Lady Luck smiles on 100 ticket winners
Blake Uekl, Amy Schultz and 98
olheT CSUF students won the rights
Wednesday to the last 200 season basketball tickets available to all students.
Uekl's name was the first called out
by Associated Students Sen. Joe Martucci during a noon drawing in the Free
Speech Area. Schultz got the last set of
two tickets, then   10 alternates  were
About 500 students gathered to see if
cards bearing their name would be
pulled from the big red box. The lottery
was the second phase in the three-way
distribution of 754 student tickets,
which allocated 540 tickets to students
who stood in line, 200 by lottery and 14
to handicapped students.
Basketball players Bernard Thompson and Derrick Riley drew out the first
winning card, which was read by Martucci. Later, other team members pulled
out cards while center Mark Gustin
read off names.
Moslofthecrowd stood quietly while
names were read. Occasionally a voice
demanded that someone "shake up the
box." When a card that did not conform
to the 3-by-J inch specifications was
drawn, some crowd members demanded lhat Martucci "throw it out."

Health Center accused of pushing the pill
Birth control pills are being "pushed" on students
who go to the CSUF Health Center, according to
Terry Hamilton, Human Sexuality instructor, and
several female students.
This allegation was emphatically denied by Dr. Lee
Schilling, the center's gynecologist, who said that he
provides  students  with  information and   not  per-
"Dr. Schilling puts a heavy emphasis on persuasion
and belitllement," Hamilton said. "Hecomes across as
implying thai he knows what's best, I'd like to know
his definition of the word 'push' because I've had
grown women come into my office and say they fell
coerced to lake the pill."
A 26-year-old student, who asked not to be identified, recalled an upsetting experience.
"I've been on the pill for eight years with no
problems," she said. "Last summer I began feeling ill
and when I stopped taking the pill 1 felt better. I went
to Dr. Schilling and he immediately prescribed a
different type of pill for me.
"I've done a lot of r
think it's right that if you're feeling bad because of the
pill the doctor should turn around and give it to you
again. 1 talked to the nurse there and she basically said
nothing else would work for me. They definitely push
the pill."
Another student, who wished lo be named only as
Claire, said lhat the pill seemed too easily available.
"I went in for a pelvic exam and I didnt even want
contraception," Claire said. "He asked me specifically
if I wanted Ihe pill. Is that the only contraceptive he
gives out? He's a good doctor but that experience just
hit me funny."
The gynecological section of the Center sees 2.000 lo
3,000 female students every year and 90 percent of
these women, according to Schilling, are interested in
attaining some form of contraception. Of this 90
percent, Schilling estimated that 95 percent decide to
use the pill.
"I dont push anything," Schilling said. "I give
objective information. I ask my patients to list their
priorities in what they want from a contraceptive. I tell
them that as the safety goes up the effectiveness goes
Schilling said that the "bad efffecls" of the pill are
stressed too much and frighten away potential pill
"What you stress will be remembered," he said, "and
so I do my best to emphasize the positive aspects of the
pill. There are l'/$ million abortions a year. One reason
for this may be that people get scared away from using
contraceptives. If we're lalkingaboui safely it's much
more dangerous to be pregnant or to have an abortion
than to take the birth control pill. Riding a bicycle is
riskier than taking the pill."
Hamilton disagreed with Schilling's statements that
the pill's side effects were little cause for worry.
"The pill has some real nice benefits but I just don't
trust the history of pharmacology," she said. "They
don't have a very good track record. The pill does what
it's supposed to very well but it affects so many other
things as well. Common sense says that when you're
taking something that's causing so many changes
there's a need for concern."
The pill has been linked with a number of side effects

Media Council hears complaints, instates editors
After a 40-minute debate centered
around charges by a CSUF ethnic studies professor that The Daily Collegian
has practiced racism, the Media Council approved the instatement of Alex
Pulaski as Collegian editor Wednesday
night.
The action came during a Council
meeting called to officially instate editors of five Associated Students publications and to review any specific
charges against the Collegian. Those
charges — in vague form — were leveled
at an Oct. 10 Council meeting.
Wednesday night* Council meeting
drew a slim quorum of six members:
Jim Wilson, representing the Commun
ications Department; Greg Wuliger,
proxy for Journalism Department representative Schyler Rehart; Jim Boren of
the Fresrto Bee; Gunnar Jensen of KM J;
Sen. David Chavez and AS President
Andrea Hedgley. Eighteen people attended the meeting, including 10 from the
Collegian.
In its blanket motion, the Council
also approved four other students to
editorships of AS publications: Larry
Banales(La Vozde Aztlan), Jackie Bul-
luck (Uhuru Na Umoja), Shannon Trimble (SAGE) and Alan Atamian (Hye
Sharzhoom).
The instatements, which had been
originally done at a May 10 meeting
later ruled invalid because a quorum
wasn't present, went undebated with
one exception.
Dr. James Rogers sharply criticized
the Collegian for what he called its
racist policies.
"I have never seen a more sustained
racist formal than I have witnessed with
this year's Collegian," Rogers said.
"Time and time again this semester,
(Pulaski) has neglected to cover ethnic
events. We know this is not done subtly.
"Pulaski is trying to create a racial
hysteria on this campus," Rogers said
later.
Rogers told the Council that he felt
Pulaski was unqualified to be editor of a
campus newspaper.
Several timea Rogers was asked by
Council members to state specific
charges.
He had none in writing (as was requested by the Council at its Oct. 10
meeting), but cited a recent cartoon
concerning a national holiday for
Martin Luther King's birthday, what he.
said was the Collegian's refusal to print'
a letter from several students, and the
Collegian's apparent disregard for the
current situation in Grenada as charges.
Pulaski said that, in regards to the
cartoon, he felt he had used poor judgment. He said he has printed every letter
he has received.
"I would guess that if I had a concern
about a campus newspaper and its editor, and I was a faculty member, I would
call him and voice those concerns, rather
than getting angry and coming to a
meeting and leveling charges," Pulaski
