�AMale Chauvinist
Pig
Aa
people
recently
considered the possibilities or
my being editor or the New
Voice,
r was
repeatedly
confronted w~th the acclJSation
of ha ving problems with women.
I readily edmit that I have had
problems with some women - end
through selective listening one
could assume that 1 have a
problem with ell women.
Please be advised thet
have and do love eome women. My
mother was a woman, my sister
ia a woman, the object of my
love end devotion fo~ eleven
years
or •arriage
was a
woman,
my Favorite school teacher was
a woman and the object or my
silver screen crushes were June
Allison and Kim Novak
both
women
(along
with
Johnny
Weismueller - Tarzan). J have
worked very closely with our
former editor. I have counseled
and performed a Holy
Union
between two women . l have been
rriend to a women that recently
ceme
to
grips
with
her
homosexual nature.
The only
subscription that 1 have ever
aold For the New Voice was to G
woman that works et one or the
placed where I shop. Thls ls
only a partial list or tho
women I have loved.
l have had problems with men
ond women thal do not agree
with me. My greatest problems
with women have been with women
that come across as believ1n9
that who and what they are are
totally
tho result of
the
m1etr-eat111ent or all women by
all men.
These women aeum to think
that since they and women in
general have suffered et the
hands or ~en, thal now they
should have, what J feel are,
1.11earned privlleQea.
I do not accept the guilt
for the wrong doings or ell
other people - whether lt be
the sufrering of women, the
enslev1ng or the blacks, the
persecution of the Jews, the
1.,#'\fair
treatment or
NaLlve
Americana - and the llel goes
on.
Nothing I can do will
remove the lnjustJce or the
past. Any woman, Bleck, Jew or
Native Amerlcan that coo,es to
me as a human being will be
treated according to who they
are. Jr demands are mode baaed
on history, 1 wil I balk. t aleo
do not get long well with gay
inen lhal lie, che t,
expect
special lreetment jusl because
they ore gay.
w~ live jn e wonderful world
in which we can chose Lo like
2
or dislike whomever we want.
Regrettably,
If
we
uae
selective listening,
&ol'fl8one
can be labeled as anti-women,
enli-Block,
anti-Jew,
entiNetlve American, anti-gay. This
ls enhanced by the fact that
when we have a problem w1lh 8
person of any or these groups,
our voices e~e often raised in
anger. When we love, we speak
in softer voices. 1r we could
hear the loving ea clearly as
the
conflict
we
m19ht
understand one another better.
Until then some will cell me a
male chauvinist pig, along with
other titles .

Editor
Feminist Values
Last week e former student
called to tell me how moch ahe
appreciated lne way I incorporate femlntst values into m~
auperviaion of those who work
ror me. We talked a little
while and I thanked her for the
compliment. As 1 hung up the
phone I wondered, "waa lhat
really a complJment?"
l realized ahe meonl it es e
compliment
bul
her
words
brought to the surface my own
conflicts over being known es a
reminist .
I ' in not sure what 11 rem1ntet 0
mean&. Does it mean that I want
nothing lo do with men? Does it
meen that 1 think women ere
better lhan men? Ooea it mean
that I think women are always
viclimi?ed
in
relationehipa
w Ith men 7 Does it mean the t
I
lhink women need specia l breaks
to "make up" for years of being
downtrodden?
Nono
or these questions
reflect my personal bellers but
I know women who support each
of theae positions . For myaelr,
I prefer to vJew lJfe without
much regard lo gender (except
in the choice of a meta). Hy
friends
ere both mele
end
female and as I hlre storr 1
consider their
a kil l a,
not~
their sex .
AJso,
I firmly
believe ln equal appor-tunity,
equal pay for equal work and
allowing people to ua~ their
lelenls
without
regard
lo
gender .
Since these are obviousJy
reminisl values, perhaps the
alllludes I find troublesome
ere more separatist in nature
than strictly feminist. l find
troublesome any attitude which
tends lo keep people opert or
emphasizes an adversary relationship between men and women .
I have difficulty accepting any
altitude which promotes
one
gender as better or worse than
the other.
Hy personal dream ia for a
community
that breaks
down
barri~rs betw- en 11en end wcmen,
e
between
g&ye and
non~g&ye,
smong races or ethnic groups,
between old and
young .
Hy
peraonal
dream
is
for
a
community where there ia no
need to be a feminist and no
need for compliments such as
the one 1 received.

�r Viral Syndrome Clinic: An Interview
(interv1ew by Jerry Peck w1th
Ann lamb, MSW, Social Worker et
the
University of
Nebraska
Medical Center, Viral Syndrome
Clinic.)
(
r
J - Can you &•plain briefly
whal the Viral Syndrome Cl rnic
Is?
A
The Viral
Syndrome
Clinic ia a diagnostic cliniu.
People
come to
the
Viral
Syndrome Clinic or cell Just to
talk because they're concerned
about something around HIV or
the AIDS antibodies or the HJV
virus, end they're concerned
they may have been exposed or
have had a test and been told
they have a positive antibody
ond
they wanl lo talk
to
somebody about whet this means
ond doesn ' t fllftan. they want a
good physical assessment
es
well as a laboratory assessment
to learn i f there have been any
changee in their imMune system,
and so they come 1n to our
clinic..
Also,
our
clinic
follows persons who have ARC
(AIDS
Related Compte,)
and
persons with AIDS.
J - How professional ere the
various
volunteer» who
are
involved in the various AIDS
orgenizationa in Omahe?
A - The volunteers working
tn Omaha
are not from
our
clinic but we do work w1th
them. I think we have e"cel lent
volunleere here in Omaha. We
have two new th1n9a. The Buddy
System which came about because
two people felt very strongly
lhet
we needed a sort
or
Shantee system for the Buddy
System.
We
alao have
the
Interfaith Network which is a
network of churches that came
together and Sandy H., who ls
coord1net1ng their volunteers,
is now starting to work with
the Buddy System. Some people
came in who had professional
experience
1n working
with
persons
with
term1nal
illnesses, though AIDS Is o
whole
dirferent story
I
belleve. It requires o whole
different knowledge base.
I
lhink we need lo distinguish
between
professional
and
capable. We heve very good,
very capable volunteers
end
we're
not
looking
ror
a
volunteer group who would b~
Made up only of professionals
as we call people who are Jn
the helping fields. If someone
who
happens to be in
the
helping f1elds, happens to wont
to do this, I lhink thel's
r1ne, too, if they c°"'plete the
buddy training.
Whal 's
i•portent ts that the volunleer
is someone who cores end is
concerned and ie eensit1ve to
the needs or others.
J - Whet do you advise the
"wor-ried well" lo do lo relieve
the etr~ ,• or not knowing?
A
One of the things I
think the "worried well" needs
to do is to monitor their own
health, not illness. I think
they need to pursue a positive,
good lire slyle. By lhat I mean
suff1c1ent reel. I think a good
nulrillonal
base
Is
reel
impor-tant .
I
think
J t '$
Import nt to enjoy life.
I
think that's the
healthiest
thing that someone can do, to
try
to
talk
about
the1r
feelings, if they cen, with
so~ebody
else.
There
are
support
groups
in
our
communlly. Brother Willlsm is
the beginner of one or these
groups thal haa gotten quite
large. lf you're not a person
who is prone to go to groups,
tr you can find some one person
to talk to about your reelings,
I lhlnk it's really imporlenl.
I don't necessarily advocate
testing at all, but sometimes,
and this ie a new position ror
us, it seems that testing is
the only thing that's going to
take the worry awoy and you
have to th1nk a long
time
berore you do lhia, end look at
what this teal means for you
and doesn' t mean for you, i l
can sometimes take away the
anxiety whether positive
or
negative. ror n,e, working wJth
persons with AIDS has been such
a pleasure and has been so
instructive
a& people
have
taught me to look al whol today
is.
~e
don't
know
about
tomorrow,
end we can't
do
enything
aboul
yesterday,
yesterday's gone, but today is
pleasurable. fhat 's sort of a
fringe benefit lhal puts our
worry to eome good.
J
Hany articles that
hove read sa~ that people wilh
AIDS have gone rrom
facing
death to enjoying llfe. Is this
normal?
A ... Yea,
1 think this is
normal. 1 think there•a a greal
deal of spiritual growth around
lheae
things.
Its
really
rewarding ror ~e to see that. J
think that sometimes in order
to really enJoy lire we have to
eflbrace death. Jhet .1.nformat1on
that a person has a terminal
illness
and
thel
life
expectancy may only be a year
and a half is just a horrendous
message, or course. It.' a very
hard
and
people
are
experiencing a lot or grief but
people I've seen are strong and
they go through their grief and
they move on .
J - Hsny people believe that
if they don ' t Jive in Omaha or
Lincoln that they're safe.
A
You know that I have
absolutely no statistics
to
back thla but there could be a
whole different aet or problems
out state because people don't
hove the advantage of going to
th.e corner drug slore or into a
grocery store ao there might be
less use or condoms, and the~e
mlghl be people who would have
multiple partners ond use the
same condom, so we m1ght see
more happening in rural arees.
J
Also,
the
closeted
nature or their sexual activity
might make that more of
u
concern than a concern over
their health.
A - Oerinilely, Derinitely.
So people might come In later
and there might be more denial
of symptoms, and more contagion
questions.
J - In metropolilen OmahaLincoln areas where does one go
to gel lhe HlLV-111 testing?

New Beginnings
Well, here we 8['e on the
threshold or another year. New
Year resolulions have been made
and some alreedy broken. Aa we
think about how this year will
be dirferent (hoperully better)
than
previous
years,
my
thoughts go lo some t~rme u&ed
by Chru,t1ens. We hear aboul "A
New Birth", ''Being Born Again"
rererr1ng lo the tiine when e
per&on becomes• Christten.
Regretlably some people have
misused lhe terms and
idea
behlnd these lerma. So orten I
have heard someone tell me that
they were born again on some
date out of
antiquity.
In

seem that this wos the last

through

e dependency on God following
the loss or my wife and son. 1
e,cperienced the Love of Cod
when I felt the rejection by

beginnings ror me, and these
new beginnings have not co~e to

for
those in our- c0fflf9Uni ty who may

becotne even more intense.
So
I have
some
simple
suggestions for ways to combat
the reel Inge of eedneaa, lose
and depression that may occur.
Theae ideas are not new and are
often repeated, but cererully
applied, can keep the wlnler
blues to a minimum.
1) Decide to be the one in
charge or your I J re.
Don' l
depend
on
the
whims
end
lmpulaea or others.
2) Avoid isolation.
Make
aur
that each day you are In
contact
with other
pcoplet
whether by phone or In peraon.
)) Look ror ways to
be
Involved. Many organizations In
ou~ CofflfflunJly need volunteers.
Pick up the phonet call, and
say, "How c:an l help?"
4) Avoid large amounls or
sugary
sweets.
Arter
the
initial sugar rush you'll reel
even more down.
S) Cel regular
e,cercise.
WaJk1ng is great -- espec1alJy
if you take l!me to enjoy the
sights along the way.
6) Don't wail for others to
reach out. Take the initiative.
1r you ask one person to join
you for something and they aay
no, then Just ask someone else.
7) If you ever find youraelf
thinking "Life would be better
1f l wasn't &l"ound" o.r have
thoughts of hurting yourself or
any other person, calJ for help
immediately. The Crisis Line is
staffed 24 hours a day al )419111 or )41-9112. Your place in
this world is important. Oon•t
leave it.

At

our

meet the coat of producing the

We do not wish to increase our
advertising rates to place a

The
only
logical
solution ia to print

This pleces us in a "Catch

we

The only
