Human Sexuality Program Comes to Otterbein On Tuesday, January 21, at 8:30 p.m., · a new residence program will be initiated ~t Otterbein. Dr. Sol Gordon will be the guest speaker at Lemay Lecture Hall, and his subject will be "Ten Heavy Facts About Sex That College Students Don't Know." Dr. Gordon is the lead speaker for the Human Sexuality Program - -a brainchild of Dean Oldag and the Re~idence Programming Service. Dean Oldag explains that the sexuality Program itself is not a new idea, but the presentations to be made in this series are new to ·the Otterbein Campus. The dean stresses that this series' aim is to allow one to come to understand his own sexuality, as well as that of others. It will relate the importance of sex and what part it plays in a personal relationship. The series neither advocates nor condemns sex in a relationship it merely discusses the positive and negative effects of sexual involvement. The reasoning behind the program, the dean says, is to offer the opportunity for the 'Knowledgable to confirm what they know, or learn more, and the inknowledgable to learn something new.' The epidemic of V.D., and rise in unwanted pregnancies, are also bases for the instigation of the program.

Frosh Permitted cars on campus
Several important bills were passed at the January 8 meeting of the Otterbein College Senate. Perhaps the most important one passed was the "Eligibility of Freshmen to have a Registered Car on Campus." This bill, originating in the Campus Regulations Committee, was introduced at the November 6, 1974 meeting, but the Senate voted to send it back to the Campus Regulations Committee for more study. The Senate felt that there was not sufficient data, concerning the available parking spaces with the addition of freshmen having cars. This information was reported at the Jan. 8 meeting. This will add to the eligibility section of "Motor Vehicle Rules and Regulations" on page 41 of the 1974-75 Campus Life Handbook the word freshman, along with sophomore, junior, and senior -' resident student5. An amendment to Article VII, Judicial Bodies - Traffic Council Appeal Procedure, originally presented at the

All of those bills came from the Curriculum Committee.
