PS Fall 1970 Published Quarterly by the American Political Science Association Volume III Number 4 PS Fall 1970 Published quarterly by the American Political Science Association Volume III Number 4 PS is a forum for the expression of the concerns of political science as a profession and as an academic discipline. Its basic aims are to encourage political scientists to participate more meaningfully in their common life and to stimulate debate about the place of the profession in contemporary society wtdtGITIGnt OT 11116111 Accordingly, PS invites critical analyses of the professional community and of the role of the political scientist as scholar, educator, citizen, social engineer, and consultant. It welcomes discussion of his relations to students, colleagues, deans, foundations, and governments. Moreover, its pages are hospitable to considerations of political science in other countries, to the teaching and learning of its subject matter, and to questions of professional ethics, PS will provide news of the activities of the American Political Science Association, the regional associations, and their members. It will publish official communications and committee reports. Seeking to contribute to the intelligent governance of the Association, it will present alternative views regarding the Association's policies and goals before as well as after official decisions have been made. Because PS tries to engage the general membership of the American Political Science Association, it will not be hostile to plain English. The content and style of submitted manuscripts should of course address this audience, whether their authors are writing speculative essays, reporting on empirical findings, or engaging in reasoned polemics.

    r1 J FALL 1975 Published quarterly by the American Political Science Association Volume VIII Number 4 f Women Political Scientists Supporting Sam Beer We the undersigned urge women political scientists to vote for Sam Beer for President-Elect of the American Political Science Association. Our knowl- edge of his attitudes and past activities convinces us that as President of the Association he will work effectively and aggressively to enlarge the opportunities for women in the profession and in the Association. Women in the profession should note that Professor Beer has committed himself to provide: (1) more effective grievance procedures in implementing Association policy, including censure of departments when called for; (2) tighter liaison with department chairpersons encouraging professional study by women, including substantial expansion of Fellowship programs, and encouraging professional employment of women, including more part-time opportunities; (3) closer coordination of the Council and the relevant committees of the Association.
