When Gov. Robert Scott
announced the appointment of the
Warren Commission on Higher
Education, he said he wanted the
commission to find a way to
eliminate the "political infighting"
among the state's 16 universities.
A majority of the commission
members are now on record as
favoring de-consolidation of the
University of North Carolina and
creation of a "super-board" to
oversee all 16 state-supported
institutions of higher education.
Will this move really take the
politics out of higher education in
Noorth Carolina? '
Hardly.
Look at California, a state which
has a system similar to the one
proposed by the Warren
Commission.
Members of the committee
admitted several months ago that
they were considering a system
similar to the one in California.
Now they have proposed such a
system for North Carolina.
- While educators may praise the
California system for the fine
academic institutions it has
developed, many others in that
state are" criticizing the system's
Board of Regents for being little
more than political puppets of Gov.
Ronald Regan and the state
legislature.
Instructors in the California
system must always have an eye
toward the state house before
delivering lectures,

Remember the last time you had to
ask for an extension on a paper?
You wait for the professor as a
front-row student is saying "How's little
Jimmy doing with the mumps and would
you mind looking over the first draft of
this paper which is due in almost a month
and you know how time flies," and
you're wondering if the teacher noticed
that you came in late but hell, that's only
because you'd forgotten where the
classroom was during your three-week
sabbatical from the course.
Well, that kind of stuff is almost over
now that the summer is closingin-and
where is the strike now that we really
need it?
The beginning of summer usually
brings a lot of bad news about
graduation, but if you plan your exams
just right you can sleep right through
every distortion and lie the normal half
asleep person must endure. '
One story every newspaper in the
country will carry about May 28 will read
something like "High Administration
Official (Mitchell, Hope, Agnew, Graham
or Laird) Addresses College
Commencement." What the headline
they think the Governor wants
them to act, not in the way which
would be best for their campus.
Students find themselves unable
to publish uncensored campus
newspapers and yearbooks and
intimidated by masses of state
police when they gather to show
their opposition to the war, the
national administration or policies
of the Board of Regents.
In short, while many people who
attend California Universities leave
them with excellent educations,
they have been educated to do only
what the Regents and the Governor
will let them do.
The California system stifles
debate on the campuses. The
Governor used the campuses to
show the right-wing voters in this
state that he's against God-less
communists and for motherhood,
apple pie, and flag and Ronald
Regan. ' ,
California's university system is
controlled by politicians and is run
with political ambitions playing
major roles in the decision making.
Education becomes a
subordinate consideration.
Under the consolidated
university system in use in North
Carolina since the 1930s, education
has been the major consideration in
all decision making. Granted,
politics have played a role, but they
always were kept subordinate to
the primary purpose providing the
best education possible for the least
expense to the students.
But it now appears that the
politics have won out.
. The system which people such as
Dr. Frank Porter Graham, O. Max
Gardner, Gordon Gray and William
Friday have worked so hard to
perfect has been dealt a death-blow
by the Warren Commission.
The commission's proposals will
encounter some sharp opposition
on the floor of the General
Assembly, and supporters of the
University undoubtedly will fight
hard against the proposals.
But the General Assembly has a
history of opposition to the
University of North Carolina. They
resent Chapel Hill, and many
legislators will be more than willing
to see higher education in this state
crippled by the politcally-orien-tated
"super-board" system.
The proposal will help
some like Leo Jenkins of East
Carolina-who have already made
educational activities a political
stepping-stone, but it can do little
to help the University of North
Carolina continue to be the
outstanding state university in the
South.

won't tell you is that the college involved
was the Oral Roberts Close Cover Before
Striking Extension University.
Another standard end-of-school year
feature will be done by some Harvardish
lout (Arthur Schlesinger Jr. comes to
mind right away) who'll take the trouble
to interview three students in his graduate
level seminar theory course (all from
different parts of Westchester County and
all graduates of different Ivy League
schools in order to insure a good
cross-section of American youth). After
doing this he will proceed to define "The
Campus Mood-1971" for some
magazine like "New Republic" or
"Saturday Review."
But things like that are just a minor
nuisance compared to the personal
annoyances involved in surviving summer.
In order to provide the UNC student
with a brief outline of what may (or may
not) happen'to him during the summer of
'71, a computer has been rented-the very
same computer that supplied Bob Hope
with the monologue that brought down
the house at the Oscar ceremonies a few
weeks back.

provide you with frank and honest
answers to your questions on human

Almost every person in our society has
been a victim of misinformation and

sexuality. There still exist many fallacies,
fallacies that can only breed unhappiness
unless the facts are disseminated. Here are
but just a few.
Alcohol is a sexual stimulant. False.

sexual functioning as much as it will blur

Registration drive
Chapel Hill liberals have been
screaming ever since the 1971 North
Carolina General Assembly enacted ' a
reapportionment plan moving Orange
County into the Second District of L.H.
Fountain. No longer will we be
represented by Nick Gahfianakis, but by
a conservative, rural Democrat. The cries
need not be so loud.
From an examination of the 1970
Census data, just released, it seems
possible to elect a liberal, black democrat
to Congress from the Second District.
.The new district, composed of Orange
County and 1 1 rural, mainly Democratic
districts to the north and east of here, is
39.8 per cent black. Of the voting age
population, on May 2, 1972 (date of the
Democratic primary for Congress) 13.8
per cent will be 18,19, 20, or 21 years of
age. Several thousand Chapel Hill liberals
must also be added to the total.
There will be 306,000 potential voters
in this district, a majority of whom are
either young, black, or liberal. A quarter
of the 18-21 age group are UNC-Chapel
Hill students, and several thousand more
are older UNC students. Not all young are
liberal, of course.

May 26 Student returns home,
without job for summer, to be told by
parents that "things are really tight
around here," that "things aren't getting
any better." Student also informed , by
parents that "Nixon's doing a helluva
job."
May 27-Student applies for job;as
dishwasher at local restaurant. "Come
back with a dress and IH hire you as a
waitress," quips quick-witted restaurant
manager.
May 28-Student reads both Stag and
True magazine while waiting in

May 29-Student gets job with
construction company. Is assigned fo

but the alcohol-induced sexual failure in
the man is more pronounced. Taken in
large quantities, alcohol blocks the
neutral pathways that govern erection,
causing temporary impotence that cannot
be overcome, even with a very strong
sexual desire.
A woman under the influence is
capable of intercourse but her chances of
achieving an orgasm are greatly
diminished because of the alcohol's
deading effect on all nerve centers.
Alcohol taken in moderate amounts,
however, may reduce fears and guilt
feelings that would otherwise interfere
with sexual performance and sexual
enjoyment. It can also dull sensitivity a
bit, so as to allow intercourse to last
longer.
A large penis is important to a
woman's ' sexual gratification, and the
man with a large penis is more sexually
potent. False. The size of the penis has
practically nothing at all to do with a
man's ability to satisfy a woman sexually.

In the Democratic primary, the figures
potentially look even better. Even though
this district is overwhelmingly
Democratic, the young, the black, and
the liberals have an even greater tendency
to be Democrats, increasing their power
in the primary.
The problem? None of the young are
registered, and not many of the black.
Pressures against black registration in the
district outside Chapel Hill are high. More
importantly, students are not allowed to
register in Chapel Hill.
Since the apportionment of
congressional and N.C. General Assembly
seats is based on U.S. Government census
data listing students where they attend
school, a refusal to let students vote there
will result in a violation of the Supreme
Court's one-man, one-vote doctrine. The
entire reapportionment might be
overturned, especially for the General
Assembly.
Students, who live here at least nine
months a year, and a majority of whom
live in apartments or houses, should be
considered residents of Chapel Hill. Cries
that they will vote immense bond issues

August 4-Student discovers parents
belong to 55 majority who would turn

narcotics laws.
August 5 -Student resolves dilemma
posed by construction truck bumper
sticker. Student chooses second
alternative.
Exceptions to this are: When there is
the psychological influcenee of a
woman's thinking that penile size does
make a difference; when sexual pleasure
is reduced because the penis is too large
and causes the woman pain; or when the
penis is so pathologically small that
penetration and pelvic contact cannot be
maintained.
The vaginal walls have few nerve
endings, so that the depth of penetration
is of no significance. Therefore, the size
cf the penis is in no way related to the
sex.nal gratification experienced by the
woman.
A hallmark of complete sexual
compatibility is synchronized orgasm.
False. The vaginal spasm of the female
will frequently speed the male to orgasm,
thus giving the impression that
synchronization has oc cured. It is enough
that both partners are achieving orgasm,
and synchronization is most likely a
function of mutual practice.
Marijuana is an aphrodisiac False. If

confuse the question, as well as being
spurious. No one asks a new professor if
he will remain here. Students should have
the same right as any other person in this
country to declare their place of
residency, as long as they have met the 30
day residency required by the North
Carolina constitution. If they register
elsewhere, they are denied absentee
ballots in all primaries and municipal
elections.
To elect a liberal, black Congressman
in this district means that students must
register to vote in Chapel Hill and
Carrboro and a massive registration drive
must be conducted in the other counties
of the district to get blacks on the voting
books.
Your rights: If you try to register to
vote in Chapel Hill or Orange County,
and are turned down, you have until
noon the next day to appeal to the full
County Board of Elections. Ask the
registrar. Already, Jerry Dean, a Davidson
student,, has been rejected at steps one
and two and is prepared to take his case
higher. The results of his case may effect
a great many elections. In Chapel Hill,
several cases have reached the County
-board. .
A voter registration drive can begin
this October 2, after in-state students
have completed 30 days of residency. Out
of state students should not register in
their home state, but rather wait until fall
and register here.
,Out of state freshmen entering in
August, and graduate students entering in
the fall are ineligible for the May 1972
primary, since there is a one-year
residency rule for out of state voting.
This too, has been, challenged, in an
Orange County case pending in federal
court. The third of next year's senior
class at Chapel Hill High eligible to vote
in May, 1972 must also be registered.
While students wilL swing a lot of
weight in the Congressional voting, it will
be possible to elect a student to the N.C.
General Assembly. Our Assembly district,
with two seats, is Orange and Chatham
Counties. There are 62,000 potential
voters in the district, and 12,000 student
votes in the Democratic primary could
conceivably (and probably) be a majority.
If students voted for other students, or if
there was a joint Chapel Hill area liberal
and student slate, there seems to be little
doubt the two would win the primary.
This would give students a real voice in
Raleigh. Candidates for the N.C. House
must be 2 1 .
A joint UNC, Duke, North Carolina
Central candidate could conceivably win
a state Senate seat, although the
candidate must be 25. The Senate District
is Orange, Durham, and Person counties,
with 152,000 potential voters.
the definition of aphrodisiac is considered
to be a substance which when taken will
regularly excite sexual desire, them
marijuana is not one.
However, marijuana is one of the
many psychoactive drags in which the set
and setting are important. If a person is
set for sexual excitement and if the
setting is conducive to sexual fantasy,
chances are likely that sexual feelings wul
be heightened by marijuana.
Marijuana causes distortion of
sensations-sound, taste, vision. Sexual
sensations can also be distorted and
heightened. Commonly, marijuana
reduces anxiety and inhibitions while
producing a sense of well-being. Also
many people report that under the
influence of marijuana there is a
concentration on one set of
sensations one of which can well be
sexual.
Intercourse is dangerous during the
mensr-ual period. False. Menstruation is
as natural a bodily function as breathing
and the circulation of blood. Since it is in
no way a sickness, there is no medical or
physiological reason why a menstruating
woman should curtail or eliminate any of
her normal activities.
There is no basis for limiting sexual
activity at this time. In some women,
there may be scant lubrication during the
menses, but this can be compensated for
with a lubricant such as KY jelly. There
are even advantages to having intercourse
at this time for some women. Intercourse
culminating in orgasm for the woman
may relieve the discomfort of menstrual
cramps and the possibility of pregnancy is
virtually eliminated at this time.

Letter
T.A. story
erroeeoes,
readers say.
To the Editor: U
The DTH story of May I concerning a
lack of T.A. posts for graduate students
in the Chemistry Department contained
what we believe to be several erroneous
statements, and reflected a
misunderstanding of the purpose of the
meeting between faculty and graduate
students in the Department held April 26.
The meeting did not sufficiently clear
up "the whole matter." After the meeting
it remained unclear whether the 45
graduate students expected this fall
(about 15 more than in recent entering
classes) were the result of a deviation
from the normal fraction of students who
choose to accept T.A.'s offered them by
the Department, or the result of prior
planning for a large class by the Graduate
Studies Committee. The result of this
large entering class is, in either case, the
shortage of T.A. positions reported in
your paper. The budget of $140,000 for
T.A. support for next year (and the
resultant number of T.A. posts) is
essentially unchanged from this year.
The statistics provided by Dr. H.H.
Dearman, Director of Graduate Studies,
at the start of the meeting seemed to
suggest that the large entering class was
the result of a "statistical freak," but
subsequent comments suggested that
certain faculty members were not
displeased with the larger entering class,
and that, in fact, it met projected figures
set in 1965.
The reason behind the large entering
class is a sore point for the 27 graduate
students who received letters setting dates
for the termination of their T.A. support,
letters which send them out into a job
market where professional positions for
Ph.D. chemists are in short supply. Also
disturbing to many were the criteria used
to determine those who will receive
T.A.'s, the fact that several graduate
students are left without support for the
second summer session of this year, and
the facts that faculty members in general
were not notified about the letter sent to
the 27 students and that they were not
consulted when the size of the entering
class vas decided upon.
We are sure that discussions
concerning the T.A. situation will
continue among faculty and graduate
students for some time to come.
