Ford Runge was elected student body president
Wednesday by a wide margin over Blue Sky party
candidate Pitt Dickey.
Runge, advocate of a student consumer action
union, outpolled Dickey in all but five polling
places.
Except for Craige, Runge faired worst in those
polling places which contained large numbers of
graduate and off-campus students.
The final results of the election, as certified by
the Elections Board, are as follows:
Ford Runge 2,694 votes 58.15
Pitt Dickey 1 ,906 votes 41.1 4
Void ballots 33 votes .71
Total " 4,633 votes
Voting was light as has been usual for recent
campus-wide elections, with somewhat under 25
per cent of the student body going to the polls. In
the Feb. 6 general election, 5,412 students, or
slightly more than 25 per cent of those eligible,
voted.
Runge did not lose a single on-campus
dormitory in the election, building up his almost
800-vote margin with 60 per cent plus showings in
Granville, Parker, Connor, Ruffin, Morrison,
Craige and James. He won by a 5-1 margin in
Mclver, a 6-1 margin in Cobb, a 7-1 margin in
Joyner and an 1 1-1 margin in Spencer, all women's
dormitories.
Runge took the Naval Armory, Ehringhaus,
Public Health, Everett and Peabody polling places
with majorities of between 50 per cent and 60 per
cent.
Dickey won by solid margins in the Y-Court,
Union, and Health Sciences polling places, and
outpolled Runge by three votes in Odum-Victory
Village. In Dickey's stronghold, the Law School,
he won over Runge with just over 70 per cent of
the vote.
In the Feb. 6 election. Dickey had outpolled
Runge in all but six polling places. Runge's gains
since last election were most apparent on South
Campus in Granville, in North Campus women's
dorms and in Everett.
Graduate students, as usual, voted in
considerably lighter numbers than did the student
body as a whole. Of the 4,633 ballots cast, 871
were cast by grad students.
The election was largely free of voting
irregularities, with the discrepancy between the
number of ballots and the number of names on
sign-up sheets well under I per cent for the second
straight campus-wide election.
Elections Board Chairman Leo Gordon, who has
had to prepare three major elections and numerous
runoffs this semester, let it be known with a sigh
of relief that this would be his last election.
"Thank God, it's all over, he said.
In recognition of the work done by the
Elections Board, Dickey previously had offered to
give a party for them win or lose.
Neither Runge nor Dickey, nor even Sage for
that matter, could be contacted for comment
Wednesday night. Dickey was at a birthday party
(not his own), and Runge was presumably
celebrating his victory over the Blue Sky Party.

RALEIGH (UPI) - The North Carolina
Senate defeated the Equal Rights
Amendment 23-27 in a roll call vote
Wednesday after debating the issue for
more than two hours.
The door was ' left open for
reconsideration of the vote Thursday, due
to an apparent mix-up in parliamentary
procedure on the part of the opponents.
North Carolina apparently became the
1 0th state to defeat the ERA
Amendment in one or both legislative
houses. Thirteen states are needed to kill
it and 38 to ratify it. So far 28 have
ratified it.
The final -.outccme. revealed itselfvas
four senators who had either indicated .
neutrality or support in the past said they
would be voting against ratification. They
included Sens. Dallas Alford, D-Nash,
Bob L. Barker, D-Wake, Michael P.
Mullins, R-Mecklenburg, and the Senate
Speaker pro tempore, Gordon Allen,
D-Person.
Only four of the Senate's Republicans
voted for the amendment despite its
being endorsed by Republican Gov. Jim
Holshouser.
Horton, the Republican caucus leader,
said the governor had not tried to
influence the GOP delegation on the
matter. ...
. Opponents argued that women would
be. subject to Uhe draft, that rights of
privacy between the sexes in public places
would be abolished and that the
amendment would lead to a usurpation of
states' rights by the U.S. Supreme Court.
The opponents had prepared an Equal
Rights Amendment of their own to the
State Constitution, but did not introduce
it. They may do it on Thursday.
Mullins stated that he was changing his
vote to 'no' after learning that an
.amendment to the State Constitution
could accomplish equal rights for men
and women without the same after
effects of an amendment to the U.S..
Constitution.

SALT
II complicated

Staff Writer
A crowd of several hundred gathered in
Memorial Hall Wednesday night to hear
Sen. Henry "Scoop" Jackson discuss the
upcoming SALT II talks with Russia.
Jackson was concerned mainly with
the unequal proportions of strategic arms
which the United States has agreed to
under the five-year interim agreement.
Under the agreement, the Soviet Union
can increase the number of its land-based
I.C.B.M.'s from 1,050 to 1,618, and the
number of Polaris-type submarines to 62,
while the U.S. has no intentions of
increasing its stock of 1,054 I.C.B.M.'s
and 41 Polaris submarines.
"Morever," Jackson pointed out, "the
exceptionally large size of some of the
Soviet missiles provides them with a
four-to-one advantage in overall throw
weight or size. These are the unequal
ratios we have agreed to accept for the
next five years."
Jackson spoke about other advantages
the Soviets have over the United States in
the area of strategic arms. "We have no
sure way of knowing the general direction
of Soviet military programs. . .In the
United States, on the other hand,
strategic policy has been a matter of
public give and take.
The Washington senator cited the
openness of the American system as an
additional problem the U.S. government
must deal with.
"An American president not only
negotiates with the diplomatic adversary,
he also must negotiate with the Congress,
the press, the scientists, the universities,
or whatever."
In going into the SALT II talks.
Jackson warned, "We must keep some
lessons of SALT I clearly before us. Much j
of the original euphoria has given way to
more sober assessments and this is all to
the good. 1 anticipate that SALT U will
be complicated and difficult."
Jackson's speech was sponsored by the
Carolina Forum and the Curriculum in
War, Peace, and Defense.

l the bill to ratify the ERA and Rep. Jack
Rhyne, D-Gaston, led the forces against
' ratification. Deane began the debate by
perfunctorily reading sections of a
' congressional subcommittee report on the
amendment which overwhelmingly passed
both houses of Congress last year.
The report verified that women would
be subject to the draft, but it said states
would still have the authority to segregate
; the sexes in such places as public
j rest rooms.
Rhyne was more emotional in his
argument of the consequences ratification
$ . would have on womanhood. "When that
- little black-eyed, dark-skinned girl crawls
up in my lap and says 'Daddy I need
something,"' Rhyne said of his daughter,
"I'd move a mountain to get it. I couldn't
stand to tell her that she would have to
face the draft and change her life
according to the consequences of the
amendment," he said.
Sen. A. B. Coleman Jr., D-Orange, said
we have heard remarks today about
womanhood being placed on a pedestal.
"I invite you to go to the nearest
drugstore, to the nearest adult bookstore,
to the nearest topless dance place," he
said.
"I would say to you we're putting
women in a ditch." Coleman continued.
"The proponents say let's enoble
womanhood."

Nuclear jhcility defended
CP&L answers ECOS attacks on Wake plan
(Staff photo by Cliff Kolovson)
Sen. Henry 'Scoop9 Jackson
by Amy O'Neal
Staff Writer
.Carolina Power and Light Company
(CP&L) issued a response Monday to the
two-week-old ECOS report on the
planned construction of a nuclear power
generating station in Wake County near
Bonsai, N.C.
The ECOS report raised 1 0 specific
objections to nuclear power plant
construction, including unresolved
questions . about radioactive waste
disposal and inadequate testing of
Emergency Core Cooling Systems.
ECOS alternatives to plant
construction were a national moratorium
on construction and operation of nuclear
power plants until all problems with
environment and safety are resolved, a
national energy policy to conserve scarce
supplies of energy and the feasibility of
cutting off large industrial users of power
during peak demand periods.
Stan Hughinim, communications
manager for CP&L, issued the reply
which reads, "CP&L certainly believes
that natural resources should be used
wisely. It is for this reason that CP&L has
been using its customer communication
during the last two years to tell people
how they can use their electric service
more effectively and thereby help
conserve energy.
"We believe the decision to meet the
energy needs of our customers by
installing the proposed nuclear plant is
consistent with a policy of prudent use of
natural resources and conservation of
fossil fuel.
"There is no question as to the public
need for electrical energy that would be
supplied by the plant. This was
considered and determined in a public
hearing before the North Carolina
Utilities Commission," Hughinim said.
CP&L has not yet received the
necessary construction permit from the
Atomic Energy Commission. Before this
permit is issued, a public hearing will be
held by the Atomic Safety and Licensing
Board to hear all objections and answer
any questions.
The board is composed of 25
attorneys, scientists and educators who
will select from among themselves a
three-member jury to conduct the
hearing. CP&L, all officially recognized
intervenors and staff representatives of
the Atomic Energy Commission will
testify at the hearing.

In a sophomore slump? Unsure of what to
major in? In a senior slump? Need some career
plans?
Try the UNC Guidance and Testing Center,
under the direction of Dr. James W. Little, for
help in answering your questions.
Although the center has recently moved from
Peabody to Nash Hall (located just across from the
Carolina-Inn parking lot and the Newman Center)
on the edge of campus, students continue to take
advantage of its services.
"Students are dropping in fairly well," said
Little. He encourages students to acquaint
themselves with the new location.
An Open House has been scheduled for 2 to 5
rn i q

s
moves to Nash Ma
p.m. Friday to acquaint students with the new
location. The center is "inviting students and
faculty to see the new location, talk with the staff
and offer students the opportunity to make
appointments," Little said.
The center has been able to utilize the space in
Nash Hall to its advantage in helping students with
career planning. Numerous services are available
for this purpose.
A student seeking help is first asked to discuss
his background and career plans with a counselor.
During this interview, testing and counseling
procedures, the two main methods of aiding
students, are explained to him.
At the end of this interview, the student and
counselor will decide what type of tests, if any,
would most benefit the student.
Counseling services are conducted on , a
one-to-one basis. Counselors help the student
explore all the possibilities of his vocational
interests and numerous alternatives.
Testing is another method the center uses to
help the student decide on a career. Tests are a
"tool of the trade," said Mrs. June Allcott, a
counselor in the program. "They are a part of the
decision-making process," and help the student to
decide on the type of career he wants.
Test results offer a variety of possible career
choices to the student.
A well-equipped Occupational Information
Library can be extensively used in obatining
further information about the nature of the work,
employment outlook, rates of pay and other facts.
The Guidance and Testing Center can be of
particular value in helping students who don't
know what they want or don't know where to find
it. These students are shown how their system can
work for them.
A complete collection of catalogues provides
names and addresses, as well as other information,
on various schools throughout the country thai
specialize in the career with which the student is
concerned.
A reading program in Phillips Hall Annex is
sponsored by the center and helps students to read
and study more effectively.
Applications for Law and Med School tests. Ilu
Graduate Record Exam and other tests are also
handled by the center. Information bulletins,
giving students valuable tips on applying lo law
schools, have been specially prepared.
