Discrimination
(from page 1)
how, if the millenium is to ever
arrive, men and women must
learn that "Anatomy is not
destiny." The anatomy-is-
destiny strain occurs in such
diverse areas as women's low
scores on math aptitude tests
as they grow older. As people
age, and this often includes the
most liberal males, hey begin
to fit into the slots society has
created for them. Soon they
come to accept the status quo,
believing that "What is must
be all right."
Sacred texts and orthodox
religions, of whatever sort, are
the chief agents of sexual
repression. The s-urprising
thing, Gordon said, is that
women support the churches.
"If they left, the churches
would collapse." In churches
people are taught that sex is
dirty and messy and awful.
"Well it isn't if you do it right,"
he suggested.
Sexism pervades even the
most 'liberated' elements of
our society. Hugh Hefner's
fantasy world is the precipi-
tation of the years of hypocrisy
and leers and repression with
which all men of the past 2000
years have been indoctrinated.
Gordon concluded his talk
with an impassioned oration
against the nascent Houston-
based Citizens Against
Pornography. "These guys are
trying to take away your fun.
And you shouldn't let them."
The next meeting of the
RASASD will be Sunday at
4pm in Hanszen Commons.
Mindy Carson, president, says
the meeting will deal with a
few internal procedural
matters, fundraising and
future activities.
Graduation

The Student Association
sponsored representative
from Star Engraving

February 4, 1977, 9:00 AM-
3:00 PM, to take orders for
graduation announce-
ments. Students placing
orders will be required to
make a $5.00 deposit.

The Rice Owls will be a
contender again for the SWC
Indoor title won last year by
Baylor. Coach Bob May's
Owls have had some good
performances each year in the
big event, and should do well
this time out.
Baylor and Texas naturally
will be top contenders since
they are defending 1976 SWC
indoor and outdoor titlists and
return many standout
performers. But Rice and
Texas A&M will have several
strong entries, and two teams
especially to watch closely are
Arkansas and University of
Houston. The Razorbacks
have the most spotlighted
performer in Irish Olympian
Niall O'Shaughnessy who
recently ran the second fastest
indoor mile in history (3:55.4).
UH under new coach Tom
Tellez has recruited heavily
with standout frosh, JC's, and
celebrated transfer from LSU
sprinter Greg Edmond, who
upset Harvey Glance two
weeks ago. Texas Tech, SMU,
Tennis season opens
The Rice Tennis team opens
their season today with a team
match tournament at Lamar
University in Beaumont.
The tournament marks the
debut of Chip Travis as the
new head tennis coach at his
alma mater for the official
spring season, although the
ex-Owl player has been
working with his players since
fall and they have been in
several tournaments as
individual entries. Travis
played on the standout Rice
teams of the mid-sixties that
finished consistently in the
national Top Ten. He came
from his home state of Florida
ad a pro teaching job to replace
another ex Owl, Jimmy
Parker, who has gone to a top
pro club job in Houston.
The format of the three-day
event calls for a round robin of
9-match team tournaments
among five schools for a total
of four team matches each
Thursday through Saturday
and the team with the most
points wins. Entries besides
Rice and Host Lamar
Cardinals are Texas A&M,
McNeese State of Louisiana,
and East Texas State
University.
Opening home match for
the Owls at Jake Hess Tennis
Stadium on the Rice campus is
with Houston Baptist U. on
February 16th.
NOTES
Swimming—Rice and
Arkansas are at TCU this
Friday for a men's and
women's triangular meet.
Saturday, Rice and Lamar U.
will compete at Austin college
in another Triangular meet,
men and women. Last
Tuesday, the women's team
swam a triangular meet here
against Lamar U. and Lee
College. The scores were
Lamar 60, Rice 48; Rice 75, Lee
19; and Lamar 67, Lee 13.

More Intramurals-The
deadline for entries in a
plethora of intramural sports,
including softball, is still Feb.
11 at 3pm.
and TCU all have good
pointmaker potential. No one
team of the nine is a clear
favorite.
May and Straub were
pleased with season opener
showings by several Owls in
last weekend's Northeast
Louisiana Indoor meet at
