The petition deals with
?! issues. The first is a re-
for faculties to give pap
Tetrs and pelvic examinations

Adents. The second concerns
S possible avaUability of birth
irol devices, i.e., birth con-
S pUls, intrauterine divices,
and condoms, through
the health services here.
(The reasons stated in the
net It ion supporting the first
ism are: “D Pelvic examina-
itons are a necessary part of
lhalth services to women, 2)
7pap smear is recommended
for college age women at least
vearly for early detection of
■mcer- and 3) examinations
lould 'be available to students
-cause of the high incidence
of venereal disease.’
The reasons given in favor
of birth control devices being
iiade available on campus are:
^1) a college which provides
Ixtension abortion counseling,
yet ignores other forms of
birth control promotes the

iist night not to appoint Mr.
Smith to the position vacated
by Mr. Gibbs, by a 5-4 vote.
In a telephone Interview,
Nancy Coyle, Vice-President
of Wilmington dormitory and
»e of the Senators who voted
gainst Mr. Smith’s appoint-

nee he is presently a sohpo-
^ore, for Vice-President of
the student association next

jlShe also stated such action
lould have been unfair to those
her students in a similar posi-
on to Mr. Smith’s, who lacked
position they could be ap-

69%, the highest 82%).»>

Historian Here
Professor Larry Addington, a
military historian, is on campus
today and will address a din
ner meeting in the President’s
Dining Room beginning at 5; 30
p.m. He is currently Associate
Professor of History at the
Citadel in Charleston, S.C. His
topic will be “The Historian
and the Study of War.”
Professor Addington did his
graduate work at Duke Uni
versity where he studied under
Theodore Ropp, who is a well
known historian of war. He has
published numerous articles on
military affairs and has recent
ly published “Blitzkrieg Era
and the German General Staff,
186501941”, a book on blitz
krieg warfare.

and the manner where and when
elections are to be held. I would
favor specific additions to the
constitution outlining the pre
cise qualifications for all of
ficers so there will be no ques
tions asked. In connection with
elections, this year’s ex
periences should make us rea
lize the need for some speci
fications in that section of the
constitution, I would support
changes which would give con
crete dates by which elections
should be held.
This year, the focus of com
plaints and demands from stu
dents has shifted from the re
sidential to the academic side of
the campus. There are three
areas to which I would devote
my energies. The first one is the
concept of pass/fail. I believe
that pass/fail can work in cer
tain situations. I favor a pass/
fail option for Guided Indepen
dent Studies. I feel that a GIS
is often hard to evaluate with
a letter grade. The second place
where pass/ fail is a possibility
is in P. E. I have discussed
the pass/fail with all faculty
members of the P. E. depart
ment and realize that there are
some problems. But I think that
students should be made aware
of the option and its disadvan
tages, and should be given the
opportunity to express some de
sire in that direction. Infurther
connection with P. E. I feel that
P. E. requirements should re
main but that they should not
be graded and averaged with a
student’s overall GPR. I would

support a move to also make this
an option of the student, A se
cond academic area where I
would direct attention is in
STMS, In my work with the Long
Range Planning Committee in
that course, I believe that
pressure could be exerted to
end the required two semesters
of STMS, and require only one
semester with the second se
mester taken either in STMS,
introductory biology, or intro
ductory chemistry.
All of the above may appear to
be a purely academic platform
and in part, it is, I believe that
we have accomplished our ends
on the social side of the cam
pus, i. e. no hours for women,
open visitation, on-premise
beer at parties, and no hassle
on drinking, I feel that the idea
or dorm autonomy is good If
handled properly by the Indi
vidual dorms, but I also feel

that it is a problem for the in
dividual dorms to handle and
that Student Government should
keep its nose out of a dorm’s
affairs. I would favor some con
crete changes in the policy on
search and seizure of rooms,
specifically, I would work to
see that a search warrant must
be presented in all cases ex
cept on routine health inspec
tions.
This is only a brief state
ment of my overall position. I
feel that my previous ex
perience in office and my in
terests in all the above qualifies
me for the office of Student Gov
ernment President. The office
requires someone who can and
will get things done and some
one who will work for the stu
dents. I pledge to do this. I
would appreciate your vote in
Friday’s election.
