From other campuses
Hypnosis is being revived at
Tarleton State College under the
direction of Dr. Ben Barnes, pro
fessor of physical science.
Barnes has announced a special
class on self-hypnotic learning
which began Tuesday. The class
is supposed to aid students with
learning difficulties in all fields.
Barnes is attempting to help stu
dents learn by “using their sub
conscious mind.”
The course “will not work un
less the student believes it will
work,” according to Barnes.
Barnes feels that students who
do poorly have their mind made
up that they are stupid and that
they must overcome this fear and
and defy their subconscious be
fore they can excel.
At TU, the Center for African
and Afro-American Studies is
growing despite low funds. Under
the direction of Dr. Roger Abra
hams, the center is beginning its
second year. Afro artifacts are
scattered around the suite, which
is in the Social Work Building,
and cool soul pervades the atmos
phere.
Abrahams is trying to persuade
the university to buy a $10,000
collection of modem African art.
In addition, a free handbook for
black students will be released at
the opening of a Black Studies
Lounge.
“It is for people who want to
understand the black situation
better, not just for blacks,” Abra
hams said.
At U of H, Dr. Robert Haynes,
chairman of the Educational Pol
icy Committee of the Faculty
Senate, said his committee will
discuss a pass-fail system pro
posal if interested students find
data to support the program and
give him as much information as
they can.
Dr. Hugh Stephens, chairman
of the Arts and Sciences Curricu
lum Committee, encouraged stu
dents to get their Student Senate
representative behind the pass-
fail.
A poll conducted at UH indi
cated the students favor a pass-
fail system 10-1. Students were
encouraged to write letters and
make phone calls to get the pro
posal through.
Coeds seem to be well accepted
by ROTC programs this year.
Over 95 colleges and universities
are allowing coeds to participate
in ROTC. However, only the Air
Force extends its full program
to women. The Army and Navy
are allowing females to enroll
only in classes. Women who en
roll in the Air Force will be seen
in uniform and on the drill field
right along with the men.
By James R. Jackson

One coed at Tech serves to
illustrate the plight of the uni
versity woman. Three males
passed her and a friend and pro
ceeded to pinch her posterior.
This got her mad as a wet hen
and she ran home and told mom
my. The mad mother immediately
informed the KK’s, who were at
a loss about what to do about
the matter. Perhaps she should
have notified Women’s Libera
tion.
At TU Arlington, the flag may
soon be torn down and replaced.
The flag, however, in this case
is the controversial confederate
battle flag which may soon be
replaced by the Bonnie Blue flag
of Texas. The Bonnie Blue is a
solid blue flag with a single star
in the center.
Courtney Roberts, a former
Student Congress member at Ar
lington, said of the possible new
flag, “It originated in Texas. It
was well established as a Texas
flag long before it went into
battle. There is no reason why
it should be offensive to anyone.”
A lot of students just can’t
seem to get the old study ball
rolling this year. You can observe
this type in the library dozing,
sitting in the MSC hours at a
time, tripping around with his
head hung down, and practicing
other forms of the art of pro
crastination.
One Tech student has offered
some ideas on how to combat this
problem. What he recommends
is to cultivate your professor. He
offers many techniques such as
checking out books from the li
brary relevant to your course and
scattering them around yotir
desk, practicing the right facial
expressions in class, and other
variations of brown-nosing and
snowing. If these fail and you’re
too skinny to join the football
team, or if a girl, tired of wear
ing those miniskirts, and the prof
still refuses to conform, you can
always resort to flagrant “apple
polishing.”
