The 197 items thus were
boiled down to 60 and finally
to 20. In the process, it was
found that the best items
seemed to break themselves
down into three categories.
Thus sexism, Drs. Rom-
bough and Ventimiglia say,
is a “tri dimensional pheno-
menon.” The three areas are!
external decision-making, in- / than to have a career herself,
ternal decision-making and
innate sex differences.

Students can get credit for
losing this fall at Tarrant
County Junior College South
Campus.
They can do so by regist-
ering for POP--acronym for
“pounds off people.” The
one-hour credit course can
be substituted for one of two
health/physical education
courses.
Three members of the
TCJC faculty teach the class,
representing disciplines of
home economics, physical ed-
ucation and psychology.
They are Carol Miller, Ins-
tructor of Health, Physical
Education and Recreation;
Jo Bagley, Associate Profes-
sor of Home Economics, and
Paula Harbour, Counselor
and Assistant Professor of
Psychology.
They came up with the
idea of offering the class
after observing thousands of
people, semester after se-
mester, in registration who
ought to be enrolling in a
class designed to lead to
weight loss.
Introduced on a pilot basis
in the spring, the class
attracted men and women
students between the ages of
18 and 60. In fact, this first
group came up with the
acronym “POP”.
“This is a fun, non-threa-
tening class; in the physical
education classes, they can
wear slacks instead of suit-
ing out if they want to,” Ms.
Miller said.
The teachers said they
don’t stress how much
weight is lost during a
semester, but rather are
concerned about stressing
behavior modification...giv-
ing students both informa-
tion and skills they need to
achieve acceptable weights.
In come cases, years are
needed.

AUSTIN — Southwestern
Bell Telephone Company got
only $124 million of the
$214 million rate hike it re-
quested through the Public
Utility Commission.
, PUC in a two-to-one deci-
sion cut the Bell request by
$89.8 million following a
lengthy hearing and consid-
eration.
Some phone bills in homes
actually may be decreased as
a result of the final PUC
order.
The agency’s order set up
an experimental residential
measured rate or “lifeline”
service for 15 cities on an
optional basis. The service is
supposed to be available
within six months of imple-
mentation of the order.
On customers’ request the
new rating plan reportedly
could lower basic $6.50
monthly bills to a bottom of
$4.20 in the Austin area, for
.< example. The minimum mea-
sured rate would vary from
$3.30 for one rate group to
$5 for the Houston metro
area.
Commissioner Garrett

final order, claiming Bell had what unhappily, rejected the
appointment of Hugh Yantis

chairman.

There are five possible
resonses to each question -
strongly agree, agree, no
opinion, disagree, strongly
disagree. Scores range from
one (for an answer of strong-
ly agree) to five (for the
answer of strongly disagree)
on questions 1,2, 5, 6 and 15.
On the rest of the questions,
an answer of strongly agree
is worth five points, with the
scale going to one point for
strongly disagree.
The higher the point total,
the more sexist the person
taking the test.
So what does it mean if
your score is 58? Only that
you’re more sexist in outlook
than somebody who scores
57, say the sociologists.
“We haven’t drawn up any
kind of a scale that says if
you score above a certain
number you’re a chauvanist
pig,” laughed Dr. Rom-
bough.” “We simply measure
each person’s score against
the scores of the other
people we interview.”
“This class is for students
who have truly serious
health and weight pr-
oblems,” Ms. Bagley said.
The teachers indicate that
self-confidence is achieved
by students after study and
individual conferences.
“Too. many people don’t
know HOW to exercise be-
cause of ‘put down’ exper-
iences years ago,” Ms. Miller
said, “We are here to say,
‘come on, you can do it.’”
Trying new things, they
believe carries over into the
area of nutrition, where too
many people eat a limited
variety of food, maybe 15 out
of 10,000 available at the
foodstore. They learn what
they are getting for their
money, for their health and
for their needs.
Another feature is guest,
speakers, some of whom
have lost 80-100 pounds.
“During the trial semest-
er, we learned something
about what accomplishment
really is,” Ms. Harbour said,
“toward the end of the
semester, students would
look at themselves in the
mirror of the dance studio.”

How would you rank on a
sexism scale if a score of one
is Maude and 100 is Archie
Bunker?
Two University of Texas
at Arlington sociology pro.
fessors have devised their
own version of “20 quest-
ions.” It’s a test designed to
measure sexist attitudes.
Drs. Shirley Rombough
and Joseph Ventimiglia
drew up the test as a tool to
use in their research into the
effect of certain variables -
such as sexist attitudes - on
the decision-making power
within a family.
“We needed a scale to
measure sexism,” said Dr.
Rombough, “but when we
went over all the existing
sexism scales, we found that
most of them had one flaw or
another. Some were too
long; some were very hard
to administer; some were
very repetitious; some mea-
sured only one specific phen-
omenon, such as academic
sexism.”
So the researchers collect-
ed questions from every
sexism test they could find,
added a few of their own and
gave a pre-test of 197 items
to a broad sample of about
150 people. They submitted
the result to a computer
process called “factor and
analysis.” This entailed find-
ing the questions that corre-
lated well with each other
and eliminating those that
were vague in meaning or
which drew widely diver-
Krueger poll, showing gent responses.
