Female Notables Attend Opening Of Women's Center

President Horner was on hand yesterday with about 100 other women to celebrate the opening of the Radcliffe-Harvard Women's Center in its new quarter on the first floor of Agassiz Theatre.

A group of female undergraduates and graduate students organized the center last year as a clearinghouse for information on women's issues.

The center, which is funded by the Radcliffe Union of Students, has sponsored courses this year in feminist theory, medical self-help and self-defense, as well as consciousness-raising groups and informal counselling.
