sT1 N — School administra-
from across the state were
uintr up their cattle prods to
, a group of colleagues dur-
a Monday night initiation
an all-male club.
Members of “The Ancient
Beneficient Order of the
Red Rose” say the group is
unless fraternity that allows
ilofil nbers to socialize. Women
;hlyti ninistrators who are ex-
led call it sexist. • •
..... n nast initiations, new mein-
lerpjl j have been forced to do such
job,4 |g S as wear their jackets in-
i 0 ut, but the subject of the
ling then inevitably turns to
comments about male anatomy.
That is when the cattle prods
come out and newcomers are
given a jolt.
James Jeffries, an associate
superintendent in Austin and a
Red, Red Rose officer would noi
“divulge the secrets of the initia
tion ceremony,” but he said the
prods were used to give “a slight
electical charge, just a tickle.”
Larry Ascough, a Red, Red
Rose member and a Dallas
school administrator, called the
accusation that the society was
designed to keep women out of
lop administration “a far-out
theory.”
“It’s a bunch of boys having a
good time,” he said.

However, Ascough said, “In
the school business, everybody
who is anybody belongs. I doubt
if there’s a superintendent in the
stale who’s not a member.”
Edna Manning, superinten
dent of the T u loso- M id way dis
trict in Corpus Christi, said the
organization does hurt women
who want to advance.
“I’ve viewed it always as part
of the good old boys’ network,”
she said. “Any group restricted
to that sex will put forth the
goals of that sex at the expense
of the other.”
Larry Blair, superintendent
of the Brady school district in
central Texas turned down an
invitation to join.
“I really can’t see the profes
sional connection there,” he
said. “Every school district is
concerned about preventing
hazing as part of the students’
initiation into organizations. We
say you shouldn’t do that in high
school. I have a hard time
accepting it for adults.”
The group was formed in
1936 in Beaumont. About 1,000
administrators from the state’s
1,043 school districts are now
members, and about 75 initiates
will go through the ceremony.
The state has 17 women
school administrators. None of
them has been invited to join the
group.
