Saturday
Arthritis is usually
thought of as a disease
of the aged, but
what happens when
you’re 14 years old
and arthritic?
Why aren’t the
comedy-singing duo
of Flo and Eddie on
the radio. The FCC
says no, that’s why.
Both the Leopards
and Leopardettes are
off to a winning start
on their 1975-76
cage seasons.

cording to police department
standards; never travelling at
night alone if possible; not
entering an area of suspicion and
utmost, utilizing the police force.
“Beware of bogus cops coming
to your aid,” Stevenson warned.
“If there is any doubt that the
man helping you may not be a
policeman, demand proof in a
way of a certified badge and
ifentification that you can read
and not a nickle and dime store
bought I.D.,” he added.
Because of new legislation, a
rape trial can be a very private
ordeal and not the embarrassing,
emotional procedure it used to
be.
“However, the rape laws
nationwide are still archaic and
unfair to the women prosecuting
a rapist,” Stevenson added.
As possible rape victims,
Officer Stevenson encourages all
women (and men) to get involved
in the passage of new legislation
involving the amendment of
present rape laws by writing
their congresspersons, partici-
pating in rape prevention
programs, and reporting a
suspected rape as soon as
possible.

In the first session of what Dr.
Marvin R. Felder stated he hopes
will become a continuing dialogue
between himself and the students
of Temple Junior College, the
TJC president pointed out that, in
his eyes, the future of the school
is bright, but not without some
major obstacles in its path.
“It’s a new era for TJC,” said
Dr. Felder, in response to
questions about the college’s
recent growth. “We are deeply
involved in Master Planning. The
growth pattern of the college is
becoming evident.”
Dr. Felder compared figures
for fall enrollment in 1973 and
1975, showing a total enrollment
of 1232 two years ago, as
compared to this year’s 1888
students including the vocational
nursing program.
With those figures totalling a
more than 50 percent increase
excellent, Discussion; and Natalie
Dykowski, superior, Discussion.
TJC also presented a Readers’
Theatre entry in the festival,
directed by Wayne Toone,
director of theatre at TJC. The
entry counted 10 points in
sweepstakes competition.
Students presented “My Side
of the Matter,” written by
Truman Capote. The cast
included Pam Cain, Sandy
Kirsch, Joel Cash and Brenda
Benskin.

over the past two years, Dr.
Felder projected that, without
careful planning, TJC could be
down the road to becoming a
“large, sophisticated, multi-
faceted, complicated institution,
where there is loss of a concern
for the individual student.” The
president reiterated that his
administration is “working to
avoid these pitfalls,” as the
college expanded.
The president fielded questions
for more than an hour from the 15
students and faculty who came to
the backstage theatre for the first
“Rap with the Prez” session, as
advance publicity had billed it.
Dr. Felder said that he was
undaunted by the low turnout,
and hoped that reaction to the
first session would drum up
interest for subsequent “rap
sessions.”
“I am not averse to little things
growing bigger,” Felder added.

First ‘Rap with the Pres.
Session Called Successful
Officer Bruce Stevenson, the Temple Police Department Crime
Prevention Squad’s “rape specialist”, demonstrated methods of
attack with a nervous volunteer, Cheryl Ragsdale. The Rape
Prevention seminar was sponsored by the College Belles. The
Belles’ next program will be a gynecological seminar, in the
backstage theatre, 8 p.m. Tuesday, with Dr. Robert Cummings
speaking on breast self-examination. [Staff Photo]
Forensics Take Fourth Place
TJC Forensics students earned
fourth place sweepstakes honors
ai the 28th Annual Forensics

University in San Marcos, Nov.
15.

dents from 35 colleges and
universities from throughout
Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana and
Arkansas, including the Univer-
sity of Texas and the University of
Houston.

Rape Specialist
Officer Says Prevention
Is Best ‘Cure’ For Rape
By Liz Skelton
Staff Writer
A lecture on rape prevention,
sponsored by the College Belles,
was held Nov. 11, at 6 p.m. with
guest speaker Temple Police
Department Officer Bruce
Stevenson.
Describing himself as Temple’s
“rape specialist” in the crime
prevention section of the police
department, Officer Stevenson
demonstrated the means by
which a woman could physically
resist the rapist, but he strongly
stressed the importance of
talking one’s way out of a rape,
without “losing one’s cool,” and a
life along with it.
By using one’s head and going
along, even prompting a rapist,
the rapist either may lose
interest (being that two out of
four rapists are actually sadists
out for the thrill of seeing women
suffering) or he may be prone to
the woman’s suggestions and at
the opportune moment she could
escape the rapist, said Steven-
son.
To prevent a position where a
woman needs to defend herself,
Officer Sevenson suggests pro-
perly safeguarding homes ac-

Taking questions from the floor, TJC President Dr. Marvin R.

schedules further into the
afternoon, and extending the
evening hours. Secondly, addi-
tional buildings could be built,
but the monetary ramifications of
such projects pose an additional
set of problems, Dr. Felder said.
“Another possibility, and one
we highly discount,” he said “is
the possibility of having to limit
enrollment.”
“This could become a reality
far sooner than we would like,”
he added. “Allied Health is
saturated. Our secretarial science
programs are running full almost
round the clock. Classes close
quickly during registration.”
Dr. Felder said that numerous
projects included in the Master
Plan are designed to alleviate
these forthcoming problems, but
“if it were always up to TJC,
things would move a lot faster
than they now do,” citing that
outside construction firms and
other forms of red tape always
seem to hold up progress.
“We made a start,” Dr. Felder
said at the end of the session,
with an eye toward further
sessions.
