Volume 74, Numfapr 61 atterns Of Drug Abuse May Change Present patterns of drug abuse will probably change in the future, the chairman of the UNC Psychiatry Department predicted in an address to the American Epilepsy Society in New York. Dr. John A. Ewing said "The 'pure' barbiturate de pendency seen before 1955 be gan to be replaced by cases of mephrobamate (tranquilizer) dependency during the latter half of the decade. "Now we are seeing increas ing numbers of patients with mixed dependency." "Mixed dependency" refers to patients taking a mixture of drugs. Dr. Ewing's invitational ad dress to the epilepsy group Was based on a report on the over-use of certain non-narcotic drugs which act as depres sants on the central nervous system. The report was pre pared jointly by Dr. Ewing and Dr. William E. Bakewell, also a UNC psychiatrist. A survey of nearly 1,700 pa tients in the 54 - bed psychiat ric unit of North Carolina Me morial Hospital in Chapel Hill over a three - year period dis closed that about one of every 13 patients was "drug depend ent" using drugs on a peri odic or continuous basis. Many of the patients were using more than one drug ex cessively and simultaneously. Some patients considered alco holic were taking drugs as well as drink. "Several studies reveal a tendency for narcotics usage to occur in members of - the medical and nursing profes sions and the bromides to be used by people in the older age groups," Dr. Ewing said "The patients defined as us ers of amphetamines were most all in their teens or 20 Dr. Ewing's remarks dealt with the drug problem in psy chiatric hospitals. But he hast ened to dd that "drug depend ent patients are by no means found exclusively on psychiat ric wards." He said that no one has ade quately explained yet how pa tients become dependent on drugs and how they become tolerant to drugs. One - third of the drug-dependent patients were 30 to 39 years of age and nearly one third were 40 to 49 years of age. Only one out of 10 of the patients was under 30. "Dependence can develop upon many drugs having an action on the central nervous system," Dr. Ewing explained. "Although virtually all of these substances may be as sociated with a drive requir ing periodic or continuous ad ministration for pleasure seek ing or avoidance of discomfort, some drugs, in addition, pro voke physical dependence. "The latter is demonstrated by the intense physical disturb- ances occurring when admin- istration of the drug is stopped abruptly.' New Cure Compi lounds Isolated New compounds discovered in test tube experiments at the School of Medicine will oe used to check into the possi- bility that they may be effec- tive against certain diseases. The new studies will be sup ported in their first year by a want of almost 17,000 ap- proved by tne ivauonai ui&ti- rA" 1 Tma4! tute of Arthritis and Metabolic Diseases. The research pro gram will continue for four years under the direction of Dr. J. Dieter Geratz, UNC pathologist. Dr. Geratz has discovered several compounds remarka bly effective in blocking the enzymatic breakdown of pro teins. . . His research is expected to clarify the causes of certain diseases in animals and possi bly add to the knowledge of treating corresponding di seases in humans. The results could throw new light on the treatment of such conditions as hemorrhagic pancreatitis, acute allergic re actions (such as anaphylaxis) and delayed hypersensitivity. at To Write Well Is Better Than To Rule9 mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm i k-j .li ....... mm j. x '-..7 - t- . 4 --. i f J 17- " t ' -J- 1 L' t . r- 1 . .

He also wants to collect $2,000 back pay. "I'm happy, proud, pleased, surprised and looking forward to taking my seat Jan. 9th," Bond said in Indianapolis where he had again voiced his opposition, to the Viet Nam war. It was a statement about the war that prevented Bond from taking his seat last January. The statement termed U. S. involvement aggression and murder and urged young Americans to seek alternatives to military draft. Bond, 26, a Negro, was de nied his seat by an overwhel ming vote of the members af ter endorsing a policy state- ment of the Student nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SN- ot wnicn ne was pudiic relations director. He resign ed Sept. 8. "No charge has been levied other than the charge that I have chosen to speak my mind," Bond said last Janu ary while a House committee considered the issue. Bond, a slender six - foot er who weighs about 140, has smooth, boyish features. There is a serious, reserved air about him. He talks quiet ly. When Bond started to col- lege in Atlanta, he wanted to be anything but a teacher. He wasn't sure what he wanted to be. But he was certain he did not want to follow in the footsteps of his parents, both a x i r ' m tne leacmng proiession After three years, he drop- ped out of college and joined the budding student move ment in civil rights, during the early 1960s taking part in sit ins at train and bus stations, later at lunch counters in At lanta. When Bond won election last year from a predominantly Ne gro district in Atlanta, he was looking forward to the $50 -a - day pay for the 40 - day legislative session to help meet the bills. His third child was born last April. "I was counting on the $2,- 000 from the legislature," He said then. As SNCC publicity man. Bond drew $85 a week.

AED Plans Orientation Meeting An orientation meeting wil be held Thursday night for any students interested in pre-med-ical and pre - dental studies. The program to be held in 111 Murphey Hall at 7:30 p.m. features Tive speakers who will outline some of the objectives and challenges facing under graduate pre - medical and pre - dental students at Caro lina. The speakers include Dr. Christopher C. Fordham m. assistant dean and chairman of the Committee on Admissions for the UNC Medical School; Dr. Robert J. Shankle, chair man of the Committee cji Ad missions for the UNC Dental School; , and Dr. William R. Straughn Jr., Southeastern Re gional Director for the pre medical honor society. Also speaking at the meet ing will be the Prt-sident of the UNC Medical School Stu dent Body Joel Rothermel and fourth year dental student Jer ry Patterson. The meeting has been plan ned by Alpha Epsilon Delta, the Pre-medical Honor Society, in conjunction with the Medi cal School, the Dental School and the College of Arts and Sciences. Dwight Wait, Alpha Epsilon Dplta chapter president, said, "The program is designed to give the undergraduate stu dents insight to both pre-pro-fessional medical and dental education. Letters have been sent to more than 350 persons, but all interested students are invited to attend even if they did not receive a letter. Beffermentg Must Continue CHICAGO (AP) An education official told a Na tional Draft Conference yesterday the student defer ment program must continue, but should be revised to make it better understood and less open to criticism. Harry Marmion, a staff associate for the Ameri can Council of Education, began a conference dis cussion on the selective service by urging increased standardization of draft regulations at the local board level. Noting that there are more than 4,000 local draft boards across the nation, Marmion said that they "have a wide latitude of action which in some cases may be used in an arbitrary For example, one local time students before married men; another board's policies may be exactly the opposite," he added. Another conference participant, Col. Dee Ingold, a special assistant to Lt. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, the selective service director, acknowledged there is a variance among local draft boards but added: "There has got to be." Ingold described the selective service system as a "flexible organization. It has met situations in Ko rea, Berlin, Cuba and has met the situations when the calls went down to near zero and stayed there. "If you find the selective service has done a pretty good job on the assignments it's been given, and you can't find something better," Ingold told the conferees, "I hope you have the courage to say so." Earlier the conference was urged by Harshey -to pay careful attention to the facts. Arguments On Ga. Race Presented To High Court WASHINGTON (AP) Su preme Court Justices pepper id opposing counsels with questions yesterday during oral arguments on how Geor gia will select its next gover nor. At issue was the far-reach-i n g constitutional question Whether the state legislature may select the governor since neither Republican Howard H. (Bo) Callaway nor Democrat Lester G. Maddox won a jajor ity in the Nov. 8 election. First up in the oral argu ments was Harold N. Hill Jr., Assistant Attorney General of Georgia. He argued that the state legislature must consti tutionally choose between the two men. "If this were a patent in fringement case our side would be bound to lose," Hill said. But he said his side should win because the provision in the Georgia constitution pro viding for election by the leg- islature is patterned after "one of the most wonderful instruments ever struck off by the brain and hand of man." He referred to the U. S. Constitution, which pro . vides that the House chooses a President in case nobody ob tains a majority of the elec toral vote. Justice William O. Douglas wanted to know whether the Georgia Constitutional provi- sion could not be "very mis chievous." He asked Whether it might not open the way to squeezing out minorities by requiring, say, a two-thirds vote of the people to elect a What do university profes fors do to break the academic routine?

(AP) The Berkeley campus con flict over rules governing pro tests by University of Califor nia students appeared headed today for decisive action in sessions of tne faculty and tne Board of Regents. The new controversy, arous ing New Left student leaders and nonstudent supporters to call . for a classroom boycott, erupted last Wednesday when a Navy recruiting team be gan operations in the student union. An attempt to set up an antidraft table alonside the Navy team resulted in a brief sit - in, a fight, and the swift arrest of 10 protest leaders, including six nonstudents. It came exactly two years after the free speech move ment's tumultuous sit - in oc cupation of Sproul Hall, the i tar In Play bo," and "Tall Story."

Should Go First CHICAGO (AP) -Annual draft calls should generally be limited to 18 - year - olds, an army specialist on selective service told a national confer ence on the draft yesterday. Col. Samuel H. Hayes, di rector of military psychology at the U. S. military academy, suggested that 19 - year - old youths also should be retained on the draft lists on a stand by basis in case of emergen cy. "If not inducted after their 19th year or not deferred for cause," the officers said, "they (those 18 and 19) should be excused from further lia bility for military service. "This would reduce uncer tainty substantially since the majority would be selected the first year after registration," Hayes said. He presented his views in a paper to a four - day confer ence at the University of Chi cago attended by more than 100 scholars, government of ficials and students. would happen if that election would fail to produce a major ity for any candidate; whether Georgia would be compelled to go on holding elections in definitely. He expressed con fidence that eventuality would not arise. Yet to be heard was a third lawyer, Francis Shackelford of Atlanta. He represents a group of voters who want a runoff election . confined to Callaway and Maddox. . campus administration center, in December, 1964. Chancellor Roger W. Heyns was expected to ask faculty endorsement for a plan to re form campus rule making and enforcement. He called the student - drafted proposal an "imaginative idea." The regents will assembly in a specially called session in Oakland today. By leaflet, Heyns appealed to the school's 27,500 students to reject the classroom boy cott asked by the student strike committee. "Reflect upon your real rea son for being at Cal, and give first priorities to your stud ies," Heyns urged.

Founded February 23. 1893 The delegates will debate the draft and some alter natives until Wednesday when conference officials hope some compromise recommen dations can be adopted. These will be turned over to the National Commission on Selective Service, a 20-mem-ber panel convened by Presi dent Johnson to study the draft and make recommendations by next month. Parts of the draft laws will expire June 3. In his analysis of the pres ent selective service system, Hayes said the draft could substantially increase its uni formity of criteria and equity without changing its basic at structure or purpose. "All young men should reg ister for the draft at age 18," he said. "Those found best qualified for military service Would be inducted in order of their qualification." Parking Fee Change Seen By Kepner "The prospects for a change in the $5 parking fee are good," said Assistant Dean of Men Bob Kepner, Vbut they point to - an increase." The university has almost 10,000 cars registered this se mester, giving it a budget xil about $20,000. What becomes of this money? "It is placed in a 'Motor Ve hicle Registration Fund,' " epner said, "which holds it until needed. The money we have for this semester is being used to: Defray the expense of keeping vehicle records. Erecting signs for the lots. Improvement and mainte nance of lots. A traffic study which is now taking place. The study being done by Wil-ber-Smith and Associates engi neering firm will take 5 or 6 months. Hopes are that its rec ommendations will lead to an easing of the parking situa tion." The problem seems to be centered! in the area around South building. The possibility of a vast change is not likely, but perhaps the study will lead toward improvement. Asked if the money from a parking ticket is added to the same fund, epner replied, "No, that money goes to the town. I'm not sure why but I think its because the campus cop is also sworn in by the town and in this way the giv ing of tickets is under the town's jurisdiction." The future may hold new parking innovations, at a high er price, but faculty and ad ministration may also have to donate to the growing cost. of Two Professors
