Opposing views of the guest speakers were
evident at the Zero Population Crowth (ZPG)
meeting held last night at the Newman Center.
Dr. William RodJick, obstetrician at the UK
Medical Center, and Dr. Michael McQuillan, associated with the Medical Center in Neurology,
presented their views on abortion as a part of
Series.
ZPG's Birth-DeatDr. McQuillan stated that the main arguments
given for performing abortions lack sufficient
grounds.
Medical Facts Misused
Elaborating on this opinion. Dr. McQuillan
said, "There is a misuse of medical facts when
we permit abortions on the grounds that the
potential mother may resort to suicide. Scientific
data denies this argument. Another argument, that
as the number of legal abortions increase the
number of criminal abortions decrease, can be
reputed by data obtained in Sweden where abortions have been legalized. There has been no
change in the rate of criminal abortions in that
country."
Most abortions performed on behalf of the
unborn or that of the potential mother were
called "ridiculous" by Dr. McQuillan.
He said, "We only know that there is an ap0
chance of the birth of a malproximate
formed baby to a mother who has been exposed
to Gennan measles, and medical technology is
improving these chances. I don't tliink that we
can determine that a child will be malformed

they need to be in touch with
people who have different ideas
. . .otherwise the learning element is lost."
And so, with the conclusion
of Lakey's introductory remarks,
the stage was set for the actual
workshop to begin. In preparation, the group adjourned to the
lawn in front of the Student Center so that the designated "speakers", "onlookers" and "hecklers"
could practice their techniques.
After a short practice session,
the "assembly" again moved,
this time to the site of their
forum, the mall outside the Office Tower.
As the first speaker, Dan Diaz,
a graduate student at the University of Louisville's Kent
School of Social Work, mounted
the chair and began to speak,
a crowd of curious students began to form, first rather sheepishly, then more openly as they

face any hostilities which your
listeners may have so that you
can deal with these hostilities
effectively."
Trying to instill confidence in
an at first somewhat apprehensive group, Lakey cited some of
the more practical advantages
of this type of training: learning
how to deal with overt hostility
and heckling from a crowd; being able to think fast under pressurewhile you are "on the
spot;" learning how to deal with
fear and not become immobilized
by it; and, after so much experience, becoming fluent in discussion and public speaking.
e
A
effect which he
attributed to this method of communication was that it would
open people up and put often
isolated groups back in touch
with all types of people.
"The radicals," he cited as
an example, "have isolated themselves and are having their ideas
reinforced by their own kind who

"The research done by many
professors is reflected intheirlec-tures,- "
Bright said. "Although
this individual may not publish
as often as some other faculty
members, there definitely should
be a place for him at the University."
He also said that he doubted,
whether the University could improve teaching while maintaining
its present emphasis on publication. He compared the dilemma
to former President John son's trying to conduct a war on poverty
at home as well as a war in
Southeast Asia.
"Like the country," he said,
"the University doesn't have the
financial resources to take such a
major step in one area without
cutting back in another."

Dr.Olshewsky said, "The

for the failure of undergraduate
education. The students often
are concerned only with the subject matter provided in the classroom and refuse to go beyond
the course requirements. They
confuse the meaning of ignorance
and stupidity. They refuse to
admit their ignorance concerning
a certain subject for fear of being
labeled stupid. "Thus the student remains
totally ignorant and gains nothing from the course. A solution
to this problem would be to
provide more facts and more

gang of masked gunmen robbed
some 100 persons of an estimated
$100,000 in cash and Jewels after
extending engraved invitations
to a party after the
fight, police said Tuesday.
As the guests many of them
arrived in
heavily Jeweled
groups at the house in Atlanta's
Northside, afterthe fight Monday night, they were met by a
smiling woman at the door. And
as they stepped inside, they were
greeted by a bandit wearing a ski
mask and carrying a sawed-of- f
shotgun.
The guests were then taken
to the basement where they were
met by other masked bandits
carrying shotguns. Six to eight
robbers were involved in the
heist.
The victims were forced to
dump their jewelry and cash in
the middle of the basement floor
and one of the gunmen used a
broom to sweep the loot into a
neat pile before stashing it into
pillow cases.
Some of the victims were
forced to remove all or some of
their clothes, then' to lie on the
basement floor.

"I've never heard anything

like it here before," said Detective W.II. Byrd. "There were so

The other woman, Barbara

was identified by police as a
friend of the man who is registered as the owner of the house
where the "party" was given.
Only a few of the victims,
many of whom were said to be
wealthy, filed complaints.
Among the victims was a New

$4S5 in cash and a $6,000 diamond ring and his police badge.
Efforts to locate the owner,
