...washers spent two hours and 18 minutes outside the 16th floor of the Farmers Bank Building in Wilmington, passing the time waving at office girls in the building across the street. In a darkened Philadelphia building, where a federal committee to study ways of handling emergency situations was in session, its nine members solved their own by walking down nine flights to the street...
...need for ideology when shifting to noncampus activity was discussed at a meeting of the National Council of SDS in Cambridge during the first week of April. At the last national meeting in December, almost all the workshops preceding the official session had dealt with issues and problems of campus organization. In April, only one ("Curriculum Reform") concerned the university; the rest dealt with subjects like "Labor Strategy," "Middle-Class Community Organizing" and "Organizing Professions."

For boys, it may simply be a session in the gym conducted by the coach and consisting of little more than health hints or superficial biology. For girls, it may be what one educator impatiently calls the "rainy-day phys-ed-movie bit"-frequently Walt Disney's well-worn Story of Menstruation. Only fairly general physiology is taught even in more ambitious programs-known to professionals as "plumbing courses." By modern standards, such courses are hardly considered sex education...
