  • 2 Thursday, October 7, 1971 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN \AA UW issues guidelines | Concert program for sexual equality to begin this fall The conservative American Association of University Women (AAUW) issued a set of 20 guidelines to accredited four-year colleges and universities in Washington on September 19, spelling out steps administrations should take to achieve full sex equality in all phases of university life. According to Dr. MabeUe McCullough, chairman of the AAUW Committee on Standards in Higher Education and Assistant Dean of Student Affairs at the University of Minnesota, the guidelines form an "affirmative policy and action regarding women in the student, faculty, administration and staff areas, The most controversial aspects of the suggested program include recommendations that quota systems in admissions be abolished, Women's Studies Programs be set up and health counseling, including birth control, pregnancy problems, and abortion referral be implemented, The report states that women should have total self-determination in social governance, including directing their own social regulations, McCullough stated that by accepting standards which take into full consideration the rights and needs of women, institutions can avoid confrontation with the Federal Office of Contract Compliance on the matter of sex discrimination. Over 250 colleges and universities, and all med ical schools, now have sex discrimination suits pending against them. The guidelines grew out of an AAUW sponsored survey of 454 campuses last Dec. which showed that while 90 percent of the responding campuses stated that their promotional policies were Identical for men and women, few women are In responsible positions in university communities and the number that are continues to decline. The women's proposals promise to become heavy ammunition for the many newly formed campus women's rights groups In attempting to reform university structures. Among the other proposals is a recommendation that campus nepotism rules be abolished, allowing qualified faculty wives (and in some instances husbands) to obtain teaching positions. Also listed are calls for curriculum innovations, permitting men and women to combine education with work and child-rearing responsibilities, for administering financial aid without consideration of the applicant's sex, for restricting campus job recruiting to companies that do not discriminate against women, for maternity leave without penalty and for the establishment of campus Commission on Women that would advise the uni= versity president on women's problems andneeds. The AAUW issued the guidelines in response to the slowness with which male dominated university administrations have reacted to the increasing awareness of sex discrimination. CSC announces plans for nationwide anti-war moratorium The Committee for Social Change announced plans today for local participation in the nationwide anti-war moratorium scheduled for Wednesday, October 13. Peace demonstrations and other non-violent activities are scheduled to take place in cit= ies and on college campuses throughout the nation in an attempt to revive the long dormant anti-war movement, CSC's President, Bob Austin, has requested that interested students, faculty, and members of the Cullowhee community come to an organizational meeting in the University Center's Cardinal Room on Thursday, October 7, at 7:00 p.m. The National Peace Action Coalition is overall coordinator of the October 13 Moratorium.
