Survey reveals women faculty discontent with Affirmative Action
by Toni Gilbert
and Karen Millers
Staff Writers
Editor's note: This is the second of a
three-part series examining the progress
of the Affirmative Action Plan as it
relates to women faculty members.
Statistically, the Affirmative Action
Plan reported that the position of women
faculty at UNC has improved since 1973.
The plan stated that more women have
been hired at the assistant professor level,
salaries have been equalized according to
rank and duties of white males by
department and promotions to associate
professor among women have increased.
The recent report by the district office
of the Equal Employment Opportunity
Commission (EEOC) conflicted with
many of the plan's findings. The EEOC
said that large discrepancies between men
and women faculty remain in terms of
salary, recruitment, hiring, promotion
and tenure.
But statistics are not the only

Democratic presidential challenger
Jimmy Carter soundly defeated President
Gerald Ford Tuesday by over 320 votes in a
campuswide mock election in which more
than 2,100 students and faculty voted.
More than 1,160, or 55 per cent, of the
voters expressed a preference for Carter,
while 841, or 37 per cent, voted for Ford.
In the North Carolina gubernatorial and
lieutenant gubernatorial races, the
Democratic success story repeated with
Democrats Jim Hunt and Jimmy Green
crushing their Republican counterparts,
David Flaherty and Bill Hiatt.
Hunt gathered 1,222, or 62 per cent of the
vote, while Flaherty picked up only 661, or
33 per cent of the vote. Green defeated Hiatt
with 877, or 49 per cent, to 668, or 37 per cent
of the vote.
Howard Lee, whom Green defeated in the
lieutenant gubernatorial run-off primary,
received 21 1 write-in votes.
Libertarian presidential candidate Roger
MacBride gathered 1 per cent of the vote
with 25 ballots. American party candidate
Tom Anderson and Labor candidate
Lyndon LaRouche each picked up 7 votes.
Libertarian gubernatorial candidate
Arlan Andrews gathered 56 votes, or 3 per
cent, and American party candidate Chub
Seawell took 17 votes.
Sponsored by Common Cause, the
election also gave students the opportunity

guidelines for judging the total
effectiveness of Affirmative Action.
Attitudes of both men and women faculty
within their departments, and of the
University as a whole, reflect that what's
on paper doesn't always tell the whole
story.
A survey taken in 1975 by the
Committee on the Role and Status of
Women at UNC showed a side that
statistics could not.
The survey among women faculty
revealed a dissatisfaction with the
progress of Affirmative Action in terms
of salary, promotion, recruitment and the
mechanisms of the plan. Essentially, the
committee report agreed with the EEOC
findings.
Survey responses on recruitment and
promotion varied. Some women said the
trend was encouraging; others expressed
doubt. One respondent said, "I think
guidelines and written policies are always
overridden by personal, affective factors.
They are used for show and not for
action."

aldermen set the date at the end of the
semester so that students parking in the
area can make other parking
arrangements.
Alderman Gerry Cohen told the
board that students are attempting to
avoid parking fees by parking in the
areas.
"The situation is extremely
dangerous," he said at the meeting.
"People are cruising around looking for
spaces when there are plenty of spaces
available in the parking lots.
course load as well as deciding nine
controversial national and state issues.
Positive reaction to the implementation of
the four-course load was overwhelming with
1,323 students favoring it and 628 opposing
it.
On the state level, students rebuked the
state's "dry" forces by voting 1,732 in favor
of liquor by the drink while only 333 felt
state should remain dry.
Students and faculty voted 1,107 in favor
of publicly financed state political
campaigns, while 883 votes were cast against
the proposal.
Opinion on the implementation of the
death penalty was closer with 1,121 voting
against the death penalty and 916 favoring it.
The ERA was approved by 1,491 of the
voters while 556 were opposed to the
amendment.
On the national level 1 ,3 19 were in favor of
granting amnesty to draft evaders and 736
were opposed to it. Only 83 1 were in favor or
amnesty for deserters while 1,079 said
deserters should not be granted amnesty.
Full employment legislation was defeated
1,203 to 794.
Vote tallies ran 1,185 against U.S.
development of the B-l bomber and 782
favored continued development.
Most voters believed that the U.S. should
continue devlopment of nuclear energy with
1 ,435 favorable votes while 570 voted against
such development.
The anti-abortion forces were thrashed as
1,840 voted against a constitutional abortion
ban and only 186 favored the ban.

ndrews: Libertarian party can s
by Laura Seism
Staff Writer
Arlan K. Andrews, Libertarian candidate
for governor, said Monday that his party
doesn't expect to win any elections Tuesday
but that its candidates could determine the
outcome in states where the vote is close.
"We don't have many illusions, but an
upset could happen," Andrews told a group
of approximately 35 persons at a meeting
sponsored by the UNC Young Libertarians.
"The best thing we can hope for is to be able
to swing the election.
"We Libertarians don't expect to win in
terms of conventional winning. We don't
even show up in the polls, except maybe as
'other
"But a few thousand votes for MacBride
(Roger MacBride, Libertarian candidate for
President) and a few thousand votes for me
are going to say that we are not going to be
ignored.
The committee report summary stated
that many women said that "lip-service is
paid to Affirmative Action procedures,
but the spirit of Affirmative Action is
lacking." These women doubted the
fairness of departmental deliberations
over hiring and promotion and expressed
a concern about the absence of sufficient
written criteria in these areas.
"Women can, it seems, break into the
departments at the lower levels but find
the real test to be achieving recognition
from their departments after years of
service, recognition demonstrated in
promotions and salary increments," the
report stated.
Concerning salaries, 61 per cent of the
women surveyed in academic affairs said
they were satisfied initially with their
salaries.
However, some women said that their
salaries were not equivalent to men in
their departments with comparable
backgrounds.
Specifically, they said that the greatest
salary inequities occur among women

In his recommendation to the board,
Town Manager Kurt Jenne told the
board that the town administration had
received many complaints and at least
one petition asking the aldermen to
adopt the ordinance.
Cohen said Tuesday that he had
received complaints from residents of
the King's Mill Road area who said they
were unable to ride bicycles to class and
unable to walk safely to campus because
of the cars parked along the road.
The street was not designed as a
parking lot but was built as an access for
South Pampus to U.S. 15-501, "Cohen
said. He said the action by the board was
taken because of concern registered by
citizens over the hazards of traveling
along Manning Drive.
Another ordinance passed by the
board makes any illegally parked
vehicle in the Chapel Hill corporate
limits subject , to being towed. The
ordinance gives city officials blanket
authority to tow any vehicle in the
corporate limits parked in a "no
parking" zone.
The ordinance is designed to give city
officials a more effective tool for
enforcing parking ordinances. '
The UNC campus, located on state
owned land, will not be affected by the
towing ordinance.
The board also voted to make the
entire length of Manning Drive, which
dissects South Campus, a 25 mph speed
zone. In addition, the traffic ordinance
approved by the alderman will set a 45
mph speed limit on all portions of U.S.
15-501 bypass within the city limits.
In other action, the board approved a
request by the Planning Board to delay
its consideration of a special use permit
request by the Delta Delta Delta
sorority until its Nov. 4 meeting.
The Planning Board is required to
consider a permit request 30 days after a
public hearing on the matter according
to Chapel Hill zoning ordinances. The
delay was granted so the Planning
Board can consider the sorority's
request for the permit for property at
407 E. Franklin St. in light of the sewer
allocation policy adopted by the
aldermen Oct. 11.
"If nothing else happens, they (the major
parties) will adopt our policies into their
lawmaking, and that way we'll all win."
In a campuswide mock election,
MacBride received one per cent of the
presidential vote, and Andrews received
three per cent of the gubernatorial vote.
But Andrews has plans lor the
governorship, just in case he is elected. He
said he would ask the legislature to call a
constitutional convention to eliminate the
food tax and the inventory tax, drastically
reduce the property taxes of elderly and
retired people and limit existing taxes to
current levels "or below.
"I would also limit, by actual number, the
number of state employees," Andrews said.
"And if I could get that done in the first two
years, I would consider my administration a
success."
He said that when he left the governor's
office, there would be more private and
church schools than state-supported
faculty who have been at the University
the longest and that little is being done to
correct the problem.
Women also complained about the
secrecy with which salary decisions are
made and awarded. The dominance of
men as department chairpersons also
increased their suspicions about salary
decisions.
Comments by the women faculty
indicated strong dissatisfaction with the
mechanisms of the Affirmative Action
Plan, the committee report stated.
Almost every respondent in academic
affairs expressed skepticism about
commitment to the program on the part
of faculty and administrators.
One respondent wrote, "Affirmative
Action is moving at a snail's pace within
the University as a whole."
Another said, "delay tactics seem to be
almost a policy at UNC, and Affirmative
Action as it now stands is a farce."
The committee report stated that the
consensus of opinion among women
faculty was that Affirmative Action has

Orange Co. registration climbs
by Chuck Alston
Staff Writer
Despite national public opinion polls
forecasting gloomy election year
apathy, an unprecedented storm of
voter registration has swept across
North Carolina.
According to statistics released by the
state Board of Elections 118,512 new
voters registered for the general election
in the two and a half month registration
period ending Oct. 4
State Elections Board Director Alex
K. Brock said, "This is the largest
number of voters that we have ever
registered in a two and a half month
period."
A total of 2.5 million North
Carolinians are registered to vote in the
general election Nov. 2, according to
Brock.
The adoption of an August primary
date has resulted in a shorter, two and a
half month, registration period. The
registration records closed July 19 for
primary voting and thus were open for
the general election from July 20 to Oct.
4.
'Two and a half months is really a
short period," Brock said. "Before this
year, new voters had six months from
schools, more industry and less
unemployment, all because of Libertarian
emphasis on free enterprise and government
non-interference.
The Alcoholic Beverage Control Board
and the Milk Price Commission would be
eliminated under an Andrews
administration. The Insurance Commission
would be very small, he said. And there
would be no East Carolina University
medical school because "private colleges
culd produce all the doctors we need,"
Andrews said.
He predicted that his party would one day
replace the Republican party. He said that in
many races across the country this year,
Libertarians are the only opposition
Democrats face.
Andrews criticized a statement by the wife
of Democrat vice-presidential candidate
Walter Mondale that President Ford was
more interested in balancing the budget than
in helping people.
had little impact on hiring, salary or
faculty composition. The respondents,
commenting on their own situations, said f
they considered themselves "token
women."
They also said that women candidates
for faculty positions are only considered
seriously if they are outstanding in their
fields.
The need for a "permanent person on
campus to whom one could go with
grievances and for advice," was expressed
by women in the report of Committee on
the Role and Status of Women.
This is part of the duties of the
Affirmative Action Officer, Douglass
Hunt. However, several women
complained about his performance, and
no faculty members made positive
comments.
The committee's report was sent to'
Chancellor N. Ferebee Taylor along with
specific recommendations.
Subsequently, the recommendations
were presented to the UNC Faculty
Council Dec. 12, 1975.

The greatest number of new voters
registered in a six month period was
167,000. In proportion to the six-month
figures, the state registered new voters at
about triple that rate in the two and a
half month period, according to Brock.
A spokesperson for the Orange
County Board of Elections said that
between Aug. 1 7 and Oct. 4, 4,049 new
voters registered in the county.
The new voters bring the county total
to 36,360 registered voters. The break

28,809; Republican-5,377; American

The registration breakdown by party
affiliation for the state: Democratic-1.8
million; Republican-601,897;
Independent-102,540; American,
Libertarian and U.S. Labor-8,453.
Brock pointed to major voter
registration drives on the part of both
Democrats and Republicans as one
reason for the registration surge.
"Both major parties conducted
registration drives that were organized
and productive," Brock said. "They (the
parties) came to us for advice on how to
conduct registration drives and we
"There ain't no such thing as a free lunch,"
Andrews said. "That's the first law of
economics."
Politicians promise programs, and the
people pay for them, Andrews said. "We
(Libertarians) think it's immoral to take
money from all of us and give it to somebody
else," he said. "You folks out there are going
to be paying for the mistakes made next
Tuesday."
Andrews said. Libertarians think
government's only function is to protect
citizens from force and fraud. Only when tax
money is ued for these purposes is it moral,
he said.
In the area of foreign policy, Libertarians
would gradually withdraw all American
troops from overseas and station them
within United States borders, Andrews said.
American citizens and businesses outside
United States borders would not. receive
government protection. The country would
The council adopted six
recommendations made by the
committee:
1. ) To reevaluate the function, role and
duties of departmental Equal
Employment Opportunity officers.
2. ) to make the position of the UNC
Affirmative Action Officer full-time.
3. ) to make specific efforts to recruit
faculty women for administrative posts as
vacancies occur.
4. ) to require all departments to list and
publicize all openings nationally.
5. ) to require all departments to use a
search or faculty personnel committee
when recruiting for a tenured position or
other faculty position of more than one
year duration.
6. ) to -require all departments to
formulate explicit written promotion and
reappointment procedures.

The major urban counties in the state
enjoyed the biggest gains, according to
Brock. Mecklenberg, the state's most
populous county, reported over 20,000
newly registered voters. Wake Couty
gained 7,600 voters and Guilford added
8,900 to the rolls.
"But it was pretty much a constant
flow across the state," Brock said. "Even
the small counties had an unusual
experience." Brock singled out Wilkes
County, which registered over 3,000
new voters and is not heavily populated
by comparison with other counties, as
an example.
"The polls that show people not going
to vote were ilMimed," Brock said.
"People were burdened with the details
of the primaries, which during the
spring were reported 30 times by the
media."

translating the record registration totals

Mercernary armies would be allowed to fight
wars in foreign countries but would receive
no government support.
; A Libertarian government would
maintain a second strike defense capability,
Andrews said. But the government would
not hesitate to act in the case of a clear and
present danger, he said.
Andrews described Libertarian
philosophy in the area of private lives as the
most controversial of the party's positions.
Libertarians believe that no act between
consenting adults, be it economic, sexual or
anything else, can be considered criminal
unless coercion, force or a victim were
involved.
If government would adhere to that one
basic principle, Andres said, "The police
could spend all their time on what
Libertarians think is important the
prevention of violent crimes."
