Career woman challenges
to be topic of symposium
By KAREN HELLER
Reporter
The challenges of being a
woman with a career will be pre
sented in a “Women in Business”
symposium to be held Thursday.
The symposium, which is pre
sented in conjunction with Busi
ness Week, is sponsored by Exec
utive Women of Dallas.
Lynn Zimmerman, the assis
tant dean in the College of Busi
ness, said the symposium is being
held for several reasons. About
54 percent of the students in the
College of Business are women,
Zimmerman said. Also a large
majority of accounting and mar
keting students are women.
These students will encounter
problems when they enter the
workforce, and they will need
role models, he said. The mem
bers of Executive Women of Dal
las can provide those role models,
Zimmerman said.
Two discussions will be in
cluded in the symposium: “Face-
to-Face: Men and Women in the
Workplace” and “Seeking Suc
cess: Planning, Risking and
Doing.”
Four or Five women from dif
ferent executive managerial posi
tions throughout Texas will con-
duct each discussion,
Zimmerman said. The sympo
sium was organized by Beverly
Brooks, the owner of Beverly
Brooks an<j Associates, an insur
ance Firm in Dallas.
The “Face-to-Face” seminar is
designed to help both men and
women cope with the realities of
working together in the business
world and the difFiculties of com
bining home and career. The
seminar will be at 9:30 a.m. in 164
Blocker and at 12:30 p.m. in 161
Blocker.
“Face-to-Face” will be con
ducted by female executives from
various corporations around the
state, including a representative
from Southwest Airlines.
Brooks said she expects the ses
sion to cover topics including the
problems men have in reporting
to women, the stereotypes women
have to deal with in the work
place, and the personal sacriFices
women have made for their ca
reers. The problems men and
women face when traveling to
gether will also be discussed.
“Seeking Success” will be in
161 Blocker at 11 a.m. and at 2
p.m. in 307 Blocker. It will focus
on the skills necessary for career
success and will pay special atten
tion to aspects unique to women.
The Deputy City Manager of
the City of Dallas, Dr. Camille
Barnett, will speak at noon
Thursday at a luncheon at the *
Ramada Inn. Her topic will be
“You Are Not Alone.”
The symposium will close with
a panel discussion about “Oppor
tunities and Concerns for
Women in Business” at 4 p.m. at
the Ramada Inn. A reception will
follow.

Results of an opinion survey re
veal a majority of the Texas A&M
students who responded think some
Aggie practices could be considered
hazing.
Results of the survey, which was
conducted by Student Government
last Fall, were released Tuesday by
the Census and Research Commit
tee.
Of the students who responded to
the survey, 52 percent said they con
sider Aggie practices such as motiva
tional excercises, quadding, and pad
dling as the most common types of
hazing.
Other types of hazing listed by the
respondents were standing during
football games, bonfire, and the
flight of the great pumpkin. The
great pumpkin is a Halloween Corps
event during which the juniors in
one outfit try to get a pumpkin to
the south end of the Quadrangle
while band members try to stop him
by smashing the pumpkin.
Because the student and faculty
senates were acting on the survey re
sponses, the poll results were not re
leased until now though the survey
has been in since November.
The Faculty Senate passed an
anti-hazing resolution, said Kim
Norris, director of administration
for Student Government. The reso
lution, however, is just a statement
of the Senate’s opinion, she said.
The Student Senate did not pass a
similar bill, Norris said, because it
thought it would be ineffectual.
“It would require a major uphea
val of the Corps,” she said.
The spring survey, which should
be out to students by Feb. 15, will
probably not continue to discuss the
hazing question because the Student
Senate thinks it is too late to do any
thing about the problem, Norris
said.
“It’s a case of closing the barn
door after the horse has left,” she
said.
The purpose of the survey is to
poll student opinions concerning
A&M issues.
Transportation was another area
covered m last Fall’s survey.
When asked if they would take a
shuttle bus to football games, 29 per
cent of those surveyed said yes, 30
percent said no. Tne question did
not apply to 41 percent of those sur
veyed.
Regarding the grading policy, a
majority of students said they do not
want the current grading system
modified at all, but 17 percent are in
favor of changing the system to add
plus and minus to each letter grade.
Norris said grading policy
changes are being considered by a
Senate committee.
Results of the survey also indi
cated that more students consult the
card catalogue in Sterling C.. Evans
Library before consulting the re
cently installed computer terminals.
Teacher reprimanded; says tying
child to a chair was a ‘mistake’
Associated Press
EL PASO — A second-grade tea
cher reprimanded by school officials
after they learned she tied a student
to a chair says she “made a mistake.”
Cynthia Goodman, 27, said that
list Wednesday and Thursday she
tied a 7-year-old pupil to her chair as
a “reminder” to sit up straight.
“I made a mistake. I should not
have done it,” Goodman said Mon
day in an interview with The El Paso
Times.
The incident, however, has led
Glen Cove Elementary School offi
cials to reprimand Goodman and to
assign the student to another class
room.
The student’s father, Dwight Jef
ferson, said he was furious after
learning about the disciplinary ac
tion from another student’s parents.
Goodman said a jump rope was
tied around the girl’s waist in a “seat
belt-type situation.”
“Tnere was not hatred,” she said.
“It was not done in cruelty, and not
taken (by the children) in cruelty ...
It was not that much a disciplinary
thing. It was a reminder.”
But school Principal Richard Gore
said tying children is not sanctioned
by the school, and it was “an unfor
tunate incident” that will not be re
peated.
Jefferson said his daughter pre
tended to be sick last Friday because
she did not want to return to school.
He said his wife was contacted Sun
day by the parents of another stu
dent in Jardine’s class. That child
had told her parents that Goodman
had tied Jardine to her chair, Jeffer
son said.
“I found out from other people
instead of from the school,” he said.
“As far as a little girl being tied in
front of everybody, I don’t think
that’s right. I’m awfully upset.”
Gore said he did not have a clear
reason why the teacher tied the pu
pil to the chair.
“It’s an unfortunate thing that
happened,” Gore said. “She didn’t
stop to think. It shouldn’t have hap
pened, but it did.”
Goodman said Gore had her sign
a written account of the incident that
will be placed in her file.
