ational THE BATTALION Page 9 THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1981 Flashers wanted for study of exhibitionist problems i by Briuili be towed United Press International MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Dr. Wil liam Murphy needs a few good men — all of them flashers. Murphy, a clinical psycholog ist at the University of Tennessee Center for the Health Sciences, and four other researchers have a $176,000 federal grant to study the problems of the exhibitionist. “We want people out there who are exposing themselves to know that we exist,” Murphy said Thursday. “It’s free of charge and hilly confidential. ” Murphy said the study, for which he needs about 40 volun teers, will try to identify common characteristics in exhibitionists as well as successful methods of treatment. So far there don’t seem to be any common bonds among those men with the problem, he said. Some flash to children, some to women. Some may be releasing anger, others trying to express masculinity. There’s one overriding reason these individuals need treat ment, Murphy said. Some move on to more serious sexual offenses. “Most of them don’t have any violent tendencies, but some do go on to rape and molesting chil dren,” he said. “Perhaps 5 per cent go on to rape.” Surprisingly, Murphy said, 60 to 70 per cent of exhibitionists have normal sexual outlets. But some 30 to 40 percent either have difficulty meeting or talking to women, or have a desire to re lease anger or prove their sexual prowess. There is a big difference in the male exhibitionist and a female stripper, Murphy said. He said there’s no such thing as a female exhibitionist. “The majority of women that strip on stage or pose nude don’t get any sexual satisfaction,” said Murphy. “It’s a job for the ma jority. ” Exhibitionists are not all dirty old men in trench coats as the stereotype suggests. “We’ve seen executives and we’ve seen blue-collar workers” at the clinic, he said. “We’ve had people who are unemployed, we’ve seen Ph.D.’s. It’s hard for me to think of any level of people we haven’t seen.” lesLal^ij e inlet, ie flood ttingin dossaid,!] because ii overnmen t study says MX ystem would h urt mining United Press International WASHINGTON — A report prepared for the Air and sudi force concludes construction of the MX missile system floodgate ;,j n Utah and Nevada would hamper efforts to tap rich I underground mineral reserves and prove damaging to though o ^ mining industry. nlandsoiii preliminary study by Furgo National, Inc., an i Spillmaa) engineering and geological firm, said the region where saidnow the mobile missile system is to be deployed is “part of image hii oneofthe premier active exploration areas in the United States.” But without assurances of access to federal lands by prospectors, it said the vast MX system — designed to ihuttle its missiles among 4,600 hide-and-seek under ground shelters — will adversely affect mining efforts. r 'The construction of the MX system on such lands could seriously impair mineral resource development,” said the report, released Tuesday. The Air Force has said its siting of the MX “will avoid mown mining areas.” It said the system “has the inhe- nicked, i •entflexibility” to allow for prospecting for minerals, gas ere ablel md oil. ant who| The report said only by strictly adhering to a policy of o jump.

"The ability of industry to conduct significant exploration and development within the deployment areas is likely to be impaired.”' The report covered 29 of the 36 potential areas in which the Air Force seeks to deploy the MX in the Great Basin area. Exploration to the year 2000 and beyond, it said, “is expected to locate numerous new economic deposits of metallics, uranium, nonmetallics, industrial minerals and oil and gas in both the ranges and the valleys. ” It said 10 strategic materials, more than half of which now are imported, can be found in the area. The MX system, for which $2.4 billion has been budgeted for fiscal 1982, is designed to replace missiles now confined to stationary silos. The estimated total cost of the program is at least $34 billion, with deployment to be completed before the end of the decade.

Tickets Commons Tickets Rudder Box Office Reagan speaks to nation tonight List reveals many budget cuts United Press International WASHINGTON — Food stamps, extended unemployment benefits, highway programs, public service jobs and grants to state and local gov ernments are targeted for big budget cuts by the Reagan administration, congressional sources say. A preliminary list of cuts for the rest of fiscal 1981 and for 1982 was distributed to some members of Congress this week. One called it “nonpermanent, ” indicating it could change by the time President Reagan sends details to Congress Feb. 18. Reagan addresses the nation on the general state of the economy Thursday night. In a preview of those remarks, White House press secretary Jim Brady said Tuesday the president will pledge to not hurt the “truly poor and indigent.” “We’re not going to balance the budget on the backs of the poor,” Brady said. Sources said the list, yet to be completed, would cut “somewhere in the neighborhood of $50 billion” from the budget during the three- year jperiod under consideration, 1981-83. The Reagan list calls for cutting grants to states and local communi ties by 15 to 20 percent and distribut ing the aid as block grants, rather than for a variety of categorical prog rams, with no strings attached to their use. It calls for a major change in the trade adjustment assistance prog ram, which ballooned to $3 billion from $300 million to help steel and auto workers who lost jobs because of foreign imports. Benefits would not be available unless unemployment benefits were exhausted, sources said. That would all but eliminate the program. Extended unemployment benefits jobless workers receive after the reg ular 52-month benefits end, also would be reduced. Food stamps are targeted to be cut by more than $2.6 billion next year and child nutrition programs by ab out $1 billion. Highway funds would be drastical ly reduced until the economic situa tion improves, and the synthetic fuels program initiated under Presi dent Carter also would be cut sub stantially. Reagan has said he will not reduce Social Security benefits to the elder ly next year, but was reported ready to make changes in the program, such as eliminating the minimum payment, now $122 a month, and college student benefits. Reagan is expected to propose phasing out public service jobs prog rams under fire for years, and put ting more emphasis on training. Some 100,000 jobs under the Com prehensive Employment and Train ing Act’s controversial Title VI prog ram are to be eliminated. The list includes proposals to cut in half federal funds for the National Endowment for the Arts and the Na tional Endowment for the Humani ties, which were expected to get more than $160,000 each next year. Funds for public broadcasting also would be cut, but not by half. Agencies like the Economic De velopment Administration, Rural Electrification Administration and Tennessee Valley Authority would get less money, and even some space programs would be deferred for 1982 reductions. * * * * * * if + USED GOLD WANTED!
