The “mood ring,” which sup posedly reflects the wearer’s moods by changing colors,has joined the jewelry scene with turquoise necklaces and pucha beads. Believers say the ring portrays the wearer’s moods by changing colors with the person’s body heat and energy. Advertisers of the ring say the mood ring can be a warning system for changes in emotion and can help the wearer avoid tension and stress. There is a color for every mood ranging from black, which repre sents stress, to violet-blue, reflect ing love and happiness. Other colors of the spectrum in the ring are amber for moody, topaz or yellow for tense, jade for calm, turquoise for relaxed and lapis or bright blue for happiness. After about two years the ring wears out and turns totally black, according to the manufacturer. Texas A&M University student Cindy Osborn said her ring is always blue for happy, “unless I have a chemistry test.” “The only time my ring isn’t blue is when I study and then it’s green,” she said. “My mood is reflected as blue right now because A&M is still un defeated,” Lisa Byrd said. Shannon Walker said mood rings were always black on her. “I think I have cold hands,” she said. The mood ring is a quartz stone filled with liquid crystals that rapidly react to temperature changes and cause the ring to change colors quickly. The ring will also reflect the temperature in a room and not just a person’s body temperature. If the ring is placed in a cold room it will turn black. If placed near a source of heat the ring will turn blue. Sales of mood rings in Bryan and College Station reflect the nation wide trend. Mood rings are among the most sought after items on the market to day. Mary Thorn, sales clerk at Britt’s Department Store in Manor East Mall in Bryan said that in a little more than one week, Britt’s has sold approximately 235 mood rings. Britt’s is currently sold out of the rings, as of Monday, she said. Thorn said that last week 35 mood rings were sold in one day for $5 apiece. The original mood rings, de veloped by Josh Reynolds, went on sale this summer for $4 apiece at the Bonwit Teller store in New York City. Since then the mood ring has been selling for anything from $125 in a gold setting to $2.99. Whether mood ring wearers are believers in the ring’s ability to dis play moods or not, they certainly are buying them.

Dave Loggins never really had a chance to display his full talents for this reason Friday night. Opening with Jackson Browne’s “Take it Easy,” Loggins and band sweated through an unusually long set for an opening act. Constantly harassed by faulty sound, they gained appreciation from the crowd with songs with ti tles like “White Seat Satisfaction,” (a moving saga about when a laxative struck him in a bus terminal) and “Sunset Woman,” (concerning an aging prostitute). Loggins also played two of his well known songs, “Pieces of April and “Please Come to Boston.” Throughout the evening he re peatedly said that he had made up a song especially for the Aggies. At the set’s end, the band started into the traditional “Will the Circle Be Unbroken, but at the end of a few verses he changed the lyrics to: “We are the Texas A&M Aggies, And the Southwest Conference Championship’s our goal.We are the Texas A&M Aggies, And we re heading for the Cotton Bowl. Jim Stafford did not have to worry about poor sound because he accompanied himself on guitar, banjo, foot manipulated tambourine and bass pedals. (“Made for me by my old bass player.”) As expected, he played his list of successes — “Spiders and Snakes, “My Girl Bill and “Wildwood Weed. Interspersed with novelty and humor, were moments of guitar brilliance. Two high-points were a Spanish-flavored piece and varia tions on “Classical Gas.” Much of his music was pure fun, such as his imitation of an old blues singer accompanied by a banjo. He also viewed how other people might have written the “Star Spangled Banner” with imitations of Roger Miller, Johnny Cash, Charlie Rich and Elvis Presley. An excellent entertainer, Stafford intertwined his musical repertoire with humorous tales and commen taries ranging from cats and politics (“They should have had some cats in Washington during Watergate, they would have showed them how to cover it up.”) to the subject of drinking (“I feel sorry for people who don’t drink. When they wake up, that’s as good as they’re going to feel all day.”). Stafford did not quite live up to his television show but that is possi bly due to its controled atmosphere. Seminar to recognize facilities The Regional Mental Health Seminar will be held in Rudder Tower on Nov. 22. The seminar is sponsored by the Council of Citizens Advisory and the Central Brazos Val ley Mental Health Center in cooper ation with the Department of Psychology. The seminar is designed to ac quaint medical, psychological, and law enforcement specialists, as well as students with the availability, and treatments in the area of mental health services. The majority of the seminar will be spent in two professionally facilitated discussion groups at 10:l5 a.m. and 2 p.m. Dr. James A Knight, Dean of the A&M College of Medicine will initiate the discussion by speaking on definitions of mental health prob lems. A $5 registration fee for the semi nar, limited to 200 participants, can be paid to the Community Mental Health Services Seminar, Box 646, Bryan, Texas 77801. Now a Bose Direct/Reflecting bookshelf speaker and it’s under $100. If you thought it couldn’t be done, you don’t know BOSE. Because the new BOSE MODEL 301 speaker is just that. A bookshelf speaker that provides reflected and direct sound performance in the tradition of the internationally-famous BOSE 901® and 501 speakers. It provides such astounding performance for its size that, frankly, it’s hard to believe that this speaker costs under $100. But it does. And, it’s easy to place and can be adapted to all room environments. Come in this week and ask to hear a demonstration of the new BOSE MODEL 301 Direct/ Reflecting® bookshelf speaker system. You really won’t believe it . . . until you hear it.

Enrollment statistics, and an actual count of vehicles after fall classes begin, often require that adjustments be made in parking areas. The beginning of new construc- of o tion projects, and the completion of old projects, also demand changes in parking requirements. When read justments are made to accommodate these changes, the result is a conflict between what appears on the ground and what appears in the Traffic Regulations map. It must be understood, therefore, that in-place parking and traf fic signs supersede previously printed regulations and instructions. - 36t5 AUTO INSURANCE FOR AGGIES: Call: George Webb Farmegs Insurance Group 3400 S.
