Students
favor coed living
By JAMES R. 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?”

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.

ed for outstanding performance
and so on,
“Most of them are among the
brightest of the cadets. 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.
