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. Congratulations,
Directors

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.

Editor:
In the Wednesday, Feb. 21 is
sue of The Battalion, thex-e was
an article concerning the health
care of the female students here
at A&M. 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.

ESPand mind control
FOR EVERYONE INTERESTED IN DEVELOPING GREATER MENTAL POWER
FANTASTIC RESULTS
Several years ago. 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.

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.

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
