evening was Robert Toland of the
Brazos County Youth Counseling
Service in Bryan.
Toland introduced and described
a film entitled “The Key” that was
shown to the group. The film
showed former methods of treat
ing mentally ill people and the
facilities wherein they were treat
ed.
The film pointed out that every
three minutes a mental patient
is admitted to a hospital. Also,
the family of a mentally ill per
son often feels ashamed of that
member of the family, when there
is actually no need to do so.
SAID TOLAND, “In some cases
it is better to treat a person in
his own home or immediate en
vironment than to take him to a
mental institution.”
A discussion period was held
after Toland’s brief talk.
The next meeting of the club

Guards Assigned
By MIKE REYNOLDS
Battalion Staff Writer
Organization, a factor that has been lacking over the
past years, is the keynote of the civilian’s participation in
bonfire work over the coming weekend, say civilian student
leaders.
The goal of the civilian’s plan includes three “outfits”
working in the cutting area, a definite section of the area
assigned to the civilians and helping the Corps stand guard
over the world’s largest blaze.
A preliminary count of students shows that from 100
to 150 civilians will be in the cutting area with the heaviest
turnout probably on Saturday, said Royce Knox, civilian
yell leader.
FOR THE FIRST time non-^
regs will have their own lane
in the cutting area located
15 miles from the campus on
the other side of Benchley on
Highway 6.
A guard roster is presently be
ing circulated and the civilians
will be asked to help with the
guarding, continued Knox.
Civilians will once again eat
breakfast in Duncan Dining Hall
at 5:00 a.m. and catch trucks to
the cutting area which will be
moving out between 5:30 and 6:00.
The civilians, working separate
ly from the Corps will also be
served lunch in the cutting area.
THE CENTER POLE is sche
duled to be hoisted Thursday and
guarding will commence Thursday
night, said Knox.
The dorm presidents met late
Wednesday to complete plans and
schedules for guarding.
Anyone wishing to participate in
bonfire work of any nature should
contact their dorm president for
further information and instruc
tions, said Jeff Harp, vice president
of the civilian student council.
“The general spirit on campus
and the hope for an upset over
Texas on Thanksgiving Day have
made the civilians more interest
ed in bonfire work and we should
really be able to get people out
this year and accomplish some
thing,” concluded Knox.
