She's convinced she can earn a college degree while thumbing rides with her best "old lady's smile." "I've got it down to a science," says the communications major at Florida Technological University.

The technique has worked for two years already. Mrs. Camfield, who figures she has "30 years of living yet," each day rides a bus to a busy Orlando intersection. "Then 1 walk up to a car and request a ride the remaining eight miles," she said. Last week, while standing at her favorite intersection, she smiled at the wrong car.

An Orange County sheriff's deputy told her she'd have to find a new spot where she wouldn't disrupt traffic. A former nurse and parltime tutor, she says she took to hitchhiking when bus transportation proved inadequate but lias learned a lot about people in her two years. "It gives you a terrific perspective about people," she said. She said she was once refused a ride by a man holding a gun on her while she inquired. "I had a minister change his mind about picking up hitchhikers," she said of one ride.

"He even did a sermon about me." Mrs. Camfield left college to gel married years ago and doesn't know when she will complete her degree requirements. "I always get off on special projects which aren't for course credit," she said. Kor young people, Mrs. Camfield says, "College is like hors d'oeuvrcs for me it's like after-dinner coffee and I have a lot of sipping to do."

(AP) "As an American, I am against censorship of any kind," remarked Lillian Gish, one of the great stars of the silent screen. She added wist- fully, "But I do wish we could do something about taste." Miss Gish, the fragile beauty of "Birth of a Nation," "Broken Blossoms" and a host of other silent classics, was paying a return visit to the Hollywood she first saw exactly 60 years ago. She reminisced about the past, particularly her prideful association with D. W. Griffith, but she also talked about present-day films.

"Ugliness disturbs me," she commented, "and much of what is shown on the screen is ugly. Not only in exposure of the human body. I also mean the ugliness of violence. To me, violence is just as offensive as nudity. "Although I do not approve of censorship, I wish there were some way to impose taste on the people who make films.

It's not that, I mind the portrayal of sex in movies, but sex should be beautiful, an expression of human love. But too often it is made to seem ugly!" A youthful 77. Miss Gish is in the middle of a tour of 30 cities in seven weeks to call attention Air Force wigs CHICAGO (AP) A suit was filed in U.S. District Court seeking to overturn an Air Force ban on the wearing of short-haired wigs. The suit was filed Wednesday on behalf of nine members of the Illinois Air National Guard stationed at O'Hare International Airport and other members of the armed forces subject to the Air Force regulation.

The action also contended that the nine airmen were threatened with being placed on active duty if they wore the wigs. The short-haired wig is worn for military duties by men who would prefer not to cut their hair to the prescribed length. A preliminary injunction to prevent the enforcement of the regulation also was sought until a ruling on the constitutionality of the regulation. HAVE IT YOUR WAY!

She added a historical perspective on the film world's flirtation with obscenity: "You know, I helped the Italian film industry get started. I went to Rome after the first World War and made the first American film there, 'The White There was only one broken-down studio in Rome, and we rebuilt it. Then I went to Florence and made another movie, "I spent two years in Italy, and I had time to learn all about their art. The Italians in the Renaissance went through what our film makers seem to be going through today. Nudity had not been seen before, and at first they exploited it.

But then they learned to portray the human body with beauty. "I say to today's movie makers: Do what you will--but do it beautifully."
