Americans spend over sri3 billion a year on a "potpourri” of public and private health pro grams, according to the report.

C. - South Carolina State College is par ticipating in a pilot program de signed to revitalize physics courses for the freshman and sophomore years. Dr. Homer Wilkins, program coordinator for the project, vis ited the campus as part of a 20-college tour to assess the programs of the schools in volved in the program. The project is sponsored by the Regional Education Laboratory for the Carolinas and Virginia under a grant from the National al effort. Local successes would also stimulate needed national reforms. The report urged the local urban coalitions that have been formed in 48 cities to establish health task forces. But the study made clear that the findings and recommendations could be used in whole or part by any local community organization con cerned with the quality of health care. These would include local chambers of commerce, labor and religious groups, local businessmen and workers’ organizations. Science Foundation. While at the college recently, Dr. Wilkins talked with mem bers of the administration and the physics department, toured ttie campus and sat in on some physics classes He is attempting to complete Ins introductory tours of the participating colleges prior to an Oct. 31 conference at Hol lins College, Roanoke, Va. The theme of the conference will be "Physics for the Non- Science Major.” Among the findings which lie will report at the conference js that most colleges are doing very little for the non-science major in the held of physics, Dr. Wilkins said. In the past, he explained, physicists have enjoyed the feeling that their field was too difficult for tin average per son, in it they are now coming to realize that the public is being sold short by its lack of under standing of physics.

Building Bill Cosby fired the managers of his segregated Apartment Buildings, according to his attorney quoted in the November issue of SEPIA now on newsstands. The one-page wrap-up of reactions to its shocking August article starts off by referring to the cliche about the pen being mightier than the sword. "Although not particularly handy with a sword, SEPIA’s mighty pen fell gently upon Bill Cosby in the August issue so: owning apartment buildings in Brooklyn which managers refused to rent to soul brothers and sisters." Headlines flashed across newspaper/from one end of this country to the other about the disclosure. Cosby's Los Ange les attorney spoke to the author PREGNANCY PLANNING AND HEALTH BY MRS. GLORLA RIGGSBEE Dear Mrs. Riggsbee: I am 20 years old an my husband is 21. We have one baby six weeks old. Usually rny hus band is reasonable and very understanding, but w hen it comes to birth control, he in sists It is up to the wife to use contraceptives. Can you tell me of some way I can convince him it’s a two-way affair? Also, tell me if you recommend the va ginal foam as an effective me thod of contraception. Thank you. MRS. D. L. Dear Mrs. D. L.: Os course birth control should be a two-way affair. Just as it. takes two people to "make" a baby, it also takes coopera tion on the part of both hus band and wife to plan when the babies will come. But since there is a greater variety of methods for the woman than for the man, women are more apt to be the ones to uses contra ceptives. There is still only one method of birth control for men (aside from sterilization) and that is the condom or rubber. Although this is an effective method of birth control, many men find it unpleasant to use. If the wo man doesn’t like the method she uses, however, she can al ways select another one. To answer your question a bout vaginal foam--except for the condom, it is probably the most effective method you can buy at a drugstore, but it is not as effective as methods which require a doctor's pre scription. Although the directions that come in the package of vaginal foam tell you to use one ap plication of foam for each in tercourse, most doctors tell their patients to use two ap plications to be on the safe side, When used with condom, the foam gives even greater protection. Your doctor or the Wake County Health Dept., 3010 New Bern Avenue, can prescribe the most effective methods for you, however, so I suggest you check with them before you decide which contracer'.ive is best for you and your husband. * * * Dear Mrs. Riggsbee: I would like to say I read your column every week and I of the SEPIA story immediately after the August issue hit new s stands. "Within 15 minutes . , , Cosby retained a New York at torney to investigate the man agement policies. He has an absolute open policy. As a mat ter of fact, he would prefer black tenants. . SEPIA'S story continues: "Cosby’s attorney, who himself had once written a police brutal ity sto r y for SEPIA, wrapped © think it is a wonderful thing, I am the mother of four and I really rtidn’t want but two children. It seemed like everything my husband and I used didn’t work. I considered the pilis, but didn’t use them because a friend of mine said she took them and they made her sick. After I got pregnant with my fourth child, I talked to another young lady who was pregnant. She said she has been taking the pills for four years Her baby was four and she wanted another baby so she stopped taking the pills and got preg nant again. But as long as she was taking the pills she didn’t get pregnant. She said they really worked for her and she was sure they would work for me too. So I am taking the pills now. I started last month and I haven't been sick a day from them. I hope you will print this letter because 1 think a lot of women are afraid of the pills and they shouldn’t be. Thank you. MRS. L. L. H. Dear Mrs. L. L. H.: Thank you for your very nice letter. You are quite right; al though millions of women take the birth control pill and are very satisfied with them, there are a lot of other women who are afraid of the pill because they have read "scare” stories about them. For the most part, these stories distort the facts, and I suggest that any of my rea ders would like to take the pills but are afraid of them either write to me for more infor mation or check with your doctor and get the true facts.

George 111, in rnerry olde England, married a black wo man and sired a son whose descendents -- if any -- could lay claim to the royal throne of England. "History books tell us that King George 111 officially mar ried tne German Princess Charlotte in 1761,”,the SEPIA article says. "But. . . the se cret marriage of George HI took place in 1759, two years earlier, to a pretty London shoemaker’s daughter called Hannah Lightfoot.” That means that merry olde Queen Victoria right on down to present-day Queen Elizabeth II maybe were not the right ful sitters on the throne. Some where In black South Africa today, the rightful heir to that British throne may be living and unaware of his royal an cestry. "Ho SnbstiMe Preparedness/' Dr. Gresham Tells Bennett Audience GREENSBORO - "Blackpeo ple, whether we like it or not, must learn to read more and socialize less, study more and frolic less, think more and hate the white man less, do more research and say less, and write books and articles and become recognized in our respective fields,” Dr. J. Lynwood Gres ham told a Bennett College Founder's Day audience last Sunday. Dr. Gresham, the nation's youngest college president, and president of Barber-Scotia Col lege in Concord acknowledged that times were hard, that over 35-million Americans live on the brink of poverty, a source "from which the seeds of rev olution are sprung." Bui despite these things, "we must see what way the world is going and ded icate ourselves '0 its better ment through our own prepared ness,” He called Bennett and other schools like it, part of a socie ty within a society that did not develop at the same rate as the dominant society, with a culture of its own, a language of its own, a religion of its own, and an economy and education of its own. "So we are not apol ogetic of our past or appre hensive of our future.” He pointed out that it wasn’t wholly necessary to sit-in to achieve a breakthrough, citing as an example Hamilton Holmes, the first black stu dent admitted to the University of Georgia, who made Phi Beta Kappa, Thurgood Marshall, United States Supreme Court justice, and a host of others. The past 10 years, he said, were years of hard parallels, sputnik and Cuba, civil rights and Berkeley, cold war and long hot summers, Vietnam and Suez, assasinations and demon strations, the growth of com munications and the decline of understanding, all problems that contribute to the present climate of uneasiness. But to do something that will be remembered, Dr. Gresham said, you must do something that will stand the ravages of time.
