  In December 1970, in response to a recognized need for more open dialogue about reproductive health on campus, a student and a faculty member started “Elephants and Butterflies,” a weekly column in the Daily Tar Heel. Created by student-activist Lana Starnes and Dr. Takey Crist, activist and Assistant Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology, the column featured their responses to anonymous letters about health and sexuality.

• Navigating the "sexual wilderness": the sexual liberation movement at the University of North Carolina, 1969-1973

  Abstract
  This thesis asks how the "sexual liberation movement," which emerged at the nexus of the sexual revolution, the New Left, and women's liberation, began, took shape, and affected students on the campus of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill between 1969 and 1973. Although today many people associate the sixties and seventies with sexual anarchy, an analysis of this movement reveals that its leaders saw it as bringing order to young people's sexual lives. Galvanized by the lack of sexual information and products available to students during the 1960s, female and male faculty members and students came together in the early 1970s to develop discourses and services that taught an ethic of responsibility and promoted gender equality. In doing so, the movement's leaders at this southern university rose to national prominence, and their innovative programs became models for hundreds of other schools throughout America.
• Sex and the Student Body: Knowledge, Equality, and the Sexual Revolution, 1960 to 1973

  Sex and the Student Body seeks to revise popular and scholarly understandings of the sexual revolution by viewing it through the prism of New Left activism on college campuses from 1960 to 1973. This upheaval in manners and mores is often remembered as a sexual free-for-all based on individual gratification. Research in university archives, campus papers, and oral history interviews, however, reveals that at the center of the sexual revolution on college campuses were sexual liberation activists who offered students a new framework for understanding their sexual and emotional relationships grounded in the principle of equality. Far from advocating sexual license, these activists responded to a changing sexual culture by linking liberation to knowledge and responsibility. Through sexual health clinics, courses, handbooks, and counseling services, a coalition of faculty and students worked together to build institutions and create a more democratic university. Inspired by the liberation movements of the 1960s, men and women joined forces to advocate for equality and reproductive justice, and they attempted to change the gender consciousness of men as well as women in order to promote sexual relationships based on mutual honesty, trust, and pleasure.

  The Human Sexuality Information and Counseling Service (HSICS) at UNC Chapel Hill was formed in October 1971.
