Perhaps the ex citement of it (the lovemaking short course) wore off or everyone knew what they wanted to do. Only a handful of students started attending and I just felt it was no longer needed.' ---Dr. W.M. Bryan Lack of interest halts lovemaking By ALICE WENNER Gamecock Staff Writer The short course in Lovemaking that has been taught for the past five years, was cancelled this year because of a lack of student interest. Dr. W. M. Bryan, the gynecologist . who taught the course, said he did not really know why there was a sudden disinterest in it. "Maybe because there are psychology courses on sex and marriage or more counselors around campus, there is no longer a need for the short course. Maybe because the pill is here and a girl knows she's not going to get pregnant or maybe students know everything about it these days," he said. Originally, Bryan said the course grew out of a demand from students who wanted to know more about sex. "I was asked to talke to different groups on campus. At first it was a group of 250 boys in the Honeycombs asking me questions. Then the girls dorms asked me to talk. And the since the need was obviously so great, the short course was started," he said. "Students starting coming in groves. Every Monday night at 7, they filled the amphitheater in the life science building with 300 to 400 people," he said. The course discussed such topics as the physiology of the sex organs, masturbation, homosexuals and any other topics the students were interested in. "We got remarkable publicity for it. The Associated Press took pictures of the class and the campus. Even the Atlanta Journal ran several pages on it. I received questions and letters from all over the country, England and India concerning the course," he said. "Then it began to fade out, perhaps the excitement of it wore off or everyone knew what they wanted to. Only a handfull of students started attending and I just felt it was no longer needed," he said. Bryan said he thought the change in our society toward sex had a lot to do with it. Many people are more free totalk about sex or to have sex in a relationship. From experience through his medical practice in gynecologist he said he now felt there is more of a need for courses in the psychological implications of sex or venereal disease. Bates student patrol gains SGA approval By JOHN SHARKEY Gamecock Staff Writer A student patrol for the ramp area near Bates House has been approved by a ppecial Student Government Association com mittee investigating the safety of students in the Bates House area. Sam Kaplan, committee chairman, said the committee hopes to get approval from the University to hire students to patrol the area in two shifts between 8 p.m. and 1:30 a.m. He said the committee wants the patrol to be a permanent operation. Kaplan said the committee agreed that creating a paid position would give the students a better attitude towards patrolling the area. He said it would also provide student jobs and low-cost protection. Kaplan said that the two representatives of campus police on the committee agree with the plan. The tentative plan is to have a pair of students patrol the area carrying with them walkie-talkies that would directly connect them with the campus police station. Kaplan said the students would have to go through a pretty strict screening process before qualifying for the* .
