[ The drive is being held for the son of M r. (id Mrs. Jewell Ellis of 1201 Timm Dr. in lollege Station. By a replacement agreement with Scott ||l White Hospital in Temple, Jeffrey’s pa- ents receive the anti-hemophilic that elps their son’s blood to clot in exchange ir donated blood. Jeffrey’s mother, Frances Ellis, said they ponsor the blood drives in order to replace he blood used by Jeffrey. The hospital has fever denied her son the medicine he leeds, but she said it is important that they hold the drives to replace some of the blood he uses or they may be forced to do so. Since Jeffrey needs approximately 500 pints of blood a year and medicine which Xsts $70 a bottle, Ellis said they are pre- lently far behind in their replacement count. J “Jeffrey lives a fairly normal life provided [he can get the medication he needs,” Ellis [said. A day of skating usually means an afternoon of transfusions for him, she added. I People do not realize that hemophilia involves external bleeding and internal bleeding, Ellis said. “Bleeding in the joints i? the problem Jeffrey has now,” she said. Texas A&M University students, in the t, have been very generous about giving ood, Ellis said. “Jeffrey realizes that the ople are giving blood for him, ” she said, and he is very grateful. ” Personnel from Scott & White Hospital vill draw, process, and ship the blood.

San Antonio City Councilman Henry G. Cisneros, ’68, addressed the largest Muster crowd in G. Rollie White Coliseum. Other Muster activities included the presentation of colors, a special candle service and the traditional 21-gun Salute. Staff photos by Lynn Blanco Aggies celebrate Muster here, and all over world Aggie Muster, the traditional remem brance of fallen Aggies, was held Mon day at Texas A&M University and around the world. Aggies came together in more than 450 places around the world to honor fallen comrades in the traditional San Jacinto Day memorial service. The largest Muster was at G. Rollie White Coliseum on the Texas A&M campus where San Antonio City Coun cilman Henry G. Cisneros, ’68, addres sed students and faculty. Cisneros, a former Aggie Band Com mander and professor at the University of Texas at San Antonio, told the crowd, “Muster is the most sacred of all Aggie traditions.” Comparing life at A&M to life after graduation, Cisneros said “The words soldier, statesman and knightly gentle man are A&M ideals which spring into action when duty calls them forth. ” Cis neros added all Aggies are representa tive of these ideas, Corps and civilian alike. The traditional roll call of those who have died was held after Cisneros re marks. This year’s Muster also included a special candle-lighting ceremony and the traditional 21-gun salute by the Ross Volunteers followed by Silver Taps. Special guests at the Muster were members of the class of’35. Seven mem bers of that class were participants in the now legendary Muster held during World War II on Corregidor Island. Peru embassy may house high-rank Communists United Press International SAN JOSE, Costa Rica — High-ranking defectors from Fidel Castro’s government, the “cream of the Communist crop,” may be among the 1,400 Cuban refugees still at the Peruvian Embassy in Havana, a top diplomatic source says. The diplomat said a member of the Cuban government who fought beside President Fidel Castro during the Cuban Revolution may be among those in the Peruvian Embassy. “They could be the cream of the Com munist crop, ” he said of the 1,400 Cuban who have remained in the embassy and refused safe conduct passes to return to their homes. The exodus from the embassy slowed to a trickle Monday despite the first evacuation by private Cuban exile boats to Key West, Fla., of those desperately seeking to leave the communist island nation. Forty Cubans arrived in Florida on the two ships. Cuba said other private vessels reported in the waters near Cuba would be allowed to pick up some of those seeking asylum at the embassy, but cautioned the boats would not replace the “freedom flights.” In the sole plane flight carrying the re fugees, 41 Cubans, including 17 children, arrived in Spain from Havana Monday and were taken to a Red Cross hospital for medical checkups. A high Costa Rican official Monday warned his nation would break relations with Cuba if Havana refuses Costa Rica’s offer to take all of the approximately 9,000 Cubans remaining in the Peruvian Embassy. In another potential snag to the exodus, a source said Peru has refused to accept ab out 300 Cuban refugees already in Costa Rica because they are “anti-social ele ments, common criminals, bad people.” Castro, apparently upset at the hero’s welcome for the Cubans in San Jose, stop ped the shuttle freedom flights that used Costa Rica as the first “bridge,” or way station, on the road to permanent homes in Peru, Spain and the United States. Costa Rica, which promised to give per manent homes to only 300 of the 10,800 seeking to leave Cuba, reversed itself over the weekend and said it would take them all and asked that the flights resume. There has been no response, but the Cuban Consulate in San Jose Monday told Costa Rican officials the Castro govern ment will respond Wednesday. Reports have surfaced indicating that the 1,400 remaining in the embassy include high-ranking dissidents, including a mem ber of the Cuban Cabinet — a man who fought alongside Castro to topple President Fulgencio Batista in 1959. “These people don’t trust the govern ment to give them safe passage,” the source said. “We think those people may be very close to the (Cuban) government, perhaps high officials.” Another Western diplomat said the 1,400 must have a “powerful reason” for rejecting the safe conduct passes. Pa. battle is a keystone for Ted, Bush United Press International PITTSBURGH — President Carter and Ronald Reagan had the opportunity today to effectively knock Sen. Edward Kennedy and George Bush out of the 1980 nomina tion races. The question was whether Pennsylvania would provide the votes. The weather was right for a big turnout by the state’s 2.9 million Democrats and 2.2 million Republicans. The National Weather Service called for “another beautiful sunny day, with high readings from the mid 60s to the low 70s.” The last published polls showed Carter and Reagan ahead in the quest for the state’s 185 Democratic and 83 Republican delegates. But the campaign pollsters and indepen dent soundings showed Kennedy and Bush, who have few big states left where they can close the delegate gap, were not out of it and both worked hard in the state in the closing days to keep their flickering campaigns alive. The delegates were the prize in Pennsyl vania, but neither Carter nor Reagan were in danger of losing the big leads they have built up since January. The president had 960 delegates and Kennedy had 486.5 in the race for the 1,666 needed to lock up the Democratic nomina tion. Reagan led Bush, 547 to 96, with 998 needed to win on the GOP side. Rep. John Anderson, not on the Pennsylvania ballot, had 56. There were two Senate primary fights to help the turnout. Former Pittsburgh Mayor Pete Flaherty, a Democrat, and for mer Philadelphia prosecutor Arlen Spec ter, a Republican, were favored for the nominations to seek the seat of retiring GOP Sen. Richard Schweikcr, Reagan’s proposed running-mate in 1976. The Kennedy camp has admitted Penn sylvania is crucial to bolster its claim that Carter cannot carry the populous Northern states Democrats traditionally need to win the presidency. It hopes to parlay a win in Pennsylvania with another Saturday in the Michigan Democratic caucuses. The Carter campaign puts less value on Pennsylvania, but believes a victory for the president really would leave the Mas sachusetts senator in a hopeless situation with few big delegate-rich states left in which Kennedy could gain ground. Mother visits son in U.S. embassy United Press International TEHRAN, Iran — Wisconsin housewife Barbara Timm clasped the hand of her Marine son, Kevin, for 45 minutes during the first visit of a relative to any of the hostages. President Abolhassan Bani-Sadr, speak ing at the campus of Tehran University, lashed out at President Carter and told 10,000 Iranians gathered there Iran was not frightened by threats of economic blockade or military attack. Iran is “prepared to make any sacrifice in order to defend its independence, ” he said. The campus resembled a battleground from Monday’s all-day battles between lef tist and Moslem militants, that left three persons dead and 300 injured. Bani-Sadr said the large crowd at the campus demonstrated the power of the Islamic Revolution. “Mr. Carter must know that we can mobilize a gathering of this size in a matter of one hour. He must not try to scare us with threats of an econo mic blockade or military attack. ” In Pueblo, Colo., the parents of another Marine held captive by Iranian militants, Cpl. William Gallegos, said they will mort gage or sell their home to visit their son in Tehran. “We would like to do it, if at all possible,” said Richard Gallegos. A University of Kansas professor who helped arrange several trips by Americans to Tehran, Norman Forer, said three fami lies have contacted him about a visit. He declined to name the families. But in Washington, the State Depart ment said families of the hostages would not be exempt from a ban on travel to Iran. The Timms were en route to Tehran before the law took effect. President Carter, speaking in an inter view on CBS-TV, also said the deteriorat ing political situation in Iran has put the hostages “in jeopardy.” The captives are in their 171st day of captivity. “I think I achieved a minor miracle to day,” Barbara Timm said of her 45-minute visit inside the U.S. Embassy with her son. Marine Sgt. Kevin Hermening, 20. “We never quit holding hands — it was as if we had a permanent attachment to one another,” she said. “There were no tears. He was surprised and overjoyed that I had traveled across the globe to see him.” The visit took place as Tehran University turned into a virtual battlefield with left- wing students battling their Moslem coun terparts with knives, stones and clubs throughout the day. The government closed the university in order to expel all political organizations, based inside since last year’s revolution. Unrest also was reported in Kermanshah in western Iran where students marched in the streets and Tabriz, where Moslem stu dents took over the central building. Mrs. Timm said her son was “strong and in excellent physical condition.” “He never lost faith. He has a deeper religious feeling,” Mrs. Timm, a Roman Catholic from Oak Creek, Wis., said of her impression from the visit — the first time the militants holding the captives allowed a relative to meet with a hostage. “He has gained two pounds,” is familiar with all the sporting events “back home” and “vitally interested in the local baseball team,” she said. “He told me he was now spending his days with several other hostages, reading and playing cards — he said he was the best of the gin rummy players. ” Mrs. Timm spent a total of six hours in the embassy buildings “talking, talking and talking,” and then the students gave her dinner. “We never discussed the other hos tages nor did I see them,” she said. Her husband, Kenneth, accompanied his wife to the embassy but was not permit ted to see his stepson. Islamic Judge Sheikh Sadegh Khalkhali, the self-proclaimed head of Iran’s revolu tionary courts, called for Hermening’s re lease “to show our good will toward the American people.” Headache control study planned By ANGELIQUE COPELAND Campus Staff People bothered by recurring tension headaches may now participate in a headache control program conducted through the educational psychology de partment at Texas A&M University. Fred Drummond, a graduate student at Texas A&M, is studying the treatment of tension headaches as part of his doctoral work in counseling psychology. Drummond said his study will be a com parison of treatments for tension headaches including biofeedback, cognitive coping skills, and a combination of the two treat ments. Biofeedback is not a cure which elimin ates headaches when the person is hooked up to a machine. “Biofeedback gives you information ab out physiological responses by registering muscular activity,” Drummond said. Subjects will have sensors placed on their foreheads. Information about the de gree of muscular activity or tension will be transimitted by the machine in the form of a “beep.” The speed of the beep measures the de grees of relaxation. In this way, people learn to relax until they stop the sound. “This is a skill-building thing where the people are receiving training in muscular control, that can help control responses to stressful situations where headaches might occur.” Drummond said. In the other method Drummond is studying, subjects will monitor their think ing before, during and after a stressful situation and then will be taught ways of dealing with that stress. “The first thing I do is get people to notice what are the situations where they have tension headaches, where they get stressful, and then look at the cues to the situations,” Drummond said. “Most people think it is the situation that causes them to become anxious or stress ful,” he continued. “But it is my opinion that it is more the attitude or beliefs a per son has about a situation that causes him to react in that stressful way.” Drummond now has eight people enrol led in the program, each required to parti cipate an average of two hours per week. He said that he needs a minimum of 24 participants to draw valid conclusions from the study. The program is open to any Bryan- College Station resident. Sessions will be done individually, not in groups.
