Symposium At Emory
“Women and History” is the title of a one-day symposium at
Emory University on Wednesday, Nov. 14, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at
White Hall on the Emory campus. The sessions of the symposium,
which is directed by Dr. Susan Socolow of the Emory history depar
tment, are free and open to the public. The symposium is spon
sored by the Emory Commission on the Status of Women and the
Emory Department of History.
The symposium is based on two themes: the place of women in
history and their place in the historical profession. The 10 a.m.
session, chaired by Mollie C. Davis of Queens College, will explore
the history of Southern women in the early 20th century. J ulia Kirk
Blackwelder of the University of North Carolina at Charlotte will
speak on “White Gloves, Mops and Typewriters: Atlanta’s
Working Women in the Early 20th Century.” Sharon Harley of the
University of Maryland will give a talk on “The Elite and the Non-
Elite: Black Women in the District of Columbia, 1890-1920,” and
Jaqueline Hall of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
will speak on “Oral Sources and the New Women’s History:
Strategies for Research on Southern Working Women.”
The 11:30 a.m. session, lead by Richard M. Rollins of the Univer
sity of Southern California, will be a look at new sources for
women’s history. Asuncion Lavrin of Howard University will speak
on “The Visual Record”: sources in paintings and the plastic arts.
Darlene Roth-White of Emory University in her lecture on
“Material Culture: Architecture, Archaeology and Costume,” will
offer a look at the ways that homes reflect the position and role of
women.
After lunch, the 1 p.m. session will be concerned with ways that
women’s history can be incorporated into standard texts and survey
courses. One of the speakers, Elizabeth Fox-Genovese of the
University of Rochester, is studying this problem under a grant
from the National Endowment for the Humanities. The other lec
turer, Gary Reichard of Ohio State University, has, with others,
published a text titled “America: Changing Times,” the first text to
deal extensively with the role of women and minorities in U.S.
history.
The 3:30 p.m. session, on women in the historical profession, will
include a discussion led by D’Ann Campbell, dean of women at In
diana University, herself an historian and head of the Coalition for
Women in Humanities and Social Sciences, Arnita J ones, Formerly
with the American Historical Association and now with the
National Endowment for the Humanities, will speak about the
problems of placement and advancement for women historians.

Socolow at the Emory University History Department, Atlanta, Ga.

Run For Your Life
For those that need an in
centive to exercise, the Atlanta
University Center Army ROTC is
sponsoring the “Run For Your
Life” program. The program,
designed for men, women and
children, is intended to establish
a physical conditioning program
that can be used over an ex
tended period of time.
The three-phased, individually
tailored, running program is
designed to fit the needs of each
runner. There is a preparatory
phase of people who recently led
an inactive life. A conditioning
phase for those having completed
the preparatory stage or who
have been engaged in a con
ditioning program but can not
walk or run one mile in eight and
one-half minutes or less. The final
phase, the sustaining phase, is for
people who can run one mile in
eight and one-half minutes or less
without becoming overly
fatigued.
To insure that the program is
safe the sponsor require par
ticipants to follow strict medical
requirements. Entrants should
consult a physician prior to
beginning the program. The
sponsor requires participants to
have their blood pressure and
weight checked. Entrants with
high bloos pressure, excessive
weight or an abnormal EKG can
not enter.
In the program there should be
no more than two consecutive
days without running or walking.
The goal of the program is to
progress to the sustaining phase
whereby a participant will be
able to continue running a
