The Ad Hoc Committee on
Child Care will submit its
proDosal for using the Faculty
Club building as a day care
center to the Space Committee
tomorrow.
The Faculty Club, which
will not be used by the faculty
next year, is being sought after
by Morehead Residence
College, Air Force ROCT and
the ad hoc committee.
The University's Space
Committee headed by
Assistant to the Chancellor
Claiborne Jones will decide
Monday the fate of the
. converted World War II
officer's club. The Space
Committee makes all decisions'
on the use of University
property.
The most recent effort of
the Female Liberation
supported committee was a
letter sent Friday to Assistant
to the Chancellor Claiborne
Jones detailing the support for
converting the facility into a
day care center.
"We
17-1,800
have collected
signatures," stated
the letter, "including those of
eight department chairmen and
about 75-100 faculty members,
on a petition in support of our
original letter."
"The
facilities
present child care
in Chapel Hill and
Durham are not sufficient to
supply the needs of ' large
numbers of people now on
waiting lists," the letter
contiues." In addition, they are
too costly for most University
connected families."
The committee claimed
child care is "not an extra
benefit but an integral right of
every University connected
person."
There are seven licensed day
care centers in the area, two
aimed at low income
situations.
According to committee
member Susan Konrad, the
present day care centers have
waiting lists every fall.

Housed in an obscure, gray building on the Student Union
parking lot is the University of North Carolina Highway Safety
Research Center.
Directed by Dr. Bob Campbell, it is a center dedicated to
create an "innovative atmosphere about driving research."
Dr. Campbell, whose background is in psychology, said "the
research center has a staff from several different academic fields,
including epidemiology, transportation and engineering,
computer programming and statistics.
"The reason behind .... V explained Dr. Campbell, "Is because
driving is an act which has a family of problems. It takes a group
of people from diverse academic backgrounds to cope with these
problems."
The center was started four years ago and is financed by the

Discussing future plans for
the RCF, Miss Wellborn said
steps might be taken to use
part or all of Chase cafeteria as
a social and academic center

"We've been discussing the
possibilities and problems
involved in putting pool tables

She also said an RCF

"We're not sure yet as to

campus where it can easily call on UNC research facilities to carry
out its objectives.
Those objectives are to answer specific questions about
highway safety; licensing, driver education, the mechanical
protection given by automobiles, or the lack of it; and, said Dr.
Campbell, to show the driver the risks involved in driving.
"Not like most safety experts who seek to eliminate all the
risks, we seek to minimize the risks for the sake of the driver who
may not know of them."
Some areas of driver safety the Highway Safety Research
Center has had an active part in are: reflectorized license plates,
bicycle and motorcycle driving, seat belt and shoulder harness
techniques and tests to demonstrate what injuries may or may
not result in a crash of certain types and models of automobiles.
On the question of automobile licensing, Dr. Campbell said,
"We seek not to press the issue that the license examination
should be changed or made any more difficult but to try to
answer any questions which the examinations tend to leave out
about the driver.

"He is in control of the car, and no matter how you drive
some guy is liable to hit you, and whether you live or die is
dependent upon you and your use of restraints."
Dr. Campbell delivered a report March- 17 on a study the
center conducted on automobile safety for a Senate
sub-committee on safety which was the first of its kind to "name
names."
According to Dr. Campbell, the study was conducted not to
show which cars were more liable to be involved in an accident,
but to show which cars would be more capable of inflicting more
injury than others.
Dr. Campbell is not the type of safety expert who consistently
harps about all the bad workmanship involved in automobile
production, nor is he the stereotyped Ralph Nader who is
continually looking for some flaw in a product to expose to the
consumer.

faster and I think that it is worth it, but what is not worth it is

"Switchboard" has begun to
make it.
It has bfen accepted by
both young and old, and,
organizer David Jones said,
"has developed into one of the
most unusual approaches to
the mixture of youth and drugs
in the entire nation."
The organization began last
fall, but did not, Jones said,
actually begin operation until
two months ago.
The group, about three
dozen youths, took over a
house on the corner of Graham
and Rosemary Streets March 1
and has now been able to
develop the operation into a
seven-day-a-week, 24 hour a
day system.
"Where most of the new
drug-oriented organizations
springing up like weeds across
the country are adult-oriented,"
Jones said, "Switchboard
was the idea and is the result of
the young themselves."
"Our staff consists of
ex-users and non-users," Jones
said. "The operation has three
basic components:
"Acute psychological
reactions to drugs (bummers)
are handled either through the
telephone lines, in the
Switchboard house or by a
worker going to the
individual's location.
"A referral agency for
medical, legal, psychiatric or
therapeutic community
agencies such as Synanon.
These services are donated by
professional men in the
community who cooperate
with Switchboard and make
their services available without
charge.
"Presentation to the user
of an alternative life-style
without drugs. Along with
constant contact with staff, a
confrontation group setting is
used to help individuals within'
the organization work out
emotional problems as well as
with those people with whom
the organization comes in
contact."
When the phone lines first
opened in early March,
Switchboard relied on
word-of-mouth communication

Well, where else could we
call? Who's in charge of time?
Anyway, the man answers
the phone and starts telling us
about the probability of

him and ask about the time.
He says we all have to set
our clocks up an hour at 2 a.m.
Sunday morning.
We ask him why.
He says it is the law.
We ask him what will
happen if we break the law.
He asks what is the matter
with us.
We ask him who to call to
find out who's in charge of this
business.
He says he doesn't know.
Nobody in the office knows
either. It isn't in the phone
book. Who is responsible? We
don 't know.
But we think they've got a

car's ability than their own."
In the future the research center will be working with the
Department of Motor Vehicles to improve the licensing
procedure.
In addition to improving the written test, at the end of this
month the department will purchase a $35,000 automobile with
scientific equipment designed to record the reactions of a driver
under normal conditions which often go unnoticed by the
examiner.
Each time the brakes are applied, the steering wheel (which
will be made of 14 karat gold) is turned or the driver's heart beats
and pulse rises, the results will be recorded on a computer stored
in the trunk.
The decision as to whether he is fit to drive will depend on a
driver's reactions as recorded by the special automobile.
"No one can be sure as to whether or not this car will improve
one's driving," said Dr. Campbell, "but it's worth the ri

project within the town with
both parents and students."
The order will induct 20
new initiates elected for
"unselfish devotion to
altruistic endeavors and
willingness to serve."
The original purpose of the
Order of the Grail was to
"preserve unity in student
life." It recognized that
University aims were best
served by a student body
"insensitive to differences in
race, creed or background."
In keeping with past
purpose the 1969 order is
sponsoring this fiftieth reunion
as "a commemoration of past
goals and a re-dedication to a
new one scholarship fund
raising."
The order plans to ask
former members to contribute
funds for scholarships and
loans. According to Pob
Manekin, scribe of the 19G9
order, the scholarships will
primarily go to "poor whites
and black whose primary hope
of breaking the cycle of
poverty lies in higher
education."
Currently the order draws
its funds from ring and
invitation sales. All of these
profits go to the Student Aid
Office.
