District 65's initial attempt to organize at the Med Area in 1977 resulted in a prolonged, heated battle with the University, which eventually stymied the union's efforts. But District 65 organizers insist they are better prepared this time...
...fashion. Another incident is typical of the manner in which Cotrell and Leonard has managed--or mismanaged--the entire dispute: The working employees of the company, organized under Harden's personal secretary, began counter-picketting against the striking workers in early March.

...when I saw on television a gang of scruffy looking characters proudly carrying a Viet Cong flag down Pennsylvania Avenue, while a national network commentator ran along beside them with his microphone deferentially extended for whatever seditious statements they might choose to make."

They insist that pelvic infection, which now causes sterility in 80,000 women in the U.S. a year, is primarily linked to venereal disease and sexual activity with more than one partner. Says Dr. Bruce Stadel, coordinator of a $2 million federal study on gynecological complaints: "For women without serious problems the I.U.D. is probably a reasonable method of contraception and may sometimes be preferable to other methods."
