SECTION B Last week Congress con tinued its summer recess. During the interval I had the pleasure of delivering a commencement address to the Beaufort County Tech nical Institute. In prepara tion for the speech, I was astounded at the phenom enal growth of the com munity colleges and tech nical institutes in the state of North Carolina.

The ever increasing enrollment is most impres sive; for the school year 1962-63, an enrollment of about 25,000. The last def inite figure we have for the year 1967-68 was 189,- 000 students with a pro jected enrollment for 1968- 69 of 225,000. I chose for the subject of my address Un rest,” for I think many of our North Carolina citizens are concerned about the events of recent months which disrupted the order ly processes of some of our institutions of higher learn ing. The speech attempted to convey the fact that campus unrest is not solely the product of the present young generation but has existed in the past It has been written: “Our youth now love luxury. They have bad manners, con tempt for authority, disre spect for older people. Children nowadays are tyrants. They contradict their parents, gobble their food and tyrannize their teachers.” Certainly, this has a ring of modem times, yet this quote is attribut ed to Socrates, who lived from 469 to 399 B. C. In the 14th century, a situation existed at Ox ford University similar in many ways to the violence of this day. The students, with some degree of im munity, virtually and with the tacit approval of the university administration as well as the government, took over the university and community. But in 1354, an outraged English public, tired of the toler Edenton, North Carolina, Thursday September 4,1969. ance of 'the government and the universities, rebelled— which resulted in the “town and gbwn” riots, so called at that time. They restored order to the universities as well as to the community. The so called “Russian Student Movement” gener ally covers a half century period 1856, just after the Crimean War, to 1905. The Russian Student Move ment of that day, similar to the violence of today, consisted of many non students or ex-student rev olutionary criminals of all times. This movement, by its stupidity and violence, lost the confidence not only of the public, but of it self, to sruch an extent that when the opportunity to overthrow the czars under the Kerenski leadership came in 1917, the student movement had become im potent and was useless, JJchit MENTAL HEALTH by NOMERT L. KELLY, Ph. D. Director, Education Division N. C. Department of Mental Health ONE FOR THE ROAD? Most sincerely, if you do, you may be taking the fatal one. Alcohol is an anesthetic. When taken in small quan tities it relaxes you. It acts as a sedative. When you drink it in larger volumes, you’re ask ing to be put to sleep. Sleeping and driving do not mix. Can you imagine your self walking into a hospi tal and asking for a few quick whiffs of ether be fore driving home? Well, alcohol acts very much like ether. It makes you sleepy. It doesn’t stimulate you, as a lot of uninformed people still think. Science tells us beverage alcohol is a depressant, an anesthetic. If you want to stay alive, keep away from alcohol when you’re on the road. Now don’t kid yourself— as many a cadaver did. You won’t get away with it any more than they did. Science tells us that every year thousands die because drinking doesn’t go with driving. Nor does it go with walking on the highway. The drinking pedestrian frequently winds up in the grave. How about you? Think about it. Beer, wine, hard liquor numb the brain. The more you drink, at a given time, the more you are numbed. This is why beverage alco hol has been called an es cape agent. Drink enough of it and it will numb your feelings. It will numb the problems that may be up setting. This is why the alcoholic drinks alcohol. He’s trying to forget (numb) his unhaippiness, his fears, his frustrations. Os course, when he sobers and never even played a part in this important stage of Russian history. There is a clear cleavage between the students who have an objective in life and attend the university to prepare themselves to be able to accomplish that objective, and those stu dents who would use the universities as a base for political revolution and de structiveness. Certainly, no one would deny the students the Tight to express themselves as it relates to improvements of the institution or construc tive changes. But, if the institution is to survive, the protests must be con ducted in an orderly man ner without endangering the total objective of the entire program of higher education, and they must also be void of outside in fluence. up those same problems, fears, frustrations are right back with him as strong as ever. A safer bet would be to try to get at the basis of the problems and do some thing about them—perhaps with the help of Alcoholics Anonymous or the local alcoholism information cen ter. Consult your phone directory for any of these if you or a member of yov.r family are using al cohol excessively. The centre! office is in the Medical Building, Eliza beth City. Telephone 335- 1663.

Often the familiar, stooped posture was less the result of time than failing eye sight, or cataracts, which re quired heavy specs that dis torted the things around them. Today, due to tiny plastic contact lenses, scores of a new generation of venerated rela tives are happier, younger-look ing folks. And, they are scan ning horizons not the ground. According to Barnes-Hind Pharmaceuticals, Inc., makers of ophthalmic fluids, aphakia another name for cataracts, is an affliction of non-youth, and it usually starts around the age of 50 and up. The crystalline lens (focusing mechanism of the eye) becomes cloudy and opaque. In many cases the clouding-up increases until vis ion is nil and surgery is re quired. When the cataracts are removed, a substitute vision aid must be found to replace the “lost” crystalline lens in order that useful vision may become possible. Until 20 years ago the usual remedy for the post operative cataract patient was cumber some bottle-bottom thick eye glasses. These would restore only limited vision and, almost no peripheral (side) vision, both so vital to confident bodily movement. Now plastic contact lenses, no larger than an aspirin and paper-thin, are fitted to the healed surface of the eye. And, because they most closely re semble the natural contour, aphakia patients can have un distorted. clearer vision, some times achieving up to normal 20/20 acuity. In addition to better vision, contact lenses give a strong morale boost to these patients. Since the tiny lenses go unde tected and offer freedom of movement, they provide a psy chological lift.
