"It is implicit in point three as stands that child-raising is the job of the woman," MacEwan said. "It is terribly important to recognize the desirability of equalization of child care for men and women."
'Faculty Neanderthals'
Supporting this amendment, Anthony G. Oe?tinger. Gordon McKay Professor of Applied Mathematics, said, "In the desire to ingratiate themselves with the Neander??hals on the Faculty, the authors of those motions have put sexi?? implications into the legislative history."
"I don't feel we are ready to accept this as friendly," said Walzer. "It is a socially advanced proposal, and we don't want to tie a reform that can pass with one that can't."
The amendment lost, 162-72.
A similar proposal - to expand point three to include adoption of children - was put f??th by David G. Hughes, professor of Music. It was defeated 161-80. Point three later passed unanimously.
The only other amendment - proposed by Seymour Martin Lipset, professor of Government and Social Relations - added a condition to point two prohibiting part-time appointees from holding teaching or other jobs during the term of their appointment. It was defeated by voice vote.
Seconding point one, Emily D. Vermeule, Zomu?ray-Stone Radcliffe Professor, met with general approval when she read a quote in Greek. Translated, what it said was, "She is a virgin from the neck up - a woman below."
"It is only the qualities of women from the neck up that should concern us here," Vermcule said.
