Pill prescriptions decided Charges that the University Health Center is a "non service" center were answered recently by Dr. Samuel Fuen ning, Director of Student Health. The charges, printed in The Informer, the campus un derground newspaper, dealt with the health center's policy on dispensing of birth control devices and on venereal disease and pregnancy testing. An editorial in the Informer demanded that Student Health dispense birth control pills on request to both married and unmarried students. But a Student Health policy on this would be impossible, Dr. Fuenning said, since each doc tor must determine whether or not to prescribe the pill. "There are certain risks in volved in taking birth control pills, some quite serious, and therefore a determination must be made in each individual case." Dr. Fuennfng said, "The health center itself can set no specific policy since that would have the center entering the practice of medicine, which it is not licensed to do. Only the Individual docors are licensed to practice medicine." The editorial also requested assurance that results cf 0 I1 Q One of our Paulists calls It "home"... Home is where the heart is. Home is also wherever a Paulist is needed. Whether the Ptulist works tn a ghetto, a college campus, a city parish or a remote , corner of the United States, he is strving. The Paulist is ministering with words, deeds and sacra ment . . . and zealous care to the needs of God's People everywhere. He is meeting today's problems with thoughts of those that will arise tomorow. That is the Paulist way. It isn't easy but the worthwhile things of life seldom are.

"Results of pregnancy tests have always been held in the strictest of confidence," Dr. Fuenning said. "As for VD testing, there is a state law that requires we notify the parents of any student under 16 and certain ones over 18 years of age who contract VD." For those students over 16 who have become "eman UPC, RHA get togethei The Union Program Council (UPC) is working on better communication between the Union and dorm students. "Dorm students gripe because of the groups brought by the Union," Melvin Rogers, chairman of the Union's Jazz and Jave Committee said. 'Narcs' Continued from page 1 Flansborg gave the example that If someone has given the police reliable information in the past, and then tells police that he has Just seen a new supply of heroin at the residence of one of his contacts, then there would be obvious "probable cause" and a search warrant would be Issned. Before the officers left the classroom, Wessel was asked about the gold pin on his lapel. "It's a gold pig. I wear it to show people that policemen have a sense of humor.

"We feel that most of ear patients are in this category and generally do not notify parents of the results of VD testing," Dr. Fuenning said. "I invite anyone with specific complaints to bring them directly to my attention, so we can clear up any misun derstanding." "Then we find out they didnt say anything before the event The only reason is that there is no formal relationship between the dorm students and the Union." The UPC idea, which Rogers originated, is to set up a Dorm Union Relations Committee to bring together UPC and the Residence Hall Association (RHA). A meeting will be held at 8:30 p.m., Nov. 17, in room 237 of the Union to discuss creation of the committee, Rogers said. "Anyone who wants to help is welcome, but we need people who will work. You only get back what you put into something like this." Rogers recommends that at least one person from each dormitory be on the committee, and "be involved in some way with UPC." RHA President Allen Bestmann said the committee is "a good idea" because "we feel we have a lot to contribute to UPC in the way of ideas for programs. UPC President Tom Lortn quist said he was behind the committee because "more in volvement of independents in our programs will help us find out what we are doing right, wrong, and what we could be doing better. The Union has been stereotyped as a 'Greek organization, but our intent is to reach all students." service lends an ear Lincoln personal crisis A new 24-hour-a-day, 7 days -a-week "listening" service is now available through the Lincoln Personal Crisis Service.
