Coll Guideline Sex Age eec eg NEW YORK. (WMNS) College-age men and women, struggling in late adolescence to complete their biological, emotional and sexual development, need explicit guidance to help them develop standards of responsible sexual behavior. They do not now, by and large, receive such guidance from college administrators or other adults. This is one of the observations made in a recent report, "Sex and the College Student," prepared by a committee of the Group for the Advancement of Psychiatry (GAP) and endorsed by its 260 members. Although addressed to college officials, the report also offers helpful guidelines to parents.

It Is highly advisable, the psychiatrists note, that parents not assume that if they ignore the sex needs of their youngsters, these needs will somehow disappear. College officials who ignore the existence of the sexual needs of their students invite problems for both the college and the student. Parents and colleges, the psychiatrists caution, must recognize that standards of sexual morality and conduct are changing rapidly under the impact of recent scientific advances and cultural changes. The double standard of morality, experts agree, is rejected by many young people. They also recognize that the adult world is far from a consensus on what constitutes acceptable sexual behavior.

"Adult attitudes frequently appear (to young people) to be based on conflicting values, lack of candor and failure to respond to new realities," the report notes. Here are some guidelines the committee feels will be helpful to adults considering the sexual behavior of college-age people: Sex is an evolving force that changes as people go through various phases of development. Throughout adolescence the individual is preparing himself for his adult sex role. "Behavior patterns in late adolescence are not necessarily permanent, they may express a temporary adaptation," the report observes. Regulations must respect a student's privacy.

But a student who flaunts his sexual behavior may disturb others, and therefore the college may be obliged to intervene. Sound rules concerning sexual behavior will take into account, the report notes, the student who needs to be protected from premature sexual experimentation as well as the more mature student whose development requires more freedom. CONTRACEPTIVE INFORMATION ESSENTIAL Campus health services should make available information bn contraception. Not to do so is to provide inadequate health service. Actual prescription of contraceptive materials, however, cannot be done routinely or casually, since "many students will interpret (this) as sanction for their use." Sex education courses should provide factual in formation and opportunity for "open, objective discussion of any and all sexual issues." Such courses should identify and correct misconceptions and clarify the college position on questions of sexual conduct.

"An Important goal," the pamphlet notes, "is to encourage dialogue about the student's responsibility to himself and others." Homosexuality may be a passing phase in a student's life, requiring counseling rather than discipline. Noting that some young people may pass through a homosexual phase and then go on to establish successful heterosexual behavior, the committee warns against premature labeling of an adolescent as a homosexual. Such labeling might foreclose an understanding of the real problem being faced by the youngster.

"It works like an answering service. A client calls in with a diet problem, which is recorded. Then the dietitian on duty works out the problem, tapes it, and the answer is phoned to the client.

This way we have a record of both question and answer." Sister Regina Marie would like to see the dietiticans, nurses and pharmacists join the battle against false advertising of fad foods and pills in all channels of communication. "We've got to keep plugging good health through good diet, and our best weapon is our knowledge." Sister Regina Marie is a nutrition instructor at St. Mercy College and Mt.

After lessons there, and roles in soap operas and "one or two" Broadway plays, Sean is starting all over again to become a big-time movie star.

"I will not contest your masculinity," Rothchild wrote, "which you and other females have proven in your too often successful assaults on man's castle, "I challenge you to the girl's game of jacks," Rothchild wrote, "regular twosies or triple bouncles." "That's really sad," Miss McVeigh said. "The Yale Daily people are very sensitive about the Harvard Crimson. They have a nice building but not much else." She said she'd like to cook dinner for Rothchild over at the student co-op she shares with 24 other girls.
