BUDGET CUTS IN WOMEN'S STUDIES
The Women's Studies Program at the University
of Oklahoma has been ser iously damaged by the
state's financial crisis. For the 1982-3 academic year , the Program budget was cut by
exactly the 4% mandated by the University .
For the 1983-4 academic year, when Universitywide cuts were estimated at 9% and most maintenance and operations allocations in Arts
and Sciences (where the Program is housed)
were cut 16% or less, Women's Studies was cut
36% in wages , 100% for graduate assistantship ,
100% for the instructor who taught Introduction to Women's Studies, and 50% i n mainten ance and operations (includes telephone, postage, supplies , library acquisitions, general
maintenance) . Faculty work loads in "home"
departments have increased because of reduction in graduate assistant pools and clerical
staff, making overload contributions to the
Women's Studies Program difficult or impossible .
Two of our projects supported by external
funds officially ended in December, 1983 .
Several of our strongest faculty members are
seeking employment elsewhere as a direct result of the budget cuts.

REVIEWS
REENA AND OTHER STORIES. By Paule Marshall.
The Feminist Press, $8.95
Paule Marshall 1s muses, she tells us, are
11
the poets in the kitchen, 11 West Indian immigrants like her mother who spent their days
"scrubbing floor 11 for white housewives and
then came home and talked away all silence,
spinning language into richly patterned quilts.
Invisible by race and invisible by sex, these
women "fought back, using the only weapon at
their command: the spoken word. 11 If their
new country denied them, they would remake it
in their own words: 11 In this man world, 11 they
told each other, 11 you got to take yuh mouth
and make a gun! 11 Like her muses, Paule Marshall lives in language; she retells the
world in order to make it new. Her three
novels span the last 25 years; the current
collection - five short stories, an autobiographical essay and a novella, "Merle, 11
based on her superb 1969 novel, 11 The Chosen
Place, The Timeless People, 11 Marshall 1s
finest book - is something of a sampler,
offering an uneven but always rewarding introduction to her work. Unlike so much modern fiction, which often seems to be inscribed on the inside of a skull, Marshall's
tales are panoramic; her carefully detailed
portraits are framed by restless social
landscapes. In my favorite story, the autobiographical 11 To Da-Duh, In Memoriam, 11 a
9-year old Brooklyn girl visits her grandmother on Barbados. The old woman, awed and
terrified by rumors of New York, points out
breadfruit, mangoes, fields of cane and asks
triumphantly, 11 Tel 1 me, have you got anything like these in that place where you were
born? 11 When the child insists that New York
has a building taller than the island's tallest palm or highest hill, the old woman and
the old world are defeated. What the child's
truth destroyed, however, the writer's truth
restores; this is Marshall 1s gift to the
pciets in her kitchen.

NO FAIRLY GODMOTHERS, NO MAGIC WANDS: THE
HEALING PROCESS AFTER RAPE. By Judy H. Katz.
R & E Publishers, $8.95
There are no fairy godmothers or magic wands
to help a woman deal with the aftermath of
being raped. Rather, it is the author's contention that rape can best be understood
from the basis of a personal experience.
Katz presents us with her personal account
of rape and the impact of the experience on
herself, her family and significant others.
The author describes from a personal and
professional perspective, as a counselor and
educator, the healing process which occurs
after an assault. The attack in many respects
does not end after the rapist leaves. The
scars can become deeply imbedded. Many reactions to the rape may emerge days or months
after the assault. The healing process integrating the experience into the woman's life
will also be affected by the kinds of support
and medical personnel, friends, family and
significant others. All play a key role in
the healing process. Katz also addresses the
reality that it is not the woman alone who
is affected by the rape. Family members,
friends and other significant others must
cope with the violent act that has touched
their lives. They will never be the same.
The rape victim and her significant others
must find ways to put their lives in a new
order . This book is a must for women and men
alike . Although there are no instant panaceas to help the victim cope with the assault,
there are ways we can better understand ~~d
ease the pain of the emotional healing process.

In the misty town of Burnton on the Oregon coast,
journalist-detective Nyla Wade discovers a limestone
castle and old murders and a town too anxious to
obliterate the castle and its history: the generations of
lesbians who have lived there.
"... Nyla stepped up to Karp's desk, picked up a
photo and looked at it closely. Karp watched her. She
_forced herself to contain her revulsio11:--in black and
white photos, blood was black, but no less gory. She
put the picture down in front of the Chief and kept
her finger on it."
" 'You'll talk to Mitch Masters and Ritchie Dennis?'
Her eyes told him she was afraid of nothing.
"Karp didn't answer. Nyla leaned in close to him.

Lesbian Task Force or the National Coalition
Against Domestic Violence .

BUDGET CUTS IN WOMEN'S STUDIES
The Women's Studies Program at the University
of Oklahoma has been ser iously damaged by the
state's financial crisis. For the 1982-3 academic year , the Program budget was cut by
exactly the 4% mandated by the University .
For the 1983-4 academic year, when Universitywide cuts were estimated at 9% and most maintenance and operations allocations in Arts
and Sciences (where the Program is housed)
were cut 16% or less, Women's Studies was cut
36% in wages , 100% for graduate assistantship ,
100% for the instructor who taught Introduction to Women's Studies, and 50% i n mainten ance and operations (includes telephone, postage, supplies , library acquisitions, general
maintenance) . Faculty work loads in "home"
departments have increased because of reduction in graduate assistant pools and clerical
staff, making overload contributions to the
Women's Studies Program difficult or impossible .
Two of our projects supported by external
funds officially ended in December, 1983 .
Several of our strongest faculty members are
seeking employment elsewhere as a direct result of the budget cuts.

REVIEWS
REENA AND OTHER STORIES. By Paule Marshall.
The Feminist Press, $8.95
Paule Marshall 1s muses, she tells us, are
11
the poets in the kitchen, 11 West Indian immigrants like her mother who spent their days
"scrubbing floor 11 for white housewives and
then came home and talked away all silence,
spinning language into richly patterned quilts.
Invisible by race and invisible by sex, these
women "fought back, using the only weapon at
their command: the spoken word. 11 If their
new country denied them, they would remake it
in their own words: 11 In this man world, 11 they
told each other, 11 you got to take yuh mouth
and make a gun! 11 Like her muses, Paule Marshall lives in language; she retells the
world in order to make it new. Her three
novels span the last 25 years; the current
collection - five short stories, an autobiographical essay and a novella, "Merle, 11
based on her superb 1969 novel, 11 The Chosen
Place, The Timeless People, 11 Marshall 1s
finest book - is something of a sampler,
offering an uneven but always rewarding introduction to her work. Unlike so much modern fiction, which often seems to be inscribed on the inside of a skull, Marshall's
tales are panoramic; her carefully detailed
portraits are framed by restless social
landscapes. In my favorite story, the autobiographical 11 To Da-Duh, In Memoriam, 11 a
9-year old Brooklyn girl visits her grandmother on Barbados. The old woman, awed and
terrified by rumors of New York, points out
breadfruit, mangoes, fields of cane and asks
triumphantly, 11 Tel 1 me, have you got anything like these in that place where you were
born? 11 When the child insists that New York
has a building taller than the island's tallest palm or highest hill, the old woman and
the old world are defeated. What the child's
truth destroyed, however, the writer's truth
restores; this is Marshall 1s gift to the
pciets in her kitchen.

NO FAIRLY GODMOTHERS, NO MAGIC WANDS: THE
HEALING PROCESS AFTER RAPE. By Judy H. Katz.
R & E Publishers, $8.95
There are no fairy godmothers or magic wands
to help a woman deal with the aftermath of
being raped. Rather, it is the author's contention that rape can best be understood
from the basis of a personal experience.
Katz presents us with her personal account
of rape and the impact of the experience on
herself, her family and significant others.
The author describes from a personal and
professional perspective, as a counselor and
educator, the healing process which occurs
after an assault. The attack in many respects
does not end after the rapist leaves. The
scars can become deeply imbedded. Many reactions to the rape may emerge days or months
after the assault. The healing process integrating the experience into the woman's life
will also be affected by the kinds of support
and medical personnel, friends, family and
significant others. All play a key role in
the healing process. Katz also addresses the
reality that it is not the woman alone who
is affected by the rape. Family members,
friends and other significant others must
cope with the violent act that has touched
their lives. They will never be the same.
The rape victim and her significant others
must find ways to put their lives in a new
order . This book is a must for women and men
alike . Although there are no instant panaceas to help the victim cope with the assault,
there are ways we can better understand ~~d
ease the pain of the emotional healing process.

In the misty town of Burnton on the Oregon coast,
journalist-detective Nyla Wade discovers a limestone
castle and old murders and a town too anxious to
obliterate the castle and its history: the generations of
lesbians who have lived there.
"... Nyla stepped up to Karp's desk, picked up a
photo and looked at it closely. Karp watched her. She
_forced herself to contain her revulsio11:--in black and
white photos, blood was black, but no less gory. She
put the picture down in front of the Chief and kept
her finger on it."
" 'You'll talk to Mitch Masters and Ritchie Dennis?'
Her eyes told him she was afraid of nothing.
"Karp didn't answer. Nyla leaned in close to him.
