Silent Menace Dexedrine, or dextro-amphetamine sulfate, will help you stay awake to study. Dexedrine, in some of its lesser-known effects can also make you restless and heighten your reflexes. It can bring on dizziness, talkativeness, tensions, insomnia, confusion, tremors, anxiety and difficulty in concentration. It can cause delirium and hallucinations. Dexedrine can cause agitation, irrationality, epileptic like seizures, personality disorders due to brain damage, aggression, assaultiveness, panic states and, in some cases, suicidal or homicidal tendencies. Dex: a common term on campuses. Dexedrine is normally a prescription drug, but on almost every campus, dexedrine or marijuana, both the seller and the buyer, as well as anyone else who knows of the transaction or possesses the drug, are outside the law. In valid medical use, dexedrine has two main functions. Doctors use it as an aid in reducinb appetite in cases of obesity; in cases of severe depression, dexedrine often re stores optimism and energy. In both situations, however, it is prescribed under careful control and in limited dosages. Severe and damaging reactions to dexedrine can occur even under close medical supervision. While a student may think that he is not having a bad reaction to dexedrine, it is part of the character of this drug that the affected person is unaware of his reaction. Frequently, a student who has taken dex to stay awake studying for an exam has the impression that he has done outstanding work on the test—only to find out that his work has actually been below par, at times incoherent. With some people, one capsule of dexedrine is enough to cause violent reaction. The drug has an accumulative effect; one cannot count on its having worn off over any certain period of time. . ... ... Dexedrine, an amphetamine stimulant and not a narcotic, is considered by many authorities to be worse than so-called “hard” drugs; the barbiturate-amphetamines cause a type of addiction that is harder to treat than even heroin. Next time you want to stay awake to study—say, during mid-semester exams—make it coffee, not dex.

News Editor - Gerald Garcia CADET SLOUCH by Jim Earle The legacy Texas A&M leaves must certainly contain the adage, “Aggies love to gripe.” But do they really? The suggestion box set up in the Memorial Student Center by the Student Senate certainly doesn’t indicate that every student’s pet panacea is being aired. Of the suggestions collected, few proved worthwhile to be considered by the senators. Several excellent ones in cluded ideas for campus beautification and lessening the number of hours required for some degrees; unfortunately most of the remaining lot were of a more unsavory nature. Probably the best suggestion submitted asked for a permanent suggestion box—a simple but effective way of bettering administration-student communication. This should get first priority by the senate. The average student now has only one method to air his gripes—“Sound Off.” Another outlet directed to the student government is needed. “I actually wish we had a bonfire or something to work on so I’d have a reason not to study all weekend!” ‘Volunteers’ To Viet Nam Held As Sino-Soviet Bluff An UP) News Analysis By WILLIAM L. RYAN UP) Special Correspondent Red China says it is “ready” to send men to fight in Viet Nam. The Soviet leadership hints that Russians are cla moring to volunteer for battle there. All this would raise the specter of another Korea — ex cept that this time the threats have a hollow sound. From what has gone on be tween the Soviet and Chinese leaders in recent days, it seems likely Peking and Moscow are trying to bluff one another just as much as they are trying to impress the Americans and the rest of the world. Peking has been prudent all along about its role in the Indo china war. The Peking tone has indicated suspicion that Red Chinese involvement is just what the Americans would want to provide an excuse for de stroying China’s new nuclear potential. Peking’s suspicions extend to the Soviet Union. It was clear a few days ago, from an editorial in the chief Red Chinese theo retical journal, Red Flag, that (Peking believes itself isolated by the Soviet Union. That editorial was a fiery at tack on the Soviet Communist party for going through with an international party meeting this month over Chinese objections. Time and again, the editorial accused the Soviet leadership of intending to cooperate with the United States for “two-power domination of the world.” Soviet talk of unified Commu nist action in Indochina, it said, was nothing but “a swindle,” and in reality the Soviet Com munists adhere to a policy “of Soviet-U. S. cooperation for dom ination of the world.” The Chinese have several kinds of propaganda. There is the sort directed at world Com munists and the Soviet Union, the sort directed at their own people at home, and the sort intended for consumption in the West. The latter is typified by a statement of Chinese Premier Chou En-lai that if Viet Nam leads to war among the major powers, the Red Chinese and the U. S. S. R. would stand to gether. This is unlikely to be given much prominence inside China itself. It is extremely doubtful that the Chinese leader ship believes it. The Soviet threat of involve ment by means of volunteers in Viet Nam was little more than a hint, dropped almost casually by party chief Leonid I. Bre zhnev in his speech extolling the U.S.S.R.’s latest astronaut he roes. Significantly, the hint was not pushed and in an editorial recapulation of what Brezhnev said the Communist party organ Pravda made no reference to it.

The author ex presses the feelings of many such women on our campus so well. The Battalion thought her essay deserved publication. Amid all the current contro versy over the policy of Texas A&M University concerning the admission of women, every poss ible opinion has been expressed by men who consider the school their particular responsibility. Student polls, former student association resolutions, and bills in the Texas Legislature have all received widespread publicity. In addition, pert and pretty 18- year-olds perch on various cam pus landmarks and explain to the press why they do or do not desire to become Maggies. The one person who has re mained in the background dur ing all the hullabaloo is the per son who will be most directly af fected by the final decision. She is the student at A&M who is slightly, or more than slightly past the first blush of youth, who cares for a home and family in addition to attending classes. She is the “Baggie.” —Job Calls— MONDAY Carling Brewing Company — chemical engineering, chemistry, biology, microbiology, food tech nology.

The Baggie is easily distin guished from the rarer Maggie, who in addition to being young er and unmarried, also possess es infinitely more self-confid ence, an unlimited clothing bud get, and the ability to apply eye make-up to achieve exotic ef fects. One of the predominant characteristics of the Baggie is her tendency to cluster with oth ers of the same category. Be cause of this, the recent intro duction of evening classes has been of great benefit to her. In these classes she has the opportunity to gain confidence in herself while in the company of contemporaries having similar backgrounds, interests, and prob lems. This allows the Baggie to make a gradual transition into the academic atmosphere before she must plunge into competition with younger and more energetic full-time college students. At first, everything seems larg er than life to the Baggie. The flights of stairs are longer and steeper than non-academic stairs, the instructors pronounce only the most profound syllables, and each paper she must write is brought forth with the agony, shy pride and maternal feelings toward the final product that are worthy of a first-born. Although the Baggie does eventually discover the eleva tor and comes to doubt the ab solute infallibility of the in structor, her maternal feelings toward her papers are not soon dispelled. Every red mark rep resents a threat to her well-be ing; every bad grade is a blow to her pride. Her spirits rise to fall in direct relationship to her grades. If she does find the adjust ments so great and if class at tendance is really such a physi cal and emotional strain, certain ly her reason for returning to school at such a late date must be equally strong. In most cases, her reasons are based on a desire to be a more complete person for her own satisfaction and for the benefit of her immediate family. The Baggie is almost unique among college students in that her pri mary goal is learning for the sake of knowing, rather than a- massing enough hours for a de gree which would serve to open employment opportunities to her.

Service Is Our Specialty the Baggie will feel most di rectly any change by Texas A&M in its policy toward female ad missions. Few Aggies would leave A&M whether women were admitted on an unlimited basis or barred altogether. Com: To S If barred from Texas A&M most Maggies would attend an other university with little in convenience. The Baggie, how ever, has family obligations which require her to remain in the Bryan-College Station area whether or not her educational needs are fulfilled. Should the university open its doors to all women, more poten tial Baggies in the community would doubtless take advantage of the opportunity to further their education. Should Texas A&M University ever revert to an all-male enrollment, the Bag- gie would return to her bridge playing and her flower-arrang ing—perhaps even with a hidden sigh of relief—but in the whole would probably be less contented and of less benefit to her com munity, to her family and to her self.
