Three Qualities of Women Stressed
Sissy Farenthold Addresses Phi Delta Gamma
By MARY RUSSO
and KATHY YOUNG
“Women are not persons under
the U.S. Constitution,” said Fran
ces Farenthold in her address
Tuesday night.
She spoke before the first
meeting of Phi Delta Gamma, the
newly formed graduate women’s
sorority. She stated that the
three qualities a woman needs to
succeed are awareness, assertive
ness, and audacity.
While touring college campuses
MS. FARENTHOLD stressed a need for awareness, as-
certiveness and audacity to members of Phi Delta Gamma
Tuesday night. Following her speech, Sissy was honored
at a reception hosted by Cap and Gown, (by Roger Mallison)
across the nation, “Sissy” said
that she found the most active
faction in the university was the
women.
“One of the greatest wasted re
sources is women,” according to
the Carnegie Commission Report
on Higher Education. Mrs.
Farenthold pointed out that
women had been ignored too long
and suggested that the first step
toward change is an awareness
of any situation.
In her own situation, Sissy said
that she never realized the mean
ing behind the Constitution until
she started dealing with the Equal
Rights Amendment. “Under Com
mon Law, a woman’s identity is
supposed to merge when she
marries, but actually, it dis
appears.” She also mentioned
that women are not equally pro
tected under the law.
Women also experience employ
ment discrimination in the form
of promotions and wages. “Women
are in the job marketplace be
cause they need to be as they
become the head of the house
hold in ever increasing numbers.”
“They receive 54 per cent less
pay on an average than men and
have to have three years of col
lege to earn as much as a man
with a seventh or eighth grade
education.”
Sissy stated that awareness
comes from looking around. “You
may think that your situation is
isolated, but when you refer to
the statistics, you find it’s a
pattern.”
Assertiveness is the second key
to success, according to Sissy. In
her first term in office, she took
all her ideas to the committee
chairmen and she was satisfied
‘Doctor’s Door’ Column Open
For Students with Questions
The Women’s Page will intro
duce the ‘Doctor’s Door,’ a ques
tion-answer column concerning
health, on October 3.
The physicians at the Univer
sity Health Center will answer
any health questions students
ask through this column. Stu
dents may bring their questions
to Room 222 of the Reed-McDon-
ald Building and place them in
the box inside the door.
“We want to try to inform
you about the most common
health problems. Hopefully, this
will help you remain healthy,
since health is your greatest as
set,” said Dr. Powe, physician at
the Health Center. “We are
pleased to have this opportunity
to present information of current
interest,” continued Dr. Powe.
For those students with prob
lems that can’t be answered
through this column, the Health
Center is open for out-patient
visits from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. every
Monday through Friday, and from
8 a.m. to noon Saturdays. There
is a nurse on duty and a physi
cian on call for emergencies 24
hours a day except during holi
days.
“If you are not sure whether
your problem is an emergency or
not and it is other than the usual
clinic hours as outlined above,
don’t hesitate to come on over
anyway. The nurses are skilled in
screening problems and if there is
any problem, even non-emergency,
you will be taken care of,” said
Dr. Powe.
According to Dr. Powe, the ad
vantage of coming over during
the 44 usual out-patient clinic
hours is that a doctor will be
there, while at other hours a stu
dent might have to wait for a
doctor to come if the nurse on
duty calls one.

Health Center, Dr. Powe said,
“We, the physicians and nurses,
as well as the Reception Clerks,
strive to attend to your needs in
a professional, warm, and friend
ly atmosphere. We will treat
your problems, with utmost con
fidentiality. Some students have
expressed apprehension on the
point, since as they sign in they
are requested to write their
“Chief Complaint” on the roster
at the Receptionist's desk. Ob
viously if you have a problem
which you prefer to keep a mat
ter of privacy, just write T want
to see a doctor’ rather than your
complaint. No questions will be
asked.”
“We feel that good doctor-pa
tient relationships depend on mu
tual respect and courtesy,” fin
ished Dr. Powe.

Once myths are punctured, things
will be easier, not necessarily for
you, but for the next woman or
even the next human being that
comes along.”
Sissy quoted from an article,
'“Women vs. Success,” “All people
are afraid of trying the unknown
but the few people who put their
fears behind them try for more
than they think they can succeed,
and are richly rewarded.” In her
own life, she pointed out she’d
rather take her luck with the elec
torate, than pursue a profession
in law here in Texas.
“We must turn to the gate
keepers in our professions. It is
a two-way street, nothing is given
to you.” She suggested that
reasoning with these gatekeepers
is necessary, for most gates are
generally still closed to women.
“There is a great ferment in
this land and it’s long overdue.
Women have had the franchise
for 52 years, and we have just
now realized our potential.”
At this point Frances Farent
hold congratulated Phi Delta
Gamma for its chapter formation
and willingness to help further
women’s identity.
Cap and Gown, the senior
women's honor society, hosted a
reception immediately after her
speech.
“A very good talk in which Ms.
Farenthold urged women to find
their own way in a man’s world,”
said Robert Berg, professor of
geology and director of university
research.
“I found the speech informative
about problems faced by women.
She didn’t go to any extremes.
It’s a shame, after seeing her in
encouragement to get out and
meet the world,” commented
Grace Keefer, formerly of the
Math Department.
Sissy Farenthold made the fol
lowing remarks at the reception:
“Politicians live on mutual
blackmail.” She referred to the
Sharpstown scandal and Water
gate.
“If I were in Congress, I’d be
actively leading an impeachment
resolution.”
“I don’t have any political
aspirations, because I don’t have
an issue to stand behind. You
can support or oppose an issue,
but you can’t create one.”
“I miss being in government,
but I find my new position as
president of the Women’s Politi
cal Caucus keeping me busy.”
“In this position I’m finding it
hard to be multipartisan. My
background in the Democratic
party still steers my interest in
that direction. I feel that any
decisions made at the National
Democratic Caucus, which will be
called to order in the near future,
will be vital, because they will be
selecting their future candidates.”
Water Standards Might Fail
AUSTIN, Tex. UP) — The re
gional director of the federal En
vironmental Protection Agency
has told the Texas Water Quality
Board that Washington probably
will not approve the board’s wa
ter quality standards.
“It doesn’t look goo d,” Art
Busch of Dallas, said Tuesday.
“The latest I hear is that they
intend to stand tight, at least
until a number of states get into
compliance.”
Texas will not lose any anti
pollution funds for failure to win
the approval of the EPA’s Wash
ington office, Busch said.
The regional office in Dallas
will revert back to a “working
agreement” with the state board
until the next session of the leg
islature is given a chance to cor
rect what Washington says is
the biggest stumbling block, he
said.
Congress passed a law late
last year calling for fines up to
$25,000 a day for violation of
water quality standards. Texas’
top fine is $1,000 a day, and
Washington says this is too low,
Busch said.
Busch visited briefly with the
board in a hotel room at noon.
He stopped over en route to San
Antonio.
He took part of the blame for
not pushing for legislative com
pliance with the federal act when
the legislature was in session last
spring. “It appeared curative ac
tion was not vital,” he said.
Busch also told the board he
is pushing for a $3.5 million
study by the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers of water and subsi
dence problems in a 13-county
area that includes Houston.
And he discussed the interre
latedness of air and water pollu
tion. He told the board he ex
pects Congress to approve a land
use act that will be a major addi
tion to the fight against pollu
tion.
Hugh Yantis, executive direc
tor of the state board, told Busch
the legislature rejected every
land use proposal.
