She worked regularly with Marsha Burke, in volved in a therapy program which includes writing poetry. “Writing is definitely what Marsha does best,” said McDonald. “She can sit down and write a poem on the spot. In conversation she seems to wonder and daydream, like she’s thinking of another poem... She once told me, ‘Debbie, I’m a dreamer.”^ Some of Marsha Burke’s dreams: / y Marshq u k 1/1 .. . Burke s \ \ dreams Mimis garden Welcome to Mimi’s garden It’s a fine and lovely day. Each Daisy and Chrysanthemum Has turned out -in bright array. Won’t you stop and have some tea, M’am, asked the ragged teddy bear, We’ll do our best to serve you although Mimi isn’t here. '\ \ Mimi was our hostess our host was Spot the pup. We dreamed of fame champagne- all part of growing up. and piiik Our songs were always happy ones our stories gay and true But Mimi soon grew older as little girls do. Too soon she went and left us and no more we saw her face and I must say Mimi’s garden became a mighty lonely place. Would you care for some more cookies? May I serve you some more tea? I must say Mimi’s garden is just like it used to be. .. Sd*®L Poet’s dilemma' * Dear Readers, I think in terms of poetry and make fine points in this you see, “To be or not to be,” I’m really very happy. I know that day will rhyme with say and even “one horse sleigh.” It’s simple for me either way. My job is fun and snappy. But then there comes the dreadful time when one must do away with rhyme and write the dull and single line I’m scared and do I show it? This jolt is like a stabbing knife or like a man who beats his wife, but one takes joy along with strife, and “Such is life.” The Poet The institutionalized pussy cat I sit by the window at the start of each day And watch Mama Kitty going her way Her hair streaked with silver, her eyes clear as glass. You can tell at a moment, this girl’s got class. What is she doing in a place like this? Why, she’s got a husband and family to miss. She walks the long thoroughfare through bushes an trash, A forgotten inmate of a place known as ASH. But when she gains insight andffinds \ 4 Life is authentic Then she can go to the Out-kitty s Clinic 4 . /W- . \ Campus Briefs Announcement orders The Student Finance Center will begin taking orders for graduation announcements June 24 from seniors due to graduate at the end of the second summer session.

Prototype barrier crash-tested here TAMU’s Texas Transportation Institute will undertake impact tests on a prototype traffic barrier system for the National Cooperative High way Research Program (NCHRP). The barrier, which was de veloped by NCHRP, is designed to provide a consistent degree of pro tection while presenting a reasona bly consistent appearance. Too many vitamins harmful “If a few vitamins are good, then lots of vitamins must be better” has been said more than once. “It’s just not true,” one foods and nutrition expert says—“too many vitamins Hon’t make you healthier—they might even be harmful. ” She’s Sally Springer, foods and nutrition specialist, TAMU Agricul tural Extension Service. “Fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K are stored in the body and excess amounts taken for ah ex tended time may be toxic,” the specialist warned. Because of this danger, the Food and Drug Administration has li mited the amount of vitamins A and D supplements sold across the counter, she added. “If a person restricts his diet to specific foods and takes supplemen tal vitamins over an extended time, toxic symptoms of certain vitamins may appear,” she continued. Water-soluble vitamins—C and B-complex—do not stockpile in the body—so excess amounts of these do neither good nor harm. The body simply doesn’t use them. "Cood nutrition in our ‘age of supernutrition’ comes from eating a wide variety of foods every day. Ex cess vitamins don’t help your health,” the specialist concluded.

Hirsch, professor of civil engineering at TAMU and research engineer with TTI, is principal in vestigator on the project that will place the prototype barrier through four high-speed crash tests. The barrier is intended to pre vent penetration by a standard-size U. S. automobile impacting at free way speeds and at a 25 degree angle. The barrier is expected to redirect straying vehicles parallel to traffic flow, and will provide a range of controlled dynamic deflections by varying design parameters. The TTI research team will con duct the crash tests at the Highway Safety Research Center at the Re search Annex under the direction of Dr. Gene Ruth, associate research engineer at TTI. Tests will include impacting the system with a 4,500-pound car travelling at 60 miles per hour and 25 degrees. Another test will be run at the same speed from a seven de gree angle. The third test will involve a car impacting the transition areg bet ween the approach railing and the bridge rail, and will also be run at 60 mph from 25 degrees. A fourth test will probably be run later, under provisions for additional funding for the project. May employment shown holding May nonagricultural employ ment in the Bryan-College Station area held to the April level as reduc tions in education were offset by in creased hiring in retail trade and construction. Nonfarm employment grew moderately this year. Nonagricul tural placements by Texas Emp loyment Commission totaled 533 in May, up from 420 in April, and in creasing 13.9 percent over May ’73, according to the TEC. The number of unemployed re gistered with TEC rose moderately to 1160 in May, and was 4.7 percent above last year’s total. New job ap plications, at 654, showed a sharp increase from the April figure of 533, and a moderate gain over the same month last year. Much of the increase was due to the lay-off in education.
