North Carolina
Goes Republican
By EDDIE HARDIN
Associate Editor
North Carolina, once thought to
be a Carter stronghold, fell Tuesday
night along with 44 other states as
Ronald Reagan led a mass of
Republicans into the forefront of
American politics.
The landslide victory for Reagan
left much of the nation gasping. The
southern base, which crumbled
early, broke Carter early and many
close races turned into Reagan vic-tories
as the night pressed on.
The Reagan victory in North
Carolina shocked even the most die-hard
voters across the state. "After
Florida fell," said Michael Atkins, a
Greensboro resident and Carter
supporter, "the race was over. Nor-th
Carolina simply went with tide.
It's shocking."
But the real surprise of the
Reagan victory was the manner in
which voter tendencies shifted in the
middle of the campaign. As the
national trend moved farther and
farther to the right. Democrats
across the state found themselves in
tighter races. Early leads by Robert
Morgan and Richardson Preyer
were wiped out as North Carolina
voters jumped on the Republican
bandwagon.
But the biggest shock in local
North Carolina political circles was
the defeat of incumbent Richardson
Preyer. Republican Gene Johnson
moved ahead of his Democratic op-ponent
late in the evening, long af-ter
it became apparent that Carter
would fall.
Preyer, a veteran congressman
from Greensboro, was considered a
shoo-in by many political experts
both here and in Washington. But,
the incumbent, a dominant member
of Carter's Congress, saw his sup-port
fall fast and hard as the nation
ousted Democrat after Democrat.
"What we saw tonight," one
political analyst commented, "was a
great statement by the American
people that they are sick and tired of
wishy-washy Democratic decisions.
It was a powerful statement, not
seen in this state in many, many
years.
Governor Hunt's re-election was
never in doubt despite the Reagan
influence. His margin of victory
over I. Beverly Lake was close to 2-
1. It proved to be one of the only
correct predictions of the night.
As late as Tuesday morning, Car-ter
was considered an overwhelming
favorite in this traditionally
Democratic state. But due to break-downs
in voting procedures across
the state (several counties reportedly
ran out of ballots early in the
evening, thus lengthening voting
deadlines) North Carolina's returns
were delayed. As a result, voters
learned of the Reagan victory before
voting. The bandwagon effect soon
took hold and North Carolina's
Democratic loyals began to jump
on.
Women's Leadership Studied
by Chancellor's Task Force
By KATIE STRICKLAND
Staff Writer
Why has the president of the
Student Government Association
been a male since 1970? Why are
there so many males in the top
leadership roles at UNC-G when
over 7000 of the 10,000 students
here are female?
These are some of the questions
that the Alumni Board of Trustees
wanted answered when they
requested in July 1979 that then
Chancellor James Ferguson appoint
a task force to study and promote
women's leadership on campus.
The Task Force to study and
Promote Women's Leadership
Skills began work in August 1979.
Dr. Mary Abu-Saba of the Coun-seling
center serves as chairperson,
of the 14 member task force. After
almost a year of intensive in-vestigation,
a report was prepared
and presented to Chancellor
William Moran in June.
The committee studied past
student handbooks. They invited
students, faculty, staff, and alumni
to give their points of view. They
obtained data from the Office in In-stitutional
Research, from the
Student Aid Office; gathered in-formation
on faculty salary, rank,
and tenure, and made a computer
search of literature about women
and leadership.
What did this information reveal?
According to Abu-Saba, "We
found as we dug a little deeper so
many more fare reaching things"
than expected. "Women are doing
but men are up front being seen and
getting the power," Abu-Saba said.
"The pattern reflects the general
societal one, where women do not
assume and are not given the lead,"
according to the report. "Women
are often taking leadership positions
where co-operation is called for, but
not where competition is called
for."
In the interviews conducted by the
task force, students expressed con-cern
that there is a lack of support
groups for women seeking to be
leaders. They expressed concern
that there were few role models for
women. They expressed interest in
developing a system of networking
which would provide support for
women seeking elective and nonelec-tive
office. Staff and students
requested that an intensive orien-tation
be given to incoming studen-

Seminar Planned
State Internships Available
By TERESA BRITTAIN
NewsEditor
A seminar will be held Thursday,
October 13 at 2 p.m. in PhilUps
Lounge for all persons interested in
participating in an internship
program next summer. Debbie
Bryant, director of the program,
will explain how the 12S internships
in North Carolina state government
are obtained.
To be eligible for an internship a
student must be currently enrolled
and in good standing at a North
Carolina college, university,
technical institute, or community
college or must be a North Carolina
resident enrolled and in good stan-ding
at an equivalent out-of-state
institution.
The application process consists
of several steps. First the student
should preview the "prospectus"
and decide which projects they
would be interested in. Then they
should fill out an application for
employment, and write a formal let-ter
of application stating the reasons
for their interest in that internship.
The next step is to write a resume
containing any information about
previous employment, honors or ac-tivities.
Then the student should ob-tain
a copy of their grades and sub-mit
this information to the North
Carolina Youth Involvement Office
in Raleigh. The applications must be
postmarked by Feb. 13.1911.
The internship program, which
embraces a wide range of interests,
was first established in the spring of
1969 by the Southern Regional
Education Board. The objectives of
the program ore four-fold. First, it
was designed to provide construc-tive
opportunities for students
seeking to work in public service
areas. Secondly, it encourages
student! to consider careers and
citizen leadership in public
programs and acquaints sponsoring
agencies with possible candidates
for future employment.
A third reason for the program is
to provide students with oppor-tunities
to test and further com-pliment
academic training with
pracitcal experience. Finally, the in-ternship
program is a way to supply
immediate manpower to public
agencies with service needs.
The seminar is sponsored by The
Career Planning and Placement
Center.

Consumer's
Questions
By MARGARET MILLER
. Special to The Carolinian
Can't seem to make your food
money last the month? Think your
neighborhood store is ripping you
off, but don't have the time to com-pare
it with other? If you answered
yes to either of these questions, then
the comparative Grocery Shoppers
Survey, released this week by the
UNC-G Public Interest Research
Group (PIRG), may be just what
you need.
Conducted between the 10th and
22nd of September, the survey com-pares
costs at IS Greensboro area
food stores, listing the prices of 40
items from the categories of meat,
produce, dairy products, grain
products, processed foods and non-foods.
Individual prices are shown
as well as the overall total for each
store. Only 23 items were included
in the totals as not all products were
available everywhere.
The results of the survey reveal a
large difference. At the least expen-sive
end of the scale is the Family
Mart on High Point Rd. with a 25-
item total of $25.98, followed by the
Big Star on High Point at $26.11.
On the opposite end is the Food
World on W. Market, costing
$29.09, more than 12^» higher than
Family Mart. Of the IS stores, S
had a total under S27.00, 4 had
totals over $28.00 and the remainder
fel between these two figures. Even
within a chain of stores totals
varied. The Food World on Sum-mit,
for example, was $2.50 cheaper
that the Food World on W. Market.
These figures can be helpful when
deciding where to shop, whether for
groceries or just for snacks and
beer; however, they are only for
general comparison since many of
the actual prices may have changed.
Also, students should remember
that generic (non-name-brand)
products weren't included, and such
things as service, cleanliness,
quality, and store location weren't
considered. Quality of foods like
produce and meat (its USDA
grading) while not usually affecting
nutritional value, may make a dif-ference
to the shopper. And if he or
she would have to travel a greater
distance to reach the cheaper store
then the cost of gas or the long night
outweigh the saving in food cost.
One solution to this for students
with cars is to shop less often and
buy more at one time. Then if one
or two things were needed between
trips, they could be bought at a
closer store.
Copies of the survey are available
around campus in the usual
locations of The Carolinian.
However, if all copies have been
taken, additional copies may be ob-tained
from PIRG by sending a self-addressed
stamped envelope to
PIRG. P.O. Box 17691. Green-sboro,
N.C. 27410. PIRG is a
student-run organization concerned
with consumer protection and en-viornmental
quality, and most of its
research is done by student volun-teers.
Researchers for this survey
were Martha Berry, Pattie Midgeti,
Margie Miller and Indira Gardiner.
Printing costs were funded by the
UNC-G Student Senate.
This is the second publication put
out this year by PIRG. The first. A
Guide to Greensboro Banks, com-pares
services and charges at several
banks in the area, and was also
researched by Pattie Midget!.
Copies may be obtained from PIRG.
