In addition, a display area will feature agricultural information exhibits and demonstrations of computer- ized information retrieval through the Universitel/Grassroots system.

The 10 recommendations in the report are based on the findings of the presidential working group on budget priorities (Working Group 1). This Committee of nine Deans was formed in January, 1981, to make recommendations to the President on the allocation of budgets according to the aca- demic priorities of the University.

A second working group on budget priorities was set up in January, 1982, to carry out a similar process for the non- teaching units of the University. Its final report is expected to be placed before the Committee on University Planning by the end of this year.

3 Boredom and pressure p laq ue relationships Boredom is the biggest problem in most relationships, according to Quebecs foremost sex educator. Dr. Jean-Yves Desjardins told delegates attending the human sexuality conference at Guelph that the adult public is hungry for information about sex and sexuality. Through public lectures and radio programs he and his colleague, Dr. Michel Lemieux, help people bring tenderness, intimacy and better communication to their relationships. Dr. Lonnie Barbach, a psychologist at the University of California Medical School in San Francisco and the author of four best- selling books about female sexual response, told the delegates attending "Sexual Com- munication: Improving Relationships" that sex is learned. Women and men are both handicapped by learned preconceptions about how they are supposed to act. Men and women expect their partners to be mind- readers and to know what they like or do not like about sex. Couples do not talk enough. "The sexual revolution has caused some problems," Dr. Barbach said, "because it has Keynote speakers at the human sexuality conference: Dr. Lonnie Barbach, left, and Dr. Jean - Yves Desjardins. put pressure on people to perform.
