YOU'VE COME -'r Y ili- iw-5'76'H W5 Women will never again be ignored in the world of Politics - 1984 made that undeniably true. In 1984 the people of America voted in women gov- ernors, women mayors, and for the first time in the history of the United States, a woman was nominated by a major political party for the second-highest of- fice in the United States. Geral- dine Ferraro effectively obliter- ated one of the last obstacles to sexual equality in our society without sacrificing one ounce of her feminity. A tough prosecutor from Queens, New York, Ferraro handled all the political heat without ever losing her cool. She behaved like the secure, in- telligent, politically sawy wom- an she is, even in the most diffi- cult situations. No longer will critics of women in politics be able to claim that women are too flighty or hysterical or emo- tional to succeed in the political world. In the 65 years since women obtained the right to vote, only now has one man- aged to make it to the forefront of the political scene. Although unsuccessful in the election. Geraldine Ferraro will be re- membered as a political pioneer who wasn't afraid to run with the big boys. The national scene wasn't the only place women made strides in 1984. Here at Troy State. Tra- cy Osmer was elected President of the Student Govemment As- sociation. Tracy's election showed that Washington wasn't the only place where women were making it big. Osmer's success was a testimo- nial to the ability of women to handle responsibility in an effec- tive manner. Tracy ran an effec- tive campaign and followed O CWA, BABY through with a decisive victory. Osmer's administration has shown no lack of capability, and being a woman has certainly been no handicap to Osmer. Her administration worked to reform Dorm visitation at Troy State, as well as introduce the new winter quarter event, Ho- megoing. The election of a female to the Presidency of SGA showed that in 1984, students at Troy State like much of America, had confidence in a woman as a leader. Thereisnodoubt,whetheri1 the White House, the State House, the Courthouse or yes. even the Troy State SGA. wom- en have become as prominent- ly represented as they should be. You've definitely come a long way. baby. lull: Was JI
