'Facts of Life' Told by Huestis To Marriage Series Audience Who disapproves of young mar riage? Many parents express an objection but evidently Mother Na ture smiles upon it, Dr. Huestis, professor of zoology inferred at the YWCA Thursday night while discussing “Marriage and the Facts of Life.” “The female is a complex ani mal,” the professor said. “The sex ual maturity process begins earlier in females and is actually not com pleted until the woman is about 23 years of age,” he continued. By contrast, the apex of sexual male maturity is reached in the late teens. This misconception has af fected our marriage habits, he as serted, for biologically it would be well for men to marry women older than themselves. iucu iiiaiurc r^any Physically, men are in a better condition for the reproduction pro cess when they are in their late teens for sterility comes on slowly but steadily from that time on, he explained. Most women are mainly fertile in their twenties and thir ties, he added. More children are born to women who are about 23, he said, and at that time the children are the healthiest. Mongolian idiocy can occur only when women experi ence childbirth early or late in life, but not when the woman is in her early twenties, he assured his audi ence. Mongolian idiocy affects the offspring at birth and is incurable, he said. The sizeable decrease in the au dience at the second lecture of the “Majoring in Marriage’’ series seemed to indicate that the stu dents were rather sensitive to sex as a subject. Also noticeable was a hesitancy in asking questions al though pencils and paper were pro vided for that purpose. Dr. Huestis said that when i speaking on the same subject at one of the local sororities he had received "reams of questions," but he addressed a mixed group, Thursday night. Sex: Division Dr. Huestis defined sex as divi sion. It is concerned with the divi sion of female and male organisms to cause the reproduction process. Tests with guinea pigs have shown that if females are deprived of ovaries, they never mate and others mate only at certain times, he told the group. “Sexless females often do not get married,” Dr. Huestis said. He attributed this factor to our social pattern. Hormones Secreted Estrone and progestrone, female sex hormones produced in female glands and secreted in the blood, prompt females to mate in lower animals, he said. In lower animals, this process occurs seasonly so that offsprings will be born at a time of the year in which they can be best cared for. The zoologist said that the mat w " Remember— 4 WILL GET YOU 5 Dewey Supporters Schedule Meeting Students interested in forming a Dewey for president club are in vited to meet in the YMCA com mittee room at 6:45 p.m. April 27. At the meeting oincers will be elected and plans for a campus campaign discussed. Dewey will be in Eugene shortly after May 1 and will appear before the organization at that time. ing of primates is being carefully observed on islands on the Gulf of Mexicon where monkeys and apes exist in large numbers. “We act more like primates than lower ani mals," he said, “and it has been as certained that just as in primates the female hormones enter the blood consistently.” The amount of estrone produced daily in the hu man body is comparable to onc two-hundredth of a gummed pos tage stamp.
