ressure Related‘ To Sex

San‘Francisco (ENS—CUP) A meteorologist here reported last week that he's found a coorelation between the rate of human sexual activity and the weather. Gordon Barnes says a two—year study of sexual behavior conducted at a northeastern university rev— ealed the surprising fact that December and January are the sexiest months of the year——based on the rate of sexual activity. The resear- chers concluded that the explanation probably had something to do with long, cold winter nights. But there's another explanation says Barnes. He found that whenever the rate of sexual activity went up, the barometer went down.In other words, barometric read— ‘ings of 29.90‘or below seemed to correspond with reports

of increased bedroom activ— ity.

Barnes says the explan— ation may lie inthe fact that _low baromiter readings indi— cate storm centres, with reduced atmospheric pressure. High readings,on the other hand, indicate dense air that could tighten the muscles and result in tension or anxiety.

Unemployment

For _

Ottawa (CUP) Over 17 thousand Canadian students between the ages of 20 and 24 were still unemployed in July of this year, compared to 8 thousand a year ago, according to the latest Labour Survey released by Statistics Canada.

In July of 1974, the unemployment rate for per— sons in this age bracket in- tending to return to school was 4.2 per cent. The compar— able 1975 survey shows 8.1 per cent, an increase of 95 per cent.

The July figures show an improvement over the sit— uation in the month of June. During that month 24 thou- sand students were unemployed giving an unemployment rate of 12.6 per cent, up 66 per cent from June of 1974.

But although the rate fell for July, as expected, the continued high rate of unempldyment indicates that the job market for those re- turning to school did not firm up in the latter months of the summer as in past. years. I _ As well, it is unclear

week are considered as em— ployed even through the dur- ation of the job may be less than a couple of hours. According to Canada Man- power officials interviewed during the summer, not only were jobs harder to find this past summer, but they were generally'lower paying and for shorter periods of time.

Profit 76=

Washington (ENS-CUP) Senator William Proxmire charged that the Department of Defense is pushing forward iwth a plan called "Profit 76" which he says constitutes a "massive give-away" of tax dollars to defense contractors.‘

The Wisconsin Senator released copies of a defense department memo outlining the "Profit 76" objectives. Primarily those objectives are to vastly reduce govern— ment control and regulation of Pentagon —contracted bus— iness, and to increase the profitability oftthe weapons industries."

The plan calls for redu- cing government audits of companies doing business with

Which means that the 8,000 students officially listed as unemployed may just be the "tip of the iceberg". The number of students who. were unable to save enough money from summer employment to make ends meet during the academic year must be much larger than the official‘ number.

the Pentagon, diluting gover— nment regulation, and reliev- ing contractors of meeting many current accounting stan— dards. ' Proxmire termed the Pen— tagon plan the "biggest rip- off that the taxpayers have ever suffered." He said that the Pentagon objectives "a- mount to working to give the contractors more money, to give it to them faster, and to remove or emasculate the few standards that regulate how this money is spent." Proxmire said that de- fense contracts are already "immensely lucrative," and, that "Profit 76 plans would’ constitute wholly unjustifed profiteering".*' 7 '
