"Mad as Hell" Over Firing of Abzug
BY WILLIAM HOLDEN
NEWS EDITOR
UNC President William Friday
addressed a conference of the
American Association of University
Professors Monday in the Virginia
Dare room of the Alumni House.
Friday's discussion centered around
"Problems and Issues facing the
UNC system."
Mr. Friday began his talk by ex-plaining
the situation the UNC net-work
faces concerning department
of HEW, saying that we have made
"significant progress" toward the
goal of integrating North Carolina's
predominantly black and white
colleges and universities.
"We have no disagreement with
President Friday Attacks
Proposed Desegregation Plan
the objectives, we have always been
for a greater minority presence"
said Friday. He went on to attack
the proposed desegregation plan as
"a way around pupil assignment. It
was our contention that we could
not accept this requirement under
the terms prescribed."
Friday went on to say that of the
prescribed guidelines for integration
(150 percent in 5 years) the UNC
system has in only 2 years integrated
almost 140 percent. "I know of no
other state that can say this," he
emphatically stated. "There has
been approximately 40 million
dollars spent on predominantly
black institutions. We've done our
best to act in good faith. We don't
feel a program of closing or merging
universities is necessary," Friday
also said that there are now 30 per-cent
minorities attending the UNC
systems traditionally white univer-sity.
When asked if the decision recen-tly
reached by HEW in Norfolk
concerning duplication of programs
(attOld Dominion and Norfolk State
could be a precedent to the UNC-G/
A&T duplication study. Friday
said "no, I don't think so, even the
people in these systems agree that
the changes made are really only
cosmetic."
Friday's closing comment on the
HEW situation was that, "We have
done all we can do - if you mean
Alda Advocates ERA
BY RIC HODGES
Staff Writer
After being presented the keys to
the city of Raleigh, actor and ERA
spokesman Alan Alda stated in a
news conference that he was 'mad as
hell' over the firing by the President
of Bella Abzug as co-chairman of
the National Women's Advisory
Committee. "This week President
Carter proved it's hard for men to
listen to women" added the 42-year-old
actor.
Alda was in North Carolina for a
two stop campaign for the ERA.
The campaign began in Elizabeth
City Saturday where Alda addressed
conservative legislators. From there
he continued to Raleigh for a press
conference and pro ERA rally.
When asked if he had convinced the

two speeches
given in North
Carolina last
week.

Northeastern senators to vote yes on
ERA Alda said. "They said I didn't.
I didn't expect to convert them
during one lunch. But at least I did
cover them with the slime of my
amiability."
"I know of nobody who has been
hurt at the polls by a pro ERA stan-ce,
but it does work the other way,"
commented Alda.
Alda expressed his pro ERA stan-ce
in terms of his daughters, "I
don't want them to have to work
three times as hard as a man to
get a job." According to Alda, the
average male high school dropout
makes one thousand dollars a year
more than a woman with a college
degree.
When asked why a state ERA
wouldn't be enough, Alda replied,
"I don't want my daughters to have
to shop around this country for a
place to live."
Alda addressed a large audience!
in Raleigh and related a personal
story to the attentive group. "When
I was seven I came down with polio.
I'm here today because my mother
recognized the symptoms and
because I had a doctor that heard
about the only treatment that could
have saved my life," he said. The
treatment was discovered by an
Australian nurse who in 1918
treated a poKo victim with heat. The
cure worked. But the nurse, Sister
Kinney, was shouted down and
scoffed at when she tried to present
her findings to the medical com-munity.
Only through persistence
and determination did she finally
convince the doctors that the cure
worked. She succeeded in 1939 after
millions had died or been crippled
by the disease including one
American president.
Alda stated that it offended him
that he had special rights not en-joyed
by his wife and daughters. But
the actor denied that the ERA is
only for women.
After the rally Alda rushed off to
a meeting with the Governor, Jim
Hunt.
'78-f79 College Enrollment
Takes Slight Drop
WASHINGTON, D.C.
(CPS)—Enrollment at colleges and
universities across the country for
the 1978-79 school year is down, ac-cording
to the latest estimates from
Marie Eldridge of the National Cen-ter
for Education Statistics
(NCES. Enrollment estimates get
more accurate as the school year
progresses, and the most recent
NCES assessment supplants an Oc-tober
report from the University of
Cincinnati, which said enrollment
this year "will neither increase nor
decrease by any significant
amount."
The NCES counted 11,346,000
students on campus in September,
1978. a five percent decrease from
the enrollment level of September,
1977. Moat of the decrease was at-tributable
to the relative scarcity of
the full-time male student, who now
accounts for leu than a third of the
national college population.
There are 2.3 million full-time
female students enrolled in colleges
this year, a two percent increase
over 1977-78. A University of Cin-cinnati
report last spring showed
that men and women will be atten-ding
colleges in almost equal num-

Other business discussed at the
meeting included a special study
concerning faculty workload, tenure
and this year's UNC budget request.
The special study is designed to
evaluate the average number of
hours spent in class by NC Univer-sity
professors, the policies for
acquiring tenured positions, and the
level of performance of these in-structors.
According to Mr. Friday, the
study results have been compared
with those of other states "Which
have conducted similar inquiries"
and "our results are not markedly
different from other studies across
the nation."
The budget segment of the
meeting was primarily concerned
with new facilities which are to be
built on several NC University com-puses
and a 7 percent pay increase
for professors and other educators.
Highest priority in terms of dollars
spent will go to NC State, which has
recently had its request for a school
of Veterinary Medicine approved by
the board of governors. Second in
budgeting priority will be East

University Gains 25
New Faculty Members
BY KATHRYN LOSEY
Staff Writer
The Office of Academic Affairs,
lists seven new full time faculty
members for Spring Semester, as
well as 18 new part-time faculty
members.
The Research Associate in the Of-fice
of Admissions is Ellen A. Bar-nes.
Ms. Barnes received her BA
Personality Test
from UNC-O and is in the process
of acquiring her M.Ed at UNC-G.
There are two new faculty mem-bers
in the School of Education.
Elizabeth A. Ashburn is a fuD-urae

BA from the University of NY at
Buffalo. Also in the School of
Education is Nicholas A. Vacc. Dr.
Vacc received his BS from Western

Athletic Women Win
UNIVERSITY PARK, PA (CPS) -
"There's nothing unfeminine about
playing to win." Although to many
this may seem only common sense,
Pennsylvania State University
professor Dorothy Harris always
offers this advice to her female
students. As she sees it, "there's an
inherent assumption in our society
that female athletes are less
feminine than other women."
The physical education professor
says this notion has been per-petuated
by standard personality
tests which ask such questions as
"Would you rather take showers or
baths?" "Showers are considered
masculine," Harris explained, "so a
girl who prefers showers is said to be
more masculine."
Thus Harris, along with PSU
graduate student Susan Jennings,
administered a newly-developed
personality test to almost 600 Penn
State students, both male and
female, athlete and non-athlete.
Along with masculine and feminine,
this test characterizes subjects ac-cording
to androgynous and undif-ferentiated.
Androgynous refers to
people who score high in both
masculine and feminine traits, and
undifferentiated refers to those who
score low in both.
The results: most female athletes
were androgynous, and those who
were androgynous tended to have
the highest self-esteem of all the
students tested. "What this
means," Harris said, "is that many
of the female athletes had charac-teristics,
such as the desire to work
hard and excel, that should be
desirable for anyone, regardless of
gender."
Harris thinks the current move
away from gender stereotypes
associated with sports may
ultimately have a greater effect on
men than on women. "Historically,
there have been many more barriers
against male participation in sports
thought to be feminine. For a long
time, male tennis players were
thought to be effeminate, or even
homosexual," Harris said. "We've
gone beyond that today, but there
are many sports, such as figure
skating, that are still on the fringes
for men."

News Briefs
TEHRAN, IRAN - Exited
Iranian religious leader. Ayatollah
Khomeini reportedly plans to return
home to Iran as early as Friday in
hopes of setting up a new gover-nment
with himself as its leader. His
supporters in Iran were apprehen-sive
of Khomeini's return so shortly
after Shah Mohammed Reza
Pahlavi's abdication. Proponents of
the new government fear that they
have not had enough time to placate
the military leaders who favor
Shahpour Bakhtiar as leader of (he
new regime. Before abdicating.
Shah Pahlavi made reluctant
military officers pledge not to state
a coup d'etat against the Bakhtiar
government, though talks with the
military concerning Khomeini's
return have been fruitless.
