NOTE: BRING FEE SLIPS UNIVERSITY STUDIO 115 N. Main — North Gate _ campuses By James R. Jackson Abortion was the subject in the Tech newspaper this past week. In a two-part series, abortion and birth controls were discussed. One point brought out by the article was that out-of-state abor tions are legal and available. A pregnant woman can go to New York or California and get her abortion from a doctor in an accredited hospital. The total cost is about $450-550. The amazing thing is that it can all be done over the weekend. So, for the occasional Ag who gets in this fix, that means his share would only run about $250. ★ ★ ★ The Rag, the local underground newspaper at TU, has gained the right to be sold on campus. This was the result of a three-judge federal court ruling. W. O. Schultz, assistant state attorney, is handling the case for the Board of Regents, which is appealing. “The ruling of a three-judge federal court is appealable only to the Supreme Court,” Schultz said. The ruling came after a precedent was set in August al lowing the Catalyst to be sold at Texas Tech. ★ ★ ★ The Women’s Liberators got upset last Wednesday when an Alpha Tau Omega football sign Was put up on the West Mall at TU.

The men, ages 18 to 23, are participating in a sleep ex periment conducted by the psy chology department. According to Dr. Wilse Webb, in charge of the project, the research is being conducted to test the effects of restricted sleeping over a period of time. In a previous study it was found that two per cent of in coming freshmen sleep five and one-half hours per day, two per cent sleep nine and one-half, and the rest vary in between. The psychologists believe the average person dreams in the last two to three hours of sleep. Pos sibly, by shortening this dream schedule, the average person could add three years to his life. ★ ★ ★ . Dr. David Rodnick, professor of sociology and anthropology at Tech, says communism does not work.
