Transvestia

surrounded. There is so much to be understood by so many and so few to teach. It is always said that we live in a changing world but too many just wait for and then accept the change instead of going out open ly into the battle of ignorance and prejudice and doing something to influence the direction of that change.

Well, so we've lived through our sixth year. What has been accomplished during it? First and foremost Fran (49-C-1 FPE) the Executive Secretary and Sheila (30-B-2-FPE) the field organizer have done a real bang up job of reorganizing and energizing PHI PI EPSILON. They haven't done it all alone natur- ally because the various concillors have pitched in and helped get their areas under way have surely done their part, but FPE is a real going thing now and will surely use the momentum gathered in this year to continue to expand until we really have something to talk about and be proud of.

Along the lines of education, Betty (20-H-1FPE) our Cover Girl on this very issue has done her bit by her talks to medical students and professors at Johns Hopkins University, I have done the same here at UCLA and, as related in TVia #35, I did my best to influence a lot of psychiatrists in Hawaii. Several of the girls have undertaken to reply to columnists such as Dear Abby and others who have shown less than a clear understanding in their columns in an attempt to straighten them out. Literarily speaking Peggie (25-E-1) has broken into the literary world with an article about TV poetry in the magazine TRACE and both she and I have had articles in the MAGAZINE OF MODERN SEX. Then there was the NATIONAL INSIDER bit. My lectures have been continued in So. Calif. with continued excellent audience reaction. One of them was to a psychology class at UCLA and resulted in in- teresting the professor in the subject which will re- sult in some papers on it in the future. So, much has been accomplished but there is much more to do. Wont some of the rest of you put your shoulder to the wheel in our 7th and "lucky year"?
