Farr.• gender identity key
Roles may be problem
By STACY KRUSCH
Daily Collegian Staff Writer
The most severe kinds of problems in
our society are those of gender identity,
Jo-Ann Hunter Farr said in a speech
Friday sponsored by the Homophiles of
Penn State.
Farr, a clinical psychologist, defined
gender identity as the private ex
perience of one's gender role.
"Problems in gender identity can start
as young as 4 and 5 years old, while some
encounter problems even after they
already have been married," Farr said.
A person with a gender identity conflict
does not feel comfortable in his or her
body, she said.
"A person like this has one body, but
psychologically they experience
themself as the other sex," Farr said.
Sometimes there is a reason, she said.

Other times it is a mystery why people
have the feeling that they are in the
wrong body. Problems can occur in the
early development of the fetus that will
cause gender identity conflicts later in
life, she said.
The minute a child is born the doctor
stares between the child's legs and
determines its sex, shouting either
"boy" or "girl" throughout the delivery
room, Farr said, and from that moment
on behavioral treatment is determined.
Names and colors are chosen ac
cordingly, and the gender role of the
newborn has been established, Farr
said. The child has fallen into the gender
role that later may prove to be un
suitable and therefore cause
psychological and emotional problems.

may prove successful," Farr said. 'lt
provides the physiological changes
necessary to make the body agree with
how the person feels, she said.
This alternative is usually extremely
expensive, but for some it may be the
only alternative, she said.
"There is long term and extensive
psychotherapy prior to this type of
surgery. No one does it just for kicks.
"After the surgery there still are
problems. Problems with family and
friends are some of the most common.
There is also the need for counseling
because of frequent severe depression,"
Farr said.
"Hope for the future is that research
will go on in hope that the success of
these operations will become even
greater than it is now," she said.

Rep. to revise legislation for renovations
By PHILIP GUTIS
Daily Collegian Staff Writer
4I State Rep. Gregg Cunningham, R-
Centre Region, has said he will be
introducing revised legislation to
provide the University with $2 million
to fund federally required building
renovations for handicapped persons.
Cunningham said that. when he was
getting ready to introduce his original
amendment to provide the University
with $1.5 million, he ran into op
position from the chairman of the
House Appropriations Committee,
ichard McClatchy, R-Montgomery
County, and the governor's office.
* A ' problem arose with stan
, dardization of the figures that had
been submitted to Cunningham and
the figures the state-owned schools
had provided to the governor; he said.

money needed for the state-owned
schools were determined by
engineers from the state Department
of Education, Cunningham said.
"The Department of Education
engineers had not had the opportunity
to confirm that the same standards
and specifications that had been
employed to work up the figures in
the bill for the state-owned schools
may or may not have been used to
work up the figures for the state
related institutions," he said.
His new bill, would grant the
University $2 million and lesser
amounts to the other state-related
schools Pitt, Temple and Lincoln
to make buildings more easily ac
cessible to handicapped people, he
said.

bill, recently enacted by Congress,

especially campuses of educational
institutions, to renovate buildings to
accommodate handicapped persons,
Cunningham said.
The original amendment and the
new legislation are necessary
because, for some unknown reason,
the state-related universities were
not included in the original bill,
Cunningham said.
However, the state should also be
required to fund the renovations to
the state-related universities because
buildings on those campuses are also
owned by the General State
Authority, he said.
"It is important, in light of the fact
that the Commonwealth of Penn
sylvania owns these buildings, that
the Commonwealth help defray the
costs of making these renovations,"
Cunningham said.

universities and engineers from the
Department of Education has been
set up to decide on the amount of
money needed to complete the
renovations, he said.
Cunningham said he plans to in
troduce a separate bill which will
provide the funding for the state
related universities, once figures
agreeable to the Department of
Education are determined.
The figures on which Cunningham
based his last amendnient were
estimates provided by the schools,
which have now been re-evaluated.
Penn State would require $2
million, Pitt $l.l million, Temple
$790,000 and Lincoln $350,000 to
comply with the federal legislation,
he said.
Those figures were determined by
the schools and are subject to change

Police list possible arson
as cause of apartment fire
About 30 residents evacuated their
three-story apartment building at 754 W.
Whitehall Rd. when a basement fire
caused heavy smoke early Sunday
morning, Dave Hamilton of the Alpha
Fire Company said.
The State College Police Department,
which listed the possible cause of the fire
as arson, said that the fire is under in
vestigation.
Alpha firefighters responded to the
call at 2:30 a.m. and remained at the
scene for one and a half hours, Hamilton
said.
The residents evacuated the building
when a house alarm system went off. No
one was inside when the firefighters
arrived, he said.
No injuries were reported and the
residents were allowed back in the
building a short while later. The smoke
caused moderate damage, he said.
