Exhibit: Gender roles, fashion change togetli
Continued from Page 1
another popular exhibit features a talking
G.I Joe figure with a high-pitched voice and
a gruff-voiced Barbie, an idea created by a
group of performance artists called the Bar
bie Liberation Organization.
“People play it all the time and laugh,”
she said. “It’s funny when you hear Barbie
say, ‘Vengeance is mine,’ and G.I. Joe say,
‘Shopping is fun.’ The dolls get [viewers] to
think about the voices on the talking dolls
and things we absorb as children and then
accept as fact.”
Hastedt said the exhibit attempts to por
tray how gender roles and fashion
change together.
“The exhibit intends to make people
aware that these barriers are there — how
clothing changes and how roles change,”
Hastedt said.
Women’s clothing during the 19th century
reflected the ideal woman’s role in the domes
tic realm. Women wore corsets, restrictive un
dergarments meant to narrow the torso and
high-heeled shoes to appear feminine.
“To them, ‘real women’ get married, have
children,” Hasdedt said. “She was a feminine
woman—motherly. ”
With women moving into the working
world, the fashion gap has narrowed. Jill
Buckner, a senior biomedical science major.
said women’s appearance has grow:
to men’s because individuality has be
greater part of culture.
“Women can wear men’s clothes,::
never know it,” she said.

ry department, said clothing curtailet

TUNNEL: PCs will replace

various aerodynamic parame
ters,” Nicks said. “The comput
ers take those measurements,
make corrections and transfer
them into engineering terms so
we can use them for design.”
Gregory Steen, wind tunnel
research specialist, said person
al computers will be purchased
to replace the current minicom
puter and terminals.
Steen said the terminals and
the minicomputer purchased in
1984 are old and expensive to
repair.
“Technology has changed so
much since then,” Steen said.
“We’re just trying to take advan
tage of the new technologies that
are out there now.”
Steen said the computers will
be faster, more accurate and will
save money, Steen said, new in
strumentation and scales are
also on the way.
Steen said the new equipment
should be in place by the end of
the summer. There will be a
transition period when person
nel will make sure the new
equipment is working and run
ning accurately, he said.
Steen said the industry will
benefit as a whole from Navis-
tar’s contributions.
Nicks said different vehicles
and structures are tested in the
tunnel for the aerodynamic af
fects of travelling through wind.
Designs are developed to im
prove the fuel efficiency of
trucks and to reduce the drag of
the wind, which is affected by
the truck’s shape, he said.
“We can make measurements
on different changes, and engi
neers can use it to design more
efficient trucks,” he said.
Nicks said tests also are being
made for NASA on the space
shuttle’s landing configurations.
“They are trying to refine their
control capability with the cross-
wind conditions,” Nicks said.
The wind tunnel is also used
to test airplane designs, new he
licopter configurations for Bell
Helicopter, offshore oil-drilling
platforms, buildings, bicycles,
wings and various components
on Indianapolis 500 racing cars,
he said.
Nicks said aside from all the
work done for industry, they also
do basic research and training for
students in engineering classes.
“The first reason we’re here is
to train engineers,” he said. “Re
search has always been a good
way to learn.”
The research and develop
ment applies to real-world prob
lems, he said.
“The University helps the in
dustry by offering this capability
to improve their products,”
Nicks said. “Better U.S. products
means the better competitive po
sition for the country on an in
ternational basis.”
UT: Hazing investigation contin
Continued from Page 1
Dr. Sharon H. Justice, UT
dean of students and assistant
vice president for student af
fairs, said she criticizes the
Cowboys for their actions while
they were still on probation for
a hazing incident that occurred
last spring.
“The university has made it
! very clear on numerous occa
sions that it will not tolerate
hazing,” Justice said. “In re
cent years we have officially
warned and penalized the
Cowboys for hazing. For this
to have occurred while the
group is still on probation
from last year’s spring pad-
• dling incident is inexcusable."
The suspension was levied
after university officials inter
viewed more than 40 of the
Texas Cowboys about "Picnic,”
an initiation gathering, and
determined that underage
I pledges purchased and con-
I sumed alcohol, were paddled
and ate hot dogs covered
with tobacco.
Representatives for the
Texas Cowboys could not be
reached for comment.
Justice said the Cowboy’s
: punishment was the most severe
punishment the university gives.
“The cancellation of a
I group’s registration is the most
severe penalty that can be
levied, and only the fourth time
it has been used,” Justice said.
