| Summary: | Page 9 Cppcordian, February 1, 1985; In these times by Arlene Jorgensen In Virginia Woolf's book, A Room of One's Own, Wootf talks about men as the authors of most fiction and attempts to explain why women haven't been in the forefront in literary circles. She also discusses women's roles in fiction versus women's roles in society and discovers some in-teresting contradictions. • She states that, A very queer, composite be-ing thus emerges. Im-aginatively she (the woman) is of the highest importance; practically she is complete-ly insignificant. She pervades poetry from cover to cover; yet she is ail but absent from history. some of the most in-spired words, some of the most profound thoughts in literature fall from her lips; but in real life she could hardly read, could scarcely spell, and was the property of her husband (pp. 45-46). This passage in Woolf's book is important to note because of the irony Woolf has discovered between women's roles' in •Killing Fields" (R) M-F 1, 3:30 Sat. & Sun. 7, 9:30 'Nlnja III The Domination" (R) I M-F 1:30, 3:15 Eve. 7:30, 9:15 "Karate Kid" (PG) > M-F 7, 9:15 Sat. & Sun. 1, 3:15 Wanted Advert Writer Recapture Childhood, Have A Ball, Release Inhibitions.

CINEMA reality and women's roles in literature. Woolf says that throughout history women have been undervalued, but strangely enough, in literature the roles women have been depicted in are completely opposite from their realistic situation. In the fictitious world of literature, women become crucial characters who are of the utmost impor-tance to "figures of importance" and are people who say some of the most pro-found words and do some of the most significant acts. Womankind is elevated from her position of subserviance and domination to an imaginary position where she is respected, honored and even revered. Since most of the literature Woolf discusses was written by men, it is in-teresting to note that men have been writing about women in almost a reverant way for almost all of literary history. All the while, however, it seems ironic that she has maintained a second- class position in society. In fact, in historical writings. Woolf states that the role of women is next to nonexistent. By writing about women only in the realm of literature and on rare occasion in a historical context, I think we can assess that women's lives were not considered in the serious light that they deserved. As a result of this image of women, we lose some valuable insights about personhood and what ft is to be human in this world. • ••••••••••*•*•«***»«-' LOUNGE NOW SHOWING 5:00 7:00 9:15 11:15.

Lenny Bartlett, a recent graduate of Ricks Junior College in Idaho and native Californian, who transferred to Concordia on a whim. The events that follow are true: the names have been changed to protect the insignificant. This is the epic story of Lenny's first day at Concordia—a day that will live in infamy. Lenny began the day by putting on his cowboy boots and one of the coolest rugby shirts in all of central CaJifornia. Since a nourishing breakfast means a happy day, Lenny jauntily strode off to the Commons. Arctic January in Moorhead can sometimes be cruel to the uninitiated. It was not long before Lenny realized that he might want to invest in a winter coat and possibly some gloves. As he thought about just what shade of blue he would be when he reached the Com-mons, he spotted something that resembled a motor-powered paint roller driven by a crazed eskimo. Yes, it was.the Grim Sweeper, Catapaulting adroitly out of its path, Lenny narrowly escaped certain death. "I wonder what the purpose of that machine is?" muttered Lenny, as he cautiously reentered the sidewalk. When his boot did not take hold, he was sent sprawling on the freshly slicked ice. He then realized what the purpose of the machine was. Upon entering the Knutson Center, Lenny saw the doors to the Commons begin to close. Making a now concentrated bee-line towards the door, Lenny arrived just in 1 time to have it slammed in his face. "Sorry, we're closed," snickered a voice from behind the door, as Lenny tenderly nursed an injured nostril. Lenny then remembered that he had to register for classes at 9:30. but first he decided to check his P.O. Hur-ndly Lenny rounded the corner by the P.O.'s, and in a flutter of paper he was again on the ground. P.O. stuffs were everywhere. He had no time to mourn his disadvan-taged position, and in a second he was up and running—this time toward the Administra-tion Building. As Lenny stormed into the building, he ran head-on into the happiest of Cobbers, Deedee Giraffe, knocking her to the floor. Lenny apologized, expecting either a lawsuit or a punch in the nose, but was surprised when Deedee bounced right up, gave him a big hug and ran out of the building looking for another victim. Lenny's first class was Accounting 155 in Old Main. Trying to look as inconspicuous as he could (considering he was running around without a coat in 85 below wind chill), Lenny arrived at class 10 minutes early in order to secure a comfortable seat in the back of the room. During role, Lenny's name was not called. Obviously, Lenny reasoned, that since he had registered late, his name would not appear on the list. When the prof turned out the lights in preparation for a slide show, Lenny began to get nervous. "Slides in ac-counting?" he blurted out. "Accounting," chuckled the prof., "this is human sexu-ality, and these are slides on the history of erotic art." Amid muffled laugher, Lenny hurried out of the room to find his class. After class. Lenny thought he would get a good start on his homework so he headed for the Library. On his way there he noticed something peculiar, EVERYONE WAS SAYING "HI" TO EACH OTHER! Upon further observation, Lenny realized that they were not only saying "hi" to each other, but to anything that even slightly resembled a human being; trees, light poles, and even small animals. By this time Lenny was fed up with Concordia and went to the business office to get money for a plane ride home. When he attempted to cash a check for $151.51 he was promptly shot and killed.* THE END Prologue: Lenny's case is not unique. These "accidental" shootings go on all the time and yet they are always mysteriously covered up. 'Current Business Office policy dictates that no checks may be cashed over the sum of $150. Violators will be dealt with seriously. "SUPERB.
