BY GAYLE WATTS
After a full week of soliciting
votes, the candidates for the Uni
versity Union Executive Com
mittee positions will deliver their
campaign speeches today at 11:30
a. m. in the Parquet Room of the
Union.
The candidates for the chair
manship of the Union, Dwayne Spit-
zer and Nick Stavrakas, will have
five minutes each to speak, and
■ the candidates for the other offices
are allotted three minutes each.
John Lafferty, candidate for
vice-chairman, and Kay Watson,
candidate for secretary, are run
ning uncontested. Bobbe Berry,
who is seeking theposition of trea
surer, has been challenged for that
position by Ronnie Russell.
Mr. Russell feels that the Union
is the “ceenter of the social life
of our school” and he “does not
see why the Union can’t sponsor
entertainment every weekend so
students don’t have to go else
where. ”
“I would like to see more week
end activities which will bring the
students closer together,” he ex
plains.
Court Convicts Student
Of 2 Honor Violations
Ronnie Russell
The Student Court, in a four-
hour session lad Friday, convicted
a student here of two violations of
the Honor Code. The student,
William C. Pilker, a Junior, was
found guilty of both lying and
cheating.
The charges grew out of a recent
student election to decide the nick
name of this campus. Dwayne Spit-
zer, election committee chairman,
accused Pilker of giving election
committee workers a false name
and of ‘voting more than once.
Spitzer was a main witness for
Bud Stokely, prosecuting attorney.
He testified that he saw Pilker
vote more than once and said he
was reasonably sure Pilkei' gave
a name other than his own.
Frank Caton,’ defense lawyer,
placed Pilker on the stand. Pilker
testified he had the permission
of another student to cast a ballot
for him. He said there was a
misunderstanding at the polling
place of the name which he gave
the election workers.
Capacity Crowd Greets Rock
Russell says, "1 would like to
see our money spent so that it
benefits more people than it has
in the past,” and he adds, “that
means active students getting the
most for their money.”
‘T am for more entertainment
that we have had in the past,”
says Mr. Russell, “in short, for
anything that makes our school
livelier.”
“I am in favor of some sort of
poll to see how the students feel
about entertainment. We should
find out early what the student
body wants so that the time to
schedule the events will be avail
able.”
Voting days, as of this writing,
are the 21, 22, 23 of March be
tween the hours of 8:30 a.m. --
4:30 p. m. and 6:00 p.m. -- 9:00
p. m.
BY PAUL BOSWELL
Last Wednesday in the Union
Ballroom, Dr. John Rock, a pri
mary developer and proponent of
the birth control pill, spoke to a
near-capacity audience of stu
dents, faculty, and guests.
After being introduced by Union
Chairman Frank Jones, Dr. Rock,
looking every inch the distinguish
ed doctor that he is, approached
the mike unable to suppress a blush
at the applause.
Speaking of an introduction he
received at a former speaking en
gagement, he quipped, “I was once
introduced as a man who could well
discuss sex, since both of my
names are four letter words.”
He then turned to Larry Keith’s
recent article on the “Sin Now,
Pay Later” plan. He commented,
“The general atmosphere of the
article was not wholly unpolluted.”
The doctor pointed out that China
has moved up its legal marriage
age range to 20-30 years tor men
and 18-25 years for women in an
effort to control population.
“Notice they are keeping the
range in adolescence,” He gibed.
Discussing the tact that the women
who get abortions (legal in China)
get four weeks paid vacation and
become heroins, he said, “Let’s
not come to that. ”
However, he added that “any
body who doesn’t pay attention to
the welfare of society is reaction
ary.”
Both Parties Hold Nomination
Conventions For Elections
BY LOUISE NAPOLITANO
Both the University Party and the
Student Party held their nomination
conventions last Wednesday,March
15, in the Union.
For theexecutivepositlonsofthe
student body, the UP has nominated
John Gaither for president. Bill
Billups for vice-president, Earl-
een Mabry for secretary, and Cindy
Trexler for treasurer. Nominees
from the UP for Student Court
positions are Bud Stokely, Rodney
Smith, and Patty Moser.
Running for Consolidated Un
iversity of North Caroiina Student
Council representative are Larry
McAfee and Joe McCorkle.
The University Party also en
dorsed candidates for the Positions
of editor of the school publications.
Endorsed for Union offices are
Dwayne Spitzer for chairman, John
Lafferty for vice chairman, Kay
Watson for secretary, and Ronnie
Russell for treasurer.
The UP backs Paul Boswell lor
editor of the Carolina Journal and
Candy Kimbrell tor editor of the
annual.
Nominees for positions on the
Publications Board are Patsy Han
sel and Phil Wilson.
Bill Shuford, chairman of the
Student Party stated that the SP’s
nominations for legislative posi
tions will be made known at a la
ter date. He remarked that “as
for the president and vice president
of the student body, SP, placing stu
dent government before party com
petition for competition’s sake, and
recognizing the outstanding quali
ties exhibited by John Gaither and
Bill Billups, endorse these two
candidates, regardless of party
affiliations.”
Concerning the Union and pub
lications positions, Mr. Shuford
pointed out that the SP “made
no endorsements because that is
supposed to be completely non-
partisan.
He conceded that one battle has
been won; birth control is here to
stay. Other battles must be won
in laboratories and in the minds
of people.
“You must accept that you as
an American are not entitled to
have more than two and one-half
children,” he added.
“The sex Instinct is loaned in
interest of our kind, not for our
own enjoyment. Man has reason,
free will, and spirituality and
therefore has something else to do
than merely propagate.”
“Sex, however pleasurable, is
inseparably integrated with love.
We must never tail to realize love
is a prime aspect of human in
stinct.”
He pointed out that the human sex
instinct is controlled by the cortex
of the brain which sifts out proper
and improper impluses. The signi
ficance of sex action is here; there
fore, the cortex needs example and
education.
“There are getting to be tar too
many of us,” he said. “Too much
togetherness is not conducive to
healthy mentality.”
“It took us 1840 years after
Christ to make our first billion.
Ninety years later the second
came, the third in thirty years
alter that, the fourth in ten years
more, and the fifth, sixth, and
seventh will come before the year
2000.”
Overpopulation will lead , he
added, to neglect of young, des
troying of the family, and the doom
ing of the whole structure of so
ciety.
Now the question arises, how to
accomplish birth control?
“It’s simple,” he said. “Just
be sure that naughty little sper-
matozoan doesn’t find the little
egg.”
Dr. Rock explained that the ovu
lation cycle of women is not very
dependable, and that conventional
contraceptive methods are mech
anical and generally unsatisfac
tory.
“The pill is the most physiolo
gical of all,” he expounded. “The
hormones in the pill function exac
tly as the female’s hormones func
tion in pregnancy. ”
His remarks were interrupted
periodically as he stopped to dig
notes.

The court, composed of seven
judges, deliberated tor approxi
mately one hour after hearing the
closing summations.
Chief Justice Holm Gaither de
livered the verdict of the Court.
It reads as follows:
“In order for this court to pro
perly consider the guilt or inno-
cense of the accused, we found it
necessary to reach a unanimous
opinion as to what actions consti
tute lying and cheating. It is our
opinion that the following are valid
working definitions.
“Lying-mistatement or misre
presentation of facts by the indivi
dual which are known by him to
be otherwise than stated.
“Cheating—actions taken by the
individual which take unfair advan
tage of the rights of his peers in
cases where custom that each in
dividual is to have equal rights.
“The court has viewed the ac
tions of the accused in the light
of these definitions, and has de
cided that he is guilty upon both
counts.
“The right to vote is an in
herent one—a privilege which, al
though not specivied by the res
ponsibility to exercise that right
in a manner befitting the sanctity
of that privilege. When a member
of any society so belittles that
right it indicates tha t he does
not appreciate it; then the society
which granted him that privilege
has also the right to deprive the
individual of that right.

Colvard
Asks $1.5
Addition
Chancellor D, W, Colvard add
ressed the joint appropriations
committee of the State Legislature
last Thursday and asked that $1.5
million of the requests made by
this campus f°r newundertakinsbe
restored for the next two years.
Dr. Colvard told the committee
the funds are desperately needed
for library books, research, top-
levei faculty members, and in
creased salaries. He said the re
quested restoration is designed to
develop the foundations in per
sonnel in books and in equipment
for a core university program.
Funds for the acquisition of addi
tional volumes tor the Atkins lib
rary made up a major portion of
the restoration requests. A request
of .$600,000 tor books for the next
two years was cut to $177,000 by
the advisory budget commission.
Dr. Colvard explained to the
committee that there are just 75,-
000 volumes in the library at this
time and that most new univer
sities .start with at least 100,000
volumes and have large budgets
for future acquisitions.
“Adequate iibrary re.source.s,
services, and facilities are the
basic core of any institution of
higher education. Without a library
v/hich will support instructional
and research programs, all the top
faculty personnel and fine class
room facilities available cannot
result in academic excellence.
