Project Hinton
must be resumed.
Though official recognition and
support have been withdrawn by
the faculty and administration.
Project Hinton is alive and kicking
in Hinton-James Dormitory.
Residence college courses will
not be taught in the project this
year as they were the past two
years, but residents'of the project
have been meeting to set tentative
plans for activities for the year.
Just the fact that those students
are still concerned with the project
even more clearly shows the
mistake made by the UNC
administration when it allowed the
project to die.
Project Hinton was established
two years ago to provide an

Student voter registration is beginning
to pick up in Chapel Hill. The past three
Thursdays at the Town Hall, 192 persons
registered to vote, an average of 64 a
week. Only eight per week registered in
June.
Of those, about one-third were twenty
one and under, another 40 percent under
thirty.
When the thirty day residency period is
up on October 1 for most students,
hundreds more are expected to register
immediately. Various student groups will
probably provide transportation to the
municipal building, and Mrs. Caroline
Cody, the registrar, has said volunteer
help will be available to help her do the
paperwork.
This past week, two of the 6
registrants gave dorm addresses, one in
Old East, the other in Granville South.
So, contrary to some rumors, students
can register to vote, regardless of where
they live. Party affiliation figures of the
new registrants show no substantial
M
experiment in offering something
different to the student alientated
by current educational processes.
Courses were taught by UNC
professors participating in a faculty
fellows program, and other
activities were held.
The plan for the project was so
well thought of that several schools
throughout the state copied it and
have continued those programs.
Students obviously felt the
project was a success in its two
years of existence, and the Report
of the Project Hinton Evaluation
Committee, composed of two
students, one faculty member and
three administrators, also praised
the project for reaching the
alienated student.
The report warned that more
students tired of current
educational methods would be
entering UNC and would need a
program like that offered by the
Project a prediction that proved
correct when more than 100
freshmen signed up for the project
this year, only to have Chancellor J.
Carlyle Sitterson turn them down.
Project Hinton was necessary and
successful, yet the UNC
administration allowed it to die by
not asking for funding (UNC-G
received S 2 7,000 fronT the N.C.
General Assembly for its program)
and by not gathering support for it
among the faculty.
Mark Applebaum, associate dean
in the College of Arts and Sciences,
however, has intimated that some
funding may be available for next
semester, and hopefully the project
can be resumed.
It can only be hoped that
students now in the project can just
keep it alive until the
administration can correct its
senseless blunder.
ore students are registering
deviation from previous totals for the
county. Currently, there are just over
20,000 registered voters in Orange
County, of whom SI percent ate
Democrats and about 16 percent
Republicans. The remainder have a "no"
party or Independent affiliation.
Of the recent registrants, a little over
SO percent are Democrats, but
Republican registration is only nine
percent. Most of the new people are older
students, however, or new faculty who
came here over the summer.
Registering is a fairly simple procedure
and I urge all students to drop by the
Town Hall, behind the fire station on
North Columbia Street, Thursdays
beginning October 7 (If you were at your
present address by August 31, you can
register September 30).
Only seven or eight questions are
asked, none of which are offensive. Next
week, I will explain registration
procedures and questions and answers in
detail.

Question: I hear there is a new rnail

Hill that is easy to use and uhich
maintains strict confidentiality. Could
you tell me more about this
service-uhere is it and how can I contact
this service? A speedy response would be
appreciated as time is running out.
Signed, K.K.
Dear K.K.: Pregnancy testing by nail is
done by the Population Phr.r.irg

medication of any kind. You simply
submit a urine sample as Instructed.
Question: In cases where women hae
had a "radical vulvectomy" can they still
have orgasm or have any clitoral sensation
at all?- Signed. M.P.
Dear M.P.: If they have had a radical
vulvectomy (the removal of the external
genitalia organs in women including the
clitoris), one would think that clitoral
orgasm could not be produced because of
absence of the organ. However, there are
physiologists who claim that vaginal
orgasm will take place, which brings up
the long and heated debaye as to whether
there is a difference between vaginal and
editorial orgasm. The research findings of
Masters and Johnson should once and for
all dispel the myth that women have two
kinds of orgasm, one clitorial and the
other vaginal
Apparently some women feel that
orgasm by vaginal penetration places
them in a more traditional female role
and allows for more "togetherness" with
their husbands during the sex act.
producing more satisfaction. In any case
there has been several documented cases
of women who have had radical
vulvectomies who can still have orgasm.
Question: Several times in your
column you have stated that an
uncircumcised male has more sexual
problems than one who is circumcised. 1
realize that cancer of the penis is more
prevalent in uncircumcised males and that
hygenic problems result from the
foreskin. What would you advise a 20
year old male to do about being
circumcised and what is the estimated
cost for such an operation. Could this be
done at the Infirmary? Signed,

POLITICAL NOTES: An interview last
week with Chapel Hill state representative
Carl Smith proved depressing. Smith
easily qualifies as reactionary of the
month.
I asked him if he would do anything
about having out of state tuition lowered
in the upcoming General Assembly
Special Session.
Unfortunately, Smith does not think
tuition is high enough. Not only did he
vote for the SI 300 this year, SI 800 next
year tuition bill, he supported and voted
for the earlier version of the bill when it
passed the house.
That bill would have provided an
immediate jump to S2000 for
undergraduates. S2200 for graduate
students. "Most people in this state are
tired of subsidizing out-of-state
students." Smith said.
I also asked Smith if he thought annual
sessions of the General Assembly might
help the state better meet its problems

Question: I have noticed a peculiarity
in my sexual habits as of late and I am
wondering if this is normal. 1 hae been
told by my girl friend on several
occasions that I have made love to her in
my sleep, and then, when she tells me
about it in the morning. I don't een
remember doing it. Is this common?Or
am I just perverted? Signed. Sleeping
Beauty.
Dear Sleeping Beauty: No this is not
perverted. Certainly n is not very
common. There are several persons at
North Carolina Memorial Hospital who
are very interested in your problem.
Please contact one of us personally. .
Question: I am writing you concerning
the services of the Health Education
Clinic for coeds. I am a graduate of UNC
working at NCMH and am married to a
student at UNC. I recently inquired thru
Central Appointments whether or not the
services of the Clinic were available to
wives of students and was told that they
were not. as they were open only to
coeds, whether married or single.
Letters to the editor
Gradual increase
To the editor:
I have noticed there are many opinions
of the out-of-state tuition increase. It is a
foolish and clever one on the part of the
state of North Carolina. What is the effect
on the out-of-state students? What is the
effect on the university? What is the
effect on the students?
Let us reevaluate this well publicized
Q5 o
and whether higher legislative salaries
might allow more to serve.
Smith thought a minute and noted that
annual sessions and a "minimum-income"
salary would prevent lawyers, real estate
executives, and bankers from serving in
Raleigh, because they could not afford to
take two years off from their jobs.
Smith acknowledged that higher pay
might allow poor people and blue collar
workers to serve in the General Assembly.
The Orange County Democrat then left
for a month in Europe.
As I have said many times before, the
problem with our country is not really
the System, but the men we have allowed
to govern us. Until we wake up and start
voting the Carl Smiths of the state out of
office, there will be no significant reform
of anything in this state.
There are too many bankers, lawyers
and real estate men in Raleigh already.
HOWARD LEE is rumored to be
reconsidering his potential bid for state
labor commissioner. Lee is still holding

find one in the Clinic. Hoeer. as I
already said. I got turned down. I know
you hae to draw the line somewhere, but
I'd like to suggest that you expand our
services to include student wies.
I don't really know anything about the
Clinic, but, if for instance, coeds obtain
services free of charge or at reduced rates,
I do agTee that wives should probably
hae to pay or apy more, but should still
be allowed access. Signed. Mrs. Anne
A. Kolslacel.
Dear Mrs. Wolslacel: Thank ou ery
much for our letter. We think ou huu
raised some very interesting questions. We
are sorry, but the Health Fducation Clinic
was set up strictly for coeds, whether
married or Single.
Wives of students may see physicians in
the Department of Obstetrics and
Gynecology or depending upon her
classification could be seen as an
intermediate patient or a staff patient by
one of our residents in the Department of
Obstetrics and Gynecology.
We think you have raised a good point,
where does the family of a student living
on a limited income go for health care''
Question: Is one more likely to
become impregnated after discontinuing
use of the pill? Does the length of time
increase. We are virtually dealing with a
100 percent increase over two years. If
the state believes in this drastic increase,
it should be a gradual one. Why gradual?
Solely to make future applicants aware of
the increase and to allow present students
time to ascertain new resources to
continue their education with. This
gradual increase is a necessity. If
authorities can't see the light on that,
they are either crude politicians or are
scapegoating out-of-staters. There will be
out-of-staters, who are now attending
UNC. who will not return to UNC. The
extra funds they will require won't be
available. If this exploitation is going to
take place, the least they can do is put in
a gradual increase for the reasons stated.
I believe the state is justified to
increase out-of-staters tuition. A 100
percent increase is absurd! Scapegoating
out-of-staters is a further absurdity! To
introduce a minimal increase is easily
comprehensible. State Inhabitants should
pay less. They are supporting the
university with taxes. They give
out-of-staters the privilege of attending.
All state universities have nonresidents.
Do realize that "foreigners" can help
educate the state students. Isn't it
cultural to have an Alaskan, a Californian
and a New Yorker? Can they not help
give a southerner more perspectus of the
nation? Isn't that, also part of the
college education you're receiving?Sure,
you don't need as high a percentage as
this school takes of nonresidents. But
don't prevent the lower middle class from
coming to UNC. At least don't force
them to leave now in favor of the richer
ones. A rich person is no better than a
poor one.
In this writer's estimation, it would be
a greater sacrifice to tag one a few extra
dollars to the resident, than to crucify the
to vote in
open the option of facing L.H. Fountain
in a primary for the Second Congressional
District Democratic nomination.
TWO formal proposals for a change
in the University calendar next spring
have been made. I have formally
requested the Chancellor to cancel exams
on May 1 and May 2, the day before and
the day of the primary, 3nd add exam
days on May 1 1 and 12. The proposal has
been referred to the Calendar Committee.
Calendar Committee member Bob Giiliam
has proposed that exams on May 2 and 3
be postponed to the 1 1 th and 1 2th. After
thinking it over, I agree with Gilliam's
proposal, because it would allow students
to work here or at home on primary day
without worrying about an exam on the
next day.
Letters to Chancellor Sitterson by
interested students and faculty would be
appreciated.

Yes. the length of time on the pill does
have an effect. Therefore, it ts usual.,

be on the pill longer than three to four
ears without discontinuing it for three

This advice is based on some studies done
recently on follow-ups of women who
hae been on the pill longer than four to
fne years where it took them a little
longer to get pregnant. We didn't say the
didn't get pregnant, it just took them a
little while longer.
As to sour third question. ;h?
effectiveness of foams and jellies m

not been done in detail. There are too
many variables in studying the
effectiveness of any contraceptive for it
depends on the user, the method and the
motivation of the users. Certainly, some
form of contraception is better than
nothing.
If one is not regular, rhvthm is not a
