Women in Society directors consider ways to spend $3 million endowment By Leslie Knight Of ttw Emerald The directors of the Center for the Study of Women in Society still don't know when they will receive their $3 million endowment, but they do have some concrete plans on how to use it The grant, left to the center by the late William H Harris in June 1981, will be used to fund additional research and to bring visiting scholars to the University Joan Acker, director of the planning committee, says they will also offer fel lowships for graduate dissertations We feel it is very important to support the next generation of researchers,” says Acker, who also is an associate professor of sociology. Harris left the money to the center in honor of his wife, feminist writer Jane Grant, who died in I972 Grant was co founder of New Yorker magazine and co-founded the Lucy Stone league in 1921. The league worked on behalf of women who wanted to keep their maiden names. Acker says the center will use the money to further research on issues about women, including questions of sex role learning, gender identity, the sym bolic representation of men and women, and women and work, including domes tic work Although there are plans to bring in visiting professors, such as Bjorg So rensen this term, the center will not hire regular faculty using the endowment People hear the figure $3 million and don't understand that the center will not receive the money in a lump sum, Acker says The money will be invested and the center will operate using the interest, which Acker says she expects will be between $100,000 and $200,000 each year. “It will be very exciting to have any money at all,” Acker says The center has been existing on a budget of $5,000 a year, but that figure is misleading too, she says The center has had "a tremen dous amount of volunteer work” and the sociology department contributes half of Acker's time at the center, Acker says. There are plans to increse the mater ials in the center, located in PLC 605 Those plans call for an increase in the center’s library and article files, and keeping the center open all day long Acker says that when the money is received the center will ask for research proposals from graduate students and from faculty in sociology and other dis ciplines ‘There is a great deal of work in other disciplines that applies (to women's studies) so we will entertain proposals from other areas,” she says Research on women and gender is essential in order to make society ‘ more humane, more equal, Acker says “The research has important implica tions for changing the way we think as well as the way social life is organized," she says Although there has been a tremen dous amount of research on women recently, Acker says more is needed. "We need to find out what women's lives are like, we need to find out to what extent there is a female culture " Tight budget cuts housing Working within an already tight budget, the housing department is considering several cost cutting measures, Housing Director Dan Williams told the Residence Hall Governance Committee Monday Compared with last fall's expen ditures, the department has saved more than $99,470 despite working with a budget that is nine-tenths of a percent lower than last year, Williams said. The department has made major headway by saving $41,000, or 10 percent, in food costs over last year, he said. The department will not raise housing fees for summer term, even though there may be some rise in the housing costs, Williams added Also being considered is a new policy for the "no-show” rate for dormitory rooms, although the rate has decreased from 13 percent to eight percent, Williams said DOONESBURY by Garry Trudeau /58f. j \Xjfp iicfima** •jOUHCt) DO J*®*'**?
