The average mean salaries for men
were reported to be 17 percent higher
than those for women, according to
the University Career Planning and
Placement Service's (CPPS) 1986
employment survey.
The primary reason for the salary
difference based on sex is that men
hold jobs that pay more, said Rachel
Rosenfeld, associate professor in the
UNC Department of Sociology.
Some sexual discrimination is
present, but this is a, minor factor
compared to the fact that men and
women just have different jobs, she
said.
This occupational difference is
partially caused by women limiting
themselves to job opportunities that

A statewide, non-profit organiza
tion is establishing a program to help
women cope with on-the-job
problems.
In June, N.C. Equity will offer a
toll-free phone line from 9 a.m. to
5 p.m. for women wanting legal
advice on business-related problems,
said Cassandra Atkinson, president
of N.C. Equity. These problems may
include wrongful discharge, sexual
harassment, pay inequities and
discrimination based on sex, age or
race.
"Our goal is to increase the
economic status of women and their
families throughout the state,"
Atkinson said.
"The women can expect to receive
legal advice, guidance on their
options and counseling on what the
Business school establishes 7-week courses

The UNC School of Business
Administration has created a new
program for business students,.,
which will offer half semester courses
called "mods" next fall.
Mods will serve as electives for
business students, said Peter Top
ping, director of the undergraduate
program in the Business School.
Topping said the Business School
chose the mod format because some
classes are taught more effectively in
seven weeks. "It offers more variety
in the elective areas," he said, "and
it gives the faculty a chance to teach
things "they are' close r to '
professionally."

committee reduced the group's
administrative overhead from $3, 1 2 1
to $901, Riemann said. Included in
the cut was an elimination of a
secretarial salary and a $550 stipend
for the organization chairman. For
the past two years, the chairman has
not taken the stipend, he said.
Festival
comprises representatives from key
campus departments and divisions,
such as University Housing, Security
Services, Student Affairs, Student
Health Services and the Traffic and
Parking Office.
The festival's biggest impact on the
campus community will be made by
the 300,000 spectators expected to
come to the area, Hoolahan said.

over crowds than they do over the
Ticket Tax
Andresen said the council
members hoped the University
would support the hotel-motel tax,
adding that the Chamber of Com
merce had indicated it would con
sider the tax.
Fordham said he would not
indicate whether the University
would ever support the hotel-motel
tax.

allow them to work in the same area
as their spouse, said Sharon L.
Wiatt, assistant director of business
placement at CPPS.
"Both men and women are res
tricting themselves to jobs that will
allow them to have traditional
families," Wiatt said. But this seems
to be especially true of women.
This unwillingness to relocate
limits a person's job opportunities
because employers want people who
are highly mobile, Wiatt said. Inter
viewers are highly sensitive to a
prospective employee's ability to
relocate.
"Women don't really think
through the impact of these decisions
ahead of time," Wiatt said. Often
women find out too late that they
should have thought more about the
law requires in terms of employment
problems," she said. If necessary,
women will be referred to another
organization that could better assist
them.
N.C. Equity also plans to litigate
on behalf of the women who request
assistance, Atkinson said. This
program is being offered with the
North Carolina Association of
Women Attorneys.
N.C. Equity also wants to form
coalitions with other women's
groups such as the Business and
Professional Women's Club, the
American Association of University
Women, the Junior League, the
Women's Political Caucus, the
North Carolina's Womens Forum
and local rape crisis centers.

Decision-Making," a course nor
mally offered only to graduate
students, is now an undergraduate
course in the mod program, Topping
said. "(The class) marries the liberal
arts and business," he said.
Karen Miller, a junior business
major from Asheville, said that the
mods were a positive addition to the
school's curriculum. "I think it would
be more interesting to have a new
kind of elective in the Business
School," she said. "It's nice to have
the option."
Topping said he knew of no other
comparable business school that
offers the mod plan.We' like tb be
pioneers," he said.

"This is a big cut over what they've
received in the past," Riemann said.
SCAU received $13,831 last year, he
said.
Riemann said groups could ask
that part or all of their budget
requests be restored when they
present their budgets to the full
festival's athletes, he said.
The parking problem has not yet
been resolved, Bonus said, but
students will probably not be asked
to give up their parking permits. A
park-and-ride system for spectators
is being developed, Hoolahan said.
Bonus said the festival can be
thought of as a home football game
running 14 days straight. The grea
test difficulties are that the events will
be scattered across campus, and that

as well, Rosenfeld said. Mlt is very
hard to find two good jobs in the
same area."
Overall, women usually have
higher college grades and signifi
cantly better interview skills, Wiatt
said. "This gives them (women) an
advantage in the job market, but men
still have higher salaries," she said.
"This may be due to the restrictions
that women are putting on
themselves."
"Often people are uncomfortable
about trying to get jobs where they
know they will be a minority,"
Rosenfeld said. Therefore, women

of the Orange County, Rape Crisis
Center. ;
"The toll-free phone line is an
excellent idea because women are
still at a disadvantage in the work
force," said Jane Dehart-Mathews,
director of the UNC Women's
Studies Program and professor of
history. "It is extremely important
that women have access to expert
advice." -
The board members of the North
Carolina Association of Women
Attorneys and N.C Equity decided
on a toll-free phone line because a
long-distance call can be a barrier
for working women, Atkinson said.
The idea for creating N.C. Equity
came, from a May 1986 survey on
the economic needs of women, she
that business students must take in
their field. Each mod counts 1.5
credit hours, and the grade is figured
in the same way it would be for
regular courses, he said.
"It sounds like a great idea because
1 might not want to dedicate a whole
semester to one elective course," said
Steve Page, a sophomore business
major from Newark, Del.
Sarah Shackelford, a sophomore
business major from Kinston,
agreed. "Sometimes by the end of
the semester you're tired of the same
things (a mod course) would be
refreshing." ne said.
Currently, the mod is designed for
"' junior and senior business majors,

major from Hendersonville, said,

"The finance committee recom
mendations are usually followed,
though," he said. "But there's a
possibility of having a budget added

After the first three days of budget
hearings, enough of the projected

each day's schedule will be different

traffic hassles before they arise.
Hoolahan and Bonus agreed that
trash from the festival will be mostly
confined to the sports areas. North
Carolina Amateur Sports, which
sponsors the festival, will be respon
sible for cleaning up the trash, Bonus
said.
The event is much more complex
than any other spotting event that
has ever occurred at UNC, Bonus
said, and officials aren't sure exactly
what to expect.
But as far as the University is
concerned, Hoolahan said, it will be
business as usual. Literature will be
provided for students and faculty to
keep them up-to-date on what is
going on and what to expect.

are unlikely to apply for jobs in
traditionally male dominated fields.
Women often have less job expe
rience than the men in their field,
Rosenfeld said. Many times a
woman has not been employed as
long as a compatible man, so the
man is paid more.
Women are becoming more flex
ible in their career goals, Wiatt said.
Men and women now are consid
ering the same kinds of jobs.
There are two sides to the situa
tion, Wiatt said. Women get good
jobs and then give them up for their
families.

across the state identified such

issues, meeting basic family needs
and the opportunity to start private

N.C. Equity, which officially
began operating in February, is on
a three-year grant from the Z. Smith
Reynold's Foundation, Atkinson
said. ' .
"The Z. Smith Reynold's Foun
dation has been actively concerned
with the problems of North Carolina
women, especially those (problems)
in the work force," Dehart-Mathews
said. "Being sponsored by the foun
dation speaks strongly for N.C.
Equity's success."
Atkinson said the N.C. Equity
toll-free number will be announced
later this spring.
"From talking to my friends, I think
there is confusion that the classes will
fill up quickly, or that we won't get
to register for two of them, ... but
I'm going to give it a try."
However, business students will
have top priority for the mod
courses, Topping said.
Topping warned that non
business majors should be sure that
the credit hours will count toward
graduation before signing up for any
mods.
Some students are concerned
about the added expense for extra
textbooks, but most of the readings
will come from course packets rather
than textbooks ' limiting the
student's cost. Topping said.

budget is left so that the committee
could grant each remaining group
100 percent of their requests, Rie
mann said. But that won't happen
because it's necessary to have funds
left in reserve for groups that might
request funds later, he said.
The Black Student Movement and
the Carolina Symposium in partic
ular will probably request funds in
the fall, said Riemann. Both groups
were left out of the budget process
because they failed to meet certain
requirements. The BSM missed the
deadline for turning in budget
requests, and the Carolina Sympo
sium was not officially recognized by
the University in time for
consideration.
Riemann said he could not yet
project how much money the con
gress will leave in reserve because the
budget process is still in progress,
and the congress is working with a
projected amount of money, not an
exact figure.
"There will probably be sufficient
funds left to fund both groups
completely, but that's only if you
assume they're the only two groups
who will ask for funding," said
Riemann. "And congress won't
make that assumption."
