Stay-Awake Pills...
... 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.

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.

Married Coed Unfolds
Life Of An A&M Baggie
EDITOR’S NOTE: The fol
lowing was written by a
married coed in a freshman
English class. 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.”

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.
Because of her unique position,

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.
