I ask the sexpert
Why does my coach not want
me to have sexual intercourse
the night before a game? Does it
diminish athletic performance?
There is no scientific support
for the theory that ejaculation or
sexual climax physically ex
hausts the athlete, nor that sex
the night before a game renders
the athlete too relaxed to do his
or her best
A late night out, however
could interfere with a restful
sleep Some trainers do
advocate sexual activity the
night before a big sports event
to alleviate tense anticipation
and anxiety
It seems more likely that your
coach is trying to make sure
athletes get enough sleep, or
may be interested in preserving
the image of the athlete as
clean-minded and clean-living
I'm having trouble keeping up
with all the anti-abortion
proposals The latest one I've
heard of is the “Human Life
Federalism Amendment."
What's that one all about?
The ultimate effect of the new
''federalism" amendment would
be to allow Congress to pass
legislation completely outlawing
abortion To accomplish this,
the proposed amendment
states that 1) a woman s deci
sion to abort her pregnancy is
not protected by the Constitu
tion (this would overturn the
Supreme Court's 1973 deci
sion), and 2) both the states and
the federal government have
the right to pass laws restricting
abortion
The proposal further requires
that the more restrictive of these
two laws shall govern
This amendment was
introduced in Congress on
Sept 22, 1981 by Sen Orrin
Hatch of Utah By allowing
Congress the power to pass
legislation to completely outlaw
abortion, it basically would have
the same effect as other Human
Life Amendments submitted
earlier
One major difference is that

uo hungry on Thursday,
famine relief group asks
The Oxford Committee for Famine Relief is asking everyone to
skip meals Thursday during its "Fast For a World Harvest"
Wayne Miller, coordinator of Oxfam s local chapter, is asking
people to donate money saved on meals to Oxfam Donations will
be used by Oxfam to help fight hunger in Asia, Africa, and Latin
America he says
A "break-fast" program includes a discussion of Oxfam's relief
effort in Kampuchea by Joel Charney. Oxfam coordinator in
Southeast Asia Food and music combine to stop the fast at 5 30
p m at Northwest Christian College Charney will speak at 7 pm
Films will be shown from 11am to 3 p m in room 101 EMU as
part of the program The films depict political tactics involved in
world hunger, Miller says
"There is enough food in the world — in grain alone — to
provide every man woman, and child with 3 000 calories a day,"
Miller says "Fundamentally, the problem is bad distribution of
food "
The goal of the fast is to help people become aware of similar
issues of world hunger, he says
It's good to fast because it starts a kind of personal commit
ment Ideally, the hope is that people will go and do something
further "
