A spokeswoman for
President Carter's reelection
campaign Tuesday
praised the administration's
record of supporting equal
ritfhtc fnr uinmon
' -C5--VW ?V? VVVUl^ll.
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.
"The ERA (Equal Rights
Amendment) is a high
priority matter for the
president," King said. "He
has worked hard, long and
seriously to get this bill
passed, as has the first ladv.
Rosalyn. As a family they've
worked very hard to get the
bill passed."
KING SAID Carter was
"optimistic and realistic" in
hoping the ERA will be
passed.

"The president is op
timistic, 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," King
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.

King does not take John
Anderson's pamnaiun

seriously. "Asking what the
election of Anderson would
mean to the women's
movement is like asking
what would happen if Tinker
Bell won," King said. "His
policies would not be that
fair. In the past he has been
very, very supportive of our
programs. But as election
time draws near there has
been an evaporation of
support," she said.

Social Security and
Medicaid programs," King
said. "These are especially
important to women because
after age 85 women outnumber
men two to one."
King said she did not know
if Carter plans to provide
money to allow middleincome
college students to
attend private schools.
"President Carter has opposed

think Carter helped institute

"He has lost as much as he
