In the Sept. 7, 1970 edition of
"Time” magazine, there arose
the issue of abortion in New
York. Many arguments still are
present about the pros and cons
of legalizing it. Since July 1, four
deaths have occurred in the
16,000 abortion cases and only
one could be attributed directly
to the abortion.
Since the legalization of
abortion has been a recent issue,
the question was asked to some
ACC students. Of the 30 men and
women interviewed only one was
against it which was a male.
Here are some of the replies
preceded by the students initials
and classification:
ED.R. senior male: “I am for
it because of the population
problem. This would be a good
way to stem the problem.
D.F.W. sophomore male; “It
should be legalized because of
the population explosion. There
are too many unwed women
walking around with babies.”
S.C.W. sophomore female: “I
think it should be legalized
because it should be left up to the
individual and not the courts.
P.L.C., senior female: “I think
it is very good because if a child
is not wanted to begin with, then
it should not grow up in an
unloved environment.”
M.V.R. sophomore male: “I
think so because it gives women
their freedom and if they don’t
have their freedom, it is like
being in a cell. And, everybody
should be free.”
R.D. J. senior male: “It is good
if used to the benefit of world’s
population in trying to prevent
deformed children and in cases
where it is hazardous to the
mother.”
W.A.S. freshman male: “It
should be up to the individual.”
J.R., senior male: “Yes, it is
up to the women. There are a lot
of situations in which it would be
bad for both the woman and the
child.”
J.A.B. Sophomore male:
“Women ought not have to be
punished because of one
mistake.”
J.C.C., junior female. “Yes, I
think it should be legalized in
order to cut down on the
population explosion and
because I might need it

The SGA Exectuve Board held
its first meeting of the year
Monday night with President
Joe Harwood presiding.
In the first order of business,
Harwood appointed Lin Breece
and Mike Hughes to serve for
one year on the college Athletic
Committee. They will be the first
students ever to serve on this
committee.
Harwood then noted that he is
still looking for someone to serve
as student coordinator this year.
He encouraged board members
to suggest names of interested
students to him.
Concert
Is Slated
■‘Big Brother," featuring
Ernie Joseph, will present a
concert tonight in Wilsop
Gymnasium from 8 p.m. to 10
p.m.
The gym has been set up so
that the audience may sit on
blankets on the floor or in the
bleachers. No folding chairs will
be provided. Tickets will be
available at the door.
The ACC Entertainment
Committee urges all students to
attend. The larger the revenue
the committee receives from
ticket sales, the larger variety of
concerts the committee will be
able to present to the student
body. Tickets are $1,50 for ACC
students and their dates and
$2.50 for general public.
Democrats
N.C. Attorney General Robert
Morgan speaking at a dinner
meeting of the Young
Democrats Club last Tuesday
said, “I hope I will never see the
day when marijuana is legalized
in N.C.” Morgan pointed out that
studies conducted by his office
show a definite pattern of
marijuana users who later turn
to heorin and consequently often
have to resort to crime to sup
port their habit.
Morgan delivered his off-the
cuff remarks before some 35
faculty members and students.
During a brief question and
answer period Morgan said that
before 18-year-olds in this state
are allowed to vote, the state
courts will have to nullify a N.C.
statute which sets the voting age
at 21.
In commenting on last May’s
Board of Trustees meeting,
Harwood reported that the
Trustees decided to abolish the
old convocation system and
employ a non-mandatory convo
cation system beginning this
school year.
Under the area of new busi
ness, the Board set Sept. 22, as
the date for nominating fresh
man class officers. Elections for
Men’s Inter-Dorm president and
freshmen officers will be held on
Oct. 6 and 7.
The final order of business
dealt with an upcoming
“Presidents to President”
conference to be held Sept. 25,
26, and 27 in Washington, D.C.
Each invited school is supposed
to send the president of the
school and the president of the
student body as delegates.
However, Harwood said that he
“would be more than willing to
allow some younger student to
attend the conference in his
place.” Ed Harris, Junior Class
president, moved that sopho
more president Robbie Steen be
sent in leu of President Har
wood. The motion passed.
The conference will feature
speakers such as Secretary of
State Williams Rogers, Secre-
