Outfit commanding officers are getting a refresher
course in how it feels to be a Texas A&M University
Corps of Cadets freshman this week.
Most of the officers have even dressed up for the
occasion, or dressed down as the case may be.
As one of the many traditions surrounding the upcom
ing Texas A&M-University of Texas football game,
freshmen in the Corps stole all their outfit command
ing officers’ uniforms and boots late last week.
As a result, the commanding officers, all seniors, have
since had to resort to wearing “fish” (freshmen) uni
forms.
Their possessions will be held for a specific amount of
time — which varies from to outfit to outfit and usually
corresponds to either the outfit number or the fresh
men’s class year, John Burt, Corps public relations com
mittee member, said. Yet nearly all the items should be
surrendered by the end of this week, Burt said.
Kidnapped commanding officers tied up on the Corps
Quad or to a dormitory commode are also not uncom
mon sights during this week’s assault.
The now bootless commanding officers wearing fish
uniforms may chuckle about their predicament, but
they make sure the instigators of the thefts and kidnap
pings do not escape unpunished.
Sophomores ‘push’Friday
All freshmen have, been “put on a list,” Burt said,
which amounts more or less to being grounded, being
under 24-hour inspection and having to abide by several
regulations.
List regulations include such things as requiring
freshmen to wear combat boots laced up backwards and
to speak “three deep.” Speaking three deep means the
freshmen must identify the upperclassmen in their out
fit not only by name, but also by hometown and major,
when addressing them.
Among the rules is also one making the freshmen get a
pass signed by their commanding officer to go any
where, even to eat lunch or go to the bathroom, Burt
said.
The longer the freshmen harbor their commanding
officer’s possessions, the longer the list becomes and the
more dreaded the punishments.
“The point of the whole deal is to build unity in the
freshmen class, just to pull them together,” Burt said.
“All the C.O. s (commanding officers) know it’s going
to happen. They usually arrange with their roommate to
let the fish come in and take all their stuff when they
aren’t home.”
And once the freshmen’s ploy is a success, the game
begins.

Hypnotism helps
igs quit habits
By BARBARA LYNCH
Battalion Reporter
People under hypnosis won’t re
peal their innermost secrets, but
hey might find help for their most
iinoying habits, a psychologist at
pas A&M University said.
1 Mary Cox, who is a therapist with
pie Department of Educational
sychology, says hypnosis is a “tech-
ique to get where you want to go.”
Several doctoral students in edu-
itional psychology have been using
ypnosis to treat persons with com-
laints ranging from anxiety to nail-
iting. Cox has been conducting a
inicto help smokers kick the habit,
hough the fall smoking clinic is
most over, Cox said another will
robably start in the spring.
“It (hypnosis) teaches you to get in
Duch with the feelings that allow you
nosis session while others are not
helped much by the sessions.
“It doesn’t work for everybody,”
she said.
The therapy programs in the edu
cational psychology department are
free of charge to students, and Cox
said that any habit or personal prob
lem can be treated by the therapists.
Most of the therapy is done on an
individual basis.

The sophomore class is sponsoring
a Class of ’83 Bonfire Day Friday in
an effort to encourage the entire class
to work on the project, which is near
ing its final stages on the field behind
Duncan Dining Hall.
A dance at the Quonset Huts will
follow.
Sophomore Class President Mike
Lawshe said sophomores will be
given preference over upperclass
men working on the bonfire that day.
Even so, redpots (members of the
Corps of Cadets in charge of opera
tions) and yellowpots (civilians who
are also in authoritative positions)
will still oversee the project as a
whole, he said.
Sophomore women are also in
vited to take part in the sophomore
“push” day by working concessions
at the site. Sign-up lists Friday will
be available at the concession stands
for women interested in partici
pating.
All sophomore participants will be
distinguished by wearing some type
of blue arm band, Lawshe said.
A dance in the Quonset Huts will
follow the Class of ’83 Bonfire Day
from 7 to 12 p.m. It will be open to
anyone, but admission tickets must available in front of Duncan Dining
be purchased in advance — $2 for Hall or in the Commons. Fifty kegs
men and $ 1 for women—and will be of beer will also be provided.

“You have to want to be hypno-

Dentists sometimes use hypnot-
im to minimize their patients’ pain,
thletes can improve concentration
coordination through hypnosis,
can also help with memory prob-
