For Women Only . . . Although our attendance did not always support the fact, it ' s nice knowing that some things were planned for women only. Departmental programs, the Women ' s Studies Program, the Home Family Life Center and Lyceum Committee sponsored a variety of speakers throughout the year. Emphasis was placed on exposing us to new careers and lifestyle changes. Armed with A.C.E.S. cards and notebooks tucked under our arms, we discovered things we had left undone and things that had to be done. We discovered that some things once considered important during this college year, were really trivial. After all how much disco does it take to land a job? Probably none! The second semester was highlighted with the visit of C. Delores Tucker, former Secretary of State of Pennsylvania. She en- couraged our involvement in public affairs and our leadership in a return to strong moral character. The Women ' s Studies Program sponsored its annual scholarly Arts Celebration. Participants included Dr. Thelma Adair, Ms. Patsy Graves, Dr. Lewis Jones, and Dr. Leila Gonzales. Dr. Thelma Adair, one of our own, en- couraged us to become more serious students. Amelia Rokotuiuuna discussed issues fac- ing women in underdeveloped nations. 26
