before Orientation, resident advisors
attended a week-long initiation of their
own in which they were oriented to
"almost every single thing on campus," as
senior Charlotte Armstrong put it.
This preparation not only enables the
girls to provide information about all
phases of campus life, but equips them to

fjll the role of what Linda Anderson calls
referrjl agent.
Miss Anderson explained that
resident advisers are not trained
counselors. Instead, they refer anyone
. with a personal problem to a professional
in the university. In this way, girls with
emotional, medical or academic problems
can get help through RA's.
Resident advisers have received referral
information on everything from reading
problems and job placement to birth
control and pregnancy.
"So many things happen that we can't
handle," Miss Anderson added, "You feel
like you're doing a second-hand service
by referring people when actually you're
doing the best thing-getting a
professional."
Besides working with girls who have
problems and need help, the resident
advisers serve as catalysts, a role at which'
undergrads can often be more adept than

Being Set

About five members of the UNC
chapter - of Students for"a i Democratic
Society (SDS) left Chapel Hill Friday to
attend a regional conference of the
organization this weekend in Atlanta.
John Partrick, a member of the local
chapter, said the conference will serve to
coordinate the activities of various SDS
chapters in the South.
Many new SDS chapters have been
formed in North Carolina, Mississippi and
' Georgia, Partrick said, and leaders of the
new groups will receive training at the
conference.
"We hope to coordinate things and set
a general strategy : for action in the
South," said Partrick, who was unable to
attend the conference himself.
Activities for the Atlanta conference,
which begins today, will also include
workshops on subjects ranging from
racism to the war in Vietnam, Partrick
said.
The conference is basically an effort
to' make it easier to operate in certain
areas of this region," he said.

"I'm already trying to requisition

get-togethers in her room so residents on
her hall can get to know each other.
However, there are some disadvantages
to undergraduates serving as resident
advisers, enthusiasm and ability to relate
notwithstanding. Sometimes the RA title
devices and a small library of informative
books on sex.
This is, however, only the beginning,
said Wilson, as the rest of the program
will be intended to delve deeper into
today's "sexual revolution."
Wilson described this first "Theme of
the Month" as an attempt to "give the
students something they can't get on
main campus."

Strategy
By SDS
the radical caucus (an ad hoc organization
of radical groups), refused yesterday to
join area yippies in "cheering at
inappropriate times" at Vice-President
f Spiro Agnew's Oct. 26 speech at
Reynolds Coliseum in Raleigh.
"Agnew handles this type thing very
well," Partrick said, "and I feel it would
only serve to antagonize the audience."
:, Instead of joining the yippie activities,
the SDS will pass out leaflets, carry
posters and possibly perform a guerrilla
theatre, Partrick said.
The point of our going there basically
is to demonstrate that Agnew should not
be supported," he said,
i' Partrick said the local SDS chapter,
which has about 20 members, has had
"basically a reorganizing thing" since the
first of the semester. Many of last year's
members graduated, he said, leaving the
group with reduced leadership.
The group has had weekly meetings
but has taken no formal action, he said.
5 "During the coming, year, one of our
main objectives will be to remove ROTC
from this campus," Partrick said.
J Partrick said the group will also
support University workers in case of a
strike.

The greatest potential lability is bek

worried that if anything should happen,
they'd have no one to turn to.
Despite this possible problem. RA's
work toward developing a sense of
community in dorms and try to combat
loneliness. Perhaps the most important
day-to-day task of the resident advisers is
mitigating the impersonality of a large

actions, concern, and openness," said
Miss Armstrong.
'Loneliness is always there, it's just
how you handle it." said Miss Anderson.
"The lack of personalization cannot be
attributed completely to the system. the
bureaucracy, or any other inanimate
catchall category. We are all in some
minute way responsible for the

"The Sexual Revolution.
Wilson called Dr. Crist "the rnost
controversial speaker on campus this
semester...(He) has a long reputation at
UNC for being blunt with the facts of
sex, and he has promised that his speech
at Morrison...will be the best ever.
Morrison will hold a Sex Films series
Oct. 21-22. Films will deal with such
topics as contraceptives, venereal disease,
childbirth, abortion and homosexuality.
Discussion groups led by a member of
Female Lib, a medical student and an
ecology student will deal with 'The
Philosophical and Ecological Aspects of
Reproduction on Oct. 29.
Finally, on October 30, Morrison
residents will get a chance to put their
new knowledge to work.
A pamphlet passed to Morrison
residents best describes the evening's
activities: "Bring your blankets and
bottles, come in a gang or by yourself,
come with the opposite sex or bring your
own! Morrison presents Carolina's first
SEX ORGY!!! Drink what you want, do
what you want, but by all means be
careful.

A I'CLA professor of puHu- hcjhh
speaking here Friday on comprehensive
health planning warned against the
danger of over-react irtg in the faee of
mounting nationwide sovu! pressures.
Dr. Milton 1. Roomer sasd, "fceononue
waste can be jtoiJcd onlv through a
system in which both rvrsonncf and
equipment are appropriate to their
function."
Dr. Roeroer was a featured speaker at
a conference on community health care
held here at the UNC School of Nursing.
Some ISO member of the health
community in the state attended the
conference.
Dr. Roemer also cautioned that the
system, the personnel and the supporting
equipment not he "more elaborat cl
prepared than b. necessary."
"At the same time." he said, "quality
can be maintained only if these resources
are sufficiently well prepared to do the
job which society demands."
The professor of public health
administration said. "This delicate
balance of goals is the challenge presented
today to all institutions engaged in the
education of health workers as is your
University. .
"It is the reason we arc seeing so much
fresh questioning today about the proper
role of doctors and nurses and many new
types of medical assistants," he said.
The conference on community health
care was a cooperative effort developed
by the UNC Division of Health Affairs.
Special attention was given in the
conference to the primary health issues of
the 1970's and especially those outside
the hospital setting.
