JACKSON Kate Millet, speaking at TU, said “There’s a spectre haunting the country today, and it’s called Women’s Liberation.” Miss Millet, author of “Sexual Politics,” spoke on an array of topics related to women’s libera tion, a movement she said was “shrill, uncertain, faction-ridden” but “certain to succeed.” She thinks reproduction and socialization, “the purposes of a family,” can be done elsewhere. There is no such thing as the “liberated woman,” according to Kate Millet, one of women’s lib eration’s most outspoken activ ists. She agreed there are plent of women who are content as house wives and who don’t want to be “liberated.” She added, “You can’t coerce anybody into being liberated, or they’d scarcely be free.” ★ ★ ★ An article in The Rice Thresh er stated, “Many young men are secret conscientious objectors.” It adds that the secret is kept even from the C.O.’s. According to the article, the secret C.O.’s remain needlessly hung up on the word “religious.” The article makes a distinction between “traditional” religious convictions and <f beliefs, no mat ter how unorthodox” that func tion as religion for an individual. It states that both types of be liefs have been upheld by the Supreme Court for C.O. status.

Dr. J. E. Wiedeman, health center director, said all four phy sicians at the center reported VD cases have increased “very defi nitely” in the past year. He said most physicians feel that the advent of the birth con trol pill has caused an attitude toward “freer sex,” and that the increase in VD may possibly be attributed to this. ★ ★ ★ To the students who were will ing to argue with me about my Nov. 5 article, in which I com mented on women’s lib, I applaud you for taking a stand. So many students are apathetic. Admittedly, one or two of my statements were extreme. I think you define “manhandling” a little different than I do. I should say every woman wants to relate to a man as a woman. OK? However, I must say you were somewhat naive in your response — even though you have over come your apathy.

Of course, they involve more than bra-burning and anti-chauvinism. They also involve more than the “freedoms” you referred to in your letter. It would probably take much more time to define them. You missed the point if you failed to see the humor — or rather the sarcasm. What I was trying to reveal was the hypoc risy of a lot of women who pro fess to believe in a good thing, yet really do not practice what they preach. Most women only give lip service to the lib. These women hurt their move ment more than they help it. They are the ones who inces santly pound us males over the head with such meaningless rhetoric as “male chauvinist pig.” If the Maggies who criticized my article are so concerned and honestly feel devoted to the wom en’s lib movement, why have you not initiated a women’s rights organization at A&M? I say you are hypocrites! • Candle Shop • Bath Boutique • Mister Mart • Stationery • El Cetera Shop THE POSTERS ARE IN! • Posters • Paper Party Goods • Decorative Accessories • Gift Wrap • Gourmet Cookware • Black Lights • Enamel Ware • Pantry Full of Food • Enamel Ware • Pantry Full • Bottle Shop & Mugs • Poly Optics $e«e*>s*s THE “NOW” MARKET, FOR ‘NOW’ PEOPLE 801 Texas Ave. Bryan 822-4670 Page 2 THE BATTALION College Station, Texas Thursday, November 19,1970 Ja. \ /fiv? *;f%.
