" On the outside If there were such a thing, today would be a great day to stay inside and work on those term papers. Such a prospect couldn't be more chilling than today's tem- peratures, which will go no higher than 22 and will get down to 7. WASHINGTON (AP)-The Equal Rights Amendment has little or no chance of being ratified soon in seven states that have been targeted for heavy lobbying by a leading women's rights organization, a recent survey by the Associated Press shows. Both supporters and opponents of the amendment painted a black picture of ratification prospects in the seven states-Arizona, Florida, Illinois, Missouri, Nevada, North Carolina and, Oklahoma-which have been targeted for lobbying by the National Women's Political Caucus. AN EIGHTH state, Georgia, is on a. separate list maintained by Sarah Weddington, President Carter's special assistant for women's affairs. Florida, Nevada and North Carolina also are on Weddington's priority list. "It's dead," Nevada Gov. Mike O'Callaghan, a Democrat, said of chan- ces for ratification of the ERA in his state. Mary Odom, president of North Carolinians United for ERA, summed it up this way: "If we took a vote today, we couldn't win." IN FLORIDA, for example, a ratification effort fell short in a special session last week. Prospects for ratification next year are rated about 50-50, with the balance tipped slightly toward the opponents. The legislature does not meet again until April 3. Other states which have not ratified the ERA are Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Utah and Virginia. The women's caucus did not make a special effort in these states, which are not considered prime targets for ratification. In Virginia, for instance, ERA supporters have failed five times to win its ratification. The ERA, first approved by Congress in 1971, got a new lease on life earlier this year when the House and Senate approved a resolhtion extending its ratification deadline from March 22, 1979, to June 30, 1982. That action spurred new and even more intensive lobbying by supporters and opponents of the proposed constitutional amen- dment, which would probhibit discrimination on the basis of sex.

MAPLE VILLAGE THE SURVEY showed little support for/predictions by some ERA backers that the extension would provide the impetus for the amendment's approval by the necessary 38 states before the original March 22 deadline. So far, 35 states have ratified the ERA. But legislatures in four of these states-Idaho, Kentucky, Nebraska and Tennessee-have voted to rescind their approval votes. The General Ser- vices Administration, which records ratifications by the states, has said that the rescinding votes will be forwarded to Congress for a decision on their validity. Opponents of the ERA have said they will file court challenges to the exten- sion of the ratification deadline-the first reprieve granted for a con- stitutional amendment since Congress began setting time limits early in this century. THE PROTRACTED battle over the ERA has been an emotional one in which supporters insist that women need their rights spelled out in the U.S. Constitution while opponents insist that equal fervor that federal statutes already on the books do an adequate job of protecting women against discrimination. The ERA states simply that "equality of rights under law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any state on account of sex." The opposition forces, led by Phyllis Schlafly, have argued that ratification of the ERA would, among other things, subject women to military draft. Schlafly, national chairman of Stop ERA, has said that a modified ERA which would not deprive women "of any of the rights, exemptions and benefits they now possess . . . would allow for rational differences between men and women." r Victoy Cab 274-5444 To Ann Arbor: 4 for $6.25 each 3 for $8.25 each 2 for 12.50 each 1 for $24.00 4 Can Ride For One Price To And From Detroit Metro Airport We go when you are ready We go anywhere Victory Cb-274-5444 halto the CH IEf happybirthday Sue OR THE TIME BEING A Christmas Verse Play H w sA I mNM Reservation Now!
