Sexual Freedom Elicits Openness, Students Sav
Kansan Staff Writer
One remnant of the rebellions on college campuses in the 1980s is a new sexual movement.
Though every generation since the Victorian era has bragged of its reformed sexual mores, the present intensity of sexual activity and discussion on campuses has attracted much national publicity and parental concern.
The sexual revolution involves more sexual experiences and, more importantly, a greater willingness by students to discuss sex and its related issues openly.
A series of interviews with University of Kansas students last week indicated that most students either are participating in this revolution or have no objection to it.
Nearly everyone interviewed was candid about his sexual attitudes and
behavior, but some of those interviewed
requested that their names not be used.
"When I was at Central Missouri State in 1968," said Carol Nelson, Prairie Village special student, "the girls' dornes on one side of the campus and the boys' dornes on the other. Sex was pretty scarce. We had to convince the atmosphere is firefree or realistic."
"I THINK students are discovering sex as part of a new lifestyle and more," adds Todd.
The heightened awareness and openness about sex has stimulated student response to various counseling services available in the university community. These services were designed to give information about sexual behavior in dealing with sex related problems.
*People wanting counseling used to give pseudonyms and tended to call on the staff.*
pregnancy counselor in the dean of women's office. "Now they use their own names and come in to talk face to face. Most just want information about the choices open to them."
"There is more sexual activity now than when I was in school. There was sex going on, of course, but my generation just never admitted it. People were afraid of condemnation so there were few chances for intimacy."
SEARS SAID that now there were many students who slept together and traveled together, having intimate relationships that did not include sex.
Reasons for the surge in sexual awareness by students included less fear of pregnancy because of the pill, innovative thinking in the '80s, more attention to sex in the media and student assertion of individuality.
"It should be up to the individual to decide whether to have sex. When you're 18 years
old you ought to be able to decide for yourself, "was a typical comment by many
"I place great importance on individual," said Bill Strobach, Kansas City, Kan., senior. "A person should not be exposed to surroundings but by the individual, decide which to accept."
ACCORDING TO THE students and counselors polled, sex was not damaging to children.
"When we discussed this in our English class, nearly everyone agreed that sex was a necessary part of life which should be avoided. So he said Louann Lee, Lawrence sonohommere."
"I think it’s a falsification of a relationship to deny sex," she said. "If you date someone for over a year and you don’t have sex, you just don't know one another."
"I think students are using sex with responsibility and caring," Sears said.
But not everyone reacts favorably to this new freedom. Moral and academic reservations were expressed by a few students.
"The Bible warns us not to have sex before marriage, and this should be adhered to," said one coed. "This is just another moral decay which is rotting our society."
"1 THINK it's a freedom from commitment," said another student. "It's like this whole attitude of student power. Students spend too much time trying to be administrators, which may mean the decay of education."
For better or worse, there are more sexual relationships among students than ever before, based on the comments of the students themselves.
Residents of coed residence halls estimated that one in three of its population was under age 18.
"All this puts pressure on the administration to respond to student demands for contraceptive devices and non-valued materials. The alternatives open to them." said Sears.
The Human Sexuality Series, sponsored by the Commission on the Status of Women, was created in 1969 to provide this information.
THE SERIES is a number of lectures given on various sexual subjects ranging from alternative life styles to male con-
flict and it has been attended by 200 to 800 students.
Another University attempt to provide education on sexual issues is an innovative class in the psychology department entitled "Psychology of Human Sexual Behavior."
"I think it is as valid to study this subject as any other that is being taught here," said.

Court Gets More Info On Bugging
WASHINGTON (AP)—A lawyer for President Nixon's re-election finance committee turned over three more cartons of documents to the U.S. District Court Monday.
See Story Page 2
Daniel Webster Coon, lawyer for the Finance Committee to Re-elect the President, said the new documents contained records of campaign expenditures and disbursements before the April 7, 1972, cutoff date of the new campaign finance law.
Coon said the records contained files with the names of convicted Wategate conspirators G. Gordon Liddy and James McCord Jr., among others.
Mitchell Rogovin, attorney for Common Cause, said he doubted that the three cartons of documents would complete all of the records requested and promised last Nov. 1 in a consent order entered into by the finance committee's lawyers.
Common Cause, a public interest lobby,
had asked the court Monday afternoon to hold Maurice Stans in contempt of court if the documents were not turned over within 72 hours. Stans is chairman of Nixon's reelection finance committee.
Coon said Barrick apparently was under the misunderstanding that only records pertaining to contributions and income were wanted and not disbursements.
"They should be bringing carloads of stuff." Rogovin said.
Coon said he was acting for commute treasurer Paul Barrick and had not known until Saturday that there were more records than those already turned over to the court.
Some records had been delivered earlier under a Common Cause suit which sought to force disclosure of sources of contributions on campaign and how the money was spent.

White House Coverup Definite, Sources Say
WASHINGTON (AP)—Senate sources said Monday that investigators had evidence there was an elaborate White House plot to divert water and involvement in the Watergate affair. The evidence indicates presidential aides H. R. Haldenman and John Elfrlehrman was involved.
They said there was no question President Nixon was aware of a coverup effort, perhaps as early as a few days after the Watergate quarter in the Watergate archive June 17.
The sources refused to describe the reported coverup in detail, but said one phase included "attempts to pressure other officials in the government to go along."
THE SOURCES said the other officials tendered ranking members of the Justice Department.
Acting FBI Director L. Patrick Gray presumably was in that group, and his testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee about the Watergate investigation indicated he refused to cooperate with the reported coverup.
"The coverup is even more damning than the Watergate itself," the sources said. It may result in more resignation from the White House staff.
Eirlichman will be among those forced to resign when the details of the operation become known.
EHRLICHMAN, chief of President Nixon's domestic affairs council so far has escaped prominent mention in reports of White House involvement in Watergate.
Gray did say in his Senate testimony, however, that Ehrlichman and presidential counsel John Dean III called him on the floor to urge him to guarding the FBI's Watergate investigation.
SILBERT reportedly repudiated, although the seven men originally indicted in the
The prosecutor in the Watergate case, Earl Silbert, has told friends privately that Atty. Gen. Richard Kleindienst once called him into his office early in the Watergate investigation and told him to "go slow" in returning indictments.
Candidates Predict Light Turnout
Murfin
Murfin he contested the results of the March election because "there were so many problems with the election, not only with my race, with name spelling the most pronounced, that it wasn't a fair contest for me or the voters."
There is no reason why the judiciary
couldn't have acted quicker to alleviate the
victims' suffering.
Dave Murfin, Wichita junior and candidate for senior class president, said Monday that he expects no adverse voter pressure Wednesday and Thursday runoff election.
The Senate sources said there were indications the President did not know about the Watergate raid until after it had occurred but that he was aware there was a political espionage operation within the Senate for the Re-election of the President.
To help restore credibility to the system, the menu needed to be solved in a run-off election.
However, Murfin said he feared voter turnout would be lighter than in the March election. Murfin said the long delay between the two elections had diminished interest.
case were only those directly involved with the break-in.
"Voters need to have faith in the election system and procedure." Murfin said.
When former Atty. Gen. John Mitchell resigned as director of the re-election committee two weeks after the break-in, the governor called him back because of Watergate, the sources said.
Recently Haldeman told a group of Republican congressmen that he had set up a system to gather campaign intelligence, but that the system used purely legal means such as clipping newspapers and recording speeches by the other side.
There will be an election Wednesday and Thursday to resolve the disputed election of electors.
The University Judiciary has ordered the new election between Dave Murrell, Wichita
The sources also said James McCord testified to Senate investigators that he had been offered presidential clementry if he was indicted. He came up one higher up in the Watergate affair.
—The Washington Star-News said the Nixon campaign kept a secret cash fund of up to $50,000 to use, at least in part, for political spying and disruption. The president also said the President's personal lawyer, Robert Kalman, controlled the money.
REUSS said the House Banking andCurrency Committee voted against subpoena power for its chairman, Wright Patman, D-Tex., after Petersen wrote that a congressional inquiry would imperil the efforts of federal law-enforcement officials.

junior, and the Pat Neutrom, Salina junior. The judiciary ruled a runoff should be conducted because Martin's name was named as "Martin" on the first election ballot.
"People will be sympathetic to me as well as to Pat Pat Neutroman, Salina junior and senior."

Seniors will return to the polls Wednesday and Thursday to vote again for senior class president. The earlier election was rued invalid by the University Judiciary because one candidate's name was misspelled on the ballot.
The name of Dave Martin, Wichita junior and a candidate for the office, was spelled *Martin*.
Neutrom had said that there had been a good race between him and Murfur and that both were winners.
The other candidate, Pat Neumstrom, Salina junior, said Monday that he didn't think the misspelling of Murfin's name had any effect on the election.
Student Body President Mert Buckley, Wichita junior, said Monday he would seek a compromise in the senate's budget stalemate. He said his plan, in the form of a new budget recommendation, would be submitted to the senate today.
McCORD was convicted of wiretapping, burglary and conspiracy during a trial in which he didn't testify on his own behalf. He also pleaded guilty with prosecutors and Senate investigators.
After two days of debate on the recommendations of the Senate Finance and Auditing (P&A) Committee, the senate approved a resolution requiring the committee for further consideration.
If elected, Neutrom said, he wants to work through the Board of Class Officers to educate the undergraduates about the University.
Continuing the concert series and expanding discounts are some of Neustrom's objectives for the senior class. He also wants to help more seniors get jobs through

"In the past few years the senior class president has become an office to lead and motivate people," he said. It has become a good promoter of the University."
Budget Recommendations To Be Submitted Today
In other Watergate developments Monday:
Buckley said the most equitable and rational manner to allocate the activity fee would be to follow the recommendations of the committee. He said that the committee held hearings for each of the organizations, giving each on the merits of its programs.
Applications or positions on the news and business staffs of the fall Kananan are due at noon today in 105 Flint Hall. The applications are available there. Applicants for news positions must sign up on the bulletin board outside 114 Flint Hall for an interview with the editor today or Wednesday.
Rick McKenna, Salina senior and chairman of the Finance and Auditing Committee, said the committee met during the weekend to develop what it considered a more acceptable budget. He said that two budget recommendations were formulated.
One recommendation would fund organizations and school councils from the larger budget, would combine the funds available for organizations and councils and distribute them in the same manner to all organizations approved by the committee for funding.
Applications For Kansan
Those applying for business positions will be notified by the business manager of a time and place for an interview. Both staffs will be submitted Thursday to the Kansas Board for approval.
"in short," Buckley said, "the compromise will allow for the addition of CIS (Curriculum Instruction Survey), Emporium and school councils and necessitate only a minor decrease in previous F&A contributions to the other organizations."
Some opposition to the compromise budget is expected at today's meeting. The major opponents of the original budget recommendations have demanded that the funds for the organizations and school councils be kept in separate funds as outlined in Student Senate Enactment 17. Consideration of the budget allocation requires that they be approved today in the Big Eight Room of the Kansas Union. The senate must complete action on the budget by May 1, the deadline for presenting the new budget to the chancellor.
Brezhnev Talks With Senators On Trade Plan
MOSCOW (AP)—Commissionist party chief Leonid Brezhnev conducted an unusual 3%久 kremilnir meeting Monday with seven U.S. senators, including Sen. James McCain and Senator Robert L. Kennedy. American trade and congressional opposition to Soviet emigration policies.
The fact that Breznev received the senators and spent 3/4 hours with them demonstrated the high priority Soviet leaders place on Soviet-American relations which Kremilin concern about the fate of a U.S.-Russian trade bill in Congress.
The senators talked informally to newsmen at an evening reception at the U.S. ambassador's residence after the meeting. They were reluctant to discuss what Brezhnev told them on the controversial education tax on emigrants.
Pearson indicated that discussion of the education tax did not go far beyond the Soviet assurances to Nixon last week that the levy would no longer be collected.
