Page 4 College Station, Texas Tuesday, September 18, 1973 THE BATTALION DAR Objects to Textbooks AUSTIN (A*) — Jill was miss ing. She was a princess. You could tell because she lived in a palace. A lad rescued her from a tower and a dragon. He took her back to the palace on his horse. “Typical stereotyping of a male saving a female,” objected a rep resentative of a women’s rights group, who want “Jill” eliminated from a boxed set of first grade readers. Barbara Glenn of San Antonio opposed “Jill” and numerous oth er story books Monday at a hear ing on proposed textbooks before State Education Commissioner J. W. Edgar. She represented the Continuing Task Force for Edu cation for Women. Mrs. R. C. Bearden Jr. of San Angelo spoke for the Daughters of the American Revolution, chiefly opposing several series of readers for what she called insufficient emphasis on patriot ism. Testimony before Edgar is ex pected to last a week, since the commissioners has imposed no time limit and 142 books out of 316 under consideration have been protested.

The committee will make its recommendations, subject to final approval by the State Board of Education, Oct. 10. Local school districts will make their choices from the final list of adoptions. “Jill” and several other paper- bound books in Ginn & Co.’s “Magic Circle” readers for grades 1-3 foster stereotyped views of female behavior and roles, Mrs. Glenn said. She also criticized supple mental readers offered by several other publishers. In a book called “the Runa way Camper,” Ms. Glenn ob jected because “the father drives the camper and the mother sits in the middle. Why can’t mother drive for a change?” Ms. Glenn said numerous books portrayed women only as moth ers and housewives and girls as helpless, passive and easily frightened. “It is the subtle kind of thing that is lodged back in their minds,” she said.

Although the Corps and men’s dorms have been banging heads for a week; the girls, Corps fish and off-campus teams start play ing the pigskin within the week. Class A football could prove to be interesting as the Corps’ up perclassmen play predictably in their games. In League A, , L2 looks big, fast and with Dossey quarter- backing and Hank playing defen sive end, the team plays well to gether showing previous experi ence. Although LI and H2 are tied in rank for League 2, Li’s scores have been consistently high er than any team in the class, let alone the league. They have lit erally stomped everyone they’ve played into the ground both of fensively and defensively. With Tom Leopold as quarter back and Gordon Steward set as his receiver, FI covers ground with a practiced passing attack. League C should claim FI as their champion. League D finds B1 leader because of this team’s ability to relate to each other like they’ve been up this alley be fore. Again, it’s the story of a quar terback and receiver in League E. Bill Stanton as QB and Keith Wilcox are a remarkable team for their long bombs. In League F, C2 and Dl are ranking ahead of everyone, but C2 has a good quarterback, receiver and are generally bigger than Dl. In League G it should be a close race between A1 and Squad ron 13-12. Both are about equal in both offense and defense. In Class C, there are two teams tied in each league. League A shows Dunn and Law in first place. Both need to work and this could be a case of who can improve the fastest. League B has Davis-Gary and Hotard neck and neck for first place. Both are fairly strong offensively. League C is the only one with a fairly obvious choice for first. Both Walton and Milner are tied in first but Walton looks like they’ve got it all together and work as a team, while Milner can’t get its plays coordinated. Team tennis has already start ed with results in this paper. Deadlines are approaching rapid ly for team bowling, open raquet- ball singles, open handball sin gles, and open pocket billards.
