WHAT CENSORED REVOLUTION ?
MAKE IT
COUNT
The past is over,
done with,
Never to be altered,
Never to be removed,
Yet receding irretrievably
into the hollow cave of
oblivion,
The future is void of actuality
Save in our heart’s expectant
dreams,
Nothing exists ,
Excepting the very immediate
present,
We are alone.in each living
Split stroke of eternity.
by Mike Kasten
This most intriguing title was the
theme of Dr. James Staudenmeier’s
recent discussion held in. the SUB
lounge on Tuesday, Feb. 13, 1968,
at 2:30 P.M. What revolution was
he referring to the sexual revo
lution!
Dr. Staudenmeier, counseling psy
chologist at Highacres, began his
lecture by refuting the well-estab
lished concept of a sexual revolu
tion in today’s society. He feels
that we are not in a sexual revolu
tion at this time, but are in danger
of falling into one unless prevent
ative measures are taken immedi
ately.
He proceeded to inform the audi
ence of the sexual activity which is
under attack today in suburbia and
on the college campus. He made
reference to some of the present day
philosophies being followed. Spe
cifically, he pointed out Margaret
Mead’s theories on marriage and
Hugh Heffner’s “Playboy Philoso
phy”.
Continuing, he summarized past
sexual revolutions beginning with
the era of the 1920’.s and the role
prosperity had to play in sex activ
ity. This was followed by an ac-
FORDHAM COACH HIRED
BY PENN STATE
John Bach, who has been coach
ing basketball at Fordham Univers
ity for 18 years, will be taking
over as Penn State’s head basket
ball coach this spring. His ap
pointment to succeed John Egli
was made, after Egli asked to be
relieved of his coaching duties.
He spent 14 years as Penn State’s
coach supporting a record of 186
wins and 133 losses.
Bach’s career record consists of
258 victories and 192 losses. He
has proved himself successful at
count of the 1930’s and the depres
sion’s effecton sex life. The 1950’s
with its post war attitudes on sex,
was the next era under perusal. Last
ly, the present day philosophy,
which is largely influenced by tele
vision and the pill, was examined.
The three main fears, fear of sin,
fear of losing virginity, and fear of
disease as a deterrent to sexual pro
miscuity in the past are largely dis
pelled today, Dr. Staudenmeier em
phasized, because of the pill and
because people today are not will
ing to readily accept the “Thou
Shalt Not” rules as laws.
Sexual Education is the ultimate
solution in combatting a sexual rev
olution in Dr. Staudenmeier’s esti
mation. He strongly feels and urges
a vigorous program should be blend
ed into the regular course schedules
beginning at the junior high school
level and continuing throughout col
lege life. Furthermore, he is con
vinced that classes in adult educa
tion should be formed in order to or
ient the parents to be more under
standing and knowledgeable on sex
so that they may convey this know
ledge and understanding to their
children.
Fordham with a current season of
14 wins and 6 losses. Bach’s
original plans were to leave coach
ing at the end of this season to
devote full time to his dual role of
director of athletics at Fordham.
Penn State Athletic Director
Ernest B. McCoy expressed extreme
pleasure with Bach’s addition to the
staff. Bach has an excellent back
ground in fundamentals, and for
the past 18 years has enjoyed a
successful career as one of the
nations foremost coaches.
