Male seminar response low

Enrolments for the men’s seminar on Monday, June 6 —Feminism, Sexism, and the Male Identity—have so far been disappointing, said the convener, Mr Neil Anderson, yesterday. In spite of much talk about men not being permitted to attend the United Women’s Convention, the men’s seminar had been unable to attract the 150 people for whom it was planning. Some criticism had been made of the $8 cost, but this was to cover a buffet meal and a wine and cheese func-

sition. It was also hoped to 6'make a donation to the Conj vention Fund Award from I the proceeds. r l Although the conveners e were stiil anxious to have h further enrolments from men, they were offering a t limited number of tickets to o women from the convention, s “We regret that more men - have not yet indicated that - they wish to take advantage r of this opportunity to hear prominent feminists speak,” I said Mr Anderson. s. Enrolments would still be II open on the day at the Can--1 terbury Building Centre.
