Sex through history subject of colloquium —by Jan Corwin A talk on the differences between the sexes, taken from; an evolutionary standpoint, will be presented at 3:30 p.m. tomorrow in 112 Kern. Two psychologists, Martin Daly and Margo Wilson, will speak about their research findings in this area. Their talk will include the topics of mate selectivity and promiscuity, marital jealousy and violence, and the double standard, as well as other aspects of human sexuality based on American and cross-cultural studies. The talk is part of a colloquium series being presented by the College of Health, Phys Ed and Recreation. Daly and Wilson’s visit is also being co-sponsored by the anthropology department and the Division of Individual and Family Studies. Daly and Wilson, both from McMaster University at Hamilton, Ontario, wrote a book, “Sex Evolution and Behavior,” in which they synthesized their research findings on human sex differences from biological, anthropological and psychological viewpoints. “The book has only been out for half a year but the informal response seems to be positive,” Jeffrey A. Kurland, assistant professor of anthropology, said. Before the colloquium is presented, the anthropology department will serve refreshments at 3 p.m. in 113 Carpenter. On Friday, there will be an informal gathering for those who wish to continue discussion with Daly and Wilson from 10 a.m. to noon in 104 White Building. —by Denise Laffan YOUTH IS OUR CONCERN The PIARISTS The Piarists are a Catholic Order of priests and brothers who dedicate their lives to educate the young.
