' Registration will take place in the lobby of the Carolina Union from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesday, 3 p.m. to 9 p.m. Wednes day, and 1 1 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thursday. There are several reasons behind the drive to register students, said Jeff Whise nant, Town Relations Committee member in charge of voter registration. : "If we have 20,000 votes spread out across the East Coast, no one's going to pay attention to us," Whisenant said. "If we have 20,000 students coming out of Orange County, legislators are going to stand up and listen to us." ". Voter registration also is the first step for out-of-state students to establish in state residency, Whisenant said. Students may register to vote in Orange County if they consider it their home and are interested in participating in the local government, said Pat Carpenter, chairper f2 E3 PSYCH C&E ES3 CCJET PCJLT SIT ACT.TCEFl-KSSP KTUIOESS.ECFKS era sued reacts EDUCATIONAL CENTER Tnt Preparation Specialists Sinct 193S for inlormttion.

Mathews notes, however, that these courses are not just for women. "1 think men should take these courses too. If roles change for one sex, . they have to change for the other as well.'! v . Mathews' new book was conceived when Kerber and Mathews met in 1969 at the Berkshire Conference for Women's Historians. Afterward they served for five years on the American Historical Association's Committee of Women Historians. In reality, the book's impetus came when Nancy Lane of Oxford University Press persuaded the two professors to begin the enter prise. ' They took on the challenge and Mathews explained why. "In the past 10 years so much ex citing work has been done in women's son of the Orange County Board of Elec tions. She said that she was interested in seeing students vote once they had registered whether it was in Orange Coun ty or their home county. Elections appearing on the November ballot include those for the U.S. House, the N.C. House, the N.C. Supreme Court Justice, Court of Appeals judges and county commissioners. Students wishing to register on campus next week should bring an identification card with a picture and proof of local residence, such as a checkbook, phone bill, class registration or anything with their local address printed on it. In addition to new registrants, students who have registered here previously but have changed addresses since then can also inform registrars next week in the Union in order to be eligible to vote. Students who are unable to register or change their registration in the Union may do so at the Chapel Hill . Municipal Building, Carrboro Town Hall or any other registration site in Orange County. The last day to register or change a registration in order to be eligible to vote in November is Tuesday, Oct. 4 at 5 p.m. I" 1 1 ff I I I I 1 I I I I I I I I I I I 153 East 942-9204 7 $3.68 value $2.98 with this coupon call-in orders accepted expires 10882 n if first quality mensw( TT TT The 1 Crabtrcc Valley Mall, Raleigh 919782-0637 Franklin Street, Chapel Hill 919929 0343 Big & Tall, Crabtrcc Valley Mall, Raleigh 919782-0637 history. We wanted to take the best of new scholarship and put a book to gether." - Women 's America is an anthology of essays which rests on the assumption that "an accurate understanding of the past requires women's experiences to be analyzed with as much care as historians have normally devoted to the experience of men." Women's America contains essays ranging in time from 1600 to the pre-; sent. The essays show in a distinct history of American women the inter action of four elements:- biology, economics, politics and ideology. Mathews' essay "The New Feminism,'' deals with these categories in the present times. Her essay is con cerned with how "greater reproductive control and longevity, increasing numbers of wage-earning women within the labor force, and participation in various political efforts to obtain research From page 1 does pot hold up," he said. Child safety in automobiles is a concern of the Highway Safety Research Center. On July 1 , a state law took effect requiring that all children , under age two who are traveling with their parent be in approved child-passenger restraint systems. Center staff associate John Lacey said that preliminary results from their crash-safety tests indicate that the law would prove ef fective in reducing the number of child fatalities.. HSRC is also evaluating the effect of alcohol safety programs on future arrests. The programs are attended by many per sons charged with driving while intoxi catedunder the influence.
