ABSTRACT

At the beginning of 1970, Elizabeth Colson headed to Caltech as a visiting professor for the winter quarter to teach and gain experience with a time series software program using her Gwembe Tonga of Zambia data. Drafts of parts of the Policy CSAW report were materializing. Colson left Betty with a partial draft of the body of the report. Lucy Sells had a draft of part of the appendix. Betty circulated these to the subcommittee. Betty was an early proponent of having one faculty club on the Berkeley campus. Betty was emerging as a counselor to women experiencing campus issues. An example is a woman graduate student who was having difficulties being posted to a teaching assistant position because her husband had such a position in the same department. At the end of January, the chair of the UC-Berkeley zoology department sent the agenda for their next meeting in a confidential memorandum to his faculty.
