British View Sex In New Light, Lecturer States By YNES POZZI-ESCOT “The solid opposition to sex edu cation is broken in England,’’ Mr. Cyril Bibby said, opening tire Uni versity lecture series with a talk on "Sex and Family Life in Brit ain.” He explained this change has1 been brought about during the last ten years due to wartime condi tions and the concern of the gov ernment for venereal diseases. Up to then, sex education had been looked upon suspiciously and had been undertaken only by some pro gressive individuals and schools. As a result of the government’s interest, a large comprehensive program of sex education was set, lecturers were sent to schools and training courses for teachers were established. Mr. Bibby pointed out that al though England has been slow in accepting sex education, a frame work has now been established for considerable work in this field. “There are no figures,” he said, “but a fairly large majority of our schools are doing something.” Youth organizations are also concerned with this matter and a large number of its members are attending courses of sex educa tion. For older groups, marriage, guidance centers are operating'. Their number has increased in six years from one to a hundred. In comparing the English and the American approach on sex edu cation, Mr. Bibby noted the dif ference in terms. Whereas in Eng land the expression “sex educa tion” is used, in America the same content is referred to as “educa tion for family life.” Another difference is that in England the stress has been put on sex education in the schools and in America a considerable pro gram of health education has been developed in upper education. At the end of the lecture, Mr. Haar, professor of health educa tion, who had introduced the speaker, invited the audience to start a brief discussion on the sub ject. Fall Assemblies Scheduled ASUO assemblies for fall term were scheduled in a meeting Mon day, Sept. 25 by the Assembly Com mittee headed by W. A. Dahlberg. The program includes three cate gories: speakers who are experts in their field, pre-game rallies, and political assemblies. Hallies are planned to precede the California-Orcgon game, the St. Mary's-Oregon game, and the WSC-Oregon game. All rallies will take place in the morning in the Student Union ballroom Speakers Announced During the week of October 9-13, two consecutive evening assembles are planned at which candidates for governor, senator and United States representative will have an opportunity to speak before stu dents, faculty, and townspeople in an open public meeting. Under University policy it would be possible to have political presen tations on a non-partisan basis, 1 each speaker being the guest of the University.

Two other speakers will be Geor ge E. Taylor, of the Far Eastern and Russian Institute, University of Washington, Seattle, and Phil La Follette, three times governor of] Wisconsin and a member of Gen.
