familiar names can be found in the top five spots.

Aimie Chernoff won the girls 50-metre freestyle event and Wen- de Gouk was second while Amy Rodgers came fifth.

In the boys 50-free, SHSS swept the top six with Neil Jones, Tim Austin, Dan Fodor, Mario Fehrenberg, Justin Phillips and Mike Martin placing in that order.

Before the season, Balahura said Nelson schools would be his team’s toughest challengers and despite the slaughter, he’s not counting them out yet.

“Yeah, I did think they were going to be, but in all fairness they were missing a couple of boys for their relay team and we had a full complement, so that contributed to the results,"’ he said.

Regardless of how SHSS does iff Warmup meets, Balahura said it all comes down to two very impor- tant competitions — regionals in Nelson Nov. 4 and, of course, provincials at the University of B.C. Nov. 16 and 17.

The regionals, said Balahura, will give him a chance to deter- mine where the team stands prior to the provincials and a chance to compare his swimmers’ times to standards set at previous provin- cials.

Balahura said at least 12 SHSS swimmers should qualify for Provincials.

Equality

VANCOUVER (CP) — Women have made important strides in achieving equality in the last 20 years, but there’s still much to be done, the dean of law at the University of Vic- toria said.

“*We must guard against the feeling that the resort to courts and politicians will be the quick fix that so many of us dream about,”’ said Maureen Maloney. She was the keynote speaker at the annual fun- draising breakfast for the west coast chapter of the Legal Education Ac- tion Fund, or LEAF

“Years of treatment of women as second-class citizens will not disap- Pear overnight.""

About 800 people attended the breakfast, which marked the 61st an- niversary of Person’s Day. On Oct. 18, 1929, the British Privy Council confirmed the status of women as persons capable of being judges and senators.

Similar fundraisers were held in Ontario in Sudbury, Kingston, Lon- don and Toronto, and in Calgary, Edmonton, Charlottetown and Halifax. LEAF’s national office, based in Toronto, said total attendan- ce at all nine events was expected to be about 6,000.

The organization promotes equality for women, primarily using the sex equality provisions of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

The group, which has taken on nearly 60 equality rights cases, was founded in 1985. It has about 1,500 across Canada.

Maloney said women have achieved Positions of power, there are more women in the workforce, the wage gap between men and women has narrowed, and outright discriminatory practices have been eliminated by human rights legislation and the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

But she said the number of women in positions of power still is meagre and at the current rate at which the wage gap is closing — five per cent every 20 years — parity won’t be achieved until the year 3050.

The speech by Maloney, the first woman dean of law in British Colum- bia and the second in Canada, was Peppered with literary references. There was also a line from the late rock singer Janis Joplin.

“*She says ‘what are we ladies but

closer, new dean says

waitresses at the banquet of life?’ As this morning shows, many of use have made it to the banquet but we only get to sit at the head table if we organize the event ourselves,”’ said Maloney.

“*Moreover, the vast majority of us are white and from very privileged backgrounds.”

The plight of immigrant women — notably those working as domestics, in farm labor and in the garment in- dustry — needs addressing, said Maloney.

‘Their working conditions are sub- standard, their pay abysmal and their future prospects bleak

“‘A notion of equality that refuses to take into account the .existing inequalities of wealth, the lack of equal access to education and job training is, in the immortal words of Shak ec, a loud di

nothing.’

She got the loudest applause when she said “‘abortion should be a matter of personal choice.’*

Maloney, 34, said she has been well-accepted as dean of law. But she drew laughter when she told the audience her ‘‘favorite story’’ about the job.

“I was in my old office and the

movers — Ill call them Joe and Harry to protect the innocent — knocked on the door and I invited them in and Harry said ‘wrong room, we were looking for the new dean.”

“*I said ‘it is me.” Joe, his partner, unable to contain himself, said ‘but you're a lady.” I told him I could only admit to being a woman.””

Since becoming dean recently, Maloney said in an interview, she has often been invited to speak to women’s groups

“It’s pretty frantic but I think it’s Pretty important that as a role model I go out and make speeches.”
