tf am a fourth, year student in Sociology, pian to do
graduate work in that field and then study Law. I
participated recently in the preparation of the first
Working Paper on Matrimonial Property for the B.C.
Commission on Family and Children's Law. My academic work
has focused on the study of woman's economic and social
position in Canada and I am active in the Women's Movement.

My interest in serving as a student senator is
directly related to my concern with the status of women at
Sef.U. There is one woman on the Board of Governors and of
thirty-nine senators, only one iS a woman. Women need
increased representation and participation in governance of
the University. The Senate should be encouraged to:

(1) establish an interdisciplinary women's studies
program 5

(2) inerease the number of woman graduate students
(683 men - 129 women);

(4) increase financial aid for part—time students
to enable more women to attend S.F.U.;

(4) increase its sensitivity and responsiveness to
the needs and priorities of women students.

To this end, senate should be encouraged to take
alfirmative action to:

(1) increase the number of women on faculty (323 men -
41 women) and senior administrative positions; |

(2) to eliminate salary and rank differences based
on Sex.

Other high priorities should be:

(1) increased Canadian content in curriculum;
(2) more Canadian faculty;

(3) decentralization of power, and

(4) increased responsiveness of the University to
the needs of the community -
