Sexuality probed in Forum
(Continued from page 1)
about freedom, and Mrs.
Diane Henderson, presenting
an interpretative mime, the
two chaplains related the
Bible to sexuality, using the
image of “weaving a story
together.” Sexuality,
according to the program, is
the underlying thread that
holds all of a person’s life, his
"weaving,” together.
“Sexuality is our total selves.
Rev. Scrimsher said; and
Rev. Wells added, “It is our
closest communication with
another person, yet we can
render it without meaning if
we put it into a little box
unrelated to other areas of
life.” Using the story of Ruth
and Naomi as their primary
example, the two chaplains
felt that Bible stories help us
to see ourselves and our
places as they should be.
At 8:00 that night at the
third session the King’s
Players from Ridge Road
Baptist Church, directed by
Steve Jolly, presented two
short skits. Miss Elizabeth
Wilson, Meredith’s student
counselor, focused the
audience’s attention on two
main questions to be
discussed in small groups: (1)
As parents, how will we face
problems with sex in teaching
our children? and (2) How do
we work out our own morals
as college students in the area
of premarital sex?
The final session of the
Forum on October 11 served
well as a summary of the
entire three-day discussion on
sexuality. A panel
representing many sides of
the topic first presented
statements of their personal
view to the group. The
participants were in order of
their presentations: Mrs.
Shirley Bain, wife and
mother; Mrs. Betty Harris,
lecturer in the Duke
University School of Nursing;
Rev. Stewart Ellis, associate
pastor of West Raleigh
Presbyterian Church; and
Mrs. Louise Morris, marriage
counselor with the family
services of Wake County. The
entire panel affirmed the
importance of the word
“responsibility” in the area of
sex, although there was some
disagreement as to what
damaging effects of
premarital sex are. All the
panelists agreed that mature
sexuality in a loving
relationship was good and
beautiful. The communicative
aspect of the sex act was
stressed, too, throughout the
presentations. After the initial
get-acquainted speeches, the
floor was opened to questions
among the panelists and from
the audience. Those raised
dealt with a range of topics,
from the usual “premarital
sex” issue to the role of
parents in the sex education of
their children and the
differences in the instruction
given to girls and that given
to boys. The last comments
made by Mrs. Harris at the
end of the session
paraphrased Carl Rogers in
Becoming Partners. Rogers
says that, to be comfortable
with your sexuality and to
enjoy a satisfying sex
relationship, you must have
an emotiional as well as
intellectual committment to
your partner, you must not
stay tied to roles, you must
communicate feelings as they
exist, and, above all, be and
know yourself. These
statements seemed to puli
together the points of that last
discussion and points made
throughout the three days of
the Fall Forum.

replaced in 1957 with a cow
milking contest; once again,
in lieu of the real thing, each
class created a cow. The
student body must have
milked this event for all it was
worth, for the past years have
seen its demise and the
ascendancy of the calling of
the hogs to preeminence.
Handel would probably have
rolled over in his grave if he
could have heard last year’s
angelic seniors calling hogs to
that great feeding-trough in
The Sky to the melody of his
“Hallelujah!” chorus. Ah,
anything for the sweet taste of
victory.
The class songs are a
special highlight and are
usually quite good. They, as
do the tall tale and hog callin’,
carry through the class
theme, which could be
anything from the workings of
the digestive tract to Mother
Goose tales. Each event is
judged and after deliberation
the winner announced. In the
interim between the end of the
judged events and the

Author Reynolds Price, speaking here October 8, re-interpreted
various Bible stories, many of which will appear in his upcoming
book “Presence and Absence”.

Owen talhs craft
by Tom Parra more
God has a new interpreter
in the person of Duke novelist
Reynolds Price, who
appeared Monday night,
October 8 in the Student
Center auditorium. According
to Price, author of “A Long
and Happy Life” and other
well-known works of fiction,
virtually all translations of the
Bible have garbled the
meaning of various stories in
the Bible because of failure on
the part of translators to
understand the art of story
telling. The Duke writer
entertained an audience of
mostly Broughton High
students with his own new
translations of famous Bible-
stories which will appear in
his upcoming book Presence
and Absence. His talk was the
third in the current Cultural
Affairs series on “This
Semester North Carolina”.
On Monday the 15th, poet-
novelist Guy Owen spoke at
Meredith on the stories he has
written about a particular
locality in North Carolina. The
creator of “the flim-flam
man” and other celebrated
characters stressed the
advantages and
disadvantages of a Southerner
writing fiction in the South.
Many new 7th, 6th, 5th, and
4th degree Tar Heel
certificates were awarded to
members of his audience.
The next program of the
Cultural Affairs series will be
Dr. Richard Walser’s talk on
folk-lore on Monday, October
29th in the CEA at 8 p.m.
Walser, emeritus member of
the NCSU English faculty, is a
delightful humorist and
author of a long list of books,
including “Nematodes in My
Garden of Verse”, “North
Carolina Miscellany”, and
“Literary North Carolina”.
The typesetter is invited to
read over what he has typed to
see if he got it right this time.
His luck’s bound to change.
