Very little business penetrated the anti-organizational mood or the meeting. Questions as to the aims or ms were dismissed by veteran members. “It’s almost easier to tell about the aims oi the individual project because SDS is kind or nebulous." Jean Vandervoort, past vice pres- ident of the Grinnell chapter said. The closest anyone came to de- fining the {unction oi the group was Nancy McCannon, who said that the structure included three parts: the indigenous movement which concerns itself with com- munity organization or poor peo- ple; the peace movement which sponsored last spring's March on Washington protesting the Viet Nam situation; and the campus movement which played a role in the Free Speech Movement at Berkely and protests college ada ministrative “in loco parentis” policies. Aims of individual projects were discussed by students who took part in summer projects directly or indirectly connected with SDS.

The survey sampled 100 women lrom all classes in approX< imately equal proportions Some of the conclusion drawn by the Kinsey-like survey were: I. Ninety-eight per cent or the sample had engaged in some type of petting. 2. Twenty-three per cent had experienced sexual intercourse. 3. A greater percentage oi in- dividuals felt that intercourse would be acceptable for them than had experienced it. 4. The number who have pet- ted and have had intercourse increases with the year in school. 5. Sixty-one per cent of the inn dividuals felt that their attitudes toward sex have become more liberal since entering college. 6. Individuals with no relig- ious beiieis have a higher per- centage of both petting and intercourse than individuals with Protestant beliefs and among Protestants, the amount of sex- ual activity increases with de- creased participation in the church. Samples from other re« iigions were too small to draw conclusions. The survey used Kinsey's delin— ition of petting. it was defined as “physical contacts which involve a deliberate attempt to eiiect erotic arousal." The ninety-eight per cent of Grin- nell women who had engaged in some kind of petting compared with ninetyone per cent at a simi- lar age, education, and social background in the Kinsey report published 12 years ago. Kinsey's definition included kiss- ing. When the various categories of kissing were removed irom what might be considered petting, 77 per mm oi the Grinnell women had potted, The percentage of Grinnell girls who had engaged in sexual inter- course was twenty-three per cent, as compared to twenty per cent tor a group of women at similar age, education, and social back- ground in the 1953 Kinsey report.
