Parkway College Station Introductory Scuba Gear Sale! Jan 17 - Feb 4 Contrary to popular belief the main purpose of sex is not reproduc tion; it is a unity factor. Josh Mc Dowell told a capacity crowd in Rud der Auditorium Wednesday night. McDowell is an international speaker for Campus Crusade for Christ. “Maximum Sex” was the topic of his hour and a half presenta tion sponsored by the Texas A&M Campus Crusade for Christ. “A good sex life is the result of a good relationship, not the cause of it,” McDowell said. “Sex was never meant as some thing to go out and have ... it takes years to develop into a maximum oneness with your mate.” He used anecdotes of his relationship with his wife and the relationships he had as a college stu dent to express his ideas on love, sex and marriage to the audience. McDowell said the key to a suc cessful sex relationship is not physi cal. “Put the physical in the right per spective,” he said. “The mind is the most important sex organ.” A person can experience a maxi mum love-sex-marriage relationship by having a oneness in three dimen sions: physical, psychological and spiritual, he said. Two people have to become one in each of those areas, he said. According to McDowell there are three attitudes of love. The first is the “love if’ attitude: I will love you if you do this or that. The second is a “love because of’ attitude. Love is present because of a certain quality or condition you see in someone - beauty, money or power - which results in fear and competition. Tne third attitude is “I love you, period.” “It’s almost a love in spite of,” Mc Dowell said. “A condition-less love. 5K race scheduled for Friday Josh McDowell This third type of love is spelled g-i- v-e.” McDowell outlined two reasons for waiting until after marriage to have a sexual relationship: trust and patience. McDowell said those qual ities can develop in a relationship only if a person can learn control re garding their sex life. How far should you go? McDow ell said he doesn’t set a standard be cause people would immediately go to the standard and then nothing would be left. 20% off everything in the reef dive dept, at Tri State Sports Center.

Vest Reg. 169 95 129 87 TRI-STATE SPORTS CENTER 2023 Texas Ave., Bryan Townshire Shopping Center 779-8776 The switch from a Prime com puter system to an IBM 43-61 com puter system in the College of Busi ness Administration is just one step in a plan to provide students with “real world” computer experience. John Dinkel, associate dean of business administration, said the col lege chose the IBM computer be cause of the brand’s wide-spread use. The change will create a real- world working atmosphere for stu dents, Dinkel said. Though the system will be benefi cial to business students in the long run, the switch to the new computer is displacing students this semester. “This is a major change in the sys tem,” Dinkel said. “Almost all sys tems changes are traumatic in the sense that it causes disruption. The new system has been up and run ning for less than a month now. This is a transition period.” There is a high demand for com puter time among the 2,400 students in the Colleere of Business Adminis- College tration who are “heavy users” of computers, Dinkel said. “Heavy users” include students enrolled in classes such as Business Analysis 217, 317, 337 and 447, he said. Another temporary problem with the new system is a shortage of stor age space in the computer. A device that will increase storage space will be added to the system later in the semester. Until then the key to the problem is management, Dinkel said. The adoption of the IBM 43-61 is just one step in plans to upgrade the college’s computer systems. The ulti mate plan is to replace computer ter minals with microcomputers, Dinkel said. Replacing the terminals will re duce the demands on the main frame computer substantially be cause the microcomputers are intel ligent work stations, Dinkel said. Tne microcomputers are termed “intelligent” because they will work independent of the main frame, he said. Up to 128 users can work with the new IBM computer simultaneously. Depending on the computer envi ronment they desire, instructors choose to have their students work with the Amdahl system (WYL- BUR), the IBM system or the col lege’s 150 microcomputers, Dinkel said. “More and more instructors are using microcomputers,” Dinkel said. “If the capacity of the microcomput ers is adequate, students can use it and never even need the main frame. With a few key strokes, they can pass through tne microcom puter and enter the world of the main frame.
