New women's studies coordinator sets goals
By BONNIE DUNHAM
Staff Reporter
The new coordinator of the KU women's studies program, Diane McDermott, said Monday that she has two goals for the program.
She said she wanted to see more people major in women's studies and planned to involve the KU professional schools in offering interdisciplinary courses on women. For example, a course offered jointly by the School of Education and the women's
studies program, she said, would be on women and education.
"I would like to see the number of majors in women's studies increase because I think the program has a great deal to offer," McDermott said. "With the degree, you can go on to other programs or you can find work.
"It seems to me that women's studies are crucial to have on a campus to help women."
sense, but in a social, political, and economic sense.
"In many schools there is a tremendous amount of resistance to women's studies. I study it."
THE FORMER coordinator of women's studies, Hirley Silkerton, will be on sabbatical.
The National Women's Studies Association convention was held at the University of Kansas last month. The association received a $100,000 Ford
However, McDermott, who is new to the women's studies department and has never held an administrative position, said, "There are always some problems any time you have a growing program because everyone is vying for office space and personnel. I am somewhat of a movie in the way I compete effectively for those things."

Lack of space slows police move
"THE OFFICES that moved are not involved in the daily routine of Lawrence," Mike Thomas, director of police and park services, told Kansas City campus problems too.

Mike Hill, KU police chief, said, "I was told that hard of the department would move to NYC."
The KU Police Department, which moved some of its offices to Carruth-O'ReaL Hall last March, is having trouble finding a location for the rest of the department.
The four offices that moved last March from Hoch Auditorium were the director of police, the office manager for police and the crime department and the crime prevention department.
The offices looking for space are the uniform division and the office of the cap

The police department was to have the second floor in the north wing. Instead, they
"THE MOVE WANST' not made until March because of an uncertainty of total allocation of space," Rodger Oroke, director of Facilities Operations, said.

She said she also believes it will be a long time before women's studies are fully integrated.
The total cost of the department's move was $722. Oroke said. The University spent $34,000 on his move.
The police employees who have moved to Carruth-O'Leary are more comfortable in the office.
she said. "Therefore, I do not think any blame-placing stance is helpful to women.
"We now have more room to work with and now room to interview people with," said Dr. Sullivan, a head coach in Hoch, we had four people in one office. Here, we have two people in one office."
DURING HER three-year appointment as coordinator for women's studies, McDermott will be relieved of her position as an adviser in the University Counseling Center but will continue to teach graduate courses in counseling.
As a counselor, McDermott said, she saw many women who think the battle for women's rights has been won. "We cannot explain complacent about what is going on," she said.
McDermott said she is a humanist first and foremost, but is also a feminist although she doesn't normally use the term to describe herself.
I **DEFINITELY BELIEVE** people are responsible for creating their own lives."
"There is not an equal balance of males and females teaches courses, and textbooks that we can corporate that kind of material. The book issues and concerns far more than women's. I think it will be a very long time before we need for women's studies." McDermott said.
