New Birth Control
Capsule May Work
For Twenty Years
By LILONA SMITH
Special To The DTH
A new birth control capsule
and population problems are
two of Dr. Sheldon J Segal's
main research projects
Segal, who is now working
on a birth control capsule that
may be effective for 20 years,
spoke at 11 o'clock Saturday
in the clinic auditorium of
N. C. Memorial Hospital.
Director of the Biomedical
Division of Rockefeller Uni
versity's Population council in
New York City, Segal spoke
here on another of his "pet
projects," "The Role of RNA

professor of pharmacology and

speech later, explained how Se

sex hormones, stimulates the

Baggett said, "Dr. Segal
wants to find how these very

are able to cause such a mark
ed growth in these organs."
"His main interest as Di
rector of the population
Council is to support basic and
applied research on population
control. His research is cen
tered mainly on contraception.
"The birth control capsule
is still very much in the ex
perimental stage. It probably
will not be available for gen

ten years."
Baggett explained that the

He was told that he didn't

run independently of the party
organizations and win. He was
told that the thought of a

tissue for as long as sterility
is desired.
"It is difficult for unedu
cated people to learn to take
oral contraceptives and it is
hard for most people to re
member to take any kind of
medication regularly," he said.
"A doctor would insert the
new capsule and could remove
it whenever the woman want
ed children." -
He said, however, that ex
periments are being done only
on rats now, which have a
short reproductive cycle of a
few months. If testing were
done on humans, the capsule
would have to remain inside
the tissue for a much longer
time, and what effects would
result from this are unknown.
The capsule contains essen
tially the same hormones, pro
gestin and estrogen, as the
oral pills do, but whether they
would be released at a con
stant rate over a long period,
pehaps 20 years, is also un
known, he said.
Along with the capsule Segal

After Hearing 16-Page
Report On Controversy
By BILL AMLONG
And DON CAMPBELL
DTH Staff Writers
The English faculty voted
Wednesday to accept a 16
page report recommending the
reinstatement of graduate in
structor Michael Paull as a
teacher.
The report which was not
released will go to Chan
cellor J. Carlyle Sitterson to
day for final action in the
case.
"I'm very happy with the ,
results of the full and thorough
investigation by my colleagues
in the English department,"
Paull told the DTH.
"As a teacher I'm happily
looking forward to my return
ing to the classroom."
Paull, a 24-year-old Ph.D.
candidate, was reassigned to
other than teaching duties Oct.
18 after a furor arose of his
assigning his freshman class a
theme on "To His Coy Mis
tress." Sitterson said then in a pre
pared statement that "our in
vestigation shows that ... ap
parently the class misinter
preted Mr. Paull's assignment"
as meaning to write a theme
on seduction.
Sitterson said he was reas
signing Paull because the nor
mal student-teacher relation
ship in his class had been sev
erely damaged by the uproar.
Paull was then given a re
search assistantship in the de
partment. But after protests of Paull's
reassignment grew louder, Sit
terson handed the matter back
to the English Department for
review.
A committee headed by Prof.
James Gaskin was appointed
to study the case from the be
ginning and make recommen
dations, It was their report that the
125 faculty members accepted
at the meeting in 103 Bingham
Hall Wednesday.
The text of the report was
not released Wednesday, how
ever, because Chancellor Sit
terson had not yet reviewed it.
UNC News Bureau Director
Pete Ivey said the entire re
port would be released about 4
p.m. today.
Here is the chronology of
the case:
Tuesday, October 11 Paull
assigned his English 1 class to
base an essay on the 17th cen

Saturday, October 15 Three
of the essays were recited in
class. The third student call

television commentator Jesse

in which he said that Paull had

which "were quite embarras

Tuesday, October 18 Chan

Paull was being reassigned to
duties other than teaching,
saying that the "normal teacher-student
learning relationship
had been disturbed by these

"We will get farther slow

The 12 students who travel

"I think it would be a gross

said. However, Long is very
much in favor of the resi

"The going through of chan

gives the time necessary to
establish firm directions of
thinking," he said.
The best way to institute an
effective residence college sys

start with a pilot program
which will be clearly experi
mental. If this succeeds, then
a strong foothold into break
ing down of the traditional
teaching methods will be gain
ed. "Real education" can be had
in the residence college sys

conduct his class and then
have time to "sit around and
chew the fat for 1-2 hour or
so," more effective learning
will be the result, it was
thought.
Long feels that if the pro

system could provide the an
