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.”

Students wishing to withdraw
from Texas A&M University must
start the withdrawal process at
the All Faiths Chapel.
“It’s funny to see people’s reac
tion when they find out where my
office is,” said Ed Morris, admi
nistrative assistant to the director
of student affairs. “I hear all kinds
of jokes about the sin of withdraw
ing from the University.”
His office is located in the
Chapel because the space was
available and students often need
privacy, he said. “But it’s just a
temporary arrangement. ”

Since 1946, an average of 2.37
percent of the total number of stu
dents enrolled in the University
have withdrawn each semester.
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.

financial aid, 1 work closely
him on an individual basis," si student A
