An Evening at the Profs', Part II" tentatively set
By JIM VOOk
Suit Writer
After deeming the first "An Evening at the Profs'," an
overwhelming success, members of the Carolina Union's
Special Projects Committee Thursday tentantively set
F cb. 5 as the date for "An Evening at the Profs, Part
U."
The event will be similar to the first "An Evening at
the Profs'," conducted Nov. 6, said Jon Reckford
chairman of the Carolina Union's Special Projects Com
mittee. The basic premise of the informal get togethers in pro
fessors' homes is to provide a setting for students and
faculty members to get to know each other outside the
classroom.
Reckford said there were two main goals behind the
project that committee members hoped to achieve.
"One goal is to set into work some mechanisms for
students and faculty to meet on a regular basis without
our planning," Reckford said. "The other goal would
be to get as many people as we can thinking about this
issue, from both the student and the faculty standpoint."
At the November get-together, groups of about 15
students met at professors' homes and discussed
numerous campus issues, Reckford said. In the February
evening, there will be a greater variety of topics on a
wider range of issues, he said.
"The first one was mainly on faculty-student inter
action," Reckford said. "The second one will probably
have a number of topics, more flexibility, but they will
still be informal and a chance to meet people."
Interested students will have an opportunity to sign up
the week before the evening. Committee members are
planning to contact department chairmen and professors
who participated last time in the next couple of weeks,
Reckford said.
About 50 suggestions for student-faculty events came
out of the first evening; "some more serious than
others," Reckford said.
The suggestion which generated the most interest
among committee members was a weekend retreat
sometime next semester for about 25-35 students and
20-30 professors, he said.
"The vision that I have is to take a two-day retreat
with plenty of organized and unorganized activities, and
to bring an outsider to facilitate it," Reckford said.
Reckford said there was a similar retreat about 15
years ago, and it was very well received and praised by
those who participated.
The committee decided that an application process
would be necessary in choosing those who could par
ticipate. The committee said it would be seeking a
diverse group of students and faculty.
Details will be established when the committee meets
after Christmas vacation, Reckford said.

CP&L would pay
CGC calls for plan in case of nuclear power plant accident
By MARK STINNEFORD
Staff Writer
The Campus Governing Council Wed
nesday passed a resolution calling on
town and University officials to develop
plans to deal with the possibility of an ac
cident at a nuclear power plant being
built 18 miles from Chapel Hill.
The CGC resolution called upon the
Carolina Power and Light Company to
pay the costs of developing the emergency
plans and buying monitoring equipment.
CP&L is building the Shearon Harris
nuclear plant in Wake County.
CGC member Jack Mohr (District 23)
said radioactive gas released during a
plant accident could reach Chapel Hill
within three hours if a slight wind was
blowing at the time.
CGC Student Affairs Committee
Chairman Ron Everett (District 13) said
the CGC was not making a statement for
or against nuclear power but was only ex
pressing a normal concern for safety.
"It's not a political statement,"
Everett said. "It's advocating extra safe
ty. I don't see how anyone can object."
Everett said that he was unsure what
effect the resolution would have but that
failing to uct can Jo nothing to make the
situation safer.
The CGC is expected to send copies of
the resolution to CP&L, the Nuclear
Regulatory Commission, the N.C. Utili
ties Commission and state and local
government officials.
In other action, the CGC passed a reso
lution calling upon the University to in
vestigate the possibility of installing cable
television in campus residence halls. CGC
member John Wilson (District 18) said
nearly 1,200 dormitory residents had
signed a petition stating that they
would be willing to pay a small fee to re
ceive cable. Wilson is also co-chairman of
UNC Student Television, a group seeking

In February, students will vote on a
proposal to raise the Student Activities
Fee by 50 cents per student per semester
for one academic year to support STV.
The STV Committee is seeking $35,000
to buy videotape recorders, cameras and
editing equipment. If approved, the one
year student fee hike would raise $20,000.
STV would seek the additional $15,000
through donations from corporations
and other sources.
The Student Activities Fee is currently
$15.25 per semester.

Mpi9. Shear" Delphi
Program puts women in history
through courses, new research
By LAUREN BROWN
Staff Writer
Imagine finding an old family
photograph in the attic that distinctly
portrays the male members in the fore
ground, while the female members are
merely blurred figures in the back
ground. Until recently, most of history had
been recorded much like this old
photograph primarily from men's
perspectives, dealing with men's ac
complishments and leaving women as
a blur in the background, Jane D.
Mathews wrote in her book, Women 's
America.
Mathews, director of the Women's
Studies program at UNC, said an im
portant goal of the program was to in
corporate women into history, which
had in the past been oriented around
the male experience.
Two approaches to integrating
women into history and literature are
offering separate courses specifically
in women's studies and mainstream
ing, which involves incorporating new
research findings about women into
the introductory level courses of all
areas, Mathews said.
The UNC Women's Studies pro
gram began in 1976 as a result of the
explosion in research about women
over the last 15 years. It is closely
related to the Duke-UNC Women's
Studies Research Center, which is in
volved in curriculum reform in the
two Carolinas and Virginia, she said.
UNC senior Mary Linker, a
women's studies major who plans a
career in business or politics, said
"Knowing where women have been
will make it easier to know how to get
where we want to be."
"I think the major isn't the impor
tant part, but the classes I would
have taken the classes anyway,"
Linker said.
The basic objectives of the women's
studies course are to examine the place
of women in history and society in
areas such as gender-related roles,
law, public policy, religion, visual
arts, literature and sexuality.
"Women make up the majority in
most of the classes, but I do think it is
important for men to take them,"
Mathews said.
Although they are titled women's
courses, men are included because
women's history is a comparison to
men's experiences, Mathews said.
Problems that related to one sex in
variably influence the other in some
way. For example, the most difficult
problem for women today is balancing
career life with family life, Mathews
said.
"I don't think that's just a problem
for women," she continued. "Men
married to those women have to deal
with this also."
In the work force, a woman still
earns only 59 cents for every dollar
that a man makes; 80 percent of work
ing women are in low paying jobs, she
said. "We; really have a sex-segregated
work force."
Women are making progress but
there are still many obstacles in the
way of female advancement, Mathews
said. With more courses in women's
studies, perhaps these obstacles can be
overcome in the near future.
Next spring, in addition to the usual
courses, Women's Studies will offer
four cross-listed courses: Soc 24
(WMST 24) Sex & Gender in Society;
Phil 46 (WMST 46) Philosophical
Issues in Feminism; Afri 61 (WMST
60) African Women; Hist 104 (WMST
194) Women and Public Policy.
The Women's Studies program will
also sponsor a series of speakers next
semester. Professor Elaine Showalter,
author of Women in Literature, will
speak in February, and a symposium,
"Women Working for Social Change:
The Legacy of Gertrude Weil," will be
held in March. Weil led the fight in
North Carolina for women's suffrage
in the 1920s.
