Such Variety

The author of this column is a seniorin Arts & Sciences, photo editor of theCornell Daily Sun, and a regular con-tributor to the NEWS.

ON THE SECOND DAY of finalexams in December, itsnowed hard, accumulating

more than three inches before thestorm was over. Two days later, theair warmed up enough to melt muchof the snow, but as darkness fell, thetemperature did the same. A dampmist froze on contact and seeminglyclear streets became treacherous inhilly Ithaca. Late the following after-noon, the cloudiness slowly cleared,but hopes of fair weather disappearedwhen the next day dawned with freez-ing sleet gradually turning to steadyrain as warmer air approached. By theend of exams, a dense fog had settledover the Hill. Throughout the week-long period, the sun made only onebrief, token appearance.

However, most of us on campus

hardly noticed what was going on inthe clouds, not because we were total-ly immersed in our studies, but ratherbecause that's the way the weatherhad been all fall. The year before,Ithaca had enjoyed an uncharacteristi-cally benign climate. But this autumnmade believers out of all those whothought stories of atmospheric anticsover the Finger Lakes were exagger-ated. Referring to the bad weather histeam had to play in in 1972, FootballCoach Jack Musick lamented to analumni audience during Homecoming,"If you look outside and it's raining,it's Saturday." Few people laughed,probably only those who had traveledfrom Miami or Palm Springs.

For the month of October (themost recent period for which figureswere available when this was writ-ten), temperatures were seven de-grees below the average daily range of40 to 62. And on the nights of Octo-ber 20 and 21, temperatures of 18bettered by two degrees the previousOctober low, recorded in 1952. In ad-

dition, two inches of snow had ac-cumulated on October 19, consider-ably more than the three-tenths of aninch normal for all of October.

The man responsible for assemblingthis data, not only for Ithaca but formore than three hundred otherweather stations in New York, is StateClimatologist Boyd Pack. Although heis an employe of the NationalWeather Service, his office is locatedin the Department of AtmosphericSciences (formerly Meteorology) ofthe College of Agriculture in Ithaca.Pack is the co-author of a short paperthat should be required reading foranyone planning to live in Ithaca.Titled 'The Climate of Ithaca, NewYork" and published by the Agschool, it states bluntly what a new-comer can expect:

'Ίthaca has a humid continentaltype climate. The summers are warmand the winters long and cold. Thereare frequent periods of stormyweather, particularly in the winter.Because it is in or near the path of

MEMO FROM:Charles E. Treman, Jr., ChairmanNational Estate Affairs Committee

As a bank officer, 1 am all too frequentlyshocked to discover that some otherwisesensible and intelligent friend has put offwriting his or her will, usually for reasonsthat are almost superstitious. The result,in most cases, is tragic, costly, andtotally unnecessary.

Almost as bad is the out-dated will,written ten or twenty years ago. Often,even five years can bring enough changes inyour wishes--or in your estate tax position--to merit revisions in the wording of yourwill.

If your will is out-of-date or, worse still,non-existent, I urge you to correct thesituation now!

Sincerely,

'30Charles E. Treman, Jr.

P. S. If your will provides for a gift toCornell, please let us know, so that

major weather systems moving acrossthe nation, Ithaca's weather is subjectto variety. Temperature, wind, humid-ity, and other weather elements tendto change from day to day, and fromweek to week. Seasonal weather variesfrom year to year.

"At times, however, conditions suchas unseasonably warm or cold temper-atures will persist for several days.One persistent feature is cloudy skiesduring the colder months. On the av-erage there are about 175 cloudy daysper year; about 20 such days occur ineach of the three winter months.Clear days total about 80, and partlycloudy days about 110 annually. Thepercentage of possible sunshine in-creases from an average of 30 percent in November and December tonear 60 per cent in June and July."

Wanting to know a little moreabout that about which I can do noth-ing, I visited Pack shortly beforeChristmas. I was primarily interestedin his reaction to the disdain mostCornellians have for the local climate."It shows," he said, "a lack of knowl-edge about the statistics. I certainlywouldn't say that the winters here areso atrocious." He went on to mentionthat Ithaca weather was similar toother areas along the Great Lakes likeDetroit, Cleveland, and Buffalo, andthat the continual presence of a cov-er of clouds often helps to keep thetemperatures higher in the winter be-cause clouds have a blanketing effect,on the heat that radiates from theEarth after dark.

"New York State has more factorsaffecting the weather than perhapsany other state in the Union," Packwent on. He explained how cold conti-nental air from Canada and warmmaritime air from the Atlantic andGulf of Mexico could cause complexweather patterns when converging overthe Ithaca area. He thought many Cor-nell students probably miss the bestthing about Ithaca weather, the sum-mers. "We don't get the muggy andhumid weather you have down on thecoast," he said, but was quick to pointout that last summer, with its abnor-mally high precipitation, was an excep-tion. "Still, when you compare it to aplace like the Pacific Northwest . . ."he added with a tone of one whocounts his blessings.

Pack's positive view of Ithacaweather is based on personal knowl-edge of the climate in many parts of

the country. He was born in Utah andeducated in North Carolina, and hasbeen a meteorologist since World WarII. He held the position of state clima-tologist in Connecticut, Rhode Island,and South Dakota, before coming toNew York. I found it reassuringthat he did not find the weather par-ticularly distressing by comparison tothe weather of his other posts. Atleast, he says he has no plans to leavetown.

At Cornell, the meteorology depart-ment occupies a very suitable loca-tion—the top floor of Bradfield Hall,the eleven-story brick monolith whichis the highest building on campus. Atone point in my interview, Pack wasexplaining that twenty inches of snowhad already fallen by the middle ofDecember (twenty-one inches is nor-mal for the whole month), but turningto observe the blizzard continuing out-side, he added, "We probably havetwo or three more by now." I said itwas fortunate the meteorology depart-ment was located on top of the build-ing, because it was the only floor withwindows.

"When they were building thisplace," he noted, "we told them we'dhave to be able to see what theweather was doing." At a time whenso much emphasis is put on weathersatellites, radar cloud pictures, radiotransmitting balloons and the like, itwas good to know some meteorolo-gists put stock in simple visual obser-vations.

My own simple observation—squinting out the window—was heavysnow. Visibility about six inches. On aclear day the view must be great fromup here, I thought, and resolved toreturn again around the middle ofJune.

A Cornell Professor SpeaksThe following letter was written to CACBE nearly two

years ago by a Cornell professor who was then, and no doubtstill is, in excellent standing in University circles. It waswritten as a sequel to various telephone conversations.

"Five years ago I would have questioned very seriouslythe wisdom of a board of university trustees that chose toconcern itself directly with educational affairs—in particu-lar, matters of the intellectual objectivity and representa-tiveness of the faculty.

"I now think differently. It is clear that there is a rulingorthodoxy of opinion in several disciplines. Balance, diver-sity, and toleration all have been sacrificed. In school afterschool, the only views the students ever hear are from theleft in one form or another. This includes teaching andpublic speakers. In some cases the faculty [members] evenhave inspired disruptive and illegal conduct by students.

"I do not indict all members of the teaching professionfor this gross betrayal of their calling. But enough casesnow exist to make the problem of urgent concern to thetrustees of most institutions. But what can they do?

"There is no easy solution. My own view is that a givenboard should begin regular examinations of each of thedisciplines most vulnerable to these abuses. The inquirycan be conducted best by a small ad hoc committee, care-fully drawn from the profession and from outside institu-tions. As to the selection of the members of such com-mittees, we have the old problem of how can the patientchoose the best physician. There is no foolproof method.

"Let such a committee look into the given department—its makeup, its outlook, its teaching, its curriculum, andits record of achievement. Include in the investigation openhearings, testimony, and documentary evidence. Have thecommittee report to the board, and let the board act uponits recommendations.

"This will not be easy. But it must be done if our uni-versities are to regain, or to protect, objectivity, fairness,and detachment from partisan politics.

"Sincerely,"

The foregoing is the entire letter minus a dozen words orso of introduction and the signature.

Are Alumni in the Community?

EDITOR: If the Cornell University Sen-ate is given so much authority in theadministration of the university be-cause, as it is said, it is representativeof the "Cornell community," why arethe Cornell alumni given only a tokenrepresentation in the Senate? Aren'tthe alumni considered a part of the"Cornell community"?

Howard Joseph '33

The following is an excerpt from aletter about Howard Joseph '33 ofChicago, who died in September1972.

EDITOR: . . . I came to know Howardthrough his energetic and imaginativework with the Alumni SecondarySchools Committee and my work inArts college admissions and academic

advising. He initiated and organizedinteresting programs, and in the pro-cess he recruited scores of students forCornell. Howard frequently hostedCornell representatives when theywere in the Chicago area. He wasgenerous and interesting; he was agentleman and an intellectual.

It is sad that Howard didn't live toreceive the calls of appreciation fromthe many students whom he helpedduring recent years. They includethose who needed money for specialprojects and those whom he called,both long distance and when he wason campus, just to say hello and askabout their progress.

He recruited students, but he didn'tleave it at that. His recruits were peo-ple about whom he was concerned, sohe followed their careers.

Howard Joseph enriched Cornell byaffecting people in it and by advisingand encouraging courses of action forthe institution to take.

God bless him.ROBERT A. SCOTT

Another Sports Nut

EDITOR: Having been a "sports nut"as far back as I can recall, I foundthe piece on sports nicknames byThomas W. Mackesey in your Decem-ber issue the best thing of its sort Iever have read. Since I was able toanswer correctly 102 of the items inthe quiz and the author asserts thatcorrect answers for more than 90 sug-gest a misspent youth, obviously Imust have wasted a lot of time whenI was young.

Perhaps Mr. Mackesey will notmind my making a few corrections inhis otherwise noteworthy contribution:

The All-American end on the '21Rose Bowl team from the Universityof California which trounced OhioState 28-0 was "Brick" Muller, notMueller.

Iron man of the Old New YorkGiant pitching staff spelled his nameMcGinnity, not McGinty.

Jumping Joe, the wrestler, was Sav-oldi, not Savaldi.

Pistol Pete was Reiser, not Rieser.The woodchopper was not Palino

Richard's junior high school coun-selor in Chicago told him he'd findchallenge and opportunity at North-field Mount Hermon.

Because he liked math, Richardtook math for twelve trimesters. Hisability in Spanish qualified him for aterm in Spain where he lived with aSpanish family and attended a Spanishschool.

As president of a sixty memberAfro-Am Society, Richard was able tostart fulfilling his desire to hastenblack progress and develop his leader-ship talents.

We don't pretend that Richard isan average student. (He won a fresh-man scholarship at Harvard; he'll paythe difference with a job.) But North-field Mount Hermon doesn't deal inaverages.

To explain, the University ReviewBoard removed a disciplinary notationfrom a former student's academictranscript in early October. It felt thatif one former student should be ac-corded this privilege, it should beavailable to all former students as long


as it is not the current practice toenter disciplinary notations on aca-demic transcripts.

6Γhe Making of aCampus feministBy J.S.W. '62

HEN i FIRST took the job at

University, a female colleague remarkedthat there was extensive discrimination

against women there. I was surprised tohear that since, after all, they had hired me. AndI was conspicuously pregnant at the time, too. Howcould a school which had hired me in that conditiondiscriminate against women?

Of course, they hadn't definitely offered me the jobuntil July, just two months before classes were to start,so I had clearly not been their first choice. And, ofcourse, I had been questioned extensively regarding myarrangements for child care. Did I think I could handlethe job with a baby at home? Would I be neglecting thechild? What did my husband think about it? (Myhusband had not run into such questions at his jobinterviews.) And, of course, the salary wasconsiderably below the going rate, and the office andlab space which I was given was much smaller thananyone else's.

Nevertheless, it was a job, at a fairly good institution,and I was happy to have it. I considered myself luckyto have found a job at a school near the one where myhusband had been hired. (That school could not haveconsidered me because of nepotism rules.)

During my second year, my chairman inquired aboutmy plans for the future. Was I planning a continuouscareer in academia or was I just in the fieldtemporarily? This seemed an odd question, since I wasfulfilling all my teaching responsibilities and doingresearch besides. What could have given him the

This article was written by an alumna from the early'60s classes, in response to the request by the NEWSfor comments on the role of alumnae as women. The authorteaches at a major Eastern University, and we have agreedwith her wish to be anonymous.

impression that I was not as committed as everyoneelse? (It reminded me of a lengthy discussion severalyears earlier with one of my professors in graduateschool, who was somewhat skeptical as to whether Iwas "really serious" about going for a PhD.).

After three years at University I was not put up

for promotion despite a good teaching record andseveral publications. I later found out that the reasonwas that I was pregnant with my second child, and thetenured members of the department did not knowwhether I would be able to manage with two childrenat home rather than one. (I had lost no teaching timewith the first, who was born in the summer. Thesecond, which was planned to come during winterbreak, came a little early and I missed a total of twodays of teaching.)

During the next year some tenured women (there wereonly eight tenured women on a faculty of more than250) analyzed the position of women at our college.They found that women were concentrated in the lowerranks. Of the men on the faculty, 30 per cent wereinstructors and 23 per cent were full professors. Amongthe women, on the other hand, 53 per cent wereinstructors and only 7 per cent were full professors.The higher the rank, the greater the difference betweenthe percentage of men and of women who had reachedit. Many women were hired at the instructor andassistant professor level but were not promoted to higherranks. Many others were "off the ladder" in lecturerand adjunct positions. A study of salaries revealed thatat each rank there was a pay differential between menand women, the differential increasing to $4,000 at thefull professor level. In many cases men of lower rankwere paid more than women of higher rank, but in nocase was the reverse true. Women were virtuallynonexistent in upper administrative posts, and facultywomen were poorly represented on importantcommittees.

My consciousness was getting raised. Why did thatsenior professor in our department refer to all thewomen professors as "Mrs." while his male colleagueswere always "Dr."? Why did all the special teachingassignments and extra money go to the male graduatestudents? Why were there no female departmentchairmen? Why were there no tenured women inEnglish and no women at all in History, both largedepartments and fields in which a great number of


PhDs are awarded to women? Why, when there was anopening, did they look for a "good man for the job?"Why was I making less money than two men whoreceived their PhDs some years after I did, and whohad not published anything at all?

Then came the final radicalizing incident, a discussionwith a contemporary colleague with whom I sharedteaching the introductory course. This was an unwieldlycourse, with 1,000 students, four lecture sections, andabout twenty-five laboratory sections. The course hadbeen tossed around to various junior faculty membersbecause no one wanted to take on overall responsibilityfor revising, coordinating, and administrating it on asteady basis, and it needed it desperately.

My colleague and I felt there was a need to hire a newfaculty member for this special purpose, and wedecided to write a letter to the department chairmanstating this need. My colleague wrote the letter andbrought it to me for my signature. In the letter was astatement about the qualifications of the prospectiveindividual: "He should be a man and havesuch-and-such qualifications." I questioned him on whyhe felt it necessary to specify the sex of the person.HE: "This job requires a great amount ofadministration. Women are terrible administrators."ME: (taken aback) "Some are good, some are bad.Some men are good, some men are bad. You can'tmake such a generalization."HE: "But running this course requires getting therespect and cooperation of two dozen graduatestudents. How could a woman do that?"ME: (shocked and getting angry) "Some could, somecouldn't. Some men could, some men couldn't."

I refused to sign the letter. That incident was the finalshock needed to awaken me. More and more women atuniversities throughout the country are beginning torecognize the discrimination against them and to unitein fighting for equal pay and opportunities, equaltreatment and respect. That academia, the supposedbastion of tolerance and reason, should have suchpervasive sexual bias comes as quite a shock. Onehopes that the universities will make a seriouscommitment to correct the inequities which they havecreated, rather than put forth only the token measureswhich we have seen thus far.

cWomenCornellThe experience of J.S.W. '62 is typical of the situationwomen are finding at universities across the country.Women are concluding that they are not being treatedequally with men—that they are, in fact, beingtreated unfairly.

Is this the case at Cornell? Has it always been?Will it continue to be? What do Cornell alumnaethink about their role as women in America? Thesequestions seemed particularly appropriate this year,the 100th anniversary of the start of work on SageCollege for Women and of the graduation of thefirst woman from Cornell.

To find the answers, Associate Editor Elise Hancockgathered material from and about Cornell women.In the following pages, we present the results.

Ms. Hancock left the NEWS last fall to become editorof The Johns Hopkins Magazine, so the selection andpresentation of the material she gathered has beenin male hands.


GΓodayBy Margaret Condon '68 and Jennie Farley '54

HE FIRST woman accepted as a student atCornell was Jennie Spencer of Cortland, whoentered in September 1870. She couldn't findlodgings on the hill and had to climb up from

downtown two or three times a day. Whether it wasthe climb or the reception she received, somethingdiscouraged her and she left the university almostimmediately.

Four years earlier, Ezra Cornell had entertained theidea of having a "female department" at his new uni-versity, but the idea was thought too radical at the timeand was set aside until 1872, when Sage College forWomen was established. Cornell's first graduate wasEmma Sheffield Eastman '73, a transfer from Vassar,who went on to gain a certain renown as a lecturer forsuffrage.

The first woman professor at Cornell was AnnaBotsford Comstock '86, who was named in 1898. Hertitle was changed to lecturer after a term because, it issaid, certain trustees objected to women professors.Fifteen years later she was again named an assistantprofessor. She was finally made full professor in 1919,when she was near retirement.

The first woman staff member might have been oneof the persons who helped prepare the strawberries, icecream, cake, and lemonade served at the first Com-mencement in 1869.

When Ezra Cornell laid the cornerstone of SageCollege, he was nervous about experimenting with ed-ucation for women. He put a letter in the cornerstone,explaining, he said, why the experiment might fail.

Has the experiment succeeded? Where do womenstand at Cornell today? We here survey the nature ofthe woman's role at Cornell, founded to offer instruc-tion to any person in any study. The statistics arebased on figures gathered in mid-1972.

[FACULTY]

The Cornell University faculty on the Ithaca campusnumbers about 1,453 professors, associate professors,and assistant professors, of whom 106 (7 per cent) arewomen. Ten of these women do not teach undergradu-ates; they hold appointments in Gannett Clinic andCooperative Extension. Of the remaining 96, morethan half are in the College of Human Ecology, where

they represent 58 per cent of the faculty. Architecture,Engineering, Hotel Administration, I&LR, and theVeterinary College each have only one woman facultymember, and Law and B&PA have none.

[FACULTY RANK]

Not only are there few women on the faculty, butthose few tend to be bunched at the bottom of theacademic ladder. Forty-two per cent of all women onthe faculty are assistant professors, whereas only 26per cent of the men hold that rank. At the other end ofthe scale, half of the men of the faculty are full profes-sors, but only one-fifth of the women have reachedthat rank.

There have been signs of progress in the last fewyears. For the first time in Cornell history, a womanhas been named to an endowed chair: she is EleanorJ. Gibson, the Susan Linn Sage professor of psycholo-gy. There is, at last, a woman faculty member in theDepartment of History: she is Mary Beth Norton,assistant professor, speaker of the University Senate,and a member of the Faculty Board of the Women'sStudies Program. Also, Eleanor Jorden has beennamed professor of linguistics, bringing to two the totalnumber of women full professors in the College ofArts and Sciences. The Africana Studies and ResearchCenter has the one black faculty woman at Cornell:Hamida Maalim, an assistant professor who is coordi-nator of the African Language Program.

Nevertheless, women as a group are losing groundon the faculty. For every new woman faculty membercoming to Cornell, one is lost, either through retire-ment or because a young professor accepts an appoint-ment elsewhere. University administrators have ex-pressed dismay at this trend, especially in schools andcolleges where there are many women students.

One interesting development is the emergence offaculty couples. There are now nine instances in whichboth husband and wife hold regular faculty appoint-ments. Earlier, when "anti-nepotism" customs ob-tained, such appointments were frowned upon. Somepeople still feel that it is undesirable to have twopersons from the same family in the same department;others take the view that the university should hire onmerit and set aside questions of marital status entirely.


Women at Cornell

[THE PARA-FACULTY]

Most of the women who teach and do research atCornell are not on the faculty at all. That is, they donot hold "ladder" appointments leading to tenure, butare members of the "para-faculty" of lecturers, instruc-tors, research associates, visiting professors, adjunctprofessors, Extension associates, etc. In 1971, about125 women held such appointments.

There is some evidence that about half of this groupfelt they were there because they were women. Theother half were there by choice. More than one saidshe was happier "out of the rat race." She likedteaching her one or two courses and she didn't want toget into the competition for tenure.

Whatever their sentiments, it is clear that womenpara-faculty members differ from women faculty mem-bers in one way: their marital status. One tabulationshowed that about two-thirds of the faculty womenwere classified as "not married now"—that is, theywere single, divorced, separated, or widowed. Of thepara-faculty, about two-thirds were "married now,"with, as social scientists say, "husband present."

[STAFF]

There are some 6,500 regular, full-time employes onthe Ithaca campus, including faculty. Of this workforce, 45 per cent are women, but comparatively fewhave professional jobs. In addition to the 106 facultywomen and the 125 para-faculty women, there are 72librarians and 6 assistant or associate deans. Almostall the rest are service workers and clerical workers.

In many respects, Cornell as an employer reflectsthe employment patterns of society as a whole. Womenworkers do "women's work;" men do "men's work."Women almost never supervise men, except in specialcircumstances such as training classes, from which themen often emerge to be promoted to better jobs thanthe women who trained them will ever hold.

There is an almost total absence of women in thecentral administration of Cornell. There is no womanvice president and no woman dean on the Ithaca cam-pus. Some 140 men hold the title of director, headingresearch projects, centers, and administrative unitssuch as admissions and financial aid. There are onlysix women directors, and they tend to head such unitsas Women's Physical Education and the craft shop atNorth Campus Union. Some 63 per cent of the profes-sional librarians on campus are women, but all sevenof the library directors are men.

[EQUAL PAY]

Is there equal pay for equal work? Since there is nofixed salary for an academic post, it is difficult to saythat women professors are paid less, except insofar aswomen tend to have lower-ranked jobs. At this writ-ing, the University Libraries are undertaking a reviewof salaries paid to male and female employes.

Non-academic staff members who are women tendto be administrative aides; men, administrative assist-ants, who are higher on the career ladder and betterpaid. Women are seen as fitted for (and they some-times choose) clerical jobs which men do not aspire to.

[STUDENTS]

When Jennie Spencer came to Cornell, she was out-numbered by male students 600 to one. By 1874, theinflux of "coeds" had reduced the ratio to about thir-teen to one. The ratio was down to about three andone-half to one by the early 1960s, and incomingfreshman women were regaled with stories about theratio: of those three and one-half available men, onewas engaged, one was pinned, one was too studious,and, of course, no one wanted half a man.

Last year (1971-72), a century after Jennie Spencerenrolled, women finally comprised over one-fourth ofthe total Ithaca student body. Now, more than one-third of the freshman class is female, although they arenot evenly distributed throughout the university.In 1971, 27 per cent of the undergraduate enrollmentin the endowed colleges was female, as was 40 percent in the statutory colleges, which include the tradi-tionally female-oriented College of Human Ecology,where the enrollment was 90 per cent women. In theCollege of Engineering, on the other hand, only onestudent out of fifty was a woman.

By the graduate level, the percentage of womenstudents drops to less than 25 per cent in the GraduateSchool, 10 per cent in the Law School, and only 4 percent in Business & Public Administration.

The Arts college was and still is the only undergrad-uate unit to announce its intention of enrolling a fresh-man class half male and half female. Women, howev-er, are not usurping traditionally "male" places, be-cause, rather than decrease the number of men ad-mitted, the college decided to increase its total enroll-ment by nearly 700 over a four-year period beginningin 1970.

[GRADES]

In terms of grades, women consistently outperformmale undergraduates. Little has changed in this respectduring the past century. Morris Bishop, in A Historyof Cornell, observed that "the early coeds were clearlyan exceptional group. . . . They did well in theirclasses, averaging about 10 per cent better, than theboys."

More recently, records of the registrar since 1954-55show that female students in all seven undergraduatedivisions maintain grade point averages about one-fourth of a point higher than the males, on a 4.3 scale.As a group women fell below men only once—by .04of a point, in Engineering three years ago.

In 1971, nearly 45 per cent of Phi Beta Kappa'sinvitations to seniors went to women, who comprisedonly 30 per cent of the class. In the College of Agricul-


ture and Life Sciences, nearly two and one-half timesas many women were invited to join the academichonorary Phi Kappa Phi, compared to their proportionof the senior class.

[ADMISSION]

Despite their higher academic record, freshman wom-en showed an admission rate slightly below that formen for the fall of 1971. Just under 37 per cent of thewomen and just over 40 per cent of the men whoapplied were accepted. The same type of discrepancyheld for transfer students and' applicants to the Grad-uate School.

[HOUSING]

Among women, competition for admission to Cornellhas traditionally been keen, due in part to the universi-ty's compulsory room and board requirements forwomen, which limited women's enrollment to the num-ber of "female beds" available. The residence require-ment first appeared a few years after the opening ofSage College, to insure that the building would befilled. (Steam heat and baths were offered to the coedsas recompense for their loss of choice of living quar-ters.)

From that time until 1965, all single undergraduatewomen were required to live in university housing orin sorority houses. During that time, men students werefree to choose their residence. Freshmen men werefirst required to live in university housing in 1968, andit was not until 1969 that the same residence require-ments were applied to both men and women, finallyeliminating housing regulations as a factor in admis-sion.

Even married women students have been subject toinequitable housing regulations. It was not until threeyears ago that a married woman graduate studentcould obtain university housing provided for marriedstudents; previously only males were eligible. Noweligibility is based on being an adult student with alegally dependent minor or a married student andspouse with or without children.

[FINANCIAL AID]

Undergraduate women are nearly as well off as men inregard to the distribution of university scholarship aidawards. Females, comprising 36 per cent of the 1971freshman class, received 32 per cent of the awards.Among those students admitted to Cornell but deniedaid, only 18 per cent were women.

Women hold a slight edge in restricted scholarshipfunds. Of the nearly 150 endowed scholarships ad-ministered by the Office of Scholarships and FinancialAid, 18 per cent were available only to women and 10per cent were restricted to men.

Graduate women were also treated equitably, withjust over 80 per cent of both men and women re-ceiving full financial support.

[ATHLETIC FACILITIES]

Despite aspersions cast by generations of Cornell maleson the size of coeds' calves, women students do com-paratively poorly in competing for the use of athleticfacilities and for financial backing for intercollegiatesports programs.

In 1971, 16 per cent of Cornell intercollegiate ath-letes were women, but their teams received less than 4per cent of the intercollegiate athletic budget. Lastyear it was up to 5 per cent.

Interest in women's intercollegiate athletics hasgrown steadily over the past decade, with nine of thepresent fourteen women's teams being initiated orreactivated since the completion of Helen NewmanHall. This building was the first athletic facility everbuilt especially for women at Cornell, despite a cen-tury-old policy of "separate but equal" facilities. Thefirst regulation-size playing field for women is beingbuilt next to Helen Newman Hall.

[EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES]

In some non-academic extra-curricular areas, sexdiscrimination against female students is breakingdown, most noticeably in the Big Red Marching Band.Threatened with the loss of student fees, the bandadmitted women for the first time in 1970. In 1971about one-fifth of the members were women—wearingmen's uniforms.

The Cornell Glee Club remains entirely male, but asof this fall no longer specifically excludes women.Women may now audition and join the club if theyhave voices in the male range and quality. The firstsuch audition may take place this term.

Successes in the student news media have been mix-ed. During the last five years, a woman has beeneditor-in-chief of the Cornell Daily Sun on one occa-sion, but three of the paper's fourteen positions havenever been held by a woman. At WVBR, the student-owned and operated radio station, women have neverheld as many as half of the positions.

[HEALTH CARE]

University Health Services has followed a policy thatseems to short-change women students seeking exami-nations relating to birth-control. These exams are con-sidered "elective services" and are therefore not cov-ered under the university's compulsory health plan.In a collaborative effort with the local Planned Parent-hood Clinic, the university has paid—from studentfees—a physician to staff the clinic; in addition, how-ever, clients have been asked to pay for their exam-inations on a sliding-fee scale, a procedure not usedfor any other type of Cornell student health service.One estimate is that these fees amount to about $15,-000 a year.

Beginning this year, student spouses (most of whomare women) are permitted to buy into a health care

plan identical to the compulsory plan for students. Thiscovers unlimited visits to Gannett Clinic and fourteendays hospitalization, but it does not cover routine pre-natal and obstetric care or abortions, since these areconsidered "elective services." In contrast, intramuralathletic injuries are considered non-elective and arecovered by the plan.

[CONCLUSION]

Where do women stand at Cornell University today?As always, women students distinguish themselvesacademically. The women on the faculty are few.Women staff members abound, but few are in leader-ship jobs. It may be that the new awareness of wom-en's rights and responsibilities—as symbolized bytwenty-five active women's groups on campus—willbring about change at Cornell.

[WOMEN'S STUDIES]

In the spring of 1970, Cornell offered what is be-lieved to have been the first interdisciplinary course,for academic credit, on women taught at a majorAmerican university: Human Development 390, "TheEvolution of Female Personality."

Subsequently, the faculty, students, and staff in-volved in the course formed a program to encouragemore teaching and research on women. The program,initially known as Female Studies, was later renamedWomen's Studies. It had considerable difficulty definingand organizing itself and gaining financial support in atight budget time. But, in April 1972 the Arts collegefaculty voted to accept Women's Studies as a properprogram and to empower it to offer accredited courses.The program is guided by a Faculty Board of profes-sors from Arts & Sciences, Human Ecology, Industrial& Labor Relations, and Agriculture & Life Sciences.

Students have pressed for the inclusion of more ma-terial on women in the curriculum. During the 1972fall term, the program co-sponsored four courses and isoffering eight in the spring. All of the courses are opento men, and about a fifth of the students who enroll aremales.

[NATIONAL ORGANIZATION FOR WOMEN]

Women students and staff have joined NOW ingrowing numbers. The original chapter, founded in

1969, has recently been reorganized as "United Sis-ters" (US). This campus group sponsors a career coun-seling service by bringing women from many profes-sions to speak to undergraduates. US works with theuniversity's Career Center in Sage Hall and maintainsoffices there.

A second NOW chapter was founded in the Ithacacommunity last fall. Its ranks include business andprofessional women and graduate students.

[NEW SPECIAL-INTEREST GROUPS]

Women in many colleges and schools at Cornell havebanded together to advance their professional interests.Among these recently formed groups are Women inArchitecture, Women in Planning, Women in Businessand Public Administration, Women in Industrial andLabor Relations, and the Cornell Chapter of the Soci-ety of Women Engineers.

Every two weeks, a Graduate Women in SocialScience Research Group holds an informal seminar atwhich students exchange information about their proj-ects. A Graduate Women in Science organizationsponsors lectures throughout the year. The Women'sLaw Coalition, composed of women Law students, hasworked steadily to advance the status of women in thelegal profession and to prevail upon the Cornell Lawfaculty to expand its ranks to include a woman profes-sor. Many male law students joined with the women'sgroup in boycotting law firms which refused to inter-view women when recruiting on campus.

Women in Human Ecology publishes a feministnewsletter each month. The first four issues have hon-ored Susan B. Anthony, Angela Davis, Nguyen ThiBinh, and Virginia Woolf.

An active group called "Woman is My Name" iscomposed of women singers, dancers, and artists—performers who came together as a result of the"Women in the Arts" festival held on campus lastspring. It meets weekly at the Women's Center, ameeting place in downtown Ithaca that was founded byCornell students and former students.

An organizational meeting of Cornell's newestgroup, Black Sisters, was held in December.

[ESTABLISHED ORGANIZATIONS]

The Cornell Women's Club of Ithaca continues itssteady support of the Federation of Cornell Women'sClubs scholarships. The Graduate Wives Club, primari-ly a social organization, invited speakers from the Pro-fessional Skills Roster staff and from the Women'sStudies Program to a meeting last fall. A study group toconsider the role of women in society has been addedto the groups in the long-established Campus Club, anorganization composed mainly of spouses of facultymembers.

The local chapter of the American Association ofUniversity Women sponsored an intersession programin January 1973 called "Second Careers for University

Women." And the state's Cooperative Extension, basedat Cornell, has expanded its short course offerings toinclude programs on women in the work force andworkshops for women wanting to return to work orstudy. The Metropolitan District of the School of In-dustrial & Labor Relations offers seminars for womenunionists.

[PROFESSIONAL SKILLS ROSTER]

The Roster is a volunteer-staffed employment service inIthaca. Each year since 1967, it has placed some 100men and women in temporary and permanent, part-time and full-time jobs. The roster is especially usefulto women who want to continue with professional workduring the time in their lives when they have familyresponsibilities.

[AFFIRMATIVE ACTION]

University Affirmative Action Officer Ramon Riverahas characterized his mission as helping Cornell "seekout, hire, and promote members of minority groups andwomen." He is broadening the search system for bothfaculty and non-faculty employes to encourage applica-tions from persons who might otherwise not knowabout openings at Cornell. (The university is required

to have such a program in order to receive federalcontracts.)

[UNIVERSITY OMBUDSMAN]

University Ombudsman Byron Yaffe, Industrial & La-bor Relations, says that his office has received com-plaints of discrimination against women in regard toacademic and non-academic employment, graduate ed-ucation, and the use of recreational facilities.

[UNIVERSITY COMMITTEES]

The University Senate's Committee on Minority andDisadvantaged Interests has set up a sub-committee toreview the status of women at Cornell. A Senate rec-ommendation has led to a year-long university study ofthe day care needs of the Cornell community. TheSenate has also endorsed the Women's Studies Pro-gram and the effort to obtain equal access for womento athletic facilities.

In December, the Provost's Advisory Committee onthe Status of Women, reorganized last summer to in-clude women students and staff as well as faculty,issued a list of seven recommendations for improvingthe status of Cornell women. Among them: a call forwomen in the central administration, requests for es-tablishment of part-time professorships and expansionof Affirmative Action activities for women, and a rec-ommendation that pay scales for non-academic em-ployes be reviewed to ensure equal pay for equal work.

An ad hoc committee on continuing education haspresented a petition to the university's Personnel Poli-cies and Planning Board requesting free or reducedtuition for qualified persons who are spouses of facultyand staff members.

[TRUSTEE COMMITTEE]

Perhaps the most significant development for all wom-en on campus was the formation of the Trustee Com-mittee on the Status of Women at Cornell. The com-mittee, formed in December 1971, is under the chair-manship of Trustee Constance E. Cook '41, a memberof the New York State Assembly.

In April 1972, the committee held an open meetingchaired by Trustee Patricia J. Carry '50. Some fiftywomen faculty members, students, and employesbrought issues to the attention of the committee, whichhas formulated recommendations to be presented to theboard as a whole.

[PROSPECTS]

If women were equally represented on the faculty, inthe student body, and in staff jobs, Cornell would be adifferent university and, many feel, a better one. Theuniversity, like so many institutions in American soci-ety, is male-oriented and always has been. In 1872,Cornell was a leader in opening university education towomen. In 1973, the womeii at Cornell are makingthemselves heard.


A StudentBy Diana Markscheid 73

q THINK they want too much equality." "Theytalk a lot but its just rhetoric." 'They're abunch of dykes." "Most girls think women'sliberation is ridiculous."

The idea of "liberation" strikes most Cornell stu-dents as good. The counterculture and the variousspecific liberationist movements, such as black liber-ation and third world liberation, have found broadideological support among students. But with women'sliberation harsh reservations come on the scene.

Almost without exception, Cornell undergraduatesare fully in favor of equalizing job opportunities forwomen—the cry of "equal pay for equal work." Be-yond that, however, a surprising number of liberal menand women take vehement issue with the other, morepopularized tenets of the women's movement. Eileen,for example, a sophomore in Human Ecology, wants tosupervise child-rearing and she fears that the Move-ment might deny her that opportunity.

A woman student with different priorities is Sue,Arts '73, who concentrates her energy on studying andpreparing for a career in medicine or law (dean's listevery term), rather than working with a movementtoward women's equality. Probably she will benefitfrom Movement pressures against sex discrimination.

The most active woman's group on campus is NOW,the National Organization of Women (not affiliatedwith the national group). Last spring, under NOW'ssupervision, Ithaca witnessed its second annual Wom-en's Festival, featuring lectures and exhibitions of artby women, films, dance, music, panel discussions,workshops, and a dance for women only.

In connection with the festival, some women ar-ranged for Jill Johnston, a lesbian writer for the Vil-lage Voice, to visit Ithaca the following week. InNoyes Center's third floor lounge she spoke verywarmly and frankly about her life, opening with theremark, "Feminism is a complaint. Lesbianism is asolution."

Not everyone would agree that the situation is thatsimple, but the relationship between lesbianism andfeminism (women's liberation) is the subject of a greatmany rap groups and private discussions. She elabo-rates: "Lesbians are an example of the woman-identified woman. That means that you identify your-

self as a woman and not as a man. Most people whoare career-oriented are man identified; they try to actlike men. Whereas a gay woman accepts her fe-maleness and she's female-oriented. That doesn't meanthat to be a woman-identified woman you have to begay, but all gay women are woman-identified women."

At one gay zap session, a confrontation between gaypeople and straight (heterosexual) people, a gay wom-an suggested that women who were at all serious aboutunderstanding sex roles and changing them should trybeing gay. This woman maintained that she had neverbefore realized the extent of her social conditioning.Lesbianism allowed her to see herself as a whole per-son, instead of as the appendage of a man.

This idea has engendered a brand of personal fana-ticism among some declared feminists, who experimentwith gay-ness as one stage in liberating themselvesfrom men. Beth, Arts '74, one of the organizers ofNOW, believes that it's wrong to try out a gay relation-ship just to prove that you really don't need men.Peggy, another NOW leader in ILR '73, concurs: "Idon't accept the theory that the only way to be afeminist is to be a lesbian."

Peggy draws the analogy between the black separa-tists, who have mostly proven that separatism doesn'twork, and the women who try to ignore men complete-ly. As one of the chief coordinators of NOW on cam-pus, she includes men on the mailing list. "It's impor-tant to have men in on everything. It's their liberationtoo. It's got to be." Rap groups confined to women arecertainly important, but the stronger she grows in her-self, through the movement, Peggy believes, the moreshe can see men for what they are—not all-powerfuloppressors but victims of the same kind of social roleexpectations as women.

Perhaps one reason some women see a connectionbetween women's lib and lesbianism results from a sortof backlash against the earlier identification of wom-en's liberation with sexual liberation (an idea pushed,for obvious reasons, by men). A liberated chick be-came the latter-day masculine ideal: "She'll give ifshe's liberated." "Sure I like liberated women. Theyjust tell me where they want liberation, and I give it to'em, every time." The idea that being "liberated"necessarily implied that hopping into bed was yourgreatest joy merely perpetuated male domination in amore intimate and emotionally charged context.

Anger and bitterness characterize attacks againstmen who use the liberation of women as an excuse forignoring women's pleasure and for removing any emo-


tional commitment from sex. Some of these womenturned to lesbianism just to escape the male flesh mar-ket in "liberated" bodies.

Sexual liberation, in fact, was probably a spark formuch thinking about both the women's movement andthe gay movement. The increasing frequency of pre-marital sex on campus precipitated many conflicts thathad not earlier arisen. A significant portion of thewomen's liberationist literature focuses on female or-gasm, and women's dissatisfaction with men as loversand in other roles.

In some cases these feelings found expression insongs like this one "to be sung by self-respecting wom-en":

We don't need the men. We don't need the men,We don't need to have them round, except for now

and then.They can come to see us when we need to move the

piano.Otherwise they can stay at home and read about the

White Sox.We don't care about the men, we can do without

them,They'll look cute in a bathing suit on a billboard in

Manhattan.

The sarcastic anger behind this song is pretty aliento most people far above Cayuga's waters. But aswomen were expected to be freer with their sexualfavors, they slowly began to think that they should begetting more out of it than a steady boyfriend.

Other students have continued their more traditionalsocial role-playing, despite liberationist, countercul-tural, and anti-establishment ideologies which multiplyyearly. Here we see the undiscovered princess waitingfor Prince Charming to enter her tower and take heraway to where they will live happily ever after. (She'snot actually doing anything to find him, of course, forafter all Prince Charming is supposed to find her.) AndMargie, Arts '73, who's now engaged, refuses to makedefinite career plans. "I'll have to follow my husbandand find work where he does," she says.

Social butterflies, another variation of an old-fash-ioned phenomenon, also persist, but many of the highschool dream girls have shed their gowns and make-upfor jeans, workshirts, and a style of speech that incor-porates "freedom," "liberation," "honesty," and "open-ness" in at least every other sentence. Maybe socialgames are a human inevitability. Liberation is the newone. You don't get your man by being beautiful any

more. You get him by being free, not tying him down;finding joy in sex (any time, any place); talking abouthonesty and openness, all the time subconsciouslyknowing that there are certain things you can't talkabout (like wanting a little security and peace of mind,knowing that if you get pregnant, at least he'll pay halfof the abortion bill).

So who escapes hypocrisy? Perhaps we're all in ittogether. Peggy says she gets strength from the wom-en's movement to go out and fight the stereotype thatthe "real world" pins on women. If the Movement cangive Cornell women strength to make their own deci-sions—in favor of child-rearing in marriage, cohabita-tion, gay-ness, careers, or whatever—that will be anadmirable achievement. We must refuse to be someoneelse's fantasy ideal and become ourselves; we must findthe strength to make peace with ourselves and thepeople we love as fully functioning human beings.


An AlumnaeBy Elise Hancock

SOME MONTHS ago, the ALUMNI NEWS pub-

lished a request for Cornell women towrite us about their feelings on being awoman and on the Woman's Liberation

Movement. And we have since solicited opinions fromCornell women of all ages, housewives and workingwomen, married, never married, and formerly married.

There is only one imaginable response that does notappear in the results: no woman wrote, "I don't haveany opinion because it doesn't have anything to do withme." For better or for worse, the Movement appears tohave touched all women.

One major response is an impassioned affirmation ofthe status quo: "Please do not omit the traditionalwoman by default," writes one Human Ecology gradu-ate. "I'm afraid the silent majority will not be heard.. . . I think I represent a great many women in regardto the following desires:

"I want to be legally married and known as the wifeof a certain man. I want to be the helpmate to the manof our family. I want my husband to be the head of thefamily. . . . I want my husband to be the breadwinneras the normal living arrangement and I am willing tolive on what he earns.

"I want to be at home and take care of the things awoman normally does in the home. I want to bring upour children together, teach them to get along withtheir fellow man, see them grow and change, enjoytheir happy moments with them, enjoy their innocentlydear moments with my husband, help them throughtheir hard moments, try to impart high aims and goodmotives. I want our children to be a credit to us both."

"I want to play a 'feminine role' and have my hus-band play a 'masculine role.' I want my husband togive something of himself to the world by using hisintelligence, gradually acquired wisdom, and honestefforts. I want to be known as his wife if he gainsrecognition.

"I want to enjoy and love my husband for a lifetimeand I hope he wants the same of me.

"Please do not omit the traditional woman by de-fault. There are many of us."

This letter was the only "traditional" response, in-cluded here because a glance around any suburb willsupport this woman's contention of her numbers. Cer-tainly very few Cornell women are willing to identifythemselves with "those loud and aggressive ladies" ofthe Movement. Bra-burning was criticized in severalletters; obscentities at the National Democratic Con-vention were mentioned, women express concern for

the children of liberated women. The Woman's Liber-ation Movement clearly has an unattractive image,among women as among men, of unloving stridency.

But despite this perception of the Movement per se,most Cornell women express at least qualified supportof its goals. "Women's Lib is not my dish, though Isympathize with many 'Lib' aims." The NEWS receiveda number of thoughtful letters from women who haveclearly been weighting the ideas of the Movementagainst the facts of their own lives.

The most feminist Cornell women are single headsof household (and one out of ten American householdsis headed by a woman). "I have become, to use thecliche, quite liberated over the past four years, primari-ly due to the death of my husband. This left me, at 26,alone, 1,000 miles from my family with a 3-year-oldchild to raise. I mention this situation simply becausemany women who are happily married deny the goalsof the Women's Lib movement simply because theseladies have not been forced to fend for themselves.Nothing brings the truth home sooner than the simplenecessity to survive, and preferably on your ownterms."

This Cornell woman, and others like her, horse theirown garbage and groceries, pay their own bills, tend totheir own cars. Single women commonly have troublegetting credit; they get lower pay for equal work.They resent social conventions which shut them outmore than the single man, sexual approaches frommarried grandfathers, and a general assumption that itdoesn't really matter since you will, of course, remarry.

"Unfortunately," the Cornell widow continues, "it isthe principle of the thing. . . . I do wear a bra, thinkmarriage has a place in America, value my education,avoid the fanaticism of anyone from Bobby Seale toKate Millett. But when am I going to be viewed by theworld as a first class human being. When is my bossgoing to stop apologizing for my position by saying,'But after all, you're not* the breadwinner.' (Then whothe hell is?) And when am I going to be able tosurvive, socially, intellectually, and professionally, as aperson first!"

Never-married career women are the least feministof Cornell women. They tend to deny the job discrimi-nation which most women will matter-of-factly agreeexists (although not all will agree that it matters). "Inmy career," writes one woman, "only once has a manwon a post that I applied for."

Another Cornell woman, a successful executive, de-nies discrimination but adds, "please remember that


men get turned down before interviews for lots ofarbitrary and sometimes irrelevant reasons also."(Note the "also.") After a description of the traumasof her work, the long hours, the heavy responsibilities,she concludes, "In summary, I am just trying to saythat I don't think many women realize how difficult itis for men to compete in the modern business world.Nearly every point I have mentioned is equally applic-able to men and women. Whoever is doing this workwill be forfeiting some pleasures. I like my work andI enjoy seeing whether or not I will survive the nextdisaster. However, there are times when I wish I couldspend more time learning how to arrange flowers, cooka gourmet dinner, or read House Beautiful. However,right now, I'd better get back to work."

What do married housewives think?"I love being a woman," writes one, "and think we

have the best of all possible worlds. Today we havegreater opportunities for total development, more waysto be individual and creative, and far more freedom toexpress our real feelings than do men."

But, "There is a minus side to being a woman—what else? . . . During my high school and collegeyears, sports, along with other worthwhile studies andactivities, were considered unfeminine. I just neverknew what I was missing until I started really playingtennis about five years ago . . .

"Another problem for a woman who has been athome for years raising her children is that her educa-tion and job experience become completely outdated.If she needs to go back to work in a hurry, she is not ina good competitive position." This woman, her childrenwell along in school, think she would "enjoy the chal-lenge and money of a half-time job." Another happywife and mother says, "The most obvious drawback tobeing a woman is the difficulty of being an individual. Ifind myself spending most of each day being some-body's wife, somebody's mother, somebody's daughter,somebody's committee chairman, ad infinitum—withnever any time to be me!"

This woman loves her children and pities women"who leave their little children to go out and work."She cannot think of anyone—male or female—that shewould rather be; but she would like to finish a thoughtwithout being interrupted. She values the social ameni-ties that go with being a conventional woman ("It isnice to have doors held open"); but she wonderswhether her contentment is not what is currently beingcalled a cop-out.

"Am I simply rationalizing the fact that women gen-

erally are second-class citizens and trying to make itinto an advantage? After all, it does provide a crutch,an answer to the 'what if I had. . . . ?' question thatplagues all of us at this age when we realize thatperhaps we'll not set the world on fire quite as weanticipated during the idealism of our teens and twen-ties. . . . There was, and is, a ceiling on expectations ofadvancement or salary, because 'after all, dear,' youmight get married, have a baby, etc. as though thatwere really relevant. So perhaps I am simply taking theeasy way out to say 'all right, enough, I'll stay home.' "This woman enjoyed working before her marriage, andshe asks whether the mental edge comes back. Onetends to think she will return to work when her chil-dren are a little older.

The Class Notes section of the NEWS gives evidencethat Cornell women have been thinking along theselines. The women of the '50s classes, in particular, arereturning to complete their professional training orlaunching careers in numbers one did not see five yearsago. And those women who choose to remain in con-ventional wifely+motherly roles seem more deliberateand positive about it. Only eighteen months ago, theNotes used to be full of statements in which a womanwould refer to herself as "only a housewife." (Whyonly?) Or a woman would report she "keeps busy"working for Meals on Wheels or the League of WomanVoters, both valuable services to the community. (Why"keep busy"? Because such work is done primarilyby women?)

But this language is disappearing from the Notes.Seldom now does one see a woman beginning a de-scription of her life by stating her husband's position. Itis no longer a compliment to tell a woman she thinkslike a man. The Movement, it would appear, hasbrought women a new awareness of their various op-tions. Whatever their choices, the reasons seem to bepositive and based on a new sense of the worth ofwomen. The Cornell woman who wrote, "I am not aslogical and realistic as a man would be" is becoming ananomaly.

Are there any broad conclusions to be drawn? Prob-ably not. Cornell women are, in the best sense of theword, an elite group, with capacities and opportunitieswhich do not typify those of most American women.

But these Cornell women can remind us, perhaps,that it is as false to make blanket statements about theopinions of women as it is about the opinions of men.Betty Friedan, Midge Decter, Billy Graham, and Nor-man Mailer, take note.

^A*. • ^^L- think about it, I find myself con-fused. Sometimes I think men are put upon, sometimeswomen, and most often both. Which probably goes toshow that consideration of the issues raised by thewomen's liberation movement takes place at a gutlevel and engages the mind less than we often care tothink. Knowing that, you will be able to make somejudgment of the following ideas, which do not evenpretend to be impersonal or consistent. Here is the wayit looks to one woman.

In the first place, I should say I am very sympathet-ic to the woman's movement. Yet the Cornell alumna(page 22) who feels that women do not realize howtough life is for men, and who patently assumes thathousewives have an easy life reading House Beautiful,rang a very loud chord in my head. Many times thispast summer, coming home from work with a ladenbriefcase, I have looked at the sun-tanned womendawdling home from the swimming pool and felt anintense resentment. "What the hell do they know? Allthey have to do is spend the money someone elsebrings home." Is that the way it looks to most men? Iimagine so.

Yet as a mother and a former housewife, I know lifeis not all that easy for those sun-tanned women. I havestayed up with sick children and tolerated the mono-tony and had the wonderful golden moments with thechildren and known how it is to be always on call, tohave no privacy that cannot be interrupted, to be theone who is expendible, whose time has no value."Mother will fix it." "Mary will bake the cookies forthe Brownies. But why didn't you ask me first?""We're having a party this Saturday. I already invitedthe office." "But I wanted to go somewhere this week-end, just the two of us, before the summer is over. Wenever get to talk anymore." But the party gets given,the cookies baked, the trip not taken, the book is readin snatches. Such is the life of the housewife.

She is the expediter, the manager of the householdand usefully so. But overlooked. "I work all day, so we

ought to spend the evenings as I wish. You can playbridge all day if you want." Yes, it looks easy. I haveoften thought men should stay home for a year. Howshould they know what it is like? They are told fromchildhood that women are happy to be of service. Andone is happy to be of service. But . . . where do I comein? When do I get my share? And it would be nice tobe thanked.

Then the part of me that works fifty-five hour weekssays, But that's childish. You don't get your way at theoffice either. True enough. But, at the office, I am atleast listened to as if my opinion mattered. And Ireceive increasing amounts of money for my valuableservices, a reminder every two weeks that my servicesare valuable, that I have worth. Anyone can put on abandage.

Is it possible to have both? Does the working wifeand mother have the best of both worlds? Probably, ifeveryone stays healthy, if she can find and keep gooddomestic help, and if she is blessed with a warm andsupportive husband who is not threatened by her ac-complishments or possible accomplishments. It helps ifthe man does not think it beneath him to dry a dish,and if he is grown up enough not to feel wounded andunloved if his wife occasionally has to work ratherthan listen to an account of his day.

As for the children, it is my private opinion that daycare centers are not a universal answer. They arebetter than nothing. But there arc many highstrungchildren—mine is one—who do not thrive under groupcare. They enjoy it very much, and come home tooadrenalized to sleep. But, until the present, it has beenpossible to find an educated, loving, and unliberatedwoman who would care for my child in her home. AndI have thought it good for my daughter to see, close to,that other families do things otherwise and that lifecontinues. She has learned, early, that infinite varietyin human arrangements is possible. What better lessoncan you teach?

No, the children are not the problem. For the mostpart. It's the men. The older I get and the more men Iknow, the more I believe the women's liberationists arequite correct when they say ours is a sexist culture. Ithink of one Cornellian who used to insist that hiswife, who worked throughout his graduate career, wasnot supporting him, she was merely supporting herselfand their child. Male pride (false pride?) seems tofind that situation difficult. This couple is now di-vorced; many former grad wives are now divorced.

Or consider the Cornell man, a civilized and charm-


ing fellow, who helps his wife with the housework, whotold me that he doesn't mind a bit that his wife makesmore money than he. But he immediately proceeded tosay that it is true only because their mutual employergives raises on a rigid step procedure, and she beganworking a few months earlier than he did. Therefore itis only part of the year that she makes more, heconcluded earnestly.

Why does he care? Whether it is money, or power,or simple dominance, men do seem threatened byindependent women—especially financially indepen-dent women. But it isn't always money. Many mendon't seem to mind their wives working if the work is(a) boring and (b) done in the company of otherwomen. One man told me specifically that he thoughtmost men were afraid of the consequences if theirwives worked with attractive men. And many wivessuffer the same fears. How little faith we Americanshave in ourselves and our spouses.

Yet, as a single woman, I am frankly appalled atthe number of men who assume that their invitationsto dinner should be rewarded with my invitation intothe bedroom, and who are immensely hurt if that isnot the case. Men cannot seem to separate liking awoman from desiring a woman; therefore if you're notwilling to go to bed with them, then you must not likethem. (One must note in fairness, however, that thereare also many women who think a man can't possiblylike them unless he wants to take them to bed. Suchwomen have no sense of value apart from their physi-cal attractiveness.)

Men, too, seem to confuse their value with theirvirility which produces the machismo effect. There area number of men who make a proposition in a routinesort of spirit and appear relieved if they don't have tofollow through. Any adult knows whether the chemis-try is there or not; why do so many men feel they haveto come on strong when they don't feel like it?

And several Cornell men have told me that they donot like "aggressive" women. One said he likes hisfeminine friends witty and intelligent, but passive inbed. "It can be very exciting" when a woman is not,but he prefers to have "control." Another man told mehe is actually impotent with aggressive women, and Iwould judge that this distressing state of affairs is quitecommon. It's a burden men impose upon themselves,to be sure—though not entirely because they want to,perhaps—but it's also sad.

On the other hand, I will also admit that, despite myfeminist convictions, I am irritated when a man ex-

tends a tentative invitation to an uncertain event at anindefinite time. In theory, according to my convictions,I want to be consulted about everything. In practice, Iwant those details decided for me. I prefer strong-minded men every time; then I get angry with themwhen they carry dominant behavior into any importantarea. It is easier to get to know a person if neither ofyou is fussing with details. No wonder men are con-fused by women. (Or me.)

As to discrimination, I have experienced it, I willagree it exists, on the job. I once took a job, and washappy to take it, replacing a young man with nocollege degree and little experience, who had been firedfor incompetence. I had a Harvard master's and lots ofexperience, and I earned less than he had.

On the other hand, when I was a working wife someyears ago, I worked hard and conscientiously, between8:30 and 5. No doors swung open, professionally. Ijust had a job. Is this because I was a woman? Wouldyou expect a man with a master's degree to be esen-tially a typist, eight years ago? Probably not.

Now, I'm not sure what my working hours are.Everything I read and think and see seems to funnelinto my work. I dream about my work. "Can't youever talk about anything but your job?" says mydaughter. (She also says that when she grows up shewill work on a magazine.) And now the doors areswinging open. Have women been expecting equal re-sults for inequal effort. I suspect so. I was.

But I do not accept the premise that there is nodiscrimination. Any career woman who says she hasn'tfound it, in my opinion, was very lucky. She will havegotten her foot on the ladder in one of the rare acces-sible spots, as I did, and found she enjoyed it. Maybethat's why few career women are married. Maybe theirnon-marriage leaves them enough emotional energy tosucceed at their career.

I don't have a husband now, but I am still a mother.I suffer guilt, and conflicts: "Am I a good mother?"God knows I try. But I am not always there, nor is myattention always on my daughter when I am there. Ofcourse, she is growing up with a very desirable inde-pendence—except when she whines and clearly feelsneglected. The closest thing to mental peace that Ihave known on this score was when I had a job I didnot have to bring home with me, and so was undividedat home, and in a later period when I had "bought awife," i.e. had a housekeeper, i.e. had a truly substi-tute mother built into the household. A warm, gentle,loving young woman at home all the time was just


Women at Cornell

what I wanted for my daughter, just as conventionprescribes.

But not everyone earns enough to afford this. Be-sides, you try and find one, even if you can afford it."She was a good cook, as cooks go, and as cooks go,she went," as Saki said, and that was in Victoriandays, when more women were willing to be servants.My housekeeper decided she would rather work in thestockroom of a local department store: less mono-tonous, more chance to meet young men.

T is 5 o'clock on a Saturday afternoon as Iwrite. My daughter has company coming at5:30, five children expecting to be fed andtaken to "Mary Poppins." There are dishes in

the sink; we did not have a proper lunch; I am notdressed for company; neither is my daughter.

I doubt the liberation movement will succeed. I amliberated, willy-nilly, yet I have been unable to resolveambivalences about role conflict. The single womanwithout children has no such problem; as a singlewoman with a child, I can be either a good mother ora good employe, easily. Being both is a problem, and Iaccomplish it only because I am very lucky. I am paidlike a man and need not, in fact, make that impossiblechoice. How much harder it is to resolve this ambiva-lence in a two-parent home where the woman's work-ing would not normally be financially necessary.

This is not to say however that working is necessari-ly the only expression of liberation for a woman. It issimply the easiest. Real liberation is something inter-nal. An unliberated woman thinks of herself as Tom'swife, Dick's mother, and Jerry's employe (if sheworks). Tf those relationships were removed she can-not imagine who she would be. The liberated woman,although she may also have these relationships, doesnot define herself in those terms. She is her own wom-an. Therefore she is not compelled, for instance, toovermother her children in order to prove she exists.

The role of a job in a woman's life is two-fold;unless you have a truly menial job, a job well donegives a feeling of accomplishment that housework can-not, at least for most women (although home sewingor other forms of self-expression can fill this part of thebill. But any man who thinks housework itself is sofulfilling should ask himself how much he voluntarilydoes of it.) Secondly, the sheer ability to work at somereasonable level, the knowledge that you are market-able, gives a sense of freedom attainable in no otherway. Even if the woman then chooses to stay home,she is doing it because she wants to, not out of aninarticulate sense that she has no choice. It becomesthe difference between taking a long hike withbackpack because you enjoy the out of doors, or takinga long hike with backpack because over the mountainlies survival.

That sense of freedom is essential. People living

lives of no-choice—which is a group including morewomen than men—are notoriously captious, irresponsi-ble, uncooperative, manipulative, and generally diffi-cult to live with. Men trapped in jobs bolting fenders onautomobiles are one obvious example. Lucille Ball isanother. And she seems less funny than she used to.

Well, that's one woman's view. You can see that Ithink liberation will improve the quality of life forwomen, make women pleasanter to live with for men,and relieve both sexes of many burdens of guilt andinsecurity. A man who can feel right that his wifeearns more than he, can choose a more interestingcareer if he likes. If we can like persons of the oppo-site sex without necessarily finding them sexy, we willall have more good friends. And who can't use moregood friends.

The advantages, to me at least, are obvious. So whydon't I think the movement will take? Because thechanges necessary are too traumatic. The evil we knowand take for granted, the evil we seldom articulate andoften deny, is fairly easy to live with compared withthe adjustments needed to liberate both sexes.

Women will have to give up being "protected" andsupported, freely and willingly as a right. Many menmay continue to support many women, but come theliberated millenium support will not be a "right." Howmany women are secure enough to give up somethingas tangible as support in return for something as intan-gible as a new sense of freedom and self-esteem? I amnot sure.

And how many men are willing to change theirconcept of masculinity, to shed their accustomed bur-dens in return for what may not look like a privelege—living with an equal. A man in that case would begiving up some domestic services and a portion of thejob market for—what? A truer companion, a betterhelpmate, a more songful mother for his children? It'stoo indefinite a promise to be appealing and the as-sumptions go too deep. (In a word, the sexist male hasno more faith in women than many women do inthemselves. A man does not "protect" other men; heonly protects children, mental defectives, and his wom-enfolk.) On the other hand, I remember a black friendof mine once told me he thought the woman's move-ment would succeed, that it was only a question ofgetting the bandwagon moving. "You should haveheard the blacks ten or fifteen years ago, 'What arethey talking about. I like my life just fine.' But noblack talks like that any more."


YesterdayBy Ellen Coit Brown '82

HAVE WRITTEN this sketch of my own unimpor-tant life because I happen to be one of thewomen who first entered college in this countryand, it seems, educational circles are curious

about such things. When I was a girl girls were, Ithink, much the same creatures that girls are now,except for the enormous change in the environmentalcircumstances that affects all people alike. But therewas much discussion—both public and domestic—about the proposed higher education of women; itwas a natural part of the emerging movement forwomen.

To begin with, would education "Injure theirchaunces?" A solemn question propounded by GoldwinSmith to President White in early days when thatventure was proposed at Cornell. This at Cornell wasspeedily answered as the men and women paired off inthe natural, inevitable manner at other colleges. Butwould highly educated women still remain homemak-ers for men? Would they want to bear children? Wouldthey want to be domestic? (I have three children,married, five grandchildren, four of them married, tengreat-grandchildren, all boys but one.) Would theylose their "charm?" it was questioned, gravely. Thisidea soon faded away in the light of events.

But a very important objection was that the delicateconstitution of women, given to her by divine intentionfor a special purpose, would not prove to be adaptedto bear the strenuous and absorbing labor carried onby men in college work. It was evident, they said, thatwomen's brains as well as their bodies were "differ-ent." Their health might be ruined as well as theirspirits distorted. . . .

Separation of the sexes through the (perilous) teenswas not really in the American tradition. There werefine schools for boys to prepare them for college and"finishing" schools and "Female Seminaries" for wom-en. But from the time when government took over theeducation of the people, boys and girls together wentto the public schools. . . . But "co-education" became alive issue when women took to starting colleges ontheir own hook, and wives and mothers began to de-mand that their daughters should have the same right

Ellen Coit Brown entered Cornell in 1'879, and earned theBS in 1882. In 1886 she was married to Orrin LeslieElliott '85, an instructor at the university. They movedto California in 1891 with David Starr Jordan '72 to helporganize Stanford University. Jordan became presidentand Elliott registrar. Ellen Brown Elliot died in 1957.

to education as their sons. Holyoke, Elmira, Vassarcolleges for women were started. I believe it was oneof the Western state universities that first admittedwomen, and it was inevitable that the other great stateuniversities as they developed should include women.Cornell was early among private colleges to try outco-education.

I have been asked to "reminisce" about Cornell as Isaw it in the eighties, and particularly to tell about thewomen of my time. The situation as I have tried tosuggest it here bears directly on what sort of womenwent to Cornell and what position they occupied there.We were indeed often called "co-eds" yet it was inhalf-jocular fashion at Cornell—thrown off in easyconversation, and we would have had to have beenmuch more touchy than we were to mind it. Thesneering term "bluestocking" could be heard elsewhereI am sure, but not at Cornell.

Nevertheless there was a general understanding thatthe men did not want us there. This seemed a harmlessenough peculiarity and we readily observed the de-corum their attitude called for; men and women didnot, by code, recognize their acquaintances of the op-posite sex when passing on the campus walks; wenever talked to the men in the halls or the classroomswhen coming and going, nor walked anywhere withthem—on the campus. In the large lecture halls andthe small classrooms, filled mostly with our brothersand cousins and future husbands, we walked demure-ly, as inconspicuously as we could manage, and tookseats, always at the very front. And afterward weslipped away and, if possible, vanished. But on thecampus, we were not insulted—only tolerated and ig-nored.

From my knowledge of their behavior off campus Ihave come to believe this was a masculine pose carriedout among themselves (though it bore obliquely uponus) to preserve their self-respect and eminence. Onlyonce in my time did it take an obnoxious turn. Aroistering group of them one night turned on the firehose through the window of our only retreat, our retir-ing room in Morrill Hall. We found the place the nextmorning sodden from floor to ceiling and very dread-ful. I suppose we were infuriated; I seem to rememberan indignant and perhaps vociferous bunch of usstanding around the building. But I cannot rememberthat we ever achieved redress from the men, even ifwe tried (problematical) and the university cleaned upthe mess.

There was a sort of social life between the men and


Women at Cornell

women sponsored, more or less, I suppose, by theauthorities. Once in a while there was a reception heldat Sage Hall and I believe there was sometimes danc-ing there. I do not suppose they were largely attended—Presbyterians in those days did not dance and someother denominations didn't either. Episcopalians did,and there were some students who did not go to churchand came of "dancing people." I, living at home withmy parents, was not in that "set" and do not knowmuch about it. But it must be said that, men andwomen alike, we were at college for study and, gener-ally speaking, students were putting all their time andattention on the matter of getting out of college allthere was in it for their education. They were not therefor a variety of experience which included social activ-ities, athletics, amusement, etc.

Off the campus the relations between the men andthe women students became natural and easy immedi-ately, just as they had been in school and their homecommunities in the villages and towns of York State.There was only one dormitory, Sage College, and thatnot filled. Both men and women found lodgings wherethey could, or perhaps lived with their parents orrelatives in Ithaca homes. I do not recall the leastsupervision by the university concerning our behaviorand acts off the campus. There were probably rules forthe Sage College girls about absences and such mattersas when they should get in at night. We certainlyamused ourselves as we pleased.

And we were pleased with simple things—since wewere mostly countrified and unsophisticated. In smallcompanies of chums we explored the lovely regionaround Cornell, enjoying it immensely and storing itaway in our hearts. We had little picnics in the woodsquite near the campus, we traipsed through the glenstogether, scrambling where necessary. We organized(the boys did) hayrides that did not involve any hay,but only the hayrick, fitted along its sloping sides withboards for us to sit on. If it was winter, as it was apt tobe, the rick was fitted to runners and we sat mummiedup with wraps and covered with robes—delightfullyconvenient for private handholding. More often thanonce I went to Taughannock Falls with a "load" of myfriends. Well I remember George Burr ['81] standingbeside the bridge there in the early twilight, looking atthe evening star and breaking out with

Sad Hesper o'er the dying sunAnd ready thou to die with him—

and the rest of us standing around him, appreciating.Of course we took walks, a diversion now so long

extinct. A little gang of four or five of us might walkover to the cider mill in the late afternoon or Saturday.There were other objectives not too far away, or wemight just "take a walk" and come back again. Theseexercises were in small groups of men and women offthe campus together: notwithstanding the marriagesthat came out of our college companionship I cannotremember one instance of philandering or sweetheart-

ing among us. Those young people did not slip off intothe woods in couples; I think there must have been astudious avoidance of the couple idea. We were ontrial and we knew it, on trial before the world andbefore our own public, and discretion sat upon us, menand women alike. (Of course a warm handclasp undera buffalo robe on a cold night is nothing—we, I mustsay, were human.)

We had only one scandal while I was there, but itwas terrific. At a concert in town one evening a hand-some girl student was observed to have with her as anescort a young gentleman not immediately identifiable,rather small and slight in appearance. Before the eve-ning was over some snoop-minded person had realizedthat the escort was really a woman dressed up in aman's suit. Next day, the story was all over town. Theuniversity expelled the handsome girl, but not themouse-like companion who was her intimate—I sup-pose the university felt that this was too utterly utterand they must take note of it. When I came up to thecampus the next morning and joined a friend ahead ofme on the path, she told me, very soberly what hadhappened. She felt the tragedy, as we all did.

For several days the women of Cornell went aboutin a mood of chastened gloom, feeling andacknowledging disgrace. No one will ever know fromme the name of that handsome girl—and I supposeeverybody else is dead; but I want to add that later onshe beat on the closed doors of the university so persist-ently that they let her in again. She graduated success-fully and lived a long and exemplary life, thereafter,employing her brilliant talent in fruitful ways suitableto the virtuous, and to Cornell women. Her mouselikecompanion who wore the man's suit never appeared atcollege again but faded into anonymity.

It has sometimes been supposed that the first collegewomen were older, perhaps "feminists," probably self-assertive or else of superior quality which carried themforward boldly. It was not quite so at Cornell. Therewere some slightly older women, fine looking, quietand scholarly, who afterward became physicians. I didnot know them personally except as we might meet inour retiring room sometimes and exchange a word.They were respected and looked up to. I suppose thewomen were mostly about the same age that I was—the natural age in a girl's educational programme. AndI entered at 18 plus anci graduated at 21 plus.

I think, however, that . . . for women at a co-educational college—or at any college at all, indeed—there was that sense of being on trial, of the necessityfor circumspection, that gave the women there in mytime an aspect of dignity and withdrawn independencethat made them seem more mature than perhaps theywere.

. . . The diversions which I have described wereonly those in which I took part as one of a rathersmall group. Just how the women at Sage did in theiroff hours I cannot say—some of them were of this


group, for there was no artificial separation betweenus. But there was for me, always, that large unknownmass of men in sober clothing, always there but consti-tuting no part of my life and college experience.

I might know them by name from the reiterations ofthe daily class roll-call. Certain ones became individu-als because of college activities in which they becameprominent. But, aside from official functions. I do notremember any gatherings or organizations including usall. We were, therefore, not a society, not unified.

. . . The Comstocks were the only faculty people Iknew in the classroom, and I think this was the casewill all the girls. It may be that there was some frater-nizing between the faculty and the men students. Ihave, indeed, a vivid recollection of such an occasion.It was thus. A professor, Norwegian and distinctlyexotic, elected one day to invite his rather small Ger-man class to his home on the campus for an evening"seminar" as he called it. Ella Burr and I were in theclass—very likely the only female members. Ofcourse, everybody knew we were not included in theinvitation. I don't suppose the professor gave the mat-ter a moment's thought, for to ignore us went withoutsaying.

It did not make any difference to me, and I thoughtnothing of it. Not so George Burr, Ella's brother. Heperceived what we had not, that here was a perfectpoint for demonstration. We girls were members of theclass in good standing, and the class as a whole h$dbeen invited. Therefore, Ella and I had been invited,had a right to attend the seminar, and we should do so.The fact that we didn't care a cent about this seminarof the men's was quite ignored. In our situation,George argued, it was not only a right but a duty totake all of our new rights and utilize them, courageous-ly and publicly. Ella, a quiet, non-talkative girl, hated

the idea but did not say so. But I, who am tinder toany new idea, got fired with enthusiasm; it was superfi-cial, however, and did not last out the evening.

Ella and I went, escorted by her zealous brother.The butler, or something in pants, opened the door.Surprised to see Ella and me, he announced the profes-sor's wife was not receiving tonight. Never mind, wetold him, we had come to the seminar. In a state ofsome confusion the butler opened a door and let usinto a room filled with youths sitting around smoking.The professor was in the middle, reclining gracefullyon a deck chair, pipe in hand, obviously being inter-rupted. There was a moment of awkward, intensestillness, a sort of bated breath effect. Then the profes-sor sprang up with an appearance of horrified agita-tion; he addressed us—we were ourselves inwardlyhorrified—with an irregular speech to the effect thathis wife would be down immediately.

He must have handed us chairs automatically, forwe certainly sat down and were glad to. The professorwas completely upset: he seemed to scurry as he wentinto the hall and called up the stairs to his wife. Butthe lady never appeared, and Ella and I sat there,frozen immobile during the rest of the interminableevening. The "seminar" was only a long monologuewhich the professor delivered negligently betweenpuffs as he continued to loll in the deck chair. I recallnot a word of it except this phrase, which I havenever forgotten. "Nothing is so distressing as crudity."

I think I must finish up with this professor now, andsome other time speak of the fine and scholarly teach-ers under whom I worked at Cornell. He was, I think,our only exotic, and certainly the only member of theCornell faculty who would have been capable of insult-ing me, or any other woman student. . . .

Women and men alike hold traditional class pipes for the senior class picture in 1886.


Athletics Robert J. Kane '34

The Senate, Athletics, and the Future

T IME is history. Or put anoth-er way: Today is tomor-row's past. I have reason

these days to realize that time hasbrought about some changes, joltingones. Vicissitudes of fortune I'm usedto, but it's a change in people whichpainfully affects one's interiority.

I came into the administration ofathletics at Cornell in 1939 throughthe intercession of James Lynah '05,the athletic director, the kind of no-bleman every man ought to be, andthe kind of free spirit every Cornellathletic director could conceivably beif he were a retired millionaire, as hewas.

There were only two athletic build-ings on campus in those days, Schoell-kopf Hall and Bacon Cage. Throughgroundwork laid by Jim Lynah andaided and abetted by PresidentsEdmund Ezra Day and Deane W.Malott, and latterly by Dale R. Cor-son, and through the help of the trus-tees over the long span, and most par-ticularly John Collyer, Bob Treman,and Bob Purcell, a magnificent planthas been developed to enrich the land-scape and the lives of most of us.

Between athletics, physical educa-tion, intramurals, and faculty usethere are 5,000 users of these facilitiesevery day. Teagle Hall, the benefac-tion of Mr. and Mrs. Walter C. Tea-gle '00; Grumman Squash Courts, byLeroy P. Grumman '16; HelenNewman Hall, by Floyd R. Newman'12; Lynah Rink, by an alumnus whowishes to remain anonymous; aneighteen-hole golf course and the ad-joining Moakley House, gifts of sever-al Cornell alumni; Collyer Boathouse,by Mr. and Mrs. John L. Collyer '17;Paul Schoellkopf House, the gift of hiswidow and his son, Paul '41, and hisdaughter, Mrs. Rolf A. Trembley; anall-weather Poly-Turf surface forSchoellkopf field, by Joseph P. Routh'17; a synthetic track surface forSchoellkopf, the gift of Floyd R.Newman '12; a first bank of lights forthe Schoellkopf field area, by J. DanielTooker '39. Completion of the light-

ing, underwritten by Floyd Newmanand the Class of '39, is due in spring.

In addition, an endowment fund ofapproximately $900,000 has beencreated through alumni gifts over thepast eight years to ease the burden onthe central budget of the university.

Achievements to be proud of. Aplant to be proud of, and a programto be proud of . . . I thought.

In recognition of my part in thiseffort an influential political under-graduate, a big man in the UniversitySenate and a student member of theuniversity Board of Trustees, MasterRobert C. Platt '73, has referred to my"putting another one over on thealumni" and my "great style." A conman bilking his unsuspecting friends.

Criticism was severe of the installa-tion of the synthetic field forSchoellkopf as being extravagant. ThePoly-Turf field was actually madenecessary—if we were to stay in busi-ness—by the eventual preemption ofLower Alumni field for a biologicalsciences building complex, thus takingaway three fields from sports and re-creation. The all-weather, syntheticsurface and the accompanying lightshave more than made up for this lossbecause the field can be used all dayand all evening without harm. Thevarsity football team and the soccerand lacrosse teams practice there.They play their games there, as do thefreshman and 150-pound footballteams. It is not unusual to have threecontests on the Poly-Turf on a week-end: 150-pound or freshman football,soccer, and varsity football. And therewas a saving of $18,000 in mainte-nance upkeep costs last year.

The Senate, which has jurisdictionover the budget of the Department ofPhysical Education and Athletics, aswell as Housing and Dining, CampusStore, the Museum, Dean of StudentsOffice programs, Traffic Bureau, Uni-versity Bus Service, Reading andStudy Center, International StudentsOffice, and Mainline Drug Informa-tion Service, plays around with ourresources in an absurd and demeaning

way. In December it dealt with our1973-74 budget in this disdainful way:

The Campus Life Committeechopped $5,000 off the budget sub-mitted by its own Sub-Committee onPhysical Education and Athletics forno explained reason. The full Senatethen decided to transfer $5,000 frommen's physical education to women'sintercollegiate athletics, although thewomen's department had not askedfor it, and was embarrassed by it; andthen it took $5,500 away from men'sathletics to give to some as yet unde-cided other good cause which perhapsmay be the library or to the Dean ofStudents Office for counseling ser-vices. The idea was to take it awayfrom us. And then it deleted $6,000Students Office for counseling ser-vices to pay for the ever-increasingusage of Helen Newman and Teaglegymnasiums, as well as for greaterintramural participation.

These cuts are on top of the 15 percent cuts in physical education takenin the three years of university budg-etry cut-backs, which all departmentshave had to take; and on top of the20 per cent the athletics departmenthas taken, which is 5 per cent morethan any other department in the uni-versity. And know too that ours is thesmallest deficit in the Ivy League.

Our excellent staff has beenreferred to in the Cornell Daily Sun as"incompetent," and our program hasbeen ridiculed and laughed at on thefloor of the Senate: "Phys, cd. aroundhere is almost a joke!"

What we do in our department isgood and wholesome and how we doit is something to be proud of. I knowthe great majority of our students andalumni think so, but they're not rep-resented in sufficient numbers in theSenate. And that's where our destinylies, apparently.

There are good reasons, I am per-suaded, why a Senate should exist atCornell, but its role better become arational one or the Cornell we'veknown won't be the Cornell of to-morrow . . . in my opinion.

As you read this, here it is February andin exactly four months we will be havingour 60th Reunion in Ithaca. This undoubt-edly the most important get-together forour class, the last Reunion when we canhave a goodly number of Ί3ers attending.After that, attendance in the next few yearsdwindles fast and our Reunions becomemore and more an individual affair ratherthan an assembly of a class group. OurReunion this year will be handled by EV(Vic) Underwood, Reunion Chairman andFreddie Norton, Co-Chairman. That meansa couple of pros will be handling thisimportant event, as these two for years havehandled most of our Reunions. Vic's ad-dress is 203 Ithaca Road, Ithaca. You willbe hearing from him.

Meanwhile, make your plans now to bethere in June. You know, some changeshave occurrred in these class reunions, evenas some changes (Did I say "some"!) haveoccurred in us personally. The Reunions noware not all "Rah! Rah!, Remember when!"affairs. Now we find the movement of Con-tinuing Adult Education has spread tomany, in fact to most, Universities in thecountry. At ouir 60th Reunion there will beopportunities for general discussion on cur-rent events in Reunion Forums under theleadership of faculty members. A place togo for those who, if they so desire couldhear and discuss with others some of to-day's problems.

You may recall that in the Septembercolumn, when discussing today's delays inthe mail, I suggested we might revive thePony Express of the 1860's for quicker maildeliveries. This Pony Express business strucka responsive chord in Justus Rising in CapeCoral, Florida. Jud, as you may know,spends most of his spare time compiling agenealogy of Risings and their descendants.His father's oldest uncle migrated from NewYork to Kansas where his oldest son, DonClarence Rising, under the name of JohnnyGranada, rode the Pony Express and hashis name carved in the lobby of the Den-ver, Colorado. Postoffice, along with thoseof Buffalo Bill and eight other riders. In1972 Jud attended a family Reunion inMenomonee Falls, Wise, and came homewith a "sealing" ring of the family crest,with which he sealed his letter. His letter-head had the family crest at the top and thename "Rising" appeared in the watermarkin the letter sheet. As Jud says, "Prettysnazzy."

Now Jud, complete your recent travels bycoming to our 60th Reunion in June. Whoknows, you may find another Rising de-scendant in our group.

Thank you all for Bill Meyers' requestthat you send me some news. Bill himselfsent me a clipping from the New YorkTimes containing a picture of Harold Rei-gelmen, counsel for the Citizens BudgetCommission of New York City upon hisretirement. A luncheon honoring Haroldwas attended by 80 bankers, brokers, realestate men representing virtually all of NewYork's most prestigious and powerful insti-tutions. To quote from the Times, "TheCitizens Budget Commission is one of themost active and respected of the 'goodgovernment groups,' organizations that act-as a check on local government, either onbehalf of a special-interest group or in thename of the public. Their workings are littleknown outside governmental circles andtheir influence can be difficult to measure."

Tubby Goertz has moved to a smallerresidence, 58 Stewart PI, South Orange,NJ. Charley Hodges writes from Frederick,Maryland. Now has 9 grandchildren andone great. Morris Bishop just back fromItaly where he reconnoitered for a book onSt. Francis.

Sorry, Harry Drescher, that I missed thenews column, but I had no news. Harryspent last May and June visiting England,Holland, France, Germany and Switzerland.He will attend Roger Brown's winterluncheon at the PGA National Golf Club,Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, Tuesday, Feb-ruary 20, 1973.

We quote from a letter dated November22 from the ALUMNI NEWS: "The AlumniAssociation Board of Directors would liketo ask the Class Correspondents to put inyour columns a note to the effect that theadministration would like to get alumnireactions and opinions to the Cranch re-port. The NEWS reports in the Decemberissue how alumni can get copies and whereto send reactions (page 61)."

"Cornellians and A Garden," in theNovember issue of the ALUMNI NEWS, er-roneously referred to our distinguishedclassmate as the "late A Lester Marks." Buta message from our emissary in Decemberindicated Lester is still active but not up tohis par. Jack Moir '16 sees him frequently.We're all hoping he'll to able to join us atIthaca in June. The NEWS also omittedreference in our column to our '16 friend ofmany years, the late Col. Herb Snyder. ButJohn Marcham's lead article about hismany sided career paid the proper tribute tothis great Cornellian.

Curtailment of January column throughthe change in assistant editors, as Ms.Schlesinger replaced Mrs. Elise Hancock,wrecked coverage of the records of Fifteen-ers present at our November 14th ClassLuncheon. The party's over but the memory

lingers on. The phone calls and graciousnotes of regret from many, including JerrySloyan of Trenton, NJ (who couldn't find aparking space in time to catch the trainup); George Spamer of Centerport, LI (whois now organizing for a four month's roundthe world tour, with stop-overs to permitin-depth briefing on today's tourist offer-ings), Tommy Bryant, stuck at his KenozaLake home; Herb Adair, who had a fallwhich made him "rather bent," LeonardOchtman, whose wife suffered a slight heartattack which kept him home in a caretakerrole. All contributed to the feeling thatthese gatherings are well worth the effortand cost to all concerned. The full count ofthose who "made it" and called it "good"included Judge Sam Leibowitz who phonednext day; Lew Perry, who was in the middleof the Judge's warm discussions of law andorder, on campus and off; Le Clair "Smit-ty" Smith, down from Plattsburgh for theparty; Songbird Bill Pickslay; F VernonFoster, Old Timer in Wall Street; lawyer-councillor Bob Hendrickson of Great Neck;Roy Underwood of Summit; Genial Treas-urer Dick Reynolds; Abraham Kaufman,looking as fit as an athlete; enthusiasticArmand Tibbits of Heritage Village, Conn.;Bob Mochrie and former class treasurer andretired banker, M Raymond Riley of SpringLake, NJ: Jack Smaltz of New York; Char-lie Heidt, book publisher and retired broker;and your Correspondent, Art Peters.

Roy Underwood and Bob Mochrie dis-cussed the merits of Funchal, Madeira as awinter retirement spot, with the writer. Mo-chrie now enjoys an apartment there andagreed that Reid's Hotel is one of the fewgreat resorts in the old grand manner left inEurope. The place enjoys climate, serviceand prices to please all who know the worldof travel. Herb Adair was a pleased visitoras several Cornellians of prominence havebeen. We still hope a 1915 group will makea post 1975 (60th) Reunion objective.Meanwhile, Ray Riley advises he will returnDecember 27th to his beloved CarnageHouse, 250 South A1A, Deerfield Beach,Fla. He will stay until April 15th. ArtWilson writes he has been very busy withthe arrangements focr the Cornell Glee Clubappearance in Fort Myers Beach and inNaples, and with Southwest Florida CornellClub January meetings. He is also hostingfrom Ithaca Frank Clifford of the CornellAlumni Association and others. We hadhoped* to see them all and the Rocky Fordsof Naples, while the fun was running high.Claude couldn't come east then, but plansto spend June to September 15th at hislovely old vacation spot in Harwichport,Cape Cod, Mass. Will be buzzing several15ers en route, including D Abel, who wasnot "quite up to a New York visit." All thisafter Reunion in June (off season for Ί5) atIthaca.

We've been charmed by John Chew'scharming note from Washington, explainingthat he and his lovely wife returned back toBuck Hills Falls, in the Pocoήos, to cel-ebrate their anniversary where they weremarried 50 years ago! Hearties congratula-tions to this addition to the Golden Wed-ding Club of 1915! PS Had a great dinner

Ί855th REUNION

JUNE 610,1973

MEN: Joseph Lor in, 84-54 Aveon St, Ja-maica, NY 11432

18—50+5—73. No, these numbers arenot a signal for a quarterback's touchdownplay. They mean that your class, Cornell1918, is planning a "50+5" reunion June6-10th 1973.

Some classes quit at 50. But not '18. Ifyou haven't already received the first an-nouncement, you'll get it soon. Start think-ing about it positively and you'll yearn to beon the hill June 6-10.

You'll get more details soon. But whywait? Grab a pen, a typewriter or a dictatingmachine! Write to Louis Freedman, 300Martine Ave., White Plains NY.

Writing about Lou reminds your corre-spondent that while kicking around detailsof the "50+5" reunion the name JackKnight came up. "Hey do you fellows readJohn Knight's column in the Detroit FreePress?" asked Lou. Indeed we do. Brilliant!Provocative! Inspiring, yet down to earth!The explosion of accolades was halted soonby Paul Miller with "Come on fellows. Backto work on the reunion."

It's not surprising that to Jack's manyhonors were added in 1972: Gold Medal ofAchievement by the Poor Richard Club andAward for Journalistic Merit for 1972 by theWilliam Allen White School of Journalism.

Row Wagner calls attention to a slighterror Stan made in a recent class column.He reported a new grandchild added to the

Wagner clan. Actually it was the fourthgreat grandchild. And Howard E Blair tunesin with the brief "I will be at the 55th."

Henry Collins has resumed his perennialwinter occupation of mounting bindings onskis. What's more, he's skiing with the GlenEllen Patrol. Henry is listed as the oldestmember of the National Ski Patrol System.

Harry Handwerger boasts of a new grand-son, Kenneth Alexander Walker. Mother:Blair H Walker. "A fine broth of a boy,"says Harry.

Mike Lathrop is a realtor in Westerly, RI.His territory includes Watch Hill andWeckpang, RI. and Stonington, Conn. SonFrancis Jr. has his own insurance agency inWesterley and son John C '49 is a physicianpracticing in Providence, RI. Mike boasts of4 "very active" grandchildren.

Paul Miller relates that he recently visitedwith Dr. Clarence Ackerknecht in Schenec-tady.

A letter from Chet Robbins, Flat Rock,NC advises that he is recovering nicely froma recent illness.

Doc Meyers of Jeffersonville, was upset bya "large calf." The critter sent the doctor tothe hospital.

Joe Lay reports two "nice Cornell Es-capade" trips during the past year. In thespring to Athens. And more recently toVienna and Budapest. Here's a good ideafor 1973, Joe. June 6-10 to Ithaca for the"50+5."

WOMEN: Irene M Gibson, 119 S Main St,Holley, NY 14470

Did everyone survive Christmas? I hopeso, for I'm hopeful of a good turnout inJune for our 55th Reunion. Make your plansnow and let Mildred Essick know (1716Lovell Terrace, Elmira 14905) that you ex-pect to attend. I personally plan to arrive onThursday and stay through Sunday morning.Let's have a wonderful get-together! Afterthis we'll join the "over-55" group that in-cludes any class earlier than ours. There willbe no regular reunions. Let's get thirty orforty women back, plus a lot of 1918 men!

Edith Rυlifson Dilts in her Christmas let-ter informs us that she has swapped her1967 car for a new one, thinking "I shouldget a new one while I could still learn todrive" one, as her daughter put it. "It didn'ttake long, however, to get used to it." Edithand a cousin drove this summer from NewJersey to Mumford, NY, and then to Welles-ley, Mass. "It was great to be there whengrandson Douglas, 16, arrived home from asix weeks' trip to Denmark." He had livedwith a Danish family there. Do join us inIthaca this June, Edith. Last fall KayMcMurry Benson had Dagmar and OliverWright to lunch, as well as their twoadopted youngsters. In a phone call I askedDagmar how she and her family were, andgot a bouncy reply, "Oh, just fine!" Nodoubt the two teenagers keep the homelively.

Mabel Spindler Garen and husbandJoseph flew to San Juan, P. R., in Octoberfor a visit with their son's family. Mabelconfides that she "loved our four years atcollege, the friends, both girls and men, andthe new knowledge and interests."

The Class of 1918 was fortunate, I think,in that we were a friendly group, acceptingeach other, not trying to change the worldovernight, but aiming to do our part incommunity affairs and, in some cases, na-tional ones. In spite of World War I, whichshortened the college months for manyyoung men, we enjoyed life at Cornell.

We failed to make a prediction about1973 in time, so we shall give you a longrange one instead. Iςrom our travels aroundNew York State in recent months we predictthat by 1980 Upstate New York will be builtup solid with cement roads, shopping mallsand consolidated schools. Farm lands andparks will disappear entirely but there willbe little islands in the cement such as Cor-nell University, the Montezuma Marshes andthe tops of the Catskills and Adirondacks.All of the malls will be built alike and all ofthe schools will be different.

Johnny Ross sent in an interesting notewhich said: "I was delighted to discover thatthe handsome gentlemen, who reminded meof a classmate, and who was escorting thebride to the altar, at St James Church inNew York last June, proved to be actuallyour own Obie O'Brien of Chicago with hisgorgeous grand-daughter." We received aluncheon card with a note from Samuel CGist of Pomona, Calif., which says: "Stillactive in running Gist's Furniture Store onPomona Mall. Son Dick with CaliforniaCouncil on Criminal Justice in Sacramento.Married daughters living in San Diego andVentura. These have furnished us with tengrand-children, half boys, half girls."

Frank G Royce retired at end of 1961from Provident National Bank of Philadel-phia. The Royces moved to Hilton HeadIsland, S.C., at that time. He was first man-ager, 1964-69, of branch of Bank ofBeaufort on Hilton Head Island. Since thenthey have moved to a quieter spot in theoutskirts of Savannah. His wife, Harriet,Michigan 1922, is director of a readingcenter in Savannah. Frank was one of thefirst to volunteer as an ambulance driverwith the French army in World War I andis a holder of the Croix de Guerre.

The George E Gillespies have moved fromGreensboro, N C , to Seagate of HighlandCondominium at Delray Beach, Fla. H AKinchley says he is keeping up with the TVbut currently has nothing exciting to relate.He is retired and lives in Odessa, Fla. TheEugene A Leinroths of Gladwyne, Pa., re-turned in early fall from their annual tripabroad. This year they spent a few weeks inSwitzerland and some time in London. Genesays they hope to continue traveling as longas they can wiggle. Parmly S Clapp, Jr spentsix months in Inglewood, Cal., with his son,and his grandson and granddaughter. Hereturned in early fall to his New Yorkapartment.

Donald D Barnes writes that he enjoysreading the ALUMNI NEWS, and especiallyabout the ones he knew at Cornell and inthe Theta XI Fraternity, which is "no more"at Cornell. Mrs. Barnes and Don are ingood health and are able to travel. They stillhave a summer home at Waupaca, Wis.,where they spend three or four months eachyear with their children and grandsons. Theyplanned to drive to California during thefall to visit their daughter and her family atVista. Malcolm F Orton and his wife, Alice,spent part of last February with their daugh-ter Barbara, '54 in Santa Monica, Cal. Fol-lowing that they spent several weeks inTuscon, Ariz. They both liked the Californiaand Arizona weather. "Mike" says his healthis not too good but he still expects to attendthe 55th in '74. The Ortons live in Loudon-ville.

The power of suggestion through Chevro-let advertising to "See the USA" had itseffect on Bill Schmidt of Fairmont, W.Vaand many others. Bill with wife and daugh-ter drove through NY State and the 1000islands, but didn't bother counting them. Billis now recovered from an operation had lastfall. Tommy Reese (Chas E) now in Ansel-ma, Cal. took a nostalgic trip back eastvisiting Williamsburg, Washington and be-loved NJ where Tommy formerly lived.Farmer Beck, that's Martin G of Freevillebisected the USA the other way by drivingstraight south to Florida and then along theGulf coast to Texas. Ray Ewing was sat-isfied to drive from Vista, Cal. to Portland,Ore to enjoy the fall color.

Al McVean of Rochester made more ex-tensive travel plans last fall by visiting Lon-don, Paris, Switzerland, Venice, Florence,Rome, Naples and Capri. Cort Donaldsonwho runs the Cornell Club in Sarasota,stretched their trip to about 30,000 miles byflying to Bangkok, Bali, Singapore, HongKong, Kyoto, Tokyo, then to Honolulu andthe big island Hawaii to see the MoanaKea, active volcano. (The sulphur smell willknock you cold!) Les Townsend was recentlyrecalled to St. Anthony's Hospital in St.Petersburg for replacement of a defectivepart. He now reports a definite improvementin roadability and performance. We aregrieved to learn that Beatrice Parry Mertz'22, wife of Gordon, passed away in Julyafter a long illness. Gordon lives at 805Wyncote House, Wyncote, Pa, still sells rail-road supplies. Jim Crone has arrived at thevenerable age of 80 and is now retired fromactive business, lives in Kenmore, outside ofBuffalo.

Herman Halperin has reached that enjoy-able stage of life where he can graciouslygive of his great engineering skill for hisretirement community of Menlo Park, Cal.An occasional fee for electrical consultingwork for power companies is acceptable!Dr. Myron G Fincher has announced histhird retirement which should make itofficial. After more than 50 years as aVeterinarian he spent four years as a Vet.Medical Officer and now from the Bureauof Vet. Med. of FDA, HEW at Rockville,Md. The Finchers live at 2000 S. Eaos St,Arlington, Va. Alden H Russell, Concord,Mass, another DVM celebrated his retire-ment after 49 years in practice by taking adelightful trip through England. Friends inFlorida of Roy Johnston, DVM will findhim enjoying the balmy breezes of PompanoBeach at 412 S. Cypress Rd, for the winter.

Another partly retired but keeping hishand in is Dr. Gordon MacKenzie of Mill-brook. He and his bride will be at theHillsboro Club in Pompano Beach throughMarch. Now that's only about 200 milesdown A1A from New Smyrna Beach (short-er and faster by 1-95) where Jeff and JudyKilborne are wintering. It's a cinch thosetwo old buddies will get together in Florida.

C Harold King, our retired Prof, of His-tory at U of Miami casts these pearls ofwisdom regarding retirement: "I have had ayear of experience of the rigors of retire-ment. I had heard stories of the great leisurebefore me. 'Taint so. Not that greater activi-ty that's what I have found, bores me. Itdoesn't. But we shouldn't spread tales ofgreat ease. Falsity impairs character, and atour age, we can't afford impairment of char-acter." Heavens, No!—But we'll bet he neverfails to bless the mornings he doesn't haveto make an 8 o'clock class on the campus!

Here it is, the year 1973. It's 53 yearssince we graduated from Cornell. That ishard to believe, but the calendar says it's so.The "News and Dues" returns have givenme some news of classmates from whomwe've heard too little, and this news I shallbe sharing with you over the next fewmonths. Class secretary Agda Swenson Os-born went to Russia this summer, and hadas her traveling companion a grandson, Da-vid Osborn. Agda writes that they visitedMoscow, Kiev and Leningrad. "Restorationand renovation are going on at a rapid rate.We found the Russian people friendly andcourteous. It was a great experience."

Eleanor George Kirkland (who lives inMoselle, Miss.) was another traveller. Withhusband, James Brackin Kirkland '18, shespent two and one-half months on a 10 thou-sand mile trip by motor, ship and train. Fromtheir Mississippi home they drove to north-western US, there took passage by shipthrough the Inland Passage to Skagway,Alaska. From Skagway they went by train toWhitehorse, in the Yukon Territory, return-ing by train and ship to Prince Rupert, B.C.,where they picked up their car and droveeast through the Canadian mountains andparks, all the way to the east coast, and sohome to Mississippi. They saw all theirchildren "from Alabama and Mississippi toNew Jersey," where they had a surprise visitfrom son Bill, now located in London buthome briefly on business. Eleanor writes: "Itwas good to get back again to peacefulMississippi, even though the weeds and spi-ders had 'taken over' during our long ab-sence. The countries, United States andCanada, are lovely and vast. There are won-derful mountains and people. It is a niceworld, even in these hectic days."

The winds of winter, bearing snow, de-scended prematurely on Oregon, leaving usstranded at the coast for several days. Res-cued by my son Rodger and his faithfulVolkswagen, I'm back in Portland, hopingthis will get to Ithaca in time despite theChristmas mail. Peg McCabe's card fromSwitzerland calls it a story book country,breath takingly beautiful. She had two beauti-ful days coming through the Dolomites andItalian Alps from Venice to Innsbruck, Aus-tria, thence to Lucerne. Also travelling aftera busy summer were Caroline Dawdy Baconand husband Walter, who spent 2 weeks onthe tropically lush Island of Tobago in theWest Indies where Robinson Crusoe sup-posedly washed ashore. Snorkeling was fun,and it was also a haven for bird watchers.The food and service were excellent. Thepleasant, clean Island people don't wanttheir paradise ruined by American specula-tors. Amen to that, say we.

This is our seventh year in the ClassSubscription for the ALUMNI NEWS. We wereone of the pioneer classes to join theNEWSand to increase our dues to $10.00. It is,indeed, unfortunate, that we must report adecline in dues payers.

The ALUMNI NEWS policy is, that for everydues payer, we are required td carry anadditional one-half subscription. Two duespayers, therefore, carry one additional sub-scription. Many of you have benefited fromthis policy and received the NEWS compli-ments of two classmates. This year we aregoing to rotate the complimentary subscrip-tions a bit. If you have not paid your duesby March 5, you will be dropped from thesubscription list after the April issue. Some-one else will then receive the remainder ofthe year's subscription. You will be re-instated upon payment of your dues. Yourclass officers hope you are enjoying theNEWS. We also hope it is worth your invest-ment of $10.00 per year to maintain currentcontact with the campus and with the class.Your continued support will provide fundsfor further class activities plus a reservefund for our reunion preparations come '76.

Let's make 1973 a come-back year. Comeback and join us. Please send your dues toMrs. Neal Stamp, 205 N. Sunset, Ithaca, NYand your news to her also. I need it for thecolumn.

Losing and winning at the tag end of theCornell football season seemed to be deter-mined by the size of the '44 turnout at eachgame. Your correspondent thought that hewould remember the names of those inIthaca for Dartmouth, so he made no rec-ord. Who else was there? Perhaps no class-mate. But things were different at Princeton!First, Maury Gellman. Not because he wasthe first to arrive in the parking lot of '44for the pregame festivities, but because weattended Cornell Alumni U together lastsummer, and your correspondent's deficientrecord system didn't include that note. So,the November column is hereby amended.But the February column continues with thenames of 22 other classmates who joinedMaury at Princeton: Art and Dotty Kesten,Bill Hesseltine, George Ward, Bill Falken-stein, Dick Schwartz, Herb Eskwitt, BobPlatoff, Ray Van Sweringen, Joe File, TomDent, Dick Sheresky, George Kosel, Ginny(Macarthur) Clagett, John Whittemore, Donbodholdt, Dan Morris, Bob Ready, PinkyJohnson, Barry Connolly, Norm Brandt, andyour correspondent. We also had supportfrom Stan Johnson '45, who helped us cel-ebrate the 25th Reunion. (Stan likes ourparties; besides, his reunion jacket is a copyof ours. One can't pass up the opportunityto wear an item of such sartorial splendor.)Dick Sheresky said that our 44 in Min-neapolis, Ed Marinaro, asked him to say"Hello" to all '44's; particularly those whomhe met at the '44 party in New York lastyear. In addition to being a bearer of greet-ings , Dick was also a bearer of a Trustee,Joe King '36. Joe came to Princeton fromRochester, and had difficulty arranging thereturn trip that evening after the game. ArtKesten introduced Joe to Dick and DickSchwartz, and he joined them on their tripto New York City.

Bill Gaffney writes to say that he enjoysthe NEWS, and sends a new address, 1899

Middle Rd, Rush. Ted Taussig is also aNEWS reader, but enjoys sailing even more.During the spring, summer, and fall thesailing is on the east coast. The wintervacations find Ted bare-boat chartering inthe Virgin Islands or the Grenadines. Ted'sdaughter graduated from the Arts College in1971; a third generation Cornellian, I be-lieve. Not so for the daughter and son ofHarold Thomas, 6217 Rockhurst Rd, Bethes-da, Md. Kathleen graduated from the Stan-ford Law School and Bob from Princetonlast spring. Bob planned to follow his sisterat the Stanford Law School. Ed Beckhornhas been named director of scientific servicesat Lehn and Fink, a division of SterlingDrug. Ed is a three-time Cornell graduate;the BS in 1947, the MS in 1948, and thePhD in 1950. All this was in addition to thepvt. at Ft. Bragg in 1943! George Kosel, thePrinceton game-goer, is assistant director ofresearch at Philip A Hunt Chemical Corp.His home address is 181 North Ave, ParkRidge, N.J. He has been doing research inthe electrophotographic field for 15 years.

Another '44 researcher, but this time hob-by-wise, was Bud Wiggin. The January,1971, issue of Yankee magazine featured hisarticle, "Where Does The Sun Shine First?"Bud tells you where to go, at what time ofthe year, if you really want to be the first onthe east coast to see the sun shine. That'squite a challenge, going to Cadillac Moun-tain, West Quoddy Hill, Mars Hill, or Mt.Katahdin. Your correspondent isn't quite upto it. However, he was up to trying to locatethe Blanton Wiggins paged by American Air-lines at O'Hare Field at 4:30 pm on Friday,November 11. Was that really our Bud Wig-gin? A survey of those at courtesy phonesuncovered no one in CUAA T-shirt andsweat socks, Bud's pre-WWΠ official garb.Sadly, your correspondent continued on toGreen Bay. Maybe next trip, Bud.

Alumni Notescorrespondents to this column have goneinto hibernation, because the mail and newshave been light. Reunion, once again, isJune 6-10. Come on up. See what majorstrides the University has made. If you havenot been to Ithaca in several years, you willbe amazed at the amount of new buildingson campus. The Cornell of 1953 has beenrebuilt and added to in the past 20 years. Itis pleasing to see where some of our moneyhas gone and how it has been spent. Evendowntown Ithaca has been affected. Largeareas have been demolished for urbanrenewal and new roads have appeared. Forinstance, the landmark Ithaca Hotel is gone.But seeing is believing. When you do cometo Reunion, you, if you desire, will behoused in new North Campus housing unitswhich are really attractive. "You" means notonly yourself but your whole family whichincludes your heirs and heiresses who arewelcome and for whom there will be re-union programs.

Between the demandsof the job, an active flying schedule, thefamily and a vigorous Domestic ActionsProgram, he still hasn't had the time tofinish his MG TD restoration. Plans for thefuture are still uncertain due to still having afew years to qualify for retirement, but theallure of the 230 acres of mountain land inColorado does appeal.

Daniel Suarez Solis' chech and communi-cation came on stationery from Brazil thatwas most attractive. The entire sheet was ascenario of a beautiful waterfall. Friendsmay write him at Caixa Postal 185, Jacarei,SP. Plain paper, but more news came fromRichard C Grove who is now manager of

business planning for Amstar (formerlyknown as American Sugar) in New York.This comes after five years as a managementconsultant with Touche Ross in Detroit. Stillin Detroit is Robert Winans who hasfinished his PhD and is an ass't. prof, atWayne State. Wallace Venable writes thatthe new dues program is the first good newssince '62. He promised to pay more often ifwe hold the dues down. Maybe the othergood news might be that you got yourdoctorate, Wally. This came after ten yearsof teaching engineering mechanics andstudying education. Wally's degree was thefirst awarded in a new program at the U ofWest Virginia. He says he now has to decidewhether to, "Search for riches in the smogfilled cities or continue to live in nominalpoverty on our 45 acre mountainside (es-tate)." That doesn't seem like a tough prob-lem. Robert Cutler, having made his choice,writes from Toronto as marketing managerfor Colgate-Palmolive, and mentions that heenjoys Toronto. In Bayside, Queens, Leon-ard S Lebow has opened his office foradolescent and adult psychiatry. Donald MSladkin is working on his masters at the Uof Washington between tours with the USIAin Thailand.

Cornell LegaciesOf the 4,729 new students who came to theuniversity at Ithaca for the 1972 spring andfall terms, 369 are known to be the children,grandchildren, or great-grandchildren ofalumni.

This is 7.8 per cent of all new students,somewhat below average for the past tenyears. The peak years were 1965 for num-ber of legacies admitted, 398, and 1966 forthe percentage of new students who hadCornell parentage, 10.2 per cent.

Three new students are fourth generationCornellians:

Egbert Bagg, great-grandson of the lateEgbert Bagg II Sp '70, grandson of the lateEgbert Bagg III '07, and son Egbert BaggIV '43;

Leigh E. Staley, great-granddaughter ofthe late Harry F. Button '06, granddaughterof the late Henry B. Button '21, and daugh-ter of Chester L. Staley '49 and Mrs. Staley,the former Marion Button '52; and

Albert S. Trefts Jr., great-grandson of thelate John C. Trefts '02 and the late Mrs.Trefts, the former Hazel Rea '04, grandsonof George M. Trefts '27 and Mrs. Trefts,the former Dorothy Sharpe '27, and son ofAlbert S. Trefts '52.

In the listings that follow, deceased alum-ni are designated by asterisks (*), and adagger (f) indicates a step-parent. Childrenare freshmen unless designated with classnumerals or otherwise.

When students enter the university for thefirst time they are asked to name theirCornellian relatives, but always some fail tonote alumni parents or grandparents. Addi-tions or corrections to the listing of studentswho entered in 1972 are welcome for pub-lication and for university records.

We already have one such addition to thelisting for the present senior class. BruceLong Bobbitt '73 is the grandson of the lateGuy E. Long '02 and the son of Mrs. JosephM. Bobbitt, the former Katherine Long '33.His name was not included in the listings inthe NEWS in 1970, '71, or '72.

Grandparents only

Forty-five new students noted alumni grand-parents, but not parents, last year, the larg-est such number in history. Combined withthose in the third- and fourth-generationlists, the number of new students with alum-ni grandparents totaled 102. The names ofthose listing only grandparents follow, withtheir grandfather's names and grandmother'smaiden names:

University

A Struggle Over the Senate

SOMETHING of a classic cam-pus confrontation was in themaking as classes were set to

resume late last month: a challengeto the continued existence of the Uni-versity Senate.

Spark for the confrontation wasstruck at a raucous meeting of theSenate in early December at whichseveral votes confirmed the body'swish to trim the budget of the De-partment of Physical Education andAthletics. The Senate has the job ofpassing on the $18.4 million budgetof the Division of Campus Life, ofwhich PE&A comprise about one-tenth. (Housing and dining accountfor a half.)

Leaders of the Senate had the yearbefore accused PE&A of attemptingto hide television income from thelast year of Ed Marinaro's stay onthe Hill, and of padding their phys.ed. budget. PE&A had let it beknown they thought the Senate wasout to ''get" athletics, of which theywere jealous, and phys. ed., whichthey felt student senators didn't liketo have to take, and were thereforetrying to abolish.

Because phys. ed. classes are a de-gree requirement, the decision toabolish them lies with the UniversityFaculty. PE&A think the Senate istrying to nibble them to deaththrough control of the budget.

A number of key senators thinkthe phys. ed. staff budget is fat, andto prove it they made a number ofcuts this year in phys. ed. and athlet-ics, deeper than the three-year, 15per cent cut being required of all ofCornell's non-academic departments.In justification, the senators say theuniversity's subsidy of athletics hasgrown excessively since 1965 (from$270,000 to $622,000 over one fiveyear period). PE&A defends theiroperation by pointing out they havethe smallest athletic subsidy in theIvy League.

By the time the argument camefull formed to the floor of the Sen-ate, it focused on several budget de-

cisions by the Campus Life Commit-tee of the Senate: To cut across theboard $5,500 from nineteen intercol-legiate men's sports and $10,500from men's phys. ed. for the comingacademic year, and to refuse a re-quest for $6,000 to cover increaseduse of campus recreational facilities,particularly Helen Newman and Tea-gle halls.

The Campus Life Committee pro-posed to use $5,000 of the moneysaved for women's intercollegiateathletics, $500 for co-ed intramurals,and give $10,500 back to the univer-sity general fund.

Senators arrived at their December5 meeting to find empty seats and theaisles occupied by athletes, manywearing their carnellian teamblazers. Attempts were made to rein-state the PE&A budget cuts. Speecheson both sides were pointed, at timesbitter and personal. Hooting and ap-plause accompanied the debate.

Several senators said they feltPE&A both refused to acknowledgethe right of the Senate to pass ontheir budget, and had failed to coop-erate in the budget process. Theysaid they resented a charge that theywere a "radical, elitist clique." (Seealso the column on page 30 by Rob-ert J. Kane '34, dean of physical edu-cation and athletics.) On the closestof several votes, PE&A lost 46-38.

Within three days, two studentswho were starting varsity athleteswrote the Sun to say they thoughtthe Senate was not representative ofthe campus and should be abolished.A petition was circulated, calling fora referendum on the February Sen-ate ballot to get a decision; suppor-ters said they had two thousand sign-ers before students left campus forthe mid-winter break between terms.

In the hiatus on campus that fol-lowed, no one could say with certain-ty whether there would be a referen-dum, but one appeared unlikely.Senate leaders were not thought like-ly to provide a mechanism for theabolition of the body for which they

had worked many hours in the pastyear. Nor was it certain the campusor the administration favored aboli-tion.

The Senate was created by refer-endum within three separate campusgroups, the 15,000-ρlus students, 1,-500 faculty members, and 4,500 em-ployes. No one would predict that amajority of all, or of each, wouldagree the Senate was all that bad aninstitution. For the most part, stu-dents have been apathetic to this, asto earlier campus governing bodies.They might just not vote. The facultyhad rankled at the noisiness of thethree-year-old Senate, and it had tak-en over some of their powers andinitiative, but a "no" vote was notcertain when the alternative might bea return to the governance-by-militance that marked the late 1960s.For their part the employes, grosslyunder-represented in numbers in theSenate, had nevertheless found avoice in campus politics and were notthought willing to relinquish theirnew-found power.

The Senate had not proved to bethe radical political body its earlydetractors expected. Its first experi-ment, the "citizenship recess" forthe 1968 national elections, fizzled. Avote that required the university tobuy lettuce picked by the unionheaded by Cesar Chavez was its mostpolitical and expensive move. Thelettuce vote earned the wrath of Up-state New York agricultural interestsand brought the State Legislatureinto Cornell affairs with a require-ment that future Senate electionsmuster a 40 per cent vote in orderfor the Senate to be entitled to electmembers to Cornell's Board of Trus-tees.

Since that first year, apathy hasbeen the Senate's greatest enemy.Major votes on the Campus Lifebudget and other key legislation havecome at the end of the fall termwhen students were studying forfinals. Getting and maintaining aquorum has been difficult, and each


year the university administrationhas had to mount a major effort toencourage students, and more particu-larly faculty, to fill the 130-plusseats in the Senate.

Empty seats more than any refer-endum are what may eventuallyweaken or kill the Senate. Thismonth will tell whether a fourthSenate will come into existence; an-nual elections are scheduled. Someadministrators say they are encour-aged by changing student attitudes.They note a steady increase in theparticipation by freshmen in recentSenate elections, and they see a newbreed of student-government typesreplacing the militants of the late1960s. Since its first year, the Senatehas not attracted the student or pro-fessor who is a political activist.

One group that has for the mostpart avoided the Senate has beenblack students. Their disinterestturned to hostility this year when aSenate committee looked into chargesof segregation in black housing andacademic programs.

The two student-athletes who areactive in opposing the Senate areDan Malone '75, star halfback on thefootball team, and Roger London'73, a forward on the soccer team.But all athletes were not in favor ofabolishing the body. A letter fromKane to alumni quoted the all-Eastlinebacker on the football team, BobLally '74, as saying he thought theSenate was unrepresentative but aspresident of the honorary societyRed Key, he planned to run for theSenate and urge others "more rep-resentative" of the campus at largeto do the same.

The Cornell Daily Sun endorsedthe idea of a referendum without fa-voring abolition.

For its part, the administration isknown to be strongly in favor of theSenate staying alive. President Cor-son endorsed it at term-end. Anotheradministrator explained why: "Alot's gotten done with it that neverwould have gotten done before, or

would have taken years."He said he felt the University Fac-

ulty and/or administrators mightnever have come to agreement on anacademic calendar such as Cornellnow has, or a unified judicial systemfor employes, students, and faculty,or a statement on the use of religioussymbols on campus, a traffic andparking plan, or a deferred tuitionplan such as has just emerged fromthe Senate as a recommendation tothe administration. He also felt theSenate had been able to get at someentrenched departments of the uni-versity where the administration it-self never had, and he cited housingand dining as one such area and byimplication included Physical Educa-tion and Athletics.

Some of the Senate's business hasmade it the butt of campus humor, aswhen it tried to legislate dogs offcampus or got into the business ofhow many points a star might havebefore it would be considered a reli-gious symbol and therefore inappro-priate (see next column). In others,the Senate took the initiative in seek-ing laughs when it titled Bill C-97-athe "Palate Protection Act" (settingup a University Dining Board "to in-sure that users of the dining facilitieshave a substantial voice in its opera-tion") and Bill C-100, "The Cornell-card Rip-off Reparation Act" (for thereturn of a portion of the $5 base feecharged to users of the Cornellcard").

Still other business the Senate getsinto is strictly a no-win situationfrom the start, as when it tries tocome up with plans that will pleasethe many tastes and varied habitsand hungers of student eaters, orwhen it tried last fall to improve theannual crush for hockey tickets, andfailed.

Considering how few legislativebodies of any sort achieve popularitywith their public, the Senate has sur-vived less poorly than most earlycritics expected. Its continuance isclearly convenient to the administra-tion, serving as it does to siphon off

Letters to the Cornell Chronicle:

DEAR DR. GUROWITZ: We applaudthe forthright steps to protect theCornell community from stars andother symbols of human superstitionand goodwill. However, as you mightguess, stars are one of our things,and we can no more do without themthan, say Ed Marinaro can do with-out a football.

Now we agree that five and sixpointed stars are quite intolerable,being associated as they are with theSoul, the Viet Cong, the TompkinsCounty Sheriff's Department, theAmerican Republic, the Dallas Cow-boys, and almost surely other repre-hensible concepts.

But most of our decorative starshave four points because that's whatthey look like through a big tele-scope; sometimes they have sevenpoints if the telescope is real bad ora friend just stepped on your glasses.We use them to represent the sky atnight; pretty, you know, and theyaren't meant to convert anyone.

So would you mind making justfive and six pointed stars a no-no,and quietly agreeing that any othernumber of points wasn't terriblynaughty after all? It might set agood example of tolerance, and, inany case, we sure don't want to bebusted for possession of a four point-ed star.

F. D. DRAKE '51Dept. of Astronomy

DEAR PROFESSOR DRAKE: I assumeyou are asking for an informal rul-ing on your use of stars.

Since you are not using a usualcampus display area, and since youruse of stars is not restricted to oneseason a year, I see no conflict withSenate legislation.

Just be careful what you singwhen you are doing your thing.

direct attacks on the persons in DayHall. The Senate has diverted ameasure of anger away from thetough new VP for business, SamuelLawrence, at a time when Day Hallwas effecting progressive annual cutsin all departmental budgets, includ-ing those that affect the services stu-dents receive.

And it moves ahead with peskydecisions of the sort that tangled theentire campus in angry debate onlyfive years ago. The mood of the cam-pus has changed; whether because ofthe Senate or not cannot be judged.

The Senate has proved too diffuseand unwieldy a body to get down toserious consideration of the far-reaching Cranch Report [JanuaryNEWS], and it is having trouble ab-sorbing the acrimonies that mark thePhysical Education and Athletics de-bate. Some observers think the PE&Aforces had the votes to win their bat-tle in December but lost because theyappeared to despise the Senate andits members, and to be bullying witha threat of alumni reaction if theSenate did not respond.

Neither side gained in the battle ofthe athletes versus campus govern-ment types. The Senate may havewon a battle that will cost it its long-run war for survival and status oncampus; only the flow of the comingmonth's debate will tell. —JM

On Campus and OffSchedule for the consideration byPresident Corson of the Cranch Re-port and ideas coming in from alum-ni, the faculty, and the UniversitySenate has been shifted in tworespects since last month: Responsesto the report are going to be receivedfor the first several weeks of thismonth, and the President plans tobreak his own recommendations forlong-range financial planning intotwo or more parts. The first will bematters that can be decided in timefor a decision by June 1973, and thatwill be used to develop the 1974-75university budget. Others aspects ofany long-range plan, ones requiringmore study or more discussion in thecommunity, will be put off into laterrecommendations.

The Cornell Fund reports a recordfirst six months, $l,942,000-plus incash and pledges received by the end

of 1972, from 16,348 donors, an in-crease of 61 per cent in money and351 in number of donors. Fund di-rector Robert Rassmussen '58 creditsthe jumps to "tremendous faith inCornell" as well as an early start byvolunteer solicitors and an improvedUS economy.

The TeamsThe fall athletic season ended sadlybut proudly on December 27 whenthe soccer team lost 0-1 to UCLA inthe semi-finals of the NCAA champi-onships in Miami. The winter season,even by mid-January, seemed yet tohave begun, so poorly was it going.

Coach Dan Wood thought his teamdid well for its first time in theNCAA tourney. The team had thebetter of the shots, but could notscore. In the finals, UCLA lost 4-2 toperennial champ St. Louis.

Ail-American listings were latereaching Ithaca this year, but Cornellhad placed the most players of anyteam on the all-Ivy squad, despite athird-place tie with Brown in stand-ings. Named were forwards VictorHuerta '73 and Chris Agoliati '73,halfback Kip Jordan '74, back BillMurray '74 and goalie Bruce Arena'73.

The team compiled a 13-4 record,most wins in a season for Cornell.Huerta led the scorers with 22 goalsand 3 assists, a record number ofgoals and points in a season for theteam. He now also holds the Cornellcareer goal and point records, with40 and 48 respectively. Agoliati wassecond in scoring, 10-11, and his as-sists set a season record and a careerrecord, with 15.

The hockey team had played onegood game in the last month, a stun-ning 5-2 defeat of No. 1 ranked Har-vard. But the match came between a1-10 loss to Clarkson and a stagger-ing 5-4 overtime win over second-division Colgate.

No one was sure what had goneout of the club. The descent began inthe 0-9 blanking by Boston U onDec. 13. In the Syracuse Tourna-ment, the Red held on for a 6-4 winover Loyola of Montreal, then wasblasted by Clarkson in the final.Back at home, Cornell beat Loyolaagain 13-5, went to Cambridge forthe big win over unbeaten Harvard,then came back to Hamilton for theovertime win against Colgate. Theirrecord stood at 7-2, with 2-0 of thatin the Ivy League and 4-2 in ECACplay.

Bob Murray '74, a wing, leads thescorers with 9 goals and 16 assists,followed by wing Doug Marrett '74,13-9, center Carlo Ugolini '73, 8-10,and wing Bill Hanson '73, 5-10.

If hockey was disappointing, bas-ketball was disastrous. Besides a five-game losing streak, the squad wasdown to seven men. Three regularswent on scholastic pro, and a fourthmember "just disappeared," in thewords of Coach Tony Coma. A fifthmember was dropped from the squadearlier, and a sixth was out with abroken wrist.

The team record stood at 3-10, 0-3in Ivy play, on intersession gamesthat included a first round win in theRazorback Invitational at LittleRock, 78-77 from Arkansas, amidstlosses to Missouri (St. Louis) 88-90,Memphis State 64-96, Ohio U 66-100,Brown 79-102, Yale 68-95, West Vir-ginia 69-102, and Columbia 59-68.

Squash and wrestling wereshowing improvement: The squashteam beat Yale for the first time inyears, 6-3, to boost its record to 2-1.Wrestling was 4-2, 2-0 in Ivymatches, based on recent wins overYale 23-14 and Seton Hall 36-9, andan 11-24 loss to Army.

Fencing moved to 4-1, 1-1 Ivy,with a win over Yale 16-11, swim-ming remained winless when it lost toYale 46-67, and the gymnasts kept ondoing well with wins over Dartmouth141.95-118.95 and Pittsburgh144.4-105.95. The gymnasts record isnow 4-1, and 2-1 in their first year inthe Eastern league.
