WHO’S WHO? In the past, it has been said that TECHMILA has done little by way of recognition for all the people who spend good portions of their free time trying to make various student organizations function. The problem is that most of these people are so busy, it's almost impossible to get them to sit still long enough for a photograph. So, we decided to pick the pockets of some of those who deserve recognition Our apologies to those leaders whose pockets we didn't get a chance to pick. -ED.

HOLZEMER When the girls aren't interested in them, these kids take out all their frustrations on beer and dope, instead of changing their approach. On getting a college education: If someone had told me when I was twenty-four that someday I would go to college at one of the best printing schools in the world, I would have though he was crazy. I never was a very good student in elementary school or high school and I always thought 1 would just be a worker'. Sometimes, when I sit and think about it, I am so thrilled to be getting my education, even though I am thirty- two. Personally, I am thrilled and 1 wish everybody at RIT could feel as good to have such an opportunity. INTERVIEW WITH MAXINE Maxine has completed her degree in Fine and Applied Arts with a major in painting. She plans to work as a designer for an advertising firm sometime in the near future. On women in business: In business circles there’s a strong feeling that women don't have the drive and ambition to be very effec- tive. There’s an incredible difference between how women are treated at RIT and how they get treated in the business world. Here at RIT it's all very idealistic. Once you're out work- ing, the difference in how women and men are treated is incredible. Everybody knows that women's salaries are not as high as men's, That's got to change. But another thing that bothers me is the games that women play with other women. From what I have observed, women who are good-looking go about getting what they want by playing on men's sexist instincts. This degrades and downgrades everything that the women's movement is trying to achieve because these pretty women use tricks and pandering that men put them down for. And that doesn't help the next woman who comes along looking for a job or better pay if she is just like Miss Plain Jane. On male-female relationships: When a woman enters into a relationship with a man, he automatically expects here to start changing her goals. Men are not in- terested in strong women. Once they enter into a relationship they want a wife and a mother and all those other things. It's true that you don’t marry the man, you marry the life that goes along with him. It just isn't reasonable that a woman has to change all her goals and interests when she gets in- volved with a man, and the man doesn't have to change his role at all. This doesn't happen in every case, but it happens a lot. A lot of times women can find more support for their goals from other women than they can from men. If you can get over your socio-type hangups about homosexuality, it seems to me that anybody can love anybody else, and turn somebody else on if that’s required. A woman can do it to another woman, just like a man can do it to another man. What really matters is if you love each other enough, —RUSS HARRIS 19
