JACKSON Separation of the sexes is un natural, according to one woman at Washington State University. The words are indicative of the movement in favor of coed living going on among the nation’s col leges. At Washington State, where coed living has long been estab lished, 41 residents were asked their opinions. “It’s easier to talk to guys and get their viewpoint,” a woman said. “The guys are very protec tive,” another said. A man men tioned that the women are handy for typing and mending. “With girls around all the time you have more respect for them,” one of the men said. “People have learned sexual control. There isn’t any sex on our floor unless maybe when someone’s boyfriend from out-of- town comes to visit,” a girl said. “You could sum up coed living by saying that women cease to be sex objects,” someone added, X-rays biggest peace threat, specialist says saying the women also begin to see men as people. ★ ★ ★ The University of Florida now has a “bitch booth” created by the student government. The bitch booths, set up Jan. 12, have received the attention of many students. Bitch booths were created for airing gripes and making suggestions to inform stu dent government of student ideas and problems. If student response is large enough (if they bitch enough), the booths will be continued once a week. ★ ★ ★ An article in the school news paper at Washington State brought out some of the evils of ROTC. Among them was the fact that many young men sim ply do not fully realize what they are getting into. Later, when they realize that ROTC is not for them, they have a very difficult time getting out. The article stated that most men seeking to get out of ROTC are not just “draft dodgers.” They include officers of military hon- ity?” ‘Anyone want a blind date with a wonderful personal- Numbers in on the cable. 2:30 3 (5) 15 (12) () denote channels 3:00 3 (5) 3:30 3 (5) 15 (12) 4:00 3 (5) 15 (12) 4:30 3 (5) 15 (12) 5:00 3 (5) 15 (12) Edge of Night Sesame Street (PBS) (Repeat of Wednesday) Corner Pyle Town Talk Kukla, Fran and Ollie (PBS) That Girl The World We Live In (NET) Bewitched What’s New (NETP) General Hospital Misterogers’ Neighborhood 6:00 3 6:30 3 15 7:00 3 15 7:30 15 8:00 3 8:30 15 (NET > :• ITT? 7^ > 9:00 15 10:00 3 10:30 3 11:30 3 (5) CBS News (12) Sesame Street (PBS) (5) Evening News (5) Family Affair (12) Campus and Community Today (5) Jim Nabors (12) The French Chef (PBS) (12) Masterpiece Theatre (NET) (5) Movie (12) Entertainment Now (12) Fanfare (PBS) (5) Final News (5) Dan August (5) The Detectives Bingo—Weekdays at 5, BCS*TV/9.

DAVIDSON, N.S. _ The most serious peacetime radiation threat to Americans is not nu clear power plants but ordinary medical and dental X-rays, radia tion specialist Dr. Karl Z. Morgan said Tuesday. Medical X-rays are responsible for 3,300 deaths per year in the United States and may lead to as many as 46,000 deaths in fu ture generations because of ge netic damage, he said in an ad dress at Davidson College. Morgan, director of the Health Physics Division of Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennes see, said in contrast, that statis tics indicate nuclear industries are responsible for only 18 deaths per year and may lead to 140 deaths in subsequent generations. Morgan, editor of the Journal of Health Physics and a member of the national and international committees on radiation protec tion, said all evidence indicates the more dosage a person re ceives, the more the damage done to his body and genes. “There can be no threshold dose so low that the probability of serious damage is zero,” he said. No dosage of X-rays or any kind of radiation is com pletely safe, Morgan stated. Cbe Battalion Opinions expressed in The Battalion are those of the student writers only.

Bright enough to want out when they find out what ROTC is really all about,” the article says. According to the article, some cadets really are conscientious objectors. After two years of book learning and “Mickey Mouse” drills, their first taste of combat training comes at sum mer camp, when they are expect ed to plunge bayonets into dum mies representing the enemy, shouting “kill, kill.” This one exercise alienates more cadets than any other, yet by this time, they are tied to a contract, and “the military almost owns them, body and soul.” Other disadvantages usually not told the cadet is immediate orders to active duty upon breach of contract, stricter conscientious objector procedures, fewer appeal rights, lower mental and physical in-service standards than induc tion standards, and no chance in the draft lottery.
