The test, directed by Dr. Franz Steck of the University of Bern, entails the distribution of chicken heads inoculated with the live rabies vaccine throughout the test area as bait for foxes, which are the chief carriers of the disease in Europe.

Jerri-Lynn Scofield EVIa onlee does not guarantee succes The deadline for ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment (ERtA) passed last week, to the chagrin of supporters and glee of opponents. In- the end, Phyllis Schlafly's evocation of the evils of coed restrooms seemed more corn 'elling to many male-dominated southern and western state legislatures than the promise of constitutionally guaranteed equal rights for American women. ERAt supporters made many political mistakes and miscalculations, which they began to rectify but never fully overcame in the last year bel'ore the ratification deadline passed. The need for the amendment seemned so great, and the reasons for its passage so compelling, that .supporters felt its sheer rationality would carry it. They realized too fate that rationality and outcome are not always linked in the morass of American p~olitics. Women's equality offended many well-financed, well-organized interests. Too late women realized they needed to play hardball and become involved in strategies of nitty-gritty politics in order to)secore. The ERA\ is not dead yet. It will reappear, as it has since the beginn- ing ol the century until, I am sure, it has finally passed. Phyllis and her tro~upe of dancing girls, however, have had ;a much more damaging ef- 1zect on the movement for women's equality than merely sabotaging the ERA; many times last week I heard, "Women don't need the ERA; they halve equal rights alrealdy."' At MIT, this sentiment is too often expressed.
