Research says rats can be
intoxicated but mentally alert
THE BATTALION Page 5
WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1974
Researchers have Found that rats
can be made mentally alert and
stumbling drunk at the same time.
Dr. W. R. Klemm of TAMU
found that by injecting a drug,
physostigmine, into drunk rats the
cortical brain waves become those
of extremely alert rats. Meanwhile
the physical characteristics are
those of behavioral intoxication
(bumping into objects, falling off the
edge of a table, flaccid muscle tone

Gift wrapping available
Gift-wrapping service is available that benefits the Student Y Associa
tion.
It is provided in room 216-A of the MSC and charged according to
package size.
Any size package will be wrapped. Melva Ball, Y secretary, said a set of
golf clubs were wrapped last year. A large variety of papers and ribbons are
used.
The service will remain available until Dec. 20, between 8 a.m. and 5
p. m. each day. ;
“We’ll keep it open right up to the end of finals,” Mrs. Ball said. “Students
are just like anyone else; they will also be doing some late shopping. ”
One particular gift is being wrapped more than any other. It is a set of
license plate frames, with TAMU and Texas Aggies in Maroon.
“Students seem to think this is a neat gift for Mom and Dad,” Mrs. Ball
said.
Col. Logan Weston, Student Y coordinator, noted the service is open to
anyone, students or faculty-staff. Student Y members get their gifts wrapped
free.
CIA interested in students
The CIA is interested in hearing from TAMU students.
The Central Intelligence Agency has notified TAMU psychology
graduates that the CIA is recruiting from its Northern Virginia headquarters
offices.
Qualified students about to earn their doctoral degree or who have
already received a Ph.D. may earn $18,000 or more by accepting a
psychologist position with the federal organization, say recruiters.
Several areas are open. Interested students or graduates should send a
resume to agent William B. Wood, Federal Building, Austin, Tex., 78701.
Individuals who show promise will be contacted for an interview.
Language test deadline Friday
Friday is the last day to sign up for the Feb. 1 Graduate School Foreign
Language Test.
Students must register and pay fees in the Academic Counseling
Center, room 107 of the Academic Building, said Ulrich Wilson Crow,
center counselor and test administrator.
The exam, on a departmental basis, may be used as an option to fulfill
doctoral requirements of foreign language.
Other tests and registration deadlines for this academic year are Feb. 28
for the April 12 test and a May 16 deadline for the exam June 28.
Dean’s assistant to speak
Bryan R. Cole, assistant to the Dean of the College of Education will
present a program at 9 a.m. Thursday in Room 804A of the Harrington
Education Center.
He will speak on administrative effectiveness and the influence of
decisions on teacher education in Texas higher education.
Vet reps keep federal holidays
The vet rep office closed at noon today and will not reopen until
Monday.
The two TAMU liaison officials of the Veterans Administration will be at
a refresher training course during that time.
Their offices in Hart Hall will remain open Dec. 23-24 but will close
from Christmas Day through the weekend until Dee. 30.
However, the office will close again on New Year’s Day and reopens
Jan. 2 on a regular schedule.
The vet reps remind TAMU veterans or dependents that their offices
are governed by federal holidays and are required to close at those times
even if the TAMU staff offices are in operation.
Aside from Christmas and New Year’s, other federal holidays this
school year include Washington’s Birthday on Feb. 17, Memorial Day on
May 26 and Independence Day on July 4.
Scholarship checks in Tower
Scholarship and grant-supported students will receive payment at a
new location beginning with the spring semester.
New procedure will require students to pick up scholarship and grant
checks at the scholarship window in the Rudder Tower. It will be operated
by the Fiscal Office.
Stipends for the spring semester will be available at the new location on
Jan. 13. TAMU’s spring semester starts Jan. 20.
Robert L. Logan noted the procedure differs in that payments were
formerly made at the Student Financial Aid Office he directs.
Loan, scholarship and grant applications and part-time student emp
loyment will continue to be handled by the Student Financial Aid Office.

and toppling over).
Klemm hinted that this might be
a first step on the way to developing
an instant “sober-up” drug.
“This work reveals that ethanol
caused motor problems more or less
independently of cortical influ
ence,” Klemm explained. The cor
tex is where the thinking processes
occur.
“It means that the gross signs of
behavioral drunkenness are not
caused by the cortex or higher parts
of the nervous system,” he noted.
“The movement problems are not
being caused by alcohol’s effect on
the cortex because we re ‘protect
ing’ it with the physostigmine. We
are also studying the effects of al
cohol in other parts of the brain by
recording nerve impulses.”
“To extrapolate this to normal
drinking in the human is not clearly
justified,” Klemm noted. “How
ever, such a relation would indicate
that there is a brief phase of the
intoxicated state when thinking is
active.”
“The fact that physical intoxica
tion persists when a major part of
the brain is protected in this way
against alcohol indicates that alcohol
acts oil chemical processes in the
brain which have yet to be disco
vered,” he went on.
Tryouts set
for players
Tryouts for an Aggie Player pro
duction of Arthur Miller’s “The
Crucible” will be held early next
semester.
The Aggie Players recently reor
ganized to a formal club structure
and will meet at 7:30 p.m. in the
University Center Forum the first
day of class next semester.

salaries of female employes.
Charges of violation of the Fair
Standards Act of 1938 were made by
the U.S. Secretary of Labor in
November. The district allegedly
paid female employes $300 less than
their male counterparts.
“We are actively fighting it (the
suit),” Hensarling said.
In other action, the board heard
the tax office’s monthly report
which showed a collection of 30.9
percent of the district’s tax revenues
for this year. This is approximately 4
percent lower than the amount col
lected during November a year ago.
