Can you remember that after that
first kiss you were somehow
changed? Breast-petting seems to
have similar effects. While the first
experience is traumatic in many
ways and sometimes creates feel
ings of guilt, it generally changes
attitudes toward the activity and
tends to increase the drive to
explore and learn more about this
touchy subject.
The sample females reported hav
ing an average of 5.56 partners with
whom they have engaged in
breast-petting. Men reported 6.8
partners. In an average 2.78 year
period from first experience to time
of report, the 100 females estimated
having 6134 separate breast-petting
experiences. Males reported having
3865 experiences in a similarly de
rived 3.87 year period.
Type of fondling varied. Females
reported 5148 experiences in which
fondling was performed by hands,
3089 experiences of oral fondling,
and 931 experiences of fondling
other than by hand or orally. Males
reported 2870 fondling experiences
by hand, 1722 oral fondling experi
ences and 389 other fondling ex
periences. Not all respondents
answered these questions.
The female view
Moral attitude toward breast
petting changed as respondents be
came more experienced. Twenty-
four per cent of the females re
ported liking the activity, 15 per
cent enjoying it, five per cent said it
was becoming more important.
Four per cent said it was okay,
three per cent reported it as a means
of showing affection for a partner,
three per cent said it became sexu
ally satisfying.
As experience increased, there
were still girls against the activity.
Six per cent said they would only
allow breast-petting with one they
loved or planned to marry.
Five per cent said it was still
wrong and immoral and four per
cent permitted it only if they trusted
the male and reported feeling some
insincerity. Four per cent still felt
guilty, three per cent had questions
about the activity, three per cent
reported willingness to tolerate it,
two per cent felt less guilt than ini
tially but still some guilt.
Some girls wrote regarding their
attitude toward additional experi
ence:
“Depends on how soon it is
started after dating a person. Too
soon — guilty; after several dates,
not so guilty.”
“The more guys who did it, the
more I noticed how unnatural and
insincere it was.”
“Some guys are satisfied with
only breast-petting — you can keep
them from going any further.”
“Enjoyed it, but it was only a be
ginning.”
“With someone you love, you can
derive great satisfaction and ten
derness from such acts.”
“No more enjoyment but gave
satisfaction to partner and plea
sure.”
“Still liked it — it’s better than
getting pregnant. ”
“An accepted, well-liked, spicey
part of necking. ”
“Enjoyed it more as it led to other
things.”
“My morals changed and I grew
to enjoy it.
The males’ side
As the males became more ex
perienced 14 per cent reported lik
ing breast-petting, 14 per cent re
ported it was okay and 10 per cent
said it was becoming more pleasur
able.
Nine per cent said breast-petting
was great, six per cent said they
were enjoying it. Three per cent felt
they could please their partner by
breast-petting and 3 per cent said it
led to further activity.
Two per cent wanted more than
breast-petting, two per cent said it
became an art or skill and two per
cent wanted more petting.
Seven per cent of the males re
ported that the activity became old
or less exciting, four per cent
learned to be reserved in time and
place of breast-petting and two per
cent still had questions about it.
Some of the males wrote:
“Began to respect the girl’s feel
ings and tried to please her as much
as possible (fondle, oral).
“Wanted to expand to many
females.”
“Enjoyed it and didn t feet guilty
if she enjoyed it.
“Fantastic.
“Mustn’t be carried to extremes
because of feelings and reputation.
“I still enjoy breast-petting very
much but sometimes this becomes

Maritime Academy to be
in SMU game march-in
DEPARTMENT STORE
By DON MIDDLETON
Battalion Staff Writer
This weekend, as usual, Texas
A&M University’s uniformed stu
dent body will parade in Kyle Field
prior to the Aggies clash with
Southern Methodist University.
Not so usual will be the presence of
70 Aggies in dress blue uniforms —
the cadets of the Texas Maritime
Academy.
The Texas Maritime Academy is a
division of the Moody College' of
Marine Sciences and Maritime Re
sources in Galveston. The men who
will be participating in the march-in
are part of the 150-member Corps of
Cadets at the seaside campus.
One-hundred fifty may not seem
like a large contingent compared to
the 2,000 uniformed Aggies here at
the main campus. That number rep
resents a fifty percent increase over
last year’s enrollment of barely over
100, according to Jim Heap, cadet
commander of the Moddy College
Corps of Cadets.
Heap was in College Station
Tuesday to confer with Joe Chan
dler, commander of the land-based
Corps, on operations for the upcom
ing review.
Like their land-locked comrades,
the Galveston cadets wear uniforms
to classes five days a week, fall out in
the mornings for reveille and look
forward to the day they graduate.
Unlike the main body they eat,
sleep and play on board the
BRINGING ALONG

fectly portable radios ideal traveling companions anywhere

tuned-in to what’s going on in the world. Decide right now to
include one of these Sony Travelers Portable Radios in the itin
erary for your next trip. _

Academy’s training ship the Texas
Clipper. The Clipper is a converted
troop carrier/cargo ship which was
given to the Maritime Academy in
1967.
The cadets live in not-so-spacious
cabins and eat in the main galley
which seats about 80 men at one
time.
“Seniors have first chance at the
one-man rooms and the rooms that
have bathtubs,” Heap said.
“The structure of our Corps is
similar to the Corps at the main
campus,” Heap continued. “There
are three companies each with a
commanding officer, executive of
ficer and petty officer.”
Heap heads the Corps staff which
also includes an executive officer,
adjutant and master-at-arms.
The Galveston Corps is organized
more loosely than Brazos River
Corps. There is no “whipping out”
and the atmosphere is more infor
mal. Their main concern is learning
the ins and outs of the shipping bus
iness.
The Academy, under the super
vision of Rear Adm. John Smith
(USN ret.), is not directly con
nected to any ROTC program,
Heap said. The TMA was estab
lished as a training ground for men
who wish to join the United States
Merchant Marine, an organization
of private shipping companies regu
lated by the U.S. Coast Guard.
Upon entering the Academy
freshmen sign a contract stating that
they will accept a U.S. Navy Re
serve commission upon graduation
if offered one. But most cadets go
directly from the TMA into a job as a
third-mate or third-engineer aboard
a Merchant Marine ship.
Part of the training program in
cludes yearly cruises for two months
during the summer aboard the
Texas Clipper. This past summer
the cadets cruised the Caribbean
Sea, learning basic naval skills and
calling at such ports as Dry Tor-
tugas, Santo Domingo, Aruba and
Caracas. A scheduled stop in Kings
ton, Jamaica was cancelled by the
U.S. State Department due to
anti-American demonstrations in
that city.
The last port-of-call before re
turning home is Houston. There the
Clipper takes on board assorted
VIP’s including parents, politicians
and an occasional stowaway for a
cruise down the Houston ship
channel to home base on Pelican
Island.
As Heap leads the Moody delega
tion, mostly freshmen and transfer
students, in Saturday’s march-in
he’ll be thinking of his future as a
Merchant Marine officer, as most
seniors do.
“I’m shipping out as soon as 1
can,” he said.
The lure of the sea has always
been strong in some men. And that
goes double for the cadets of the
Texas Maritime Academy — the
“Other Aggies.”

BUYING PAGES IN
THE AGGIELAND ’76
FOR
ORGANIZATIONS
AND CLUBS
In an attempt to set precedent concerning the conflict
of recognized versus unrecognized organizations and
clubs, The Aggieland ’76 is requiring organizations and
clubs desiring to be represented in the book BE RECOG
NIZED BY THE UNIVERSITY.
Even if an unrecognized organization or club has
bought pages in past Aggielands, if they want to be in
cluded this year the organization or club must go through
the recognition procedures established by the university.
An organization or club wanting to become recog
nized can do so at the Student Programs Office, second
floor of the MSC.
The Aggieland will accept no organization or club for
reserving space after Nov. 14, 1975.
All previously recognized organizations and clubs
plus those applying for recognition have until Nov. 14 to
reserve space. After Nov. 14 there will be no further space
sold in the book and no exceptions will be made.
If any questions develop call Student Publications at
845-2611, ask for Debbie Stallings or Gary Baldasari.

“Still greater, I would do it no

the real high is emotional.”
