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.
