Dorm has ‘paper problem’
“I’m anxious to see if those potatoes I buried under it
are done!”
By JAMES R. JACKSON
A young woman at SMU is con
cerned over the amount of toilet
paper that has been going to
waste recently in her dormitory.
She posted a sign in her dorm
which read: “Do you have an
uncontrollable sickness ? The
dorm is using twice as much toilet
paper this year as compared to
last year. It is costing us $45
more a month . . .”
The House Mother had further
comment on the situation: “I
don’t care if it is a natural func
tion, I think it’s a disgrace!”

Grenelta Edmiston, a 19-year-old
who was bom at Fairbanks, Alas

high school.
Then she began to hitchhike
back and forth across the coun

According to Miss Edmiston,
“The California coast and from
Illinois eastward are the easiest
places to hitchhike. Texas and
the South are the worst.”
She confirmed what most boys
have known for years—“girls get
picked up much quicker than boys
do.” For example, she said it
took her only “two traveling days
to get from Lubbock to New
York.”

According to an article in the
SMU paper, The Daily Campus,
Jesse Jackson, speaking to blacks
and whites in Dallas, said, “we
are all in the belly of a whale,
a big white whale, a killer whale
. . . Moby Dick Nixon.”
Jackson, national chairman of
Operation Breadbasket, said he
thinks the real enemies to the
blacks are themselves. “The real
enemies are uncles, sons, and
fathers,” he said. “Know you ene
my. Get off each other’s backs.”
He said of the great white
whale, “He is not a mean whale.
He is a sick whale.” He added
that no matter what a person
believes in, what color he is,
whether rich or poor, that all
persons are in the whale’s belly.
“Whether you believe in the
whale’s system or not is irrele
vant.”
He says there have always been
more white folks on welfare than
blacks. “The reason is that wel
fare came into existence for white
folks.”
To defeat the whale he says,
“We’ve got economic power. The
wise use of our dollar will make
that whale do funny things.”
The UT Health Center now has
the Unwanted Pregnancy Coun
seling Service “which dispenses
firm professional comfort and
supplies accurate medical, legal
and practical advice” to univer
sity women who are often in
“complicated and bewildered tur
moil” after being diagnosed as
pregnant.
Dr. Paul Trickett, health center
director and gynecologist, explain
ed how the health center’s ap
proach is unique: “The counseling
is done in an expert medical en
vironment. Complete professional
psychological and psychiatric aid
and advice are offered to each
woman. All alternatives not just
abortion, are explained, and wom
en are educated about pregnancy
and birth control.”
According to the director of
the health service, intensely emo
tional women “often have the fear
that at any moment during a se
cret abortion, someone may burst
in and say, ‘Aha—what’s going
on here!’ ”
