Saturday class explores women in politics
- i
By Cindy Cuerra
Daily Colkaian Staff Writer
A female television reporter once askec
the mayor of New York why more womer.
commissioners were not in his admin¬
istration. In answer to her question, while
the cameras were grinding away, he said.
"Honey, whatever women do, they do best
after dark."
In a similar incident, said Gail Wasser,
head of CSUF's Women Studies De¬
partment, former President Richard Nixon
once told a 13-year-old girl, who said she
wanted to go into politics. "You're too
pretty. You'll probably get married in¬
stead.
Incidents sifch as these and attitudes
about women in politics will be explored
by the Women and Politics class, which
will be on two consecutive'Saturdays,
March6and 13. According to WasSer.it is
the first time this class will be offered
through the Women's Studies Depart¬
ment, although it had been offered through
the Political Science Department a few
years ago.

'Women tend to view politics as dirty, a
profession in which men get together in
cigar smoke-filled rooms and play dirty
tricks on one another,* Wasser said.
Wasser will teach the class.
One of her goals for the class is to
educate women in the process of viewing
the political arena as a place where they
can contribute and participate.
Wassersa id that women are contributing
to and involving themselves with politics
everytime they go to the polls and cast
their ballot. Historically. Wasser said,
women voted the way their husbands
voted. Now, she said, a women's voting
bloc is emerging in this nation. Women no
longer vote as their husbands do. she said.
According to an article in Christian
Science Monitor, in. the last national
election, a poll conducted by the New
York Times and CBS showed an eight
percent gap between Ronald Reagan's . .
support among men and women, with 54
percent oQ the men voting for' Reagan ,
compared with 46 percenLoT- the women
voting for hn*fc <. ""■
Results from a U.S. News & World
Report survey in May showed even more
dramatic resoals. Thirty-nine percent of
'women loaders" approved of Reagan,,
compared with. 67 percent of their male
counterparts—a gap of 28 points.
Womenare already involved in politics.
Wasser saM. Another goal of her class will
be to rid women of the myths of the
profession.
"Women's notions about politics may
be as distorted as men's views' about
-women in politics." Wassersaid.

Left-hand handicap
not a major problem

Daily Collegian Contributing Writer
The plight of the handicapped to get
government and education buildingcodes
changed for better access is well known.
But how abut a handicap of another
kind—the handicap of being left-handed.
Do universititics and colleges accom¬
modate the left-hander in buildings and.
more specifically, classrooms? At the Uni¬
versity of California-Davis, Jim Wilson,
head of building maintenance, estimates
"about ten percent* of the writing tables in
the classroom are for lefties.
How does CSUF accommodate the
left-handed student? Tim Johnson, facili¬
ties planning officer, estimates that 'about
five percent" of the clasrooms here are
outfitted wilth left-handed desks. John¬
son said the university used to buy a
certain percentage of left-handed tables,
but there it no such buying policy now.
Trying to find specific information on
CSU F's building code and classroom pol¬
icy is similar to looking for a white cow in
a snowstorm—it gets very vague. Most of
the problem is not at the university level; it
is from apathy toward the subject.
Paul Knapp. director of the Associa¬
tion of Physical Plant Administrators
(APPA) in Washington D.C. says. "It's
fm*r;"'Y ""' ° maiOT '""' nationally. 1
suppose the left-handed students just
aren't that organized or articulate as a
group. Either that, or they just aren't that
concerned about it."
However, at CSUF there is hope for
lefties. According lo Johnson, the new
library music room has been changed to
help the left-hander. The listening
booths, previously all outfitted for right¬
handers, now have approximately five
percent of the booths outfitted for left¬
handers. This encompasses changing the
turn table to the right-hand side so the
students can place their notebooks on the
left side.
Aside from the music room, the prob¬
lem it's just not a major concern. Johnson,
who is left-handed, said, "As far as I'm
concerned the handicap of being left-
handed involves a pair of scissors, a gravy
ladle and a butterknife."
The problem at CSUF does not seem
imperative. Stan Ziegler, professor of
chemistry, when asked if the scienc labs
have anything made especially for left¬
handers said. "I can't think of anything
off-hand (no pun intended). Most facili¬
ties are centered, such as gas outlets and
water faucets."
Merrill Lcmkc. superintendent of build¬
ings a nd grounds, said, "We do have some
left-handed desks, but it's on request." As
far as the buildings nnd doors go, the
building code dictates whether or not left-
handed persons are accommodated. The
present building code has nothing in it for
lefties.
How about the left-handed student's
viewpoint? "In rooms like industrial arts
and psychology, it's harder to write be¬
cause the desks are for right-handers,"
said Brett Wolfe, a business major.
Some students have a strong opinion.
There is a definite need for left-handed
desks. Even at Mt. Whitney High School
(Visalia) they had lefty desks. Here they
don't and it's a gross oversight." said
Randy Tellalian, a graduate student in
economics.
Others arent as concerned. Steve Burg-
staller, a biology major, said. "I'm left-
handed. I've sat at a desk fora left-handed
person and found it awkward, so it doesn't
really bother me to sit at a right-handed
desk.*
One student may have summarized the
general feeling on campus, when asked
what he thought about the problem of
left-handers, he replied. "Who cares!"
Gets 'new life' at CSUF .
Barmore finds last chance best
i
By Peter Stott
Daily Colleaian Suit Wriler
This is his last chance, but by observ¬
ing him you wouldn't notice. He keeps the
pressure within him and what appears
outwardly is an image of a guy who loves
life and does everything full speed ahead.
His friends describe him as a "nice guy"
and his coach says he's "just a big teddy
bear.'Takinga back seat to stars like Rod
Higgins and Bobby Davis doesn't bother
him. He accepts his role and knows that
next year he's the one who will be ex¬
pected to make things happen.
Desi Barmore came to Fresno State
almost ready to give up on the game he
had loved since the third grade. Two con¬
secutive disappointing experiences in col¬
lege basketball have a way of dampening a
man's confidence. But Barmore bounced
back.
The 6-foot-8 center transferred to FSU
from the University of Alabama last year
and was not eligible to play until this past
Dec. 23. That day, against UC Davis, he
played a little more than 10 minutes,scor¬
ing eight points, taking down- six re¬
bounds and blocking three shots. Not bad
for a guy who hadn't seen much action for
over two yean.    "-
In a game against Utah State on Jan.
16. Barmore was the high scorer for the
Bulldogs with   13 and  once again the
points came in an off-the-bench perform¬
ance.
It was cenainthat Barmore had found a
home when Boyd Grant decided to start
him against the powerful Irvine Anteat-
ect A rare loss to Long Beach State, in
wrreh the Bulldogs suffered from several
poor individual efforts, may have-been
Barmore's break. But he would never look
at it that way.
"Covering Kevin Magee was the biggest
responsibility I ever had. up to that day, in
my college career," said Barmore.
Coming off a 40-plus scoring perfor-
, mance the week before. Magee was held to
18 points. Bar more's 30 minutes of play¬
ing time largely stifled the efforts of the
big man from  Irvine, who had grown
accustomed to a 27 point scoring average.
"I lost seven pounds in that game and .
had headaches for two days after it,* said
Barmore of the 55-49 overtime victory.
Then last wcekemfMagcc was forced to
leave Selland Arena a frustrated man once
again. Barmore, despite sitting out much
of the second half, was a main reason the
Irvine center was held to a low 17-point
total.
So who is this guy Fresno Stale fans
have been noticing all of a sudden and
where did they find him?
