these chiefly f male clerical workers.

National Perspective By Martha Buck, NOW National Board NOW is at the stage of a critical "passage" in its life. Like all human-based entities, or~ izations are living things, c nLaining stages of develop­ment. During the first n v ars f th life o f the Nati nal Organization for Women we wer in a fitful but stead_ rowth p tt rn, with a serie (f victorie < nd succe es to sp r us on l new highs i.n activity and involv menlo Morllie was very high as was our basic sense of commitm nl to NOW, lo the women's movement, and to each other. Success was not only possible uL imminen t. But, as happen with all organisms, NOW's phenomenal a hievemenl has slowed some­wh t in the p st year or s . Our uccesses seem to be Ie gl bal and much harder to achieve. We have begun to qUt!stion not whether succe is possible -w still know it IS ­but just wh n we can e ' p ct to see it. Some o f us perceive that we need to dig-in for the long haul. that the-kinds of societal change we envision will take generatioru to e!'rect. With tile I\ti ffening o f f rces resistant to our philosophy com s a con­omit< ln t and tragic eroding f the I tinctive I v and t usi with whi h we have all ap­pn)Qched our ISler.; i the movement and !.he organjJ;a­Lion. Some of us are indulging ourselves in horizontal hostil ity and misLrust.

Ido in Lh lire r all individual or an organization re we able to identify befo re the events that a critical period is approa hing. How many f us can 10 k baek and see that this or thaL event was really a turning point, and how s ldom we were aware of it at the lime of the vent itself. But we have the benefit of foresight in predicting that NOW is at such a turning P' int, both National and Ohio NOW.

    - Anril 12, 1978 \'I;OMEN IN COMBAT? OLe of the main objections WSPD has held against the p~oposed Eq ual Rights Amendment IS the fact that, in the event of war, women would be required to serve in combat assignments. Now, even withou· ERA, Pentagon officials are pressing for Congressional authority ~o place women in a full range of bat­t _e situations, from fighter planes to infantry. I r. WSPD's opinion, such a move would be a social and military d_saster. Obvl0usly, many --women included --will disagree. BU4 for OUr part, we side with the view e. pressed in an inter­v ew published earlier this year in U. S. News & World Report, q oting ret:L d Army Brigadier General Elizabeth Hoisington, who said: " .. in my whole lifetime, I have never known 1 women whom I t:l1ought could endure three months under actual combat condit"one in an Army unit." And, "The peripheral d ngees of serving in combat units --bein raped by stronger o Lemporarll~ crazed comrades; beIng taken prisoner of war a d similarly a used, beaten and starved~ being physically and mentally Incapable of performing onels assigned duties in combat and being responsible for others being killed or WOUnded these are some of the other harmful situations women could experience combat than just being o es at home." in combat. killed and There not ret is urn more ing to to ear your in loved Amen to that t and then some.
