It's Legal, DA Says SACREMENTO, Calif. (UPI) — Wife-swapping may be a bit un¬ orthodox, but it’s perfectly legal as far as the Sacremento district attorney’s office is concerned. “Occasional acts of illicit inter¬ course do not constitute adulterous cohabitation,” said Chief Assistant District Attorney Robert Puglia. His opinion, made public nesday, was occasioned by a investigation of a 64-member that engaged in spouse Puglia explained that adultery against the law, but only when is more than a “casual act” consenting adults. As for the wife-swapping police said it apparently broke during the investigation. Officers had learned of it through a couple who advertised for new couples seeking “mature fun.” The husbands in the group were mostly wihite collar executives in their 20’s, police said. Single per¬ sons and unmarried couples were not admitted. One husband told police that the club eliminated the need of going to taverns to strike up acquaintan ces with strangers of the opposite sex.

In the gold-bearing counties of north Georgia it may not always be in the earth. Rather it may be in tourists, who come to enjoy the romance of the old gold workings along with the mountain streams and summer climate. The nation’s first big gold rush was in North Georgia in the first half of the 19th century. Dehlonega is the center of the region and until Civil War times the U. S. Government had a mint there. Gold has been worked there periodically since, depending on the price. At its present controlled price, Georgia gold mining has not been profitable. But now there is a report that it may be revived, that a geologist says he ihas found enough veins of ore in White County to warrant dredging. Dredging? All right, as long as you stick to watercourses. But no more washing down of our hill¬ sides, please, no more exposing the naked soil In the lovely moun¬ tains. Unless somebody finds the mother lode, there’s not enough gold in all White County to war¬ rant this kind of despoliation. — Editorial in Atlanta Journal. A Dean's Letters Spell the Demise • l Of the 'Soft Life' Charlotte, N. C. Historically, the ‘^gentleman’s C” has been a standard expression for an acceptable , although far from laudatory, passing mark in college. Now Davidson College, a small Presbyterian school 20 miles north of here, is making it impossible for brainy students to settle for a “gentleman’s C”. Students with a grade average below what they’re believed capable of achieving are now being invited to improve their work or leave'. Recently, 94 sopho¬ mores and juniors received a let¬ ter that stated in part: .. You are felt to be an under¬ achiever ... No later than the end of spring semester next year the executive committee of the faculty will determine whether or not your record justifies continu¬ ance in college.” The school will base “under adhieveing” on a formula developed to project an entering student’s potential. This grade projection is based on an applicant’s high school record, the academic standing of his high school, and his score on college entrance exams. If a person’s grades go over his predicted average by half a quality point or more, he’s classified as an “over-achiever.” If, however, he sags half a quality point in the other direction — he gets the letter and an invitation to talk things over with faculty members and staff advisers. Davidson, with an enrollment of just over 1,000, is experiencing the same pinch that plagues prac¬ tically all colleges and universities today. In 1953, it turned down 64 applicants. This year the college will trun away 700. Bikini Coeds Leave "Skin Hill r# Ames, Iowa (UPI) Those bikini clad coeds are gone from the grassy slopes of Iowa State University’s “Skin Hill.” The University said the girls sunbathing on the hill proved too distracting, disturbing and some¬ times indiscreet for the male stu¬ dents. From now on, those scantily clad girls will have to soak up the sun at East Linden Hall — a girls’ dorm off limits to males. Dr. Barbara Forker, head of the women’s physical education de¬ partment, said the girls had used “Skin Hill” as a sunbathing spot for years. “Then it became a coeducational meeting place,” she said.
