Kirk Friedly Diane Fuller Christopher Fulton Jeanice Foltz Annette Galardo Paul Gallagher Tina Gardner Debra Gibson Girls behind guns? T n early 1980 President Jimmy Carter reinstated the draft— for men. With the possible passing of the Equal Rights Amend- ment, controversy arose about whether women should be included in the draft. Many people feel that ERA has gotten out of hand. Most people think that there should be equal pay for men and women who work at the same job. But having wom- en play professional football and fight in wartime situations is taking it a bit too far. Most would agree with Debbie Hurst that we should make it equal pay amendment instead of the more general Equal Rights Amendment. But what do Howe students, who ' ll have to live with Congress ' decision, feel about ERA and the possibility of being drafted? I don ' t think it ' s fair because I don ' t care for ERA. The women who are talking about ERA today are older, 45-50. When the war comes along, they ' re not going to be drafted. I am! says Debbie Hurst angrily. Some people have no arguments about women being drafted. Laura Day states, Women are as capable of handling combat situations as men. But only time will tell if ERA is passed and if indeed women will be drafted. If it is, then most people will feel the same way as Steve Wiles: They should get all the rights of men, not just some.
