Thanks, and do keep posting the schedule.
I've heard the program a few times ... interesting people.

Can we post who and what we would like to hear in this note?

My druther:

I'd like to hear linguists discuss language and women ...
say, how researchers find that female and male speech differs and
the affect of sexist and nonsexist language.

	       =============================

	Just for clarification for me, could you explain
	whether you mean language (eg english) used in a
	(non)sexist manner, or whether you are refering to
	languages that include gender such as french and 
	german.

	Thanks.

    
    
    	Hi,
    
    	I think that the topic needs to be considered in 
    	Colorado.  I have a voice at our Public Radio 
    	Station; I seek your opinions on the virtues presenting 
    	the feminist viewpoint to the public in Colorado.  We are having
    	a meeting on Saturday and I will speak up.  Any chance of a
    	feed from Boston!

      Kelly, a few years back KRCC did have a feminist talk show on
      weekend mornings. I think the problem was that the DJ left the
      area and the show died. Ask Mario, I think he was there when the
      show was on. liesl

I'd really be interested in the topic of women
and sports.  Specifically, women's progress in
athletics, and athletic administration, the
effects of the 1984 Grove City vs Bell decision
(in regards to the narrowing of title IX), and
the constant (and unjust) association 
with female athleticism and homosexuality.

    	Thanks liesl,
    
    	I'll work this topic.!

Re .7

    I believe   that   the  "Civil  Rights  Restoration  Act"  of  87?
    effectively  overruled  the Grove City case. There's still lots to
    discuss of course. For a related topic, see Arthur Ashe's books on
    blacks in sports called "A Long Road to Glory".

    How about women musicians in Boston? How about specifically women
    in jazz in Boston?

    Hi everyone,
    
    I just got back from vacation. Otherwise, I would have replied sooner.
         
    Kelly, sorry I couldn't provide the feed from Boston for your meeting
    last Sat. How did it go?
    
    Thanks to everyone for the *great* ideas! I'll bring them to the
    collective this week and report back asap.
