Page 2 College Station, Texas Tuesday, February 27, 1973 THE BATTALION Listen Up — Battalion, Laundry Policies Queried Editor: Reference is made to the head line of the Thursday, Feb. 22 edition of The Battalion, entitled, “Two Former A&M Students Nabbed for Major Theft.” It seems to me that such a headline gives us some adverse credit which frankly I feel is unde served, particularly for the front page. Succeeding pages contain many favorable statements con cerning Aggieland while front page status has been given to a couple of misfits that are more importantly students of another institution rather than A&M. Would it not have been more appropriate to have titled this article “Two Richland JC Stu dents Nabbed for Major Theft from Texas A&M”? In the arti cle it could have been mentioned that at one time the two individ uals did attend Texas A&M Uni versity. I take great pride in being an Aggie even though I am a half- breed (B.S. from Texas Tech), and I am proud of Texas A&M, its spirit, its service to mankind through its goals and objectives, and the continuing contributions of the former students to society around the world. Let’s be posi tive — take our licks when we deserve them, but leave the un deserved to the deserving. N. J. Rowan Though The Battalion may be considered by some as strictly a public relations organization for the University, we at the Batt be lieve otherwise. We try not to create the news, that is the func tion of the students and faculty and up until now these two have done a good job of it. Also we question your ratio nalization in the analysis that “Two former A&M students” (second par., first line of the story) cannot be considered “two individuals who did at one time attend Texas A&M.”—Ed. ★ ★ ★ Editor: I have not been able to figure out the problem the laundry has in maintaining the proper service needed to insure contentment among their patrons at A&M. It appears that writing a letter about the inefficiency of the laun dry to The Battalion will soon be added to the long list of A&M traditions. Almost every semester some one writes a letter on how they have been screwed by the laundry and almost every semester noth ing is done to improve the serv ice (last semester minor changes were made). This semester, God willing, the laundry committee may actually do something last ing about the incompetence that plagues the laundry. I do not mean to be difficult, but I do not write, “No starch,” in the space misnamed “Instruc tions,” for my amusement. I also do not think it is amusing to re ceive other people’s socks and handkerchiefs mixed with mine. Furthermore, if a shirt or other article is misplaced, as was my case, I do not understand why the individual should be made to feel like it was his fault for turning the shirt in to be cleaned. Up to this date, I did not think that anybody or anything would provoke me into writing an un required essay.

Aggie Players Review — "Caligula’ Captures Audience By VICKIE ASHWILL When the curtains rose with the opening performance of “Cal igula” Monday night it looked as though the Aggie Players were about to rehash the tradL tional “Julius Caesar.” But the playex-s, in one of their best performances, proved tradi tion entirely incorrect. Set in a Roman atmosphex-e, the play by Albert Camus took a slightly different approach to the Shake spearean type plot. Richax-d Taylor, as Caligula, was the main factor in pulling the audience into the grasp of the performance. His ability to act the part of the power-mad ruler, lonely without killing peo ple and eccentric from all as pects, captured the audience’s at tention whenever he was on the stage. Taylor was able to change his moods from angry to passive to completely insane within the time span of a few seconds. Tay lor did an excellent performance in the part of Caligula, the man whose goal in life was “concerned with making possible that which is not possible.” Walt Meissner in his role as Scipio did a heartwarming per formance as the emotional young poet. The freshman geology major is in his first appearance with the Aggie Players and add ed the warm, emotional aspect needed in the play. The patrician Cherea, played by Audie Beeson, was the intel lectual in the play and led the plot to destroy Caligula. The senior Aggie band member was able to whip out his sarcastic remarks with the ability of a pro. Beeson’s anger and hatred for Caligula seemed natural and gave the idea he was really a part of his performance. Caesonia, the only speaking woman in the play, was played by Yvonne Schmitz with a style that took a while to become ac customed. At first distant and cold, she generally warmed up with her performance. Even though Caesonia was the basic - snob type i n d i v i d u,a 1 Schmitz did not act as if she could fill her hole until the sec ond act when she came out with a flair for being hateful and rude. Helicon, loyal patrician, was played by Charles Tyler in his first performance with the Aggie Players. Devoted as he was sup posed to be to Caligula, Tyler’s acting style took some getting used to before he was convinc ing in his part. At times Tyler seemed to be very much a part of the perform ance, yet at other times, he seemed to act as if he were a robot in his role. All in all, the play was good with a captivating performance by the Aggie Players. “Caligula” will continue every night this week through Saturday at 8 p.m. in the A&M Consolidated Middle School auditorium. Admission is one dollar. Che Battalion Opinions expressed in The Battalion are those of the student writers only.

In this article, Dean of Women Toby Schreiber is quoted as saying that A&M girls do not get pregnant. Being an A&M girl myself, I would like to know the basis for this statement. Do A&M female students not become pregnant because a) they do not know how, b) are they somehow exempt, by virtue of be ing A&M students, c) or have they already been to a gynecol ogist elsewhere? Surely, at A&M, it is not from lack of opportun ity! No matter what the answer to this question is, it is still no rea son for not having a gynecologist here on campus. I feel that the dean of women is side-stepping the issue of improved women’s health care. Helen Mehan Dean Schreiber denies having made the remark as Gillian Parker stated it at the Wednes day meeting of the Women’s Awareness group and at the same time acknowledges sex at A&M, whether in its pure or re fined form.—Ed.

Motivation Research Center began experiment ing with various mind control methods, including Yoga, Zen, Autoconditioning, Hypnosis, Auto genics and Meditation. Motivation Research Center was intrigued with the fantastic results some people seemed to obtain using some of these methods. What strange powers of mind were involved? Could such powers be harnessed for the good of all? If so, could the best of these methods be combined, simplified and refined for the use of the average man or woman? MRC realized that if man hoped to harness even a fraction of the full potential of his mind/brain complex, a new, easy to learn method of mind control would have to be developed. . . A system that could have far-reaching implications for mankind. As research continued, another startling discovery was made. Many students were beginning to use ESP in their daily lives. Executives were increasing corporate profits, students were improving grades, wives and mothers were sensing and solving problems with extra sensory awareness. At about the same time that the American Assocation for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) was acknowledging ESP as e human capability, worthy of the serious attention of scientific research, MRC had begun to develop and refine methods that now enable 90-95% of the population to develop and use controlled ESP routinely. and in a private school-hospital for children with learning disabilities. The entire method and many special techniques have now been refined end are being taught in an exciting new program, employing conventional classroom training, as well as a complete cassette tape home study program which only requires a few hours to complete. omp uate metre not c lems. Call write _ Ree week Stole] MIND CONTROLS BODY MODIFIED BRAIN WAVES By 1969, with only a few hours of classroom training, individuals began to develop incredible "mental tools." Testing revealed that the training also seemed to influence an individual's brain wave patterns. Although there are four basic brain wave patterns. Alpha, Beta, Delta and Theta, it was observed that these training techniques specif ically enhanced a person's Alpha brain wave activity and, in fact, most students could actually influ ence these brain waves at will. MRC found that students could use the 8 to 12 cycle per second Alpha brain wave as a parameter for a "special" state of consciousness. The term "Alpha level" of mind evolved, and the system was even tually named ALPHA DYNAMICS! Alpha brain wave enhancement now sets this unique system of mental exercises apart from other tech niques, such as hypnosis or self hypnosis. By combining ALPHA DYNAM ICS with Dr. J. H. Schultz's Auto genic methods, many students learn ed to control their heartbeat, blood pressure, skin temperature and gal vanic skin response. In fact, a signif leant part of the so-called auto nomic nervous system could be con trolled. Once you have mastered ALPHA DYNAMICS you can relax com pletely anytime you wish. . control fears, anxiety, pain and tension. . . increase vitality and energy, self confidence and assurance. . . elim inate bad habits. nail biting, smoking, use of drugs. . . develop good habits. . . control weight. . . use ESP to be a better parent, better student. . . become more successful in business and your personal life. LEARN. . . Ha If no tatior your Graduates of this training began to report that many psychosomatic health problems subsided or van ished completely. Many eliminated migraine headaches, insomnia, ten sion, etc. The implications of this breakthrough in the area of health alone were staggering. It is not surprising that today, ALPHA DYNAMICS methods and tape pro grams are being used by physicians in the treatment of patients; not as experimental techniques but as a proven method of treatment for a wide variety of health problems. This same ALPHA DYNAMICS program is now being adopted by a foreign government as part of its business management training pro grams for government officials and employees. In the US. it is being taught in public school sys tems (elementary and high school) • How brainwaves relate to IQ • How mental telepathy can influence another's dreams • How executives double corpo rate profits using ESP • How doctors are diagnosing illness with ESP • How headaches, insomnia and other psychosomatic health problems are being controlled with mind power • How Alpha brainwaves relate to speed reading and memory • How "Progressive Relaxation" can add years to your life You are a FANTASTIC INDIVIDUAL!
