Marcia Greenberger
Marcia Greenberger is founder and Co-President of the National Women's Law Center, established in 1972 to advocate for gender equality in education, jobs, economic security, and health. Under her leadership, the NWLC has worked to improve the lives of women, girls and families by backing laws to prohibit pregnancy discrimination in employment and to provide compensation for victims of sexual harassment. It helped pass state and federal tax laws to help millions of families pay for child and dependent care and secured new federal remedies for women seeking child support. The Center has also been a leader in enforcing Title IX, the 1972 federal law that prohibits sex discrimination in education, including athletics.
Marcia was the first full-time women's rights legal advocate in Washington, D.C. In her interview, she describes becoming aware of discrimination against women and Jews during college and as she entered law school — where she was one of ten women in her class of 240 — at the height of the Vietnam War. Caught up in the turbulent 1960s, she committed herself to seeking social change, a goal rooted in the Jewish values her parents had taught her and in President John F. Kennedy's call to service. She remembers with great admiration and fondness her mentor, Justice Arthur Goldberg.

Deborah Ross [DR]: Let's start at the beginning. Talk a little bit, if you would, about your early years: where you grew up and what kind of Jewish observance there was in your family.
Marcia Greenberger [MG]: I grew up in Philadelphia. Both my parents are, or were Jewish. My father died a number of years ago, my mother at 96 is still alive. Being Jewish was always a very important part of our identity and our culture, and just who I thought of myself as. I did grow up in a neighborhood where there were many, many other Jewish families, and so growing up through school there were always a lot of Jewish kids.
DR: Did you feel like a minority?
MG: Well, ironically enough, I didn't feel like as much of a minority as obviously Jews are both in Philadelphia, let alone in other parts of the country, let alone in the world. I had a very distorted view. In fact, when I was younger, I thought being Jewish was what the majority of kids were.
DR: So, no Christmas pageant at school?
MG: There were, there were all of those Christmas celebrations. Also, when I went to public school, you had to read from the New Testament and the Old Testament. They were alternated, reading passages when the day began. So we read from the Bible when the day began every day. But somehow that never seeped in as something that reflected either inappropriately about why we are reading from the Bible at all in a public school, let alone why we would be reading from the New Testament as well as the Old Testament. The notion of separation of church and state never occurred to me. That's the first thing. The second thing is there were always kids who weren't Jewish so the fact that we read from the New Testament I probably thought—now that I'm thinking about this for the first time as you're asking me—isn't that ecumenical of us all that we're incorporating everybody's part of the Bible? It didn't make me feel as if I was a particular minority. Now I certainly knew that the world at large celebrated Christmas and that we had a celebration of sorts, but didn't really celebrate Christmas, and we certainly celebrated Hannukah, so I knew that, but I somehow didn't incorporate it into my identity as being a minority until I became older.
DR: Did you have a Jewish education?
MG: I did. My parents belonged to a synagogue. I went to Hebrew school and Sunday school three days a week, and had I done what they expected I would have also gone to services on Saturday, which as a general matter I did not do, and my family did not do except for High Holiday services.
DR: Did you have a bat mitzvah?
MG: I had a bat mitzvah. I was one of three girls who did on a Friday night. I grew up going to a conservative synagogue. We were not allowed to read from the Torah, but bat mitzvah for girls was just in its beginning phases so three of us were bat mitzvahed together. We read on a Friday night from a haftarah.
DR: Do you remember thinking at that time, "Gee, this is different from what the boys are doing?"
MG: Yes, but as you'll see, that didn't say, "Oh, well, that's not fair." I didn't have that sense of it, I just thought, "Oh, I get to do a bat mitzvah, that's something that's kind of neat." I continued on until I was confirmed when I was sixteen. I must admit that I did not want to continue on. I hated Hebrew school, and I never really—despite all those years—became fluent reading, let alone understanding, Hebrew. I never, except for understanding some of the stories of the Bible, and that Jews don't believe in Jesus, ever got much of a grounding of the philosophy or the ethics of the Jewish religion per se in Hebrew school.
DR: But you came out of this with a Jewish identity.
MG: I certainly came out of it very much feeling as if I was Jewish, feeling very comfortable in a synagogue, comfortable with other Jews, comfortable with Jewish traditions, comfortable expecting to celebrate Passover and Hannukah and the High Holiday services. That was all a very central part of my growing up, and I certainly also felt as if I could walk into a synagogue probably anywhere and feel a basic level of comfort.
DR: If you were to reflect on Jewish values that may have been transmitted to you in your home, what would you say that they would be?
MG: Now, as an adult, and as I became more sophisticated—in college I took some classes on different religions, so that I had a little bit of a context to understand what the ethical teachings were from the Jewish religion, and made conscious choices in starting my own family. My husband also is Jewish and had grown up in an even more religious conservative tradition than I had, but we opted for a variety of reasons to belong to a reform Jewish synagogue. Our two daughters were bat mitzvahed and continued on, and both married Jewish men. Both were married by our rabbi. I have two sisters and they also married Jewish men and stayed in the religion belonging to the synagogue. So our whole family really thinks of itself as Jewish.
I think that for me in terms of the ethics and the principles of the Jewish religion they're very entwined in the principles of how you live your life as an individual with respect to your community and the world at large. To be more specific, I think that there were progressive values that were very much at the core of my parents' view of the world, that they didn't always link very explicitly to what it means to be Jewish--that you need to be progressive if you are Jewish--but which I view as being in sync. Things like caring about the poor, caring about the least of us, having a sense of integrity in how you conduct your everyday affairs, caring about family, caring about tradition, caring about the Jewish religion, and carrying on a sense of identity about being Jewish and the responsibility that that means toward the Jewish community, and also caring about Israel. These are all very much fundamental to, I think, my general selection of a mate, of a career, the way I've raised my children. Those are principles, as I've worked now in the women's rights movement, that I've felt are very much alive with the Jewish religion and the values that I grew up with. I feel extremely comfortable in the Jewish religion, in especially the reform movement that I'm a part of, and also very proud of that religious tradition. So I cannot say for every type of Judaism I feel that same identity, but I do certainly for reform Jews and for many others who aren't reform.
DR: Do your children have this same sense of identity?
MG: Definitely. My older daughter actually spent a junior semester abroad in Israel. Now I cannot say that any of us are, should I say 'religious' in going to services every week, or having Shabbat dinners every week, but they feel strongly about going to services during the High Holidays. They all light candles during Hannukah. They have very much of a sense of community in that they are Jews.
DR: Let's move on to college. You went to the University of Pennsylvania. When you entered, did you have an expectation of a career?
MG: When I entered I thought I would certainly prepare myself for some career. My family was supportive of teaching, which was a very common thing for women of my generation to do if they went to college on the theory that it could accommodate family responsibilities and certainly it was primarily women who were teaching. They weren't thinking teaching at a post-high school level. They were thinking about teaching at an elementary, secondary level. I was open to whether there was something else that I might do at the University of Pennsylvania. They did not offer degrees in education. I would not have wanted to get a degree in education anyway, but you could take extra courses in education that didn't count toward your degree but that you could have so that you could be eligible to be certified as a secondary school teacher in the Philadelphia Public Schools and that is what I did. I went to summer school, took those extra courses, and actually then took an exam to be certified as a history teacher, which was my major, so that I would be able teach.
DR: Somewhere along the way…
MG: Somewhere along the way, partially I went to a girls' high school, which was very much focused on expecting women to have careers. Now becoming a nurse or a teacher fit quite comfortably into those expectations. Many people in my high school class chose those professions, but there was never any expectation at all that you wouldn't have some career. It was an all-academic, all-city, girls' high school. When I went to college, that was really the first time I was confronted with the fact that even though the University of Pennsylvania had a relatively large number of Jewish students, as universities go, we were very much a minority in that university, and I focused for the first time on the fact that there were sororities and fraternities that had a lot of status where Jews weren't allowed. There were fancy camps that kids had gone to which weren't for Jews. There were clubs where Jews weren't allowed, or weren't really welcome to join. If they did it was the exception rather than the rule. That was all very new to me in college.
DR: What were you thinking?
MG: I remember thinking a couple of things. First of all, on an intellectual plane, "This is interesting". All of a sudden, the Christmas notion, the feeling of, really I am a minority in this country, and it's a minority that's also not really part of the elite and the ruling class and the people with power and that there were law firms in Philadelphia at that time— though I didn't know that until I went to law school—where Jews were not welcome. That was all a dawning realization. The more it dawned as I went through college and then continuing on in law school the more I felt aggrieved about it. Those lines were beginning to break down during my generation, so I can't say that I felt as personally disadvantaged by being Jewish as I did being a woman, but the combination being a Jewish woman sure wasn't great, especially in the world of law firms in Philadelphia at the time.
I did evolve with respect to a career, and at first what I thought I'd really love to do because I really loved, loved college, was become a history professor at the college level, get a PhD. So my career aspirations were enhanced going along, but I was still thinking in a teaching mode, but in a college teaching mode. I ended up really not until my senior year in college thinking about going to law school, and I did that for several reasons. Probably, I must admit, one very important reason was, I had two girlfriends who were bound and determined to go to law school and they said I should think about that too. So I had company, and some real peer support. A second thing was that the chair of the history department, who was also my advisor, and who I had an honors history seminar with my senior year, and who I was going to have to rely upon for help getting into graduate programs in history, was very discouraging of my going. He said I was the best student in the history department at the time, which was very wonderful, but getting a PhD is long, it's rigorous, by the time you get the dissertation it could take seven years—I'd be married, I'd have kids, I'd never make it through the seven years. Then I'd end up with a masters degree, not a PhD. You can't teach in college with a masters degree so I'd end up teaching in high school history anyway without having gone through that whole exercise without anything to show for it at the end of the day. That didn't sound crazy to me. I did apply to history graduate programs. I wasn't sure how much of a supportive reference he was going to be since he was so discouraging of my going—at least that's how I heard it—but I did get accepted, and I did get financial aid, which was very central and important.
But at the same time, I applied to law school. I got more financial aid. This advice was sort of going around in my head: law school's three years, not seven years, there's no dissertation, you can go in and take exams. Maybe the worst thing that can happen is you don't do well on exams but you're going to end up with a degree, as opposed to a PhD. If you don't write that dissertation you're not getting the degree either. So that seemed very practical to me that maybe I could—although three years seemed like maybe a long time—I could actually make it through and get a law degree. And then, looking back, and again I don't know how much I would ascribe this to the Jewish religion per se as opposed to Jewish values and the progressive intertwining of all of those things. I grew up in the '50's with my parents, and, I'd come home from school and McCarthy hearings were on TV. We always discussed public policy, Medicare, Medicaid coming in, the Johnson administration, and during the Kennedy administration when I was in high school, I was just mesmerized by the Kennedy's. It was glamorous. They were doing important things that had resonated with me based on my growing up. I had an older sister and I remember our talking about—it was sort of like talking about becoming Miss America. Talking about, Oh, going to Washington for an administration like the Kennedy administration! Either of those things was equally more of a fantasy than a true plan, but it was in my mind.
DR: Were you being influenced by the feminist movement?
MG: Not directly, although my consciousness was being raised slowly but surely. Certainly not at the bat mitzvah stage. When I went to college, Penn had a college for women. You were accepted as a woman to the college for women. There were a third of the students at the college for women, so it was much harder to get in to. I don't think I focused on that particularly until I got there. At first the women were all banding together, "Isn't it great, we're so much smarter than the guys!" As opposed to, "This is very unfair!" The women had separate curfews that the guys didn't have. You could be actually kicked out of school if you came in late repeatedly with these curfews. It was very angering to think that these freshman guys would have no curfew and a senior woman could end up with a curfew and in trouble. That was very unfair. We had to wear skirts to classes and skirts even on weekends to the library up until my senior year when we were allowed to wear pants to the library on Sunday afternoon. Those kinds of things were starting to rankle. When I applied to law school with these two girlfriends we went to take the LSATs and these guys came over and started screaming at us: We shouldn't take the LSATs; we don't belong in law school. At the time, the Vietnam War was raging and if you were in graduate school you could get a deferment from the draft, so many guys at the time saw a seat in law school as a way of avoiding the Vietnam War. If a woman was sitting in that seat, that was one more person who was going to get drafted.
DR: Did you have role models in law school? Were there women mentoring these female students?
MG: No. In law school when we started we were ten women, including one of those two young women who was a very close friend of mine. We both started together. Our class was about 240, so there were ten women out of 240. We were viewed suspiciously: Why are you in law school to begin with? Is it to get married and find somebody to marry? Is there something weird about you? What is it?
DR: How did you respond to that?
MG: In a very defensive way. Plus law school first year is intimidating anyway. Law professors in those days called on people using the Socratic method where they would ask question after question after question, ultimately to get to a question you probably couldn't answer. I remember starting law school raising my hand to be called on and there were big lecture classes, they were not small classes. You were in a class of about a hundred, with your whole section. After about three weeks, and I hadn't been called on at the beginning, but seeing the other male students getting demolished, I decided I was never volunteering the rest of law school. So there was a feeling of intimidation to start with, just being in law school. That was already a shock because I was very comfortable and loved college, and now all of a sudden I was feeling very out of my element. I didn't think the way those law professors did, so that was intimidating. There was also a male dorm. A lot of the first year male students were all in the dorm for the law school. There was no dorm for women. I was sharing an apartment in Center City with this law school friend of mine from college and another female friend. I was not part of the social scene where I could easily become a pal with the other guys in the class.
And, there was this hostility starting with the LSATs. I had gone to visit a law school class when I was in my senior year at Penn to see what I thought of the law school class, and the law professor saw me sitting in the back of the class. It was a class of about a hundred, and I thought I could just easily sit there. I didn't know the protocol was to introduce myself and ask him ahead of time if it was OK if I could be there, I just slipped in. He started calling on me, "Miss Visitor", which I remember to this day, and the whole class was in hysterics because of course he demolished me within ten seconds. I started out with a bit of a sense of people not welcoming me to begin with, that I was an oddity--at the best I was an oddity, and then feeling especially insecure just being in law school. Also, people were feeling very competitive with each other and I just didn't know whether I was going to be able to truly cut it. So when you fold all these things together, then I was really starting to feel discrimination on the basis of sex.
I encountered at that point a number of law firms that would not accept women at all and said so. They explicitly said they wouldn't hire a woman. I interviewed at one Washington law firm that told me—a partner told me—that they had never had a woman associate, and he didn't see how they ever would because Washington is not a safe city and you know, the lawyers work very late at night, and they can't have a woman—a young woman lawyer—working very late at night. What if she's leaving and something terrible happens? They'd never be able to come to grips with that. I remember it to this day—I walked out, and it occurred to me in the hallway, what about all the secretaries who were staying late? But I never marched myself back in to the office to say, "Wait a minute, I'll take whatever security that you give to the secretaries." But that was a prevailing attitude. When I was in law school the women were called on for the rape cases and the cases where they were going to be embarrassed in very stereotypical ways and that happened in my class.
DR: Did you ever think, "What have I gotten myself into, I should have gone back to history?"
MG: I already had the feeling that I wasn't going to be so welcomed in history either. I had some very good friends. My husband was in my law school class and we met there, not until the end of our first year did we really get to know each other well. One of the jokes was I was called on relatively early on by a very elderly, very traditional law school professor in a torts class who asked me about some malfunction of an airplane. It was very mechanical. I felt out of my element altogether. He was pressing me, and I couldn't answer, and he kept asking me question after question. I kept not answering them correctly. He'd say, "Try again, try again." By the fourth time, I said, "I'm going to try this time, but if I don't get it right you better call on somebody else because I don't think I have the right answer." So I sort of stood up for myself a little bit. After it was over, all these guys came over and said, "Don't feel bad." "You were funny." "That was great." "You told him not to call on you anymore, you obviously didn't know." So that kind of broke the ice a little bit, so that helped me. I always joked that they thought, too, "Ah, this woman is no threat after that one." But I had ended up with more and more friends, both male and female. The women bonded together, as you could imagine, and there were great women in my class; a lot of very good guys in my class. I got more and more of the hang of law school. I ended up being a good enough student that I was beginning to feel as if, first of all, I could do it, and secondly, I wasn't going to be penalized in my grades so that I could actually make it through.
DR: Did you feel like a pioneer at the time?
MG: I guess I began to think in those terms but I so much had my head down in a survival mode and having to defend myself mode that I'm not sure I stepped back enough to think, "You know this is really going to be important to women after me."
DR: But in retrospect?
MG: Oh, certainly in retrospect our whole generation was affected that way. What happened, too, was our first year, graduate school deferments were taken away in the fall, so our class was completely discombobulated because many of the guys were going to be drafted and had to figure out how they could stay in law school, or what they were going to do about the draft. Our class went from 240 to about 110. In a certain sense, being a woman you were a pioneer, but you were also advantaged because you personally were not going to have your whole life turned upside down in quite the same way. Right after us is when the wave of women started. Class after class had many more women. Our class was in a certain sense really the last class of so few women.
DR: This was in the late 60's.
MG: Late 60's. I graduated in 1970.
DR: There were all these other things going on in the 60's: the civil rights movement, the anti-war movement, the ERA was getting thought about…
MG: Probably thought about, not much discussed.
DR: Do you see your career as fitting into this whole time?
MG: Absolutely, totally, absolutely. I was very much of an activist in law school and in college. We had sit-ins that I participated in, and while many historians have pointed to this period of turmoil as spawning the women's movement because women who were activists were also in second class positions in all these civil rights and peace organizations. I wasn't aspiring to be in a leadership role for any of them, and I know I didn't notice that there weren't women necessarily running any of them. I wasn't thinking like that.
But, certainly the idea that you can change things, that you can speak up, that you have the power and the responsibility to do it, that the older generation in power can make dreadful and terrible decisions and that you just shouldn't sit back and accept the status quo. That was very central to my way of thinking. Ultimately as I evolved, and began to see in my own life what it meant to try to take on a more equal role, and to see the disparities just so starkly in front of us, then the idea that you could do something about it, that was a natural next step to make.
My husband and I were married in law school, and another thing was that clerking for a judge was a prestigious and good thing to do after law school. There were many, many, many federal judges who would not accept women law clerks at the time. The faculty said to me, even though I had a good record, most of the male federal judges wouldn't accept women clerks. We decided to come to Washington, my husband had a clerkship and I went to a tax firm. I did work for a law firm in my third year and started in the tax department and liked it and stayed there. You asked me if were there role models. I never, by the way, growing up, knew many lawyers at all, male, let alone female. When I say many, honestly I can't--I probably had met some lawyers my parents must have known, but I can't remember any of them. They certainly weren't good friends to start with. When I was in college I never had a female professor as a history major at the University of Pennsylvania. There was one woman who was a graduate student in history who taught some of the break-out sections from the big lecture class and I remember being intrigued by her because she was young and vibrant and attractive. She looked like she was on a path to get a PhD but that was as close as I came to a woman professor teaching me as a liberal arts major. Now of course there were women on the faculty at Penn, and there was a college for women so there were administrative staff that were women, but they were so much of a minority that I wouldn't say that I really saw much of a role model except for that one young woman, or any woman who was a mentor. When I went to law school there was one woman on the faculty for a short time who I never really knew, and then she left. She wasn't there for all three years. Otherwise, it was all male and I never had a woman law professor either. So through my seven years of school I never had a woman professor. This is in Pennsylvania, not a backwater state, and the University of Pennsylvania, not a backwater institution.
When I worked in that law firm my third year there was a woman, who actually was also a Jewish woman, who was at that law firm. She had a special status. I didn't know at the time what it was. We probably would call it 'of counsel' now. She was not on a partnership track and she had never married. The law firm that I worked at was an old, what they called a 'white-shoe' firm that had very few Jewish lawyers to start with, and the Jewish lawyers they had were younger. So, I got to know in law school that there were Jewish firms and there were the WASP firms. The Jewish firms could be successful but they weren't as integrated into the power structure of Philadelphia. Then I learned about the Main Line area of Philadelphia where Jews were not welcome, and the clubs that Jews couldn't belong to. I really got the concreteness of it even more in a professional setting in law school. So this one woman was lovely. I liked her very much. I wouldn't say she was a mentor of mine, and not particularly a role model either because I wasn't wild about the fact that she was off in this special status, she didn't have a family, but she was a woman lawyer, and so I remember her very much that there was such a thing.
DR: Do you see yourself now as a role model?
MG: I guess I must be. I don't think of myself explicitly that way but I know that I am probably less of a role model—a unique role model now—than I may have been in earlier years. On the other hand, I think I'm a role model still less as a successful woman lawyer because I think certainly women can find other successful women lawyers in lots of walks of life to look to. But today even more than ever I think that the idea of: Can you have a career? Can you be married? Can you have children? That set of questions is of burning interest and concern and worry for young women today.
DR: Was it not for you?
MG: When I first started it was, but I think, first of all, institutions for men and women were very different than they are today. If you went to a law firm and you were a man and you were successful you could assume that's where you would be your whole career. What it meant to devote yourself to a law firm in Washington—New York City may be different, but Washington—was, you worked hard, but you did not work every minute of the day billing hours. It wasn't that you didn't have to be very focused on your career, but it was not as all-consuming and as insecure as it is today. The notion of what it means to be successful, I think, has ramped up. The sacrifices expected of both men and women have changed dramatically since I started.
DR: Could you talk about your own work/family balance situation when your girls were young?
MG: I should say a couple things. First of all, my husband was always very supportive. We had met as colleagues in law school—same class, same experiences. I was just barely 23 when I got married. He was six months older, so he was an 'older man', he was 23 too. That wasn't young to get married at that time. Now, of course, I think it was very young, but it gave us time for each of us to start a work life. We were married for five years before our first daughter was born. By then I had moved from this tax firm to a public interest organization, the Center for Law and Social Policy, one of the first in the country, chaired by Arthur Goldberg—talk about a mentor and the most extraordinary Jewish light in many respects and certainly in the law, having been a justice on the Supreme Court. He came and worked in my tax firm and had associates working for him. He chaired the board of the Center for Law and Social Policy. He was very much a reason why I came to the Center to start a women's rights project there.
DR: Can I ask what you remember about him?
MG: Oh, I remember a lot about him. He was a feminist to his being in every way, shape and form. First of all, he took me as seriously as any of the associates who worked for him. He worked with me in improving my skills as a lawyer, and he treated me with enormous respect. Secondly, at the same time as I had this extraordinary professional mentor, he was this enormously kind, big-hearted individual who cared about people as people. And so he cared about what I was going to do, and what my husband was going to do, and was I going to have children. He was so both in love and admiring of his wife, Dorothy, whom he talked about all the time. His family life was so central to him. He was such a complete person in so many respects. He was just terrific.
Anyway, so I, partially because of him, came to start the women's rights project at the Center. He was, as the chair of the board of the Center, extraordinarily supportive of its women's rights work, and when we reached a point that becoming an independent organization made the most sense, and we became the National Women's Law Center, he was right behind it, totally behind it. He was just fantastic, and he invited me to events where he gave speeches. I have some memorabilia in my office today that he gave me from his time at the Supreme Court, from a speech that he gave in Israel where the Bank of Israel gave him a gift that he couldn't accept and he gave it to the National Women's Law Center. He was just so supportive of the issues. The Cosmos Club, a private club in Washington that selects people based on merit--if you are really a great success in your field, whatever your field may be--refused to accept women for many, many years, and he was one of the members of that club among other private clubs in Washington who worked very hard to change the admissions to allow women to join. He failed for a time—now they do accept women—and he left the club. He was a wonderful person and mentor.
When I came to the Center to start women's rights, there was a woman, Patricia Wald, who was there, and she was the first really true role model—a woman—that I saw as a lawyer. She was brilliant, had graduated from Yale Law School, was the first in her family to have ever graduated from college, let alone law school. She'd gone to a law firm, she married—a wonderful Jewish man, actually in her class, Bob Wald, her name was Patricia McGowan Wald—and they had five children. She took time off from her career with those children as she describes it, but she always kept her hand in doing projects of one sort or another while she had the primary responsibility for raising those five kids. One of the things she did was work at the Center for Law and Social Policy on mental health and other issues. She was there when I started and she was so extraordinary in every way: a superb lawyer, five kids! I mean that was never anything I was thinking in terms of balancing work and family. Ultimately she went on to do many things, including being Chief Judge of the D.C. Circuit. So as far as my serving as a role model, I was so much thinking, who are my role models and mentors, that to kind of shift in your head from being a young person learning the ropes to a person that other people are looking up to, that took some time. But over the years I certainly have been asked to speak to many people, both in my professional capacity just on the issues, but then also to many, many forums about having a career, and how you balance it with family responsibilities.
You asked me about how we did it. My husband ended up, while I had this public interest career not earning a whole lot of money, in a private firm. We were very lucky because I both had a base of time to establish some professional credentials and connections including hitting the jackpot with Arthur Goldberg, and then we had these resources. Childcare centers did not exist in those early days, so we did have a full time nanny at home, and that I had through my children's growing up. They started school of course, but I had that help. It's not very common that people can do it these days but we were able to. For a time, I worked four days a week, and my colleague, Nancy Duff Campbell, became the co-head of the National Women's Law Center, and we both had young children. Part of the reason we wanted to have this sharing arrangement was so that neither would have only administrative and fund-raising responsibilities, and we could each keep our hand in the substantive work and share those administrative types of duties, and also so that we could spell each other. If something happened, we didn't have to feel as if the whole institution was looking to only one person. That's a relationship that has stood us in good stead over, now, decades. We are still co-presidents of the Center, and now each grandparents. There have been many different cycles in life.
DR: Are you surprised at the success of the women's movement?
MG: I'm not surprised at the success. I have to keep reminding myself of the successes, and they have been really extraordinary, because I think when I started I never expected that it would be as hard as it was, and has been, and continues to be, both to secure those successes, and to build on them. I honestly don't think any success is accepted as permanent if there isn't continued public support. There are always going to be battles that are going to have to be refought and re-won. I think I neither understood fully the women's movement when I started nor did I get, history major or not, enough of a grasp of how really revolutionary in the most core ways the women's movement was, and has been in its strive for equality, and how unrealistic it was to think it wouldn't take a very long struggle to really get these changes truly ingrained and accepted, and also to build on them in ways that I think need to be.
Obviously, one of the most distressing things with the passage of years is the income divide between the very wealthy and the poor. The poor still are comprised primarily of women and their children with a bigger, bigger divide over time. Secondly, the fact that these big institutions that are so powerful, and responsible for those who are the most powerful and the most wealthy, have still been very hard for women to crack although there are now more exceptions than there used to be. They're requiring much more devotion to career than they did, much more of a total immersion in your work life, and technology has only made that worse with Blackberries, etc., so people are on call all the time. So the difficulty women have in balancing—that's a bad word—but in living up to the responsibilities of work and their family and their community I fear have gotten harder in many respects. That's not to say that women aren't looking for other routes, and opening up their own businesses or their own practices or looking for alternative relationships with big employers. There are signs of hope there, but I don't think we've made life really easier for men or women. The economy, the bigger trends in the economy have made life much, much harder for both men and women.

By Endicott Sports Information
BEVERLY, Mass. - The Massachusetts Institute of Technology finished 19-for-20 from the free-throw line in propelling to a 74-66 win at Endicott College on Thursday night. The victory was the third in a row for the Engineers, who moved to 4-2 on the season.
The Engineers got off to a hot start, as they jumped out to an early 9-3 lead. Endicott's Gary Corbett responded for the Gulls, as he scored the blue and green's first eight points. Trailing 14-8, senior center Mike Sullivan found classmate Nemanja Marinkovic with a slick backdoor look, pulling Endicott within four.
MIT's Will Mroz was a spark off the bench for the Engineers in the first half, as he quickly quieted the Endicott (1-4) crowd. The junior guard sank back-to-back three pointer's, building a 22-15 advantage for the visitors. The Engineers would close out the opening half on a 17-10 run, capped off by a nifty up and under buzzer beater by sophomore guard Jimmy Bartolotta that put the Engineers up 39-25 at the break.
The Gulls came out of the dressing room with an adjusted game plan, quickly opening the second half on a 10-2 run. Moments later, with the score 46-40 in favor of the visitors, MIT's Alex Krull hit one of the games biggest shots, as he connected from behind the arc to re-post the Engineers' nine point advantage.
Just when it looked like the game was out of reach, Endicott's Graham Whitelaw chipped in for a tough two points in the paint, cutting the lead to eight. Following an MIT turnover, it was Whitelaw again who found his way to the hole, as he picked up the basket and the foul, chopping the lead to 64-59.
In the game's final minutes, MIT showed its ability to get to the line. The efficient shooting Engineers capitalized on their opportunities, shooting a staggering 95% (19-of-20) from the free-throw line on the night.
With 48 seconds remaining in the contest and the Gulls down six, Endicott was forced to foul. MIT's Jimmy Bartolotta, who closed a perfect 9-of-9 at the charity line, sunk consecutive free throws to ice the game for the visitors.
The Gulls were paced by junior Todd Burton as he scored a team-high 15 points on the night. MIT was led by Bartolotta, as he dropped in a game-high 20 points. Krull added 19 points and a team-best four assists to the Engineers' totals. Bartolotta entered Thursday's contest averaging 23.4 points per game.

Nashville, Tenn. - On Monday, the Ohio Valley Conference named sophomore outside hitter Rachel Ambroch and junior setter Erika Moss Offensive Player of the Week and Setter of the Week, respectively.
The announcement marks the first time in school history that two players have received awards during the same calendar week.
Moss earned her second player of the week nomination after recording 85 assists in two matches. She tied her season high with 49 assists in the win at Belmont and played a part in the team hitting .417 in the straight set victory over Eastern Illinois.
This was Moss' second OVC Setter of the Week award this season. Her first occurred on Sept. 28.
For Ambroch, her nomination was the first of her career. She joins Moss and senior libero Britani Hathorn, who was named OVC Defensive Player of the Week last Monday, as the third Tiger to win a weekly award this season. The nomination marks the first time in TSU history that three different players have won a weekly award and the first instance where Tennessee State has had a student-athlete selected in each of the three categories.
Ambroch started the week by racking up 20 kills at Belmont, and followed that with 14 versus EIU. She also hit a team-high .778 in the contest against Eastern Illinois. During the second set of EIU match, Ambroch was a perfect six-for-six in kill opportunities for a hitting percentage of 1.000.
Ambroch and Moss helped the Tigers go 2-0 on the week to improve to 3-1 in the OVC and 8-8 overall.
TSU's next matches will be at home against Tennessee Tech on Oct. 5 and Jacksonville State on Oct.6.

Immortal Perfection
Women's (US)
Sorry, we're out of stock!View Cart (0) Add to Wishlist
Immortal Perfection is a label only placed on a few precious things in this world -- like a good sunset, bacon-flavoured anything, or, of course, The Milla. This boot didn't get christened with such a name lightly (even though The Milla is a very light boot). This warm weather boot is built in Portugal with soft, unlined Italian suede, a tumbled leather sole and a stacked 2.25" leather heel. Warning - wearing The Milla while eating bacon and watching a perfect sunset could result in a memory that proves unmatchable.

Fit right in with our 'contemporary country' look, almost modern cowboy, but simple, sleek, elegant, stunning, perfect warm rust color, on and on. And on, they fit great, although I exchanged my usual size for a full size up, and still not too big. Smoother leather sole should be great for dancin' also! Highly recommend to grab the last pairs at a great price if in your size.
Great style, poor workmanship
I paid full price and love the look of these sleek little booties, but after wearing them maybe four times the heel cap came right off. I almost tripped! No, they didn't catch on anything, it's that the heel caps had never been glued on. Will have to get them fixed. Love that they were made in Portugal, but is there a glue shortage there? It'll be a while before I shop Fluvog again.

So sleek and a great color!
The rust is MUCH better looking in person than on the website - a true burnt orange. And they fit my skinny ankles perfectly while accommodating my wide-ish feet. I went up a full size in these, but Vog sizing is so different from our planet's anyway. I wear them without socks and they are very comfortable. Now thinking about getting them in beige as the perfect neutral. And what a bargain!

Residents of Missouri were treated to a spectacle they do not normally see this week: bicycle racers traveling across the state.
They're not your typical cyclists, either. They're members of the Race Across America, or RAAM, a 3,000 mile race across 12 states from Oceanside, California to Annapolis, Maryland, a distance which is 30 percent longer than the Tour de France.
That sounds hard enough, right?
The racers climb over 170,000 vertical feet in their journey, which makes this seem even more incredibly difficult.
Sound like a challenge?
Too bad. There's more.
Racers have to complete the distance in roughly half of the time allowed for the Tour de France.
That's right. Half the time.
The solo racers have 12 days to finish the race, while the teams have just nine days. Teams of two, four, or eight person relays will ride 350-500 miles a day, racing non-stop. Solo racers will ride 250-350 miles a day, balancing speed and the need for sleep.
So who is crazy enough to do this?
You'd be surprised.
Racers come from all over the world to compete in the event. Racers are both amateurs and professionals, with at least 15 different countries being represented each year. Over 25 countries have been represented over the 30-year history of the race.
Approximately 40 % of the racers are from outside the US. About 15% of the racers are women.
This year, there are 39 solo competitors, 11 two-man teams, 17 four-man teams and seven eight-man teams competing.
The majority of these competitors are just people with a passion for riding their bicycle.
But the stories that accompany these competitors make the feat that much more important.
The majority of these cyclists compete in the event not just for competition, but rather, they compete for a cause. Racers annually raise collectively in excess of $2 million for a wide range of charitable causes.
Christoph Strasser of Austria has already completed the race, setting two new records for crossing the U.S. on a bicycle. He finished the distance in 7 days, 22 hours and 56 minutes on Wednesday, demolishing the previous record of 8 days, 3 hours and 11 minutes in '92 held by Rob Kish from Florida.
Strasser also managed to break the overall speed record, breaking the 15.4 mph record and raising it to 15.66 mph. Strasser's strong pace in the beginning (471 miles in the first 24 hours) gave him a large lead over the other racers and he never looked back.
Strasser is racing for the Lyoness Child and Family Foundation, which supports measures in the field of education by constructing schools in around the world in deprived areas.
The leaders of the eight-man race is the Allied Forces - Team 4Mil/Strategic Lions, comprised of four Americans and four racers from the United Kingdom. Their goal is, of course, to win, but they're racing to help the charities of Team 4Mil and Help For Heroes. They finished the race on Thursday night as the first multiple-person team to cross the finish line.
Team Cork RAAM Challenge 2013 is a four-man team from Ireland, sponsored by Irish Life, which is racing for Diabetes Ireland.
Another four-man team is Team Laughing Dog Brewing, which is racing for 24 Hours for Hank, a charity which was started to raise money to find a cure for Cystinosis, a rare genetic disease that affects approximately 500 people in the United States (mostly children), and about 2,000 people worldwide. This disease causes the amino acid "cystine" to accumulate in the body's cells, and over time, cystine buildup slowly destroys various organs, including the kidneys, liver, muscles, white blood cells, eyes and central nervous system.
The teams have had to fight through various weather and terrain, and the race has not been able to escape without incident.
49 year-old Maria Parker is racing to raise money for brain cancer research. She founded 3,000 Miles to a Cure in order to raise $1 million dollars to cure brain cancer. She is an American long-distance cyclist, holding multiple cycling records.
But along the way, she was brought to a halt as her supply van was rear-ended, along with her two spare bikes, with all of them being a total loss. Maria and her crew were all fine, but the journey was over.
Despite the setback, Parker was back in the race, continuing her journey, and overtook the lead woman cyclist just two days later.
And all of this is just a drop in the pool of RAAM. There's so many stories to each individual, and while it is competitive, it something more. It's a race, true, but it is a race of heart.
Race Across America makes its way through Missouri
Residents of Missouri were treated to a spectacle they do not normally see this week: bicycle racers traveling across the state.

The first traces of plastic debris have been found in the once pristine environment of the Southern Ocean, according to a new study.
The findings come after a 2.5-year, 70,000-mile voyage by the French scientific research vessel Tara, which has been sailing the world's oceans to investigate the impacts of climate change.
Samples from locations in the Southern Ocean and Antarctica revealed traces of plastic waste at a rate comparable to the global average. This came as a surprise to the researchers, who had expected levels some ten times lower.
"Discovering plastic at these very high levels was completely unexpected because the Southern Ocean is relatively separated from the world's other oceans and does not normally mix with them," said Chris Bowler, scientific co-ordinator of Tara Oceans.
Fatal impacts
In addition to large items of waste, such as plastic bags, bottles and other plastic items, the world's oceans also contain microscopic fragments that result from the degradation of larger items through years of exposure to seawater and sunlight.
The researchers were surprised to find that synthetic fibres, largely made up of clothing residues from washing machines, also comprised a significant portion of the plastic fragments they found.
Plastic pollution has many long-lasting and even fatal impacts on marine life. Birds, fish and other animals are known to regularly consume plastic waste, mistaking it for jellyfish or other prey, but it cannot be digested and remains in the stomach. Plastics also slowly release toxins and other chemicals, which can build up in the food chain.
Human impacts 'truly planetary'
Although it is difficult to identify the main source of the waste in the Southern Ocean, much of it is thought to originate from Africa, South America or Australia. Sadly, the fact that plastic debris has reached the Southern Ocean shows that our throw-away culture now has impacts around the globe.
Talking about the findings in the Southern Ocean, Chris Bowler said, "We had always assumed that this was a pristine environment, very little touched by human beings. The fact that we found these plastics is a sign that the reach of human beings is truly planetary in scale."
Action against plastic waste
According to Bowler, it is too late to do much about the plastic already circulating in our oceans, as it will take thousands of years to degrade. However, we can take action against future pollution, for example by advocating the use of biodegradable materials and by changing consumer attitudes and behaviour.
The research ship Tara will continue its marine research in 2013, when it will travel to the Arctic to investigate the impacts of melting sea ice, a result of global climate change.

Navigation must be tidy, obvious, and lead the user to where they want to go. No Java-run dropdown menus. Entries with cryptic or unusual navigation will be eliminated.
Consideration should be given to your colours for normal links, highlighted links, and followed links.
Pages should still look nice when the browser is expanded to maximum.
The two required templates are:
See http://www.yarnmaker.com our current page. The new design should include the same elements but redesigned, being:
* Our new logo at www.yarnmaker.com/logo/
* The introduction text about the company
* Section(s) for upcoming and current projects
* The section for open casting calls and crew calls (must be removable for when there are no open calls)
* The list of completed productions
* Company news headlines
See http://www.yarnmaker.com/news/show.…article=21 for a current sample.
The files are to be delivered both as a PSD and as a Flattened PNG in case there are any PSD version issues.
Please feel free to contact me directly if you have questions, requests or concerns. I want to help you get the right design for us!
- Two templates required: "Homepage" and "content page" (as above).
- Download our new logo (as above).
- To stay away from black heavy backgrounds, if that is possible (our logo may force you to use black).
- Must still work when the browser is at full screen.
- Clear and tidy navigation that lets the user find what they want.
- Delivery: both a PSD (for layers) and a Flattened PNG.
- Stock photography.
- Tacky film clichés, like film strips, slate boards, megaphones, stars, etc.

Charles G. Dawes
History | Hugh McCulloch | Abraham Lincoln | Notable Comptrollers | Bank Examiners | National Bank Vignettes
Comptroller of the Currency
Dawes was only 33 years of age when he became Comptroller in 1898. But he had already built a reputation as a leading student of U.S. financial history, largely on the strength of his book, The Banking System of the United States, which was published in 1884. It was the first of nine books he wrote in his lifetime.
Dawes served an abbreviated term as Comptroller. But his tenure came at a critical time for the national banking system, which was still recovering from the Panic of 1893. Dawes proposed a series of measures designed to bring depositors back into the banks and increase the availability of banking services in smaller communities that had long gone without them. He also took steps to strengthen OCC supervision, which he saw as essential to restoring public confidence in the banks.
When Dawes left the OCC, he was only 36 years old, and his most important achievements were still ahead of him. He founded and ran a major financial institution, the Central Trust Company of Illinois. When the United States entered World War I, he joined General Pershing's staff, where he developed an integrated supply and distribution system for the American Expeditionary Force. He was discharged as a Brigadier General.
In 1924, Germany was lagging behind in the payment of reparations required under the Treaty of Versailles, and the Allied nations appointed Dawes to propose ways to restructure Germany's financial obligations. For developing the plan that bore his name, Dawes was awarded the 1925 Nobel Peace Prize.
He was elected Vice-President of the United States on the Coolidge ticket in 1924, and after leaving office four years later, President Hoover appointed him Ambassador to Great Britain. He later served as a U.S. delegate to various international conferences and as chairman of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, a government agency created in 1932 to make emergency loans to financial, industrial, and agricultural institutions during the Great Depression.
Charles Gates Dawes died at his home in Evanston, Illinois, at the age of 86.

I'm sure the Romanians will sow unrest as much as possible, and I'm sure that people will be sympathetic to them. But I don't think a serious uprising could occur without the Cullens, and I think it will take something very big for them to do that.
Politics is all about deception, maneuvering and power plays. Base primus of any coo is the spin doctors. They can look at anything and twist it to their needs. We see it all the time on Fox and CNN. Propaganda is the beginning of any war, lead by redirect that is meant to stir up emotions with truth as its first casualty. Both the Romanians and the Volturi have their roles in vampire society with long term agenda's that need to have seed sewn that will bear fruit later when they need it. The Cullens are a trip wire and also focal point of interest to be used by said spin doctors to achieve a political end now. The Cullens are not even likely to know what is being said about them and in what context. We see it all the time.
When the next big event happens in the world check out CNN, BBC Briton, SANA, Xinhua and Itar-TASS. All five of these news agencies will report on the event and likely the reports will be far different from each other. Spin Doctoring at its best. Political Science in raw form.

Remember, it's the thought that counts when buying a Christmas gift, and giving a gift card from a large national retailer doesn't require a lot of thought.
If you want to give something special, something that you won't see in Chicago, Peoria or Springfield, shop a local small business this holiday season. Those kinds of gifts tend to be more meaningful for the recipient and for the giver, and you don't have to drive long distances to get them.
Not only will you be giving a gift that will be remembered for its uniqueness, you'll be helping your community. The money spent here stays here and is recirculated within the community.
And it's not just about money. Studies show that "cities where small, locally owned businesses account for a relatively large share of the economy have stronger social networks, more engaged citizens, and better success solving problems," according to the Institute for Local Self Reliance, a nonprofit research and educational organization. Other studies say that local small businesses are the key to economic growth.
Since its founding in 2002, studies by Civic Economics, an economic development consulting company with offices in Austin, Texas, and Chicago, consistently show that for every dollar you spend at a local, independent business, more of that money stays in your community than if you spent that buck with a national business.
The latest study shows that 52 percent of money spent locally stays local. For a national business, it's 13.6 percent. If you eat at a local restaurant, 79 percent of the money is recirculated locally as opposed to 30 percent for a national chain.
Civic Economics also reports that residential neighborhoods served by successful independent business districts gained, on average, 50 percent more in home values than their citywide markets over a 14-year period.
Another study puts an even higher value on shopping locally. The business advocacy group The 3/50 Project reports that $68 of every $100 spent at locally owned, independent stores returns to the community through taxes, payroll and other costs.
That spending also creates local jobs. According to the U.S. Small Business Administration, small and new businesses have created two of every three net new jobs in the U.S. during the past 20 years.
Don't forget customer service. When you enter a locally owned shop you'll see a familiar, friendly face. It may even be one of your neighbors. The personal touch offered by a local business is priceless.
Tomorrow is Black Friday, the traditional start of the Christmas shopping chaos. We're sure there are some great deals among the big boxes out there, but small, local merchants offer great deals as well.
Those local stores will be open today, but Saturday is the day to pay attention. It's the fourth year for Small Business Saturday, created by American Express to help small businesses get more exposure during the holiday shopping season. Nationally, more than 500,000 merchants participated in 2012, attracting more than 100 million consumers, generating $5.5 billion in revenue.
Be part of the local movement. Shop local today, tomorrow and every day.

'If you're still on an older Android phone or iPhone 5S, this is a great upgrade.'
'perfect phone'
'The Nexus 5X is a great smartphone that showcases the best of what Android Marshmallow has to offer. '
'Overall the Nexus 5X is great in some areas, lacklustre in others.'
'Pure Android, Decent specs for the price, USB Type C, Excellent fingerprint scanner.'
'Those looking to upgrade from a Nexus 4 or 5 should be quite happy with this new model.'
'But does all that on-board tech translate to a great smartphone camera' Of course it does. '
'Samsung's Galaxy Note series has never been for everyone, but the Note 5 just might change some minds.'
'With its slick, Galaxy S6-like body and brand-new S Pen, the Galaxy Note 5 is Samsung's best Note yet.'
'And it succeeded: the Note 5 is probably the most consumer-friendly Note ever. '
'great phone'
'The PRIV's isn't great if I'm honest -- and I really do enjoy a good QWERTY keyboard on my phone.'
'The BlackBerry Priv is the best smartphone the company has ever made. '
'Svelte looking industrial design for a phone with a keyboard. '
'The S6 Edge+ is good, but not a great standalone phablet.'
'It's a gorgeous phone with some of the finest hardware available right now, but its key feature is relatively useless, and still somewhat experimental. . '
'top-tier specs'
'For my money, it's the best Android phone on the market right now: the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+. '
'Huawei's Mate 8 is a fantastic phone. '
'The Huawei Mate 8 is one seriously good-looking smartphone. '
'Disorganized user interface.'
'But, it's seriously let down by awful software and an inconsistent camera. '
'The end result is a smartphone that looks practical, like a sports shoe or a torch.'
'The Moto X Play is another solid, good looking phone from the Motorola's stables. '
'Add a splash-proof body that protects the internals from all kinds of spilled drinks, and the option to wildly customise the colours of the phone to suit your exacting tastes and you've got yourself one hell of a smartphone.'
'The Moto X Play is the balancing act between the Moto G and Moto X Style with a tendency to aim high instead of settle for less.'
'A compact phone indeed.'
'While I may not be entirely sold on the design changes, using the Z5 Compact has been great. '
'Long lasting battery.'
'The processor inside is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 which is a nice upgrade from the Z3 Compact which has a Snapdragon 801.'

France has a navy that, while modest in size, is able to carry out necessary strategic functions. However, like every Western country, we must do this within a reduced-budget context. We may not build the navy of our dreams. We must find the best balance between the ambitions of defense and security of our country, budget realities, and capabilities worked out to the minimum to meet the missions.
In the years to come, then, the size of the French navy is going to be structured by four basic principles:
Permanence at sea is essential. Naval forces are of course able to intervene quickly at sea, but also from the sea, and to stay for a long time in our areas of interest, as is the case with the carrier battle group. Being able to provide this rapid response capability, to intervene quickly, at low level, can help contain a crisis. Given global budgetary constraints, these tasks should be shared among allies.
The versatility of our capabilities is significant, for today, when a ship gets under way, the type of crisis she may face is rarely foreseen. Versatility gives importance to the concept of our new multipurpose frigates, which can deal with conventional and asymmetric threats. The air-land forces embarking on board our large amphibious ships also meet this need.
Precision is a prerequisite in conducting ever more complex operations. Collateral- damage concerns require us to engage targets as accurately as possible. Cruise missiles from frigates or submarines enable us to provide both a form of dissuasion toward disruptive states and to meet the need for precision.
Finally, modern operations are carried out in a joint—often multinational—framework. Working cooperatively is compulsory, giving operational chiefs real options. In an international coalition it also results in seeking necessary interoperability, shared intelligence, and tested targeting processes without hesitation.

Global travel could save a step in paperwork
The flights may still be long, but the process for international travel could be shorter after a change that cuts down on paperwork for air and sea travelers starting this week.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection on Friday will begin using an automated version of Form I-94, a document verifying international visitors have been lawfully admitted to the U.S., at Bush Intercontinental Airport.
The Houston airport is among the first to adopt the change that will be nationwide by May 21.
International travelers already load their information into an electronic passenger information system at least 24 hours before boarding their flights.
Under the new system, those travelers will no longer have to complete the forms again, manually, before arriving at the airport.
Rather, a swipe of the passport will send the information to the Customs and Border Protection website, where it can be then be accessed if needed, said spokeswoman Yolanda Choates.
The change will save the agency $15 million a year, Choates said.

The Bisons Soccer Team beat visiting conference foe USC-Upstate 4-0 Sunday afternoon.
Lipscomb put the game out of reach early for the Spartans, scoring three unanswered goals in the first half alone.
Freshman mid-fielder Andre Santos put the Bisons on the board first with an unassisted goal in the 21st minute. Shortly after in the 25th minute, freshman Garret Pettis from Elizabethtown, Penn. scored on a combined assist from senior Ricardo Atti and freshman Andrew Chamberlin.
"We knew we could beat Upstate," Pettis said. "and we started executing right away."
Just before the end of the first half, forward Tony Garibaldi, a freshman from McMinnville, scored an unassisted goal for the Bisons to make the score 3-0 going into half time.
Lipscomb would continue their offensive attack with Pettis scoring in the 49th minute on an assist from Santos.
"It always feels good to score," Pettis said. "But my second goal put the game out of reach and that was definitely a good feeling."
Upstate would answer back once in the remainder of the game, as Chad McCoy scored on assist from teammate Alex Garcev.
Lipscomb goal keeper, freshman Patrick Walsh from Laguna Hills, Cal., recorded nine saves for the game, including a blocked penalty kick.
The Bisons, who are still undefeated in conference play, will travel to Campbell Thursday. The Bisons raised their record to 6-5-2, 2-0-1 in the Atlantic Sun.
The Spartans fell to 1-11 overall, 0-4 in the Atlantic Sun.
"We're feeling good about our season right now," Pettis said. "We just need to keep doing what we've been doing in conference."
