Study Shows Premarital Sexuality Being Accepted by College Students
BERGEN'S STUDY was conducted as part of her doctorate dissertation. The results of the study are being published. Berseen said.
"The changes here are gradual, but if you do the study five years from now, you'd probably find things have changed a great deal," Bergen said. "The change, however, is not as pronounced promiscuity among these college youth."
Students enrolled in the family relations classes composed the questionnaire. There were acrival questions concerning sexual relationships and attitudinal questions concerning marital relations, darmies, marriage and other topics.
The study was conducted from the spring semester of 1969 to the fall semester of 1972. Bergen conducted a descriptive study of the sexual attitudes and behaviors of 1,228 students, 361 of whom were married in her family relations classes.
ABOUT one-half of the women and three-fourths of the men had experience in women and one-third of women and one-fifth of men limited their premarital intimacy to heavy petting, the study
The names of the students in the study were not revealed, and Bergen said she thought there was a sense of honesty" in the answers.
The objectives of the study are to investigate sexual attitudes and behaviors of selected K-State students and the behaviors of subgroups within the K-State community.
Premarital sexuality is receiving gradual acceptance among college students, according to a study done by Betsy Bergen, instructor in family and education at Kansas State University.
The study showed 77.6 per cent of the men participated in premium training and more than 72.1 per cent of the sophomore men and 72.3 per cent of the junior men took part in

A feasibility study is being conducted by Cities Services Gas Company for the economic and synthetic gas three miles northwest of Diamond, Mo. Cities Service is the exclusive supplier of natural gas.
"OUR HYDROCARBONIC resources are diminishing," said Willhite, "and making gas out of water is a big best bet for a temporary solution."
The Lawrence area will not be directly affected by the plant, which could produce 125 million cubic feet of gas per day. but Ford said that any supplying release more gas for other areas. The use of synthetic gas may also raise the cost of gas.
Guy Neal, field superintendent of Cities Service in Lawrence, said, "We aren't taking on any more industrial customers because we simply do not have the resources reserves that are required."
The study had five grade point categories. Men with 1.5 to 1.9 grade point averages had 92.5 per cent participation, women had 82.5 per cent participation. The percentages of participation decreased with higher grade point averages in every category, except men with 82.5 grade point averages. All grade point averages were on a four-point system.

According to results drawn from the study, more students in the program participated in prematrial sexual intercourse than those with homosexual orientation.

Males in this grade point category had 63.6 per cent participation, which was higher than males with 3.0 to 3.4 grade point

The seminar was the first in a series of communication seminars, seen on Edward J. Sawyer's Journalism and director of the seminar. The goal of the seminar is to discover methods of facilitating between HEW agencies and the news media, he said.

The members of the seminar said it was important for the reportors to develop a personal relationship with the audience so that accuracy could more easily be achieved. Members of the seminar explained the relationship both the sincerity of the reporter and the honesty of the source could be more easily communicated.

The seminars should assist the development of communications in a broad sense between the agencies and local universities as well as with the news media and government in Washington, he said.
In an interview between sessions of the seminar, Bassett said the meeting was important as a pilot project.
He said that similar seminars were planned for Iowa State University, Nebraska University and Missouri University.
"They will have a slightly different format," he said.

SPEAKS OUT
ON VIETNAM
Our involvement in Southeast Asia has been a painful long and tragic experience. It has sapped our nation of courage and self-restraint, caused bitter controversy in our society. Since 1950, our government has been directly involved in the Vietnam conflict, and we have committed to devoting deepened and our goals shifted. Our participation grew from an aid function handled by 300-400 American civilians who were utilizing 343,300 men by April 1967.
I have backed the President's attempts to negotiate a settlement in Paris, in efforts in Moscow and the Berlin negotiations between Dr. Kissinger and North Vietnam Polihtoum member, Dr. Ngo Dung Kim, of this policy of disengagement at a rate as rapid as is commensurate with the safe departure of our remaining troops and officials.
Not until President Nixon took office did we begin to disengage from the war. On April 28, 1965, our corps ported our continuing withdrawal. As of September 11, our troop level in Vietnam has been reduced to 39,000 men. We have now allowed us of using volunteers in the dwindling remainder of our troops in Vietnam. We have continued support of an all volunteer force.
The safe return of our Prisoners of War, and as accurate an accounting as is possible of our MIA's are my primary concern. In addition to the indecision, 490 of them are held in POW camps in North Vietnam. In addition, I believe we must seek a peaceful settlement of the indecision in Vietnamese warfare. Secondly, I believe we must seek a continuation of the bloomed after the Vietnamist parties, rather than a continuation of the bloomed after the Vietnamese
I do not support levels or types of military action by the United States beyond self-defense, and we cannot proper security while the last of our troops are being withdrawn, and as a continuing reminder and source of pressure to secure them to release our POW's unharmed as soon as possible. To this end, I will continue to call on the use of defensives in Vietnam ordered by the President in 1970. These defensives have been used since 1964. Also, I am opposed to the bombing of dikes in North Vietnam. The exceedingly negligible cost of these dikes had been used in since 1964. Also, I am opposed to the bombing of dikes in North Vietnam.

intensive to have a general, all-in-one education, without the need for separate courses for the real space and time. We also want U.S. military support activities can be used to maintain or continue aggressive training.
I have also introduced legislation calling for an unconditional release of 1680 French prisoners held in Libya, vided by the International Red Cross (H. Con. Res. 48). This would be a humanitarian action, and encourage to end all hostilities, and an encouragement to the North Vietnamese release authorities.
All of us are sincerely eager to and American involvement in the war, and to whatever extent the United States is involved. We need a difficult and painfully complete task.
