Editor’s note: The following
article was written upon request
of the Housing Committee for the
purpose of informing students of
its plans. The committee wishes
to stress that these are prospec
tive plans, only.
BY CAROL DURHAM
“All the members of the Hous
ing Committee are making a joint
effort to give the student every
possible facility which would help
him in any way, although we do
not have as much money to work
with as we would like,” noted Bill
Billups, Housing Committee mem
ber, in speakingof the committee’s
recent work on future dormitory
plans.
The Housing Committee, com
posed of students, faculty, and ad
ministration, has been meeting
recently to draft plans for future
dorms, which, according to the
committee, should be ready for
occupancy by the fall of 1968.
The goal of the members has been
to plan rooms with adequate space
and warm effects, while assuring
the use of sound quality materials.
At present only two dorms have
been planned for, each to house
500 students.
Every two floors of the 10-story
dorms will constitute a house.
Both floors will have four suites
of rooms and four bathrooms.
Three of the suites on each floor
will be composed of six rooms;
the other suite to have seven
rooms. Each room will house two
students.
On the base floor of each house
there will be a centrally located
lounge area and a seminar room
for meetings. The upper floor
will have a balcony area overlook
ing the lounge on the floor below.
Also each house will have sev
eral rooms with typing and study
ing facilities.
The main floor and basement of
each dorm will provide for the
dorm to be almost self-sufficient.
The main floor will be provided
with a large glassed-i.n lounge, a
small library-study room, a branch
post office, a snack area, student
offices, television rooms, staff
suites, and an information desk.
On the basement floor will be a
laundry area, allowing students
who so desire, to do their own
laundry. Of course, places will
also be set up which will permit
students to send clothing and lin
ens out to be laundered or cleaned.
Part of the basement will be set
off for recreational areas, and it
is hoped by the committee mem
bers that there will also be room
for extra storage space.
There will be two elevators and
two stair wells in each dorm and
the entire building will be fully
air-conditioned. At this time it is
indifinite whether or not phones
will be installed in each room or
only in centrally located areas.
The architect in charge of de
signing and building the dormitor
ies is Leslie Boney of Wilmington,

Due to the recent appearance of
Dr. John Rock on campus, Larry
Keith’s “Sin Now-Pay Later Plan”
and the present controversy at
Chapel Hill, sex and birth con
trol have become even more out
standing as topics of conversation.
It seems that the students are
fairly evenly divided on their op
inions of the matter.
Should “the pill” be made avail
able to everyone who desires it,
regardless of whether or not the
involved girl is married?
One sophomore coed answered
emphatically, “No, I am very much
against distributing the pill to un
married girls. Thlspractice would
be all the incentive that a lot of
girls would need. The temptation
is just too great.”
Another girl expressed the same
idea in different words by saying,
“No! Love and sex are too far
apart anyway. Why take away the
little symbolism there is now? Give
a girl a pill and she has nothing
to worry about.”
One of the males asked answered
by replying that the girl would
need the pills only if she allowed
passion to dominate reason. He
went on to say that it was the
girl who called the signals, and
if she was the type who needed
the pill, she should have it.
Another male asked answered
by saying, “First of all, you’re
not going to do away with pre
marital sex; second, such things
as the rhythm method just are
not effective in family planning;
finally, the population explosion
is fast becoming the world prob
lem. So what’s wrong with the
use of the pill?”
Another sophomore coed an
swered, “Dr. Roch’s observations
are very realistic. Unmarried
coeds should be given the pill if
they desire it. Indeed, it is the
best way to curb Illegal abortion,
illegitimate children, and promis-

cuity. If you can’t stop the prac
tice, why not curb the effects?”
And summing it all up quite well,
a junior boy stated, “Anyone should
be allowed to take the pills under
medical observations, whether she
be single, divorced, or married.
If someone wants something bad
enough, he is going to get it. If
one chooses to indulge in sex, this
is the safest method, and there are
less social repercussions from
taking the pill than there are trom
bringing an unwanted child into the
world.”
Half The Colleges
Prescribe Pills
PULLMAN, WASH. - (I.P.)
Findings, based on returns from
315 member institutions of the
American College Health Associa
tion, revealed that nearly half the
nation’s college health services (45
per cent) now will prescribe con
traceptive pills, but only one in
25 will do so for single women
who do not intend to marry in
the near future.
Returns of the national survey,
compiled early last year by Dr.
Ralph M. Buttermore, director
The Ravenetts, live and on stage at the Union cafeteria, i ney rocked
Charlotte’s soul Friday night with strong, husky voices and plenty of
wild dancing. For a story and picture on the group, see page five.
of the Student Health Service at
Washington State University,
showed:
174 (55%) do not prescribe con
traceptive pills;
77 (26%) prescribe only to mar
ried women students;
23 (7%) prescribe only for medi
cal purposes;
28 (8%) will prescribe for a sin
gle woman who intends to take a
pre-marital exam or show other
intent to marry in the near future;
13 (4%) will prescribe tor sin
gle, unmarried women; and twelve
of the latter group will prescribe
for women under 21.
No individual institutions were
identified by Dr. Buttermore.
Most institutions which would not
prescribe the pill said this was not
an appropriate function of a college
health service, but required con
tinued, careful supervision by a
personal physician. Dr. Butter
more reported. “Others thought
prescribing the pili would express
(tacit) approval tor premarital re
lations, implying that colleges ac
cept a responsibility that does
not properly belong to it and runs
counter to the great majority of
parents. ”
Those health services prescrib
ing contraceptive pills felt they
should be treated the same as any
other drug. Most prescribed tor
unmarried women in conjunction
with a premarital examination.
Some indicated that parental ap
proval was required for unmarried
minors, even when the prescrib-
tion was made solely for medical
reasons.
Only 19 institutions had written
policies covering contraceptives.
Among 43 heaith services with
pharmacies, only two would fill
contraceptive prescriptions and

pills to the unmarried, he said,
“If they need the same control
as married people, perhaps they
should have the pill. They should,
however, control themselves first.
This is no time to be lazy
about the principle of population
control”
Dr. Rock does not favor un
supervised distribution of pills.
Some would, if possible, have them
vended from candy machines which
would read. Baby Ruth, Sugar Bab
ies, and No Babies, He stressed
his version to this system by in
sisting, “Pills must be taken under
medical supervision only!”
The Catholic lay leader recon
ciled his church’s new doctrine on
brith control simply. “American
Catholics have already made up
their minds about birth control.
They realize that a supreme con
science is applied to parental re
sponsibility.”
Looking much like an eccentric
millionaire, he ended his talk
abruptly as he turned to Frank
Jones and asked, “How are we
doing on time?”
Frank replied, “Just about
time.”
“To stop? Thank you very
much,” Dr. Rock said as he sat
down and amid loud applause.
A reception was held for him
in the rear of the Ballroom im
mediately following his lecture.
