OUR LIFE MONTHLY, published by Ukrainian National Women’s League of America Vol. XXXVI April 1979 No. 4 CHRYSTOS VOSKRES — CHRIST HAS RISEN WOMAN VIEWS AND VIEWS IN A WOMAN’S WORLD MOTRIA KUSHNIR One and one-half years ago, the Food and Drug Administration announced its intention to propose regu lations on cosmetics. For Diane Breau, however, the FDA’s soon-to-be-announced regulations on eye make up will come too late. Breau lost her right eye to what’s being called “mascara blindness.” She had used pro ducts manufactured by the Maybelline Company and Dart Industries. Research from as far back as 13 years ago has linked certain eye problems to mascara. The FDA, nevertheless, has been very slow in moving toward regu lation in this area. According to a 1977 study in the Journal of Ophthalmology, inadequate preservatives in the mascara brands examined were a major factor in the contamination of the products. The authors of the study — Drs. Wilson and Ahearn — concluded that the ef fectiveness of the preservatives currently used and the shelf life of cosmetics should be reconsidered. The authors recommend that cosmetic companies market less mascara per tube and that they sell only tubes with disposable brushes. Users of today’s eye makeup, they write, should avoid the following prac tices for the reasons described: 1) adding water hastens the breakdown of the preservatives; 2) failing to sterilize an old applicator before inserting it into a refill in creases the probability of microbial contamination. According to golfer Jack Nicklaus, American men are losing their standing on the International Pro-Golf Tour. And he has even figured out why this is hap pening. The problem, the clear-thinking champ feels, is that increasing numbers of women golfers are using the courses in the United States. “There’s nothing wrong with the ladies, God bless them; let them play,” opined Jack to reporters. “But what they’re doing is eliminating much of the available time when young players can get on the course.” Which just goes to show you that the Bakke syndrome — or, as the condition is commonly called, the reverse discrimination blues — can strike persons in all walks of life. All we can say is, Jack, old sport, why don’t you eliminate yourself from those golf courses to free up some of that available time for those nice young players? Linda Ettinger’s story is familiar to us all. While at college, she fell in love with Jeff, a pre-med student. They married, he went on to full-time medical studies while she worked and supported them both. During those first, lean years of their marriage, he earned $2,000 and she earned $51,000. To do so, she tem porarily dropped out of her own graduate courses since, the couple had agreed she would have her turn after he graduated. Instead, on becoming Dr. Ettinger, Jeff left Linda. So, she is now suing him for breach of contract. Theirs is but one of several landmark cases which will have a major impact on divorce and contract law. The Supreme Court, on March 6, decided that it was unconstitutional for states to authorize alimony for women while denying such payments to men. The
