City, Uprovide
unique services
During the time you spend at the University - however long
it is - some problem may get to be too much for you to handle by
yourself. Maybe the draft, maybe money, maybe marriage, maybe
some overwhelming emotional hangup. If you find yourself needing
help for any kind of problem, many types of services are available
- generally at no cost - from both the University and the com-
munity.
PERSONAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL COUNSELING:
Counseling Division, Bureau of Psychological Services, 1007
E. Huron. This is one of the most popular - and, overcrowded
agencies on campus. The staff psychologists conduct individual
and group sessions to help students handle emotional and intel-
lectual problems.
* Mental Health Clinic, University Health Service. Psychia-
trists and psychiatric counselors here offer therapy for mental and
emotional difficulties and personality problems, including disturb-
ances of the nervous system. Neurologists are also on hand.
0 Office of Religious Affairs, 2282 Student Activities Bldg.
Don't let the name fool you. The ORA counselors are ready to help
students with any kind of problem, and their services come into
greater demand every year. But they always seem to make time to
help one more student, and they have a reputation for being there
when you need them in any kind of situation.
* Private psychiatric counseling. This is often suggested by
the free but crowded University agencies for students who need
more intensive therapy and can afford to pay private fees. How-
ever, the University services will always make room for the stu-
dent who can't afford a private psychiatrist.
31ARITAL COUNSELING:
* Both the Counseling Division and Office of Religious Af-
fairs offer marital counseling. Also popular with students who are
about to be married is a three-credit class on the marriage rela-
tionship offered in the literary college but open to all students.
BIRTH CONTROL ADVICE:
0 Health Service. 207 Fletcher. Staff gynecologists will advise
and prescribe for students. You pay only for the actual medication
and for any tests necessary.
* University Hospital, Gynecology Clinic. Students pay a $10
registration fee, but are then eligible for the same services available
at Health Service as well as for any other type of medical assist-
ance.
0 Planned Parenthood, 122'2 E. Liberty. The advantage here
is evening hours. A $10 registration fee is charged to those who can
afford it, but it goes for a good cause: Helping the clinic provide
free assistance for those who can't pay.
JOB PLACEMENT:
0 Bureau of Appointments, Placement Office. Prospective em-
ployers and employes are matched through this office all during
the year. A special office has also been set up just to handle teach-
er placement.
* Part-time Employment Office, 2200 Student Activities Bldg.
Both University and non-University jobs are available here. Inter-
views match students with job openings, and refer them to other
University agencies which may need more student employes.
* Summer Placement Service, 212 Student Activities Bldg.
Just what the name implies.
FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE:
* Office of Student Financial Aids, 2011 Student Activities
Bldg. This is the place to go if an emergency situation develops.
The loan office may be able to give you a loan or grant. In addi-
tion, the office is full of information on scholarships and grants
available. For smaller emergencies, you can also get a loan of up
to $50 from the University through this office, with a year to pay
back.
SPEECH OR HEARING PROBLEMS:
*Speech Clinic. 1111 E. Catherine. The clinic will provide
speech therapy to students free of charge for minor defects and
larger problems, such as loss of hearing.
READING DIFFICULTY:
* Reading Improvement Service, Bureau of Psychological Ser-
vices, 1610 Washtenaw. If there's one thing you have to do at the
University, it's read. This service teaches students to read faster
with better comprehension and also to study more effectively.
Courses, workshops and individual counseling are all available
DRAFT COUNSELING:
* Draft Counseling Center. 502 E. Huron (Baptist Center.
'Trained counselors are on hand to help students cope with the
draft in the best of available ways. The service is free with support
coming from student and community organizations, and the center
has become a tremendously popular source of advice on the in-
creasingly-pressing draft problem.
* The Office of Religions Affairs. One of the specialties of the
ORA is helping a student cope with both the practical and moral
questions raised by the draft.
LEGAL AID:
9 Student Legal Services. SGC sponsors a program by which
students may obtain counseling from a lawyer at a minimal rate.
Contact Mrs. Samuelson, 1546 Student Activities Bldg. for an ap-
pointment
- 0 Washtenaw County Legal Aid Society, 201 N. Fourth Ave.
For real trouble, lawyers are provided free of charge to students -
and the community, of course -- through this ,federally-funded
service. Legal aid has seen students through all the recent demon-
strations.
UNCLASSIFIABLE PROBLEMS:
9 Student Affairs Counseling Office, 1011 Student Activities
Bldg. This counseling office serves as a clearinghouse for every
kind of problem, and refers students to the proper agency or pro-
vides on-the-spot help.
Specter
of
draft
pervades
'U,
By JUDY SARASOHN
and MARTIN HIRSCHMAN
A cloud of uncertainty hangs
over every male student-the
fallout of an obscure foreign
war and the draft.
For some, the pressure is
more remote. Some are too tall
or too fat, or too myopic to
qualify to kill and be killed.
Others are just freshmen for
whom there is only a 40 per
cent chance (sic) that Vietnam
will still be around by their se-
ior year.
Nonetheless, the effects of the
draft have spread their tentacles
into every phase of life-espec-
ially at the University.
For example, there was once
a time when the dissaffected
student could take a year off
from school to work out his pro-
blems away from the academic
community. To do so now would
mean forfeiture of the under-
graduate's ticket to survival -_
his II-S student deferment.
And though it is difficult to
assess, the combination of the
draft and the war has been cre-
dited-with ample justification
-as a major cause of student
discontent as expressed in the
countless upheavals which have
recently broken the calm on
campuses across the country.
For the non-student there is
little pressure - he is merely
drafted without question. But
the educational elite of the na-
tion is given a four-year stay of
execution, providing all the time
he could ever want to contem-
plate the alternatives:
- Joining Reserve Officers
Training Corps in the hope that
a pacific desk job will accom-
pany the rank of second lieu-
tenant conferred at graduation.
This is also the rank of squad-
ron leaders in the Vietnam jung-
les.)
- Submission to the draft in
the hope that a berth can be
found state-side.
- Canada forever.
Pot: Ti
The one true statement that
can be made about campus 1969
is this: Pot is here to stay.
People smoke it-all the time,
all over. They smoke at frater-
nity parties. They smoke at.
home, with friends, and alone,
Some of them even smoke in
public. A guy asks you for a
light on State St., and you turn
around to find him-lighting a
joint.
For despite the law, and des-
pite the meaningless "there-
must - be - something-wrong-
with - -it - even - though - we
can't-find-it" attitude of the
American Medical Association,
et al, pot has become a way of
life around campus.
No proof has been established
of any damaging side effects
from pot, and everyone knows
it. Many students have simply
i discovered that they get a bet-
ter high with pot and would
rather smoke than drink beer or
hard liquor as their parents do.
The University's committee on
drugs has taken a drug use sur-
vey of students which they are
going to have to release sooner
or later. But they don't want to,
because the survey will in all
probability reveal what similar
surveys all over the country
have been showing: Usage of
pot is, to say the least, wide-
spread.
It's a hard problem for the
Ann Arbor police to handle. To
establish possession of the drug,
police must prove that the ac-
cused was carrying pot on his
person or had it in his house or
car-with his knowledge. It's
not enough for a person to be in
a place where there is pot being
smoked; corhplicity may be cit-
Byron Groesbeck, associate
dean of the graduate school, ex-
plains that enrollment dropped
only 26 students more than us-
ual during the winter term al-
though a drop of 161 more than
average had been predicted.
Winter enrollment was ex-
pected to drop to 8000 from 8337
in the fall, but the actual de-
crease was only 176 - mostly
draft casualties.
"There was no real decrease
in the winter term," Groesbeck
says, "and there are no signs
that there will be an unexpected
decrease in enrollment in the
fall term."
The July draft call is 22,300
-- some 3600 below t h e June
call. Groesbeck believes that the
decline in the draft will relieve
pressure on the graduate school,
and that there is now no indi-
cation that draft calls will in-
crease in size.
Veterans are starting to re-
apply in greater number than in
the past, which Groesbeck con-
siders a healthy sign, although
there has been no significant
rise in their enrollment.
Groesbeck admits that some
additional qualified applicants
are being admitted for the fall
to prevent any under-enroll-
ment.
He adds that without the draft
pressure the graduate schools
would have been forced to raise
selection standards this year to
compensate for increased num-
bers of eligible students. B u t
standards have stayed the same
because of the draft and the
number of students who simply
do not enter graduate school due
to draft pressure.
But other administrators dis-
agree with Groesbeck. Assistant
Dean Matthew McCauley of the
Law School believes the school
will be hit hard in the fall, but
does not yet have any enroll-
ment figures to indicate this.
"We hay lose five or 50," he
says. "It's anyone's guess:'
The Law School has taken a
survey of first and second year
students-to determine how many
thought the d r a f t would hit
them over the summer.
And 25 per cent of the stu-
dents wrote they thought they
would not be coming back in the
fall, explains Dean Roy Proffitt.
However, although two-thirds
of the students returned the sur-
vey, the results are inconclusive,
he says, because many men do
not actually know whether they
will return to school. "S o m e
men just thought their number
was up," Proffitt says.
Last year the school was af-
fected by the draft at the be-
ginning of the term, but for the
moment enrollment has not de-
creased. Summer enrollment is
up from 210 to 245. Proffitt ex-
plains that some of the law stu-
dents think that their draft
boards will leave them alone if
they maintain their status in
school.
There is also the fear in busi-
life
ness administration th a t the
school will not know until the
fall how many students have
been drafted.
"Our experience has been that
the men weren't notified until
July or August," says L. Lynn-
wood Aris, director of admis-
sions and assistant to the dean
of the school. "The future looks
bright now, but the draft could
turn on us."
In engineering, more and
more students are dropping out
for draft-deferred jobs.
"Almost every boy with a
bachelor of science- can get a
protected j o b in industry, so
why should they go to graduate
school?" explains Dean Gordon
Van Wylen of the engineering
college,
Van Wylen also says engin-
eering is hurt because the school
is essentially all male on the
graduate level and cannot in-
crease the number of women en-
rolled.
One alternative to the draft
I
- Resistance and a two-to-
five-year jail sentence for refus-
ing induction.
- Putting the choice off un-
til tomorrow.
For graduate students, the de-
cision is more urgent, or has al-
ready been made. A change in
the selective service law in 1967
eliminated almost all graduate
deferments.
Nonetheless, many graduate
students seem to be finding ways
out. Although from 16,000 to
25,000 graduate students in the
nation have received draft in-
duction notices, the University's
graduate school has not yet been
hard hit.
The biggest losses have been
in engineering, where the lure
ze neweR
ed, but actual possession is hard
to establish.
Convictions for sale of pot
are even more difficult to come
by. The seller usually must have
attempted to make a sale to a
police officer in disguise.
Because of these difficulties,
of more than 40 arrests in 1967,
only 15 convictions resulted.
And although narcotics laws
are stringent, police and courts
are generally fairly lenient with
first offenders on possession
counts. Many escape with pro-
bation and fines. But after that,
going gets rough.
The going price for pot, de-
pending on the grade of pot and
on how much busting has been
going on, ranges from $10 to $15
per ounce.
-The average Ann Arbor pot
smoker keeps his consumption
fairly "small time," says one
Detroit pusher, who counts local
sorority and fraternity houses as
a considerable part of his mar-
ket. Pot is sold and kept in small
lots.
Other drugs are gaining in
popularity, but none rank with
pot, which has become an ac-
cepted social convention. Many
students are wary of LSD be-
cause of well - substantiated
warnings that it may cause gen-
etic and lasting psychological
damage, although more and
more students are getting onto
LSD.
/ Also fairly widely used are
different kinds of pep pills, pri-
marily benzedrine - bennies -
and dexedrine-dex. Drugs are
called by all sorts of exotic nick-
names, from yellowjackets (nim-
butol) to blue footballs (????).
The speed family of drugs-
S
of draft-deferred positions in in-
dustry is drawing many students
away from graduate studies in
addition to those who are actu-
ally drafted. As a result, incom-
ing enrollment in graduate en-
gineering is down approximately
20 per cent for the fall,
But in the many schools-es-
pecially law and business ad-
ministration - there are fears
that the draft will finally reach
large numbers of graduate stu-
dents this summer.
However, few administrators
believe that any significant
number of draft-eligible gradu-
ate students will be drafted, al-
though official fall enrollment
predictions have not been made
yet.

'U' tradition
ampetamines like methedrine-
are also gradually coming into
wider use, although as in the
case of LSD, students tend to be
somewhat wary of them and
their highly publicized dangers.
And every year, there is al-
ways a new crop of sources and
great highs. One year, it was the
banana thing. Another time,
students were buying capsules of
amyl nitrate "amy" or "popper",
a medicine for heart patients,
and sniffing it through Vicks
inhalers to create a floating sen-
sation.
Something new is bound to
circulate each year, with vary-
ing degrees of truth attached to
the rumors. It is highly ques-
tionable still if anyone ever got
high from a banana, no matter
how they were baked, broiled,
ground or barbecued.

truths of Pizza Bob
By TORE LEV
0FTEN SOME PEOPLE go unnoticed just because their lives are
more humdrum and more usual than ours.
Pizza Bob, manager of Loy's Pizzeria at State and Packard, has
never been in the public's eye. You might very well ask how a human
being weighing nearly 300 pounds and standing only 63 inches high
could avoid it.
But there are no ballads about Pizza Bob, even though he rolls
along as well as the Mississippi River ever did-
Bob has a huge, immobile face which in democratic fashion
greets little old ladies and hippie-radicals and high school greases
and two-headed-six-eyed-Hiroshima mutates w i t h the self-same
"What'll it be?"
No one, no matter how bizarre, will ever make Pizza Bob blow
his cool. Like the provervial tortoise, he works at the exact speed,
whether two or twenty are jammed into his little shop.
HE IS AN inspiration to all of us hung-up, neurotic students.
"Bob, our hockey team just lost 10-0." "That's okay it could have
been ll."
"Bob, I've been putting in a lot of time at The Daily lately.
"I knew someone who worked at The Daily. He had a heart attack
and died." "Are you kidding me?"
