Friday. January 3!,» mt SEX with Kirkendall As a part of the current sex education program, Dr. Lester A. Kirkendall, re- tired prolessor oi Family Diving at Dre- gon State University visited the campus last week. He is a recognized authority on sex education, and has written exten- sively, including the hook Premarital In- tercourse and Interpersonal Relations. In his lecture, Dr. Klrkendali did not ac- knowledge his position as a moralistic one because he refused to designate spe- cific acts as either right or wrong. To so focus upon specific actions would di- vert attention from what he considered the basically important issue, namely, the meaning of behavior, motivations, and the significance which these have for us as human beings. In this sense sexual behavior is not taken out of its everyday context; it Cannot and should not be divorced from the world we live in. T00 oiten students are handed a pack- age, In this instance, sex, and then told to fit it Into their lives any way they can. Certain limihations are evident in any lecture. The most obvious is that the speaker does not reach everyone in the audience. Perhaps the real value in such a lecture is the discussions it has prompt- ed on campus. Here, I believe, lies the value in having people like Dr. Kirken- dall visit Grinnell. His lecture has opened up a whole area of what students want no talk about; the quanion now remains, “Are students going up continue to open that door?" This student body is capable of the most pejorative of criticism and yet regardless of where they place the ob- ject at issue on Lhe scale or their likes and dislikes the important point lies in answering the question, "Where do we go imm here?“ To talk about an issue, maybe develop it a little, and then shelve it when it becomes last week’s discussion topic is missing the point. And I believe a lot oi points have been missed on this campus. By MARILYN COCHRAN BEYMER’S King's Food Host U.S.A.

A night- mare of machine politics, jowlish con- gressmen, and Pigs in the Street vanish at the visions of the glowing Capitol dome, the Lincoln Memorial, and Tas- ro's Restaurant and Bar (17th and P St. N.W.). One becomes inspired, even in- ebriated by the glory that is Our Na- tion's Capital. Little did I realize, however, that Grinnell College, community of which i am a member, plays such a large role in this, our iederal government. One day I wandered through an oilice building on Pennsylvania Avenue, as l am wont to do, past offices of lobbyists — the Teamsters, the Remember the Pueblo Committee, the Forget the Pue- hlo Committee, when what to my won- dering eyes should appear, but a ma- hogany door with a bronze plaque which stated, “Grinnell Associates, Grinnell, Iowa." Maybe, I thought, they can't spell ‘College.’ I could think of no rea- son why Collegium Grinnelli would have a Washington attire, but the Wayne Feeds has even less reason for a lob- byist. I entered cautiously, trying to expel For School or Typewriter Supplies Grinnell Office Supply A01!” min the Fur om“ GRINNELL.

The desk was clear or any papers that could offer a clue to what Grlnnell Associates real- ly was or were. In one comer there stood a filing cabinet, and on the top drawer the coded initials "RE.” were pencilled. Poweshiek Eradications? Pa- gliai Epidemics? The secretary interrupted my musings when she entered and asked if She could help me, I did not know exactly what to say, so, of course, I asked her it she was irom Grlnnell, lowa. “More or less," she replied. :Do you, uh, know, uh, Floyd Beav- er." “Who? Oh, you mean the mayor? No, I just went to the college there — Grin- nell College." Just what I needed. "Well, that's why I stopped here. I’m a student at Grinnell, and I was just passing by and saw the sign on the door. . . Is this an oifice oi the college?" “Uh, not officially, er, I mean . d . Wait just a moment, please.” She walked back to the door through which she had just entered and leit tor a tow seconds. She came back smil- ing and said confidently, “Would you like to meet the boss?” Without waiting for an answer, she showed me to the door and closed it behind me. There he was. The familiar face smiled at me from beneath the four lamiliar rig leaves, this time in bronze. on the wall to the right were several autographed photographs nl congress- men, and to the left, an architect's con- ception oi the proposed physical educa- lion complex. We exchanged the usual pleasanlries, you know, T. S. Eliot: and all that. Then I took a closer look at the picture which had become so iamiliar to me on the Cowles placemats. At the lower right hand corner were the words, “Thomas J. Dodd Athletic Center." Before I had time to recover (mm the shock oi this discovery, the secretary entered and said to the boss, “Your visitor is here, Sir." I left politely, but as l hurried out through the receptionist’s Office I heard her say, “You may Come in now. I'm sure the President will greatly appreciate your donation, Mr. Agnew."

Hart proposed a system in which draft Iegistrants would be given three choices: volunteer- ing tor three years of national service in such organizations as the Peace Corps or VISTA, or, entering a "primo selection group" irom which one could be draited-as-needed for a 21/2 year term or service.
