Swap?
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.

Gold and the Hills
GOLD IS WHERE YOU FIND IT.
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.

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.
