Few people know the name of
Catherine Green, yet many snap to
attention at the mention of Eli
Whitney, who is credited with inventing
the cotton gin.
Actually, Green invented the gin.
Whitnev was her employee and hap
pened to apply for the patent.
Women scientists often get little
recognition for their achievements
and also earn less than their male
counterparts, Dr. Sue Rosser,
Women's Studies Program director
and associate professor of preventive
medicine at USC, said.
Rosser is the author of Feminism
Within the Science and Health Care
Professions: Overcoming Resistance.
The book, published by Pergamon,
will be available late spring.
The book is a collection of articles
edited by Rosser, who also wrote
several chapters. Contributors include
USC professors Joan
Altekruse, Joan Gero, Jennie
Kronenfield and Suzanne
McDermott.
"More than any other area,
women have had a harder time
breaking into the sciences," said
Rosser. "Men continue to dominate
science in terms of numbers, and
female scientists face many
barriers."
According to the National Science
Foundation, women in sciences earn
71 cents for every dolllar earned by
men at the same professional level.
The NSF also found that women
had a harder time plugging into professional
networks, are promoted less
and suffer higher unemployment
rates.
Other obstacles include low
recognition, failure of schools to interest
girls in science and sex-role
stereotyping of research topics.
Rosser believes it's crucial for
society to attack these problems
soon.
"We're already experiencing a
shortage of scientists, and studies
show shortages will be even more
critical in the 1990s," Rosser said.
Some studies show that the United
States will have a shortage of 700,000
scientists in the 1990s and that 25 perV

cent of science jobs will be held by
foreign nationals.
In addition to easing that shortage,
more women in the sciences would
boost female wage earnings, improve
technological and medical advances
for women and bring a new perspective
to research, Rosser said.
"Female scientists would add a
new dimension to research not only
by including more women in their
studies, but also by bringing a more
holistic, human approach to scientific
questions."
To encourage more women to
enter the sciences, educators have
suggested providing more role
models and targeting girls in elementary
school with information about
science careers.
Rosser would like to see textbooks A
include more references to women fl
scientists. *
She also believes that female scientists
must take a more active role in
research and academics.
"I'm not suggesting that science
would change if more women were in ^
science. Newton's Law will continue t
to be Newton's Law," she said.
"But I do think women can start d
looking into areas that have never d
been investigated and find alternative P
ways of looking at things. Up until
now, we've really only been getting s
one side, one way of seeing things. ^
We need the other half of the

One morning Davis was responsible for getting
'Neal on location and was told to take Exit 30 off
terstate 77. The two became so engrossed in conxsation,
though, they ended up at Exit 34. After
rning around, they found there was no Exit 30.
O'Neal was good-humored about the incident,
fact, all the students agree that the entire crew
is friendly and helpful, particularly in sharing
Ivice about the filmmaking trade.
"These fellows have been ip the business for a
ng time," Reda said, "and so working with them
r one day, two days, five days is like going to
hool for a long time."
It was Reda's idea to use USC students. "I
dn't want to feel like I was coming here just to
ill something from the school without giving
em something back," he said.
Reda intends to use USC's Movietonews collec>n

He plans to use students in these productions,
