A task force investigating discriminatory
credit practices against women by local
businesses was set up by the Chape! Hill
chapter of the National Organization for
Women (NOW) at its business meeting
Wednesday night, chapter president Ruth
Meyer said Thursday.
Approximately 10,000 women applicant
across the country are denied credit each
year solely on the basis of sex. Meyer said.
However, under the National Credit Act of
1975, discrimination against women
applying for credit will be illegal beginning
Oct. 28. ...
Several women charging businesses witn
discrimination have already called NOW co
founder Miriam Siifkin. But before an
official investigation of charges against any
business can be made, a letter of complaint
describing the manner in which credit was
denied must be sent to the chapter. As yet, no
callers have submitted formal complaints,
Siifkin said.

Calling the belief that America is a melting
pot unrealistic. Chapel Hill mayor Howard
N. Lee Wednesday helped kick off the first
Chapel Hill meeting of the American Issues
Forum, a nationwide bicentennial program.
The meetings topic' was "The Melting
Pot: Myth or Ideal?"
The series of nine monthly forum meetings
is sponsored by the Chapel Hill Bicentennial
Commission and the University of North
Carolina Bicentennial Committee.
Discussion leaders at Wednesday's
program included Lee, UNC Afro-American
Studies director Sonia Stone, sociology
professor Richard Cramer and playwright
Paul Green.
Lee said America has not been a melting
pot throughout its history. "On one hand,
there has been some melting, some crossing
of cultures. But to continue to live under the
belief that America is a melting pot is not
realistic."
Stone agreed with l ee adding, "it's clear
that there has been a very persistent effort of
ethnic groups in America to retain their own
identity."
The definition of a melting pot was
questioned by Cramer. "If we mean by the
term that people from other societies have
While the credit task force will not begin
full operation until next month, NOW is
currently conferring w ith its lawyers on three
discrimination suits filed against UNC.
The University was recently charged with
using discriminatory practices in setting
tuition rates. A specific example cited by
NOW is one in w hich an in-state student was
denied her residency status after she married
an out-of-state student. NOW received eight
similar complaints before legal action was
taken earlier in the year.
In another case still under investigation, a
University faculty member charged that,
because of her sex, she had been denied
promotion in her department over a period
of years. Such discrimination, if present, is a
violation of the U.S. Department of Labor's
wage and hour requirements, Meyer said.
The third case involves several University
employees who claim they were given
administrative and clerical duties, yet
received no matching salary or
administrative title. Shortly after this suit
was jointly filed with the Association of
Women Students, administrators upgraded
off forum
changed and are now more similar to those
in this society, then America is a melting pot.
Blacks in the United States are less different
,from whites in this country than they are
from blacks in Africa," he said.
Cramer said there are two types of cultural
blending. The first, true melting, is when all
groups contribute equally to form a new
society, he said.
The United States, however, has followed
a second pattern, labeled by Cramer, the
Anglo-conformity melting pot. All incoming
cultures must adapt to the pre-existing
society," Cramer said.
America's image as a melting pot was
defended by Green who said, "Out of the
melting pot has come a new type of
individual whose responsibilities in the
world are greater than those of other
peoples."
The importance of blacks in American
society has been ignored, he said. "If blacks
in Chapel Hill stopped working one day, the
University would stop functioning and
people would die in Memorial Hospital."
For the melting pot to come about, Lee
said, "Man should have the right to make
choices and the freedom to move.
He should not be forced to be part of a
melting pot. We ought to accept our
differences. Those differences are like
parts of a puzzle that fit together to form a
w hole picture."

University positions held by women, Meyer
said. .
NOWs legal counsel has proven beneficial
to women in the state, Meyer said, adding,
"NOW feels responsible for last year's
change in the Morehead Scholarship
qualifications."
The organization sent a lawyer to UNCs
Morehead Committee during the summer of
1974, lobbying the acceptance of women into
competition. Three weeks later, the
committee issued a statement changing its
policy allowing female nominees. However,
the Morehead Committee denied any
pressure from outside groups.
Meyer said NOWs most significant
project to date has been last year's textbook
task force, which looked for sexual bias in
texts used by Chapel Hill schools.
"We narrowed the lists of all textbooks in
the area to the best sets," Meyer said, "and
the very best books are not at all acceptable
to us."
In December 1974, NOW and Lollipop
Power members, led by Miriam Siifkin,
approached Superintendent of Schools
Robert C. Hanes with the textbook project.
Several months later, a county-wide
workshop for guidance counselors was also
held to alert them to the prejudices of
textbooks.
Meyer said she expects NOW to pressure
textbook publishers this year into printing
non-sex-oriented books.
Jenne named
town manager
Kurt J. Jenne was selected as Chapel H ill's
new town manager by a unanimous vote of
the Board of Aldermen, Wednesday.
Jenne, 31, has served as interim town
manager since the resignation of former
Town Manager Chet Kendzior six weeks
ago.
Alderman Sid Rancer said Jenne is the
best man for the post because of the "bad
time that Chapel Hill government is having
at the moment.
"He knows all of our problems since he
has been working with the town for the past
two years," Rancer said. "Five aldermen
seats will be up for election this fall. The
public works director and the finance
director have resigned. It would have been a
bad time to bring in a new man," he said.
Rancer added that he favors in-house
promotions.
"Jenne is familiar to most people and is
liked by most people," Alderman Alice
Welsh said. "He has already analyzed a great
many of the community's problems."
Jenne came to the town administration in
1 973, when he was named the first director of
urban development. He became assistant
town manager in 1974. A C or ne University
graduate, Jenne first came to Chapel Hill as
a graduate student where he earned a
master's degree in urban planning.
