Major in women
By Szndy Mchr
Faculty members of the College of Arts and Sciences
will Vote next week on a new study course called women's
studies.
Through a proposal passed last week by the college's
curriculum committee, students will be able to major or
minor in a program focusing on women.
A major or minor in women's studies would be com
posed of already existing courses in the History, Sociolo
gy, Psychology, Biology, Literature, Political Science and
Philosophy Depts., said Sarah Hoagland, associate profes
sor of sociology and a member of the committee which
designed the program. Currently 55 credit hours of
courses could be listed under a women's studies program,
she said.
Student interest caused the formulation of a Women's
Studies proposal, Hoagland said. When the interest
became apparent to CoDege of Arts and Sciences Interim
Dean Max Larsen, he helped activate the study, she said.
The first women's studies course at UNL was offered
for no credit through Nebraska Free University during fall
1970. Today, 15 courses on women are offered.
The increasing number of such courses at UNL and
other universities is the "result of the burgeoning women's
movement of the late 1960s and the pioneering ventures
of women in a variety of disciplines, who introduced
courses directed to the interest, needs, and contributions
of women," according to Mary Jo Deegan. Deegan, assis-
KirkendaH wEl speak on the topic "History's Virtues
and History's Troubles" at 9 wa. Saturday at the
conference.
KirkendaH, who formerly taught at the University of
Missouri, has been executive secretary of the Organization
of American Hatoriaas since 1973. He has published
many works on modern American history.
His talk on Truman wl relate the current interest in
Truman to the "crisis fei leadership experienced in the
United States in recent years, Rawley said.
fOrkendaa has conducted research cn history
education throughout the nation. His studies have
included' legal requirements for history instruction,
curricular trends and enrollments, as well as attitudes
regarding history's value and teaching methods.
tobe
deci
tant professor of sociology, was another member of the
committee that designed the proposal.
The committee also discovered in a study that of the
more than 2,000 universities and colleges, 885 offer
women's studies courses. In addition, 39 universities,
including the University of Colorado and the University of
Kansas, offer bachelor of arts degrees in women's studies.
If the proposal is approved, a student possibly could
be graduated in women's studies by next year, Hoagland
said. She said the first student was graduated in women's
studies in 1974. The student, Patricia Kaminski, took the
program through University Studies.
Kaminski, a researcher for the Nebraska Legislature,
said she would not call herself a feminist. She said she
wanted to graduate in women's studies because she thinks
university courses ignore women to a certain extent.
"I would only have half a degree as far as I'm con
cerned," Kaminski said about receiving a degree in
another liberal arts area.
"In a lot of ways I'm getting a corrective degree," she
added.
Students who receive a B.A. in women's studies have
several career options, Hoagland said. They can get jobs
in counseling cases of rape, abortion or birth control;
women's resource centers, bookstores or coffeehouses;
teaching women's studies; or working in the women's
media.
ASUN instolls seven new sono?
Teachers College seot still vacont
re
S 9J g
By George Mffier Jr.
The ASUN Senate only has one vacant seat after the
swearing in of six Graduate Studies College senators and
cue Professional School senator Wednesday night
First Vice President Tony Williams swore in Frank
Thompson, Marie Engelke, Mike Duffy, Janet Rasmusson,
Ron S truss and Ron Stephens as new graduate senators.
Fred Kray also was sworn in as Professional School
senator.
The Senate now lacks only a repres-iwe from
Teachers College to replace Williams, who wo elected as a
Teachers College Senator but became first vice-president
following the resignatiai of Paula Haeder. Haeder was
elected first vice-president in the March 17 ASUN
election.
CBA accreditaticn
The Senate then heard a report by Ron Smith, Dean of
the College of Business Administration (CBA) about the
danger of CBA losing accreditation.
Smith told the Senate CBA needed 75 per cent of its
faculty on full-time professional status to retain its
accreditation. He said only 62 per cent of the faculty cur
rently serve full time.
Smith said that last year, six faculty, out of a total of
60, resigned. He asked for any support the Senate could
give and asked it to inform university executive officers
about student opinion on the matter.
In order to retain accreditation, Smith said, he might
have to limit enrollment in business classes by excludin?
freshman and non-business majors.
Sen. Frank Thompson said it would be two years be
fore CBA would be in actual danger of losing accredita
tion and that enrollment in the college could drop during
that txne,-thus lessening the dariger.
Smith replied there was no disagreement among uni
versity officials that enrollment would continue to rise.
FAB explains tends
The Senate then heard Don Vesely, chairman of the
Fees Allocation Board (FAB) explain FAB's financing of
various campus organizations.
Wesely told the senators a contingency fund of $5,000
in student activities fees remains for any new campus or
ganizations that might apply for funds next fail. He said
organizations that did not receive fees this semester are
discouraged from applying again next fall.
Wesely said FAB refused to reconsider giving student
fees to finance next fall's Homecoming elections after the
Senate last week urged them to provide money for the
election.
Fee increases seen
He said that an increase of $330 in student fees is for
seen by university adnjisistratioa next year, bringing the
total each student pays to $65 a semester. He said another
$5 jump is predicted for the 1977-78 school year.
In other action, the Senate passed resolutions naming
the Nebraska-Colorado football game as a "migration
game" and to recommend to Residence Hall Association
(RHA) that a system of consultation be established be
tween ASUN and RHA's executive leadership.
The Senate also heard a proposal by Steve Danzig of
the Indiana University Student Association that ASUN
sponsor a computer dating service as a money-making
project.
The Senate also elected Arts and Sciences Senator Ken
Christoffersen as speaker pro-tempo re of the Senate with
Graduate Sen. Mike Duffy and Teachers Sen. Eric Carsten
son elected to the Senate's executive committee.
