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.

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.
