'Sex Isn't Everything In Life,' Sherwood Says On Marriage
Sex tends to obscure the minds of people until they think it represents everything in life, Dr. N. P. Sherwood, of the bacteriology department, told students at the Y.M.-Y.W.C.A. sponsored Love and Marriage forum Tuesday.
Miss Margaret Habein, dean of women, will speak next Tuesday on "Emotional Adjustments in Marriage."
Marriage has too many other virtues, as well as problems, to allow sex to dominate the entire picture, Dr. Sherwood explained.
"Man is really a chump if he allows himself to kill the love impulse in his wife," he said. "The romance of love should be maintained throughout life, not just before marriage."
Pointing out that men ordinarily have stronger sexual tendencies than women. Dr. Sherwood explained that husbands can ruin a marriage by insisting on too much sexual intimacy. He suggested hobbies and other diversions to offset strong sexual energies.
Consideration for the feelings, attitudes, and general personality on the part of marriage partners is a basic requirement for a happy nuptial union, he emphasized.
"The old-fashioned master-and-slave attitude toward marriage should no longer exist. Today women are accepted as man's equal and if the husband attempts to take complete authority in marriage conflict results immediately," the doctor said.
He pointed out that the word "obey" has been struck from the marriage vows in many states.
Another menace to marital bliss is the husband who forces his wife to beg for money instead of sharing it on a cooperative budget plan. The wife does most of the family's buying anyway, he explained.
Dr. Sherwood's observations were based on some of the typical marital issues upon which he has been consulted by University students.
The wife who is reluctant to give up her business career after marriage represents another threat to the union. She should never compete with her mate in earning a living.
Exception may be made, he said, in the struggle for financial security which often takes place during the early years of marriage.
Pointing out that the rearing of a family is in itself a wife's full-time job, Dr. Sherwood attributed today's soaring juvenile delinquency rate to the mother's neglect of children while she is employed.
Dr. Sherwood explained that many persons today are* seeking medical attention for imagined ills which result from tension in the home.
"Place your confidence in God instead of relying on a psychiatrist to solve your problems," he concluded.
Eddie Dix and his orchestra will play at the midweek dance which will be held at the Military Science building from 7:30 to 9 tonight.
Midweek Tonight
ASC Approves Negro Players On Varsity Teams
The All-Student Council placed itself on record Tuesday night to favor Negro participation on varsity athletic squads at the University.
Under the present ruling, participation of Negro players in Big Six game is banned only in Missouri and Oklahoma.
Other parts of the resolution, introduced by George Caldwell, put the ASC on record as favoring full participation of Negroes in Big Six athletics, and invited the University Senate and senates and councils of other Big Six schools to concur.
Letters presented by George Caldwell, to be sent to Harry Woodring and Frank Carlson, were read and approved.
Bill McElhenny was nominated as prosecutor for the student court and was approved by the council.
Both candidates were asked whether they, if elected, would recommend to the legislature for the University a new fine arts building, higher faculty salaries, new chemistry and physics buildings, and an expansion of the engineering department.
Ira Bartell, representing the Jayhawker Veterans Club, relinquished for the club the organization's seat on the council.
A petition for the vacant position was made by Buell Schiltz for the Sunflower Students organization, who presented a petition bearing 164 names.
After a vote, however, the seat was declared open to organizations.
Petitions for the open seat are to be filed with Elaine Thalman. secretary, and representatives of the petitioning organizations are to appear at the next meeting of the council to present their cases.
Two amendments, made to the ASC Bill pertaining to the cheerleading staff were passed and await the signature of the chancellor. They read:
"The cheerleading staff shall consist of six active members, at least two of which shall be women, and three assistants."
Partial responsibility in enforcing smoking regulations was given to the Office of Student Affairs after a recommendation by Homer Evans, chairman of the smoking committee.
"Any member of the cheerleading staff absent from three events without excuse shall be replaced by one of the assistants."
Clifford Reynolds, head of a special committee on Sunflower transportation, reported that extra K.U. buses will be run on special occasions.
Two freshman class representatives to the Council, Janet Rummer, Independent, and Norman Jennings, P.S.G.L., were sworn in.
A motion for a donation to the World Student Service Fund was submitted to the budget committee for study.
'Government Must Stop Conqueror Policy In Reich'
Louis Lochner Says Americans Have Unconditional Responsibility In Germany
American occupation forces can weld Germany into a veritable "bulwark of democracy," Louis P. Lochner, ex-chief of the Berlin bureau of the Associated Press, told a Community Lecture series audience which filled Hoch auditorium this morning.
To accomplish that, he said, the United States must "accept the unconditional responsibility that goes with unconditional surrender."
Student Court Rules 'No Case'
Student court members ruled that interpretation of the ASC constitution "is not a case, and only cases are tried by student court" in the session Tuesday night in Green hall.
The question as to who should control the Midweek dances, and where they should be held did not come before the court.
Counsel for Larry McSpadden, Varsity dance manager, and the social committee of ASC were John Q. Royce and Charles Knapp. Counsel for Joan Woodward, president of Union Activities were William Overton, Kenneth Hamilton, and William Cole.
Decision of the court was that if there is a case to be tried, it must be presented Thursday. The court answer will be ready Saturday, and the case will be tried at 7:15 Tuesday night in Green hall.
Inter-Frat Council Adopts War Orphan

Chubb To Address AVC

Those voters who are registered in Kansas outside of Douglas county and who will cast an in-state absentee ballot at the Military Science building next Tuesday should equip themselves with two sets of information. James K. Hitt, registrar, warned today.
Each voter should know the number of the precinct, ward, city or township and county in which he is registered. If he is unable to supply all this information, the county clerk to whom his ballot is sent may not be able to verify registration in time for the ballot to be counted.
There will be only blanks for U.S. representative from the voter's district, all county and township offices, representative to state legislature and district judge.
Students who have registered in Douglas county will vote at the polling places for the precinct in which they are registered. The in-state board cannot issue ballots to students from out-state nor to those registered in Douglas county.
Each voter must know the name of the candidate for whom he wishes to vote, write in the names and mark an "X" in the square opposite the written-in name.
The voter will be given a ballot carrying the names of candidates for governor and other state offices.
The polls will be open in the drill hall of the Military Science building from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. instead of 8 p.m. as previously announced.
Mr. Lochner, for 15 years a leading news correspondent in Germany and one-time Pulitzer prize winner, outlined a plan whereby the United States military government could discharge that responsibility.
First, he said, the state department must abandon its policy of "conquerors, not deliverers," and change their "punitive" campaigs to "puritive" campaigns.
A definite line must be drawn, he said, between the military occupation forces and the U.S.-sponsored civilian governments. He suggested that a civilian high commissioner be the supreme authority in military government, replacing American generals.
"The army," he explained." is too totalitarian by its very nature to be a just governing agency."
Officers holding military government positions, he added, should speak German fluently. He insisted that an intensive language course should be added to military training schools.
Mr. Lochner deplored the abuse to which young American military police put their vast constabulary powers. He suggested they be replaced, at least in the key positions, with older men.
The United States should attempt to tear down the barriers that now restrict the importation into Germany of literature, even though the literature may be beneficial to the American cause.
He also asked that the German citizens who were undoubtedly anti-Nazi be given a break in military government. There are decent elements there who wanted deliverance even before the war, he said.
The resistance was underway throughout the war, he maintained, and was led not by disgruntled Prussian generals, but by the best civilian elements in Germany.
"It is only a propaganda myth which maintained that all Germany was united behind Hitler," he asserted.
"Many of those leaders are still living," he said, "and we can use them to our own advantage."
Mr. Lochner's last point was that the United States and other nations occupying Germany should live up to the Potsdam pledge that they would unify Germany and allow her to resume her place among the nations of Europe.
he cited the zoning of Berlin as one example of why unification is being retarded, but pointed out that American principles have been accepted by most Germans in their elections.
