Among those professors

Charles P. Giammona and Her
man Brown.
Other candidates include
Councilman Pat Boughton,

Below is a listing of the candi
dates for contested races includ
ing biographical information
and their opinions on key issues
in the election:
College Station City Council
Place 2:
Dr. Robert C. Runnels is a
15-year resident of College Sta
tion and has served on the coin-
cil for the past two years and is a
professor in the meteorology
department at Texas A&M Uni
versity.
He is the chairman of the
1981-86 Capital Improvements
Program advisory committee
and has done teaching and re
search at Texas A&M and
NASA.
Runnels said the city needs to
make provision for increased
fire and police protection and
emergency services.
Also, the community’s econo
mic base needs to be improved
and city efforts must be in
creased to protect existing
neighborhoods, he said.
Increased planning and
maintenance are also important
to assure the continuation of the
high community standards of
College Station as is the develop
ment of recreation programs
and facilities, he said.
Dr. Murl Bailey has served
on the College Station Planning
and Zoning Commission for the
past 4 ‘/2 years and is now its vice-
chairman. He has lived in Col
lege Station for 12 years and is a
veterinarian and professor of
toxicology in the Texas A&M
veterinary medicine college.
Bailey proposes an increase in
the rate at which the city streets
are repaired and, in order to
maintain all city services, a re-
evaluation of the salary struc
ture of our city workers.
In addition, with the popula
tion of College Station increas
ing, fire and police protection as
well as finding a source of suffi
cient water to meet community
needs should be studied.
Place 6:
Dr. James H. Dozier has
served on the council for 12
years, is a former city attorney,
has practiced law for 32 years
and is on the board of directors
of the Brazos County Appraisal
District. He is also an associate
professor in the finance depart
ment at Texas A&M.
The city needs to increase
utility service to insure an ade
quate supply at an economical
price, he said.
Also, there is a need for better
police, fire and ambulance ser
vice, traffic control and street
maintenance, he said.
Dozier also would like to see
the city establish recreational
facilities for older citizens and a
beautification of the city and its
parkland and thououghfares.
Lynn Nemec is a homemaker
and a member of the College
Station Parks and Recreation
Board and has worked at the
Bryan-College Station Chamber
of Commerce.
An increase in the police force
with added emphasis on crime
prevention and drug enforce
ment and an expansion of the
emergency medical service and
fire prevention program is
needed by the city, she said.
Continued development of
city and neighborhood parks
and proper inforcement of city
ordinances were also deemed
important by Nemec.
College Station School Board
Position 1:
Ann Jones has been on the
CSISD Board of Trustees for
three years and is a member of
the Brazos County Appraisal .
District Board. She is also a
member of the College Station 1
Zoning Adjustment Board.
College Station is a fast grow
ing community, she said, and
the school district will be need
ing more classrooms and qual
ified teachers.
And, although the district has
made great strides in the areas ,
of maintenance both on i
grounds and facilities, persever- !
ence will be need to continue.
Jones said projected enroll
ment figures have been made by
the board and the administra
tion up through 1986 to deter
mine the district’s need for addi
tional facilities and the figures
will be revised when needed.
Dr. Charles P. Giammona is 1
an executive officer of the
CSISD Parent-Teacher Organi-

zation and is the deputy mana
ger of the civil engineering de
partment’s interdisciplinary re
search program.
Facilities are only part of the
planning that the school district
must address, he said. Buildings
give external luster to the com
munity, but properly educating
children, teacher morale and
the district’s reputation must
also be thoughtfully handled.
There is also a need for repre
sentative input from teachers,
parents and community leaders
to communicate more wholistic
views of educational needs to the
district’s administrators.
He cites overcrowding in
elementary schools as a major
problem of the district along

Prof says hypnosis
may solve problems
by June DuVall
Battalion Reporter
The key to effective hypno
sis is relaxing and enjoying it,
a Texas A&M psychology pro
fessor told a group of high
school students Wednesday.
Dr. Robert Reilley, profes
sor of educational psychology,
spoke on the subject during a
seminar sponsored by the Col
lege of Education’s Gifted and
Talented Institute.
Selected students from
Bryan, Conroe, Hearne,
Navasota, Wallas-Orchard,
Crockett, and Rockdale
school districts were given a
short test to see how much
they thought they knew about
hypnosis. Results were sur
prising, Reilly said, since
there’s been no success in de
termining what hypnosis real
ly is.
Reilley said the public is in
terested in hypnosis and its
progress because it is an excit
ing, mysterious and intri
guing process. He said people
also feel hypnosis helps solve
personal problems.
Hyponosis also shows
promise for advancement in
the areas of medicine, dentis
try and psychology, Reilley
said.
At one point in the seminar,
students were told to sit back,
close their eyes and concen
trate on his suggestions of re
laxation. As the technique
took effect, Reilley told of its
high success rate in medical
use.
Hypnosis is used to help pa
tients overcome pain, reduce
anxiety and fear and control
habits that otherwise might be
hard to deal with, he said.
