communism this is the angry vote most ly prompted by the slowness of reform kozyrev said when people seriously faced the option of having a communist in power in the kremlin they immediately stepped back kozyrev illustrated the disgust of the russian people by telling a joke that had been in circulation during the soviet era the joke described the late soviet general secretary leonid brezhnev at the gates of heaven brezhnev is told that he is going to hell but he can choose between the social ist hell and the capitalist hell brezhnev insists on being sent to the socialist hell when asked why he pre ferred the socialist hell brezhnev answered because i know for sure there will always be a fuel shortage there " kozyrev said kozyrev said the removal of communist institutions and the transfer of industrial property into private hands will allow the russian economy to take full advantage of the country's vast natural resources what russia needs most kozyrev said is investment capital and

columnist speaks on gender roles by patrick doherty news editor pulitzer prize-winning columnist ellen goodman discussed the need to re-evaluate gender roles in the contemporary economy and society in a lecture at peralla auditorium in rauch business center goodman said the question of what the appropriate gender roles are in modern soci ety can be characterized by the mommy debate over whether and how women can balance career and family she said this debate is the end result of decades of the evo lution of myths regarding the role of women in society we went from the 1950s myth of the supermom to the 1980s myth of the super woman goodman said goodman said the supermom myth of the 1950s depicted women as perfect wives and perfect mothers who had very limited lives outside the home she was the idea of women that our gen eration carried around just for the guilt of it goodman said by the 1980s however women had to be all this and more women were expected to care for their children while also having a job making 80,000 a year after working an eight-hour day a woman would also be expected to cook and perform household chores in this hectic schedule the children had to be penciled in like everyone else she spends an hour of time interacting with her children because haven't we been told that it's not the quantity of time but the quality that matters goodman said goodman said as the 1990s progressed women found that they couldn't do it all and that limits had to be accepted however she said progress has been slow because of the inequality of burden sharing while women have taken on the added responsibility of pur suing careers men have not taken on enough of responsibility for raising families change has been lopsided because we have been unable lo convince men of the intrinsic joy of housework goodman said goodman said useful social advances are now being made but she tempered her opti mism with caution real deep social change comes only very slowly goodman said
