Burk says she'll be happy to protest outside Augusta's gates

BOWLING GREEN, OHIO - A woman protesting a Georgia golf club&#39;s ban on female members said Wednesday she thinks there is a good chance that someone will disrupt the Masters golf tournament in April, but it won&#39;t be her. <br> <br> Burk said, ``If I parachuted into the first tee they wouldn&#39;t show it. If you want to get on TV, stay outside. That&#39;s why I&#39;m staying outside.&#39;&#39; <br> <br> Burk is chairwoman of the National Council of Women&#39;s Organizations and leader of the protest against Augusta National Golf Club policy on women members. She appeared at a news conference today at Bowling Green University in Ohio. <br> <br> Burk plans to file for a permit this week to demonstrate outside the golf club. The Reverend Jesse Jackson&#39;s Rainbow/PUSH Coalition has already asked for a permit in support of Burk and her cause. <br> <br> Burk, however, thinks her request for a permit will be denied. She has not ruled out an illegal demonstration. <br> <br> She said, ``We&#39;re not planning to do anything illegal. We&#39;re not planning to do anything disruptive. It won&#39;t kill me to get arrested.&#39;&#39; <br> <br> Burk said she is concerned that too many other organizations will attach themselves to the protest and cause trouble. <br> <br> She said, ``I don&#39;t want a cast of thousands down there. I think it will get chaotic and we won&#39;t get our message across.&#39;&#39; <br> <br> Burk was invited to Bowling Green State University to speak to students tonight about gender-equity issues and women&#39;s rights.
