experiences with female buddies in
the past, Barron said.
“They think, ‘we don’t want them
‘cause we don’t want to deal with
them,’ ’’she said.
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-

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.”
