Sex Education
Parent-Teachers Association of State College was
ti ea,,eu uy the showing of the new film, "Human Growth,"
which is hot yet ready for public release.
The film is the story of human life, designed as an instruc
tional aid for the grammar school teacher in giving sex in
struction to a co-educational class. The film is the result of
long study by experts of the University of Oregon. It presents
an opportunity, and a challenge, to the young citizens of
America, particularly the college group.
Think.ng people have long realized the need for reform
in methods of sex instruction. Treatment of sex as a normal
function, free exchange of ideas in co-educational classes,
instruction to children at an early age are the components
of the new idea in sex education. "Human Growth" is one
long step toward a realization of these factors.
Unfortunately, a large percentage of the public does not
seem prepared for such a forward step. That is the challenge
that college students face today. This new film, after its re
lease, can be the means of spreading the new methods.
Today's college students, who will be tomorrow's gram
mar and high school teachers, and even more important, to
morrow's parents, must take the lead in seeing that the sex
theme is no longer "hushed up." It is their chance to lead the
way on a path to an enlightened outlook on life, and make
possible happier, healthier children in an enlightened world.

War, A Crime
TO THE EDITOR: It is our re
sponsibility as world citizens to
do everything in our power to
prevent World War 111 and to
make "peace in our time" a
reality instead of a mere dream.
'I am convinced that this demands
responsible individual action
which may at times make it
necessary for people to disobey
laws passed by national govern
ments, and enter into civil dis
obedience.)
War is a crime against human
ity and I believe it is criminal
for individuals to participate in
such actions. If the United States
government passes a draft law I
shall refuse to register for or obey

any provisions of such a law. It
is at least within the power of an
individual to affect disarmament
by one gun, and that I shall do.
I know that many others will
be with me in seeking to obey a
higher law while violating the
federal law, and it is my hope
that many others will seriously
consider rejecting war as a mini
mum step in achieving world
unity. This position may mean
prison, persecution or even death
but no other course will convince
men and governments that indi
viduals will no longer be bull
dozed into criminal acts because
of legislative orders. Wars will
cease when men refuse to fight.

"This sending us home in less than a week is a big fraud!
Time was when a mother got a ten day vacation!"
Biting the Hand
Those unsung heroines of the campus, the Windcrest
wives, were dealt a low blow Tuesday night when the wife
of a prominent local businessman referred to them as "chari
ty cases supported by the government" and "a bunch of
cheap skates" in a public meeting.
We know of no people who fit this description less than
the Windcrest wives. These women, who are struggling along
on a meager subsistence to enable their husbands to secure
a college education, are putting up with inconveniences that
would probably send their antagonist home to mother in
tears.
This speaker also stated that "the G.l.'s are ruining the
town!" Forsooth, Madame, your husband and his fellow
businessmen never had it so good—to copy an old Army
phrase. From the signs of expansion evident in town, the
veteran population has brought prosperity to State College
instead of ruin.
Biting the hand that feeds you is never a good business
practice
