Women’s group fears ERA may be buried under GOP landslide

Large Republican gains in Tuesday's election could considerably delay or prevent passage of the Equal Rights Amendment.
Since the Republican platform is against the ERA, the National Organization of Women (NOW) is planning new strategies to secure its ratification.
"We anticipated a Reagan victory' but we did not expect the Republican sweeps in the U.S. Senate," said Shellev Mandell. NOW Los Angeles
Reagan has shifted from the right to the center on ERA.
chapter coordinator. "But we will continue working for ERA."
"Reagan W’as consistent with his party's view when he spoke against the amendment at a press conference Thursday but said he was in favor of women's equal rights said Toni Carabillo, editor of National VO l\ rime. I wonder why he addressed this issue so soon
"Before the election, ERA onlv needed the rati fication of three states to gain a majoriU in Con gross," Mandell said "The socially progressive
trends of the Carter administration made chances for ratification of the amendment look good."
But the amendment's chances for ratification were set back considerably by Republican victories in kev states where the amendment is under consideration including Florida, Illinois, Mississippi, North Carolina and Oklahoma. "But there are still Democratic majorities in some states," Mandell said optimistically.
"During his campaign, Reagan shifted from the right to the center on this issue," she said. "He supports equality' for women but not ERA. So it seems that we differ on the methods, but it's too early to tell how consiliatory Reagan will be."
"I assume if he wants his party re-elected in '82 and '84 he'll deal with the right wing of the Republican Party. Of course, we will continue with attempts for ratification/' Carabillo said.
This weekend, the California NOW State Board will meet to discuss new strategies and to review the Senate and state election results
"Voters were more concerned with economic and world issues than with women's right- Mandell said. "We'll have to adapt to the new administration."
University ends year with balanced budget
By Paul Manuele
The university ended the 1980 fiscal vear with a balanced budget and a gain in net fund balances (difference between total assets and total liabilities) of more than $49 million, according to the 1980 annual financial report released Thursday
The period represents a record 12 months of financial growth, with new all-time highs in revenues generated from annual gifts (S42 million,) sponsored research volume (S53 million,) and student tuition and fees (SI 13 million.) Annual revenues reached a total of S288 million, up S32 million, or 13 percent, over last year.
Though expenditures increased at a faster rate than revenues, due to inflation and energy costs, a S4 million capitation funds grant from the State of California combined with a mid-year expenditure holdback enabled the university to finish the fiscal year in the black, the report said.
In his introductory message, former university president, John R. Hubbard cautioned that the next decade will require "the rigorous management of expenditures" to maintain the university’s educational quality He cited the possibility of program redu tions or eliminations in the future, and budeet h ■ as a wav ot fighting inflationary iosis
He also predicted university costs will increase taxer than tin rate of inflation over the next five vears.
