     points to the small nunber 
     
     of wanen who enter grad- ‘ 
     
     uate school. Asked why the 
     
     nmrbers of graduate students 
     
     are so small, Shaw shrugs. 
     
    

    
     " I don't really know why 
     
     it exists, it's the way of 
     
     the world,it's the way these 
     
     female students think." 
     
    

    
     Shaw may truly believe men 
     
     and wanen find equal opp- 
     
     ortunities at university, 
     
     but his reluctance to inves— 
     
     tigate the ststistics has 
     
    

    
     I prevented him fran making. 
     
     . educated statements about 
     
     the situation. 
     
    

    
     'Ihose statistics-- cold, 
     
     stark, lifeless-- tell a 
     
     startling tale. UBC has 
     
     more than 2,000 faculty 
     
     nembers. Only 12 per cent 
     
     are wanen. Wcmen make up 
     
     13 per cent of the faculty 
     
     at Simon Fraser University. 
     
    

    
     Only 6.7 per cent .of 
     
     women are faculty at the 
     
     University of Victoria. 
     
    

    
     Yet women make up a full 
     
     third of more transient 
     
     ' positions like lecturers. 
     
    
   
   
    
     . A 1980 statistics Canada 
     
     surmer employment survey 
     
     of returning students found 
     
     that fewer than their male 
     
     counterparts fomd jobs. ‘ 
     
     It should also cane as -no 
     
     surprise thatzsome students' 
     
     surmer earnings are, on the 
     
     average, lower than men's. 
     
    
   
   
    
     So in economic terms it is 
     
     difficult for women to 
     
     remain simply as under— 
     
    
   
   
    
     graduate students. When they 
     
    
   
   
    
     do reach the graduate level, 
     
     they are a minority in the 
     
     Canadian university system. 
     
     In 1978-79, according to 
     
     Statistics Canada, wan-2n in 
     
     graduate school made up only 
     
     34.5 per cent of the nation's 
     
     total enrollment;

     Legates, who also taught

     of the problem is university 
     
     administrators who do little
