He’ll proudly drag out boxes stuff ed with more than 600 re sponses to personal advertisements similar to the one above. I One of his most memorable re sponses: “She compared what she wanted in a man to a rooster. She didn’t care how much he went to the barnyard as long as he came home to roost.” ■ Said Murphy, “That’s not what I’m looking for." H What he is looking for is a “dis placed country gal.” H It was something his father had no trouble finding. But the right farm spouse is becoming increasingly rare in much of rural America, he said. all performance; — — n, * Schubert for.studems.Tidl ied at the MSCsl er Tower. ine, presidentolJ udem Council, sJ d at the special;/; ril 24 willbeusall ir the College ofli the theater artsjj be benefit petfonl or non-students a us. y igence wide inter- 'gy from ication, id prototype lity for ne develop- tique bit-slice :ipher d purely e full use of skills to deral fringe (continued from page 1) lilestlye, but they were very suppor tive. ■ “There’s a lot the Corps has to Offer that others don’t see, especially the civilian women,” Schubert says. “When I talk with civilian women they say, ‘Yea, I looked at the Corps. I thought about it, but I didn’t think there was a place for me.’ Well, there is. ■ “Someone said once that they ; wouldn’t want their son to pass up the leadership training that the Corps |||as to offer.

There’s a lot to 1 offer here to not just men, but also to women.” ■ If A&M hadn’t been her Universi ty, she says, she might have chosen something different. I “1 probably would have done just as well in a sorority, but you make a decision and stick with it,” she says. Tin happy where I am. If I were at I, another university, I probably would have looked more at a sorority, but It’s just that A&M and the Corps appealed to me more.” |i In the past, Schubert says, male T cadets discouraged women from be coming involved in the Corps and that’s why it’s taken so long to have a woman on the staff. 1; “I think it was intimidation in the past because the girls weren’t accepted,” Schubert says, “and so no- _body had the confidence and the de sire to be up there . . . Everyone thinks change is negative. In the case of the Corps, change, if you’re open- minded, can be positive. They’re trying to focus their attention on making the Corps more profes sional.” s; Part of that professionalism, I Schubert says, includes the accept ance of women. She says the attitude of male cadets toward women in the ; Corps has changed even in the two P years she has been at A&M: 1' “Even from when I was a freshman it’s changed. It’s hard to imagine I what it was like when women first got ! into the Corps. From last year to this p year there has been a definite change in that I just don’t receive negative responses from the guys anymore. But there are still a few.” 1 Some of the negative responses originated after Melanie Zentgraf filed a suit against the University be cause she was denied membership in Corps groups such as the Ross Volun- ; teers and the Aggie Band. That suit ? was filed in 1979. I “When the case came up there was a lot of hostility and negative reaction toward the girls,” Schubert says. “It | was focused on the wrong people. It f .really wasn’t our fight. It wasn’t the girls in the Corps. We weren’t fight ing for anything ... If a woman wants to join the band, that’s her privilege. I’m not going to recruit women to join the band, and I’m not going to stop women from joining the band. It’s each person’s choice.” The Battalion Number One in Aggieland PUMA MEN’S AND LADIES’ FIRST SERVE LEATHER TENNIS SHOES Acadeitiy Reg.
