As the "New Morality"
sweeps the nation, the ques
tion of whether or not birth
control pills should be made
more available through stu
dent health service remains
a controversial campus issue.
"The pill," an oral contra
ceptive, is reportedly the sur
est method of birth control
aside from surgery and ab
stinence. A survey of student opinion
revealed that most students
feel that a greater access to
the pills would b e beneficial
in many cases. As one student
put it, "I don't see any sense
in having parentless children
around."

A national labor union or
ganizer told a group of UNC
students Thursday that if Cone
Mills workers are successful
in their upcoming strike in
Greensboro, it may open the
door for union organization in
textile plants across the South.
Peter Brandon, representa
tive for the national Textile
Workers Union of America and
current organizer for the Cone
Mills local union in Greens
boro, said that the Greens
boro strike could have wide
spread implications for future
labor - management relations
in 750 Southern textile plants.
"Textile management knows

swoop down on us and try to

told the group of about 50 stu
dents who had gathered at
the Wesley Foundation to hear
the talk.
"We will never give in. We
will never let him (Clarence
Cone) off the hook. We will
never let him keep his profit
while these injustices exist."
Brandon added that even if
the workers' strike fails next
week, labor will have won a
foothold in future negotiations
with management.

be made availablewith limitations,"
Whether or not this need
could be met through the in
firmary seemed to be another
question entirely.
Dr. Edward Hedgpeth, di
rector of the Student Health
Service, said the infirmary
does not prescribe birth con
trol pills to unmarried wom
en under any circumstances:
"We follow this policy both
for medical and moral rea
sons. Our duty is to be ethical
and honest with a patient, and

but he cannot destroy this
union," he said.
The workers will vote Sun
day on whether to strike next
week. They are seeking a
wage increase, fringe bene
fits and more favorable treat
ment of the union.
Approximately 15 Cone
workers appeared at the meet
ing to answer questions about
the strike plans.
One worker made it plain
that "we don't want you (the
students) to fight our battles
for us. We just want you to
know the truth.
"A lot of us are going to
lose our jobs in jthis thin but
we've got to get a (more fav-
orable) contract." - 7
Ann Schunior, who is help

pation in the strike, reported
about 20 students have signed
up to go to the meeting in
Greensboro Sunday night when
workers will vote on whether
or not to strike.

Coeds Attend Classes

As I walked into the elevat
or at Morrison dorm the eyes
of the boys inside opened
wide.
"Hey, she can't come up
here!" on esaid.
"Looks like somebody got a
new roommate," a n p t h e r

"Where can I get mine?"
another said.
The elevator stopped at the
eighth floor. I walked past
two surprised boys who were
waiting for the elevator and
into the Griffith House (eighth
floor) social room.
Dr. John Semonche's Mod

stroy yourself with it. It's

EACH OF THE students in
terviewed knew of at least
one couple that was forced to
get married because of an un
wanted pregnancy, and some
students knew of as many as
ten or fifteen.
Many of the students said
they knew girls who were "on
pills," and all responded that
they knew girls for whom ac
cess to pills would be desir
able. However, there was no
agreement among the students
on the question of who should
be allowed to use pills.
Opinions varied from one
extreme "As far as I'm

classes now meeting in t h e
dorms as part of the residen
tial college program. If these
classes are successful the pro
gram will be expanded next
year.
There were 17 students in
the social room, including two
coeds. Lynda Law, a fresh
man from Arlington. Va. and
Virgina Nailling, freshman
from Ashville.
The students were sitting on
couches and around tables,
looking very comfortable, like
the one boy in the back who
was stretched out in a rpclin
er chair, feet up and head
rest back.
He took notes in this posi
tion. The class looked moe
like s grouo anticiDating a

thn a professor. -
Semonche came in puffing
on a pioe, followed bv Chuck
Longino. a Ph.D. candidate
working on th1 Chancellor's
evaluation of the residence
college system.
He passed out course eval
uation sheets containing such
questions as "Sometimes I
can't understand how teach
ers arrive at the grades thev
give, agree or disagree" and
"Did you ever feel so dis
couraged with yourself intel
lectually that you wonder whe
ther anything is worthwhile?"
Semonche sat on the edge of
a table lecturing during the
hour and a half long class
while students relaxed and
took notes or listened atten
tively. In trving to understand ro
manticism," he was saying,
"we must remember the em
phasis on individuality." There
was no sound except pens
scratching across notepaper.
WHEN ASKED how she felt
about meeting class in a boy's
dorm Lynda said, "Being in
- the minority isn't a new feel
ing at Carolina. We actually
don't feel like we are meeting
in p men's dorm."
"This is much better than a
regular classroom." Virginia
added. "The atmosphere is so
much more casual. The pro
fessor seems to be just dis
concerned, anyone can use
them who wants to" to
the other "I do not aDorove
of the whole thing."
The extremes were rare,
however, and the majority of
students felt "pills should be
made more available with
limitations."
Some of the limitations pro
posed were based on the seri
ousness of the relationship
the pills should be used only
be engaged girls or by girls
dating very seriously.
Some students thought the
pills should be used only by
girls who were emotionally
disturbed and under psychia

Special Vote
For Editor
The Elections Board decid
ed Thursday not to call a spe
cial election for editor of The
Daily Tar Heel.
The board also recommend
ed that the spring election be
held March 21. That date must
be approved by Student Leg
islature. Holding the spring election
on March 21 "would make it
highly impractical1 to hold a
special election to formally
fill the vacancy created by
the resignation of the editor of
The Daily Tar Heel" the
board said.
Election laws say the spring
election may not be held ear
lier than the third Tuesday in
March nor later than the third
Tuesday in April.
Last year the spring elec
tion was March 22 and the
run-off a week later.
The Elections Board felt
that holding the election after
spring recess which is March
24-April 2 would delay the in
auguration of new officers un
til May.
This would leave the new
student body president less
than two weeks to organize his
cabinet.
The board said holding the
election after the spring re
cess would also pose "an un
fair burden" on students di
rectly involved in the election
the candidates, their .cam
paigners and election officials.
Hedgpeth: "I don't condemn but
neither will I sanction indiscriminate
promiscuity."
Others put the limitations on
the basis of age "They
should not be prescribed to
girls under 21." And still oth
ers thought that parental per
mission should be the decid
ing factor.
The only agreement was
that "the problem of birth
control is an individual one
and should be approached ob
jectively and with caution."

A referendum to let students
express their views on the
Vietnam War was proposed to
Student Legislature Thursday
night.
Dick Levy presented a peti
tion to Legislature with signa
tures of over 30 Morrison resi
dents, expressing "concern
about the recent expression of '
Bob Powell regarding the
views of UNC students," and
calling for the referendum.
Joining Levy in support of
a referendum was another leg
islator, George Krichbaum,
who asked that Powell not sign
another letter until he finds
out how students feel.
Levy said he would intro
duce legislation making the
referendum possible as soon as
he completes writing it.
The petition from Morrison
expressed concern based on
two points:
o apparent attempt was
made to ascertain what views
students actually hold.
"There is a question of
whether Powell's views do rep
resent majority feelings about
the United States' conduct of
the war."
Levy stressed he was not
calUng for censure of p0Well.
"T rppret. hie action of fail
ing to consult us," Levy said.
"Still he has raised a legi
timate area of major con
cern," he said, e question
of Vietnam and what our stu
dents here at UNO feel about it
are of major importance."
"Perhaps we are out of the
mainstream or perhaps Bob
Powell speaks for a majority,"
he continued.
Levy said he wanted to pro
pose a student referendum on
the opinions of the war, not on
Powell's conduct.
He called for a dialogue of
debates, teach-ins, and Daily
Tar Heel coverage of student
opinion.
"I fear a lack of concern on
the campus for the question
of the war," he said. "For
most of us, our concern is
only on how the war effects us
personally."
Levy said there has been
failure of both sides of war
opinion to "put forth convin
cing arguments. When Powell
diagnosed this confusion he
performed a service."
Levy said he would introduce
a resolution calling for the ref
erendum into committee. He
said he still has to construct
the actual wording of what
should appear on the ballot
and to decide what day it
should be held on.
Krichbaum, like Levy, is a
member of the Student Party,
said he had talked to Powell
Thursday afternoon and was
convinced Powell "acted with
the best intentions."
"I feel there has been a lack
of rapport between Powell and

Student Body Gets Choice
Of '68 Symposium Topic
The Interim Committee of
the Carolina Symposium has
chosen to go beyond the cus
tomary student - faculty com
mittee this year, and ask the
student body at large for top
ic suggestions for the next
Symposium.
A biennial forum financed
by student government, cam
pus organizations, and private
contributors, the Carolina
Symposium will next occur in
the spring of 1968.
In accordance with the top
ic chosen, it will feature
speakers of national promi
nence, faculty-led discussions
for students, exhibits, and
seminars in its week-long pro
gram. As planning for the 1968
Symposium has already be
gun, the Interim Committee
requests that students with
suggestions clip out the ac
companying form and drop it
in the box marked "Sympos
ium" in the GM Information
office.

reply was: "They're probably
being as realistic as they
can."
The students said they real
ize that the infirmary, while
uninfluenced by pressure from
the administration, has to an
swer to the state.
They feel it would be a "ter
rible responsibility" to take a
stand in the matter, especial
ly in. view of the criticism
that would be received from
parents.
Most students agree with
the girl who said, "I think the
problem should be put out in
the open, but I don't expect
the infirmary to take a stand.
"It would be desirable to
have a change, but I just
can't see its happening."

The 1966 Symposium met un
der the topic, "Man, Mind,
and Myth: The Conditioned
Society." Other topics have
included "Arms and Man:
National Security and the
Aims of a Free Society," and
"Image of Man: the Individu
al in an Accelerating Cul
ture." These served as umbrella
topics under which various
facets of the theme were ex
plored. For 1968, it has been sug
gested that the topic be some
what narrower, perhaps in
cluding only one of two fields,
such as politics and economics.
Topics so far discussed in
the Interim Committee are
"Drugs and Their Use," "The
Political Issues in 1968," "Pov
erty in America," and "Ur
banization." The Interim Committee
wishes to have the topic sug
gestions accompanied by some
elaboration, but all topics, ex
plained or not, will be considered.
