Dr. James Turnbull of the Univer sity of Texas Health Science Center says his research shows that fathers in the study group spent an average of only 25 minutes each week in a direct one-to-one relationships with their young sons. “The images on television and in advertising showing boys and their fathers playing touch football. fishing and building model aircraft support the assumption — but simp ly don’t reflect real life,” said Tum- buull, an associate professor of psychiatry. Turnbull said he found in the fatherless homes of middle and low er income families, the key to per sonality development is in the sons’ relationships with their mothers. “Fathers are certainly important in shaping their sons’ behavior, but mothers, peer groups and other adult males usually have more con tact with the boys,” he said. “If a father is present, he tends to modify the mother’s influence with comments such as ‘you’ve spoiled the boy,’ or ‘boys don’t play with dolls,’ and other such reactions. The father’s treatment of the mother serves as an example for the son of how to interact with members of the opposite sex.” does not have to be a ] researcher said. He suggested that mort making negative comments| the father, or about menina in front of their sons. In fatherless homes, Turnbull said, the mother’s attitude toward men and her degree of protection toward her son seem to be keys to a boy’s development. “Many women rearing sons with out the father seem worried that the boy might grow up to be effeminate.

The oil from the crippled Burmah Agate drifted in along a 30 mile stretch of beach despite Coast Guard attempts to contain the spillage around the vessel, now anchored a short distance off the coast. Thirty-two persons were killed Nov. 1 when the outbound freighter Mimosa slashed into the tanker in the dark about 5 miles off Galveston Bay. The Burmah Agate, fully loaded, erupted into flames after the collision and has been burning ever since. Oil spilled from the ship has washed ashore periodically since the accident. For the past several days northerly winds had kept the flow out in the Gulf of Mexico but late Saturday the winds shifted to the southeast and began pushing the oil ashore. A Coast Guard spokeswoman said some of the oil was coming in in heavy patches and some in sheens. Containment booms and sweeps have picked up an estimated 85,000 gallons. A third of the tanker’s 16 million gallon cargo was believed lost, 800,000 gallons of it having poured unbumed into the sea.

Guayule is a natural resource that knows no boundaries. ” The guayule bush “could prove an economic boon to the desert Southwest and northern Mexico,” Bragg said. The stumbling block for scientists is the de velopment of a variety of the plant that can be culti vated commercially, hut should that problem be re solved, Bragg said, “guayule is expected to provide I think as credr iayed a g me time Jell as we We di( >uld have ig proble »g on sc otball. ” significant amounts of the rubber needed by Mei and the United States.” “Of all the so-called petroculture crops cw under study, guayule shows the most proi primarily because of its good track record,| spokesman for Texas A&M said. “Guayule was grown experimentally in Cali during World War II when the nation’s rubbers ply was shut off.

P°1 | f JUNIORS EARn OVER $725 A MONTH RIGHT THROUGH YOUR SENIOR YEAR. ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ Senator backs Carter over Iran United Press International AUSTIN — Sen. Howard Baker, R-Tenn., said Sunday he had discussed the Iranian situa tion with President Carter and supported the president com pletely. “I will support him in what ever action he might take and I believe the American people* also,” Baker said. “Onlytheptf ident can decide that and I not propose to further desert* the options.” He said the specter of Iran® trying Americans on spy chart* and deciding punishment wait’ tally “unacceptable.” If you're a junior or a senior majoring in math, physics or engineering, the Navy has a program you should know about. 1 It’s called the Nuclear Propulsion Officer Candidate - Collegiate Program (NUPOC-C for short) and if you qualify, you can earn as much as $725 a month right through your senior year. Then after 16 weeks of Officer Candidate School, you’ll receive an additional year of advanced technical education. This would cost you thousands of $$$ in a civilian school, but in the Navy, we pay you. And at the end of the year of training, you’ll receive a $3,000 cash bonus. It isn’t easy. There are fewer than 400 openings and only one of every six applicants will be selected. But if you make it, you’ll have qualified for an elite engineering training job program. With unequaled hands-on responsibility, a $26,000 salary in four years, and gilt-edged qualifications for jobs in private industry should you decide to leave the Navy later.
