Pag'e 2 THE BATTALION College Station, Texas Friday, March 10, 1967 CADET SLOUCH Welcome To Aggieland Career Day Visitors Everyone in Aggieland wishes to extend a personal “Howdy” to the more than 3,500 students and other visitors getting a first hand look at A&M during its Career Day. We hope you will take this opportunity to gain an insight into the facilities, the courses and our distinctive student life. But above all, we hope you will leave A&M with a little bit of what really makes an Aggie — that Fightin’ Texas Aggie Spirit. You will soon be deciding where to spend the next four years, and which institution you will look gack upon and call your own for the rest of your life. If you are thinking seriously along these lines — making your deci sion from considering the end result of four year’s effort — you may well decide on A&M. For those willing to pay the price — four years of hard work — it has a lot to offer, including a highly respected scholastic standing at a relatively low cost. While visiting our campus, take a long, hard look at Aggieland, yourself and the future. Aggie Players Schedule Ten Plays This Spring The Aggie Players have sched uled 10 plays to be produced in the Fallout Theater-Workshop during March, April and May. Each of these plays will be directed by students to fulfill part of their requirements for the Directing II course in Theater Arts. They will include plays written by such well known authors as Strindberg, Tennessee Williams and Edward Albee. Also produced will be many plays written by the students themselves. The Fallout Theater-Workshop was conceived and built by stu dents for students. Since its opening in January, 1966, more than 50 plays have been pre sented to the public. They have ranged from light comedy and melodrama to serious commentary on contemporary society. All aspects of the theater work are performed by students, under the supervision of C. K. Esten, direc tor of the Aggie Players, from the acting and directing, to set design, lighting and sound. Further announcements of the individual productions will be made as the plays are presented.

WASHINGTON <A>) — Presi dent Johnson announced Thurs day he is asking Congress to restore the 7 per cent tax credit for business investment in new machinery and equipment. Johnson told a news conference restoration of the tax credit and the accelerated depreciation al lowance is now “appropriate” in view of the diminished inflation ary threat. Johnson called for the restora tion to be made effective today. His action came just a day after the official forecast of in dustry’s capital spending showed an actual decline—the first in four years. Johnson said in suspending the tax credit last fall he provided for automatic restoration under certain conditions. He said it is now clear the temporary suspension has “done the job we hoped and expected it would do.” He said interest rates have de clined during the suspension, as much as one and one-quarter percentage points.

He said the pressure on ma chine industry had eased dra matically. “The imbalance in our economy that we were aiming at has been righted. The suspension is no longer needed and I propose that we restore the investment incen tives effective today,” he con cluded. Johnson said he expects to meet somewhere in the Pacific later this month with his top leaders in Vietnam. Johnson did say at one point without mentioning names that “it seems obvious to me that some of them do need more in formation.” But he also declared that, “I must grant to them the same sincerity I reserve for myself.” “All of us,” he said, “are very anxious to seek a peaceful settle ment in Vietnam—as far as I am concerned, the sooner the better.” now in paperback AlOOO The Definitive Book on the Kennedy Years • Pulitzer Prize winning book • Winner of National Book Award 'The book we have all been waiting for.” — The New York Times Wherever paperbacks are sold -only $i.es Fawcett Publications, Inc., Greenwich, Conn.

Dr. Dayle Sittler is interested in action of chemicals which help transmit neural impulses to the brain. These include adrenalin, nor-adrenalin, acetylcholine and serotonin—collectively called the catecholamines. Sittler noted other researchers contend serotonin appears to be involved in the occurrence of hal lucinations produced by LSD. He also remarked that LSD, except for bad side effects, is an excel lent means of making contact with mentally disturbed brains. Laboratory tests by Dr. Sittler involve the use of American cock roaches about one and one-half inches long for study. He dissects a single clump of nerve tissue from one of two nerve cords in the cockroach. According to Sittler, research ers are seeking more information about serotonin. If they prove the drug produces hallucinations, future research might be con ducted which would block or re duce one or more of the undesired side effects. The clump of tissue is then immersed in a moving saline solu tion and hooked to electrodes which connect to sensitive meas uring devices. Readings are taken to measure the rate of im pulse transmissions spontane ously generated by the tissue. Measured amounts of one or more of he catecholamines are added to the saline solutions. New readings are made to de termine whether the injected chemical facilitates or inhibits nervous impulses, and to what extent. Sittler hopes eventually to cor relate the information to rate of transmissions of chemicals which stimulate nervous system re sponses in humans. The physicist said scientists have indicated that chemical im balances are implied in such Cockroaches have been used in laboratory experiments since 1962 by Dr. Sittler, primarily because they can be raised conveniently in the laboratory. He keeps about 1,000 cockroaches for research. ATTENTION Corps Sophomores and Juniors Picture schedule for Aggie land ’67 to be taken at the University Studio in North Gate.
