Constitution Gets
Parents Should Praise Child TooMucllHelp
SHE FLIES THROUGH THE AIR with the greatest of
ease might have been the thought of observers as Kay Cor-
bell goes through her first place routine.
Typically, parents punish chil
dren more than praise them, ac
cording to one authority.
Jane Fleischer, specialist in
family life education with the
Texas Agricultural Extension
Service, stressed that punish
ment isn’t the sole method for
guiding behavior.
“There’s also the positive ap
proach — which encourages a
child’s good behavior through re
wards.
“Nevertheless, positive guid
ance isn’t simply rewarding good
behavior instead of punishing the
undesirable — it involves guiding
by reward.
“When using this approach,
parents should remember three
basics involving rewards,” Miss
Fleischer continued.
“First, when a child behaves in
a desirable way reward him im
mediately. Thus, he learns what
things or actions will gain a re
ward.
“Second, rewards should apply
to a child — such as something
special or something he enjoys.
This varies with children, de
pending on their interests and
personal likes and dislikes.
Miss Fleischer pointed out that
the strongest rewards are those
which “makes a child feel ‘good
inside.’ ”
Examples are “Thank you for
helping with the dishes — they’re
sparkling clean” and “Pick up
your toys, then find a story and
we’ll read.”
“Third, don’t wait until the,
ultimate goal is achieved. Re-

31SC TRAVEL COMMITTEE
HONOLULU UP) — Hawaii’s
women remain skeptical of their
rights, even though the state leg
islature was the first to ratify
the women's rights amendment
to the U. S. Constitution.
They trace their skepticism
back to the early 19th Century
and a 6-foot, 300-pound women’s
libber named Kaahumanu. This
strapping female won women’s
rights but then “blew it all when
the missionaries came,” says Bar
bara Milz, president of the Hono
lulu chapter of the National Or
ganization of Women.
The situation in Kaahumanu’s
day would rankle any women’s
advocate. Members of the fairer
sex were forbidden to eat pork,
bananas, and coconuts. And never
were they to eat at the same
table as men. The Hawaiians
called those kapus, or taboos, pun
ishable by death. You might also
call it discrimination.
Kaahumanu, the wife of the
King Kamehameha I, changed
that. After her husband’s death,
she persuaded his son Kameha
meha II, to share the throne. The
amazon became Kuhina Nui —
sort of prime minister.
With that, Kamehameha IPs
male chauvinism began receding,
and in November, 1819, he made
a symbolic move of joining the
women’s table at a great feast.
Later, he lifted the ban on for
bidden foods.

“THERE IS A NEED FOR PEOPLE LIKE YOU!!”
But according to Mrs. Milz,
Kaahumanu began relinquishing
her powers after the missionaries
arrived, and the post of Kuhina
Nui was abolished. “Women’s
rights in Hawaii have been go
ing straight downhill ever since,”
she said.
“Today, the danger is that
women may see this amendment
and think they’ve won their
rights and there’s nothing more
to be done,” she added. Most
women queried agreed with Mrs.
Milz that the war has not been
won.
Hawaii’s women have a lot at
stake. Unlike most states, they
frequently are employed as taxi
drivers, barbers, service station
attendants and in other jobs tra
ditionally associated with men.
Because of the high cost of
living here, nearly half of Ha
waii’s women over 16 are em
ployed.
“But they are stuck in the
lower echelons — cocktail wait
resses instead of bartenders, sec
retaries instead of executives,”
said Nancy Joy, of the Kaahu
manu Center, an information
gathering center on women’s lib
eration.
Embroidery In
Spring Fashion
Embroidery and lace promise
to soften spring fashions — for
women and men.
“Fashions going dressy will re
ly on embroidery, very much a
part of the spring scene,” Marilyn
Brown maintained.
The consumer education-cloth
ing specialist with the Texas
Agricultural Extension Service,
said several reasons account for
its revival.
“Increased popularity of at-
home clothes for lounging and
entertaining caused a demand for
special trims to add elegance and
dressy appearances. Embroideries
and lace answered this need.
“Increased home sewing is an
other reason.
“People are always on the
lookout for something different.
Embroidery is just that — excit
ing and colorful, with dimen
sion and surface appeal.”
Miss Brown noted that “big
embroidery comebacks” include
eyelets, lace, embroidered em
blems and appliques.
“Embroidery will appear on
checks, plaids, solids and pat
terned fabrics. Color will be
clean, clear and crisp.
“Sportswear, including men’s
sports shirts, and women’s dress
ier garments will feature it,” she
added.

ward progress — encouragement
is needed along the way.”
“After receiving a reward, a
child is likely to repeat the act to
get another ‘good feeling.’ Chil
dren learn through repetition,
since behavior changes slowly.”
Turning to punishment, the
specialist emphasized that be
havior taught through punish
ment is usually difficult to
change.
“For example, a child guided
by punishment into being quiet
and subdued may not easily be
come outgoing and aggressive
later.”
At this point, Miss Fleischer
requested that parents take a
close look at their own situations
— by answering the following
questions.
“What are your children doing
that meets your approval ?
“What are you doing to en
courage repetition of those ac
tions? How do you relay your
satisfaction or approval ?
“What words are used in re
warding children ? What others
could be used more effectively?
“Remember, the goal of guid
ance is to change the desire —
not just the behavior,” the spe
cialist concluded.
APO Project
Raises $500
Alpha Phi Omega’s bathtub
pull raised nearly $500 in Bryan
and College Station for the Heart
Fund.
The effort by A&M’s Xi Delta
Chapter contributed to a $3,000
total by the East Texas Section
of the national service fraternity,
according to project chairman
Mike Holley of Seabrook.
The bathtub pulled by APO
brothers traveled from Houston
to Huntsville, College Station,
Bryan, San Marcos and Austin
over the weekend. It rolled
through here Saturday afternoon.
The East Texas contribution
was presented to Heart Fund
drive officials Sunday in Austin.
Holley considers the Xi Delta
chapter effort a success, espe
cially since numerous APO mem
bers were tied up in Military
Weekend activities.
Girl Scouts
Sell Cookies
Bryan and College Station Girl
Scouts begin their annual cookie
sale today.
Nearly 1,200 girls will be sell
ing the cookies door to door and

ping centers in an attempt to
reach a goal of 22,800 boxes.
Priced at one dollar per box,
five varieties of cookines are of
fered: Mint, Peanut Butter, As
sorted Sandwich, Butter Flav
ored Shorties and Chocolate Chip
with Nuts.
The sale will be conducted

A selection committee to pick a
37-member commission to rewrite
the state constitution soon found
too many people want to help.
The six top officials on the
committee went to work late last
week trying to reduce the list
of 900 nominees or volunteers for
commission membership to 37.
