Women in communications must work
harder than their male counterparts to be
considered equal, according to five

Addressing a capacity crowd' in
Memorial Hall Friday night,
anthropologist Margaret Mead warned
that the problems of environmental
pollution and man's overuse of
non-renewable resources may very well
determine the outcome of life on earth
for many years to come.
Mead, president of the Scientists'
Institute for Public Information, on
whose behalf she was speaking, has
obtained much of her fame from early
anthropological studies conducted in
Samoa and New Guinea over 40 years
ago.

Students wishing to nominate
professors for the Distinguished Teaching
Awards may obtain ballots at Chase
Cafeteria, the Union, and the
Undergraduate Library.
If a student wishes to make a
nomination and cannot obtain a ballot he
should contact the Student Affairs Office
and additional ballots will be made
available.
There will be 500 ballots at Chase, 250
in the Union, and 250 at the
Undergraduate library.
James R. Leutze, Chairman of the
committee, stated "it would be extremely
helpful if students submitting
nominations would comment on the
professor's merit on the ballot."
Leutze said, "The committee wants to
get as many nominations as possible
because the award means a lot to the
professors who are nominated."
Leutze feels that "this is an
opportunity for the students to have
some voice in expressing their opinions of
their professors."
Ballots have already been sent to
members of the faculty, members of
campus honorary societies, and 2,000
randomly selected students.

According to Mamie Dunn; women in
newspaper work can counter
discrimination try being human, not
female. "Be assertive with the editor,"
she said. "If he does something to your
story that you think was unnecessary, tell
him."
Dunn urged women to ignore
paternalistic attitudes and concentrate on
proving their capability for the job.
Kathy McPherson, the Herald's
In recent years, she has emerged as one
of the nation's foremost
environmentalists, speaking on numerous
environmental topics and attending the
recent U.N. Conference on the Human
Environment.
Referring to a recent photograph of
the earth taken by Apollo astronauts
from the surface of the moon, Mead said,
"That picture of the earth has permitted
man to look in from outside . . . and
realize how finite the earth is. This was
one of the most important events of the
past 25 years. It spawned the
environmental movement. The only
evidence of man that they could see
coming back from the moon was the
smudge of the polluting power plants of
the Southeast."
Joe Loveland, a student member of
the committee, said "the 2,000 students
randomly chosen by computer would give"
a good cross-section of the student
body."
Leutze stated, 'The ballots sent to
members of campus organizations such as
The Order of the Old Well will recr no
special consideration in the non ng
process."
The names submitted by these groups
will be used only if needed to break a tie.
A percentage system will be used in
order to insure the fairness of the
nominating process.
Professors who teach large classes will
have, no great advantage over those who
come in contact with a limited number of
students.
The committee will submit the names
of 16 professors to Chancellor Taylor
who will make the final decision on
award winners.
Students who receive ballots by mail
are urged to submit nominations as well
as the rest of the student body.
The nominations must be received by
the Student Affairs Office by Friday.

women's editor, noted that the women's
section of the paper is no longer society
oriented. "Women's pages are 'people
pages now," she said. "Men are interested
in food, furniture, fashion and health as
much as women," she added.
Katie Hooks, the first female news
reporter at WKIX, said that radio poses
several different challenges for women.
"You must learn to work your own
equipment and develop a voice that
sounds good over the radio," she said.
"Also, men tend to take you more
seriously if you're aggressive."

Incorporating the idea of man's innate
aggressiveness into an environmental
framework, Mead declared that
nationalism and territoriality must
subside in favor of an improved
. conservation ethic.
"What we have now is a threat to this
whole planet, to every nation, every
family and every religion. There is no
poss;bility of erecting frontiers against
this problem," Mead said.
She sint'd out the areas of nuclear
power and detergents and artificial
chemical substances as examples of ways
in which man has overtaxed the
ecosystem in both the past and present.
Most important, according to Mead,
are the need to create a method by which
man's attention to environmental
destruction may be held at a high level
and the need to forego war as a means of
solving international problems. "The
whole world is facing a threat of
maximum proportions and it can't be
solved by war. Unless we think the world
we're saving is worthy of saving, we
probably won't do anything."

"In television, you have to overcome
the myth that women were not made for
reporting facts but just gossip," said
WRAL reporter Charlotte Short.
The attitude that women are too
emotional to report news is changing and
people are beginning to see that a woman
can present an authoritative image on TV,
she added.
According to Lee Wilder, women
entering advertising should expect a fast
pace and constant pressure from their
clients. "A tough skin is essential in this
profession," she said.
The panel members agreed their jobs
required constant shuffling between
professional and private lives. "You must
either have an understanding spouse or do
it alone.," said Charlotte Short.
"Sometimes it takes all your time just to
do an adequate job."
Noting that the job market in the state
is extremely tight, the women urged
students to get experience from their
campus paper or radio station.
The discussion was sponsored by the
Triangle Chapter of Women in
Communications, Inc. Any student
interested in joining a campus chapter
should contact Margaret Balcom or
Margaret Bobo at the UNC News Bureau,
or Diane Brandon in the RTVMP
Department.

"Often it takes longer to get a parking
place than to get to our destination," said
Chapel Hill Mayor Howard Lee at a
public meeting on the bus referendum.
Speaking along with Alderman George
Coxhead, long-time opponent of the bus
system, and George Lathrop, chairman of
the Public Transit Commission, Lee
discussed the controversy emphasizing his
support for the bus system.
Lee listed some of the changes in
Chapel Hill since 1969 as main reasons
for the new bus system. Among those
mentioned were increased population,
more traffic and pollution-added land
areas.
"The trend has been set," Lee said,
'by Federal and municipal governments
in taking -'-over the railroad' and bus
systems. Mass transit must be seen in the
same vein as any other public service."
Lee said the system should aid the
elderly, people of Jow income and
housewives and also remove pressure to
buy a second car on those families
moving into the area.
Coxhead objected to the "adverse cost
benefit ratio" involved in the bus issue.
He questioned if the benefits of the
system would justify the high cost.
"The University created the
problems," Coxhead said, "and should
carry the ball. They should pay the cost."
Because of the route proposed,

buses every eight minutes on the campus

Coxhead called for more attention to
be given to the town's other needs, such
as sewage treatment, landfill, helping the
aged and salary increases for city
employees.
Lathrop noted that the proposed

success than the "ill-fated trial system" of
1971, which failed due to lack of funds.
Advantages to the system include: new
equipment, larger number of buses and
six day service until one a.m.
If Carrboro residents approve the
extension of the system into their area,
the additional expense for equipment and
personnel will probably be more than
offset by the added revenue, Lathrop
said.
