hannd IjHherringlon, a business ma-
ars,weVor from Wichita Falls, and
n audienHhelle Weishaar, an account-
“ our st; ng major from Converse, were
others sinipjointed last year by the class
iffer.ilimHcers to head tlie class gift
committee and were reap
pointed this year.
Cherrington says members of
the committee have talked to
various student organizations,
former students and faculty
members about class gift possi
bilities.
“All those different people
have different viewpoints,”
Cherrington says. “We tried to
get a lot of ideas that way.”
An advisory board has also
been established to help the
class through next year. The
board consists of prominent
businessmen from San Antonio,
Houston and Dallas, select
members of the Class of ’85 and
Dr. John Koldus, vice president
for student services. The board
advises the class officers on ev
erything from managerial skills
to fund raising to legal matters.
Allen says the board was not
set up strictly for advice on class
gift, but they have made many
suggestions regarding it.
Cherrington says the board
has already discussed many
ideas for the gift, but more
ideas are wanted before a deci
sion is made. But, he says ideas
should meet the committee’s
goals.
“We have two main goals,” he
says. “Usefulness to the student
body or to the students, and the
second goal being visibility.
Cherrington says the com
mittee is open-minded about
ideas for the gift, but usefulness
to the University is their main
priority.
“Usefulness to the student
body, or future student bodies,
is what we are looking at, and
that is what we want it to be,” he
“Usefulness lo the slu-
denL body, or future
student bodies, is what
we are looking at, and
that is what we want it
to be. We don't want
just another mon
ument or whatever. ”
says. “We don’t want just an
other monument or whatever.”
Allen says: “The University
has already expressed that they
don’t need too many more of
those things.”
Cherrington says he will be
researching some of the ideas
this summer, but most of the
work will be done next fall, and
he needs help from the class.
“The class is going to play a
part at the first meeting after
school starts next year,” he says.
Allen says there will be a class
meeting on Wednesday, Sept. 5.

half of black women in the same
age bracket.
If current trends continue,
Dr. Sarrel said, many brides will
be older when they first marry.
Many already will be mothers.
“Even now,” she said, “one in
eight white women and two out
of three black women having
their first baby are unmarried.”
Other glimpses from her
crystal ball:
— Reasons for marrying in
the future, as now, for most
couples will be companionship,
regularity of sexual contact and
emotional support. “These per
sonal bonds, as opposed to
bonds for survival and eco
nomic necessity, are and will
continue to be fragile.”
— Divorce, because it is be
coming so widespread, soon will
be normative. “Reaction to this
growing trend doesn’t call for
handwringing and cries of so
cietal dissolution. Instead we
need effective marital counsel
ing, pre- and post-divorce coun
seling, help for couples trying
to create new families.”
— The trend to freedom of
choice for mutually consenting
adults will continue. Eventually
there will equal rights and free
doms for people who are homo
sexual or whose sexuality is in
some way different from tradi
tional norms.
Dr. Sarrel told fellow profes
sionals that to cope with adult
sexual relationships in the fu
ture they must understand that
sexuality continues to evolve
and change over a lifetime.
“Sexual learning doesn’t stop
at the end of ninth grade, or
even at marriage,” she said.
Experts reporting on adoles
cence and aging included Dr.
Michael A. Carrera, professor
at Hunter College School of
Health Sciences and past SIE-
CUS chairman Carrera said
preoccupation with research
centering on adolescent inter
course experiences and contra
ceptive practices is faulty.
He urged fellow profession
als to curb preoccupations with
the genital sexual expression of
young people, saying if they do
they quickly will learn what it
truly means to be a typical, ordi
nary adolescent.
The reconceptualized view
will show the sexuality experts
that the majority of young peo
ple have compelling feelings,
concerns, and ideas about their
roles and experiences in family,
society and the future.
“They are concerned about
race, religion, emplqyment,
school performance, and what
their near and long-term future
will be like in a world filled with
conflict and tension,” Carrera
said.
“Add to these dimensions
their natural erotic interests
and expression and we have a
more integrated vision of what
young people are like, and how
we need to view them in the
1980s and beyond.

He bought a Cripple Creek Condominium. Now he’s
enjoying the tax advantages of ownership-he’s
building equity and he’ll have prime rental property
after I’ve graduated. That’s important to my dad.
But, I’m interested in the amenities Cripple Creek
offers-microwave ovens, automatic icemakers, large
walk-in closets, tennis courts, a swimming pool, and
a hot tub. And Cripple Creek is located in the heart of
student living, close to restaurants, shopping, clubs,
banking facilities, and it’s right on the shuttle bus
route. Living at Cripple Creek says that I have style
and my dad has a solid investment. My college
education will reap benefits for both of us.
Cripple Creek Condominums start at $39,950.

The meeting will give members
of the Class of ’85 an opportu
nity to make suggestions for
their class gift.
“We’ll ask people from the
audience,” Allen says. “We’ll in
vite them through a Battalion
ad and ask them to send in their
request if they can’t make the
meeting.
“Hopefully we will get a more
university-wide approach.”
Cherrington says the class
gift will probably be decided by
February, even though it is not
formally announced until Par
ent’s Weekend.
“The final decision is going
to be up to the chairmen of the
Class of ’85 and the officers,” he
says. “We are going to be con
sulting with Dr. Koldus and our
advisory council.”
Just as important as the gift
itself, a monetary goal for the
class is also being determined.
“We’ve talked about
$85,000,” Cherrington says.
Though that may seem like a
lot of money, Cherrington in
sists that it, and more, can be
raised.
The Class of ’85 has about
9,000 members.
“If we get an average of $10
from every student, that’s
$90,000 right there,” Cherring-
lon says. “That is not counting
any of the revenues that we get
from Ring Dance, or Senior
Weekend, or Howdy Dance or
any of our activities for next
year.”
“We’re saying $100,000 is not
necessarily inflated, but it is not
necessarily conservative either,”
Cherrington says.
He says the committee has
several ideas for fund-raising.
but, other than the traditional
senior class activities, none have
been approved.
“Every person will not be in
volved with the gift, but I hope
we’re giving them a chance to,”
Allen says. “That’s all you can
do.”
“Our biggest gift to the Class
of ’85 is to let them have input
in it.”
