THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
HOUSTON — A two-week
symposium on sexual taboos is
not tne usual academic fare spon
sored by Rice University.
But some academics say the
time for gender studies has come,
and a peep at sexual roles and
practices is needed.
"A Symposium on Perver
sions," Rice s cross-cultural look
at abnormal gender behavior and
taboo sexual practices was wind
ing up Monday night with panels
discussing everything from the
Texas sodomy law to transvestites
and transsexuals.
Critics say such events are ex
amples of political correctness
gone amuck.
But organizers say the sympo
sium subject reflects a changing
society, one that made a movie
like '’The Crying Game," an
overnight sensation.
"It's important for people to
understand their assumptions
rather than simply take them for
granted," said Colleen Lamos, a
Rice assistant professor of English
and creator of the symposium. 1
want to show the cultural relativi
ty and plurality of what's beet
called perversion throughout hi}
tory."
Among some of the topics db
cugsed ^ere Andy Warhol's sexu
ality and the dominant-submis
sive roles irrlesbian relationships
Rice isw'-Mhe first Houston-aisi
school to focus on gender roles,
The University of Houston, fc
instance, this year became Texas
first school to offer a class ot
gays: discrimination law and sex
ual orientation.

Chemical plant defumes repugnant odors
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BORGER — Noses that catch a whiff from Phillips
Petroleum Co.'s chemical plant these days aren't suf
fering too badly.
Thanks to a new loading system, fugitive fumes
are being deodorized in a high-tech bath that scrubs
the air particles before shooting them outside.
The $2 million "mercaptan dock odor, control
scrubber system" reduces by 97.5 percent the foul
smelling compounds that used to escape, said
Phillips process engineer Todd Vollick.
"It's a big improvement to our workers and our
community,' said Pete Stynes, operations manager
at the Philtex Plant of Phillips' Borger complex. "We
did this just because we want to reduce the odors.
We're not required by law."
Philtex workers make and load mercaptans,
which are synthesized versions of natural stinks like
garlic, onion and skunk spray. Philtex ships themer
captans to companies around the world that injecl
the products as a safety measure into natural gas,
which has no odor.
Philtex's old loading method allowed some stink)
fumes to escape around the nozzles that fit into®
ventional 55-gallon drums.
But since January, the loading has taken place in
side closed booths that suck up escaping fumes into
a scrubber.
Inside the scrubber, blowers shoot the fumes
through pipes, up a stack and into a bleach solution
A chemical reaction occurs between the bleach and
the mercaptans, deodorizing the air, Vollick said.
The heavy, oily residue left behind is sent to
Phillips' refinery, he said.
Take part in a Texas A&M tradition!
