Women’s status with
Clements called low

A New Dimension In

By ESTHER CORTEZ
Battalion Reporter
Women are not a very high prior
ity in Gov. Clements’s new adminis
tration, says the former head of the
Commission on the Status of
Women in Texas.
Karen Dill Bowerman was direc
tor of the commission until about
two weeks ago when the governor
dismissed the staff.
The commission was established
by executive order in 1977. Its pur
pose was to establish statistics con
cerning the status of women in the
state, and make recommendations
on women s programs.
They had already managed to or
ganize a state network of women in
professional areas to provide advice
and recommend policies, Bower-
man says.

An Indian and a bad guy are in action at Texas A&M University —
but not as part of a western movie.
The American cigar store Indian, a 93-inch tall wood carving, dis
appeared from the corridor of the Rudder Conference Center some
time between 1 a.m. and 5 p.m. Sunday, according to Bill Hensel,
manager of the University Center.
The statue, valued at $1,700, was last seen by Aggie Cinema work
ers after the Saturday night Military Ball. The statue had been moved
from its regular place to the south end of the hall because of the ball.
A cleanup crew realized it was missing Sunday afternoon.
The building and grounds were searched Sunday, and the Univer
sity police were called Monday morning.
Russ McDonald, University police chief, said that because of the
insured statue’s value, the theft is a third-degree felony, punishable
by two to 10 years imprisonment and a $5,000 fine.
The commission also published a
manual which is being used in social
work education by various schools.
Bowerman says she was to id the
commission was being eliminated
for “budgetary priorities.”
“To me,” says Bowerman, “that
simply means that this particular
area at this time, was simply not a
priority for the new administration.”
The dissolving of the commission
is a great loss to women, Bowerman
says, since it was the only organiza
tion of its type in the state.
Women must overcome many ob
stacles, both socially and politically,
according to Bowerman. She adds
that this can only be done if they
receive assistance from the leader
ship within the state.
“A structure within the confines
of state government, where the
needs for women’s programs and
policies can be channeled, is neces
sary,” Bowerman says.
She adds that sometimes it is up
to the federal government to
provide assistance when the state
does not take action in problem
areas.
“However,” says Bowerman, “it
is my personal hope that we in Texas
won’t have to look for national lead
ership in this area.”
She says she does not know how
good a chance there is that the
commission will be reinstated.
