Women are showing up in
greater numbers in areas other
than nursing, secretarial positions
and service area jobs than in the
past. This fact is even more
important when compared to
other countries.
Females are now doctors,
lawyers and even politicians, with
women holding top positions in
the government.
“Will women make a differ
ence?” asked Jennifer Horan, lec
turer in the political science
department at UNCW. “That’s an
interesting question.”

Stephanie Harris, a senior
nursing major at North Carolina
A&T, said, “Yes, I believe
women are already making a dif
ference in healthcare due to the
fact that they bring a caring
aspect to the field.” But Harris
does not put a distinction
between male and female job per
formance.
“It all depends on the person-
ahty of the doctor,” Harris said.
“Some are very caring, male and
female, but some lack the warmth
that will compel patients to return
to the doctors for further evalua
tion.”
While the growing female
presence in professional fields in
the United States is very inspir
ing, it is not an international
trend. There is a wide variation
of women's opportunities around
the globe.

The selection process for
UNCW’s new chancellor is
reaching the final stages.
A search committee was
formed and advertisements were
placed in “the Chronicle of
Higher Education”, “Black Issues
in Higher Education”, “Women in
Higher Education” and “Hispanic
Outlook”. Now that the search
committee has weeded through
the initial pool of applicants, the
final step - the interviewing
process — will begin.
The UNCW Chancellor Search
Committee has narrowed its
applicant pool from 112 appli
cants to 15. Of the 15 candidates,
10 are provosts or chancellors of
higher educational institutions.
Three of the semi-finalists are
women and two are African-
Americans.
“We are very pleased with the
applicant pool,” Sam Connally,
Assistant to the Chancellor and
Director of Human Resources,
said in a released statement.
“Both the representation of
women and minorities in the
semi-final pool is consistent with
their representation in the original
applicant pool, which were esti
mated to be 20 percent and 10
percent, respectively.”
“We have done extensive
review of the written materials.
We are now entering the inter
viewing phase,” said Larry
Dkistntion by Andy Bsder/^ Stahawk
Only 15 candidates left for
the chancellor position.
Dagenhart, chair of the search
committee.
The 15 candidates will go
through screening interviews in
late January and the top four to six
candidates will proceed to the in-
depth interviews. The search
committee will make its final rec
ommendations to Molly Broad,
president of the UNC system,
March 3, giving her three weeks to
nominate a candidate. The UNC
Board of Governors will appoint
Broad’s nominee as the new
Chancellor at its March 21 meet
ing.
“I think we will have many
candidates who are well qualified
and have ample expertise and
experience,” Dagenhart said.
“The real trick is finding the right
person to fit this job at this time.”
