record of supporting equal
rights for women.
In a telephone interview
with the Gamecock, Mary
King, who is also the director
of Action, a women's rights
group, said the administration
has created
more than 9 million new
jobs, half of which have been
filled by women.

priority matter for the
president," King said. "He
has worked hard, long and
seriously to get this bill
passed, as has the first lady,
Rosalyn. As a family they've
worked very hard to get the
bill passed."
KIMi SAII) Carter was
"optimistic and realistic" in
hoping the ERA will be
passed.

"The president is optimistic,
but he has no
control over state
legislatures. He has no
leverage over the men in
charge," she said.
"The election of Ronald
Reagan would be very unsettling
for women." Kine
said. "President Carter feels
it is time for a woman to
serve on the Supreme Court.
In Georgia, judges are
elected, but the death of a
judge allowed Carter to
appoint the first woman
judge in that state.
AS PRESIDENT, a
quarter ot his appointments
to the bench have been
women," she said. "As

King does not take John
Anderson's campaign
seriously. "Asking what the
election of Anderson would
mean to the women's
movement is like asking
what would happen if Tinker

been an evaporation of

"President Carter has opposed

because they would undermine
