0 Page 2 THE BATTALION College Station, Texas Thursday, September 24, 1964 There is an old saying, “It takes two to tango.” True enough. But how does the other half live ? What does the other half think ? These are the questions that are answered — by the other half itself — in “Sex and the College Girl” by Gael Greene. Miss Greene does not seek to judge, to make a boxscore of right vs. wrong, but rather lets the coeds answer for themselves. The attitude toward sex on today’s campus has changed con siderably since mother’s coed days and with the new outlook(s) comes new problems, new deci sions. All this is broken down into 10 categories — a chapter for each: 1. Even Nice Girls; 2. Col lege: Challenge to Chastity; 3. Geography of the Sex Revolu tion; 4. To Each Her Own Morality; 5. A New Style of Chastity; 6. Sex as Hobby, Ob session, Part-time Profession; 7. The Men — And Boys — In Her Life; 8. Birth Control: The Numbers Game; 9. Babies and Abortions, and 10. Now, What Were You Saying, Miss Sarah Blanding. The author’s survey must be the most complete one of its kind, for she interviewed 614 students from 102 colleges and universities in every geographical section of the nation. She ques tioned students at church schools, state schools, private schools. She printed all sides of the vari ous arguments — not just one or two. She took the answers for what they were worth, not for simply what was said. (As Miss Greene noted, her approach was kid-gloved.) She did research. But perhaps most important, she told the story in college lingo. The results were startling. As the author said, “What these girls had to say may not be what their parents or educators or religi ous leaders would like to hear.” “Sex and the College Girl” does much more than give one person’s ideas, theories or beliefs. It gives 614 opinions. It is not the scratch - your-head-till-you-know- what-it-means type book. It is easily understood, because it is written as today’s collegians and collegiettes speak. And it is al most entirely anecdotal. Yet at the same time, it is a book that produces understanding of today’s coed. What makes her tick? What makes one student’s ticker tick different from an other’s ticker ? Why do some girls prefer bed partners before marriage, while others believe sex only after marriage is “right?” Miss Greene doesn’t “write down” to the adolescent, for this is not a book for adolescents or for adolescent minds. But she doesn’t try to go over the heads of Joe College or Betty Coed, either. She shoots straight from the hip — the same way her interviewees responded. But it is not limited to col legiate appeal. Parents who do care about their children, who do want to understand them, who do want to help them, will also find the book worth reading. Louisville Sticks Uncle Sam With An $800 Parking Ticket LOUISVILLE, Ky. <A>> _ How do you make the U. S. govern ment pay for a parking ticket? That’s an $800 question, the City of Louisville would like to have answered soon. In the last year, it has slapped 200 parking tickets on the autos of Army, Navy and Marine Corps recruiters whose offices are in the federal building. They use government cars but all three services say the gov ernment doesn’t budget any money for parking — or for parking tickets. “If the men put a nickel in the meter it’s out of their own pock et,” says Lt. George Tsarnas of the Army Recruiting Service. “We don’t have any funds a- . vailable for this purpose.” The Marines, speaking through Maj. Leonard Wood, take the position that “our vehicles are as much a part of a federal agency as post office trucks. “When we pay a municipal au thority, every taxpayer is pay ing.” Lt. Com. Robert McLaughlin, the Navy recruiter, said he never has been approached by police about any parking prob lem. AGGIE SPECIAL Served 4 to 10 p. m.

For most taxpayers the pressure will be applied clos er to home. And the chances are that one way or another most will pay as much, if not more, in taxes than this year. Both political parties are promising some more federal tax cuts. In Washington the ques tion will be what taxes and how much. But at many a state capital and city hall across the nation the search will be pressed still harder for more kinds of taxes, or heftier rates, or more hand outs from the federal govern ment, or more borrowing.
