want to shape RWGA so that it
will provide both the
enivornment and possibility as
well as the necessity and
sanction for us to become more
responsible and mature women.
Every decision we make, every
question we ask, every placard
we may carry, every editorial we
write has far-reaching
implications. It is our
responsibility, moreover, our
obligation (not only as 1/3 of
Mercer's population, but also as
women with ideas and rights to
be respected) to direct our
actions toward the actualization
of our potential. Yet, this
cannot be an individual pursuit.
We must seek togehter this kind
of involvement to provide for a
strong organization. The
resulting power involves not
soley the dominance of radicals
nor the submissivencts of
conservatives, but the efforts of
both in our community.
There are a multitude of
possibilities for broadening our
responsibilities. RWGA is bigger
than rule changes. It can reflect

Because a Gant ihirt is
more than something to
hang a tie on. It's a
stimulant to make you fed
good, look good through'
out the day.
Because a Gant shirt—
from its softly flared
button-down collar to its
trim Hugger body—is
tailored with singular
precision.
Because the fabrics in
Gant shirts have elan in a
gentlemanly manner;
are exclusive and wear
superbly.
This is why we carry a
complete selection of Gant
shirts. It's also why men
of impeccable taste come
to us for Gant.
