...admissions policy. But the College, which considers the Summer School as somewhat of a poor sister, is not so forward looking in its administration and approach to the issue of sexism. Harvard has recognized that equality between the sexes demands more than the present 2.5 to 1 male-female ratio. Change is in the air, and next year the Strauch Committee will examine a number of plans to bring more women into the College. But only one policy--one-to-one admissions--can begin to end sexual discrimination in the University...

Only one out of 54 tenured Faculty members this year is a woman. By 1976, after affirmative action has been applied, the ratio will only improve so that one out of 50 is a woman.

...facing a suit raising equal-pay questions, and a spokeswoman for the National Organization of Women says that other businesses likely to have the same problem are retail stores, banks, and textile and electronics manufacturers. If all that remedying does occur, it should begin to change the present ratio of pay scales. According to a recent Labor Department study of jobs, women who do work similar to men's earn 600 for every $1 earned by their male equals...
