science graduate student, was selected by
Harman. Kindrick is not a member of GSC.
Harman said she thinks the overall ef
fect of having two associate vice chairmen
will be positive.
“I am really excited to work with both of
them,” Harman said. “It’s going to be for the
best. I just wish it could have come about, in
a different way.”
The agreement also specifies that Har
man can not conduct committee business
when McKee is not present. To ensure con
stant communication, Harman and McKee
must meet biweekly with student activity
advisers and Jill Jackson, Student Govern
ment vice president of finance.
McKee said she is satisfied with the
compromise.
“My opinion is that we came up with an
agreement that was beneficial to all parties
Sommers
Continued from Page 1
Sommers said the prevailing
misinformation is driving a rift
between men and women.
“Society will be even more po
larized on the fault-line of sex if
the current situation continues,”
Sommers said.
She also addressed the fallacy
of statistical information concern
ing anorexia, which radical femi
nists compare to the holocaust.
Many feminists believe that about
150,000 women die annually from
anorexia, but the National Center
for Health Statistics says only
8,331 women die from all causes
each year.
Sommers emphasized the im
portance of the equity movement
as the original foundation of the
feminist movement. The intent of
equity feminists, who wanted the
right to vote, was to dispel the be
lief that women were prone to hys
teria and irrationality, she said.
The true cause of feminism,
she said, has been lost in excesses
of victimization and political cor
rectness that are the exactly op
posite from what the equity femi
nists wanted.
Who Stole Feminism? was
Sommers’ reply to these problems
and a call for change in the femi
nist movement, she said.
“I wrote the book because I am
convinced that the feminist move
ment has taken a terribly wrong
turn at a time when we need a
strong women’s movement.”
Sommers believes that the
enormous progress that women
have made is being ignored as
radical feminists focus on such
problems as the “beauty-myth
conspiracies” and today’s “patriar
chal system of oppression.”
Feminists should focus on ihe
many accomplishments women
have achieved as they stride to
reach parity with men, she said.
“Equity feminism may not he
fully achieved, but it is a great
American success story,” Som
mers said.
While there are issues of in
equality that must he resolved,
Sommers said, American women
are not oppressed.
Joshua McClure, a sophomore
agricultural engineering major,
said he supported Sommers’ strong
emphasis on equal opportunity.
“She basically feels that
women should be treated equal
ly, hut not preferentially,” Me
Clure said.
Members of the National Orga
nization for Women disagreed
with Sommers on many issues.
Susan Schulz, a freshman inter
national studies major, said that
Sommers “debased issues that
women face daily.”
Angela Rodriguez, a senior bio
chemistry major, said the speech
was limiting because it focused on
women within academia.
“There is a discrepancy be
tween her experience and the ex
periences of most women because
of socioeconomic status,” Ro
driguez said.

grass fields for the 1996 sea
son. Of 108 Division I-A foot
ball teams, 66 will have grass
fields in 1996.
The University of Texas,
Baylor, Texas Tech and the
University of Houston football
teams still have home stadi
ums with artificial grass.
Steve Ensminger, offensive
coordinator, said he does not
think grass playing surfaces
have significant advantages
over turf.
“It’s not proven (that less
injuries happen on grass),”
Ensminger said. “It’s no dif
ferent. It’s a grihd to play on
it (turf) every day, hut there’s
no difference as far as game
performance.”
However, Ens
minger said he is con

wound, and Bux said it was possible.
Defense lawyers later asked that testimony
by Officer Luther O’Banion be entered into ev
idence. O’Ban ion addressed the prosecution's
charges that Shamburger committed a series
of robberies and credit card forgeries in Au
gust and September 1994 before attempting to
rob Baker a second time.
O’Banion revealed Shamburger had used
credit cards he had stolen from Baker and
her neighbors. He said Shamburger charged
more than $1,200, buying mostly luxury
items, ranging from golf shoes and cologne to
a silver belt buckle and cigars.
O’Banion told the court Shamburger used
Baker’s credit card at 11:57 on the night of
her murder to buy a gas can, a gallon of gas
and lottery tickets at Jud’s Food Store on
Wellborn Road.
The gas can was the same type found
melted in Baker's bedroom.
Kristin Harrison, Baker's friend, toldtlf I
court she and Baker had lived together tro®
1992 to May 1994. She testified Baker awl
Shamburger had been friends during Id' I
1992, and they had gone dancing together 1
several times.
Harrison said Baker was concerned be
cause she felt Shamburger was pursuing:
deeper relationship, which she hadnoten l
couraged. Baker ended her acquaintance]
with Shamburger in late 1992, she said.
Testimony will continue today at 8:30a.m.
