Indeed, soci ety oftentimes molds the unsure heterosexual into a homosexual role in its staunch defense of heterosex uality. Scoiety continues to look upon gays as deviant, a label Woods says is the basis for the stereotype of a gay by society. “One of the curious things about a label is that if people see someone as deviant, their ex pectance of the person’s behavior changes.” Woods says society seems to expect gays to orient their lives about their “deviance,” and cau tions that “there really needs to be an understanding that gay people are not one-track minded.” Woods says that recent studies have shown male homosexuals to have a lower sex drive than heterosexuals. He says the cohe siveness of the gay community is evident because of the need of as sociation against repression. Soci ety, then, has the effect of forcing gays to think about sex more often because of the nature of the social controversy. Members of the A&M gay com munity disagree, saying that their cohesiveness is merely out of friendship rarely, if ever, for sexual purposes. They stress that no more of their everday life is devoted to their sexual preferences than that of a heterosexual to his. Woods says psychologists deal in the homosexual’s anxieties and not in conversion. Two fields of thought open in counseling along these lines. While the psychologist tries to help the gay adjust to his life style, the minister counsels on the basis that homosexuality can be given up with help. Although most gays seem to agree with the psy chologist’s belief in not trying to change sex orientation, many find the church a comforting experience, and merely tune out preachings against homosexuality. Today, then, homosexuality is only recognized by society with res ervations. It is something of un- doubtable substance but with a long way to go in being able to fashion any kind of comfortable niche in to day’s society.

TAMU Parking permits revoked THE BATTALION Page 7 FRIDAY, APRIL 15, 1977 By MARS BUCEK Some 275 car owners have had their University parking permits re voked since Sept. 1, 1976. The basis for this action is found in the Texas A&M University Motor Vehicle Regulations under the title “Procedures to be Followed by Re cipients of Traffic or Parking Viola tion Notices.” Section 1, paragraph a. states, “Any student, faculty or staff members receiving six or more violation notices during the year will have his permit revoked and will be prohibited from driving on the campus for the remainder of the year. ” The registration year extends from Sept. 1 through Aug. 31. If caught on campus again, the owner is issued a ticket and the vehicle is towed off at the owner’s expense. Ignorance of the law is no de fense. The General Policy State ment of these regulations confers the responsibility for obtaining kmowledge of all laws and regu lations in force to the motor vehicle operator. If the car owners have lost track of the number of their tickets, the police department issues a notice that informs them they are prohib ited from driving on the campus. A dorm student will need to find a place to store the vehicle off campus to avoid paying towing costs. The University police send a copy of the notice to Toby Rives, as sociate director of student affairs. Rives’ office sends a similar notice to the offender to reiterate the violations and restrictions. This notice adds that if there are any questions or any ways her office can be of help, feel free to call. “And I really mean it,” Rives says. Melinda Bayless, a dorm student whose permit was revoked recently, got help. Rives learned that Bayless needed her car to get to and from home, but now had no place to store it. Rives recommended the issuance of a restrictive permit to park in the back part of Lot 56 across Wellborn Rd. The police department estimated that this year ten students have been issued restrictive permits for Lot 56 based on Rives’ recom- menditions. About 25 less fortunate people have had their vehicles towed away for continued violation.

If you’re thinking about a career in engineering, think about this. / How many companies can offer you a nuclear submarine to operate? The answer is none. Equipment like this is available only in one place... the Navy. The Navy operates over half the nuclear reactors in America. So our training is the broadest and most com prehensive. We start by giving you a year of advanced engineering technology. In graduate school, this would cost you thousands, but in the Navy, we pay you. Once you’re commissioned as a Nuclear Propulsion Officer, you’ll earn a top salary. Over $24,000 a year after four years. And you’ll be responsible for the most advanced equipment developed by man. All the Navy asks in return is that you serve for 3 years on active duty upon completion of your training. You have only until May 15th to enroll in this year’s Navy Nuclear Propulsion Candidate Program. If you are majoring in engineering, math or physical sciences, contact your placement office to find out when a Navy recruiter will be on campus. Or call toll free, 800-841-8000 (in Georgia, 800-342-5855) for more information. And if you’re still a junior, ask about the Navy’s NUPOC Collegi ate Program, which pays you up to $6,000 during your senior year. The Navy. When it comes to nuclear training, no one can give you the same opportunities. NAVY OFFICER. IT'S NOT JUST A JOB, IT'S AN ADVENTURE.
