Award panel kicks off work
BY JACKI SPIES
STAFF WRITER
Eight of the University’s high
profile women convened Wednesday
to start discussions about the best
ways to honor women and their
contributions to UNC.
The meeting of the Women’s
Award Committee marked an ini
tial step toward patching things up
after the retirement of the Cornelia
Phillips Spencer Bell Award.
After more than a year of contro
versy regarding Bell’s association
with white supremacy, Chancellor
James Moeser retired the campus's
most prestigious award for women
in December. It was Moeser who
created the award committee and
charged it with assessing UNC’s
need for a women’s award.
‘We’re here because of the removal
of the Bell Award, and the question
is, ‘Should there be another award
like that for women who serve the
University?” said Jane Brown, chair
woman of the committee and former
Bell Award recipient.
If committee members decide
that such a distinction is neces
Leader lambasts feminism in talk
Conservative takes on women s rights
BY KATIE HOFFMANN
STAFF WRITER
The classic women’s rights
movement has made great strides,
but that change isn’t necessarily
for the better, a conservative leader
said in a speech at the University
on Wednesday evening.
“Feminism is destructive,” said
Phyllis Schlafly. “It’s destructive of
marriage. It’s destructive of happi
ness. It’s destructive of your whole
life.”
Schlafly catapulted into the
national spotlight in 1964 when her
conservative book, “A Choice Not an
Echo,” sold 3 million copies.
She since has served as a leader
of the pro-family movement and
testified before more than 50 con
gressional and state legislative com
mittees on constitutional, national
defense and family issues.
Schlafly said feminists blame
government for their problems and
convince women they are victims

sary, they will lead efforts to create
an award and define the criteria for
receiving it.
During its meeting Wednesday,
the group reviewed other awards
and discussed its plan of attack for
future meetings.
The group looked at the Women’s
Advocacy Award, an award issued by
the Carolina Women’s Center limited
to female faculty, staff or students.
The committee also examined a draft
of the UNC Intellectual Life Award,
granted to faculty who create posi
tive change in the community.
At the suggestion of Virginia
Carson, director of the Campus Y,
members also considered starting a
ceremony to bring together recipi
ents of such awards.
“I think it would build commu
nity, raise the profile of women’s
awards, bring more attention to
the awards we have and fill in any
gaps,” Carson said.
Most committee members
expressed enthusiasm for Carson’s
idea. Some members, however, had
qualms about the consequences
such a reception might have.
of society.
“(Feminists) claim liberation from
men but then look to the govern
ment as a replacement,” she said.
Schlafly also said feminists
believe tax dollars should provide
programs such as subsidized day
care and maternity leave.
“The American people don’t want
to pay for baby-sitters for other peo
ple’s children,” she said. “Feminism
has changed attitudes of women and
some men —but not babies. They
don’t want to see other people’s faces
at a day care every day.”
Schlafly said that she supports
women who go into the work force
but that they should not expect
help from the government. She said
that when her father could not find
a job during the Great Depression,
her mother had to go to work.
“People have to face life’s chal
lenges,” Schlafly said. “But we didn’t
look to the government. We didn’t
get any handouts from them.”

“I think there’s a lot of interest in how
to recognize and acknowledge women’s
contributions on campus.”
JANE BROWN, chairwoman, women's award committee
“The one fear I have is that if
we condense all women’s awards
into one period, will that make
it seem like there’s less reason to
give women’s awards?” said Carol
TVesolini, associate provost for aca
demic initiatives.
Members expressed interest in
gathering more information about
honors for those who improve
women’s lives before their next
meeting, scheduled for March 23.
“We want to know what else is
out there so we’re not duplicating
efforts,” Brown said. “It maybe that
we want to augment something.”
Members created a list of points
of interest about the current awards.
The list includes how often an award
is given, who sponsors it, the ben

Conservative
leader Phyllis
Schlafly
said women's
rights are hurt
by the actions
feminists take.
She said feminists also have
turned to government for increased
wages. Feminists have said that a
woman makes 76 cents to a man’s
dollar, but Schlafly said this statis
tic is misleading because it does
not compare similar jobs.
“We do not want wage controls
in this country,” she said. “We had
it here once, and the American
people did not like it.
“Feminism is not compatible
with the notion of equality. What
they really want is the jobs they
would not get on merit.”
Schlafly went on to criticize femi
nists’ efforts to increasingly integrate
women into the military. She said
she believes it would lower physical

criteria. They also are interested in
learning about an award’s purpose,
public receptions that coincide with
an award and how many recipients
each award has.
Committee members said that
by the end of the semester, they
hope to determine if another
award is needed —and if so, to
create a description of such an
honor. Until then, members said
they remain optimistic about the
committee’s success.
“I think there’s a lot of interest in
howto recognize and acknowledge
women’s contributions on campus,”
Brown said. “There are great people
committed to getting something
done quickly on the committee.”

women are weaker than men.
“When you have coed training, a
man cannot be all that he can be,”
she said. “He can only be all that a
woman can be.”
UNC’s Conservative Women’s
Voice, an organization started earlier
this year, sponsored the speech.
“In the face of turmoil and
opposition, it’s nice to hear and see
things come together,” said sopho
more Kat Rodgers, president and
founder of the group. “It invigo
rates me. It keeps me trucking and
focusing on my core beliefs.”
