r s a w i n s f t u f i i n IGHTYFOUR percent of E Melbourne university students are for the first time now walking about with photos on their union cards. Why? First, there were the ludicrous actions of the Melbourne Students Representative Council executive. The SRC had a policy of opposi tion to photos which was reaffirm ed late last year. The policy stated that if the administration ever tried to introduce photos there would be a strong campaign against them. Instead o f mounting such a campaign, the executive of the SRC agreed to the compromise: a compromise which, in the end, proved ridiculous. It was agreed that photos would be introduced, but that they would be optional: students could decide for themselves. Stiff chance. The administration not only failed to inform students adequately of the optionality of From the Melbourne university social work C oun ter h a n d b o o k photos, but also tried every ploy imaginable to convince enrolling students to have photos taken.

THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS - march 26-april 1, 1974— Page 23 I have orgasms that are not limited in feeling to your genital area alone, but that fill your entire body and psyche; orgasms that will leave you nourished and fulfilled as never before; orgasms which are not forced in any way, but which are a natural body event. In fact, as you practise these exercises, you may come to see that previously you attained an orgasm by pushing on yourself, and that this very pushing blocked any intensity in the orgasm which resulted. These exercises dont pretend to be therapy or substitute for therapy. They are an eclectic collection of useful tools; what holds them together is that they work.

But, in order to go along with an touch with excitement, tension and other body cally and physically — and in the enjoyment beyond the scope of these remarks and should orgasm, you have to know how to set up the feelings which until now you may not have be brought to the attention of a therapist. right conditions.
