In Post-Marital Relations,
‘Anything Goes’—Bowman
By BOB SOLOVEY
Battalion Editorial Columnist
“In marriage, anything that a
couple does that moves toward
a satisfying experience is good
if done privately and with mutual
consent.”
These were comforting words
to some ears as Dr. Henry Bow
man, University of Texas sociolo
gist, spoke at the fourth of five
Marriage Forums Tuesday night
in the YMCA.
Speaking on “Sex in Human
Relationships—Marital,” Bowman
said sex is both the cause and
effect of other problems.
“COUPLES USE SEX as a
hook on which to hang other
problems. The less successful sex
is, the more conspicuous it be
comes to a couple and the more
is said about it.”
Bowman explained that inter
course is both biological and cre
ative and in both sexes there is
a large amount of ego involve
ment.
RIDE OF YOUR LIFE
Cyclist Nicolas Surovy gives Sam Groom the ride of his
life in the movie “For Pete’s Sake.” The movie is being
sponsored at the Campus Theater by the Fellowship of
Christian Athletes.
“Sexual response in a man is
like building a fire with dry wood,
matches and paper, whereas in
the female it is like building a
fire in the rain,” he added.
Bowman noted that a woman's
responsiveness builds slowly and
prior to sex a woman wants a
man to be tender and loving,
making her aware that he needs
her and that he cares.
HE NOTED during the so-
called “after-glow” period, a
woman needs even more love and
reassurance.
“A man may feel overwhelming
sleepiness but if he goes to sleep
then, he hasn’t missed the boat;
he doesn’t even know the boat
exists,” Bowman said.
“We make too much of tech
nique. I saw a book which showed
426 different postures. Instead of
love being an adventure, a free
expression of love and affection,
it became an engineering prob
lem.”
BOWMAN SAID there are four
ingredients which contribute to
sexual adjustment: time, learn
ing, a healthy attitude, and a
will to succeed.
He said one of the most im
portant adjustments comes on the
wedding night.
Men seem to have the inborn
desire to see unclothed women,
but women see little in seeing
unclothed men, he said.
“On the wedding night girls
frequently have inhibitions about
bodily exposure, even in front
of their husbands.
“Couples need time to work
out an adjustment. You can’t ex
perience marriage in 24 hours,”
he said.
Bowman noted that there was
a fear of initial intercourse
among many women, because of
superstition, reports of other cul
tures or because of their own
anatomy.
He said such uncertainty can
be eliminated if the prospective
Dr. William C. Gibbons and Dr.
William R. Smith have been
named heads of Texas A&M’s
new Political Science and Psy
chology Departments, announced
Liberal Arts Dean Frank W. R.
Hubert.
Dean Hubert said formation of
the two new departments is the

“We have a very strong growth
pattern in each of these fields,”
the dean noted, “and with its
identity as a separate depart

grow, both in number of students
and scope of program.”
DR. GIBBONS, 41, is currently
director of the Agency for Inter
national Development’s (AID)
Congressional liaison staff in
Washington, D. C. His A&M
appointment is effective April 1.
During the past 12 years, he

The only state-owned hotel in
Texas, where one could “get a
nice, cool room and meals at
very moderate cost,” was the
Aggieland Inn, once located be
tween Sbisa Dining Hall and the
University Hospital.
Razed and replaced by a park
ing lot almost three years ago,
the Inn was built in 1925 “as a
hotel for the use of guests of
the college, containing 36 sleeping
rooms with baths, a large dining
room and a separated cafeteria
with kitchen and service equip
ment.”
The $60,000 structure, with its
white stucco walls and red Span
ish tile roof, served as the only
campus hotel until it yielded its
business in 1955 to the Memorial
Student Center.
FROM 1950-1960, the Aggie
land Inn building served as head
quarters for Basic Division, fore
runner to the A&M Counseling
and Testing Center presently lo
cated in the Academic Building.
Basic Division, structured to
place all freshmen then living
in Easterwood Airport facilities
under one academic dean, also
held classes in the ground floor
of the Inn.
through the third floor,” Miss
Hilda Pachall, psychometrist for
the counseling and testing center,
said.
“THE INN was beginning to
fall part,” she added. “I can re
member putting coffee cans
around the floor to catch the
rainwater as it dripped from the
ceiling.”
Crow recalled that when the
wrecking crews took charge of
the building in the summer of
1965, they wasted little time.
“They used a big wrecking ball
which left quick and lasting im
pressions on the Inn’s walls,” he
said.

Ulrich Crow, assistant profes

Department, said he remembered
when the Inn served as a bus
station.
“BEFORE THE MSC was com
pleted,” he added, “the Inn also
had a fine little coffee shop.”
“Around 1950, the porch on the
Inn was enclosed to provide more
office space,” Dr. William J.
Dobson, professor of biological
science, recalled.
“Although there was lots of
storage space in the upper two
floors, the building was really
not suited to the needs of the
counseling and testing center,”
he said.
Nevertheless, the center staff,
along with the staff of the
foreign student advisor, remained
until June 1965.
“The building was finally con

$300,000 Research Computer
Given To A&M Meteorologists
Texas A&M has been presented
a $300,000 analog computer
which is probably the largest of
its kind on any American campus.

—Adv.
The award was made by Com
puter Systems Incorporated of
Ft. Washington, Pa., from which
A&M has rented most of the
equipment since 1963.
The machine has been used by
A&M for research in weather
modeling for the Army Elec
tronics Command and the Na
tional Science Foundation.
Dr. William Clayton of the De
partment of Meteorology said the
computer will continue to be used
for weather modeling and also
for meteorological studies con
nected with Project THEMIS,
supported by the Department of
Defense.
The original installation was
four consoles of about 70 ampli
fiers each. A&M added another
console and supporting equip
ment, so that the facility now
boasts approximately 400 ampli
fiers.
An analog computer uses phys
ical quantities as analogies to
variables being solved, whereas
a digital computer uses numbers,
Dr. Clayton explained.
One advantage of an analog
computer in weather studies is
that in this type of problem, it
can handle a number of variables
more rapidly, he added.
The computer is particularly
adept at high-speed repetitive op
erations, Clayton continued.
Officially termed a CSI 5800
DYSTAC, the facility is used
both for research and teaching
at A&M.
Auxiliary equipment includes
a digital print-out system, digit

“The male must be patient and
tender if the female is to avoid
discomfort, and if sex is going
to be more than just an animal
act,” Bowman said.
Discussing what he called peri
odicity, Bowman said a woman
usually goes through a monthly
mood cycle.
“At times a woman may be
very affectionate, while during
one or two days a month she may
be depressed, angry, touchy and
sometimes a little cruel. This is
perfectly natural and normal.
“A husband should realize this
and not feel rejected. A woman
is what she is over the entire
month, not just a few days,” he
said.
“A man should know that the
degree he contributes to his wife’s
happiness is the degree to which
he receives happiness.”

Trip To West Point Proposed
By MIKE FLAKE
Battalion Feature Editor
A trip to West Point in 1969
by the class of 1970 seems to be
a predominant issue among the
candidates for presidency of the
Junior Class.
John R. Gingrich, an electrical
engineering major from Waco
and member of the Corps of
Cadets, said:
“My main idea, as a platform,
is to see our class travel enmasse
to the Aggie football game at
West Point. I hope to be able to
arrange hotels in which to stay
while we’re there, as well as some
activities before and after the
game. I hope we can pull a few
strings and arrange some form
of transportation for the entire
class.”
GINGRICH IS the engineering
sophomore representative in the
Student Senate. He is also on the
Traffic Appeals Panel.
Other points in his platform:
“I would like to see the estab
lishment of a Junior Weekend,
having more activities for the
class as a whole than just the
Ball,” Gingrich said.
Albert J. Reinert, also in the
Corps of Cadets, is a second can
didate.
REINERT is currently Finance
Chairman in the Memorial Stu
dent Center Council Directorate
and a vice-chairman of the Stu
dent Conference on National Af
fairs.
“I think we should have a re
view of the concessions system
and concession privileges on cam
pus,” Reinert said.
Reinert said the Junior Class
this year lost money because of
poor attendence at its activities.
“I think our class needs an ex
pansion in communications so that
this will not happen to us. I’d
like to see a large attendence
next year at all our activities.
Collier R. Watson, an agricul
tural economics major from Cole
man, is a third candidate. He is
a member of the SCONA Pub
licity Committee, and the Cadet
Corps.
“I am a pledge in Alpha Zeta,
a national agricultural honor so
ciety,’ 7 Watson added.
Bryan Building & Loan
Association, Your Sav
ings Center, since 1919.
BB SuZ,
-Adv.
WATSON includes three main
items on his platform:
“I would like to see our class
make a contribution to some
worthy group such as a local or
phanage or the establishment of
a scholarship fund.”
“I think this would get both
the class and the school much
favorable publicity,” Watson said.
His third point was to push for
a class trip to the West Point-
Texas A&M football game at
West Point in 1970.
Allen D. Janacek, a fourth can
didate for the presidency, is a
Mechanical Engineering major
from Baytown.
“Although I’m not in any cer
tain office right now, I would
like to serve my class as presi
dent,” he said.
“I would like to improve the
class and leave a good name and
reputation behind us.’
JANACEK said the main item
on his platform is to “set up a
memorial for Pinky Downs.”
John F. MacGillis, a dairy sci
ence major from Houston, is one
of the two civilian candidates in
the race.
MacGillis is acting president
of Walton Hall.
“I have a sincere desire to see
A&M become as united as pos
sible,” MacGillis said. “The school
is rapidly changing, and I hope
to have activities and attitudes
predominant in our class that will
keep up with those times.”
“I also intend to represent all
of the class in as complete a
manner as possible,” he noted.
“I think the class should work
as a whole, not a diided unit.”
“I ALSO intend to try to get
more social functions begun for
all parts of the campus.”
John C. Otto, an accounting
major from Dayton, is the sixth
candidate. Otto is presently secre
tary of the Dayton Hometown
Club and has served as a repre
sentative on the Sophomore Coun
cil.
His platform:
“My biggest idea on a plat
form is to have better communi
cation between officers and the
class,” Otto said.
“I would also like to appoint
a special committee to investigate
