Cultural revolution
i
overshadows sexuai
i
by Linda Larson
The sexual revolution is just
one part of the total cultural
revolution going on now,
Benjamin Demott, professor of
English at Amherst College said
Friday.
This wider revolution is
protesting against the "culture
of slots which sorts our lives
like eggs," the Massachusetts
educator said in a speech
entitled "Sexual and Other
Institutions."
"It is ;i revolution on behalf
of richness and fullness of
experience," Demott said.
Most Americans have no
power to change their lives, he
said. They are sorted by
occupation, income, tastes,
choice of neighborhood, and
many other things, the last
speaker of the ASUN Time-Out
C onference explained.
Protesters are saying, "I
should p recced the culture. My
needs should be more
important and should affect the
choices offered to me," he
added.
Demott said the sexual
revolution should be placed in
the broader social context of
the cultural revolution. It is
much more than "another
middle-class movement," he
said.
"We must diminish the
force of the difference between
male and female and let the
masculinity and femininity in
each express itself," Demott
said.
The character of group sex
is religious, according to
Demott. It is a movement from
sex relationships and is
"meeting a need for something
that can trigger the human
need for moments of awe," he
said.
This need in people for
variety can be seen in the
educated dropouts who reject
middle class life, Demott said.
"These people can get a sense
of variety by moving in a
different direction than was
first planned for them," he
said.
Demott said the problem
for most neoDle now is that
they have no other way to get
variety than through sexual
experiment, divorce, changing
of mates, or promiscuity.
"We are in a society that
permits the model of variety to
be seen by only a small number
of people," he said.
In their Friday meeting at
the Medical Center in Omaha
the Board of Regents approved
preliminary plans for
construction of a $750,000
system wide office building
adjacent to the UNL East
Campus.
The Board also approved an
expansion of Memorial
Stadium and briefly discussed
the Time-Out Conference on
Human Sexuality which ended
Friday.
The new administration
building is to be built on the
south side of Holdredge Street
between 38th and 39th. The
land in which the two-story
structure will be built is
currently vacant and owned by
the University.
Plans for the new building
stemmed from the report of a
professional consulting firm
which recommended that the
NU system-wide offices be
moved from the UNL campus.
The University of
Nebraska Foundation will
provide financing for the
building on a lease-purchase
agreement, according to NU
President D.B. Varner. No tax
money will be used, he said.
Foundation president Harry
Haynie was quoted by
administrators as saying that
the board will make quarterly
payments toward the total
cost. The payments will come
from unrestricted income from
private endowments, Haynie
said.
The Regents also voted to
add 9,000 seats to Memorial
Stadium, increasing the seating
capacity to 76,000.
The $500,000 extension
will be planned by an Omaha

architectural firm. Thirty rows
of additional seats are planned
for the south stadium.
It is expected that the
addition will be completed
before the opening of the 1972
football season. The addition is
between students and staff and
between staff and Regents as
the major problem of the
conference.
Regent Edward
Schwartzkopf of Lincoln,
criticized the Board and others
who protested the conference
for making judgments without
being there. Schwartzkopf said
he attended three of the events
and heard only three
four-letter words.
The Regents also heard
protests from citizens' action
group opposed to the westward
expansion of UNO.
Concerning other issues,
Varner suggested that the
Regents consider changes in
several graduate programs.
It would be logical to move
the Graduate School of Social
Work to Omaha, Varner said,
since Omaha provides a "better
laboratory for students in the
field of social work than any
other communitv in the state."
to be funded through the
athletic department fund,
which gets no tax money.
NU officials estimated that
the addition would be paid for
within two to three years with
revenue from additional
tickets.
The Regents also briefly
discussed the UNL Time-Out
Conference. Merk Hobson,
executive vice president for
academic affairs, said in a
report that the UNL student
affairs staff was not aware of
the content of the Time-Out
Conference until Mid-August.
Varner, Hobson and Regent
Robert Prokop of Wilber all
cited lack of communication
Though both UNL and UNO
have social work programs the
graduate program is currently
administered on the Lincoln
campus.
The president also suggested
relocating the NU school of
pharmacy at the University
Medical Center.
The Board was also
presented with an analysis of
the enrollment slump at UNO.
NU Executive Vice President
for Administration Howard R.
Neville said that UNO
enrollment is down from last
year by 3.6 per cent. An
increase in enrollment had
been predicted.
Total enrollment for the
three NU campuses was set at
35,485, an increase of 443 over
last year. However, this year's
fieshman class declined by
418, Neville noted.
Enrollment at UNL rose to
21,541, compared with 20,810
last fall.
