Senate decides priorities
for legislative sessions
A resolution recommending stu
dents on governing boards, student
input on service fees and legislation
on building use fees passed unani
mously at the Student Senate meet
ing Wednesday night.
These are three priorities set by
organized student lobbies for the
coming legislative session.
A resolution recommending that
all Texas universities have spring
break at the same time failed. The
resolution was on first reading but
after a majority vote, it was voted
on.
A major reason for the failure of
the resolution was the recreational
resorts would be too crowded if all
Texas universities let out at the
same time.
Women, as well as men, may be
able to go out for yell leader soon. A
referendum resolution was read re
commending that women not be
barred from the position.
Also on first reading was a resolu
tion suggesting that the yell leader
with the most votes get the position
of head yell leader.
Presently, he is selected by the
yell leader committee. If the resolu
tion passes, a referendum will be
held.
Three other resolutions received
a first reading at the meeting. Blue

The College Station City Council
will consider forming a city charter
revision commission at a specially
called meeting at 5 p.m. Tuesday at
City Hall.
The meeting was called by the
council Monday night at its regular
meeting after Councilman Jim
Gardner suggested the city consider
changing its at-large election system
to a ward system. A revision in the

Pinnell-Anderson-Wilshire and As

goals and needs of the city regarding
land use and establishing more
community facilities. His company
is an urban consulting firm chosen
by the city in January of 1975, to
assist in conducting the develop
ment study.
The plan, composed of three ph
ases, completed in late December,
also includes studies on transporta-
city’s charter is required for such a tion and capital improvements
change.
The city council was elected
through the ward system just a few
years ago before changing to an at-
large system.
The council will also hear a pre
sentation on the Comprehensive
Development Plan for College Sta-
programs. The study was financed
partly by a grant from the Depart
ment of Housing and Urban De
velopment (HUD). The grant was
administered through the Division
of Comprehensive Planning of the
Texas Department of Community
Affairs.

“You don’t understand the power
that you have over a person when
you rape them!” shouted a con
victed rapist at Burn DuBose during
an interview. “You just don’t know
the power!”
DuBose, a psychologist, Dr.
Sarah Jones, psychologist, and
Bradley Smith, assistant district at
torney, addressed the Women’s
Awareness Workshop Thursday
night on the possible motivation of a
rapist and the possible effects of his
actions.
“I think that most rapists are
psychopaths,” DuBose said. “They
have no sense of responsibility, they
can’t form deep relationships, and
they have no control over their im
pulses.”
DuBose also contended the rapist
is not immoral, just amoral. All he
has to do is say to himself he hasn’t
done anything wrong and he will
believe it.
“That is why the rapist has such
success at beating the lie detector
test,” DuBose said. “He just doesn’t
believe he’s done anything wrong.
DuBose found that most of the 30
rapists he has interviewed, have sex
available anytime they need it.
They are often considered very at
tractive and usually have girl
friends. They can “charm a bird out
of a tree,” and often appear com
pletely normal, he said. Their prob
lem is that they want to have sex on
their own terms and they get a thrill
out of the power they have over the
opposite sex, DuBose remarked.
Dr. Jones claimed that rape is a
unique crime. It is one that gives a
victim a traumatic reaction.
“Rape is an experience that can’t
be shared with other people,” Jones
said; meaning that a person can’t get
any relief from telling the story to
other people.
Rape puts the victim in a double
bind. Should the person tell any
body? Should the person do any
thing at all?
“The person begins to think
‘Well, maybe if I had fought back’,”
Jones remarked,
take its toll. ”
The need for immediate counsel
ing was also emphasized by Smith.
The rape examination can be a
trauma and attention to the victim
will start her gradual regaining of
trust in people — especially men.
Counseling should be continued in
order to prevent the person from
having future depression.
Down the staircase trom the lec
ture room, a female screamed. Dr.
Jones laughed and said, “We even
provide sound effects.”
Smith reviewed the Texas rape
laws and while doing so the crowd
began to mumble, “loopholes.”
“There will be a new bill coming
up in the legislature this session that
will make it easier for a rape victim
to testify without damaging her
reputation,” Smith said.
The assistant district attorney
woidd also like to see a rape crisis
center set up for the Bryan-College
Station area.
T saw the one that has been set
up in Austin and I really think that it
would be worth the area’s while,”
Smith said.
“I think there is a need for a bet
ter way to handle rape victims than
the one that is given in the criminal
justice system.”
