About half way through the
semester, the tensions of being
a student start mounting. Pap
ers are due, quizzes are being
given and life seems topsy
turvy.
It’s time for a little creative
intelligence.
Creative intelligence is the
“other name for transcenden
tal meditation (TM).
“TM is a simple mental
technique for deep sleep, ” said
Bo Edgar Blackledge, teacher of
TM in the Bryan-College Sta
tion area.
Proponents of TM will say

there is no religious background

Maharishi Mahesh Yogi is of a
Hindu background and medita

practice.
Be that as it may, TM has
taken the United States by
storm. Thirty major U.S. cities,
including Houston, house
world plan centers. At these
centers organizations for cities
in the region are supervised.
The B-CS meditating com

new people coming into the
program monthly, said
Blackledge.
Monthly lectures are given to
instruct people about the TM
program. “We don’t give a sales

show people what TM can do for
them.

Blackledge.
These are derived in the deep
rest that TM provides. “It’s not
sleep,” Blackledge said.
TM slows the body processes
down. “It’s only natural if the
mind rests, the body rests,
Blackledge said. But beyond
that the meditator wishes to

South Knoll
plans meetings
The South Knoll Elementary
School Parent Teacher Association
(PTA) has announced plans for a
meeting in October in conjunction
with the school’s Halloween Carni
val.
PTA President Mrs. Dock Burke
said seven more meetings have
been scheduled throughout the
year.
The meetings will include discus
sions of:
• Performance evaluation and
the new grading system in
November.
• \ Christmas sharing program
in December
• Bicentennial Fair workshop in
January.
• Chili Supper and Bicentennial
Fair in February.
• PTA vs. Parent Teacher Or
ganization in March.
• Teacher Appreciation Night in
May.
Plans for the April meeting will
be announced later.
Other PTA officers for this year
are Dr. and Mrs. Otto Crenwelge,
vice-presidents of programs and di
rectory; Mrs. Gary Richardson,
vice-president of membership; and
Mrs. Charles Schultz, vice-
president of hospitality.
Treasurer for the PTA is Mrs.
Jean Vaughn, and the secretary is
Mrs. Edward Binford.
sciousness.
“In sleep a person loses con
sciousness, but inTM, the mind
reduces thoughts into just
awareness,’ said Blackledge.
He added that TM can thwart
stress thereby making easier to
handle life and easier to get to
sleep at night.
“At first psychiatrists were af
raid that TM would release
stress too fast for the mental
health of their patients. But a
study in 1974 in Los Angeles
proved them wrong,”
Blackledge said.
Blackledge is a ’73 graduate of
Texas A&M in Industrial
Technology. He started
meditating as a student and be
tween the time he graduated
and joined the air force he be
came a teacher of TM. Teacher
training consisted of a 33-lesson
program in creative intelli
gence, a time in field training
and three-months of training
under Maharishi.
“Maharishi said that the Un
ited States needs TM more than
most countries because of the
high pace of life; yet they are
more appreciative of it because
they are more creative a „J
