Regents approve
business college
enrollment plan
By ROBIN BLACK
Senior Staff Writer
The Texas A&M Board of Re
gents approved a new enrollment
management plan Monday for the
College of Business Administration.
In a special meeting held one day
earlier than the regular bi-monthly
meeting, the regents approved a
new plan that will limit enrollment
for juniors and seniors in the busi
ness college to the current level of
3,000.
The policy, which passed unani
mously and without discussion, was
introduced to the board by system
Chancellor Arthur G. Hansen.
Under the policy, a student must
have satisfactorily completed all re
quirements for admission into the
college as outlined in the 1985-86
University catalog in order to be
considered for enrollment in junior
and senior level courses in the col
lege or to be able to major in the col
lege.
The policy also permits transfer
students to enter the college as “Bu
siness Administration” students until
they have completed University re-
uirements. At that time, the stu-
ents will be eligible to apply for ad
mission into the junior and senior
level courses and a major field of
study in the college.
Also, the policy gives preference
to business majors in registering for
junior and senior level courses in the
business college.
The new policy goes into effect at
the beginning of the fall 1985 semes
ter.
Hansen said in a letter to the re
gents that the plan was needed to
protect the quality of the business
college.
“The rate of undergraduate en
rollment growth in the College of
Business Administration at Texas
A&M University has exceeded the
resource availability and is in danger
of jeopardizing the quality of under
graduate education,” the letter said.
The regents slso approved appro
priation of funds for tne preliminary
design of an extended runway and
new terminal for A&M’s Easterwood
Airport.
The plans depend on the Federal
Aviation Administration for final ex
ecution, however.
The regents approved plans for a
runway extension to 7,000 feet —
long enough for planes as large as a
737 to land. The FAA has only given
concrete approval to an extension to
6,200 feet.
The support of the FAA means
the University will have to pay just
10 percent of the cost of the renova
tions.
The runway extension to 7,000
feet will cost about $6 million. With
the FAA’s support, the extension
would cost the University about
$600,000.
If the FAA approves the 7,000
foot extension plan, construction
bids will be taken starting next
month with a contract awarded by
the end of January 1985. The pro
ject should take about a year to com
plete.
The regents also appropriated
about $85,000 for the preliminary
design of a new airport terminal at
Easterwood.
The FAA may also foot part of the
bill for the first phase of the termi
nal, which would take a couple of
years to complete.
Phase one of the terminal project
would install utilities and taxiways to
the airport with the actual terminal
being built later.
In other business, the regents ap
pointed Doyle L. Moore as the new
associate director emeritus of the
Texas Agricultural Extension Serv
ice.
Moore retired as associate direc
tor of service last August, ending a
36-year career with the extension
service. He took over the associate
director position in December 1982.
Moore’s new position as associate
director emeritus is an unpaid,
mostly formal position.
The regents also accepted a dona
tion of 519 acres of land from Leo
nora O’Neal Masterson.
Masterson granted surface rights
only — she maintains the mineral
rights to the land — for use by the
Texas Forest Service and for schol
arships for forestry students at both
Texas A&M and Stephen F. Austin
State University.
Study shows myths
on rape still exist
By LISA PEDERSEN
Reporter
Men whose attitudes toward
women lean in the “barefoot and
pregnant” direction seem to be more
inclined to believe myths that place
the blame for rape on the woman,
according to the results of a Texas
A&M study.
Su Bailey, a staff psychologist for
the Houston Veterans Administra
tion, came across that finding in her
dissertation research on attitides to
ward rape of about 125 male prison
ers in the Bexar County jail who
were being held prior to trial. The
research group excluded sex offend
ers and prisoners with psychological
problems.
“A lot of males, and females, that
we consider normal endorse beliefs
about rape that are really myths,”
said Bailey who expects to receive
her Ph.D in counseling psychology
in December.
Some of those myths are that
women really want to be raped, that
they asked for it, that some women
dress in a way that invites rape and
that if women wanted to they could
resist rape, said Bailey.
“An interesting finding of my
study was that men who endorsed
the myths also showed considerable
sex role stereotyping,” Bailey said.
“Men with a more pro-rape attitude
seem to believe that women should
hold only certain jobs and should en
gage in only certain conservative
types of behavior.”
Not all the prisoners shared those
beliefs, she said. A significant num
ber of the prisoners did not endorse
rape myths and held liberal attitudes
about women and their roles in so
ciety.
The main focus of Bailey’s re
search was to examine whether ex
posure to women talking about be
ing raped would change men’s
attitudes toward rape. Her study
showed that men’s attitudes did not
change.
Participants in the study were
tested on attitudes toward rape and
acceptance of rape myths prior to
being shown a 30-minute videotape
of three actresses recalling the de
tails of actual rapes.
The men were tested again after
viewing the tape. An active control
group saw a tape of the same women
talking about social skills and an
other control group did not view a
tape.
“It didn’t appear that the treat
ment changed the men’s attitudes in
the post-test,” Bailey said. “A more
powerful treatment such as a longer
tape or exposure to real rape victims
in person might have more of an ef
fect.”
After completing the study, how
ever, participants were interested in
discussing rape myths and attitudes
toward women, she said.
“I think this (viewing the tapes ol
rape victims) would be a good way to
initiate work with people, especially
adolescents who are developing atti
tudes toward women,” Bailey said.
Alistair Cooke begins
3-day lecture series
By ROBIN BLACK
Senior Staff Writer
Alistair Cooke, “Masterpiece The
ater” host and all-around authority
on America, is the featured speaker
of the E. L. Miller Lecture Series
that begins its three-day fun today.
Tonight’s address will be held in
Rudder Theater at 8 p.m. where
Cooke will speak on “Making a PrSsi-
dent: Decline and Fall of the Con
vention System.”
Cooke began his career as a
broadcast journalist in 1934 as the
British Broadcasting Company’s
film critic.
Cooke, born in Manchester, En
gland in 1908, travelled to the
United States in 1932 after graduat
ing from Cambridge University.
In 1936 Cooke became CBS’s
London correspondent, and then in
1938 moved back to the BBC as ar^
observer of the American scene.
This led to a weekly BBC radio
program, “Letters from America,”
which is still running. The series is
the longest running program — ra
dio or TV — in history.
Cooke then went on to host the
TV series “Alistair Cooke’s Ameri
ca.” He published a book by the
same name taken from the series.
The book is the best-selling of ten he
has published.
Cooke became an American citi
zen at the age of 41.
Wednesday’s program includes a
speech by Cooke on “America Revis
ited — The Year 2004” at 4 p.m. in
601 Rudder Tower.
Cooke will end the lecture series
Thursday with “Media Influence on
Election Process” at 4 p.m. in 204C
in the Sterling C. Evans Library.
