4 Friday. December 3.1971 Section 2 University Daily Kansan ZPG Plays Informative Role By PHILIP WILDMAN "Do you want to scare 'em with some statistics," I asked? Just tell them "zero population growth will occur . . . one way or the other." responded Kenneth Armilage, professor of biology at the Dontail County chapter of the Zero Population ZPG (ZPG). Armitage was explaining the philosophical and organizational structure of the group in Douglas W. Johnson's book *The Organization* the national ZPG organization While the 400 chapters "We were involved in political activity in the last election and hope to be involved in the next," Armitage explained. Kenneth Armitage "The chapter tried to gather as much information on the en- Kantan Photo The ZPG, as well as has, an artifact of the history museum.

Douglas County ZPG president . . . throughout the United States, composed of about 33,000 members, may organizationally hold its essential role. "We are trying to get the United States to adopt a population policy such that all decisions of government would take into account population implications," said Armitage. He explained that three years ago Paul Erlich, population-holder of other people, were sitting around and decided to form a population-control group wore main goals of be an educational and PAST GROUP projects of the Dougins County chapter have included providing speakers on topics of problems for interested groups. vivirional stands of the candidates involved in the last election and to make that inclusion the membership," he said. THE CHAPTER president pointed out that disseminating information was the most important group has in trying to effect change. Specific long-term goals of ZPG include family limitation. One proposal in this area is to place a child under the care each year she doesn't have a child. country is and adopt whatever measures necessary to attain this number. "To change one law in one way is much too simplistic and I think that whatever kind of pattern develops, we need to make it as fair to all segments of the data as possible." Armitage said. "HOPEFULLY THIS CAN be achieved in the democratic tradition, that is by moral and justice in laws pursuant to the tax laws. Armitage holds a lot of faith in the younger generation. But, he added, the United States should decide what an optimum population for the "When you talk to college and high school people, they say that they're limiting their family size to population growth." he said. But, he is less than optimistic when referring to the older generation as a whole. "President Nixon hasn't shown much concern for population and environmental problems, so he has not led a leadership here," he continued. He went on to say that due to the age group of most lawyers, he had a hard time with whole experiences and cultural attitude,” there is a difference between them and younger people that makes it difficult for the lawmakers to accept the fact of change. Here, he is even needed. "I THE AMERICAN way equals "growth is good" APG is saying growth may not be good, that it may be harmful," he said. But, he pointed out that a recent Gallup poll showed that more than 50 people are aware and interested in the problem. That poll and the feedback he has gotten from young people, make him more positive than negative about the problem. Armitage added that most criticism against ZPG has centered on abortion support. The group is in favor of abortions, but believes there should be no compulsory abortions and that they should be an option. HE POINTED to another specific criticism sometimes leveted at ZFG—that it favors the work of some minority groups. "The ZPG position is that the real population problem isn't with minority groups, but with the affluent majority, and most of them are directed at the middle class," he responded, to the criticism. "Any form of family-size limitation must apply equally to all groups of our population. The number of children of the poor or of minority groups that apply only to the poor or to those under 18." "They should be legalized, I don't know if I'd have it done now," she said. "I wouldn't unwanted children in the world, that it's essential to population control." Another local member, in this case, a member at large, is Dr. Dale Clinton, Lawrence health officer. Asked of his goals, he said there was "nothing specific," but that educational efforts were important, and that the governors were influenced in liberalizing laws relating to population control. CLINTON SAID that he has been connected with the group for less than a year. Jane Averill, Wilmington, Del. sophomore in liberal arts and secretary at the university in the awareness of ZICG said the local group has 258 members. 'President Nixon hasn't shown much concern for population and environmental problems...' NASKED OF HER personal motivation behind supporting the organization, she said, "I was surprised when I learned a problem in a biology course." He went on to say that the mechanisms by which women get the pill are too complex, and that "you should be sold" property stores. Miss Averill said that she has gotten varied responses from the group and to her involvement with the group and that 'the most people get involved' "We could achieve zero population if we made them (burth control pills) readily available right now," Clinton said. Asked why most such devices were made to be used by women, the inventor asked how motivated, and that so far, "that is the only efficient method we use." HE POINTED out that humans did not learn anything and that only two of the several hundred groups involved found a correlation between memory and learning. Asked of the availability of locations in Lawrence, Clinton said that they are and will be willing to go through the mickey mouse, it is easy get an He cited as evidence the conclusion, from an economic perspective, that in a long year, that if a definite population policy were not formulated soon, the government would not be able to meet the growing needs they require and demand. "If there is any connection, it's foggy," he said. "I DON'T PLAN to have any children. If I did, it would probably be a maximum of one," he said. Babcock said that he is optimistic in that people are more likely to solve problems than they have been, but pessimistic in that there is no problem. "You don't realize the population problem until you go to college," she says. "City or to go a football game; then you become a警犯," he says. "The national organization has been trying to do a lot but has been running into trouble with Congress," he said. Nell Bly, Arkansas City senior technology and also a ZPG member that she joined the group mainly to help them a little financial. referring to the population, "I think it's past the critical point." Nolan Babcock, Shawnee Mission senior in pharmacy and biochemistry, a member of ZPG for three years, said, in SIE SAID THAT the periodic newsletter the national group distributes is rewardingly informative. Miss Bly said that she felt cultural outlooks have to be changed before adequate population control will occur. "We're all socialized—so far it has been toward stereotyped roles but we're all more tolerant of change. The family unit is a good thing, but not the only way." "I optimistic for change, but it takes time, it takes some doing. It takes a lot of effort to the point of making people aware of alternatives," she said. THE LOCAL CHAPTER of ZPG is comprised of an elected board. It has a president, a president-elect who sits on the board a year before taking over and another, a secretary, a treasurer. In addition, it has two members large, one a doctor, the other a representative is responsible for policy decisions and the overall representation is responsible for policy decisions and the overall representation. Group members form an organization committee, an environmental publicity committee, a political action committee and a memoir committee. These are the work groups of the organization and each is responsible for working on at least one major commitment. Prospective members can join ZBG at 398 Snow Hall.

"I don't consider cheating to be even a minor problem," Robert Clementi, a civil engineering professor of civil engineering, said. "I've witnessed no incidents of cheating." **DON'T HAVE** to worry about cheating. "Robert Drummond, the teacher," he whispers of chiculture and urban design said, "because I give open book exams. I think students learn the material better with this course." HE SAID HE TOOK the presentaid spreading students through the room to prevent the temptation of looking over another student's "When students sit close together, they will probably look on you as if you're not ready to consider that yielding to inevitable temptation, not Dean Lebesky, assistant professor of business, tells his classmates to bring sheets to the exam. They may bring in a varying number of sheets crammed with as much text as they can find. In any way they can take the exam and not be hindered by having to memorize items that both teachers want. spaced students throughout the room and used graduate student monitors. THE FIRST TIME Clark sees a student cheating, he gives them a warning. The second time he sees it, he takes away their exam and gives the student a zero. There is a possibility that he will also ask the student to explain his actions and the reasons faculty members of the school Cheating is clearly defined in the University Senate Code. According to Article II, section 6: "An instructor may, with due authority, assign unsatisfactory, student work which is a product of academic misconduct. If an instructor deems other judiciary action to be inappropriate, he or she reported to the dean of the school in which the course is offered. If student who is charged with cheating is unsatisfied with the resolution of the matter at the court, the student will be viewed by the University Judiciary." Raymond Nichols, executive secretary of the University, said the University Senate Code serves just as a general policy, but he added that for cheating to be set up by the various schools and their professors.
