1 I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord, and across the sky flashed scenes from my life. For each scene, I noticed two sets of foot prints in the sand; one belonged to me, and the other to the Lord. When the last scene of my life flashed before us, I looked back at the footprints in the sand. I noticed that many times along the path of my life there was only one set of foot prints. I also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and the saddest times of my life. I questioned the Lord about it. “Lord, You said that once I decided to follow You, You would walk with me all the way. But I’ve noticed that during the most troublesome times of my life, there is only one set of footprints. I don’t understand why, in times when I needed You most, You would leave. ” The Lord replied, “My precious child, I would never leave you during your times of trial and suf fering. When you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.” ABOUT WOMEN Coed? No way! Mills College, one of the nation’s oldest colleges for women in Oakland, California, will soon join the ranks of the numerous learning institutions which have inte grated their student body in order to stay in business. 138 years of tradition as a women’s college will come to an end when in the Fall of 1991 men will be admitted as undergraduates. According to a New York Times report (May 5, 1990), only 93 colleges will remain solely women’s colleges in the country, down from nearly 300 in 1960. But the students of Mills College are not taking the decision of the trustees sitting down. A full scale protest has errupted and the students have vowed to shut the school down, hoping to reverse the unfavorable deci sion. Students cite studies which show that women educated in women’s colleges are more apt to achieve higher positions in private and public sectors. Students also fear that men would take over the leadership on the campus and change the dynamics in the classroom to their advantage and to the detriment of the women. It is interesting to note though, that Mills College has admitted men as graduate students since the 1930’s. I five la difference! A petition signed by 150 students at Wellesley Col lege, a prestigious women’s college in Boston’s suburb, protested the invitation of First Lady Barbara Bush as the graduating class’ commencement speaker. “To honor Barbara Bush as a commencement speaker is to honor a woman who has gained recognition through the achievements of her husband, which contravenes what we have been taught over the last four years at Welles ley,” read the petition. The big questions here of course is whether Mrs. Bush is the proper role model for the young women about to graduate. Actually, she was not the first choice as of the Wellesley’s seniors, who voted last spring to invite Alice Walker, the feminist who wrote “The Color Purple,” but declined the invitation. However, Mrs. Bush was not at all upset about the outspoken opinions of some of the members of the gra duating class. Being the gracious and understanding lady that she is, Mrs. Bush said: “ I chose to live the life I’ve lived, and I think it’s been a fabulously exciting, interesting, involved live. In my day, they probably would have been considered different. In their day, I’m consi dered different. Vive la differece.” Видання C оюзу Українок A мерики - перевидано в електронному форматі в 2012 році . A рхів C У A - Ню Йорк , Н . Й . C Ш A.
