Sexual Control Symposium Treat

⁹⁹

B\ Nancy Cushing M o n d a y n i g h t , O c t o b e r

! 30th was a r a r e t r e a t for I those i n t e r e s t e d in h i s t o r y , particularly in the field of women and t h e f a m i l y . T h e

*vm posium on sexual control in the nineteenth c e n t u r y proved to be an exciting experience. The m a i n s p e a k - er w a s C a r l D e g l e r , a prominent historian who h a s just written a book on w o m e n and the f a m i l y .

Degler's p a p e r , which w a s an e x t r a c t f r o m his book, w a s brilliantly r e f u t e d by Chris- topher Lasch and R a n d y McGowan. In his m o s t r r e c e n t book, Haven in a

Heartless World, L a s c h a r - gues a g a i n s t Degler's m a i n thesis. His r e p l i e s , t h e r e f o r e , also contained m a n y of t h e s a m e a r g u m e n t s in his book.

A l f r e d ' s h i s t o r y p r o f e s s o r Randy McGowan, although the family is not his field of specialization, m a d e w h a t were perhaps the m o s t pro- vocative and f a r r e a c h i n g c o m m e n t s on D e g l e r ' s p a p e r of any p r e s e n t .

Degler's m a i n contention w a s t h a t fem inists involved

¿ i n the social purity move-

\ n e n t of the nineteenth cen- t u r y sought f o r and a c h i e v e d

g r e a t e r f r e e d o m , p l e a s u r e and companionship in their sexual roles. The a d v i c e l i t e r a t u r e a n d p r o p o g a n d a w a s not, a s m o s t h i s t o r i a n s h a v e i n t e r p r e t e d it to be,

" a n t i - s e x " a n d sexually re- pressive, but r a t h e r m e r e l y an a t t e m p t on the p a r t of w o m e n to c o n t r o l m e n ' s sexuality, said Degler.

Lasch b e g a n his r e m a r k s with a d i r e c t a t t a c k upon Degler, s a y i n g " t h e s e x u a l attitudes of t h e nineteenth century c a n b e s u m m e d up in one w o r l d - R E P R E S S I O N . "

The social p u r i t y m o v e m e n t , Lasch points out, w a s not initiated by f e m i n i s t s , b u t r a t h e r by the health r e f o r m movement, specifically by t h e m e d i c a l p r o f e s s i o n . Degler cited birth control advocates a s being for s e x u a l f r e e d o m , and Lasch a r g u e d t h a t it was s e x u a l abstinence, not freedom these people desired.

McGowan criticized Deg- ler further, urging him to consider the issue on a deeper level. He acknow- ledged t h a t D e g l e r success- fully dispelled the m y t h t h a t the w o m a n ' s role was f o r c e d upon her by m en, but t h a t he w a s u n s u c c e s s f u l in docu- menting this a u t o n o m y wo- m e n supposedly achieved.

McGowan r e f u t e d t h a t t h e social purity m o v e m e n t involved m a n y m e n a s well a s women, and was not j u s t a

" b a t t l e of t h e sexes on a higher p l a n e , " but p a r t of a s h a r e d c o n c e r n for t h e family. This need, a s well «.s m e n ' s f e a r of w o m e n ' s , sexuality, led to an u n h e a l t h y attitude of w o m e n t o w a r d s t h e i r o w n sexuality, c o n t e n d s McGowan.

After all t h r e e had spoken formally, t h e d e b a t e w a s opened up to questions f r o m the audience. Among those p r e s e n t was a historian who teaches a t S.U.N.Y. a t Bing- h a m t o n , B e n B a r k e r - B e n - field. His book, The Horrors of a Half-Known Life h a s raised much c o n t r o v e r s y in the field of f e m i n i s t history.

A r e c e p t i o n held a f t e r - wards a f f o r d e d those who attended the w o n d e r f u l opportunity to m e e t and con- verse with p r o m i n e n t m e n in the field of history. T h e overall i m p r e s s i o n l e f t on m o s t p e o p l e , was t h a t l e f t by R a n d y M c G o w a n . T h e history d e p a r t m e n t ' s youn- gest m e m b e r t r i u m p h e d in the skillful u s e and depth of his a r g u m e n t s over P u l i t z e r P r i z e winner Carl Degler.

In another financial con- troversy, the Senate h e a r d a p r e l i m i n a r y r e q u e s t f o r $720 from the new G a y Alliance.

Questions a t t h a t time w e r e to be directed a t r e p r e s e n t a - tives only a b o u t the specific request, Bros toff a s s e r t e d to no avail.

Several s e n a t o r s chose to discuss the m o r a l i t y of t h e group r a t h e r than its financial request. " I t is a b s u r d t h a t the Senate should e v e n consider this g r o u p , " said P e t e r B e c k e r , s e n a t o r f r o m K a p p a Psi, concluding with a h a r s h opinion on w h a t ele- m e n t of societv he felt t h e

The Senate a p p r o v e d a n allocation of $400 to t h e riding Club. I t also voted to allow the F i n a n c i a l C o m m i t - tee to sign a c o n t r a c t f o r $150 with a Pacioli Society to audit student o r g a n i z a t i o n s .

The S e n a t e o f f i c e now occupies half of the old G a m e Room and c a n be closed off with a room divider to allow meetingsd to be held undis- turbed in the other p a r t of t h e room.

P l a n s to utilize t h e old Senate office a r e still incom- plete. The office m a y be used for a n o t h e r s t u d e n t organiza- tion, Brostoff said.

An Ear

to the Ground

By Diana L. Tomb At the L i b e r a l A r t s F a c u l t y

m e e t i n g in l a t e October, a May-June t e r m for non-trad- itional study was a p p r o v e d . If given the f i n a l go-ahead by P r o v o s t for A c a d e m i c Af- fairs S. Gene Odle, the new plan, optional for both students a n d f a c u l t y , should be into e f f e c t a t the end of this school y e a r .

Still in the p l a n n i n g s t a g e , the May-June term p r o m i s e s to h e a l s o m e of the s c a r s created by t h e elimination of A l f r e d ' s J a n u a r y t e r m - - k n o w n a s A l l e n t e r m - l a s t spri ng.

While in e d u c a t i o n a l con- c e p t , A l l e n t e r m a n d t h e M a y - J u n e t e r m d i f f e r in quite a few w a y s . The f i r s t , and perhaps m o s t i m p o r t a n t , difference is t h a t the May- J u n e t e r m , a l t h o u g h optional, c a n be t a k e n f o r c r e d i t . Another m a j o r d i f f e r e n c e is t h a t t h e r e will be no s t u d e n t initiated p r o j e c t s . Only p r o j e c t s o f f e r e d by m e m e b e r s of the f a c u l t y will be considered by a n oversee- ing c o m m i t t e e , m a d e up of the c h a i r p e r s o n of the Liber- al A r t s Curriculum Commit- tee, two other f a c u l t y m e m - bers, a n d one student.

P r o j e c t s n e e d not be limited in length by the length of the ac tual ter m, a c c o r d i n g to Dr. J o h n F o x e n , d e a n of t h e College of L i b e r a l Arts. T h e y may extend into t h e r e g u l a r s u m m e r sessions.

Students will pay for t h e p r o j e c t s by t h e c r e d i t hour, j u s t as they do for s u m m e r

courses. F u r t h e r f i n a n c i a l details have not been w o r k e d out, other t h a n t h e pay r a t e for faculty.

One significan a s p e c t of t h e term is t h a t i t is e x p e c t e d to be 'self-sufficient.' T h a t is, p r o j e c t s will be allowed to come about only if e n o u g h students sign up a n d p a y f o r them. An excetion to this would be if one p r o j e c t w e r e e x t r e m e l y p o p u l a r , provid- ing enough r e v e n u e to cover less popular projects, d e a n Foxen said.

The term originated in t h e L i b e r a l Arts College a n d will be m a i n t a i n e d t h e r e , b u t students and f a c u l t y f r o m other schools will be allowed to p a r t i c i p a t e in the May- June term. H o w c r e d i t till b e a r r a n g e d for any g r a d u a t i n g seniors who w a n t to t a k e projects is a n o t h e r detail t h a t has yet to be h a m m e r e d out.

The optional n a t u r e of this plan is hopefully w h a t will g u a r a n t e e its success. Allen- term failed to r e a l i z e its full p o t e n t i a l b e c a u s e i t w a s cluttered by p r o f e s s o r s who were obliged to offer c o u r s e s they d i d n ' t w a n t to t e a c h a n d by s t u d e n t s w h o w e r e obliged to t a k e c o u r s e s they d i d n ' t w a n t to take.

E a r l y s u g g e s t i o n s f o r courses s u p p o r t the notion that i n t e r e s t e d f a c u l t y will offer p r o j e c t s t h a t a r e ap- pealing to s t u d e n t s , t h e r e b y m a k i n g the M a y - J u n e t e r m work.

L e t ' s hope so.
