Moran
Meets
With
Women
By TERESA BRITTAIN
Staff Writer
Continuing its work on women
leadership on campus, the Task
Force on the Promotion and
Development of Women Leadership
had an informative meeting with
Chancellor Moran on March 11.
Dr. Mary Abu-Saba, head of the
Task Force, said that her group was
mainly interested in asking the
Chancellor how more women could
be placed in leading administrative
positions, but then Dr. Moran also
addressed the more general area of
how to have more women leader-ship.
He said that, "as persons, we
need to be constantly assessing our
own talents according to the world
and we need to recognize that the
people ahead of us aren't so much
more talented than as they have had
experiences that we have now." Dr.
Abu-Saba believes that providing
women with opportunities to learn
leadership capacities may be the key
to having more women leadership.
The meeting with the Chancellor
was enlightening in other ways, ac-cording
to the Task Force head. She
said that the fact that the Chancellor
took time out of an unusually busy
schedule to address the group shows
what an interest he has in this sub-ject.
Dr. Abu-Saba commented,
"He brought an energetic approach
to the discussion; he gave the_feeling
that he was a working 'member of
the group. I believe this says
something of his leadership skills."
The Task Force leader also said
that her group is beginning to
examine the recommendations they
have been receiving, and pulling
them together so that they can make
their recommendations to the
Alumni Advisory Committee on
Long-Range Planning. She said
they will be trying to provide ways
for women to get the experience
they need for leadership, and com-mented,
"It isn't that women are
now capable as leaders, it is just that
when they come to the University,
they follow the patterns they have
learned in early life. They are doing
the dirty committee work, not
leading the committee."
One specific recommendation the
Task Force has been studying in
their work is setting up a network of
support for women leaders. The
group has found that one of the
reasons so many men have leader-ship
roles on campus is that once a
man is in that position, the buddy
system always provides a male suc-cessor.
One way the Task Force
may recommend to build such a
system for women is to identify
potential women leaders according
to their interest in high school, and
to invite these women to some type
of meeting so they can get to know
each other, and through follow-up
meetings, to hopefully foster a net-work
of support.
However, u tome recommen-dations
are being considered, others
are being offered. The Task Force
will be hearing from male leaders on
campus today (Tuesday, March 25)
at 3:30 p.m. All interested students
are invited to attend.

Ralph Nader
to Lecture
Greensboro Ralph Nader,
who has a national following as a
consumer advocate, will speak in in
Aycock Auditorium at UNC-G on
Monday, March 31, at 9 p.m.
Nader will speak on the topic,
"Consumerism in the 1980's: The
Role of Students and the
Community."
Nader's speech is open to the
public. While the session is free to

Sponsoring organizations for
Nader's visit include the N. C.
Public Interest Research Group,
UNC-G Student Government,

Senate, Guilford College Union, The
Carolinian, and five campus
religious organizations at UNC-G.
The latter five are the Wesley-
Lutheran House, St. Mary's House,
the Pines, Baptist Student Union
and Presbyterian House.
Nader first came to public
attention in 1965 with the publishing
of his book, "Unsafe at Any
Speed." The volume, which has
sold over Vi million copies in the
United States, focuses on the
designed-in dangers of American
autos. In 1968, he established the
Center for Study of Responsive
Law, and set up a group of workers,
since dubbed as "Nader's Raiders,"
to work on researching public-interest
issues.
In 1971, Nader and bis raiders
investigated the U.S. Congress. A
book entitled "Who Runs
Congress? The President, Big
Business or You?" has since been
published out of this project.
In recent years, Nader has led
opposition to the building and University.
operation of nuclear power plants in
the U.S., has questioned
government positions on other
energy issues and has regularly
taken public positions on a variety of
consumer questions. Among other
targets, he has taken on the
Educational Testing Service and has
issued a report on this agency
entitled: "The Reign of ETS: the
Corporation that Makes Up
Minds."

Job Location Pulitzer Prize Winner
Program to Speak on Campus
Greensboro - A new job location
and development program, with the
purpose of helping Triad business
men fill part-time and full-time em-ployment
needs with college studen-ts,
has gone into operation at UNC-O.
The program, which is a part of
UNC-G's Career Planning and
Placement Center operations, has as
its primary function soliciting job
opportunities and matching
available students with off-campus
positions.
"The program will serve both
graduate and undergraduate studen-ts
in matching them with jobs," said
Bruce Nolan, who coordinates the
program at UNC-G. "It will serve
as a job listing source and will give
employers a free means of adver-tising
their personnel needs.
"We see this as a service to em-ployers
which makes available a labor
bank with a great diversity in terms
of training, background and ex-perience.
We can accept any job
listing from any equal opportunity
employer."
Interested employers can obtain
further information on the program
by contacting Ms. Nolan at 379-
5157 weekdays in UNC-G's Career
Planning and Placement Center.
The program was implemented
under the 1976 amendment to the
Higher Education Act of 1965.
Nationwide, the job location and
development programs at colleges
and universities are designed to
provide aid, through student em-ployment
in off-campus businesses,
to middle income families.
Although the program is a form
of assistance for students, Ms.
Nolan noted that it is not based on
student need. "It is designed to ad-dress
the issue of providing aid in
some form to the increasingly bur-dened
middle income family," she
said. "It's a financial assistance
program which does not involve
giving direct financial aid."
