Searching out the clividing line be-
icen female virtue and vice is the
jtheme of a new book written by Dr.
■audinc Hunting, an associate pro
fessor of French at Texas A&M
Diversity.
■ Hunting said the book, entitled
“Innocence on Culpabilite? Silvie,
the molherti tfanon, Biondetta: Trois Visages
station. LojMkve Dans le Roman Francais an
' will Siecle,” or, in English, 'Guilt

nee falls aslej Hunting, a native of Paris who re-
^*ived bachelor’s and master’s de
le voters fall.® css ^ rom Sorbonne University and
^doctorate from Harvard, said her
|ook compares the themes of three
J8th centurh works.
I “The hook really is an analysis of
■iree novels and the stereotypes and
lyths on which they rest. I feel they
Itemplify a progression, an evolu-
lonofthe idea of woman in the 18th
:ntury. But the interesting thing is
ambiguity of the positions of the
Imale characters. First they’re pre-
|cnted as guilty, then there is a ques-
about their guilt, and then they
|egin to appear more and more inno-
:nt until at the end they appear as
lints.”
Hunting said the book also studies
e idea of virtue.
“There was a revolution in ethics
the 18th century, with the idea of
[irtue and vice, particularly female
irtue and vice, being centered
[round a sexual theme. As you prog-
iss into the century, you feel the
Idea of a female virtue is less and less
scure. There is a certain point in
|8th century philosophy where vir-
and vice begin to have very fuzzy
ontiers — we no longer know what
drtue is and what vice is. So I m
[ooking at those heroines in that
light."

College Bowl, the varsity sport of
the mind,” played at major universi
ties across the nation for about 10
years, will finally come to Texas
A&M University next semester,
according to Erum Sheikh, an MSC
Council assistant.
The game show-format College
Bowl is a competition between two
teams of four students each who
answer questions about a broad
range of topics.
After a correct answer, a team
has the chance to answer another
question correctly for extra points.
The team lith the most points at the
end of the game wins.
The council plans to have an intra-
collegiate match between at least ten
teams from the University. The win
ning team in the final match will win
a trip to Fort Worth, where it will
