Thomas. by Pam Phillips Stajf Writer The University's course in human sexuality has received funds from the SJiuol of Public Health and the Health Fducation Department, insuring its continuation. Robert R. Wilson, chairman of the Human Sexuality Committee, said S300 was released this week from the School of Public Health and S250 from the Department of Health Education. Dr. Guy V. Steuart, chairman of the Health Fducation Department, played a major role in obtaining the funds, Wilson said. A minimum of SHOO was needed to fund Health Fducation 33, topics in human sexuality, according to Wilson, and the School of Nursing contributed S250 earlier this semester. Dr. James A. Taylor, director of the Student Health Service, also assisted in the search for funds. The service freed $390 for printing and reproductions of class materials. The course's instructor, Dr. Takey Crist, assistant professor of obstetrics and gynecology and assistant professor of health education, said: "I always had a lot of confidence in the Department of Health Education. Dr. Steuart has always been a great supporter of the young people on campus." Wilson was optimistic about the future of the course. "I think that with the help of Dr. Steuart," he said, "the course will get permanent funds from the School of Public Health allocation for the spring semester." He said Health Fd 33' will remain under the direction of the Department of Health Education. Without the worry about the lack of funds. Wilson said course leaders hope to attract established lecturers from all over the country.
