Unemployment rate
rises for women
There are now more than 29
million working women who rep
resent almost 45 per cent of the
female population, an increase of
almost 100 per cent since 1940.
But the median annual wage for
a woman working full time is
$4,457 while for a man it is
$7,664, according to the Depart
ment of Labor, which has pro
vided these and all the following
statistics.
Occupationally, women are rel
atively more disadvantaged than
they were 30 years ago. In 1940,
women held 45 per cent of all
professional and technical jobs
while now it is approximately 37
per cent. Unemployment rates
were the same for men and
women in 1960; today twice as
many women are unemployed.
Three out of 5 working women
earn less than $5,000 as com
pared to 1 out of 5 men. The
majority of women work because
they have to, not merely to get
extra pocket money. Yet more
than one-third of them are in
low-paid clerical positions. Two-
thirds of professional women are
in the notoriously underpaid
fields of nursing and teaching.
Dr. Dean Knudsen blames the
lowered status of women on their
own diminished efforts coupled
with institutionalized discrimina
tion. She sees it as a vicious
cycle: Women know they will be
discriminated against in high
paying jobs and give up their
efforts; employers justify dis
crimination by citing evidence of
lower achievement and commit
ment to employment.
Coming into the ’70s, with its
trend toward earlier marriage
and smaller families, women are
active in the labor force again.
Indisputably, they are moving
into many new fields — computer
programming, electronics, engi
neering. But they are still re
stricted in their choice of jobs
by a variety of so-called “pro
tective laws.” Women have been
called “victims of protection” for
they are often excluded from
better-paying positions by these
laws.

Junkyard houses wax art
SOUTH AMBOY, N.J. <A>> _
Amidst the crushed and mangled
hulks of cars in a junkyard here,
stands an old dairy truck—the
kind that delivers milk at your
home. This one, however, is a
studio for Leora Korb, a tiny
blond with a long pony tail who
spends her days transforming
white silk into filmy colorful
batik scarves.
Her studio, which has a win
dow, door, skylight, interior spot
lights, shelves and worktable, sits
in the junkyard owned by her
husband’s parents.
Mrs. Korb, who was born in
South Africa, moved to Israel
where she studied fashion design.
She came to New York City in
1967 to work for an Israeli man
ufacturing concern and met and
married Lewis Korb.
Her suburban New Jersey
apartment, she found, was too
confining for her batik work. “I
was too inhibited,” she recalled.
“It’s messy work, and I was
afraid the dye would splatter.”
So she set up the studio.
There, on rainy days, she can
be found bent over her worktable,
drawing designs with hot bees
wax on sheer silk. On sunny days
she’s outside dyeing the scarves,
which range up to six feet in
length. The colors are magnifi
cent. Think of the Negev desert
at sunrise, mid-day and sunset—
subtle, earthy, striking and vi
brant.
The designs are fascinating:
simple and subdued—the merest
tracings of line and color—or bold
and geometric, but never harsh.
And she’s done well with them
—they are popular in New York
City stores, and are quickly
spreading to better stores, across
the country.
Batik designs
rival tie-dyeing
MAKING BATIK—Leora Korb uses a tjantling to apply hot beeswax to areas not to be
dyed. Then she hang-s fabrics up to dry. Next she dips them in kerosene to remove wax.
Tie-dyeing, an ancient oriental
art gone modern, is displayed
across the campus on jeans, T-
shirts and as hangings on dorm
and apartment walls. Often the
results of an afternoon spent
amidst rubber bands and vats of
dye are less than satisfactory.
An alternative to a possible dis
aster is batik. Although more
time-consuming, the craft of re
sist dyeing produces more elab
orate and intricate designs than
tie-dyeing.
To begin, one must have these
materials:
Beeswax or paraffin
Regular clothing dye
Cloth (Use cotton or a loosely
woven fabric such as silk or
cheesecloth)
Pans (to hold dyes and wax)

A suggestion box sponsored

The purpose of the box is to
gain opinions and suggestions
concerning All-University Week
end Oct. 9-11 and on other social
events. Anyone who has any
ideas for possible social activities
for the event is encouraged to
use the suggestion box.
“The box is not there just for
the use of coeds,” stressed Miss
McCall. Anyone with an idea
should not hesitate to let us
know.”
There have been numerous re

loosely-fitting clothing can be
worn for workouts.
Last spring a four-woman team
was organized by Mickey Strat

Last year the team, consisting
of Kathy Hooper, Muriel McDer

This year a new team, formed

The applicator, called a tjantl
ing, can be made by bending the
end of a wire clothes hanger to
form a loop. Use aluminum foil
to shape a cup with a pouring
spout.
Draw a pencil outline of the
desired design on the fabric. Heat
wax and mix dye. Using the ap
plicator, apply liquid wax to fab
ric on areas not to be dyed.
Dip the fabric in cold dye. This
is extremely important. If dye is
not cold, wax will melt.
Leave fabric in dye four to six
hours, preferably overnight.
Wax can be removed in three
ways. The fabric can be soaked
in kerosene or hot water. Or one
can place the fabric between two
sheets of newspaper and iron the
top sheet with a hot iron, chang
ing the newspaper frequently.
This method is most effective but
the most time-consuming.
Batik patterns designed in
many colors require rewaxing and
dyeing for each color used.
Often a large area is waxed,
using a wad of cotton or brush as
an applicator. Then the material
is immersed in cold water and
crushed in the hand. This pro
duces a fine meshwork of cracks
over the surface. When the ma
terial is dipped in the dye, the
color will penetrate the cracks.
