The University of Nebraska Medical Center and Omaha’s Creighton University need about 110 cadavers a year and feel that they do not get as much milage on an imitation as they do with the real thing. The shortage of cadavers has forced five or six students to use one body at a time. The corpses are used for the same things at both the dental and medical schools. To donate one’s body, the donor’s signature and the signatures of two witnesses are required. Donors are assured that their corpses will be treated with respect. PROOFS OF YEARBOOK PORTRAITS Ready for Showing Monday Marks Hall By Stephanie Rosen For many reasons, male and female stereotypes among them, men and women have problems on the job, said Carol Pierce, a partner of New Dynamics Associates (NDA). Pierce and David Wagner, a consultant from Burlington, Vt.,presented a program titled Men and Women at Work at the Equal Employment Opportunity- Women’s Programs and Services Search presentation Sept. 27-28, Washington, D.C. While the white middle-class American male is expected to be successful, financially in dependent, sexually attractive, physically productive (fix things) and knowledgeable, his female counterpart is expected to be sexually attractive and youthful, nice, caring, warm, passive and dependent. Pierce and Wagner said. As females have been con ditioned to be dependent, they need to obtain approval from men before doing a job because they are supposed to be more knowledgeable, stated Pierce. The belief that men are all knowing is inculcated in females at an early age, said Wagner. “My little girl asked me to fix a toy for her the other day, and even though I knew I could’t I tried, anyway because as a male I was expected to. I finally told her I couldn’t fix the toy, and she was amazed because ‘fathers are supposed to be able to fix things,”’ he said. Women have the opposite pressure affecting them especially while on the job. Piexce stated successful women are sometimes considered un feminine and may be ridiculed by male coworkers. As a result, women tend to be overly critical of themselves and often set their goals too low. Wagner said he believes men ridicule women at work because men relate to women only as mothers, wives, or daughters. He continued: if men view women as collaborators in business instead of as ad versaries then a comfortable working atmosphere is possible. NDA makes an attempt to break down male and female stereotypes during three or tour day seminars that include these elements: Customized design (analyzing the problems and developing a plan);support from the executives (a willingness to change); collaboration versus confrontation (cooperation in stead of conflict); and focus on employees’ and employers’ needs.
