Mars Lenn Mil ler were the two married couples who have dealt with the obstacles in a two-career marriage, and shared some of their experiences with the audience The most fundamental thing to be decided w hen two people who both want careers get married is if they want children, and how the division of labor wilb Ik* worked out . said Albert Schaffer, professor of sociol ogy at A6tM Warren Dixon, assistant professor of political science at A&M, said even if you are open minded, when you get married vou find yourself playing the sex roles. For example, not marrying until 34 years old and probably ironing shirts before his wife was bom. he finds himself tel ling her when he needs clean shirts. he said. Some advantages for a two-career marriage are: 1) fulfilling your need* as a woman. 2) bringing something more vital to your marriage, and 3) extra money, said O’Rear Today is the last day of the Wo men's Career Conference The ex periences of five women with careers is the subject of today's meeting in 601 Rudder Tower, noon to 2 p.m. Movie Review Bv BILL CVRNl’TT FELIJNTS ROMA — Fredrico Fellini and hi* fantasy vision of Rome and its lieginning.

Wouldn’t he be better off retiring early and not have to face people?” ANSWE Rliiie: Absolutely not. There is nothing shame ful about having been treated for cancer. The man wants to enjoy the life that his treatment has made pos sible. It’s our hunch that he will be a better woodworker than ever. It’s not a kindness to deny him the right to do meaningful work, of which he is capable. It might interest you to know as an employer that a study done by the Metropolitan Insurance Com pany of its many employees who returned to work after cancer treatment, showed that they had no more ab sences for sickness than other employees. antibiotics in the sense with which you are familiar, (as agents against bacteria), hut because they are chemicals that can interfere with the division of cells (cancer is the endless division and reproduction of cells.) Adria- mycin is an example of a powerful new antibiotic, developed in Italy, which is now proving effective as part of the treatment for several forms of cancer — for example, some bone cancers, advanced breast cancer and leukemia. However, it is not useful for all patients be cause of side effects. It is not useful for all cancers — but we are glad to have it. .4 teenage girl writes: "I've just learned how to do breast self-examination for cancer in my hygiene class and I think that it is a great idea. I was surprised to discover that my mother and my married sister don’t do breast self- examination. Shouldn’t all women?” ASSWERHne: Unfortunately, a recent Gallup survey showed that fewer than one- fourth of American women practice breast self-examina tion regi larly. Sometimes it is a matter of ignorance or fear. The American Cancer Society seeks to teach every woman this life-saving habit. Why don’t you suggest they ask their doctors about it. Also, your local American Cancer Society Unit has a leaflet on step-hy-step in structions that is free for the asking. Question: "What is Hodgkin’s Disease? Is it cancer?” ASSWERHne: Yes.Hodgkin’s is cancer of the lymph system. Once this form of cancer was hopeless, but today there are successful treatments for a great number of patients. A wife asks: ’’Can you give me some facts about the length of time a person loses from his life if he smokes cigarettes. My husband is just twenty-one but he smokes them a lot and I’m worried.” ASSWERHne: You might tell your husband that a careful study has shown that the man who is a pack-a-day smoker by age 25 runs the risk of living six years less than the young man who doesn’t. He is at the point in his life when he can make a decision that might actually extend his life. The decision should be to quit completely and if he needs help, please check with your local American Cancer Society Unit. \ A housewife writes: “We all know that antibiotics, can do wonderful things. Now I hear that there is a new one for cancer. Is that true?” ANSWERUne: Several anti biotics are useful against can osc. not because they are Do you have further questions?
