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

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

age who contract VD."

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.

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.

"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.

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."

long term psychotherapy or
and at solving major life style
problems.
"Our bask function is Just to
make the caller understand
what happened, how K hap

how it caused the crisis,"
Edgar said. We make no at
