-At a luncheon Wednesday at probbl diy h
('apstone House, the Columbia tig enhl
chapter of the Planned Parenthood tig enhl
Association offered USC Students a
qulasi-intellectual approach in the
form of an address by Jean Rosoff, 1
director of the D. 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,

lault, you, as a woman, should not
be held responsible.
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. How .can birth control
simultaneously be a matter of no
concern of the state and of Intense
concern to the state? Obviously, it
can't.

Well, boys and girls, it looks like
our omnipotent Board of Trustees
has come up with another present
for us. 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

gainst students.Article I, Section
Ine of the United States Con
titution says in part "No Bill of

Now if you don't believe me, just
it down and read the next
aragraph.
"The University reserves the

udents, to decline admission, to

Now if you are accused of
olating a rule or regul'ition of the
niversity of South Carolina, you
) have a right to a hearing by
our "impartial jury of peers,"
at is if you consider a committee
six faculty members and one
udent an "impartial jury of
,ers."
Hut. of course, to show that the
niversity has the students at
!art they do protect you by
iaranteeing you that "All hearing
,oceedings will be kept con
lential." It also by the way
ecludes your right to a public
,aring with protection of the
ess and public opinion.
You also have the right under
riversity rules to peaceably
semble. that is. if you apply 24
urs in advance in writing to the
,e president for student affairs.
iat's right, boys and girls,
ontaneous assemblages of
idents on campus are against the
les and regulations.
If you see a disturbance, be
rare that "Bystanders as well as
re active participants may be
arged with jointly engaging in
enterprise which is prohibited
law." Yes, the University has
rned you that you may be
