A man with a college degree
can expect to earn about $13,000
per annum whereas a female
college graduate can expect to
earn only about $7,000 per year.
This and many other issues
were discussed Monday in the
Munsell lounge when Dr. Emily
Dale and Mrs. Pamela Muirhead
spoke on the Equal Rights
Amendment (ERA) and the
rights of women in society.
DR. DALE showed concern
because "women constitute the
largest minority group in the
world" and in the world today,
one's "opinions, attitudes, and
worth- are significantly less be-cause
you are are a woman."
Mrs. Muirhead stressed a need
to "combine personal conscious-ness
with a consciousness with
the law." In this way, women
can learn their own potentials
and the limitations placed on
them by many laws which dis-criminate
against them.
MUCH DISCUSSION revolved
about the proposed 27th Amend-ment
to the United States Con-stitution.
The ERA needs the
approval of only five more
states, including Illinois. After
ratification, it will take two more
ISU brings "Carousel"

The Music Theatre Depart-ment
at ISU will present two
performances of the musical
comedy, "Carousel," at 8:15 p.m.
Friday and Saturday, March 29-
30, in the University Auditor-ium.
The romantic musical is
acknowledged to be the greatest
theatrical creation of Richard
Rodgers and Oscar Hammer-stein
II.
Based upon Ferenc Molnar's
classic play, "Liliom," "Carou-sel"
features some of the most
popular music ever composed
for Broadway stage, including
such songs as "If I Loved You,"
"You'll Never Walk Alone,"
"June is Bustin' Out All Over,"
"Soliloquy," "What's the Use of
Wonderin'," and many others.
Tickets are on sale at the
University Auditorium box of-fice.

argues ERA goals, hopes
years for the law to go into ef-fect.
Passage of the ERA would
affect both men and women. Un-der
the current Social Security
system, women receive benefits
at 62, men at 65. This discre-pancy
would be eliminated.
THE ERA would make loans,
jobs and insurance more acces-sible
to women. It would also
eliminate a backlog of cases on
the books centering around sex
discrimination, and wipe off the
books aproximately 800 laws in
the United States which discrim-inate
against women.
One of the greatest gains for
women would be economic.
Women are still not receiving
equal pay for equal work. A
male with a high school educa-tion
can expect to earn about
$7,000 a year, while a woman
with the same education can
expect $5,000 per year.
BOTH MRS. Muirhead and
Dr. Dale cited examples of dis-crimination
against women, as
did other participants in the dis-cussion.
Mrs. Muirhead told of difficul-
State welcomes old master,
Grand Funk b
ISU will be the scene this
week of concerts for all tastes,
with bills ranging from Grand
Funk Railroad to Fred Waring
and His Pennsylvanians.
Grand Funk, a four-man
group with nine gold albums
and 10 million record sales in
the last five years, will appear
Saturday at 8 p.m. in Horton
Field House.
The group ,which leader Mark
Farner says is loud in order to
"create an atmosphere in which
there is nothing but the music,
where the only reality is the
beat and the rhythms," is the
first of a series which will also
bring John Denver, Chi Col-trane,
Peter Yarrow and Edgar
Winter to ISU.
Fred Waring, long a swing-style
band leader, has recently
rings loud rock
put together a whole new set
of singers and entertainers
which he calls "The New Penn-sylvanians."
Waring will appear
Monday at 8 p.m. at the ISU
Auditorium.
Waring was popular on col-lege
campuses as early as the
late 1910's.
Tickets for both concerts are
$4, $5 and $6 at the ISU Audi-torium
box office.

ty she had getting a charge
plate because her husband did
not work in Bloomington-Nor-mal,
despite the fact that she
teaches at Wesleyan. Also, she
couldn't get a checking account
at two banks without her hus-band's
name on the checks.
DR. DALE said she could not
get family rates on an airline
to take her children to New
Orleans because her husband
was not going.
Various girls pointed out dis-crimination
by teachers, male
students and administrators at
IWU and at their high schools.
It was noted that the radical
women's lib image has hurt the
sincere movement for women's
rights. Many girls said they felt
stereotype images of sex roles
and tend to have more respect
for men than for women. There
was also a discussion about how
women tend to compete so much
it is difficult to unite behind a
common cause.
