Today is

I.ike the spring season. Valentine's Day is popular among the young for its ability to generate a spirit of love and tenderness
But Zero Population Growth (ZPG) is also in on the scene. As a matter of fact, it has declared today as "Love Carefully Day."
"When we suggest that teens ‘love carefully,' the words are chosen deliberately," said Deborah Morgan, an official of the ZPG group. "Loving means caring, and a loving teenager will think more than twice about the risks and disadvantages that come from early pregnancy and parenting."
According to ZPG, the most effective method of birth control next to
ZPG Love Carefully Day
sterilization is the pill, which is most effective when taken every day at the same time.
Douching, a common practice among teenagers to prevent pregnancy. has been labeled an "unsafe" method by ZPG and the National Organization of Non-Parents.
A study done by ZPG reveals that the biggest problem or cause of illegitimate births is "ignorance." A survey of parents showed that only 44 per cent of the fathers know when, during their wives' menstrual cycles, they could become pregnant. Only 62 per cent of the mothers knew.
"A female's 'safe time' or time when she could engage in sexual intercourse with the least chance of becoming pregnant is just around or during her menstrual period." Morgan said. "But. a female is most fer-
tile during the middle of her cycle.''
Dr. Euan G. Robertson of the Jackson Medical Center considers illegitimate children a “medical and social disaster."
Dr. Robertson has asked the federal government for a $2.5 million grant to study the consequences of illegitimacy upon mother and child
"We know how illegitimacy happens; we'd like to learn why. and what we can do about it." Dr. Robertson said.
The Center for Health Statistics reports the national average of illegitimate births as 14.1 percent.
But in Dade County the average is an entire seven points above this figure.
A ZPG study showed that in New York the problem is so grave that the situation has meant “substantial costs imposed on taxpayers and massive, probably lasting, damage
inflicted on the children by adults both irresponsible and antisocial."
In 1975. Washington. D.C. became the first American city to have more children born out of wedlock than born to married women. The figures: 4,988 illegitimate compared to 4.758 legitimate.
Another problem of concern to ZPG is that of venereal disease.
"Most people still think you can only get venereal disease only through completed intercourse with an infected partner. But that's false." Morgan said. “You can get venereal disease even from kissing an infected partner who has an open sore in his or her mouth."
Morgan as added that one can celebrate Valentine's Day in his or her special way. but that “loving, and loving carefully, is most important to teenagers."

Lester Williams, Carol City high's All-American defensive tackle and he most sought after college foot-rail prospect in the nation, signed a ichoiarship grant, yesterday, with the University.
Williams, a 6-5, 264-pounder, hose Miami over such national rowerhouses as Oklahoma. Ohio State. Michigan, Colorado and UCLA
"1 enjoyed taking the other trips to interested universities)," said Williams at an afternoon press conference. "but I want to stay at home
"Another reason why I decided to come here is because they are building here.and I feel I can be a big ingredient in that building."
Arnie Romero, the UM's outside linebacker coach and the man who recruited Williams for nearly three vears. agreed with Williams and then cited other reasons for Lester picking the Hurricanes.
"Lester has always liked it in Miami and when he traveled he saw different communities." explained Romero. "He saw how great Miami really is. You really don't know how great Dade County really is until you leave.
“Coach (Lou) Saban also had a lot to do with Lester coming here." Romero added. "The original visit to Lester's home was made with coach
pops Every hour on the hour, a different organization will sponsor contests from beer drinking to kissing. with a prize for every winner.
Special events include the Gong show, where everyone is invited to be a star There is also the Coconut Grove Children's Theatre, which will be performing on Saturday. A wet T-shirt contest and a Superstar Stud contest also headline the bill of special events. Everyone is invited to enter all contests
Carni Gras originated in 1951 as the Chi Omega Sun Festival, but in 1954 it was taken over by the University and renamed "Carni Gras." It is now the largest event held on the UM Campus, involving the entire student body in some facet or other
This year there is more off-campus publicity than ever before, due to the efforts of the promotion and publicity committees Various pro-

Helen Fagin receives Holocaust Award
Dr. Helen Fagin. a survivor of the Holocaust and professor of English literature at UM. was one of two persons honored by the New York Society of Clinical Psychologists last Saturday at New York University.
She will receive their Holocaust Memorial Award for her paper. "Hell Translated: A Survivor's Approach to the Holocaust." Tom Wicker, associate publisher of the New York Times, will receive the Martin Luther King !r. Award for his book on the Attica uprising. A Time to Die.
Fagin's paper consists of two parts: one. a personal look backward. revealing some of her experiences during the five years she spent in the ghettos, labor and concentration camps of Poland: and two dealing with her approach in teaching the Literature of the Holocaust, a course she initiated at the UM six years ago
The Holocaust is a growing topic of study and interest. When Dr. Fagin introduced the course at UM in 1973. it was the only Holocaust literature course in the country. Now. it is taught in several colleges as well as high schools in Philadelphia and New York. It is being considered for Miami high schools
The decision to teach the course was one fraught with great inner turmoil because of the emotional character of the subject matter which Fagin had experienced firsthand. She saw her parents taken away to the crematorium at Treblin-ka, helped one of her two sisters escape through a hole in a ghetto wall and had many harrowing escapades herself.
"Our survival took us into a series of complicated and desperate events: living on false papers in Warsaw' and in the Warsaw ghetto, working in labor camps and in German defense factories, joining a concent. What stands out in my mind while recalling all the different stages in our fight for life was the constant running, hiding and persecution. We felt always as if the ground was burning under out feet." Fagin said
But she will only go so far in telling of her experiences. "They stop." she says, "at the threshold of hell.”
Professor Robert Sandler, a colleague in the English department, suggested that she consider teaching a course in literature of the Holocaust. It was the writer Elie Weisel who. when he spoke at the Universi-
ty's Hillel Jewish Student Center, who convinced her to take the step.
“Helen, if we (the survivors) don't do it, we will have to leave it to those who can only interpret it," Weisel told her.
Considering Weisel's words. Fagin realized that in another 25 years, the survivors of the Holocaust. like its victims, would be obsolete, "silenced by the oblivion of time and the biological process.”
"I could use my Holocaust experiences in a way which would not only make my survival more meaningful. but would help bring a better understanding of it to a new generation." she said
She teaches it only once a year, in the fall semester, because it is still painful, but she is determined "to rise above an emotional approach to concentrate on teaching a positive human lesson."
Fagin said that the lesson she has to teach is morality.
“I became strongly convinced that the Holocaust could serve as a constructive lesson in teaching personal morality to young men and women of this generation and to those of any generation. The young student must learn to discern the humanity and the inhumanity underlying some
of these actions. We must use this insight as a guide for his own standards of behavior and in his judgement of others. He must search his soul for he may need, perhaps, to clean his own moral house and revise his own structure of personal prejudices." Fagin said
Fagin promises her students no answers to their questions and finds they discover their own answers.
NBC is planning to televise a four-part series on the subject. April 16. 17. 18 and 19. and 't is expected to have the same sort of impact as
Roots" did The Jewish Federation of Greater Miami has asked F'agin to lead a workshop and evaluation of the program following the telecast Tentative dates are either April 20 or 24.
She will also participate in a program on teaching the Literature of the Holocaust at the National Conference of Christians and Jews in New York. March 4 to 6. where the topic this year is “The Church and the Holocaust."
One of the strongest motivators of individual survival for victims of the Holocaust." she says, "was to tell it to the world, so all men would
know."
Drost-Hansen pupil of late Mels Bohr
By JEFF BRESLOW
Hurricant Staff Wri»*r
To conduct research for a Nobel Prize winner, to attend a dinner party in which 14 Nobel Prize winners were among the guests— Chemistry Professor Walter Drost-Hansen has done both.
As a student at the University of Copenhagen. Denmark. Drost-Han-stn was offered the position of junior scientific collaborator at Niels Bohr's Institute.
In more contemporary terms. Drost-Hansen became a graduate student researcher for Niels Bohr, the Danish physicist.
"He is most famous for developing the first quantum mechanics treatment of the hydrogen atom explaining the hydrogen spectrum." Drost-Hansen said.
For his theory of quantum mechanics. Bohr was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1922.
Bohr wanted a student to work at his institute to prepare uranium hexa-flouride Drost-Hansen filled the position, and today he tells stories about his experiences with Bohr and associates.
Drost-Hansen has been a UM professor since 1964 His is listed in Who's Who in the Southeast.
A
One story Drost-Hansen speaks of describes Bohr's intense concentration Bohr was known for his inability to keep his pipe lit. He was so “absorbed in things" that he constantly had to relight his pipe.
“Bohr would come into my laboratory about once a week and check on how I was doing. One day while
he was in my laboratory, his pipe went out He ran out of matches." Drost-Hansen said
Drost-Hansen wanted to light his pipe for him. so he used a bunson burner. While lighting the pipe, the burner accidentally twisted and singed Bohr's eyebrows (Bohr had
*
very thick eyebrows). Bohr was concentrating so heavily that he did not even stop: he kept talking without interruption.
"Finally he said. 'It is okay Mr. Drost-Hansen. Don’t be upset about it. It is perfectly all right," Drost-Hansen said
Another story Drost-Hansen relays deals more closely with his research at the institute while Drost-Hansen was attending a party at Bohr's 20-room house. Bohr came up to him and asked him to go for a
