QUOTEof the WEEK

Confronting fears and XenaBy JENN ZELLERS

Editor-in-Chief

T wo week ago, I boardeda plane for Los Angeles,CA todo two things.The

firstwas to confrontmy fear ofamusement park rides. And thesecond was to make an annualtrek tooneof thosefanconven-tions.Yes,I’mnotafraidtoadmitmyinnergeek.

First things first, the amuse-ment park fear is not what youthink. I love amusement parks.Thecharacters,theatmosphere—it’sallfun.ButIreallydon’tliketherides.Itallstartedoverade-cade ago when my best friendandIwenttothe4-Hfair.

Acoupleofspinningrideslat-er,Isworeoffanytypeofamuse-mentparkridesfortherestofmylife, includingFerriswheelsandmerry-go-rounds.

ButIwent,Isaw,Iconqueredmy fear of rides. That was thetheme of the weekend after all.Andyoucan’tjustgotoDisney-landandnotrideonanyrides.It’ssacrilegious.

IhaveneverbeentoaDisneypark before. So when I startedplanningmyannualtripwestlastyear,Idecidedtotackonanex-tra day to take in Disneyland. Idecided, Imightaswellascon-querthisfearofamusementparkrides.

FirstupwasSpaceMountain.The darkness probably curedwhateverfearImighthavehad,itwasafunride.Ienjoyedmyself.Imadeitoutalive.IfIcouldhan-dlethatride,Icanhandlealmostanyride—orsoIthought.

The Pirates of the Caribbeanridewas also a fun ride. It’s onthe water and is mostly anima-tronics,sonobigdangerlurkingwith Jack Sparrow and Black-beard.Theattractionwasredonea few years back to add in thepopularcharactersfromthemov-ie trilogy. Complete with waterexplosions,gunbattlesandsing-ingpirates,itwasawesomefun.

Ah,theIndianaJonesAdven-ture Ride came next. I think I

blindlyfollowedmyfriendsintothe line not fully knowingwhatweweredoing.

WhenmyfriendSarahbailedon us, I knew then that thiswasn’t a ride I should considerdoing.Nervous?Yes.Notaroll-er coaster, whew! But it was abumping,fastandwildturnssortofridewhichmademystomachqueasywhilemakingthewayupthelong,windingropelacedtrail.

Ialmostkickedmyselfoutofline, fearing that I can’t handleit.Isuckeditupandboardedtheride with my friends Paul andCindy. After all, I didn’t spend$110 for admission (and trans-portation from my hotel to thepark) for nothing. I’m going tomake themost ofmy tripwest,even if I have be picked up offthegroundtodoit.

Carpechakram!IsurvivedtheIndyride,which

revitalized my desire to see themovies and as I write this, I’msportingmycoolIndyfedorahat.I received compliments back atthehotel fromeveryone, includ-inghotelstaffthatprobablygotakickoutthreeofusstandingnextto each wearing the same exact

hat.And I conquered my fear of

amusement park rides. Though,Idon’t thinkyou’llcatchmeona roller coaster anytime soon.I’mstillnotupforthatyet.ButIknowthatIcangoonmerry-go-roundsandFerriswheelswithoutfearofgettingsick.

Ofcourse,mytripwestwasn’ttojustseeMickeyandhisfriends,itwastakepartinatimehonoredtraditionofthefanconvention.

Okay. Get the laughs out.Callme a geek, nerd,whatever.You can’t call me anything thatI haven’t been called before. Itcomeswiththeterritory.

If there’s one thing about aXena convention,it’sthatwecanformourownUnitedNations.

TALK | Author Jane Latour spoke at IU South Bend last week about women and labor.

By REBECCA GIBSONStaff Writer

Asmallgroupgatheredforla-borjournalistJaneLatour’stalkontheimportanceofrecognizingwomen’s contribution to laborhistory.

Latour showed her audiencethat seeing the forest of rightstakenforgrantedcansometimesmakeonemiss thetrees thatarethewomenwhowonthoserightstobeginwith.

“EverypersonIchosewasanorganizer,” said Latour. “Theyallmade huge efforts to changetheir working conditions, forthemselves and for their work-

mates.”Latour told of Brenda Berk-

man, the first female firefighterinNewYork,andofthechangesandchallengesthatfollowedherthroughouther24yearcareer.

“Brenda realized that we[women]havetoorganizeforoursurvival,”saidLatour.

Berkman founded the UnitedWomenFirefightersorganization,andwas responsible for institut-ing workplace changes such asfreedomfromsexualharassment,andtherecognitionofwomenasaviableworkplacegroupalong-side other groups such as theBlackandLatinounions.

AtBerkman’sretirementcere-mony,afterhavingmadetherankof Captain, she recognized theway historyworks both for andagainst thewomen’smovement,and expressed her appreciationofhowlongittakesforanyrealchangetooccur.

“The women’s movement isamarathonnotasprint,”Latour

quotesBerkmanassaying.Latour, along with the wom-

en she has profiled in her book“Sisters in theBrotherhoods,” isan advocate for all the womeninblue-collar jobs, the so-callednon-traditional jobs. These arejobs thatmay not be glamorousoreasy,butthatarenecessaryforthefunctioningofsociety—sani-tation workers, plumbers, elec-tricians, construction workers,andworkerswho run the phonelines—amongmanymore.

Throughout the history ofthese jobs,mostof thepositionswere and still are held by men.Although Latour’s book most-ly profiles women who startedworking in the ‘70s, the trendofwomen gaining, and holding,roles traditionally held by menbeganduringtheWorldWars.

“I call thesewomen ‘Rosie’sDaughters’becausetheyallcameafterRosietheRiveter,”saidLa-tour.

During their careers, Rosie’s

Daughters have fought for, andwon, the right to be hired andworkwhile pregnant, the abilityto have a non-hostile work en-vironment, andhavemadegreatstridestowardpayequity.

“It used to be somethinglike…46 cents to every dollarthat men made,” said Latour.“Now,it’supnear76or78.”

However, Latour emphasizesthatthisisnowhereclosetogoodenough, and thatmany employ-erswillwatchas awomancon-sistently undersells herself withregard to wages, automaticallyvaluingherowntimeatlessthanher male counterparts. Addedto that is the systematic favorit-ismwhichresultsinmenreceiv-inglargerraisesandpromotions,more hours overall, and moreovertime, and the effect ismas-sivepayinequity.

ThisisonereasonthatLatour,and thewomen inherbook, areactivists. They make sure thatwomen know their options, andin fact that they have these op-

tions,whenitcomestoapproach-ing employers for raises. Also,theyadvocateresearchingindus-trystandardswhenapplyingforapositionasitisdifficulttoreceiveequity if the applicant does notknowwhathermalecounterpartsare receiving in terms of salaryandbenefits.

“There is a tendency forwomen in these jobs to be seenas tokens; we can’t help that,”saidLatour.“Buttheystartthesejobs, and they find they actu-allylikethem!Thereissomuchprideintheircraft,andtheyfindtheworkbeautiful.”
