Seven years later and ninus the ukelele, they have made a 5 r.p.m. record and are sending opies of it to various recording ompanies in hopes that one will be nterested in their talents. BEAUTIFUL JEWELRY (Including Turquoise) Happj^ Cottage (3 blocks from City Natl. Bank) Earl is a junior environmental de sign major and a member of the ‘‘Fightin’ Texas Aggie Band” at Texas A&M University. Friedli is also a junior and is majoring in veterinary medicine. “The whole thing snowballed,” Earl said. “Right now we have the T want to be famouses. It s really past the hobby stage,” he said. Earl and Friedli frequently per form at the Basement Coffeehouse in the Memorial Student Center at A&M. Earl recalls the first time he played there. “I knew I’d have a tremendous fear of being up in front of people but we played at 5:30 in the morning in front of about three drunks, ” he said. “It’s a lot of frm up there, to get up and play—you really lose your stage fright,” Friedi said. Earl said the Coffeehouse has given them valuable practice for making their record. Both play the guitar, sing and compose songs. Earl sings melody and Friedli sings harmony. The songs on the record are The Song That Ginger Missed’ and Kichkinet’. "We were playing for some girls to get some chocolate chip cookies and one girl went to the powder room and missed that song,” Earl said. “She came back and they said to play that song—the one that Ginger missed. That’s how we named one of them.” ’Kichkinet’ means the guide’, Earl continued and is a tribute to the Delaware Indians. "They had an almost perfect soci ety. It was called the Brotherhood of Cheerful Service. They were annihi lated by the white man; I’ve always had compassion for them,” he said. ! RUNNER’S DELIGHT!

A little money on the side makes sure the song gets played a certain number times every day,” he explained. “You’ve got to admit ‘Disco Duck’ just doesn’t do it. ” i Battalion photo by Robin W, PfimiSt James Earl (left) and Armin Friedli rehearse their act in The Basement in the MSC. Fatties learn to think ‘normal’ Associated Press BOSTON—A psychologist says he’s helping fat people lose weight by showing them subliminal images of slender people and insects crawl ing through calorie-filled treats. “We are trying to make fat people think normal,’ which they don’t know how to do. They think ‘fat,’ said Hal C. Becker, director of the foods the dieter is supposed to avoid. At the end of each dietary mes sage, the background images be come clearly visible, Becker told a convention of the Alliance for En gineering in Medicine and Biology. Dieters also are videotaped from the neck down and as they lose or fail to lose weight are shown the tapes of themselves, he said. This, Becker said, offers “signific ant reinforcement when they have done well and powerful aversive conditioning when they have done badly.” Becker conceded that some psychologists might disagree with the effectiveness of the subliminal techniques, but he said he was con vinced they work. Of 42 persons who attended il least half of the sessions behveei September 1974 and March oftlii year, 29 lost between 11 and 21 pounds, he said. In most cases, Becker added, they maintained tit new weight or had lost still moresit months later. He said the program costs $180to join. clinical and behavioral engineering lab at Tulane University in New Or leans. Now Better Than Ever.

But he says that’s not the best ROOm V- BOARD ♦ this spring v 'COrY\e live where fhe fon is story. “One guy hocked his glass eye in a pawn shop here — the store owner bought it as a joke.” This city of 120,000 is built around gambling. Last year more than 8.5 million visitors poured into Reno and many contributed to Nevada’s reported gambling earnings of $193 million. Reno’s downtown casinos only take money, but the six nearby pawnshops take television sets, jewelry, guns, tools and more in ex change for money. And much of that money, shop owners say, goes im mediately into the casinos. 693-9891 The Houston Jazz Ballet Co.
