Sexuality to find its way into KU classrooms

A spring semester course on all aspects of human sexuality is open to undergraduate students, perhaps for the first time at the University asanas, the course's professor said yesterday.
Dennis Dailey, professor of social welfare,
said he intended for his course not only to
provide information but also to stimulate
personal growth.
"If there's anything I know, it's that college students play out sexuality every day."
However, young people don't always learn healthy sexuality, he said. For example, many remain ignorant of biological facts or learn manipulative sexual behavior.
Dailey said people need to recognize that they take their sexuality into every significant relationship. Acknowledging its presence helps in caring about another person.
The course, "Human Sexuality in Everyday Life," listed as social welfare 279, will make sexuality its entire topic, something no other KU course does, he said.
DAILY SAID THAT offering such a course likely would lead to letters of outrage and calls to administrators. But the University has a right and responsibility to offer it.
"I'd like that many to be touched by it," he said. "I'd like them to learn English and math and their own sexuality."
he said, and he would like to have between 500 and 1.000 students.
However, he said, enrollment for the spring class may have to be limited.
The frequency of serious sexual dysfunctions in the United States illustrates the importance of using contraceptives.
Some estimates hold that half of all U.S. residents who enter bonded relationships such as marriage will have a serious sexual

dysfunction at some time, he said. Consistent impotence is an example of a serious sexual dysfunction.
MOREOVER, DAILEY SAID, most adults repeat in their marriages and childrising the mistakes their parents made, even when they recognize those mistakes.
"Adolescence is the training ground for dysfunction," he said.
Men are more than women about admit-
ting failures, especially sexual failures. Men
are especially leery of admitting sexual
failures to women, he said. As a group, men
refuse to risk being vulnerable in their
relationships and in seeking help.
"There's a lot of pain going on out there," he said.
He said the course would emphasize sex roles as part of its attention to personal experience. The course also will use a book and books on men's and women's sexuality.
“There’s a lot of pressure to get it on,” he said in regard to the self-made image tech firm. “It takes a lot of time.”
But women face more intense social pressure, he said, because many people still think a woman's value depends solely on her giving birth.
STRAIGHT TALK ABOUT sexuality is nothing new to Dailey, who said he was the only certified sex therapist in Lawrence. He maintains a counseling practice, travels widely to present seminars and teaches graduate classes about sexuality.
Dailey often asks classes or groups what the most commonly used sexual word in the language is. The answer, he says, is the word 'is', as in 'she is', and other expressions.
AMERICAN SOCIETY TOO often defines sex solely as a genital act, he said, instead of
the complex set of physical, emotional and moral facts it really is.
To illustrate that point, he will ask his listeners what the largest human sex organ is. When he stop piggling, he tells them it is the heart, a wonderful sensitivity to touching and stroking.
Nor is he afraid of the "four-letter words," which he said provided humor and broke down initial inhibitions about open discussion of sexuality.
He identifies five aspects of sex, sensuality, intimacy, identity, reproduction and sexualization. Sexualization, in Dailey's view, is the process of assimilating cultural sex roles.
Pressure from faculty members and enrollment demand by students led to his dismissal.
DAILY HAS TRAUGHT several times in "Introduction to Marriage and Family Relationships," a class taught by Mont Wolf, professor of human development.
Wolf said some students told him Dailey was the best teacher they ever had.
"Through his humor and wit and wisdom, he's able to make students comfortable and the whole event fun as well as educational." Woit said.
"He helps the students broaden their definition of sexuality," he said.
Gene Ackerman, a Southwestern Bell worker from Lawrence, blows a puff of smoke from his cigarette as he repairs underground telephone cables at 19th and Massachusetts streets. Southwestern Bell employees have worked since Monday to repair four cables that accidently were cut by Kansas Power and Light Co. workers.

Smoke and fumes prompt cancellation of art classes
By LAURETTA SCHULTZ Staff Reporter
Staff Reporter
Smoke and fumes filled the Art and Design Building yesterday, caneelling afternoon classes. But according to the associate dean of Fine Arts, this time it wasn't because of the storm.
Jerry Moore, the associate dean, said that the ventilation system had been working fine but that improper materials being melted in the foundry, located on the back side of the building, had produced too much smoke for the system to handle.
The smoke triggered fire alarms in the building at about 10 a.m. , but the building
"There was nothing 'wrong with the ventilation system this time." Moore said. "It was a case of the wrong materials, or impurities in some materials, being melted."
"It was just smoke," he said. "There was nothing very serious at all."
REMODELING IS NOW under way to correct problems in the ventilation system that have plagued the building since it opened seven years ago. Early in October, Joe Waters, an architect who worked on designs for the remodeling, said he thought the cost of the project would be more than $100,000.
Eldon Tefft, professor of art and responsible for the foundry, said that brass was being melted yesterday when the smoke became a problem.
"We don't usually melt brass for that reason, it produces a lot of smoke," he said. "But the fumes or the smoke weren't dangerous or anything
"We were just working with some new metals that we weren't accustomed to and it made more noticeable smoke and fumes than usual."
Tefft said the ventilation system was partly at fault.
"OUR VENTILATION SYSTEM isn't overly adequate, in case you haven't heard," he said. "But the other problem is that some upstairs windows in the building were open because of the warm weather and they let smoke into the main building."
Pat Emerson, a computer typesetter for the department of design, said he had talked to students who said they were feeling ill because of the fumes.
"The whole building filled up with smoke and fumes," he said. "We had quite a few students saying they felt sick, so I guess they thought they should go ahead and clear out the building and cancel all of the afternoon classes."
Katheleen Andrews, Omaha, Neb., junior,
said she was in the building yesterday
morning when the tums first triggered
the alarm. "I think it's just that a
ceramic klinet had set off the alarm
Andrews said she was frustrated by having to leave for the whole day.
"I WAS ON the very top floor when it first happened, so I did not notice any smoke," she said. "Then at about 12:30. I could smell it and see it."
"I was trying to get done with this project I have due," she said. "I wanted to get it all finished. Now I have to wait."
Greg Dinderman, Lawrence senior, was also in the building when the alarm went off.
"This seems to be a continual problem," he said. "It's not the personnel." is the fact that there are more people involved.
Panel approves replacement fee for lost or stolen bus pass
By CHRIS CLEARY Staff Reporter
Students must pay $7.50 for a lost or stolen bus pass starting today.
The student transportation board approved the replacement fee last night at a board meeting.
In past semesters, students had to pay the full price for a replaced bus pass. This semester, bus passes have been replaced free, but an unusual number of students re-registered and were given board members to think that students were being irresponsible or defrauding passes.
"I at least 10 people come in a week," said Nancy Anderson, transportation coordinator for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority.
Tim Bolmer, St. Joseph, Mo. senior, and board member, said a fine should be established to prevent students from tampering with bus pass stickers on their KU
"We learned last year that if people can rob from the system, they will." Boller said. Other board members disagreed, saying that the law would question bus pass replacements was a lot.
"We should ask to see if there is a peak or a rise in replacement of KU '1Ds. Hugh Earl said that he found that."
After students pay the new fee, they must go through the regular procedure to obtain a replacement.
If they lose their pass at the start of the semester, they must wait three weeks from the last day of enrollment to receive a new one and notify the transportation coordinator. The waiting period was established to prevent students from buying bus stickers and giving or selling them to others.
For stolen passes, students must file a report with KU police. After waiting one week, they must file a signed form of agreement with the transportation coordinator and show their new KU ID. They then will receive their bus pass sticker at the Kansas Union business office.
Students may recieve a full refund on their bus pass within three weeks of the purchase date.
Also last night, the board discussed modifying the bus route from main campus to Heatherwood Valley Apartments, 2040 Heatherwood Drive, so it would include the Frank R. Burge Union and west campus. The board will discuss that change at its next meeting Nov. 29, but it voted to reschedule the bus to run twice instead of every half hour.
