ON GRADES
"I think we should continue to give out grades because people coming out of SFU will
have to compete with people coming out of other universities, and if we don't have grades

they won't be able to. I think that's important. We have to keep up the credibility of
SFU graduates.”

ON FEMINISM

"ZT don't think I can define being a feminist. It's just not accepting men as author-
ities anymore. I am not convinced that they have our best interests in mind."

"There are a lot of women on campus who still see men as the authority and wouldn't
want to have a woman senator representing them. I think it's alright to play down the
feminist angle, in order to get into power. That's what's important now."

When asked about her political leanings, Dana replied, "I'm left of centre.”

"T wouldn't want the whole Senate to be women, or all professors to be women. I would
not support someone who wasn't qualified just because she was a woman."

One of the things I would like to do is a Master's degree on the economic position of

women in society, but there is no department up here to handle that."

Some of the other things discussed at the meeting were:

Kate Braid suggested that we put Linda Latham on our mailing list and invite her to
our meetings. Latham is a Senateappointee, but not a feminist voice.

Kate also suggested that we support Maureen MacPherson, who is on the Student Council.
Kate will try to arrange to have Maureen at one of our regular meetings, so we can
meet her.

It was suggested that we find out as soon as possible what the platforms of the other
Senatorial candidates are. As far as we know, these people are John Toor, Bob Kissner,
Dana, and possibly Bill Birge.

Reva McMillan suggested that a special phoning be done during the election to make sure
that as many students as possible return their ballots, preferably in favour of Dana.

The meeting finished at about 6:00 pm. Next general meeting will be Thursday, March 28
in the UCB Seminar Room
