AWS—24 Author of HUMAN SEXUALITY is SEXPO speaker James Leslie McCary, author of HUMAN SEXUALITY, was the featured speaker of the campus wide program known as SEXPO. Associated Women’s Students (AWS) was respon- sible for this program which brought together doctors, faculty, students, and members of the ministry to examine the various aspects of sex. Through symposiums, panel discussions, coffee groups, films, and literature they were able to discuss abortion, birth control, venereal disease, the moral issues involved in sex, and other topics. The organization served to promote self government and programs of specific interest to women. One such program was the Status of Women, which dealt with the college woman’s awareness of her status in today’s world. AWS also took part in the March 29 to April 12 Inter- collegiate AWS Convention in Chicago. With the theme of the convention, “Women and Men: Partners in Humanity”, they ex- amined the possibilities of equal partnership.
