Page 4 THE BATTALION WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 27, 1975 Women celebrate 55 years of voting Associated Press Women around the nation celeb rated a 55-year-old victory on Tues day by pledging to fight for further gains in their struggle for full equal ity- Most of the activities marking the anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment giving women the right to vote were low key in con trast to the fervor of previous equal rights demonstrations. President Ford declared his de termination “to make our govern ment a. showcase of equal opportun ity. ” He said Women’s Equality Dat “reminds us of how much more needs to he done to make equal op portunity a reality in our national life.’ One ofFord’s own staff members, Patricia Lindh, a presidential assis tant on women, said in a speech in Kittery, Maine, that the federal government remains a male- dominated institution. But she said there are signs of progress. “Bit by hit, hill by hill, case by case and decision by deci sion, we are closing the gap,” she said. The National Organization for Women sponsored a series of de monstrations around the country focusing on everything from equal employment opportunities to crime in the streets. A major aim of some of the de monstrators is ratification of the proposed Equal Rights Amendment banning discrimination because of sex. The amendment must be ratified by 38 states by 1979 to be come law and thus far has won ap proval,in 34. Some of Tuesday’s celebrations harked to the days of the suffraget tes. Three women who fought for adoption of the 19th Amendment and who voted for the first time in 1920 were special guests as Pennsylvania Gov. Milton Shapp signed a proclamation designating Aug. 26 as Equal Rights Day. Gov. Daniel Walker of Illinois prepared to sign a bill making the birthday of suffrage leader Susan B. Anthony a state holiday. The U.S. Postal Service chose Seneca Falls, N.Y., scene of the first women’s suffrage convention in the United States, to issvie a corn- pottepy Lessons call Yvonne Fares 693-8417 after 6:00 p.m. memorative stamp celebrating 1975 as International Women’s Year. Women today are in the majority, comprising more than half the U.S. population. A Census Bureau sur vey also showed that almost four million more women than men voted in 1972, although the percen tage of eligible women actually cast ing ballots was smaller than the per centage of eligible men who did so. Surgery on astronaut reveals benign lesion HOUSTON — Surgeons re moved a small, benign nodule from the left lung of astronaut Donald K. Slayton on Tuesday arid said the spaceman should recover fully. Dr. Charles Berry, Slayton’s long-time physician, said a three- to four-centimeter wedge was re moved from Slayton’s lung and that studies showed that a nodule within the specimen was not malignant. Berry told a news conference fol lowing the 2-hour operation that there is no way to determine what caused the nodule and there was no evidence of other lesions. Slayton, 51, one of the nation’s original seven Mercury astronauts, was discovered to have the lesion — about the size of a pencil eraser — during detailed X-ray examinations following the Apollo-Soyuz. spacef light. Slayton and his crewmates, Thomas P. Stafford and Vance Brand, inhaled poison gas during the final minutes of their mission last month. They were confined to a Hawaiian hospital and doctors con ducting detailed X-rays found the nodule in Slayton’s lung. Berry called Slayton “an ex tremely lucky man. “The odds are about 50-50 in per sons of this age range, slightly more toward malignancy with a history of SALES • SERVICE RENTALS ■□□□■aaraaiimH □ □□□□■■DBE3E3EI b a b a a b h a □ a □ □ previous smoking such as Mr. Slayton has, Berry said. Slayton was a moderate to heavy smoker for about 30 years but quit 2V> years ago. “I fully expect to see him qual ified to return to flying status, ” said Berry, former chief flight surgeon for the space agency. Slayton is expected to be hos pitalized another 10-12 days. Berry said it is “a reasonable expectation’’ that Slayton will be able to make a Sept. 22 tour of the Soviet Union with his Apollo crewmates and with the two cosmonauts of the Soyuz.

That’s one of the new ones in the sixth edition of the book “Aggie Jokes,” released Monday during a meeting of the Dallas Advertising League. The book has been coming out for the past 10 years, long before the Polish jokes became the craze of the country. By the way, one Aggie said his gal kissed him. The second Aggie asked, “Did you kiss her back?” “Nope,” came the answer, “I kis sed her mouth.” There were even awards given this year to the three best new Aggie jokes submitted for the latest edi tion. The winners received frog gigs, because Texas A&M s favorite football yell is Gig em Aggies. The book is published by three Dallas advertising executives who wish to remain anonymous but are graduates of Texas Christian Uni versity, Georgia Tech and Missoni i. The 113 new jokes were selected from 578 mailed in from 52 Texas towns, 10 other states and Quito, Ecuador. Everybody at the advertising league meeting thought the book was a dandy, everybody but Horace Thomas of Dallas, the only Texas Aggie in the crowd. Thomas said, “I guess I view this whole thing with mixed emotions ] know it’s all in fun, but there j s spirit at Texas A&M that will never die. ” And, there was the Aggie wli 0 tried to stand on his hands ami broke both of them. Lion for sale: smart but vain AUSTIN — Two Austin men are trying to sell a big cat who is smart enough to open doors with her paw and loves to look at herself — for hours — in the mirror. Sheila, a lion, is probably watch ing herself grow. She weighs 70 pounds and at the rate of six to eight pounds of raw chicken daily, she s heading for 350. “There aren’t any leftovers, says co-owner Bill Branum. Branum and a friend bought the lion from a Houston pet shop, in tending to raise her on a farm near here but were unable to buy one. They’re offering her for $500, but the price is negotiable. “One man wanted to rent Sheila to see if he could get along with her,” said Branum. “Other people tell us they’re looking for something smaller.” WANT AD RATES One day 10c per word Minimum charge — $1.00 Classilied Display $1.50 [ser column inch each insertion ALL classified ads must be pre-paid.
