NORFOLK, Va. - The "morning-after
pill," a new pregnancy prevention
treatment, has proven 100 percent
successful in recent tests at the UNC
School of Medicine, UNC gynecologist
Dr. Takey Crist said here Tuesday.
Crist, assistant professor of obstetrics
and gynecology at UNC, and Cecil
FarTington, a third-year UNC medical
school student and Crist's partner in the
study, addressed the Fourth District
conference of the Obstetrics and
Gynecology Association, meeting at the
Golden Triangle Motel in Norfolk.
In the UNC study, 77 women who had
had unprotected intercourse during the
"high-risk period" halfway between
menstrual cycles were treated with
I'remarin - four tablets three times a day
for five days, Crist said.
There were no pregnancies in any of
the patients in the study.
Premarin, a compound made from a
mixture of estrogen derived from the
urine of pregnant mares, prevents the
fertilized egg from being implanted in the
woman.
"In this way, the treatment is different
from an abortion procedure because in an
abortion the egg is expelled after it has
been implanted," Crist said in a telephone
interview.
The morning-after pill, available at the
UNC Student Health Center and at the
emergency room at N.C. Memorial
Hospital, is not a method of
contraception. Crist said.

Senate Majority Leader Mike Mansfield
said Tuesday the United States must
"take a constrained view of the world"
and enter a new era of human surival
and well-being.
Mansfield said the I'.S. is paying
exorbitant "billions of dollars" to
maintain foreign policies that are out of
date.
The Democrat from Montana spoke in
Memorial Hall before about 1.600
students.
"We must become extremely wary of

"We only prescribe it as a last resort
and will continue to do so until further
tests have been made," he added.
Crist's study results were released
simultaneously with a report by Dr.
Lucile Kirtland Kuchera of the Ann
Arbor, Mich., Veterans Administration
Hospital and the University of Michigan
Health Service.
In her study, reported in the current
issue of the Journal of the American
Medical Association, Dr. Kuchera tested
1,000 women with a synthetic
morning-after pill, diethylstilbestrol.
None of the women became pregnant.
Crist explained that both the synthetic
and natural drugs are based on the use of
the estrogen hormone. Dr. Kuchera's
synthetic drug was administered in 50
mg. doses for five days and his natural
treatment in 30 mg. doses for five days,
Crist said.
Crist said the higher doses are often
followed by nausea and dizziness and
their effectiveness so far has not been
different from the lower doses.
The Crist-Farrington team has been
gathering information and data for their
study for the last two years and plans to
continue, with a larger number of
patients.
Crist said that 42 percent of the 77
patients tested in the UNC study were
victims of tearing condoms. Of the others
tested, some had been sexually assaulted
or had problems with breaking
diaphragms.
Pioneer research on the morning-after
pill was done by Dr. J. McLean Morris of
Yale University in 1966, Crist added.

foreign expenditures when the stability of
our nation and others is not directly
threatened." Mansfield said. "We stand
now on the threshold of an era where the
motivations are those of preventing war."
He said funds saved in promoting peace
could be rechanelled into the country's
cultural needs such as population and
pollution control.
He reiterated the need to set a date for
complete troop withdrawal from
Vietnam. If troops remain there, he said,
a situation simii.ir to Korea will result.

RALEIGH-The legislative corr.niiiee
plan for restructuring higher education
under a strong governing board was sent
to the N.C. House and Senate Tuesday by
their respective higher education
committees.
The proposal, backed by Gov. Bob
Scott in a speech to the General
Assembly as it convened in special
session, will face debate and possible
amendment on the floor of the Senate
and House today.
A set of amendments to the committee
bill were offered in the House Higher
Education meeting by Rep. Jak Stevens
(D -Buncombe ). The amendments,
backed by the Consolidated University
supporters, were defeated by a 13- vote
in the House committee.
The amendments called for retaining
the present 100-man size for the board of
trustees under a system to avoid "any

RALEIGH Supporters of the
Consolidated University (CU) adopted a
new set of pioposais Tuesday in the light
over deconsolidation in the N.C. General
Assembly.
A new set of amendments to the
committee-approved bill was offered by
Rep. Jack Stevens (D-Buncombe) and
Sen. Gordon P. Allen (D-Pearson) during
the opening meeting of the special session
of the legislature here.
The proposals were agreed to by
University supporters, although Rep. Ike
Andrews (D-Chatham), a leader of the
CU legislative supports, denied that
they had been involved in the drafting of
the amendments.
"Yes, I think I will support them,
though they are really not our
amendments," Andrews said.
The amendments failed their first test
of support in the House Higher Education
Ends ban on Sunday sale
Aldermen repeal alcohol law
by Norman Black
Staff Writer
The Chapel Hill Board of Aldermen
repealed a local ordinance Monday
banning the sale of beer and wine on
Sundays.
The aldermen repealed Section 3-2 of
the Town Code of Ordinances which
prohibits the sale of beer and wine
between 1 p.m. Sunday and 7 a.m.
Monday.
Under a new state law passed by the
197 1 General Assembly, the only
establishments which could come under
town control were those which did not
possess a brown-bagging license.
A majority of the aldermen thought it
was discriminatory to control only those
establishments without the
brown-bagging license.
"We have to realize that beer is for sale
on Sundays in Chapel Hill all we're
the involvement ends lock, stock and
barrel." he said. "We will keep pressing
until the last helicopter leaves "
"The Vietnamese war has been drained
of meaning for this nation." he said. "But
the continuation of a mistaken war by
other means could be brought about by
United States interference there.
"However, it would not be m the
United State's best interests if we ignore
what is happening on the other side of
the w orhl."

the board
whiwh would hold the real
power, would be expanded from 15 to 32
members.
The amendments a!o eliminate any
gubernatorial involvement in the
appointments to the central governing
board or to the local boards for each
campus.
They are similar to proposals put
forward by Consolidated University
President William C. Friday.
The House committee then turned
down a series of amendments offered by
supporters of the regional and black
universities. The proposals were designed
to guarantee the local boards for each
campus some specific and uniform
powers.
No recorded vote was taken in the
House committee on the legislative
committee bill but it was approved by a
voice vote, by approximately the same
vote as the Stevens amendments.
The Senate Higher Education
Committee never considered the
Committee Tuesday by a 13-8 vote. The
amendments are expected to be
introduced on the floor of the House and
the Senate during the debate today.
The Stevens Allen amendments are
..ituilai to the pioposals advocated by
Consolidated University President William
C. Friday and endorsed by the CU Board
of Trustees.
There are several important differences
between the amendments and Friday's
position. The amendments are a move
toward compromise with the governor's
plans as approved by the House and
Senate Higher Education Committee
Tuesday.
Under the amendments the 100-man
size of the Board of Trustees would be
retained as is called for by Friday.
However, the Executive Committee of
the Board, which actually exercises most
of the power, would have 32 members
under the amendments, the same number
as Scott's whole proposed governing
board.
doing is discriminating as to who is
allowed to sell it," said Alderman Joe
Nassif. "Students have been going to
Creedmore for a long time, and now they
can go to Durham as well."
The repeal of the ordinance eliminates
all town laws dealing with beer sales and
leaves the sales under state control only.
In short, any establishment holding a
license may now sell beer and wine on
Sunday after 1 p.m.
The new state law prohibits sales from
1 a.m. until 1 p.m. Sunday and from 1
a.m. until 7 a.m. Eastern Standard Time
on weekdays and Saturdays.
In other business, the board heard
Chapel Hill Police Chief W.D. Blake warn
that officers are going to begin issuing
citations rather than warnings to bicycle
riders violating state laws on Chapel Hill
streets and highways.
Alderman George Coxhead told the
board last week he had received several

But chances for passage were viewed m
only a mildly optimistic light bv Rep. Ike

UNC Trustees Executive Committee.

Under the amendments, the regional
universities would provide 15 of the
members of the Executive Committee, as
would the present CU board. The
deciding votes would be held by the
Chairman and Secretary of the Executive
Committee. These two officials would be
elected by the combined boards of all 16
state institutions.
Under the Stevens-Allen plan, the
trustees from the central board could
serve on the local "boards of overseers." a
deviation from both the Friday and Scott
plans.
The amendments call for the formation
of a planning committee to function from
Jan. 1, 1972 to July 1, 1972 to work for
the implementation of the merger. On
July 1, 1972 . the merger of all the
universities under the one board w ould be
effected.
The planning committee would have
equal representation from the
Consolidated University and from the
regional universities.

The aldermen agreed with Blake that

bikes come under the same regulations as
motor vehicles when they use the street,"
Blake said.
The police will issue citations for

asked the legislators to adopt
it.
"It will do the -ob that so badlv needs

crowded House Chamber.
He said the bill removes tate higher
education "from the political thicket"
and it "preserves the dignity, and honor
and well-being of at! institutions."
He denied Ji-i.it hlak institutions
would be phased out under the new
system and that the powers of local
boards should be spelled out m the state.
Scott also added a lengthy section t
his prepared text at the last minute to
criticize the Stevens-Mien amendments.
He said the 100-man board looked at
first like a '"reasonable proposal" and
such a board would "serve no really
useful purpose it would be a hindrance
rather than a help."
Answering other criticisms of the bill,
the governor called for the merging of all
institutions in a single step.
The provisions of the bill calling for
lump-sum budgeting, which have been
criticized by some, were endorsed
strongly by Scott. He defended the
provisions as already being used by the
public school system and the community
colleges.
"This new comprehensive budget
proposal will provide a degree of
professional judgment and administrative
flexibility which is very much needed,"
he said.

The University requested an agreement
several weeks ago when Carrboro asked
that developer Bobby Roberts be allowed

Chapel Hill owns and operates the
sewer utility, but the University makes an
annual contribution to the town for the
service and splits the cost of capital

According to Town Manat'er Robert
