Page 2 THE BATTALION WEDNESDAY, JUNE 18, 1975 Counseling group organizing in CS ' -'“.j *v ^" —1„- The battlefield pictured above isn’t from some war torn Asian country, but right here on the TAMU campus. The picture was shot from in front of the Reed McDonald building. Continued from Page I The counselors advised not giving any information over the telephone, and said that single women could dial the first three numbers of their own phone numbers and leave the phone oft the hook, either when going out of the house or when alone late at night. DON’T HITCH HIKE was the strongest message that the volun teers had to offer. Also they said that if a woman finds her home or apart ment has been broken into, don’t go inside. For the woman who is attacked, the counselors said that she should stay calm and be aware of what she could possibly do in her defense. “Just don’t faint, ” pleaded one vol unteer. Should a victim call the Rape Crisis counselor, her call would be considered as an Immediate Outcry in the courts. This means that the victim showed immediately that she did not participate in any sexual act willingly. It was stressed that a rape victim should not make any effort to clean either herself or the scene of the attack so that the fact that a rape did occur could be most strongly estab lished. The counselors complained, “Too many women think that rape is a one-time offense; that the rapist couldn’t help himself and would never do it again.” In actuality, most rapists commit four to five rapes before they are apprehended, and the rapes com mitted by any one man tend to esca late in violence. Seventy-five per cent of all rapes are planned in ad vance and over sixty per cent of the convicted rapists are married men who lead normal sex lives. "Any woman interested in volun teering for training as a Rape Crisis Volunteer should call 822-7326, and explain that you are not a rape vic tim and you want to give your time and services,” said a crisis worker. presents Roger Rozell Terri Jiminez Gladys Lister Rita Nemec V * ♦ * * * WASH & WLAR HAIRSTYLES FOR MEN & WOMEN 9.00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Mon.-Fri. 8:00 to 5:30 Saturday 331 UNIVtRSITY DR above the Kesami Sandwich Sho^t jhc .614/ QUALITY PHOTOGRAPHY AT DISCOUNT PRICES SPECIALIZING IN WEDDING AND OTHER TYPES OF PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHY CALL: 846-6740 FOR FURTHER INFORMATION Engineers told 64th legislature successful R. B. Hall, supervisor of the Legislative Division of the Texas House of Representatives, told a gathering of the state’s professional engineers last Friday that the 64th Legislature will be remembered as one of the most Successful. Hall addressed a luncheon at the 39th Annual Meeting and Engineer ing Exhibition of the Texas Society of Professional Engineers at Texas A&M University. The legislature passed every major piece of legisla tion that was placed before them, he noted. “Constitutional revision heads the list of achievements,” he said. “We were able to salvage the work of the Constitutional Convention of last summer and pass a document for your approval on November 4. ” “One of the big issues was the creation of a public utilities commis sion, Hall said. “The new commis sion will have three members who will have jurisdiction over all tele phone rates in the state and all elec tric, water and sewer rates in unin corporated areas. It will assume jurisdiction over phone rates Sep tember 1 of next year. ” “To deal with the problems of energy, we passed three major pieces of legislation,” he pointed out. “We created a Governor’s Energy Advisory Council and Ad visory Committee and funded it to study and recommend action of energy-related matters affecting this state. We also prohibited the out-of-state sale of natural gas on state-owned lands except by per mission of the Railroad Commis sion. And finally, we authorized the Railroad Commission to conduct geothermal exploration on state- owned lands. Hall also mentioned some of the other new laws including: Creation of a $5 million revolving fund for cleaning up oil spills in coastal waters. Procedures for state licensing of an offshore superport for unloading of oil on Texas coastlines. Increases in the powers of the College Coordinating Board to con trol the growth, enrollment and spending of state-supported institu tions of higher learning. Regulation of strip mining by the Railroad Commission for coal, lig nite and uranium. “There is still much to do, but solid beginnings mark solid achievement in the end,” Hall con tinued. “Our work is not over. We require your criticism and direc tion.” “I believe strongly that you get the kind of government you want,” he said. “If this country is going to get back on the road to prosperity we will have to turn to those in terested citizens who understand the problems we face and are willing to work to solve them.” At the close of the luncheon, Harry E. Bovary, Jr., chairman of Bovary Engineering in Houston and past president of the Texas Society of Professional Engineers and president-elect of the National Soc iety of Professional Engineers, re ceived the first “Outstanding En gineering Achievement Award.” It is given by TSPE for meritorious contributions to the profession of engineering. Bovary was described as “. . . the most active engineer in the world. AGGIES! Douglas Jewelry offers Student ID Discounts! 15% off of $ 50 00 or more 10% off of under ^O 00 CASH PURCHASE ONLY 212 N.
