His columns on\n\"America's Illusion\" will appear in\nthis space every Tuesday and Thurs-\nday and in the Comment section on\nSunday.\nA vulgar, exuberant, exaggerated\nuse of language has always been a\ntrait of Americans, a sign of national\nvitality. Big dreams for a big land;\ngreat expectations, frontiers yonder,\nExtravagance of speech turned out,\noften, to be understatement.\nBut those were rules for when the\nland was young. Something of a sur-\nprise, to discover in our incipient\nadulthood — in the Sixties an enor-\nmous appetite for guilt, self-pity, and\nself-hatred.\nThere is a rabbinical story about\nthe cantor who stands before the\nTorah, smiting his breast, saying\nloudly: \"I am as nothing! I am as\nnothing!\" The rabbi nudges his as-\nsistant, and in a loud whisper rasps:\n\"Look who thinks he's nothing\nYOU\nAmericans today use hyperbole to\nconfess how awful we have been. Has\never an educated class groveled in\ndeeper self-flagellation than our own\nintellectual class since 1964? Racists,\nmilitarists, counterrevolutionaries,\nimperialists, pigs, hypocrites, liars,\ncheats, sexists, white oppressors of\nthe world - all these some have\ncalled themselves (or, more exactly,\ntheir parents) in the last dozen years.\nLook who's calling themselves sin-\nners.\nPART OF THIS extravagance, of\ncourse, arises from the fundamental-\nism, the vivid lights and darks, of\nblack religion. Shocked by the rise of\nblack consciousness since 1963 or so,\nmany Americans have learned new\nemotive cadences. So great an im-\npression has the black experience\nmade upon other Americans that it\nhas become almost normative for\nunderstanding all our experiences.\nAs the nation began in the guilt of\nlavery, so all our analyses now\nbegin in self-accusation. Racism: the\noriginal sin.\nNo movement has suffered more\nfrom being forced into this mold than\nthe women's movement. Women in\nour society are not, and have not\nbeen, in the position of blacks. The\nblack experience is not an adequate\nmodel for understanding the experi-\nence of women. This model leads to\nerroneous, destructive theories.\nTake our word \"oppression.\" The\nword had an awesome quality when\nused for the destruction of 6 million\nJews and millions of others in Hit-\nler's death camps. It has such a\nquality when used of the 60 million\npolitical prisoners and murdered vic.\ntims of the Gulag Archipelago.\n\"Oppression\" also carries weight\nwhen used of slavery. Less so, when\nit-is used for the system of segrega-\ntion and \"Jim Crow\" after Recon-\nstruction. Later, \"discrimination\"\nseems like the better word.

The new Act which was signed by President Ford last October will take effect October 28. It makes\nthe Federal Reserve responsible for writing and implementing regulations. Enforcement is the responsibility\nof the Federal Trade Commission, the Federal Reserve Board, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation,\nthe Comptroller of the Currency and nine other Federal agencies. The Act covers all who regularly extend\ncredit to individuals including banks, finance companies, department stores, credit card issuers and\ngovernment agencies such as the Small Business Administration. The Board also announced a hearing on the\nproposed regulation to be held before Members of the Board beginning May 28. The Board will receive\nwritten comment on its proposed regulation-to be designated Regulation B-through June 30. In making\nits proposal, the Board said: \"The proposed regulation attempts to reconcile the statutory goal of equal\naccess to credit-without regard to sex or marital status-with the need to preserve the creditor's ability to\ndistinguish, in his own judgment, between applicants that are, or are not, creditworthy. For example, the\nproposed regulation would not permit a creditor to downgrade an applicant merely because the applicant\nwas divorced. But it would allow the creditor to decide whether an applicant's ability to repay had been\nimpaired by divorce or other change in marital status. The Board has attempted in the proposed\nregulation-issued after extensive consultation with women's groups, other consumers and creditors-to\nfacilitate both broader and fairer access to credit.\" The principal ways in which the proposed regulation\nwould affect the practices of creditors include:\n-Credit Scoring on the Basis of Marital Status. The draft would forbid making it a rule that married persons\nare more creditworthy than unmarried persons or those who are separated;\n-Reasons for Denying Credit. The draft would require the creditor to supply a written statement of reasons\nfor denying or terminating credit when any rejected applicant requests an explanation;\n-Credit Accounts. The draft regulation would permit the creditor to limit the common \"family\" type of\n\"joint\" account (issued in the name of one spouse but usable by the other spouse) to married applicants\nonly, since the creditor would rely on state laws to hold one spouse liable for the debts of the other;\n-Alimony and Child-Support Payments.

It consists of two papers: a research perspective by LENORE J. WEITZMAN and\nDIANE RIZZO, \"Images of Males and Females in Elementary School Textbooks in Five Subject Areas;\"\nand suggestions for action, \"What You Can Do About Biased Textbooks,\" prepared by the Resource\nCenter. Described as \"one of the most comprehensive studies in this area completed to date,\" the authors\nexamined the illustrations in the mathematics, science, reading, spelling and social studies texts most\nfrequently used in elementary classrooms throughout the country. In addition to the clear documentation\nof the relative omission of females and the stereotyping of both females and males, the study includes an\nanalysis of a number of other variables which have been less frequently considered. The action steps\nincluded are organized to provide suggestions for students, teachers in the classroom, teacher groups,\nadministrators and parents and community groups working to change textbook bias. They focus on ways of\ndealing with the biased materials now in use and on methods to encourage the elimination of such bias in\nnew materials. Support for research was provided by the Rockefeller Family Fund and for publication and\ndissemination by the Ford Foundation. Copies are available for $1 from the Resource Center on Sex Roles\nin Education, National Foundation for the Improvement of Education, 1156 15th St., NW, Washington, DC\n20005.\nWOMAN AS MANAGER WORKSHOP SET FOR MAY 19-22 AT BETHANY COLLEGE\n\"Woman as Manager,\" a three-day residential workshop for women presently in management, supervisory\nor administration positions and women oriented toward leadership roles, is set for May 19-22 at the\nThomas E.
