FEMINIST SPEAKS AT MEMORIAL
Betty Friedan calls for ERA passage
KING
ABORTION
By JILL RADER HAYES
Staff writer
A plea for soldiers to battle
for the Georgia passage of the
Equal Right's Amendment
rang out in Memorial Hall
Thursday evening
"As long as there are states
like Georgia, that will not
revoke 120-year-old laws that
make a wife chattel for her
husband, we need a federal
law for protection,” Betty
Friedan said, during a well-at
tended speech sponsored by
the Student Union.
Calling passage of the ERA
the real crisis for this
generation, the “Mother of the
women’s liberation move
ment" outlined the amendment
as merely giving women the
constitutional underpinning to
keep that which they had
(ought so long to gain
Women are still fighting for
the democratic rights that we
won in the American revolu
tion." the 55-year-old feminist
said. "ERA is not radical, it’s
only an application to women’s
existence of the basic values of
equality, freedom and indi
vidualism.
"Washington has shown its
priorities for women. The way
in which Carter fired Bella
Abzug, head of the National
Advisory Committee for Wo
men, portrayed the President’s
contempt for women." Friedan
charged.
The founder of the National
Organization of Women (NOW)
warned the young audience not
to forget that others had
worked to gain opportunities
that they now enjoyed
In 1964. hysterical laughter
caused the Congress to ad
journ, according to Friedan,
after the proposal to include
the words "sex discrimina
tion’’ in the Civil Right's Act
was introduced.
"Twelve years ago NOW
grew out of the rage that
women experienced after that
laughter,” Friedan noted,
"with the simple purpose of
gaining equality for women
and an equal partnership with
men.”
Friedan emphasized the ac
tion-oriented ideas of the
organization—not the bra-burn
ing or radical ideas of a few
that the "media promoted’’—
and cited the extensive law
suits that have been won or are
pending
“It is no longer legal to
spend a million dollars on
programs for boys and $600 on
programs for girls in campus
sports I say no longer legal,
but that does not mean that the
situation has been exactly
cleared up,” Friedan said
"Not far from here—could it
be this University?—boy's
teams get wined and dined,
flown around the country and
designer uniforms, yet girl's
teams get dinner at McDor
aid’s, bus transportation r j
t-sl.'i * from the dime store."
Freaan remarked
She also accused a univer
sit\ still not far away, of
illegally having 50 percent
female students, but only two
percent female full professors
and of having 15 tenured
women out of thousands of
professors
The author of "The Feminine
Mystique,” which marked the
beginning of the women's
movement for many, described
today's movement as a realis
tic confrontation with the fact
that longer life spans and
scientific advancement mean
that motherhood and marriage
may not be the primary role in
women’s lives
"The women’s movement
happened because of the new
years of human life that we're
living," Friedan insisted, "not
because I, nor any other witch
of Salem, somehow deluded the
otherwise happy housewives
who were having orgasms
waxing their kitchen floors."
The speaker denounced two
objections to the ERA during a
question and answer session
"There is nothing in the ERA
that will force people to go to
the bathroom any differently
than they do now.” she
exclaimed.
“Yes, women may be
drafted, but that does not
mean that there will be preg
nant women in the trenches,"
* Friedan also stated.
”1 am tired of fighting,” she
said with a heavy sigh after
her speech "But, until we get
ERA behind us—I cannot let
go.”
Friedan, who resides in New
York City, said that she is
working on another book and
conducting research at Colum
bia University.

In response to a student's
question King said he is
"scared to death - ' for the
Christian church The church
espouses a philosophy of
brotherly love and love for
God. he said, but it will be the
last institution to open its doors
to all men "I have no hang up
about that." he said "I don't
b«»ther about color. I'm on record
as being every man s brother ’
King led the audience in
singing "I Will Trust in the
I/ord. a well-known hymn At
the end of the program the
audience joined hands and
King lc*d in singing "We Shall
Overcome "
"You’re looking in the face
of a black man who refuses to
stoop low enough to hate
anybody. King told his
audience. "Don’t you do it.”
‘All eyes were on King...’
By VIRGINIA LYNNE ANDERSON
The auditorium was parked with students The atmosphere
was oneof serenity and peace The largely black audience had
assembled to watch a donation be given to Rev Martin Luther
King. Sr for the Martin Luther King. Jr Center for Social
Change in Atlanta
As the Pamoja choir sang, all eyes were fixed on Rev King
Several people perched on the edges of their chairs as they
strained to hear the soft-spoken man address the crowd
"I love you." King told the crowd "We all have one Father,
and He made all of us out of one blood We do not have the
right to hate anyone." he went cn as tear-filled eyes gazed
upon him.
As any professor on campus w ill agree, it is difficult to keep
the interest and attention of a small gathering of students for
a short length of time, not to mention a large gathering for a
long period of time Yet there was no fidgeting, or shifting,
and no signs of impatience as King spoke
His slightest wish was the crowd’s command Within
seconds after asking the group to sing. "I will trust in the
Lord till I die." voices were raised in singing When he asked
each person to come forward and deposit a dime onstage
toward the Center for Social Change, people rose to thier feet
instantly and proceeded down the stairs.
"There doesn't have to be any talking." joked King,
sounding much like a high school teacher Again his wish was
obeyed as the quiet murmur in the room diminished and gave
way to the gentle sound of footsteps en route to deposit dimes
at the edge of the stage

passing it but to excellence,”
Rentz said He suggested
special recognition for students
who do exceptionally well on
the test.
He also addressed the
problem of what the policy
statement means about stu
dents with less than 105 hours
who fail the test. “It is unclear
what priority means Students
better give it (remedial
courses) some priority." Rentz
said.
The recent ch.inges in the
testing policy will hurt stu
dents transferring to schools in
Georgia from out of state,
according to Rentz. Transfer
students entering the Georgia
system with 105 or more hours
will have a one quarter "grace
period" to pass the test. If they
fail the test they must take
remedial courses, Rentz said
Rentz added that officials at
various schools "are on record
as requesting a mathematics
portion be put on the test”
which now consists of reading
and writing
In other action SAC dele
gates voted to send a letter to
Lt. Gov. Zell Miller commend
ing the state senate for its
substitute motion on teenage
drinking. The senate bill
calling for stricter enforce
ment of existing age limits was
passed as a substitute for a
house bill which would raise
the legal drinking age to 19
The SAC letter also call for
stronger efforts in alcoholism
rehabilitation.
An ad hoc committee was set
up to draft a policy statement
on the Regents' Rising Junior
Exam. University delegate
Joan Dawson is a member of
that committee.
Dawson was also named
chairman of the lobbying
committee to replace the
previous chairman who re
signed earlier.
