Clack Panther Party chairman Bobby
Scale will speak at 8 p.m. Thursday in
Memorial Hall under joint sponsorship of
the BSM and the Carolina Forum.
Tickets, SI, are available at the Union
desk.
A 1973 Democratic candidate lor mayor
of Oakland, Calif., Seale has largely
modified the revolutionary stance for which
he was known in the 60s.
Running on a platform that stressed racial
cooperation, expanded local services and
ghetto improvement programs, Seale said:
The excessive rhetoric of three years ago
just wasn't conducive to our revolutionary
struggle. We're not dogmatic we want
change, not anarchy.
Seale first came into public notice when he
and Huey Newton formed the Black Panther
Party for Seif-Defense to protect blacks
against police brutality in 1966.
The party was overtly revolutionary at
first but now maintains a lower profile.
Under Seale's leadership, the Panthers direct
an impressive list of public-service projects.
Lollipop
by Alan Murray
Feature Writer,
Is Dr. Seuss. a male chauvinist? Are Jane and Sally the products of a
dehumanizing sex-role socialization process?
There is little doubt about the answers to these questions in the minds of Kim
Chapman and Elaine Becton, members of Lollipop Power, Inc.
Lollipop Power, a local women's collective attempting to combat sex-role
stereotyping at a primary level, uses one of the most influential forces molding
children's attitudes and beliefs picture books.
"Children take very literally what they read, especially if they read it themselves,"
Chapman told a large group of predominantly female students during a Women's
Festival seminar last week.
Many picture books seem to say that females are less important or at least less
interesting to write about than males, she said.
"In a recent study of prize-winning Caldecott picture books," Chapman said, "it
was found there were 1 1 pictures of males for every one picture of a female. Adding
pictures of animals with obvious sex identities, the bias becomes even greater. The
ratio of male to female animals is 95 to 1."
When females were depicted, their roles were usually passive, Chapman said. "It
was Dick and Spot who were always running around and doing things. Jane and
Sally just watched or cried for help,"
She illustrated the sexist stereotypes which are presented to young readers in their
books. Some were specific in their sex role descriptions.
"Boys invent things," one book said. "Girls use what boys invent. Boys fix things.
Girls need things fixed. Boys build houses. Girls keep houses."
Another book told how boys might aspire to be doctors so they can save people's
lives. Similarly, girls might' hope to be nurses so they can wear pretty white dresses.
In some instances, the sexism' is taken to extremes. One Dry Seuss book, for
example, refers to a hen as "he."
Operating on a non-profit, tax-exempt basis, Lollipop Power is attempting to
provide parents with an alternative to sexist literature which, Chapman believes, is
influencing the attitudes of children. They have published 10 soft-cover books to
date. Each attempts to depict characters in "egalitarian situations where traditional
sex-roles are negated."
. One Lollipop book tells of a lady farmer who "experiences the seasons and cycles
of life with her sheep." Another book, The Magic Hat, by Chapman, is a story about
how some toys arbitrarily came to be designated as girls' toys and others as boys'.
In many ways, the Lollipop stories are

Arrogance
The Carolina Union will present
Arrogance in concert at 8 p.m. Friday, Feb.

Tickets, $1, are available at the Union

The four-man band features guitar, bass,
piano and drums, and their performance
highlights a distinctive southern-flavored
folk-rock music with hits from the album
Give Us A Break and songs from their
forthcoming album.
WUNC-TV will tape the concert for later

This is the only Chapel Hill appearance of
Arrogance during February. The group has
kids'
plots are dribbly and the language simplistic. Like all Dr. Seuss and Little Golden
books, they are permeated with weak sentimentalism, doting, human-like animals
and ugly monsters.
But their distinction is glaringly evident you won't find women wearing aprons
in these books.
Lollipop Power makes no pretense of presenting a balanced view of sex roles in
their books. They feel, however, that it's necessary to make a strong'statement in
order to counteract the stereotyping forces which children regularly face on TV, in
school and in other books.
They also stress that, although they are a women's collective, their works are not
intended for females only.
"Boys are affected just as much by this stereotyping as girls," Chapman says. One
of the group's more recent books, Grown-ups Cry Too, is about a boy who learns
that it isn't sissy to cry.
The'members meet once a week to discuss business. No one in the.group is paid
except the distributor.
Lollipop Power now sells over 500 books a month. They sell for about $ l .50 each
but are donated to day care centers. The collective organization prohibits them
from expanding greatly, even though the market appears to be large. They do hope
to publish their books in hardback sometime in the future.
Since they have shown there is a market for non-sexist children's literature, it is
possible that a larger publisher will want to absorb their operation. Chapman said.
Merging with a large corporation would enable their books to reach more
youngsters; however, it is doubtful the collective will sell out.
"We like the collective," she said. "We like to have our own power."

Call them Kathy, Jerry and Jeremy. 1 h;ir
last names do not matter because they 2 it
not al'ovved to use them.
They call where they live "in the
community and where we live "on the
outside.
The three people, two females and one
male, are members of the Twin Oaks
commune, and they came to UNC last
Thursday to discuss their living
arrangement.
Twin Oaks is a community based on the
novel Walden Two by B.F. Skinner. But.
Jeremy said, "We're not as intensely into
behavior as Skinner would probably like us
to be."
There is a strong de-emphasis of private
ownership among the 64 members of Twin
Oaks. Even their clothes are placed in one
large room, which becomes a communal
closet.
"Essentially no major material good is
owned individually," Jeremy said.
The concept of public property extends all
the way up to personal relationships. "I don't
belong to you you don't belong to me,"
Jerry explained, smiling as she did
throughout the discussion.
Twin Oaks was founded in June 1968 on
an inherited farm in Louisa County, Va.,
northwest of Richmond. Only one of the
original nine members still lives there.
Kathy, Jerry and Jeremy may have been
protesting the Vietnam war or studying in
college when Twin Oaks began. Kathy, an
athletic looking person with short blonde
hair and wire-rimmed glasses, knows the
community inside-out, despite having
'moved in only six months ago.
- Jerry explained the economic system,
sitting cross-legged on a table before about
50 students.
He said each person works approximately
48 hours a week for work credits. One
receives more credits for doing unpleasant
jobs like washing dishes and weeding the
garden than for jobs that are enjoyable.
The community's main industry is making
'hammocks, and they sold about 3,000 last
year. In addition, they do printing, lectures
and some contracting.
Just the same, some members have to
submit to outside work, which consists of
finding a job ia Richmond. The goal of total
self-sufficiency is still about two years away.

Jerry is the "biological mother" of one of
the three children at Twin Oaks. The infants
are a new experiment there, and they are
taken care of in a recently completed
communal nursery.
When the community decided they were
ready for a baby, they asked at a meeting,
"Who wants to have a baby?" Jerry raised
her hand and said "I Hr"
A stall of ctiiht "medits" (tlK-ir word lor
"nurse") take care ol the children. Jerr
decided not to become a "meda." but she sees
her daughter at least tvo hours eei d.i.
Two of the medas are men, show my the
abolition of sex roles in the community.
Kathy proudly announced she is the head
plumber at Twin Oaks, and two other
women are learning to operate the diesel
backhoe, a piece of heavy construction
machinery.
Twin Oaks allows no illegal drugs. They
do not forbid drinking. But few members
drink. An introductory pamphlet states that
because many people there are trying to quit
cigarette smoking, visitors are asked to
refrain.
There is room for 10 overnight guests, w ho
pay $2 per night, and these spaces are often
filled. Although Jerry felt that having
constant visitors is exasperating, she said it
was a commitment they had made to the
outside.
Last summer over 500 people crowded
Twin Oaks for a week-long conference to
discuss the commune's objectives with the
general public.
Usually a visitor is not permitted to stay
too long as a boarder. If he is really
interested in the commune, however, he can
apply to remain two more weeks, working as
a regular member.
Life is not all free of form on the inside.
There is a structured government, composed
of planners and managers. They call them
"zippities" and "doodahs." Jeremy insisted
that a planner receives no special privileges
and it is often difficult to recruit a member to
be one. ' '
"We have an attitude of really uSing
structure to our benefit," Jeremy said. "But
we don't make a god of structure or
anything."
The Twin Oaks version of volleyball
probably best illustrates the structured
freedom in the community. No one keeps
score, and the rotation is over the entire
court. There are no permanent teams.
