ERA's extension approval
gets varied official reaction
Reaction to the U.S. Senate's approval
of the Equal Rights Amendment extension
ranged from whole-hearted approval to
questions about the possible "amending of
the Constitution."
Lincoln Mayor Helen Boosalis said she
thought it was "fine."
"I supported it," she said. Boosalis said
that while she did not feel the extension
would change her life in any way, "I cer
tainly should change a lot of things for
women and men. I think it's important to
remember that men will be affected by
this, too," she said.
Gov. J. James Exon said that while he
supported the ERA, he did not support an
extension of the time limit for ratification.

He said some students might only be
able to go to school during the December
to February quarter in order not to
conflict with farm activities.
"There would be no opportunity for
farm-out people to go to school (on a
semester system)," he said.
The university has said it might develop
special programs for farm-out students,
Schuster said. But this would require
special instructors, special classes, and
special living arrangements for the students
if they came and went at different times
than the rest of the students.
"It might be somewhat inconvenient
(for the farm-out students), but I don't
think that many go home (to farm)
anymore," Parks said.
Schuster said it will be difficult for
persons to graduate on time if they would
have to leave school for a semester.
"A semester is almost half a year, and
if a class is only offered in the fall semes
ter, you'd have to wait a whole year to
take it," he said.
Parks said there should be no problem
for students currently enrolled in the
quarter system to graduate after the
switch-over.
"Switching credits from one system to
the other is merely a mathematical
process," he said.
Vote taken
Schuster said a vote was taken among
students and faculty members before the
"I think that what has happened is a
serious tampering with the Constitution,"
he said. "I feel that those who did not
agree with the ERA have been dealt an un
fair blow by the Senate becau:e of the
extension of time that was allowed."
Exon said he also thought that the
Senate should have allowed states to decide
whether they wanted to rescind their vote
on the ERA.
"I think the ERA is all right, but ... 1
don't feel the extension was right or
proper," he said.
Exon's Republican opponent for the
U.S. Senate nomination, Don Shasteen
could not be reached for comment.
decision to switch was made.
The students voted 72 percent not to
switch to a semester system, and the
faculty voted 60 percent to switch to a
semester system.
Parks said the students knew before the
vote was taken that the deciding vote
would be made. by the faculty.
"I think students are inclined to be
conservative on this point when it comes to
switching."
He said students are afraid they might
be hurt from trie switch. Every course in
the curriculum will be re-evaluated over
the next three years in preparation for the
switch.
"I think it's good for a university to go
through a re-appraisal like this every so
often," Parks said.
Schuster cited several reasons for the
switchover.
The other post-secondary schools in
Iowa are on a semester system, so it would
be simpler to transfer, he said.
Nationally, it is a growing trend to
switch to a semester system, he said.
A semester system would take less ad
ministrative work because the majority of
students would have to register for classes
twice a year instead of four times, Schuster
said.
In addition, an instructor would be able
to put more into a course if he had the
15 weeks of a semester system instead of
the 10 weeks of a quarter system, he said.

For a good
night's sleep,
Super Plus
Tampax tampons
Nightgown by Chr!Stia" Dior
If you've ever needed
extra protection over
night. . .or on days when
your flow is heavy, you'll
think Super Plus Tampax
tampons were designed just
for you. And they were.
Super Plus Tampax
tampons give you longer
lasting protection because
they're far more absorbent
than the average super. Yet
they're still surprisingly
slim and comfortable. A
rounded tip and smooth,
highly polished applicator
make them extra easy to
insert, too.
Now. when you need
something more, or when
you can't change tampons
as readily as you like, switch
to Super Plus Tampax
tampons. You'll feel more
secure during the day. And
overnight, too.
