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
