Faculty

families couldn't understand why we were
starting over," they explain Malcolm studied for
his B.A., M A. and Ph D in anthropology June
McFee went back for her doctorate in education.
The McFees were part of the "Gl-bill people" on
college campuses in the early 1950s,
"By the way some of the professors acted it was
new to them,” to see married couples with
families, Malcolm says He found himself an even
greater anomaly as a 35-year-old undergraduate.
Unlike most married faculty, June McFee has
always been ahead of her husband in degree
status and tenure. They could only recall one
incident where this has led to cattiness; a
Stanford departmental dinner of June's where the
hostess asked, "Well, your husband has his
degree, doesn’t he?"
Malcolm considers his marriage a role model
"We were breaking ground,” he says.
"Mac didn't have the attitude of other males. He
wasn't trapped by mores," June explains about
their adjustment to student life with a 6-year-old
son. The only task for Malcolm to learn was the
washing.
"You liberated the laundry for men,” June
laughs as she explains the Stanford woman's joke
about married student families.
The McFees, though both employees of the
University for the last 17 years, have never worked
together. However, they have arranged to take
their sabbaticals at the same time He studied an
area's people, she the art and architecture.
"A married couple does less socially,” June
says, when both wife and husband have full-time
jobs. The McFees don't recommend two careers
"unless you can really communicate."
They also point out a problem that all the
couples interviewed share — the need for a
“housewife.” Unlike the other couples, the
McFees don't have a maid.
Malcolm looks forward to the "discovery” of his
recent retirement. June will teach one more year.
After so many years living among students, they
never intend to move to a retirement community.
June predicts that now that they both aren't
working life will be easier.
"Except I’ll be impatient for you to come
home,” Malcolm adds.
The Faurias
Charlene Fauria was reading a job description
for a marketing and career education position at
the Career Information System three years ago,
when she exclaimed, “but, together we (she and
her husband Tom) have all those skills. ”
The Faurias prepared a proposal to CIS, an
occupational and educational information service
located in Hendricks Hall, showing the benefits to
an organization from job sharing.
They explained how Charlene's background in
advertising and marketing and Tom s doctorate in
counseling-psychology combined skills that
would fill the position.
They got the position and for one year they
job-shared. Each worked three days a week, one
day together
"Tom preferred to do the training. I preferred to
do marketing," Charlene says
The year they job-shared they found traveling
together the most enjoyable aspect of their work
"We'd make a vacation of it," Charlene explains.
Last year Charlene went full-time and Tom four
days a week Tom became unit manager and
Charlene's boss Tom explains that his promotion
was due to his background being more consistent
with the job description.
"You don't manage your wife," Tom says
When he became unit manager he went through
an autocratic period which was quickly corrected
by Charlene and two other CIS researchers who
worked with them They worked by consensus
from then on.
Working almost full time together took some
adjustment for the Faurias.
"It was nice being together. But we were having
“unit” meetings at dinner,” Tom says. The Faur
ias made a truce not to talk about work at home.
At work, the Faurias concluded that there
wasn’t time for power struggles or making issues
of petty differences It became obvious that each
had a different style.
Charlene is now executive director of the Unit
ed Lane Forum. Tom is in the process of cutting
back his hours at CIS and setting up private
practice in counseling. His decision was "colored
by Charlene's departure,” which left him the
marketing work he does not particularly enjoy.
"Our leisure has become more important,"
Tom adds. He says he feels that one of the roles
spouses play is cheerleader and now they have to
fill each other in on their work experiences.
Charlene doesn’t agree that there is a need to
fill each other in on their work.
The Faurias intend to have children and Tom
feels that his private practice will give them more
time to “have them ”
“Don't tell me you’re pregnant?" Charlene
jokes.
