--------------Talk Talk------------- “How have men and women changed during the past four years? How will they continue to change?” I don't think they (women) hare changed considerably much in the past four yean ... except for the ones who're been eating dorm food for that time. I think they will continue to change to be more assertire in the workplace. — Rick Laue, Senior “Men change a lot in their four years at college. Mostly around their junior year they start to get very serious and suddenly take on a direction. — Trish Wheeler, Senior “You can really see a change in college boys from their freshman to their senior year. As they go along they slow down and start to date one person, that b if they make it that far! As far as how men in general have changed,... let’s face it, we’re in a Yuppie generation and they’re out for money. There will probably be a counterrevolution to that but DU will always be business oriented in order suceed as a university though the facade may change. — Lisa Cbenoweth. Senior “Women change more gradually, as graduation approaches they still have more options as far as getting a job or getting married. Men still don't have the opportunity to take time off the way women do.” — Trish Wheeler, Senior “As opposed to men. most women come in with a basic idea and steer through to the end ... they also narrow their choices, they’re better about staying with a particular major. Women don’t change as much as men. men do a lot of growing up in those four years. .As for how women are changing in general. I think there are many more women in masters programs, and going into more technical and business-oriented fields. — lisa Chenoweth. Senior I think they are more sensitive to the competition from women.” - Chancellor Dwight Smith “Orerall, I think men are becoming more considerate of the fairer sex. - Rick Laue. Senior I think people are starting to become a little less conscious of the differences between the sexes, maybe the feminists are winning out. I see just as many of my women friends going out for jobs and getting them as ray men friends. Hopefully that will continue and things will become completely equal especially as far as pay goes. I think men are taking the change really well, I don’t see them being bitter about competing with women for the same jobs. I don’t see men saying that there is something wrong with that, but accepting women's qualifications. I disagree with anything involving demographics, its a nice idea ... but I think the job should always go to the most qualified person, male or female. I don’t think that women should get advancements or payments simply because they're women, in the same way I don’t believe men should. But there may be instances where a woman is a better choice for the job just as there may be instances where a man is a better choice for a particular job.
