■ Page 4 THE BATTALION College Station, Texas Wednesday, April 15, 1970 " WOMEN NOW Experimenters Discuss Asian Mores, Openly Evaluate American Universities Library Displays * Varied, Exciting By Cindy Burleson Battalion Women’s Editor You may never see Cindi Ever- itt, but you see examples of her art every time you go into the library. If you were impressed by the Middle East clothing exhibit or interested by the book displays near the circulation desk, it was through the efforts of Mrs. Everitt. “The political displays on the first floor gave me the most trouble,” she admits. “I’m not familiar with Texas politics and not sure if I gave everyone equal time.” Mrs. Everitt has done 35 dis plays since taking the job in November. Her office is a pot pourri of books on collage and forestry, archaeological artifacts, book jackets and ideas. “Doing displays is not the neat est work,” she apologizes. Pre paring a display takes a week and a half, unless there are prob lems in locating the “artifacts.” She is interested in antiques and uses some of her own objects and fabrics for background color. “I think if we have a criteria for the displays, it is to be in formational,” Mrs. Everitt says. “I enjoy the job because I meet so many interesting people . . . people with fantastic collections.” The Middle East exhibit was sent in three trunks from Wash ington, D. C., and included a coin-covered wedding dress from Tunisia. The display came about as the result of a request by Arab students. Part of it may be seen later in the Memorial Student Center. The exhibits next week are keyed to Pan American week, with displays lent by the Associ ation of Pan American Students. An exhibit concurrent with the environmental symposium will be presented and Mrs. Everitt also plans a feature exhibit on music, for national music week. She hopes to do an exhibit on drugs, but says it will require a lot of time and coordination. Also in the planning stages are exhibits on South African culture and on faculty publications. Mrs. Everitt and her husband, Benjamin, came to A&M from North Dakota, when he joined the geography department here. She graduated from Dickinson State College in North Dakota with a degree in education and an art minor.

MAIN 822-2133 By Fran Haugen Battalion Staff Writer “Since there are no university dorms, students live in hotels run by church organizations their first year and in flats (apartments), either with a mixed group or with a group of one sex, their second or third year,” a New Zealand student on a tour of American universities said about life at .her school. Marian Logeman of the Univer sity of Canterbury in Christ church, New Zealand; Lilian Munoz of Far Eastern University in Manila, Philipine Islands; and Suvatchara Leeaphon of the Uni versity of Bangkok in Bangkok, Thailand, politely answered ques tions about dating, fashions and makeup in their native countries but they really wanted to talk about politics, social conditions and education. The three young women are part of a group of 10 student leaders from Asian and Pacific universities visiting the United States on a 70-day tour as part of the Experiment in Interna tional Living. ‘I once lived in a mixed flat with seven other people,” Marian said. “It was fantastic. Each person had his or her own room. Having boys around to go garden ing or mend bikes can really be handy.” The student health organization at the University of Canterbury provides contraceptives to stu dents, and the organization ad vertises the fact, Marian said, adding, "it’s the normal thing.” “We even produced a 32-page booklet about all contraceptive techniques, venereal disease, abor tion and masturbation, and made the booklet free to students,” Marian explained. “It also con tained a chapter entitled “Some Emotional Implications” which said that misunderstandings about sex relations are caused because the boy and girl don’t really talk to each other about how they feel, what they believe. “In New Zealand, no one says “'thou shalt not,’ but neither does anyone say, ‘thou shalt.’ A per son’s decision should depend on his ability to cope with the psy chological situation, and there definitely is one.” “But I’ve met lots of Americans who have sort of changed my opinion,” she said, “Violence and materialism still exists, but there’s a lot of thinking and self- criticism going on which could blow up the small power clique which rules America because the silent majority allows it to.” The experimenters are studying systems of university student government from California to New York. They began a 10-day stay at A&M on April 7. “We’re seeing the silent ma jority type of America at A&M, I! Marian claimed. “I think you’vt really got some problems on this campus. You’ve got three com pletely divided sectors. You may have a lot of traditions, butyoi really don’t have a unifying spirit.” ■'» The administration at the Uni versity of Canterbury is coopera tive with students, Marian said. A Student Liaison Committet, composed of four students, font faculty members and four admin istrators, all on an equal bask aids in making major policy de cisions. “If somethings happens, tin members of the committee get in there and fight it out,” she ex plained. “We’re really rude to each other, but this precludes stn dent demonstrations.” Philipino student Lilian saii that she is surprised that Ameri can students are so apathetic. “We’ve been hearing ate demonstrations, but when we get here, we find that many student; really don’t give a damn about what happens in their schools,' she said. “I am really surprised that your student senate didn’t grant women a seat, even an honorary seat,” Lilian said. “Men should realize that women can contribaie to progress, that they are in volved.” She is impressed by the in dependence of American student;, she said, and that students tai discuss issues with professon without fear that a professon opinion of what they say nil alter their grade. Suvatchara echoed this idea. “Teachers and students heir are just like friends,’' she com mented. “I think professors ii Bangkok should adapt themselves not to expect us to respect then so highly.” If you asked these girls from the eastern hemisphere abo® dating, fashion and makeup they’d tell you. They’d say that as teens, stu dents go out mainly in group; rather than as paired coupfc They’d tell you that they ani most of their friends wear lesi makeup than American girls, ani that mini skirts are not exclusivt to western nations. But they’d rather discuss social issues. Women’s Housing- THE By Cindy Burleson Battalion Women’s Editor Dear Mrs. Burleson: I am planning to enroll in Texas A&M this fall. I ran across an article about you and A&M. I was immediately interested and read the article. I have encoun tered the problem of housing for women. I have written several letters and have made one tele phone call about housing and have heard nothing. The article did not mention whether you were mar ried or not when you entered A&M. Did you have trouble find ing a place to live ? Could you tell me anyone to write to to secure housing? I would appreci ate any answer even if you can’t help me. Sincerely, Linda Dear Linda: There is no women’s housing at A&M. Some say there will never be. Some say there are plans in the offing. To date there is not even university-approved housing off-campus. So where do single women live? I’ve often wondered. They seem to have habits quite similar to elves . . . off-campus, they just seem to scatter and disappear into a jun gle of duplexes, apartments, rent- houses and private homes until the morning’s classes. There are ways and means to find suitable housing in College Station, though. To begin with, it doesn’t help at all to wait until September, or even summer, to start looking. Associate Director of Admis sions Homer Smith urges pros pective students to start looking early so that they are not faced with paying more than they can afford in the fall. “It would be excellent if we had a clearing-house for room mate requests,” Mr. Smith adds. “But it’s all so new and we’re still in the awkward stages.” Caroline Mitchell, who handles transfer - student applications, sends a list of apartment housinf taken directly from the yellow pages but tries to give individual help when possible. The best place for help, how ever, seems to be University Women. Requests for housinf coming into Smith’s office ani the YMCA-located housing office are forwarded to Mrs. Patricia Self, who assists University Wom en with housing lists. The organization has compilei a fairly comprehensive list oi available housing prospects, which is updated periodically- These are available on request They also keep brochures from different apartments for more complete information. First Bank and Trust has donated 500 maps to be handed out to home-hunters University Women has also or ganized and carried out a room mate service. Roommate cards are mailed out and kept on file in the housing office. When they are returned to Mrs. Self, a list Is compiled and sent to each indi vidual on the list. It is then up to each individual to follow up on correspondence with a poten tial roommate. UW has done as much at this point as it is author ized to do. The list is revised twice a semester but is in danger of obsolescence every day. Nobody ever said it was easy to come to A&M and find a nice warm abode with a cheerful roommate and a reasonable price- tag attached. But, Linda, this is the way it is. All these people are trying very hard and are willing to help in any way possible. Know that we 1,369 other women students have faced the problem in some form or other and you have all our sympathies. P.S. — All persons interviewed stressed that the university ac cepts no responsibility for the housing of women students and parents should understand this- Neither on or off campus does" the university touch it with a 10-foot pole.
