Hurley said the positive attituil: and eagerness of the class can bereii forcing. ■' ■ % How does Hurley handle such a delicate subject and keep his students interested and entertained? “You may think you’ve cornered the market on the subject,” she said, “but the biology is important. Curington said the one bothers him about the class is the p pie who treat the class as a joke. “I may tell my share of dirty jot* | with the guys, but I take this di seriously,” he said. “Dr. Hurley puts it all in a way that you can’t get embarrassed,” said senior Barry Roberson. “He even makes it entertaining. He’s not ashamed of anything, and he tells it like it’s a normal subject.” , . 7 wish it could be mandatory. No mat ter how old you are, you can always learn more.” Hurley said, “The most difficult part of teaching the class is when I know there’s a large variety of opin ions out there, and I don’t want to offend anyone.” Hurley said he has seen a paradox in high school sex education. In rural areas where students often get mar ried straight out of high school, there is little or no sex education, he said. In major cities, where students usualy move on to college and career first, there are courses offered. Curington also said the classwoil | be even more effective if there smaller sections of maybe 30 od people. But in spite of the large classroot Curington said Hurley does ape job with what he’s got to work wilt Senior Dale Curington said, “The best part of the class are the lectures, because they make it fun to go to class.” Hurley*said he had no formal sex education, but his doctorate work in health education and several work shops since starting to teach the class 10 years ago have taught him a lot. Hurley said his evaluations been consistently positive. Then j spouses have ranged from“ThisdX ought to be required” to “I likell* way you deal with such adelicatesul' ject,” he said. Hurley takes an active and ani mated role in each lecture, often fir ing up his lectures with skits and group projects. Hurley said he developed his con temporary attitude toward sex edu cation by working with young people. Hurley said he has gottenposili' 1 feedback f rom students who back after a few years to tell himb they have used the informatid Many also recommend the dass friends. Roberson said the most entertain ing skit so far was about the hor mones and ovulation cycle of the female before pregnancy. Students played the parts of hor mones, with the entire dass acting as an ovary. Each student was a follicle, and only one, “the follicle of the month,” was chosen to produce the egg- “I spent 13 summers at a camp for mostly disturbed youth, and I got a real tolerance for behaviors,” Hurley said. He also met his wife there, and decided she would make a good mother when he saw the way she worked with children. Hurley’s offer of being a\ outside of class is genuine, he sap, and many students take advan it. He said he has had students con* to him for a variety of reasons,® eluding advice about seriousperso® problems. After the student-hormones did their work, Hurley suddenly looked out the classroom door and yelled, “Oh my gosh, millions and millions of sperm are heading this way!” She got her chance soon after they were married when she had her first of her sets of twins. Her “case” is mentioned in one of Hurley’s lec tures on reproduction. Hurley said, with mock-seriousness, that all women who are double ovulators (able to produce twins) should be marked on the forehead. Religious beliefs haven’t conflict' with his teaching human sexual®' Hurley said, mainly because heco! siders sex a relationship like a«' other interpersonal relationship. As in other lectures, Roberson said, Hurley gave the class laughs and a little more understanding. Does Hurley ham it up outside of class, too? He says it’s part of his per sonality, but that it mainly comes from the fact that he can see humor in a lot of things. “It’s a gift, and it’s up to thein^ vidual and his beliefs how it is tot* used,” he said. Roberson said he is impressed# the fact that Hurley communicat*! well with his dass. Hurley said he uses the skits as a different way to present an intricate “There are days when the clas sroom is the last place I want to be,” “He knows your name, and I* knows you’re there,” he said. F son said the main idea he’s from Hurley’s class is that ignorai® 1 is never the answer. JOHN B. GENERAL MARKE
