Staff WrUer The ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment in North Carolina has fired up campus organizations both supporting and opposing the passage of the amendment. The Association for Women Students is working for the passage of the ERA, and the newly formed Carolina for Freedom organization is working to block the amendment. As an opponent of ERA, Carolina for Freedom claims that the amendment is a repetition of rights already guaranteed to women under the Constitution. "ERA is redundant. It provides no further protection under the law," said Chris Kramer, leader of Carolina for Freedom. "We don't need more laws; we need to change existing laws." The organization also sees this amendment as abolishing the right of the wife to be supported by her husband, creating major changes in child support laws and affecting state funding for abortions. - "Concerning abortions, ERA won't affect the number of abortions being performed, but it will change the funding of abortions," Kramer said. North Carolina' is one of ten states that uses state money to pay for medically necessary abortions. Kramer said passage of the ERA would increase government funded abortions. "ERA also creates major changes in child support laws concerning husbands and wives. The law now favors women in that the husband is required to support his wife and family," Kramer said. "I'm not saying that this is right or wrong; it's the way society functions." As a proponent of ERA, Susan Cohen, chairperson of the Association for Women Students, said the amendment strengthens the family by allowing both partners to be equal and by enhancing the wife's role by retaining her legal rights after marriage. "The Equal Rights Amendment should be passed," Cohen said. "We should, have equal rights under law for both men and women. Barb Huffman Barb Huffman, treasurer of AWS, said that she saw the passage of the amendment as having a psychological effect. "It'll mean change, but it won't happen overnight. It'll be more a spill over of changes and events into the next generation so that my children will see more of the outcome than " we will today," Huffman said. The Equal Rights Amendment comes before the North Carolina legislature in the next session of the General Assembly. Dy JEFF COWERS Staff Writer The Chapel Hill Transportation Board voted Tuesday night to recommend to the Town Council that, beginning in January, D and A bus routes be combined on Saturdays. "We have planned that this route will serve Durham Boulevard and the Saturday 'biggies' such as Brendles, Eastgate and the Mall," Transportation Director Bob Godding said. The proposed route would follow Durham Boulevard from Piriegate Apartments to University Mall, then Franklin Street to the downtown area, then Airport Road. The net cost of the new service would be about $2,800, and the town could handle the expense easily in its budget, Godding said. Last year, the Transportation Board recommended that the D and A routes have Saturday service, but the Town Council did not approve the proposal because of a lack of money. The Town Council is expected to approve the proposal this year, however, because the Transportation Department has a surplus of money. "It appears that there is a so-far untapped contingency fund," said board chairman Terry Lathrop. "I think this would be a good recommendation to send to the council." "This might be a good experiment for only $2,S0Q," board member Gerry Cohen said. In other action the board accepted a petition calling for L or C routes to be extended to the Pine Knolls community. The board will discuss this issue at its next meetinj Oct. 7. In ether business, Godding reported ridership figures were down for the month of August. Overall ridership was down by 3 percent and ridership on the campus routes was down 27 percent from last August, he said. b& lit 1 1 ecme urive-m lue tines The Chapel Hill Planning Board decided at its meeting existing regulations.
