Sex therapist Dr. Ruth
to speak in Memorial Hall
By JENNIFER KELLER
Staff Writer
Ruth Westheimer, sex therapist and
host of the unusual and popular radio
call-in program, "Sexually Speaking," is
coming to UNC. Every Sunday night on
Ne York City's WYNY, the 53-year-old
grandmother, who has a master's in
sociology from The New School in New
York City, says she answers hundreds of
calls, hoping to "educate, based on scien
tific information and oring sexual literacy
to people who have sexual problems and
wouldn't otherwise discuss them with
anyone."
Dr. Ruth, as she is affectionately called
by her listeners, stands 4-foot-7 and has a
reassuring voice with a strong German ac
cent. In general, she says she does not
. believe in good sex without love, does not
consider her blunt, open advice immoral
and is a fanatic in favor of birth control.
"You absolutely can't tell when people
are ready for sex. A person has to know
that for himself. I tell them to listen to
their inner voice," she said. Westheimer,
who trained as a sex therapist at N.Y.
Hospital-Cornell Medical Center, is often
asked kinky or joke questions but always
answers them seriously. "Someone out
there might have that very question but is
too shy to ask," she said.
Westheimer views legalized abortion as
a necessity, especially in cases of birth con
trol failure. "I'm very upset, however,
when it is considered as birth control,"
she said. About homosexuality she said,
"Nothing is normal or abnormal. We
don't have the answers about the reasons
for homosexuality; they will come only
with plenty of research."
She is insistent in her automatic oppo
sition to rape, incest, pedophilia (sex with
children) and sado-masochism.
She averages 600 calls per show, most
of them relationship or sex questions.
y Westheimer tells the few objecting callers
to turn the radio dial and begins each
show with a disclaimer that the program
may be "sexually explicit and not suited
for evervone."
Carolina Indian Circle
backs Exum, Manuel
By JANET OLSON
Staff Writer
The Caxoiixii Indian Circle; officially v
endorsed James Exum for student body
president and Christine Manuel for Daily
Tar Heel editor at a meeting Wednesday
evening.
The CIC endorsed both candidates be
cause each has shown interest in the CIC
and because the group believes these can
didates will best benefit the entire student
body, said Kerry Bird, CIC president at
the time of the endorsements.
According to Bird, Exum worked
directly with the CIC while a member of
the Campus Governing Council Finance
Committee. Exum helped the group pre
pare its budget and showed members the
proper channels for passing funds through
the CGC, Bird said.
Due to Exum's contact with the CIC,
Bird said the group feels he understands
the needs of the University's American
Indian population.
"He is aware of some of the problems
we face on campus that are due to the
lack of Indians on campus," Bird said.
"And we know pretty much how James
stands toward us."
Bird said the ClC also received help
from Manuel last semester when, as state
and national editor, she helped the group
publish Indian Heritage Week in the
t DTH. The CIC is confident that, if
elected, Manuel will continue this effort
to cover CIC activities, he said.

Dr. Ruth Westheimer
Westheimer said she does not believe
religion should necessarily dictate one's
sexual mores, but adds that those brought
up in religious tradition and taught "no
sex before marriage" should be sup
ported, not pressured.
Westheimer currently juggles her radio
show, (which has expanded to Los
Angeles), a seminar that she teaches at
Cornell University and a private practice.
She also tries to speak once a week at col
lege campuses all over America and has
often appeared on The Tonight Show and
Late Night With David Letterman.
. Married to an engineer and a mother of
two, Westheimer said she enjoys her
"semi-celebrity and cult figure" status.
"It is easy to work hard when you love
what you do." Westheimer will speak at 8
p.m. tonight in Memorial Hall. Questions
will be read from index cards and taken
from the floor.
She said she is sometimes embarrassed
by questions but always answers honestly
and often explicitly. "Sometimes I blush,
and then I smile. Every time I talk at a
college campus, I learn something new."
In addition, the CIC favors Manuel's
support for a student fee increase and her
desire to return -the Campus Calendar to
daily "publication in thefDTH, Bird said.
Most importantly, Bird said, the CIC
believes that Exum's experience on the
CGC and the Finance Committee and
Manuel's experience at both the DTH
and the Charlotte Observer will be ad
vantageous to the student body.
"We support these candidates whole
heartedly," Bird said.
The CIC will not endorse candidates
for any other office, Bird said, because
those offices are not of particular interest
to the group.

Tuesday,
Sports Club Council backs
Conner, Parker Hiday
By BEN PERKOWSKI
SUff Wriler
The Sports Club Council, which is
comprised of 20 clubs representing over
600 students, Monday endorsed Will
Conner for Carolina Athletic Association
president, Paul Parker for Student Body
President and Jeff Hiday for Daily Tar
Heel editor.
Crista Herbert, president of the Sports
Club Council, said the candidates were
chosen through a consensus of 11 sports
club presidents after a candidates forum
Sunday night. ."We chose those can
didates that we felt would help us in our
goals to improve conditions for athletics
for the general student body," she said.
Herbert said the SCC endorsed Conner
for CAA because they believed he was
committed to improving conditions for
club sports, as well as IM and field sports.
"He was the one candidate willing to
work for more field space for these
sports," she said.
Herbert explained that more field space
was the main priority of SCC because of
the current over-crowding. "Right now
10 club sports and the IM-REC program
share Ehringhaus Field, and it's not
always open," she said.
Herbert added that the SCC felt that as
CAA president Conner would provide a
channel between the SCC and the ad
ministration. "He would be more than
just someone to plan Homecoming," she
said.
Herbert said the SCC endorsed Hiday
for DTH editor because they were im

February 7, 1984The Daily Tar Heel3
pressed with his commitment to pro
viding more coverage for non-revenue
sports, the IM-REC program and club
sports. "We felt that as a university paper
the DTH should cover sports activities in
volving trje general student body,"
Herbert explained.
The SCC endorsed Parker for Student
Body President because "we felt he
would really work toward specific pro
jects and irt turn help us work toward our
projects, especially our future goal of
more fields," Herbert said.
Herbert kaid that Parker indicated he
would try (to find fields that had hot
already been earmarked, such as Car
michael Held, which is only used for the
IM program. "However, we don't want
to get into the Question of who has I
priority-IM or club sports," she said.
"It's a common sight to see people
waiting for fields, even late at night," she
said, "It's a big problem now, and it's
only going to get worse."
Herbert j added the SCC also liked
Parker's jnterest in upgrading the
facilities for water sports at University
Lake. , .
Ann Stokes, president of the Sailing
Club, said the current facilities were not
adequate and the club would hopefully
move out to Jordan Lake in the future.
Herbert, a junior from Harvard,
Mass., concluded that these three can
didates were endorsed "because we feel
they will be effective leaders and help us ,
in our goals and thus benefit the whole
student body."
