Vancouver citizens discuss
Vancouvei, W a s h .- F he
second in a senes of Commu
nity Awareness Sessions has
been scheduled fo r Monday,
March 27, at 7:00 p.m. in the
Faculty Dining Room ofCaiser
Hall at Clark College.
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.
Anticipated presence at the
Monday night session is ex
pected by two national maga
zines, government officials
from a neighboring Washing

Busing when used to te tte r
the educational opportunities
of children is both desirable
and necessary. The stopping
of busing by the Presklent is
a defiance of the court system
and an undermining of the
system of checks ami balan

of government.

"D u rin g the next year,”
w rites D r. Eugene Schelmann
of Chicago, " m illio n s of men
w ill suffer from painful, often
fatal heartattacks. 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

and vigor, Schelmann w rites,

an association between heart
disease and such risk factors
as cholesterol level, blood

ledges. But he suggests, asdo
others, tension and anxiety
may also play a role.
" 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
