Problems

emotional reaction to an
abortion is relief, but “some
guilt may come up in subtle
ways,” according to Hoffman.
Allison is a University senior
majoring in art who was faced
with a ‘problem pregnancy’ a
year ago. “I never cried when 1
found out I was pregnant,” she
said, “but I was ill for three
weeks. I would get sick to my
stomach six or seven times a
day, and I couldn’t get out of
bed. I knew I didn’t want it
and the doctor at the Health
Services said I was literally
trying to throw up the baby.”
Although she had been
planning to go to New York in
a few weeks, Allison decided
one night that she couldn’t
wait any longer. “I broke
down,” she said, “and called
some agencies in Atlanta to
arrange an abortion. 1 got on

Allison’s initial post-abortion
reaction was profound relief.
She was brought up in a
typically middle-class home,
however, and feels that some
guilt remains because of the
way she was raised. “If I sat
down and really thought about
the abortion 1 would get
depressed,” she admitted.
Allison feels that the
abortion was indirectly the
cause of her split with her
boyfriend. “He was an angel to
me the entire time,” she said,
“but we never actually talked

think that the responsibility

even been in debt before but

his brother to pay for the

Allison received no

her abortion and feels that,

long time to get better. Until a

able to talk about it until

During the period after her
abortion, Allison often woke
up crying in the middle of the
night, although she denies
having any conscious guilt
feelings.
“Abortion legislation should
be liberalized in Georgia,”
Hoffman said, “and the people
should be better educated. Dr.
Campbell agreed that if legal
abortions were more readily
available in Georgia, many girls
would be spared the emotional
stres of having to go out of
state for such an operation.

ORTONVILLE, Mich. (UIP)
With the assistance of friends
from throughout the nation
Glenn Currier and his “family”
are rebuilding their burned-out
goat farm and restoring their
herd.
A 10-year dream to make a
living off the land went up in
smoke for Currier and his wife,
Sara, March 3. when a
deliberately set fire destroyed
their two barns and killed 70
nanny goats and six rabbits.
Stories and pictures in
newpapers about the family’s
plight brought more than
$2,500 in donations to help
them rebuild. And an account
of the tragedy in the Dairy
Goat Guide, a trade journal,
brought pledges of goats from
a dozen states.
$1.25
Staying up all night with
Dick Gibson, the
midnight-to-dawn talk show
disc jockey, is less than a tieat
for the acute insomniac, but a
real pain for those who can
hardly keep their eyes open
anyway. It’s not deathly
uninteresting, but Stanley
Elkins has tried to produce an
epic about' material that just
isn’t of epic proportions. The
result is a long, tedious work
which attempts to be
philosophic, but somehow
isn’t.
others that work the farm with
them.
”W» all live together like one
big .nily,” Currier said. “The
neighbors are really down on
us aiound here. So we just call
it a “family.” The word
‘commune’ relates to drugs so
much and the people really get
excited about it.”
Currier, 31, and his wife, 30,
and the other members of the
“family’’ pooled their
resources, left their city jobs,
and bought 42 acres of land in
southeastern Michigan between
populous Flint and Pontiac,
determined to make their living
as dairy goat farmers.
The real messages are in a few
choice individual lines. Elkins
tries to give a panoramic view
of America listening to the
Book review
radio, but he manages to make
all America look like a teeming
mass of misfits, loners and
weirdos all of whom seem to
listen to the radio from
midnight to dawn.

"Southern Mail,” Antoine de
Saint Exupery. Harcourt Brace
Fovanovich, Inc. 120 pages.
$1.45
“Southern Mail” is the story
of a dramatic airplane flight
and a young French pilot’s
tragic love affair. Saint
Exupery has managed to
vividly capture the thrill and
pure adventure that enticed
venturous young men to fly
back in the early ’20’s. He has
replaced the technical jargon of
flying with poetry - the
poetry one experiences when
the earth and fragile
civilization is laid out
underneath man-made,
mechanical transportation.
The author tells us of love
and adventure and escape —
escape from the drab, everyday
world into the world of the
unknown, escape from the
tragedies of reality, escape
from a world in which the
romantic, French pilot could
not cope.

Publiching House. $2.85
“Land Without Justice” was
written both as an
autobiography and as a history
of the author’s homeland,
Montenegro. Djilas is heavy
handed on recounting
numerous tales that have little
or nothing to do with his own
life story, but which illustrate
the bloodthirsty natures of the
Montenegrins. As a result, one
tends to wander away from
Djilas as the focal point of the
book. However, Djilas, in
recounting his anecdotes,
presents himself and the people
of his land as being totally

Friends help goat family
rebuild after farm fire
Last weekend, Currier and
other members of the
commune put finishing touches
on a new barn donated by a
benefactor. Ms. Currier is out
collecting donated goats.
“We’re rebuilding,” Currier
says. “We’re really short of
money and have a lot of work
to do. But we’ll make it.” The

It must be spring
It must be spring. Couples strolling hand-in-hand across
campus are a sure sign of spring. In fact, the people who
stayed in all during the winter are walking together, or just
sitting out alone or in groups on the grass in front of
Memorial Hall and all over North Campus enjoying the
somewhat unpredictable May sunshine. It surely can’t be
time for exams yet. There must be better things to do
spring quarter than study.
McCarthy
Husband hunting isn’t as
popular with University coeds
as myth would have one
believe.
According to landom
questioning of that alleged
man-chasing broad, the
majority of women came to
college simply to “get an
education."
Also running contrary to the
picture painted by long years
of off-color jokes, one coed
admitted she came to college
“to avoid marriage. This guy
was on my back, and I wanted
to get away before 1 made a
mistake.”
The large majority of women
gave the expected answers; to
decide what they wanted to do
with their lives, to get away
from parents, to get out of
their home towns and a lack of
anything else to do.
Reflecting a sign of the times,
one coed said, “I never
considered doing anything else
after I graduated from high
school. My parents have just
expected me to go to college,
probably ever since I was
born.'

attuned to each other. The
history of one is the history of
the other. Djilas’ writing is
fluid and heavy, relying on
somber descriptions and
endless bits of Montenegrin
philosophy. Were the events he
describes not so barbaric, his
writing would bo stifled in his
sobriety.

“Memories of a Catholic
Girlhood,” Mary McCarthy.
Harbrace Publishing House.
$2.45
“Memories of a Catholic
Girlhood’’ is purposeful
nostalgia. Here, Mary
McCarthy has made a
trenchant contribution to the
history of her development as
an artist. As a unique
autobiographical form, the
collection of childhood
remembrances is more valuable
than any similar critical
account that might possibly
follow. It is here we find her
selected reality.
In the preface she admits
“most of my memories are
colored, 1 fear, by an
untruthfulness that I must have
caught from my father,” an
extravagant romantic.
Consequently, the book is a
super-real autobiography. It
serves no allegiance to the
subject of Catholicism (beyond
nostalgia) as McCarthy
fluctuates from the “Beyond
Freedom and Human Dignity”
stance to a James Joycian
persecution complex into an
explanation of strange
romantic accounts of family,
“ordinary people who behaved
quite oddly.”
