Twenty years from now kids will ask their fathers, "When the was the War incorporated?" and "Were you a charter member of the War?" Today's horror movies are tomorrow's fairy tales. "Daddy, will you read me that funny story about General Westmoreland?" Or "How about that old country humorist Lyndon Johnson, wasn't he a roit? Almost as good as Will Rogers." History will remember the Great America of the 1960's in a way not quite like the way in which we see ourselves. "Say, can you tell me The Man On The Street who succeeded holy an moralistic view of "mod concepts of free love, carefree romance, sexual revolution" is that they are all so bad that he will not move to present the tragedy of further unwanted prega ncy by including any information on contraception in his column. Sisters and brothers. Columbia has a Planned Parenthood at 1845 Assembly St. (253-7737 or 253-4384). It is an ef ficient sympathetic and concerned organization. Dr. Burnette and Father Brown are weilding the old bludgeon of intimidation to frighten women to an acceptance of the ethic of the double standard. Dr. Burnette is asking us to harter sex for security, to not sleep with anyone until we are married on pain of fearful retribution: pregancy and public shame. Father Brown says much the same thing, to "catch a man" stay out of bed, no one wants "used merchandise." Both are on the defensive. Ed Chen provoked them hy saying women need on longer fear those threats. Ed Chen is right. Yet Mr. Chen's viewpoint was scarcely more imaginative. Freed of the old threats we can all become hedonists physically ex pressing our "passion to live only for today." At best, he sees the new freedom as providing room for "trial marriages" to give people an opportunity for knowledge of self and greater experience with the world to bring to life-long bonds. Dr. Burnette was provoked by the apparent callousness of Mr. Chen's viewpoint. As Dr. B. un derstanids. sensitive people do not move in and out of bed with one another easily or without pain. The blithe hedonism Mr. Chen describes is only one facet of the sexual revolution. The pill has made room for promiscuity. But far more important, It has made room for meaningful human contact (in several senses); new avenues to discover who we are and how we might live. Perhaps ironically, I speak from the far side of the "sexual revolution" and the other side of the apple. I am a married woman attending the University. I chose PW r education c( 9od spelling u t hell, it's Richard Nixon?" "Well, considering the general tendency of the presidency before him, I'd have ot say he was suc ceeded by either Maxwell Smart or Clarabell the clown, no, Clarabell preceded him." "Great, you have just won a twenty year subscription to Time magazine. Now back to our studios in downtown Long Biinh where the 'Name that Wat' show continues." "Hello again, folks. As you might remember, just before our com mercial for the Colt Manufacturing C.ompany, who brings the War to you, Miss Ardelle Floarmaup won a three-week campaign in the Cambodian border sector. Now Miss Floarmaup, you have a chance to compete for the weekly prize of a slightly used F-273 jet bomber which was phased out last week when the F-274 was put in the war. The 273 holds a longevity record of fourteen days in the Air Force inventory." d fun marriage not because I was sex starved or future-frightened, but because I believed the institution to have many vital and unexplored possibities, and to be a life option in a world overwhelmingly manipulated by the forces of death and destruction. Questions of sex role remain open and complicated. What can it mean to speak of liberatec women? Liberated men? What is the future of the nuclear family? What new ways of relating to and taking care of the needs of one another can we evolve? How can we make more room for respect, ioy and human dignity--as well as fun--in relations between people? Kudos AWS for SEXPO. Kudos Mr. CThen for your column. We needI more free and open discussion of sex, but on a more sophisticated level.

"Thank you for those en couraging words, Miss Floar maup. Now tell me, who was that wonderful man who got us into that glorious war that has boosted the American economy to its highest point in history?" "Wow, somethin' else, yippee..." "Yes, I realize it's a hard question, but do your best now." "Warren P. Harding." "No, Miss Floarmaup, I'm afraid you're wrong. Even though it does seem quite a long time since the beginning of this war, it was not Warren PF. Harding who began it. So I'm afraid we can't .give you the F-273,.lut we can give you the consolation prize - a week of R and R in the battle-scarred hamlet of your choice. It says here on your little card that you would like to go to Alberquerque, New Mexico, but I'm afraid we have just received word that they were blown off the map this morning, so please make another choice." "Sacramento, California." "Very good Miss Floarmaup. As you all know, Sacramento was repatriated last weekend when the latest Gallup Poll showed only 79 per cent of the natives favored Communist rule. Thanks, Miss Floarmaup, and have a good trip.

KACHWALA Guest Colunmist It was an hour before sunrise. Everyting stood still in an ticipation of that touch of warmth and grace. The dawn was creeping over dark clouds, and occasionally John heard a bird whistle on a tree top. He took a deep breath and exhaled it with a soft murmur, "Peace." The word didn't weight much. He repeated it,, this time inhaling deeply and exhaling with force. He kept doing it for a while, until he realized the "Peace" sounded more like a word that parrots prefer. It was no use repeating it. He had been all his life an idealist, seeking solutions to his problems in the mysteries of nature. He thought he smiled but found no peace within. The future seemed so obscure. Was life a paradise or battlefield. It surely wasn't made up of apple pie or LSD, There was some mysterious element in him that made him feel restless. He stretched his right hand and plucked some half-dried leaves from a nearby tree. He twisted and scattered them in tiny bits.

After all, he wasn't even prepared to think about marriage. Besides, who wanted to bring up kids in this crumbling world? Safe be their souls in heaven. The most important question in his mind was how to attain peace. He couldn't picture himself as a flower-child. Apost of an army officer would never suit his behavioral pattern. He didn't believe in uniforms. It was no answer to his inner self. A yellow butterfly carried his eyes away to a flower bed. What dress must lie put on today? His blue suit with a turtleneck might do just fine. He mus' participa the rally. He must Link of a slogan. The old s.ogans had orobably lost appeal.
