Pre-Marital Sex Fine, Students Say
COLLEGE PARK, Md. —(UPI)—A campus newspaper poll of students at the University of Maryland shows 42 per cent think there is nothing wrong with pre-marital sex relations.
College Newsman Takes Poll
However, university officials promptly criticized the survey of 100 students as being "scientifically unsound" and not representative of the school's 12,000 students.
The "Little Kinsey" poll, taken by a columnist for the college newspaper, The Diamondback, was said to indicate views of 59 men students and 41 coeds, from freshmen to seniors.
Twenty-eight per cent of the group said they were against premarital sex relations and 30 per cent had no strong opinion one way or the other.
Among the men, 47.5 per cent were in favor of intercourse before marriage, 25 per cent were against and 27.5 were undecided.
The coed tabulation showed 34 per cent in favor, 32 per cent against and 34 per cent undecided.
Preparation for Marriage
The newspaper also gave a sample of comments supporting student opinions.
A junior coed said pre-marital relations serve "to ready an individual for the sex role in marriage." A junior male agreed and said it
makes couples "realize that there are deeper and more meaningful aspects in a marriage relationship."
However, a senior coed called relations before marriage "unhealthy mentally because the mores of our country frown on it." Another senior quoted the Bible to show that such relationships are wrong.
University officials said they doubted the validity of any poll which included only 100 students, even though it was taken at random" around the campus.
Anti-Smoking Drive Begun
CHICAGO — (UPI)—An American Cancer Society official said today that the ACS was preparing a nationwide educational program "to inform young people of the risks involved in smoking."
Walter G. James of New York, the ACS Director of Public Education, said the program was based on results of a study of smoking habits of more than 20,000 high school students in Portland, Ore.

CAIRO — (UPI) — Two Cairo newspapers reported today another unsuccessful attempt to assassinate Iraqi Premier Abdel Karim Kassem. It was the second such report in the Cairo press since the abortive attempts on his life last Oct. 7.
Both Al Ahram and Al Gomhouria reported from Beirut that the attempted assassination leaked out yesterday in a Radio Baghdad broadcast.
The report said an ambulance carrying unknown armed men sneaked into the hospital where Kassem is convalescing.
Al Gomhouria said they opened fire and hurled a hand grenade in the direction of Kassem's room on
