Not officially affiliated with the Physical Education depart ment, the organization is co-spon sored by Kay Don, P.E. instruc tor, and Dr. Mickey Little, asso ciate professor of P.E. Finances have been an obstacle for the WSA. Aid was received earlier in the year from Exchange Store funds and the Former Students Association. The club has had fund-raising projects and membeorship dues to supple ment the treasury. Entrance fees and travel expenses have been its major expenses. The club is now looking for other sources of funds. every curve there is a muscle. You find a girl without muscle, and she’s a Twiggy,” Little said. “Our girls have represented the school well in both ability and appearance. The girls probably look better from participating,” Don remarked. The A&M women have parti cipated in various sports this past year. Bowling and track proved to be the most successful. Last fall at the district bowling tournament, the coeds took sec ond and fifth in singles. Bernie Ponzio and Jerri Lampkin won first in doubles. A&M also took third and fifth in that event. The team placed second in the tourney and Ponzio became the individual high point winner. At the state meet, Ponzio again was high point winner and took first in singles. The team placed Sex Battle Persists, Sayis Professor Both Little and Don comment ed on the unfeminine image that women athletes have. “With Cates Typewriters Co.

Bayliss, professor of history and undergraduate adviser spoke at the banquet in the Bluebonnet Room of Wyatt’s Cafeteria. Bayliss made observations on the battle from his “safe and neutral position” and remarked that “the truth lies between the extremes of the controversy.” “No one could possibly deny that discrimination is still prac ticed against women,” said Bay liss. “The present struggle of women to obtain their just rights is a continuation of a struggle that has been in progress throughout our history,” said Bayliss. “There have been many promi nent American women in history such as Anne Hutchison and Kathryn Green, along with Clara Barton and Eleanor Roosevelt. The last two were immortalized my commemorative stamps. This should be evidence that we ap preciate women although we mis treat them,” said Bayliss. He then mentioned the Equal Rights Amendment now being considered by state legislatures and said, “the main leaders both for and against the proposed amendment are women. “There is no question that our society is undergoing a revolu tion which involves much more than the status of women. “Women will fare in this revo lution as they have in revolu tions of the past. They will come out better than they now find themselves, but not any better in the society as a whole,” said Bayliss. , Bayliss said he believes that the ultimate solution to our prob lems is selflessness and love. Members selected Shirolyn Al len as the most active member of the year. seventh. In the regional cham pionship, she placed second over all. Several women will be partici pating in the state track meet April 27-28 at West Texas State University for placing high in last weekend’s district meet. First through third place winners will attend. Debbie Berrier took second in the shot put and dis cus and first in the mile run. Third in the shot put went to Jean Collins. Debbie Wooten ran to a second in both the 100-yard hurdles and the 100-yard dash. Nancy Peck placed third in the 100-yard dash. Third in the jave lin was won by Connie Karcher. The sqcond place 440-yard relay team of Peck, Wooten, Collins, and Berrier will also attend. The swimming season was both successful and yet disappointing. The team won second overall at the state with several individuals taking first and second place medals in various events. Five women qualified for the nationals in Moscow, Idaho, but due to money problems only one could attend. Jean Collins placed eighth in the 50-yard backstroke, twelfth in the 100-yard individual medley, and 50th in the 100-yard backstroke. She won all these events at the state meet. A&M gymnists competed in three meets this season. The team won the dual meet with Pan American College. Kay Cor- bell and Elaine Eike were the top performers. Other meets were the TCU Invitational and the San Jacinto Invitational in Houston. In volleyball the A&M team placed fourth at the district championship last November in Houston. Jean Collins, Debbie Balcerwitz and Beverly Goech were top players. The doubles team in badminton placed sec ond in the district meet at the University of Houston, but did not place in the state tourney. The state golf tournament was held last Monday and Tuesday in Austin. Barbara Blake and Ellen Maniatis represented A&M. The last two rounds were rained out. Coed Hospital Uses Outlined The Health Committee of the Women’s Awareness Workshop met Monday with Dr. W. Harold Powe, director of the campus hospital, to learn what types of services are available to women students. There are four doctors on duty full time at the hospital and one on full time duty during the weekend. A gynocologist is at the hos pital on Tuesdays and Thursdays but is available only through ap pointment. As Dr. Powe puts it, “the doctors are here only to treat the sick and wounded,” which means the students must have an infection or some other problem to get an appointment. Since Saturday, there has been a clinic open to all female stu dents from 8 a.m. until noon. No appointment is necessary and students are able to get a pap smear for a $3 lab fee. Hospital policy as it now stands is opposed to prescribing or dis pensing any kind of birth con trol devices except to married students. A single coed may have a prescription for birth control pills renewed if she already has a prescription but must go else where for the actual pills. Powe noted a student can get an examination and the pre scribed birth control device free at the Family Planning Clinic in Bryan. The clinic is located by the old St. Joseph’s Hospital on 28th Street and is open on Monday and Thursday evenings from 7 to 9. They will treat mar ried or single women. The campus hospital also tests for and treats venereal disease. The test for gonorrhea is free and the one for syphilis is $4.50. Students planning to get mar ried can get the required blood test at the hospital. Powe emphasized that what ever problems a student has or thinks he or she has is confi dential between doctor and pa tient only. The doctors are there not only to treat students but also to “guide and counsel” them, he added. He said a student with a problem should ask the person at the desk to see a doctor and not leave until he or she does see him. OPA To Hold Bake Sale The Omega Phi Alpha pledge class will have a bake sale Thurs day in front of the Exchange Store from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. The nine member pledge class of the organization which spon sored the blood drive, cancer drive and heart fund will hold the bake sale as a money raising project for Omega Phi Alpha. “Baked goods for the sale will be homemade and are guaranteed to be good,” said Cindy Wallace, vice president of the pledge class. Other pledge officers are Jane Ott, president and Kathi Grif fith, secretary treasurer.
