  • Page 2 Supporter writes: THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN THURSDAY FEBRUARY 6, 1975 What ERA means by Camille Roy When the Equal Rights Amendment appeared in 1973 for ratification in the North Carolina Senate, it was defeated 27- 23. Two senators who had vowed their support ofthe ERA, changed their minds at the last minute. One of the main arguments on the senate floor centered on the idea that women could be drafted into military service under the ERA. However, Congress now has the power to be subject to the draft, if there is one, but Congress can provide exemptions which apply equally to men and women. It can exempt either or both parents. Also, the amendment will permit both sexes to volunteer for the military on equal basis. Both will have equal access to the benefits of the military, including the GI Bill, veteran's preference for jobs, as well as the training provided by the service. As students, women are sometimes discriminated a- gainst in admissions, curriculum, facilities, counseling and placement. As teachers, the discrimination is in promotion and salaries. The ERA will require that all the benefits of publicly supported education be available to men and womon on an equal basis. It will n*>i require equal numbers of men and women or quotas. In marriage and divorce, the ERA will provide a legal basis for making the courts require divorced spouses to contribute in a fashion that would not leave the spouse to contribute in a fashion that would not leave the spouse with the children in a worse financial situation than the other. It will cause alimony to be awarded on the basis of ability to pay. There is some evidence of discrimination against women in the granting of credit by banks, savings and loan associations, credit card companies, finance companies, and even the federal government. Although the ERA cannot have a direct effect on the private sector's credit practices, it will have a long-range effect on diminishing discrimination. It will directly abolish sex discrimination in such public programs as FHA (Federal Housing Administration) and VA (Veterans Administration) loan programs.

If you don't believe this, remarked one opponent, just look at the committee studying the proposal — they've been doing the same damn thing for three years now and haven't come up with a new idea yet.
