CampusLife By Nancy Davis Page twofThe Carolina Journal!February 14, 1978\ AAUP Opposes Security’s System Of Fines In the midst of Women’s Week at UNCC, it seems only appropriate that we discuss a very important right of every woman...the right to say “no.” That one word can quiet hundreds, anger thousands and stun multitudes. But for some reason, there are some guys who just can’t take “no” for an answer. There’s no use in attempting to list the variations of lines that a girl will hear when being propositioned. She’ll hear everything from “Let me make you happy,” to the direct approach of “Do you wanta go to bed?” And with the usual offers come the usual replies, “My mother told me iiever to get naked with anybody I didn’t love” or “Not now. Let’s wait until we’ve had time to learn each other’s name.” However, this is the age of liberation and a woman has just as much right to come up with a creative reply as a man has to come up with a creative proposition. So, some really liberated women did some brainstorming and came up with a list of alternative replies. Male: "But, baby...we’re meant for each other.” Female: “Only since I had my sex change operation.” Male: “How do we know we're right for each other unless we try?” Female: “What do you mean ‘try’? If you’re not past the experimental stage, I don’t want to mess with you.” Male: “How can you go this far and not go all the way?” Female: “I just remembered our horoscope signs don’t agree.” Male: “I promise it’ll be so good.” Female: “Yeah, that’s what they all said until the V.D. symptoms showed up.” Male: “Don’t worry. I’ll use protection.” Female: “Yeah, well it better be strong, because I’m getting ready to kick you.” Male: “I know girls who’d fight over me.” Female: “Really? Is that what happened to your face?” Male: “Everybody’s doing it now. What’s there to be hung up about?” Female: “Have you looked in a mirror recently?” Now all of these lines may be a little too liberated for some women. So remember that just as a woman has the right to say “no” (and get away with it), she also has that undeniable right to change her mind. By Brad Rich Two weeks ago, the Carolina Journal ran an article concerning the University’s new practice of taking faculty and staff members’ unpaid traffic tickets out of their paychecks. Jerry Hudson, Mr. of Public Safety , was interviewed, and said, in general, that the new practice arose from a joint faculty, staff and student commission, and that the action was legal. Dr. Robert Mundt of UNCC’s political science department, who is president of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP), said his organization opposed the idea from the beginning. He said, “We had members who felt the way in which the issue was handled was not correct. Mainly we were just raising the question of whether or not due process was given. Mundt said the issue was decided with “little or no consultation,” and that while there were students, faculty members and staff members on the committee, they were not representing anyone in particular and had no reason to report the committee’s activities to anyone. “This is not to criticize the committee,” Mundt said. “They weren’t Dr. Robert Mundt of the Political Science Department, President of the UNCC AAUP (photo by Michael Anderson) told to represent anyone. We just felt that each member of the committee should have been representing someone.” The political science department did have a member on the committee, but Mundt stressed that the person was not officially representing the department. “And what about other colleges and departments who were not represented at all?” he added. Mundt said the AAUP felt there was some doubt as to the seriousness of the problem itself. “Unless there are some individual faculty or staff members who just completely ignoi them (traffic fines) and v haven’t heard of such case this action seems a litt drastic. There should \ some opportunity to do th (pay the ticket voluntarily...we just feel tl notice came out in prett much an authoritark manner.” Don II At gTuST Thi^iK kj\c School The Dorm O qOA Time To Be HomeVnth M orc\».
