cs _ Castlegar News June 16, 1986 Students survey your advertising sex roles VERNON (CP) Okan agan children believe in dis tinet, separate and often un equa! roles for males and fe- males, but young women are showing a new confidence in their own identities. These conclusions are drawn from surveys conduc ted among Okanagan school children in Grades 1 through 13. A total of 720 children, two-thirds from high schools, in Vernon, Kelowna and Summerland were interview. ed late last year The surveys were done by sociology students at Okan agan College The children were asked to reply in writing to the ques tion? “If you woke up to morrow and discovered that you were a (boy) (girl), how would your life be different?” Helen Douglas, a sociology instructor at the college, said the survey was modelled on a study first done in 1982 by Dr. Alive Baumgartner in Colorado. Brumgartner found in interviews with 2,000 chil dren that despite a decade of feminism, both sexes thought the life of a boy was pre ferable. The results of the Okan agan surveys closely resem bled the findings of the Col orado survey but there was evidence of a greater tol erance for the female role by said they found the time girls spent enhancing their ap pearance a bore and an one rous obligation. “No more makeup to do, wouldn't have to get up so early before school,” said a Grade 11 girl “I would be neatly dressed with makeup spread on my face in great globs of blue and purple,” said one boy However, unlike the Bau mgartner study, there were some indications that boys had to pay more attention to their appearance. Mengele felt bound “I guess I wouldn't mind being a boy, but only if I epuld look like a rock star,” said a 13-year-old girl. “It's tough being an unattractive yy - Menstruation, pregnancy and childbearing were seen as hateful by the boys and problematic by the girls. “Girls have a responsibility and boys don't,” said a Grade 12 girl. “Girls go through the toughest part of life; we have to have babies, carry them for nine months and many more things. I think it would be neat, for we wouldn't have half of the responsibility. being a boy.” Some girls noted, however, that boys also have physical demands placed on them. ‘MORE MUSCLES’ “I would have to get taller and get more muscles be cause if I didn't I would be called a wimp,” said a Grade 9 girl In terms of behavior, boys felt they would be restricted if they became girls. Some girls felt they would be liber ated, yet feared the coarse ness and ready-for-trouble image projected by boys. The survey showed work expectations of boys and girls are different, with the com- mon belief men are expected to go farther in education and earn more money. “Now I'd have to be a nurse instead of a doctor,” said a Grade 6 boy. A commonly held belief was that job opportunities are better for men than women. One Grade 9 girl said men had an easier time get- ting a job or promotion and didn't have to deal with the assumption of being “a stupid woman who doesn't know what to do.” Douglas said she found en- couraging evidence in the Okanagan survey that the philosophy of the women's movement had begun to filter down to girls and raised their appreciation for their own sex to protect father NEW YORK (AP) — The son of the late Nazi war criminal Josef Mengele said Tuesday his father’s legacy disgusts him, but he would help hide him again if given the change. “I would do it again like this. I would never betray my father,” said lawyer Rolf Mengele in an appearance on the Phil Donahue television show The younger Mengele last saw his father in Sao Paulo, Brazil, in 1977, two years before Josef Mengele suf. fered a stroke while swim ming and drowned The younger Mengele had taken money to his father in Brazil. The elder Mengele, known as the “Angel of Death,” has been blamed for the deaths of more than 400,000 prisoners at the Auschwitz camp in Nazi-oceupied Poland during the Second World War His remains were un. covéred last year in Brazil Rolf Mengele said his father told him he did not “invent the concentration camp. He thought he was on duty. It was an order.” The son said his mother had raised him to believe that what was written about his father were lies. When he learned the ex tent of his father's crimes, he struggled with his conscience before deciding to help hide him, he said “I'm really disgusted about what he brought to my life. I would have preferred another father.” Still, he felt honor bound to protect his father while he lived, he said. Rolf Mengele operated with researchers investigating his father’s activities, demanding only that part of the proceeds of any book or magazine article go to the survivors of Men gele’s medical experiments He has been cut off from the rest of the Mengele family, he said. has co * HAVE YOU DRIVEN A FORD LATELY? + (MUNDERBIRD Ford Country Headquarters’ HOURS: Mon.ri. 8 a.m. p.m. Sat 6-6 Vehicles. *LTO « DIESEL Volume Discounts. «MUSTANG + RANGER LTO CHECK US OUT Large Inventory in stock Over 110 New and Used | Protessional People to Assist you PHONE COLLECT 364-0202 pry 0S74 0H « 140983 + .
