Sister Elizabeth McAlister, a member
of the "Harrisburg Seven," will be gues
at an informal coffee at 3 p.m. Sunday, at
the Wesley Foundation.
Members of the University community
and Chapel Hill are encouraged to attend.
Sister McAlister was indicted two years
ago with the Rev. Phillip Berrigan in the
alleged conspiracy to kidnap Presidential
adviser Henry Kissinger and to blow up
the heating systems of federal buildings in
Washington.
She was later convicted with Berrigan
for violation of federal statutes on
"exchange of written communications"
while Berrigan was a prisoner at
Lewisburg Penitentiary.
Their two-year sentence is now under
appeal.

Thursday's rain didn't seem to do any good for anyone.

ERA hearing jam the galleries
United Press International
RALEIGH-Hundreds of women of all
ages packed the-State Legislative Building
Thursday for round two in the battle over
ratification of the Equal Rights
Amendment (ERA).
The advocates outnumbered the
opponents by about three-to-one as they
filled both a 500-seat auditorium and
galleries of the House and Senate
chambers for the second, and possibly
last, public hearing.
The opponents paraded seven women
to the microphone, including Phyllis
Schlafly, a conservative republican from
Alton, 111., who initiated the national
movement against the amendment.
The advocates sent 10 persons to the
microphone.
Schlafly set the tone for most of the
opponents when she argued that the
rights women wish to attain are
guaranteed already under civil rights and
equal employment laws.
But some of the rights women now
enjoy by virtue of their sex would be lost
if the ERA is ratified, said Schlafly.
Some of the areas where women would
suffer most, she said, would be in
susceptibility to the draft, lower Social
Security benefits, family support
responsibilities and loss of privacy in such
places as public restrooms and
dormitories.
In addition, she said, "The ERA will
Program for minorities
Want to go to law school?
Any minority student in North
Carolina interested inA studying law is
invited to an informational program,
sponsored by the UNC Student' Bar'
Association (SBA) Saturday at the UNC
Law School.
The practical aspects of gaining
admittance to law school will be
discussed, including the Law School
Admission Test (LSAT), helpful
undergraduate curricula, and special
scholarship programs.
It is an informational program,
according to Robin Britt, chairman of
SBA's recruitment committee, and not
directed specifically toward recruitment
for the UNC Law School.
Representatives from - the admissions
boards of the law; schools at UNC; Duke,
North Carolina Central University and
Wake Forest .will talk with interested
students.
Another goal of the conference will be
to encourage the organization of Pre-Law
clubs on the campuses of the
participating schools.
The clubs should increase minority
students' awareness of opportunities in
law, Britt said.
Registration time is 9 a.m. However,"
UNC students should register by
8:30 a.m. to prevent the possible pile-up.

transfer every issue involving women to a
domestic issue to be resolved by the
federal courts."
An advocate of the ERA, Meyressa
Schoonmaker of Winston-Salem argued
later, "I get the feeling that they (the
opponents) think the Equal Rights
Amendment will replace the
Constitution."
Contrary to the opponents' position,
said Schoonmaker, an attorney, the ERA
"will not nullify all laws that distinguish
on a basis of sex. But it will force a
review of these laws by the state
legislatures."
She said the value of the ERA will be
to erase the "special rights" laws that
have evolved over the years ostensible for
the benefit of women laws that actually
discriminate against both women and
men.
Bills have been introduced in both
Vhouses of the General Assembly To' ratify !
the amendment. In addition, a bill has
been introduced in the House to put the
question to a straw vote by having a
non-binding referendum.
Advocates of the ERA see the
referendum bill as a stall tactic to prevent
the state from becoming one of the
necessary 36 needed for ratification.
So far, 24 states have ratified the
amendment and eight have voted against
ratification of the measure which is a
one-sentence declaration that there be no
discrimination on the basis of sex.

Dollar takes market beating
The ailing US. dollar came under severe attack in the world's money markets
Thursday, forcing West Germany to buy a record $1.7 billion to avert the collapse of
the official exchange rate.
Japan also intervened with emergency purchases of $110 million to keep the dollar's
exchange rate at the agreed level of 301.10 yen. The Dutch Central Bank bought
dollars, but the US. currency received no government support and fell lower in
Brussels, Paris and Zurich. The dollar price of gold bullion inched steadily higher
almost everywhere - 14 cents in Frankfurt, 10 cents in London, 16 cents in Paris.
POW release deadline nears
The four warring parties in South Vietnam are hoping to meet a Monday deadline
for release of the f irst prisoners of war, but there still is no agreement on the date or
places of exchange, informed sources in Saigon said Thursday.
Sources close to the Joint Military Commission, composed of representatives of
North and South Vietnam, the United States and the Viet Cong, said the JMC still has
taken no action on setting up the prisoner exchange.
"Everyone is aware that this has to be done with 15 days after the cease-fire," the
source said. Sunday is the 15th day.
Plane crashes into building
Asbestos-ciad rescue workers pulled bodies from a big apartment house flattened in
Alameda, Calif., when a crippled Navy jet fighter plunged through it
Using two huge cranes and a bulldozer, the grimy crews recovered seven bodies,
including those of three children, and officials estimated as many as 20 to 25 more
remained in the rubble, including that of the pilot
The Tahoe Apartments, which had 37 residents, collapsed in flames less that two
minutes after a blazing A7 Corsair II jet crashed into its roof and plowed through four

Gasoline shortages predicted
The heating oil shortage that has crippled much of New England and the Middle
West this winter could be followed by tight supplies of gasoline in the summer months,
oil executives warned Thursday.
Vice presidents of two major oil producers told a government hearing in Washington
that the industry had put so much of its refining ef effort into meeting die cold
weather demand for heating oil that production of gasoline had fallen behind schedule.
"It's going to be tough," said Terrence B. Redmond, vice president of Amoco Oil
Co. "We will wnter the summer season with 2-3 million barrels of gasoline less than
usual."
