Panel Discusses Questions on Birth Control Pills
Oral contraceptives. These two words can arouse feelings of approval, disapproval, or even indifference.
Some may think of them in terms of ethical or religious mores, others as related to population growth, and others may stop to consider the medical effects.
All three aspects were discussed by guest members of Sigma Xi, honorary pharmaceutical society, in a panel discussion of "Oral Contraceptive Drugs: Their Implication and Use," presented at 7:30 p.m. last night in Summerfield.
Dr. Helen Gillis, Lawrence pediatrician, speaking on the medical aspects of the contraceptives, said, "They are a major medical implement; effective, reasonably priced; and a safe means of birth control."
"The major advantage over other forms of contraception," she said "is their 100 per cent effectiveness. Other forms may be only 70-80 per cent effective."
Prof. Ericksen, professor of sociology, spoke on the effects of contraceptives on population growth.
The new oral contraceptives may be taken up to four years with no indication of an increase in cancer.
"The method of taking the drugs is left too much to personal initiative," he said, "It's alright for an advanced society, but the people of underdeveloped countries may not
be table to take their pills effectively every day."
"The moral rightness of the use of the contraceptive drugs cannot be proved by reason alone," said Asst. Prof. Robert Wiley of the Pharmacy department.
Wiley was chosen to speak on the Catholic viewpoint of the drugs' use.

official tribute to John F. Kennedy that Monday afternoon at the aischool convocation. The invocation was given by the Rev. Brendan Downey, O.S.B., chaplain or the Catholic students on campus.
Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe, in his address, paid tribute to the immortality of Kennedy's spirit.
"What he said here, what he said elsewhere, what he accomplished, what he believed, will not be forgotten," Chancellor Wescoe said.
And for thirty days the campus observed the official mourning period for its dead President. People gradually sifted back into normal life of classes, books and tests.
And now, a year later, we still remember the agony and the tragedy. And we always will remember.
Now in its third printing, the year's funniest LP from the most famous campus misfit!

'Chap Stick' goes along!
"Whether it's the fishing or basketball season, I always carry 'Chap Stick,'" says the L.A. Lakers' star. "During the winter, I leave a heated gym and go into the cold night air. That's when my lips
used to get sore. And out fishing under the summer sun, they dried out—even cracked. But now, summer or winter, 'Chap Stick' does the job —soothes my lips and helps heal them fast!"
A favorite in Canada.
The lip balm selected for use by the U.S. Olympic Team.

"The Protestants are receptive to the beneficial impacts of the pill on birth control," said Rev. Paul Davis, minister of the Plvmouth Congregational Church in Lawrence.
The Protestant has nothing at all against the oral contraceptive as long as it does not change the basic beliefs of pre-marital chastity and marital faithfulness, said Davis. Davis.
