Rep by Pop Sexual Revolution?
Council Meeting Chaotic '
• LONDON (CUP) — A sexual re volution is in progress in the United Staes but hasn’t reached Canada yet, according to Prof. W.E. Mann of the University of Western On tario. The revolution is characterized by greater freedom of speech, es pecially on such subjects as homo sexuality, and by a younger age for dating and marriage. Prof. Mann, speaking to a Stu dent Christian Movement (SCM) meeting last week said that within five to 10 years the revolution will spread and increase in Canada. He suggested that perhaps an ex treme puritanical movement will then emerge to control the loose morality. "Men will start to get their hair done at a hair dresser’s while women will start taking over some of the traditionally masculine jobs,’* predicts Prof. Mann. __ ."The new concept of pre-marital chastity emerging seems to be that if you think you are in love then you can express yourself fully. According to Kinsey’s successor, Prof. Ehrmann, of all young un married college students, twothirds of the males and one-third of the girls have some pre-marital experience,” he continued. Ringing and pinning are gaining social approval, partly because they seem to act as controls to extreme emotions. The number of abortions is ris ing as are the number of contra ceptives used. According to Prof. Mann of every 100 live births in Ontario, 3.2 are to unwed mothers. This 4.5 in the U.S. and in parts of the Caribbean, three-quarters of all live births are to unwed mothers. To help meet these growing prob lems, high schools across the coun try are establishing sex classes. London’s "facts of life” classes in grade 11 to 13 are typical. Local doctors visit these classes and fill out the regular training sessions with talks on the physical functions of the human body and the psychological effects of sex.

Carleton Condemns Students In Pedro Football Fracas Tri-lateral condemnation of the Carleton students responsible for the burning of a Fleur de Lis at the Carleton - University of Ot tawa football game has come in the wake of many protests. Representative Council at Carle ton moved to "censure as exceed
ingly reprehensible the burning of a Fleur de Lis in Raven Stadium and state that in no way did it represent the feeling of the maj ority of Carleton students. Condemnation of the demonstra tions on the part of University of Ottawa Grand Council followed last Saturday. The motion read that "the Student’s Union a) officially condemn the action of a number of Carleton University students as a gesture of disrespect and insult towards the students of the Uni versity of Ottawa, b) demand that the President of the Students’ Un ion of Carleton University publicly apologize to the Students’ Union of University of Ottawa and c) take measures to- be certain that such folly not reoccur in the future.” That same afternoon, the Students* Union received the following tele gram from Carleton: "The students association of Carleton University expresses its deep concern over the offensive events that took place at the football game between Carle ton University and Ottawa University at Carleton University on the 12th of October 1963. specifically the burning of a Fleur de Lis by QarletOn Students. While realizing that
this event was perpetrated by a small number of immature Carleton students who wished nothing more than to antagonize the University of Ottawa students present in the spirit of the traditional CarletonOttawa University rivalry, we also realize that this act was in ex tremely bad taste. We condemn this act ourselves and very much regret the insult that has been caused to both the French-Canadian students at the University of Ottawa and to every French-Canadian in Canada.” (signed by Fred D. Gault, president of Carleton Students* As sociation). The FULCRUM was informed that all last week there were fears that the more radical of the FrenchCanadian- students would organize a counter-demonstration. At press time informed opinion is that there will be no further demonstrations.
FULCRUM FEATURES
Another meeting of the Grand Council has ended in indecision over the final draft concerning "Representation by Population” for the council. The basic conflict seems to be between two factions, one up holding an allotment of votes to each faculty on a basis of student popu lation, and the other on a basis of the amount contributed to the Students* Union. The latter view point seems to have been defeated, but there is still difficulty in ap proving the former, due to a rather complicated system devised to maintain a balance of power between the undergraduate faculties and the other representatives. In short, the arrangement is this. Of the total undergraduate votes, the graduate and professional fa culties will receive two-third and the executive one third. Since the representation by population system will give one vote to every one hundred votes, the undergraduate faculties will have a total of twen ty-eight votes, (Arts 7, Science 6, Commerce 4 etc.) and the repre sentatives will receive twenty-eight with graduate and profession facul ties eighteen (Medicine 8, Psycholo gy, Education, Common Law, Civil Law three each and Library Science one,) and the executive nine votes (President Casey three, and each vice-president three): and on top of all this, one vote to the extension department to round out the balance.
Admin. Pays Utilities The lights will not go out at the Students* Union. Late last week it was revealed that the Ad ministration has now decided to pay for the utilities at the Stu dents* Union Houses at 609 and 611 Cumberland Streets. In a letter to David Casey, Pres ident of the Students* Union, Father Guilbeault, Assistant to the Rector in charge of Student Affairs inform ed the executive that the expenses for electricity and heat for the two buildings will be paid for by the Administration for the present Academic year. This ended an earlier dead-lock between the Union and the Admin istration over who should pay for these utilities. Both parties had been quite adamant in refusing to pay. The Administration’s decision came none too soon, as a cut-off of the electricity was expected last Friday.
