Integrating women into the Corps culture requires changing the atti tudes of both men and women, Ray said. The ideal is to place women in outfits that are accustomed to having women among their ranks, Ray said, but a woman with the correct attitude can succeed in any unit. Last year. Commandant Maj. Gen. Ted Hopgood announced that he wanted all units to be integrated, though he did not set a date for inte gration. Twenty of the 29 units are in tegrated. According to Corps policy, any woman can enter any outfit. Most women, however, choose units that already have female leadership. Outfits with the most women are typically the band units and Air Force squadrons, Ray said. The largest company in the Corps, E-2 — home to A&M’s mascot, Reveille — has 97 members, all men. Last fall, two freshman women were assigned to E-2; one left the Corps before the first day of classes, and the other transferred to another unit for medical reasons. “I’m not saying it’s impossible to integrate them; it just hasn’t been done yet,” Ray said. “I would sus- u I'm not saying it's impossible to integrate them; it just hasn't been done yet.” — Maj. Becky Ray commandant's assistant for gender issues pect little pockets of different types of feelings toward women among the Corps guys. But*it’s a tough is sue. The old Ags have old feelings and old attitudes. They say, ‘there weren’t women when I was here,’ and that has some weight. It’s hard to break those feelings.” However, the Corps has made progress in integrating women, Ray said. Ten years ago, the total number of women in the Corps was less than the number of freshman women re cruits this year. This year. Company E-l lost the last of its junior women cadets. E-l members asked Barron to help advise their freshman women. “It’s not necessarily that they wouldn’t help [the women], but that they don’t know sometimes how to,” Barron said. “There are little things — details like the wear of the uniform — that male upper classmen can’t advise a female freshman on.” How hard a woman tries to be come a part of the Corps will deter mine how women are accepted and perceived within each outfit, and how, in the end, integration will oc cur, Barron said. “You can’t automatically assume they’re going to take you in,” she said. “Day one, my [classmates] didn’t treat me any different than one of the guys. But after we be came buddies and I proved to them that 1 could do what they could do, they treated me kind of different, but better. It’s almost like they look out for me more.” UT Continued from J.
