The memorable 1981-82 academic year has marked a new era for the Barnard community and President Putter in more ways than one. On Sep- tember 21, 1981, an anxiously awaited stork landed on the Milbank steps to announce the birth of Anne Victoria Shutkin. Thus, President Putter becomes the first Barnard president to remain in office after pregnancy, proving that Home and Motherhood can be effectively combined with Homer and Mil- tiades. We wish Annie a happy and prosperous life, and we proudly welcome her to the Barnard Class of 1999. 8

Alums Pledge Support By Mary Witherell The first indication that Barnard has gotten that its agreement with Columbia is being positively received is that the college is now $50,000 richer. Just like that. Within twenty-four hours of President Putter ' s announcement of the new agree- ment with Columbia at the January 22nd faculty meeting, volunteers were on the phone informing approximately 300 alum- nae of the news. The reaction, according to Irma Moore, Director of Alumnae Affairs, was more than favorable. I would say that they were aU very pleased that we had not lost our identity, said Moore, and pleased that we still had the relationship with Columbia. They all felt very keenly that it is important for Barnard to remain a college for women but with a tie to the university. BARNARD Signor Michaele! Signor Michaele! Si, Renaldo. Mtchaele, it ' s the agree- ment! Si, Renaldo. All the original terms, Michaele! Si, Renaldo. Elena accepts them! The women, the enrollments, everything. She won ' t interfere. We give her the tenure conces- sion, and she gives us a free market in girls. We coeducate! It ' s amazing. . . The new agreement will permit Columbia to admit women in the fall of 1983, thereby ameliorating the quality of its applicant pool and its students ' social life. Tenuring procedures for Barnard will include a panel of two Columbia professors, two Barnard professors (as opposed to the former 3-2 arrangement), and one outside scholar, to be approved by Barnard ' s Dean of the Faculty. The agreement will be in effect until 1989, thus ensuring both schools a certain degree of stability. Cross-registration and access to facilities will remain as they are until then. On January 25, 1982, over 800 students, faculty, and administrators crowded into the Barnard gym for an all-college assembly. President Futter presented the major points of the new agreement, and representatives from other interested parties gave their views. Although many people fear that Barnard will not be able to survive Columbia ' s competition, the majority of the Barnard community was relieved to hear there will be no merger, and confident in the school ' s future. Undergrad president Nancy Poundstone pointed out that with each new discus- sion we were losing another piece of Barnard. Now we can pursue our own goals. Senior Class president Rosa Alonso observed that Columbia University chose to keep us in their unison of schools. In this affiliation, Columbia University has given prestige to Barnard, but it has been more than proven that Barnard has brought prestige to Columbia University. Our identity and excellence is not threatened by the decision of Columbia College to admit women. Barnard competes with the top Ivy League coeducational institutions, and the fact that one more should come into the competition does not mean we are ' finished ' . Until now, the speculation got in the way of the daily program at both schools, according to JoeTolliver, Director of College Activities. The political science department ' s Leslie Caiman said that the key to Barnard ' s future seems to be future admissions, but warned that high school women are not as aware of the problems of being women and the virtues of an all-women ' s education. Christine Royer, Director of Admissions, expects a lot of hard work, but believes that things are going to be happening at Barnard in a very positive way. In the weeks that followed. President Futter met with students in the dorms and in Mcintosh to discuss the agreement and answer their questions. Bulletin and Spectator published stories and letters on every aspect of the issue until both campuses were saturated with it. The staff of Mortarboard believes this is a great opportunity for Barnard to grow and prosper, and looks forward to many more years of feuding with The Columbian, confident that — like our school and her students — we will shine. 7
