Tj n n "P o n 9 LfiMMey The refusal of Vice Chancellor Joe Eagles to honor a requisition for Daily Tar Heel printing while paying three requisitions for residence college parties is only one example of the improprieties that Opinions of The Daily Tar Heel are expressed on its editorial page. AH unsigned editorials are the opinions of the editor and the staff. Letters cad columns represent, only the opinions of the individual contributors. Tom Gooding, Editor Monday, February 8, 1971 Letters and members Mi criticism To the Editor: We, the undersigned, in response to Mr. Conway's letter in the January 13th issue of the DTH, would like to ask him and the entire University m one question. What do you expect a million-dollar band for $1.50? It seems that no one will stand up for a student organization that does the best possible job, considering the complete lack of any full-time assistants for our Director of Bands (since we are no longer a part of the Music Department); the lack of funds to purchase uniforms or instruments; or minimal respect from the students or the administration! First of all, we would like to inform the administration of the wonderful bargain they have in Major "Y." At the University of South Carolina, the director of bands has four full time assistant band directors, a music arranger, and a percussion teacher. At the University of Maryland, the director of bands has two full time assistants. Major Yesulaitis has no full time assistants. He does the entire job himself with the aid of a few interested band members. Second, Mr. Conway mentions our poor appearance. Considering the fact that our uniforms were purchased in 1964 and we are using Army surplus instruments, we feel as though we do our best in representing the school. Yes, we do need new instruments and uniforms...but where would we gef the moriey? Last year in the budget session of the Student Legislature, the band program was cut out entirely for this year. It is interesting to note that at most major universities, the band programs obtain the major part of their funds through their respective student legislatures. Here at Carolina last year, the Student Legislature deemed that their annual stipend of $250 was too much to spend on this campus organization. So, Mr. Conway, where will we obtain the funs necessary for new uniforms?

That denial was an act of financial censorship against the paper. Mr. Eagles did not attempt to tell the paper it couldn't print of worik you would be so philanthropic as to donate money. All in all, even if no one else has any pride or respect for this hardworking organization, we of the Marching Tarheel Band have a distinct disdain for these persons who arbitrarily ridicule our efforts without realizing the adverse circumstances. Frankly, it hurts to have all our hard work and efforts laughed off as being a "disgrace to every self-respecting Tarheel." Allen Reep RalphHill Pat Murphy Al Raynor Tom Thutt 430 Avery Reader questions student funds edit To The Editor: Your editorial in the Friday DTH concerning transferral of student funds would have been an embarrassment in the shoddiest of high school newspapers, but in a college publication that is highly esteemed by journalists throughout this country, it was inexcusable. Formerly, you managed with questionable success to conceal your cheap histrionics and immature opinions behind a facade of responsibility and maturity. With this editorial, even that facade is gone, and you have exposed yourselves for what you really . are a group of shallow, egotistic, hyperopinionated children who have been given a rather expensive toy to play with. Your tactics are abhorrent enough to responsible journalists, but they are incorrigible when disseminated throughout a community of supposedly enlightened and sophisticated students, scholars and townspeople. Don't you realize that you are making a laughingstock out of not only a once-great newspaper but also of the entire student body at UNC? Your lack of maturity, responsibility, and evaluative objectivity is always painfully evident and a source of acute embarrassment to all concerned. I have every reason to believe you have this lack with that group of petty, infantile politicoes known, rather optimistically, as Student Legislature. I consider Tommy Bello little more than a cunning, undisciplined and spoiled child playing with-and misusing-power he should have never had in he first place. His rude and discourteous attitude towards the UNC administration is insulting to the entire community, and his trivial, shallow idealism is merely laughable. I sincerely regret that the mass of students and faculty here must be identified with an embarrassingly naive newspaper and a childish bunch of self-styeld student leaders. I shall feel infinitely more at ease when I know that my money is being channelled through legitimate university outlets, rather than handled in a most suspect and devious manner by "leaders" of your ilk. Mark Keating 1402 Granville South Carolina infirmary fees are too high To The Editor: "You pay because you belong." This was the response given by Dean Cathey to arguments against the infirmary fee of $20. Many universities make the health fee optional to students who already have adequate coverage, such as Blue Cross or Blue Shield. Many also provide optometrist services. UNC does neither. Many students pay twice for the same thing. Mark A. Noblett ICOLIiii anything. He knows that is beyond his power. However, he did make it plainly clear that he controls the purse strings, and no newspaper can continue publishing without money to pay the printer. Of course, this was the very act student government officials and administrators promised would not happen. President Friday assured students on Monday of last week that "there would be no place in this process for any type of veto of the utilization of student fees." The first Dreacn of faith occurred when Mr. Eagles informed students that the new system of disbursing fees could not go into effect until Student Activities Fund accounts have been closed out. by Lana Starnes and Dr. Takey Crist Question: I've been told by numerous sources that a girl will gain about eight pounds when she goes on the pill. In fact, my sister gained exactly eight pounds when she began taking it. What causes this weight gain water retention,, maybe? Signed, H.D. Dear H.D.: Yes, weight gain may be a problem with some girls on the pilL Weight gain is thought to be due to a1 number of factors. One reason is that the : hormones in the pill causes the individual to retain salt and with salt they retain water. The second factor is thought to be due to protein anabolic properties of some of the agents. Although fluid.... retention and weight gain are probable in some patients these are usually self-Hmited.

WHAT A EEAUTFUE IPEA '3 Howie Carr 111 health always plagued his family: seven of his grandmothers died during one short semester. Diarrhea often struck him in the middle of an exam, forcing him to spend agonizing minutes alone behind closed stalls as others labored. He had an incurable case of dropsy when it came to holding his pen during a test. Sometime before dawn on January 28 Michael- "Mattress" Mulrooney passed from the Chapel Hill scene, leaving behind only an unclaimed Aquaduct win ticket, an RDU baggage marker, and a battered envelope with the admonition "Not to be Opened Until the End of Drop-Add, Feb. 1971." In the envelope was Mattress' last will and testament, a fact that assumes importance when you consider that he was the laziest student to ever attend UNC-CH. Forthwith his final comments entitled, "How to Succeed at Chapel Hill' And Not Get Caught:" Being of sound mind and body J naturally have never told anyone about my sundry depredations and assorted ripoffs. Rumor -has it that there is an Honorably Code on this campus, but it can't be verified. (By the way, am I overly paranoid or are David Eisenhower M t i n 1 vti, -s t i I E t I J 3 s- Eagles said he didn't care whether Student Government spent the funds or transferred them to the University trust fund. Of course, it doesn't matter which method is used; they botn result in Student Government being financially bankrupt and dependent on the administration for its money. Then came the decision by Eagles to honor the requisitions for parties while denying one for Daily Tar Heel printing. The onlv justification for the discrepancy was the existence of a "prior contract for the residence college parties." However, the administration ignored the fact that the DTH has two prior existing contracts for printing. Thus, the reason was the end of the first year most patients' weights are similar to their pre-treatment weights. A significant decrease in the amount of fluid weight may occur with a decrease in the amount of estrogen in the pill. In experience with patients the average weight gain has been three to five pounds. Weights greater than that are most often due to the hand-mouth syndrome. Question: I know this may be a really dumb question but I'm not very experienced when it comes to sex and I've always wondered about this. When ever I've heard about climaxes I also heard about how great it is to have one at the same time your partner experiences one. How can you tell when your partner has one? Signed, Ignorant. Dear Ignorant: Please read an excellent paper by Ervin M. Cushner in the Journal of Medical Aspects of Human Sexuality, t ? t AMP HR5 Ttt&TYPfCAU HO VOUR5J TEAOlR IS (? and Tom Bellow really one and the same person?) DROP-ADD. "Turn on, tune in, drop-add." Timothy Leary. To begin our study of an average semester at UNC we start with drop-add. There are a number of theories about how to survive this depressing, semi-annual phenomenon. The most common fallacy would have you go to the departments where the lines are shortest. This is a terrible mistake. Why do you think no one is in the line? UNC students are not ignorant. Stupid maybe, but no ignorant, no. Another inccorect way to pick courses is to find someone with, say, the biggest monogram you ever saw on an alpaca sweater, or the shortest crewcut of the 20th century, and then follow him around hoping that he can lead you to the promised land. I followed one of those guys around once for two hours, and the only place I ended up was the Remedial English Club of Chapel Hill. GIMME COURSE. "He was happy to escape to the nourishing world of college - even if it was only the Univerisity of North Carolina." -Monarch Edition, "You Can't Go Home Again." There are a number of courses in this university , that, for lack of a better word are referred to merely an excuse io deny funds to the DTH. Mr. Eagles has long fought both student interests and the DTH. Last summer when Student Government was trying to set up a print shop to reduce costs for the paper Mr. Eagles threatened to testify in court in an attempt to keep the paper out of the student print shop. Since part of the paper's printing bill goes to Student Graphics, the print shop Eagles opposed, he was able not only to attack the financial credibility of the paper but also of that print shop. We are asking President Friday to keep his promise that there would be no veto power over these funds and to make sure his subordinates adhere to the policy. July, 1969. Anything we would say in this column would take away from the excellent work done- by Dr. Cushner in his paper concerning orgasm. You may find the article in the Medical School Library. Question: I need the answer to a question. Is it possible for a girl to become pregnant if she has missed two periods before intercourse? I have never been regular, and missed the last two before having intercourse. Could I be pregnant? Thank you for your help.-Signed, P.C. Dear P.C: To answer your question about your being pregnant we are assuming that you have been having unprotected intercourse. If so, the answer is yes. We would like to suggest that you go to thejnfirmarythe Health Education Clinic or a private physician and take an jjarly morning urine sample for a 1 3TUPEMrfN THAT CUS$ Rri I N Cr R STAY as "gimmie" (as in 'an A.') Usually started by a group of idealistic grad students, they attempt to inject some relevance into the lives of undergraduates. Ususally all they inject is a shot in the arm to an undergraduate's fading QPA. The very nature of gimme courses dictates a high mortality rate, and the smart student will take them immediately. Suppose you waited until this semester to take Poli Sci 95 A. You see what I mean? THE RULING CLASS. "Scratch a professor and find a pig." - Jerry Rubin. Have you ever noticed how, at the beginning of a semester, approximately 100 per cent of your teachers tell you how much they despise the grading scale, yet over the course of the semester there is approximately 0 per cent change in the grading scale. Reason tells us that either somebody is fibbing or my abbacus is on the blink. Whatever you think of them, you've got to do business with the faculty. For some people, the best thing to do is sit at the front of the class and pepper the professors with "Sir-." and Don't you think what Joyce really meant to say was..." If you start making comments, though, you run the risk of (1) exposing o .on y Unfortunately, this is only a temporary move since as long as administrators like Mr. Eagles have any discretionary power over the funds there will be harassment. All future editors and student body presidents will have to contend with the whims of Eagles when making policy decisions. Thus we hope the surplus is never transferred under his office even if it means the complete denial of student fees to students. The DTH has already made plans to cut back in the number of pages printed to ease the financial burden on advertising revenue and currently existing student surpluses. We feel it is better to have no money than to have to pay such a price for the money. pregnancy test. The answer can be obtained in less than two hours. At the same time a visit to your physician may uncover some specific cause for your irregularity and enorrhea (missed period), such as emotional upset, change in climate or endocrine disturbance. Question: I have recently finished reading "The Sensuous Woman" by "J". I was shocked and repulsed by what she had to say in the book, especially the chapters dealing with female masturbation. I was wondering what the medical opinion is concerning this topic. What is your opinion of this book?-Signed, V.K. Dear V.K.: We have taken a short survey of people who have read "The Sensuous Woman" and these are their responses: (1) great, (2) to each his own, (3) variety is the spice of life, (4) I don't believe it, (5) this is sinful, and (6) You'll never get me to do things like that. The book has been reprinted for the 24th time so we think this has something to say about its popularity. Whether this has something to say about why people read it, whether it's for curiosity or content or merit has yet to be ascertained. As far as the chapter on masturbation please read Elesnor Hamilton's book "Sex Before Marriage" for a comparison. We think as in all problems with individual sexuality you should do what ever you feel comfortable doing. Frankly our opinion shouldn't sway you one way or the other. Question: This will be a difficult question to answer in your column but please try to answer my question if at all possible. Please explain anal sex to me. I don't understand what satisfaction a woman could possibly get from this and really don't see how a man could enjoy it. Signed, Puzzled. Dear Puzzled: Anal sex, in short, is in reference to the use of the anus for copulation. According to our best sources ("Human Sexuality" by McCary), it is seldom practiced in heterosexual contacts except for occasional experimentation. Some authors report that 20 percent of male homosexuals use this technique as a method of sexual intercourse. As to what sort of satisfaction a woman could possibly get from anal sex may we suggest that you read "The Sensuous Woman" by "J." Questions should be addressed to: Lana Starnes and Dr. Takey Crist in care of The Daily Tar Heel, Student Union, Chapel Hill, N.C 27514. your ignorance, and (2) exposing, your shall we say inconsistent, attendance. Moreover, one negative remembrance is worth 100 positive ones, so keep your mouth shut and your eyeballs peeled on all the tests. THE PURSUIT OF HEAVINESS. "Look at those bums." Richard Nixon. In dealing with your fellow students, there are a number of people to watch for, and if found, to avoid. The first kind of student to avoid is someone who "Knows" what he's going to do after graduation. This breed can usually be found either at lectures on "Five Keys to Success: Why I Chose to be a Brain Surgeon instead of a Roto-Rooter Salesman," or exchanging anecdotes about the C3rd catalogues at Wilson Library. An even mroe depressing class of student, dedicated to the pursuit of heaviness, come to prominence in the last two or three years. He went ot France last summer to study the worker-student alliance, and you remember him as the guy who sat behind y.u at "Brewster McGoud" and who droned on about new cinematic techniques and did you notice that one of Shaft's eyes was brown and the other was blue.
