WHO SAYS COLLEGE MEN DON'T LEARN ABOUT SEX

SEX HISTORIES OF AMERICAN COLLEGE MEN. Drs. Phyllis & Eberhard Kronhausen. Ballantine Books. 85 cents. Reviewed by Jack Parrish.

As all well-informed people know, though we speak of ourselves as so emancipated sexually as compared to the Victorians, in reality we're no thing of the sort. The so-called eman cipation is of the mind alone and sole ly a matter of professed intellectual beliefs. Underneath, our emotional attitudes are almost exactly those of our forbears.
