RUS Will Leaflet At Speech By Anti-Feminist

By Sandra E. Cavazos

Radcliffe Union of Students (RUS) members will stand outside the Kennedy School Forum and distribute leaflets protesting the views of self-avowed anti-feminist Phyllis Schlafly when Schlafly speaks there Thursday. Elizabeth Einaudi '83, president of RUS, said yesterday.

Schafley, who is best known for her opposition to the Equal Rights Amendment, will address the question. "Do We Want a Gender-Free Society?"

"It is extremely ironic that she is preaching that a woman's place is in the home at the side of her husband. Meanwhile, she's running around the country making speeches." Einaudi said, yesterday.

Einaudi called Schlafly, who opposes the current law legalizing abortion, "a totally unrealistic woman whose views are too ancient to work in today's society."

"Women should have the same pay and the same opportunities that men do and Schlafley's denial of these rights ignores the basic problems of the current economy and lifestyle. Einaudi said.

Schlafly was unavailable for comment yesterday.
