Beautiful McCorkle Place 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 Though official recognition and support have been withdrawn by the faculty and administration.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 7S Years of Editorial Freedom Harry Bryan, Editor Mike Parnell Managing Ed. Glenn Brank News Editor Lou Bonds Associate Ed.

Gerry Cohen 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. Dr. TsU Cr::: Question: I hear there is a new rnail order pregnancy testing service in Chapel 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 Association located on the corner of Franklin and Columbia Streets. The:: mailing address is P.O.

You may write, phone or drop by :,: a free instruction sheet and urine sample container. The test requires no 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, Inquisitive Reader. Dear Inquisitive Reader: The most V til J 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 ph:-::s e:ongat:on o! constriction dans o t! penisi Cne! redundant resuinn; iron (foreskin or fold of the penis coer:ng the end of the peni". venereal wrts and herpes (an inflammatory virus disease or the skin) have also been considered g v-d reasons for circumcision The final decision must be made between you ar.d your phys:c:ir.. The cost of the circumcision is 520 at delivery and $"5 for an adult whether a p::ate staff patient. VYe have been told the operation can be done through the Infirmary with the cooperation of the Department of Surgery 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.

I do think Me should be included because their problems do involve tudents-i e. their husbands. My particular problem u that I hae not been able to find a seatisfactor means of birth control and I trying to get some more adice. I hae found the pmate phsician I go to in Chapel Hill not very interested or helpful, so I was seeking a doctor I thought might be able and willing to help. I thought vurel I'd 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. MAYOR LEE. UNC Professor Thad Beyle, and Duke Administrator Joel Fleischmann will speak in Durham spent on the pdl hire my effect in thi cas As an alternative method of birth control. hat is the effectiveness cf contraceptive foams or jellies used m conjunction ith rhythm? Supposing one is not exactly regular can she still be "safe" for 14 days after the ont of heT last period (assuming ovulation ill not occur before then) - Stoned. I need answ erv Dear 1 need answers: Yes women are .ore likely to become impregnated jf:e: discontinuing use of the pill. Yes. the length of time on the pill does have an effect. Therefore, it ts usual., recommended to a prl who has r started her family et that she should no: be on the pill longer than three to four ears without discontinuing it for three to four months and using some method 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 conjunction with rhythm, studies have 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 gotxl method for birth control.

May I suggest th? title, "Could the brutality of college football and pressure of winning have gone too far." Ignorance of the case keeps me trom continuing 3t this po;nt. but I would like to know more abot the causes of Arnold's overexertion.
