C. office of Planned Parenthood. Birth control and related issues are purely a concern of the woman and herI physician. A girl does not need the consent of three doctors to have her tonsils removed, so why should she need the consent of three doctors to have her ba by removed? 'l"'or, by 24 weeks of pregnancy, it is a baby ). But is birth control really the co(ncern of just the patient and the physician? This question must be asked, must be stressed. Does the husband count for anything? Suppose he doesn't want his wife to I. ('ontracept? No man is an island; no couple, married or otherwise, lives uinto themseb'es. Society has a1n inte'rest in their affairs as they affect society. And what about this live-month old unborn child who is going to b~e aborted? Doesn't he ('ount for anything? No. Only the wornan who is pregnant counts, seems to say Planned Parenthood: We' worry about birth control first, andi then we worry about abortion, lwen use birth control doesn't work.

Orone hand. Mrs. Rosoff says this: that It Is strictly the In t('rpersonai matter of patient and doctor. Yet a few minutes earlier, she pointed out that the govern ment has a deep Interest in its populous.

During registration copies r of the "General Conduct a Regulations" were supposed to r have been handed out to each s student. I, like many of you, didn't receive mine. After I discovered a copy of these rules the other day, I took it p home and read it. What I read bordered on the ridiculous. That is, if they weren't for real they would ri be ridiculous. st Fifth Amemnnt. d Page one, number one, in part r says, "Students who commit i1 crimes against the laws of South Carolina, when apprehended by the civil or university police, will be prosecuted by the proper v authorities in addition to any ac- I tion that the university may take." d Well, that's just fine and dandy. Y( Despite the fact that the Con stitution of the United States says, "nor shall any person be subject s for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy" (Fifth Amendment). The Board of Trustees has decided that students are subject to U jeopardy of both civil and h university proceedings for the same offence. fi( Now if you are under the im- h( pression that all you have to do to p keep yourself out of trouble with the University is not to get accused of violating the laws of the State of Ul South Carolina, you're wrong. as These rules and regulations ha require that each student, shall, vi "conduct himself at all times with T1 propriety, and exhibit conduct both sp on and off campus which. is st becoming to a Carolina student." ru Vague Rule Not only is this rule vague, but it am is also subject to a wide range of M interpretation.
