Page 6 THE BATTALION MONDAY, APRIL 6, 1981 Local / National Press secretary makes ‘extraordinary’ progress Brady responds to doctors’ rapid questioninj United Press International WASHINGTON — Doctors are testing White House press secretary James Brady s recovery from brain surgery with a volley of questions, and they said Saturday his answers indi cate he is making “extraordinary” progress. The 40-year-old Brady, whose White House post involves answering questions from news reporters, was shot in the head during Monday’s assassination attempt on President Reagan. His injury was so critical that it was uncertain at first whether he would survive — and the television networks, in fact, reported erroneously that he had died. Brady has been improving rapidly since surgery Monday and was moved Saturday out of intensive care to a private room. The big question has been what brain damage he may have suffered from the path of the bullet and surgery to remove it. Saturday, Dr. Dennis O’Leary, spokesman for George Washington University Medical Center, said Brady is show ing a steadily improving recognition ability. He demonstrated a “higher integrative function’’ — involving memory and personality — in answering rapid-fire questions put to him Saturday, O’Leary said, and was able to make slightly “more movement ’ physically than before. O’Leary said Brady’s brain surgeon, Robert Kobrine, asked Brady several questions in rapid fire succession Saturday in a conversation that went something like this: Doctor: “What does your job involve?” Brady: “I answer questions.” Doctor: “From whom?” Brady: “Anyone who asks them.” Doctor: “What do you do?” Brady: “Press secretary at the White House.” Doctor: “Who is the president?” Brady: “Ronald Reagan.” Doctor: “How old is he?” CATH Brady: “Seventy-one.” Reagan is 70, but O’Leary said he would give Brady year. O’Leary described the exchange as “very rapid convei tion — quite encouraging. ” Noting Brady’s serious condition on Monday, heai “It’s an extraordinary case. He’s making very, very-ji progress.” | President Reagan has been given a daily update on Bn who was taken off the critical list Friday. When he heardti Brady was answering questions, Reagan was quoted byail as replying, “That’s great news, just great.” by Fox 1 day service on color rolls brought in by 1:00 p.m. 3837 Old College Rd.

From September 1980 to January 1981, 747 students withdrew from Texas A&M, a decrease from 764 withdrawing from September 1979 to January 1980. When a student wants to with draw, he must first go to Morris’ office and fill out a confidential form telling why. Filling out the form takes about an hour, Morris said. The student next takes the form to be signed by people in several offices designated by Morris. “It doesn’t matter what order the form is signed in, just as long as it is signed by the right number of people,” he said. How many people sign the form depends on the college the student is enrolled in and other circumstances, he said. The num ber of required signatures is usual ly no less than three and no more than eight. When the form has the re quired signatures, that means the student’s records have been cleared in those particular depart ments. Not returning the form means the student is still enrolled, Morris said. It generally takes a student from three days to two weeks to go through the signing process, he said. If a student withdraws within the first four weeks of classes, he is eligible for fee refunds, but if he withdraws after the fourth week, no fees are refunded. All withdrawals must be cleared through the student finan cial aid office. Students receiving no financial aid then take the f# back to Morris. “If the student has anyhpe financial aid, 1 work closely him on an individual basis," si student A I tonigl The c< 1956, is sp Agricultur ANY LARGE TI m *H oo C $1.00 OFF MORE ITEM PIZZA. m H 10 ONE COUPON PER PIZZA.
