Laws regarding medical treatment of minors in respect to contraceptives, abortion and pregnancy need to be changed also, according to PilpeL Many 'states have already removed requirements that minoi.', can only be treated after parental consent.

Counselors move to Sea ton Hall The University Counseling Service moved to Seaton Hall from the Administration building last week because "we were sitting on top of each other," according to Vernon Williams, assistant director.
