Harvard Scores In Study on Sex

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Harvard should have more sex on campus than almost any other university in the country, according to a report recently issued by a Northeastern University study group.

The report states that at higher-quality institutions [such as Harvard], more students will have premarital sex than at lesser institutions.

William J. Bowers, director of the study, speculated yesterday that this disparity was due to "questioning of accepted and sometimes provincial values at the quality schools."

The report also said, however, that the unconventional, hippie-type of male is less likely to be having pre-martial relations than the rah-rah, drinking, club member type who gets "gentlemanly C's."

Jane M. DeLong, a teaching fellow in Government at Harvard who helped with the study, said the greatest constraint on sex seems to be disapproval of a student's peers. A majority of both males and females disapproves, and those who are engaged to be maried disapprove the most, the report claimed.
