Knowing full well that Santa Clara students learn as much outside the classroom as inside, there came to the campus a long and diverse procession of speakers during the month of October. Dick Gregory attracted an overflow audience to Benson Center with his powerful warning against the conspiracy of the super-rich super-pimps who try to maintain their power through the proliferation of drugs and the false dreams and ideals of movies and television. A host of lecturers came to SCU through the newly-formed sex differences Institute to examine different facets of the problem of sexism in American society today. These included Dr. Carol Jacklin and Dr. Jane Collier of Stanford University, and Opel Belland, a bank executive who spoke on minority women and their opportunities for success in the business world. Two widely acclaimed films, Growing up Female and men ' s Lives, prompted a discussion about the pressures of sex roles. Dr. Sue Bell of the University presented a slide-lecture of the history of women and work. All the way from Cambridge University in England, came Professor C.S. Stevens, to speak to standing-room-only crowd about the myths and legends of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. While renowned as story-book characters throughout Western litera- ture, Professor Stevens pulled the real people out of history and made them come alive, aided by an entertaining Cockney flair and a charm reminiscent of Mr. Chips. i f u --was the year-long program probing the problem of se xism, or sex discrimination by either sex, through a comprehensive series of lectures, panel discussions, and films, by examining the issues and offering concrete solutions. A brainchild of 1974, faculty and student enthusiasm carried the program clear to this year, and secured funds for the establishment of an inter-disciplinary Institute. Dr. Lenore Horowitz was named director of the Winter ' 76 Institute and was assisted by Ivls. Claire Arnesen. SPEAKERS .T m twenty
