A club for college virgins

Manhattan College president, Brother Thomas Scanlan, is encouraging his students to form an on-campus club for virgins in the hopes of decreasing the pressure, he believes, some students feel to engage in sexual activities.
We unfortunately missed the first story in the college's newspaper, The Quandrangle, but thankfully the paper followed up with a story on student reaction. The reporter, Kelly Shine, writes that the initial article — which ran under the headline "MC's Virgins"— caused a great deal of "buzz" on campus. But she wondered if any of her peers would be "willing to step up and say that one, they are a virgin, and two, that they want to stay one?"
No one quoted in her article "stepped up."
The article also prompted two Op-ed pieces. The writer praising Brother Scanlan explains his support for the proposal. "Students must make a statement that MC is not a place for fiends and horny college students," he writes.
The other sees the president's proposal as a step in the right direction: admitting that sex does occur on campus. It's time, he argues, to do away with a (rarely enforced) rule that prohibits unmarried students from having sex.
Virgin clubs seem to be popping up on a number of campuses. Harvard's True Love Revolution was featured in The New York Magazine earlier this year.
