ordinate them.

"IF THE SENATE is going to fund something," Dillon said, "it should be something permanent. It right should be a true benefit."
He said the Sisters did not realize how long it would take to establish a temporary center. He said he rejected the Sisters' request because they could not answer the organization of the day care center.
Another demand of the February Sisters is the expansion of their reach. SenEk met with Student Health representatives and representatives of our health who are also February Sisters to discuss expanding the health program.
MARY MAHER, Lawrence senior, said the February Sisters had proposed a clinic for counseling women, distributing information on contraceptives andwerenewedwomen, distributing women health examinations.

SOME DOCTORS at Watkins Hospital would not prescribe contraceptives to women. Scott said. She said that sometimes women received a morality lecture and were sent to contraceptives and information.

with Watkins Hospital two and a half years ago for information on the outcome, she said, was the Human Sexuality Seminar, which focused on the results.
Sears, assistant to the dean of women, said, "It's too much. It's counseling which Watkins should be doing."
AS A RESULT of the meeting Friday, one doctor's office was being relocated and the space would be used for a women's clinic. Another nurse the clinic would open after the nurses had been trained to operate it.
Dr. Raymond Schweger, diet-
ician at Watkins, said he had been try-
ing to expand the services offered at
Watkins病房 but it was diffi-
cult to keep up with new needs.
He said Watkins Hospital could not afford to hire an obstetrician-ginecologist because the University could not pay $40,000 in medical expenses when doctors on the staff have often training in the area.
Mather said of the meeting Friday, "We felt that the SenEx was sympathetic to what we were asked to do at the hospital was funded by students, and if it should cost more, the students would have to vote on it."
Sears said, "Male orientation is the norm. That we need a department of women's studies is an indication of the sexism in our society and that we need to status of our women faculty. We already have the women here."
In a position paper issued Mon day by the February Sisters
committee on women's studies, the Sisters advocated an autonomous department of women's opportunities in various areas.
IN THE POSITION paper the group proposed a number of courses which could be offered in a department of women's studies.
