Martone said costumes will be
checked prior to the, race to guard
'against anything "excessively
obscene."
Last year, the Nittany Divers won
- the division for their "Spermy the

Martone said the biggest problem
'with the race is handling the mass of
spectators. Last year's 'race drew a
crowd of about 25,000 and, Martone
said, he expects about the same to

End of the town and gown conflicts

By ALECIA SWASY
Collegian Staff Writer
Although conflicts between town
and gOwn have always existed,
students, faculty and businessmen
need to realize their economic in

researcher said.
Jerry Davis, director of research
and policy analysis for the Pennsyl

Agency, said all of these groups
need to work together for the bene
fit of all.

"We try to have our student
marshals control the crowd and then
if there's a problem bring in the
police," Aichele said.
Aichele is once again asking stu
dents to behave responsibly because
"the crowd's behavior very much
determines if there will be another
race next year." He said that each
year when the event chairmen ask
the State College Municipal Council
for a race permit, the council reviews
performance of previous events and
considers any problems before grant
ing the permit.
"(The race) only remains a tradi
tion as long as the students cooper
ate," he said.
Aichele said event chairmen are
very aware of their responsiblity to
the community. Because the race's
downtown route affects State College
residents, he said everything possible
Town Day,, an event designed to
bring the University students and
the community together.
Members of a community in
which a university is located have a
history of conflict, he said.
Conflict between the town and
gown is an age-old struggle be
tween the "haves" and the "have
nots," Davis said.
College students see themselves
as temporary residents and perma
nent residents of the community
consider them outsiders, Davis
said.

He wants the community to know
"we're not promoting a drunken day

I To help prove this, he said adver
tisements on alcohol awareness were
placed in The Daily Collegian this
past week and Fran Fisher spoke in
radio spots about having a good time
at the Phi Psi races while acting with
responsibility.
The advertisements "show that
we're concerned that there is much
alcohol in the town that day and that
we want to do something about it,"
Martone said.
Race problems in the past have
included disagreement about starting
time. The Downtown Business Asso
ciation last year asked that tomor
row's race start at 3 p.m. to allow for
a longer business day.
Aichele said this controversy arises
every year but starting the race later

common interests and shared va
lues," he said.
Also, when higher education
opened up to people from all back
grounds and walks of life, the inter
dependency between colleges and
communities increased, Davis
said.
"Colleges are no longer ivory
towers," he said. "They are an
integral part of society."
Davis said the University's con
tribution to the area is "well in
excess of the economic burden pre
sented to the county and state."

OTIS holds 10th annual Town Day
By'MICHAEL NEWNAM
Collegian Staff Writer
The importance of a close interpersonal relationship
between students, the University and State College busi
nesses was stressed yesterday at the Organization for
Town Independent-Students' 10th annual Town Day.
Student Trustee Paul Bell said Town Day is an impor
tant function which shows that community members can
"live harmoniously yet respect everyone's wants and
needs."
"Thirty years ago this couldn't have happened," Bell
said. "I think it would be good if all we do is get together
once a year and look each other straight'in the eyes and
not blink."
ToWn Day brings together invited students and commu
nity members to discuss issues concerning the two groups.
The event, was held at the Sheraton Penn State Inn, 240 S.
Pugh St.
Bell jokingly said former students communicated with
officials 'through sit-ins, Old Main protests and nasty
editorials, but had little or no success in receiving a
of the 1982 race. "It's not just some
thing we throw together the week
before; we put a lot of thought
work into it."
Aichele said 13 committees and' a
"100 percent effort" on the part of the
entire fraternity is needed to organize
Race causes CATA changes
The Centre Area Transportation
Authority will detour buses on its
X-Nittany Mall and P-Pugh Street
routes Saturday because of the Phi
Psi 500.
From 11:30 a.m. until about 5
p.m., both routes will depart from
the parking lot in the 100-block of
West Beaver Avenue, instead of
Schlow Memorial Library, 100 E.
Beaver Ave.
The buses on the X-Nittany Mall
route will serve all regular bus
favorable response. The University would usually answer
the students by sending the National Guard or confuse the
students "by using words we don't understand," Bell said.
"Students now communicate with cordial and informed
discussion," he said. '
Bell said minority enrollment, the quality of student off
campus housing and rising tuition and rent costs are
topics which must be dealt with soon by the University and
State College community.
"(State College) can be a very inhospitable community
to minority groups," he said. "We must recognize this as a
real problem."
"This is a town that stands for learning. These are the
types of struggles we have to deal with."
Bell said he will have only fond memories of State
College when he leaves.
"I'll always consider myself an absentee member of this
community," he said. "Keep it magi Cal."
OTIS also made University President John W. Oswald
an honorary member with a plaque that celebrated his
being present at the first Town Day; 10 years ago.

'rof's survey looks at relationships of men to women
By LAURA J. WOOD
Collegian Staff Writer
Women are treated as sex symbols and are doing
nothing more than "just talking about it" to correct the
image, said Gerald M. Phillips, professor of speech
comunications.
Phillips conducted a survey to find out attitudes and
relationships of men to women. From his findings, he said
he believes men do not like women and women do not like
themselves.
"Women are not going to advance unless they stop
becoming sexual patsies," he said
Phillips has researched male and female differences
and relationships. He co-authored two books that were
published this year, "Loving and Living: Improving Your
Friendships and Marriage," with H. Lloyd Goodall; and
"Communication and Human Relationships," with Julia
T. Wood.
His research indicates that there has been little change
in the way men and women treat each other during recent
years. He reached this,conclusion from results of a.survey
he published fr in "Intimate Communication," and "Loving
and Living."
Phillips sees a dehumanization of women and a decline
in the women's fight for equality
"Somebody's got to pick it up and get it started again,"
Phillips said referring to the women's movement.
Most women marry and change their careers from a
paying job to the unsalaried work of a housewife. "There
are hundreds of women all over the place whose talent is
going unused," he said.
Women usually work as secretaries and aides, receiving
little credit for the help and work they do, he said. Women
account for 99 percent of all secretaries, 98 percent of all
dental assistants, and only 3 percent of all engineers.
He said he believes employers do not consider women
for high positions in companies
"Women who want to enter the work force have to get
tough to do the business that men do," he said. "I think it
would be delightful if women were more aggressive. They
have proved that they can raise a family and work at the
same time."
Phillips said women are supporting their sex symbol
roles by buying magazines such as "Glamour" and
"Cosmopolitan."
One big difference between men and women that Phil
lips found was that men do not know how to ask for help
when they need it. Because the stereotypical male role
includes not admitting weaknesses, they are afraid to
admit when they are sick
If a man and a woman contract an illness, such as
cancer, at the same time, a woman will see a d6ctor
immediately, but the typical male will wait a couple of
months, he said.
Males have more sicknesses, such as ulcers and heart
attacks, than females. When women get into the male
attack competitive pattern, Phillips said, their illnesses
also increase.
Phillips said that men suffer from the anxieties and
tensions of a competitive world
"Men also try to be the most valuable player and tend to
sacrifice their individuality," he said.
"The world is not pretty for men." Phillips said. "(Men

get) a stiff neck by seeing who's trying to catch up with
(them)." ,
Besides men seeing each other as competitors, they are
also threatened by women and deal with this by keeping
women in subservient roles, he said.
"Nudging, picking, poking and pinching," are ways men
attempt to keep women in this role in personal as well as
work relations.
"If you keep a woman in a sexual role," Phillips said,
PSU's gender role course revived after 5 years
By LAURA J. WOOD
Collegian. Staff Writer
Some students complain that courses they take may not
be relevant to their future careers. But, after five years of
dormancy, the University has revived a course that does
benefit a student throughout his life, which centers on
relationships with friends, employees, siblings andyaren
ts.
In Speech Communication 455 Gender Role, Gerald
M. Phillips, professor of speech communication, said in
the course he explores social influences, problems and
solutions for sex differences.
needcourse also addresses subjects such as why people
need relationships, the nature of relationships, marriage,
sisterhood and sex.
About 40 students in the class analyze relationship
themes in magazines, books, television and music.
The University has scheduled Phillips to teach the
course again next fall.
"It may become a thriving operation," Phillips said
Students have varied opinions about the course.
"You realize that what actually goes on underneath a
relationship is very complicated when you begin to study
it" said Michelle Verilla (12th-speech communications).
"I see ways that some of my relationships could have
changed if I only knew about these things," she said.
Steve Shanus (12th-speech communications) said Phil
lips is trying to give women confidence and "bring women
out of the closet."
"Phillips' main attribute is that he can role play,"
Shanus said. "He would have been a great vaudeville
actor."
The students in the class must write three papers in
which they express arguments, disagreements, obser
vations, or questions about the material in lectures. These
papers are shared anonymously with the class in the form
of a newsletter. Students are also tested on definitions of
terms discussed in class.
In the newsletter, Phillips responds to the arguments
and comments made. Some students write that they are
unsure about what material they should take note of.
Phillips response was: "Take notes on what interests
you."
"This material is worthless unless you personalize it,"
he said. "There are no facts," he said, "only issues and
opinions."

"she is less likely to compete with, you." This is the
attitude that most males have, he said.
Men will also use women to boost their egos.
The problems between men and women are getting
worse, Phillips said. Economic conditions are frightening
men, and women are having problems getting jobs in
higher paying occupations.
Today 90 percent of those earning $25,000 a year or more
are white males.
On his defense for his class and test structure, Phillips
tells the story about a University student who is about to
graduate. The student said to Phillips: "I am about to
graduate and go out in the world and I can handle any
problems as long as they are in multiple choice form."
"You can do whatever you want to do," Phillips said,
"as long as you can demonstrate it's worth doing."
Verilla said: "I wouldn't recommend this course to
somebody who just wanted to take it for a blow-off course.
I would recommend it to someone who deserves to learn
`You realize that what actually goes
on underneath a relationship is very
complicated when you begin to
study it.'
this information."
Verilla said Phillips takes a unique approach to the
subject.
"But I wonder if he is fair," she said, "I think he would
be more accurate if he didn't proclaim that he's a
chauvinist."
Phillips' response to his chauvinism in the newsletter
was "I can't help it. I was raised as a bigot. Weren't we
all?"
Phillips said this course is taught in the speech commu
nication department because talking is the best way to
discover what is going on in another's head. Communica
tion is the best way to discover and evaluate the norms of
society, he said.
"Talk is the cliche of our existence," he said.
Ellen Miller (12th-speech communications) said, "I
came in the class with no real feelings about the problems
of women."
And Miller said: "After the first class I had a different
viewpoint." Women have a lot of problems in the working
field, she added.
It is unusual for a man to be teaching a course which
deals a lot with the problems that women face, Phillips
said.

The typical woman is "stuck in the house, assembling
components or working as a secretary, earning 59 percent
less pay then men. Her alimony has been taken away, and
she has trouble getting credit," Phillips said.
Phillips, who also works as a marriage counselor, sajd
couples have a tendency to blame each other for these and
other problems. They do not realize when they seek his
help that the problems they encounter are normal.
"I may not be the appropriate person, but I sure have
the information," he said.
"Phillips is the only man I know who understands the
problems that women face," said Cynthia Begnal, a
graduate student in speech communication and one of
Phillips' assistants.
Phillips has written a number of books on problems . of
communication. "Loving and Living: Improve your
Friendships and Marriage" was published this year. This
book was based on a survey conducted last year.
From an in-class survey that Phillips gave ,to his
students, he concluded that women see themselves a§
show pieces. In the survey, he asked the men and women
to name four famous women. The women in the clas
named Jane Fonda, Jackie Onassis, Nancy Reagan,
Elizabeth Taylor and Diana, Princess of Wales very
attractive celebrities, or relatives of someone famous.
However, the men mentioned women who are more
career-oriented such as tennis player Chris Everett Lloyd
and Supreme Court judge Sandra Day O'Connor.
In interpreting the results, Phillips said attractiveness
is more important to some women than perseverance and
intelligence.
Phillips is now surveying the 50 students in his class, as
well 100 men and 100 women employees of a southern
technical company, to try to determine the social differ
ences between sexes and ages. He plans to publish the
results in two years.
This is the first time that University students haVe
participated in this survey. Phillips wanted to obtain
younger people's opinions to determine changes in social
values.
The survey asks people to rate the value of certain
activities, describe past and present relationships, arid
respond to certain opinionated statements. Examples olg
survey questions are:
• In each pair, which would you choose for an evening's
fun? 1. Being alone to read, paint, play music. 2. Sex;
• Do you agree with the following statement? Men
are stronger than women.
0 - Describe what you think would be an optimum
relationship with someone of the opposite sex.
' Five female graduate students who audit the class are
helping Phillips with the distribution and evaluation of tile
survey. They are available after class to listeh to students
who want to discuss personal problems. Phillips does not
want personal problems to be discussed in class, he said.
