Roy H arris, coordinator and host of the session says that he anticipates quite a large audi ence, based upon information he has received from citizens of the community that attended the firs t session. This is one of the 11 r s i op portunities fo r the citizens, both Black and White of Van couver, who have a common goal, to come together and openly discuss topics of injus tice, equality, discrim ination and brotherhood. These ses sions are to provide more awareness of community problems and the necessities of all minority groups. H arris said, "I'hese ses sions are certainly not to mo tivate the citizens to have an ti-p o lic e , anti - city govern ment. anti-white or anti-black attitudes. The sessions have managed to he presented at no expense to the city o r cash outlay to taxpayers, H a rris said. He credited sincere co operation to RobertM osei, d i rector of public relations at C lark College, motivated stu dents of the Black Studies class, Vancouver Community- Task Force and the many con cerned White citizens of the city. He further indicated that some of the cost fo r prepara tions and necessities was ab sorbed by one at his Portland business operations as a char itable contribution to commu nity betterment.

Ironically, many of these attacks would be prevented by one very simple, very cheap and very pleasant treatment: more sex.” D r. Campbell Moses, medi cal d ire cto r of the American H e a r t Association, com mented on D r. Schelmann's theory: " I t ’ s interesting, and while It oversim plifies the value and the problems of sex, it also points up the very real fact that most people after a heart at tack can get back to the level of sexual performance they had before the attack." As f o r D r. Schelmann’ s thoughts on tension and anxi ety, he added: ■‘ W'hat’ s new about sex problems raising tensions? That goes back to Freud. I wouldn't fault it but I would have liked to see more evidence.” Schelmann, a sexologist and columnist, discusses sex and heart disease in the A p ril is sue of Forum, an international journal of human relations. While p rim itiv e man con nected sex with rejuvenation and vigor, Schelmann w rites, civiliza tio n brought sexual g u ilt and a fear that sex was weakening.

" I believe,” he says, "th a t the best way a mancan release tension is by making love.” Schelmann argues that rela tively few middle-aged women die of heart disease and ob serves that these women are not w orried about sexual im potence.
