Cucknsr From s(aff reports Months cf intense planning, organizing and cam paigning winds up today as candidates for campus offices and their campaign workers exert last-minute efforts to ensure that their hard work pays off at the pot's. . ' ' Candidates will be encouraging students to vote, while Elections Board members will be working to keep the final hours of the campaign and the voting running smoothly. "It's gotten smoother closer to the election date. All of the attention has been switched from us to the candidates said Gregg. James, Elections Board chairperson. The attention focused on the candidates has caused some of the races this year to be marred with rumors, innuendoes, vandalism and endless quibbling. "I have been very disappointed at the way this election has been running," said Deana Williamson, Elections Board publicity chairperson. "It makes each candidate look bad and it puts pressure on us." James said some of blame for the healed tempers had to be placed on the candidates' supporters. "There are supporters who may not be able to take criticism about their candidate well." Student body presidential candidate Scott Norberg's campaign manager, , Lisa Harper, agreed that the race this year was not "d' good clean cam paign where you felt like you were, working for someone instead of against them." Harper said Norbcrg's organization would conduct a voting drive to increase voter turnout. Norberg's strongest support will come from off campus and graduate districts and South Campus, she said. . . , Presidential candidate Tim Smith said he would spend today going to class and the evening waiting for the results in Great Hall: "Norberg and Buckner are really going at it tooth and nail so they may have overlooked me. If Jimmy Carter can do it, I can. I didn't do any mudslinging in this campaign. I don't go for that stuff. I go for the issues and not the personalities. That's their de cision, not mine," he said. While Joe Buckner's staff will be going door-to-door, he said that he would catch up on his reading today. "There's gonna be a long stretch between 10 and seven (poll hours)," he said. Buckner said he expected to do well all over, espe cially in the fraternity and sorority areas. Mark Bozymski, another presidential candidate, said he would also go to class and play some tennis. He expected to have a strong showing in Granville and Everett. ' ' Both candidates for Daily Tar Heel editor said they would be out campaigning until the polls closed. "I'll be out from dawn to dusk," Jim Hummel said. I'm going to be in a number of different places shoring up support. This is no time to stop." X' Thomas Jessiman said, "I'll be going around and talking to people who have been helping me out. The main thing to do is get out the vote and we're going to do a lot of that." Jessiman's campaign manager, Jonathan Rich, said they were confident in winning and pointed to their organization as the key to that victory. Frasier Ives, HummePs campaign manager, said the support of his workers was the key to a Hummel victory. Hummel and Jessiman said they hoped for a high turnout. Hummel expected a strong showing in Old East and off campus while Jessiman said he was not particularly weak in any area. Candidates for Carolina Athletic Association president said they would not be doing anything differently today to solicit votes. Chuck Gardiner and Harold Cooley said they would be talking to people all day while Steve Theriot said he would make sure all of his friends voted. . : V : "Most people involved with the campaign often forget to vote because the last day is anti-climatic," he said. ' ' Jake Kelly said she would be busy giving students rides to polling places. "We' might get a keg (of beer), in our room," she said, vl;. ' .. . ... . "All four candidates concurred that the close races and extensive publicity would result in a high percentage of voters and each predicted a good chance of winning. , : "1 think I'm doing pretty well," Gardiner said. "I'm pretty confident I've gotten good feedback." .1 " . ' v Cooley said, "I think if a lot of people get out to vote, I've got a good shot." . Linda Howey and Robert Bianchi, candidates for Residence Mall Association president, sali they would try to get students out to vote today after they had gone to class. Both of their campaign managers expressed confidence in winning.- "I'm very confident in winning," said Hugh Brown, Bianchi's campaign manager. "Robert really wanted the job. The confidence he has shown has come through." : See ELECTION cn psga '2': ; 4 ' -I I - i Smith o o 7! Cy LINDA ROCERTSON Staff Wriler 1 . Betty Friedan and Phyllis Schlafly de bated the pros-and-cons of the Equal Rights Amendment in a lively discussion Monday night at Memorial Hall. -Friedan -advocated -the -passage-of-. ERA for the security of a "constitu tional underpinning" that would ensure equal rights for all." "1 pass the torch to you. I hope you take it. I hope you make a micracle happen in this state by June 1932," Friedan said. Schlafly opened her remarks by say ing, "The Equal Rights Amendmen is an idea whose time has passed. It is not re levant to the era we live in." The comments by the two nationally respected women often drew spirited ap plause and comments from the sell-out crowd, which was definitely pro Friedan. - Friedan, founder of the National Organization for Women (NOW) and author of The Feminine Mystique argued that passage of the proposed amendment was a matter of economic survival. Friedan said that ERA would "...at least provide the constitutional underpinnings that we need for equal rights." . Schlafly, chairperson .of Stop ERA . .and author of nine books, said through out the debate that the goal of ERA was a gender free society devoid of any dis tinctions between men and women. "It would be ridiculous to treat everybody the same. It would not be just. Every law would have to bd sex neutral." Friedan maintained that ERA would f o a long way toward eliminating sexual discrimination in educational, employ-, mcnt and property matters. Schlafly countered that the ERA was not necessary. "ERA will not get you a hirband, it will not keep him from leaving you once you t! him, it will net get you a job, a promotion, a raise in pay and it has nothing to do with' private industry," Schlafly said. Friedan said that the tights women have gained in recent years were now be ing threatened and warned that, "We arc living in a climate of desperation because nobody has the answers, but on this issue it is c!.:r what is right and vhat is wrong." Schlafly repeatedly said that ERA would drastically alter the relationship between women end the military. "Don't be under any 'illusion that wemtn would t:t all the safe desk jobs while rr.:n ere sent into combat, for that, would be sex discriminatory too." FiieJan objected to what she called the "ttiua'.liatinn cf the isvu:. Ail rr.rn are created equal. What we now will be sains is that all pcms are created equal.

J lied,; ;t countered with the ctnr.nt' "I d.m't K;!ue the hfe oi my d:t.:'.:rr out the hfe ff iH Mm. II. e dull is rui the crucial issue here." Friedan argued that a favorite tactic of the anti-ERA forces was to divert the issue to topics not directly related to the ERA. Many people are trying to manipulate the issue. I will try to trans- , cend somextxfte false issues and diverv. ; sions. ERA has nothing to do with bath rooms or our military security or how you treat someone in a private or sexual way. It is as general and conceptual as the Constitution." : , Schlafly said that because the scope of ERA was so broad, its meaning could easily be interpreted in a variety of ways. "I. don't think your imagination is vivid enough to think up all the mischief they (the government) could do with ERA," Schlafly said. Schlafly argued that the . proposed amendment would give too much power to the federal government. ERA would be a blank check to the federal courts. "It would give all kinds of power to the federal government; Congress, the courts and the bureauerau ...i Ses DEBATE on pags 2 Catty Fricdcn, ERA advocate end co-founder of th3 Nations!

Though Taylor has not yet been contracted Chapel Thrill Chairperson Bert Johnson said his promoters had contacted. Linda Wright, assistant director of the Carolina Union, and had made a verbal offer. Johnson said Taylor would be joined by Santana end another band to complete the package. The Finance Committee unanimously agreed to ap prove the extra $30,000 to the Chapel Thrill budget, $25,000 for bands and $5,000 for production. This additional money would bring the estimated budget for the concert to $147,090. Taylor would cost $50,000 of the $90,000 allotted for bands. The remaining money would be used for Santana. The extra money is contin gent upon the contracting of Taylor, Santana and the other band and must be approved by the full council at a special meeting tonight. Johnson said the money w as needed if the committee was to stay with the three-band plan. "I think if we try to create a program that is going to reach all students, we should go with three bands." Johnson said; "With just Taylor and another band we might have a mass exodus of black students." The promoters said Taylor would release' a new album March 9 before going on tour in May. Chapel Hill would be his only stop before touring the West Coast. Johnson said because Taylor had lived in Chapel Hill for 14 years, his promoters wanted to start the tour here in an outdoor setting, . "They thought it would be a good idea for him to start in Chapel HI'," Johnson said. "I think we could sell out. I hope the CGC approves it."

Two ceaaeni M;.lznt fees -azid-ths- others-will be on revisions to the" constitution and the election bylaws! A proposal from the Campus Governing Council, if approved by the students, would raise the student activities fee by 50 cents per semester. This second part of the proposal would cut the $2 per person activities fee of summer students. CGC Speaker Cynthia Currin said this was a redistribution of the, activities fee, not an increase in revenue for Student Government. "This proposal is so summer students won't be paying exorbitant fees for ser vices they don't get," Currin said. "Many student organizations operate only nine months of the year. The main fcdvantegs to the proposal is the spread ing out of the fees," A second proposal to be voted on would charge the summer school stu dents $2 for social fees per session. RHA President Peggy Lctght said the money to be added to summer dorm rents would be funncled into the Student. Activities Fund Office through RHA. "The money would be for any activity the residents want to use it for, whether social, academic or cultural," Ldghtt said. "Right now summer school stu dents have no way to g:t the money ex cept for maybe collecting it cn the hall." One constitutional referendum would shorten the time between the initial elec tion and the inauguration date for stu dent body president, CGC members and the ItHA president. If rrr'oved, the In auguration ceremonies wou'J be held on the fifteenth day after the inlilal election.
