College Notes Dr. Ruth's foreplay views challenged STANFORD ? Alicc Supton, assistant dean of student affairs at Stanford University said she disagrees with sex educator Dr. Ruth Wcsthcimcr, who tells students it is not fair to say no to sexual intercourse after sexual foreplay. Both partners have the moral right to say "sorry, no go" up until sexual intercourse, Supton said. "Dr. Ruth doesn't think men need iu iuM- it wunictii i> reiusai seriously it tney arc tccling passionate," she said. Mary Goldstein, a faculty member at Stanford Medical Center, says it is unfortunate that Westheimer takes this view of "petting" among college students. "In my experience, many young college women exploring sexual relations will be in a situation of heavy petting," Goldstein said. She also said these women may have no intention of having intercourse. Fraternities drop little sister programs UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA ? Three University of Nebraska fraternities ? Kappa Sigma, Phi Kappa Psi and Tau Kappa Epsilon ? have joined a national trend in dronninc thrir lif tic sister programs. "There is a national trend among the 58 national TKE fraternities to dicourage their chapters from having little sister programs," said Mark Fite, national director for chapter services for TKE. Fite said TKE discourages its chapters against forming little sister programs because women can have a better greek experience in a sorority and because the program tends to create disharmony among fraternity members.

(ASSEMBLY AT IADY) SUN (1:30 6) I r Debate on gr By PATRICK JEAN Assistant features editor A debate over (JSC's greek fraternity and sorority system led to a decision that the system does not buy friends. The topic, "Resolved: The greek system provides the best friends money can buy," was the Sllhirrt nf n rlicrnc. sion hosted by the Athenian Literary and Debating Society. About 35 people attended, and the post-debate vote was inconclusive. David Lucas, an English sophomore and Athenian member, spoke in favor of the resolution. "These friends aren't really friends at all. They're really bought," he said. The greek system provides false friendships because fraternity and sorority members attempt to buy respect for one another instead of earning it, Lucas said. "Respect isn't there for these people at the start. It's only given." Lucas said a personal experience he had with a friend last year influenced his current opinion about greeks. A friend invited him to his fraternity's party, but only if he took out nis earring and dressed better, he said. Visitation. Continuad from pag? 1 sign in my guest.

John Herron, a marketing and finance junior and president of the USC Fraternity Council, spoke against the resolution. He said true friendship is part of the greek system's foundation at Carolina. "There should be a fraternitv or sororitv out therr for pvpnmn^ although it may not specifically be here at USC," he said. Herron, who is a member of the Delta Upsilon fraternity, said greeks are often placed in a negative critical spotlight by media such as The Gamecock. "We always have to fight stereotypes, especially the bad P.R. We're ready for it." The only way for students to find out if assumed stereotypes about greeks arc true is to get involved during rush week instead of being critical of a system they've never been a part of, he said. "Nobody ever made a person pledge," Herron said. "Pledging is a two-way street."

The recent integration of the council and the McBrydc quadrangle defeats such opinions about racism, he said. "You won't be railroaded out with a burning cross. . . In life, you earn respect. That's what every greek does," Herron said. Some guests and Athenian members added their opinions on the resolution, followed by Lucas' and Hcrron's closing statements. The vote result showed only four audience members favoring the resolution, and 15 op- % 4 posing. However, the results were somewhat inconclusive because 12 others abstained. 1 W njr ~r~<~ J < . 1^4) \ ^BWbb^ fcv x I j \ | {r?y .^tiSltXBS fflBm 1 M I IllfeMl I K#?jukflB * \ I TUHIIAC UltftMUOCVta^ n B mwmnw nwiffl I till. f f I W OWIWVUtH ing around ng freshman, plays putt-putt in the Tower's area nowden championship Wednesday. ntinuod from page 1 1 his visit open to university students, service at faculty and staff.
