Show Page A4 THE HERALD, Provo, Utah, Saturday, August 24, 1991 Facts and Feelings9 draws mixed reviews 'Darkness' gets nod as week's top pick LOGAN (AP) Researchers at Utah State University have completed a three-yea- r, $500,000 project to design a teen pregnancy prevention program. It's got nearly everything: biology, psychology, even romance. .Critics say there's just one problem. Beyond advice to say "no to sex, there's not a word about birth control. Tfle project, called "Facts and Feelings," is the result of a grant from the National Institutes of Health's Adolescent Family Life Act, which funds sex education programs with the proviso that education and abstinence not birth control are to be counseled. "One of the conditions of the grant was not to even mention birth control," said Tom Lee, one of three professors of family and human development who devised the program. This fall, the program will be sent to 3,500 extension agents of land grant schools like USU across the country. They'll make it to families, churches and public libraries. At least one family planning specialist says the project is typical of programs that offer information about sexuality but don't give the whole picture. "More and more we see pregnancies occurring in more and more younger girls maybe because they are not educated," said Mary Carlson of Planned Parenthood of Utah. "But even are certainly ex- to a great deal of sex information and sex." Lee, however, maintains that the six videotapes that comprise the program give plenty to think about. Viewers aged 10 to 14 are given the facts: Nearly 3,000 nationwide get pregnant every day, and sexually transmitted diseases not only are a scourge to health but a leading cause of infertility. videos Two of the anatomiand detail reproduction cal changes during puberty.

Abstinence is emphasized in a tape titled "Choices," which comes the closest to broaching the subject of birth control. "While it's true pregnancy can sometimes be prevented, abstinence is the only way to completely avoid the risk of pregnancy," says the female narrator. Carlson, who reviewed the package of videotapes, said that advice simply isn't good enough. "We reject the idea that you can't tell them about contraceptives," she said.

The lines within the city were installed in 1962 and were planned for a period which has come and gone. 20-ye- ar The mayor and the council agreed with his concern and said a study would begin to look at replacing the lines and cost of the project. The council also considered annexing property towards Payson and intersecting a new county belt loop that is in the planning people. The war on drugs in America has been going on for are nearly 70 years, and not winning. If anything, the problem is worse than ever, and has reached epidemic levels in this nation.
