...campaign. When the deacons panicked and canceled services the Sunday before Election Day, Pastor Bruce Edwards told reporters that the eleven-year-old policy was "immoral and sinful" and that deacons routinely used the term niggers. At President-elect Carter's urging, the church later voted reluctantly to admit blacks.

Although the faculty and administration have rejected the principle of such a program, it has called for more women's experience at the undergraduate level. As yet, however, there are only a handful of opportunities for student's interested in academic feminism...
