u v iv - fit1 " ---we"- day October 22 1966 THE DAILY TAR HEEL Page 3 At Triangle Park Trea -fi ll Colleges Begin To CommTDiiater Re cora 'ram Off Me Woman More Liberally RESEARCH TRIANGLE 2,- A boy is born in Honolulu, a grandmother dies n Bath, Maine, and work of these two fragments of the drama of life go3s to a new Duiiding in the Research Tri angle Park. It's the headquarters of the c PrCssing Laboratory of the National Center for Health Statistics and its job is to translate the raw ma terial of hum ATI life inf r ro XilKJ XV- liable statistics that form the basis for decision making by government and business. Opened just last month, the laboratory has 75 employes (eventually there will be 100) and occupies a 12,000-square-foot building that is part of the developing Public Health Serv ice environmental health cen ter. STACKS OF CARDS In most instances, the lab oratory's end product is stacks of punched cards, ready to be fed into computers in Wash ington. & Maxfihulman (By the author of "Rally Round the Flag, Boys!", 'Dobie Gillis," etc.) ONCE MORE UNTO THE BREACH Way back in 1953 I started writing this column about campus life. Today, a full 13 years later, I am still writing this column, for my interest in undergraduates is as keen and lively as ever. This is called "arrested development!' But where else can a writer find a subject as fascinating as the American campus ? Where else are minds so nettled, bodies so roiled, psyches so unglued ? Right now, for example, though the new school year has just begun, you've already encountered the following dis asters: 1. You hate your'teachers. . 2. You hate your courses. 3. You hate your room-mates. 4. You have no time to study. 5. You have no place to study. N Friends, let us, without despair, examine your problems one by one. 1. You hate your teachers. For shame, friends! Try looking at things their way. Take your English teacher," for instance. Here's a man who is one of the world's authorities on Robert Browning, yet he wears $30 tweeds and a pre-war necktie while his brother Sam, a high school dropout, earns 70 thou a year in aluminum siding. IS it so hard to understand why he writes "F" on top of your themes and "Eeeyich!" in the margin? Instead of hating him, should you not admire his dedication to scholarship, his disdain for the blandishments of commerce? Of course you should. You may flunk, but Pippa passes. 2. You hate your courses. You say, for example, that you don't see the use of studying Macbeth when you are majoring in veterinary medicine. You're wrong, friends. Believe me, some day when you are running a busy kennel, you'll be mighty glad you learned "Out, damned Spot!" v 3. You hate your room-mates. This is, unquestionably, a big problem in fact, the second biggest problem on American campuses. (The first biggest, of course, is on which side of your mortar board do you dangle the tassel at Commencement?) But there is an answer to the room mate problem : keep changing room-mates. The optimum ' interval, I have found, is every four hours. 1 4. You have no time to study. Friends, I'm glad to re port there is a simple way to find extra time in your busy schedule. All you have to do is buy some Personna Super Stainless Steel Blades.' Then you won't be wasting pre cious hours hacking away with inferior blades, mangling your face again and again in a tedious, feckless effort to winnow your whiskers. Personna shaves you quickly and slickly, easily and breezily,' hacklessly, scrapelessly, tug lessly, nicklessly, scratchlessly, matchlessly. Furthermore, Personna Blades last and last. Moreover, they are avail able both in double-edge and Injector style. And, as if this weren't enough, Personna is now offering you a chance to grab a fistful of $100 bills. The Personna Super Stainless Steel Sweepstakes is off and running ! You can win $10,000 and even more. Get over to your Personna dealer for de tails and an entry blank. Don't just stand there! 5. You have no place to study. This is a thorny one, I'll admit, what with the library so jammed and the dorms so noisy. But with a little ingenuity, you can still find a quiet, deserted spot like the ticket office of the lacrosse team. Or a testimonial dinner for the dean. Or the nearest re cruiting station. You see, friends? When you've got a problem, don't lie down and quit. Attack! Remember: America did not be come the world's greatest producer of milk solids and sorghum by running away from a fight! 1966, Max Shulman The makers of Personna Super Stainless Steel Blades (douhle-edge or Injector style) and Burma-Shave (regu lar or menthol) are pleased (or apprehensive) to bring you another year of Max Shulman's uninhibited, uncen sored column. But if punched cards are dull, the source material for th:m is not. Microfilms of birth and death certificates are shipped to the center from each of the 50 states. Forty-plus states send films of marriage certi ficates and almost 40 ship copies of divorce documents. Workers in the laboratory, most of them hired locally and "the best I've ever seen' according to Dr. Oswals K. Sagen, the National Center's assistant director for profes sional relations, then read the microfilms and code the punched cards. It can be a tedious job. There are, for example, more than 2,000 code numbers for causes of death and it is the laboratory worker's job to translate the physician's oft- ' MIKT BE TIRED AND HUNGffr Ffl&v MR ICH6 WALK. en cryptic comments into the proper number. ONLY PART Processing the vital statis tics of birth, death, marriage and divorce is only part of the National Center's tasks. Since 1956, it has also tabu lated data gathered in the Na tional Health Survey, data based on interviews and actu al physical examinations of scientifically chosen sampks of the U.S. population. In a recent issue of Scien tific American, Dr. Forrest E. Linder stressed the impor tance of reliable data on the nation's health with the com ment that "statistics are the underpinning for programs of action in almost any area of human activity." LindeP listed some of the institutions that have a day- to-day and often economic in- We nl WE'RE RIGHT 111 THE MIDDLE OF OUR me ian ctober argasn aie: Books-And Rocords-And Thoy'vo All been Reduced To About Half-Price!

BRIGHT FUTURE Linder also took a look into the mture of health statis tics: "Perhaps it will' someday be possible to develop a GNP like health index perhaps a 'gross national health deficit' (GNHD) that could blend to gether in one number the days of healthful living lost each year by ths chronically and acutely ill, the days of life lost through death that comes too soon and all the impair ment suffered for lack of medical treatment and ad vice." Meantime, the National Cen ter has a very practical meas ure of the economic impor tance of its work. Each month it prepares a summary of current trends in birth and deaths. If the re port is only , a few hours late, the telephone starts to ring. The baby food and casket manufacturers want to know if they should step up or cut back on production. Goings On By AVON PRIVETTE DTH Entertainment Editor After we fell Wake Forest today, more excitement will abound than imagineable. Of ' course the headliners are the Mamas and Papas whose show at Carmichael begins at eight. Down south campus way, at Chase, a spectacular show and dance starring Maurice Williams and the Zodiacs, the Ojays, Dr. Feelgood and oth ers also begins at eight. Immediately after the game, the fabulous Inmates of Ra leigh will be featured in a free Granville West wing ding in their basement. The Embers Club hosts the, Delmonicos. And Marth's comin'. 'Who's Afraid of Virginia Woofl?" is playing at Raleigh's Ambassador. The accalimed "Morgan" is drawing large crowds at Durham's Rialto. Again the ; Record Bar is featuring many great albums. . The Sandpipers' "Gauntana mera" and Sergio Mendes' "Brazil '66" are the best avail able in mood music. "Panty Raid" is the latest from Doug Clark and the Hot Nuts. Those of you who are famil iar with the sitar sound of Ra vi Shankar will dig "Portrait of a Genius." "The Best of the Animals" and "The Mon kees" are two more swingin' discs. Yesterday's Answer 31.

We know how Caro lina is being affected, but what is happening at other schools? This fall, the University of Massachusetts abolished all women's hours, and the Uni versity of Oregon did like wise for its sophomores and juniors. For several years, sen iors and women over 21 have had this privilege at Oregon. All upperclassmen at the University of Utah are now eligible for keys to the dorms, but only if they achieve a 2.5 average (out of 4.0). The University of Illinois will experiment this fall with un limited hours and key privi leges for seniors. If the sys tem is successful, the loosen ed regulations will extend to juniors and women over 21. Women at the University of Pennsylvania, tired of rushing back to their dormitories at two minutes to twelve be cause they forgot to sign out, have initiated a trial system of telephone signouts for lates. formerly girls had to sign out personally for lates which could extend to 1:30 a.m. oh weekdays and 2:15 on Sat urdays. Now a girl may call her dormitory and request someone to sign her out for those hours. A girl does not have to sign out any time prior to midnight. Although women must re gister their destination with house proctors in case of em ergency, signout cards are placed in an envelope and not opened unless necessary. u .. iiriil HEEL HOSE S-T-R-E-T-C-Il HOSE REGULAR (SHEER flUD LIES!!)
