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.
Admission is 50 cents and show
time is 8:00 p.m.

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 last spring and sum
mer savings and loan institutions
had virtually no money for new
home building, but again have
money to lend now.
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.”

A Texas A&M physics profes
sor is conducting laboratory re
search with cockroaches which
may lead to new information
about certain mental disorders.
mental disorders as schizophrenia
and hallucinations.
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.
