Any freshman cadet is eligible to join the FDT at the beginning of the fall semester. This year the FDT started with 100 mem bers, but now there are only 40. “We lost about 50 percent of the team at the beginning of this semester because of the 2.0 grade point requirement in order to stay on the team, and we lost a few more who did not have enough time to devote to the Corps and their major,” FDT junior adviser Don Brack ett said. FDT members regularly practice from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. This year members also prac ticed from 8 a.m. to noon Satur days and from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Sundays three weeks before each meet. Battalion Reporter The study of folk medicine will be discussed by Dr. Wayland D. Hand at 2:30 p.m. today in 501 Rudder. The graduate lecture, spon sored by the Medical Sciences Library, the departments of En glish and geography and the College of Medicine, is entitled “Comparative Folk Medicine: the New Agendum.” Hand, a professor emeritus of German and folklore at the Uni versity of California in Los Angeles, has served as president of the American Folklore Socie ty and of the California Folklore Society. In 1965, he became the first American to win the Ciuseppi Pitre International Folklore Prize for his two- volume edition of “Popular Be liefs and Superstitions from North Carolina.” Folk medicine is the non- scientific treatment of disease practiced traditionally among the common people. It usually involves the use of herbs or other natural substances. Mary Ann Dickson, assistant to the dean of the Texas A&M medical school, said folk medicine is practiced in many societies, in cluding our own. Dickson said the medical school is considering the addi tion of a special folk medicine collection to the Medical Scien ces Library. German club presents play in native language Thursday The Texas A&M German Club will sponsor a performance of “Freedom in Crows Corner” at 8 p.m. Thursday in Rudder Forum. The play, to be per formed in German, is based on the 1848 Austrian revolution. “Freiheit in Kraehwinkel,” the play’s name in German, was written by Johann Nestroy. A synopsis of the play, trans lated into English, will be avail able at the door for those who do not speak German lluently. Admission is $1, and tickets are available at the door. A semi-musical, satirical com edy, the play will be performed by members of the German Club who have taken German classes or are taking them now. The play is directed by Wulf Koepke, a Texas A&M German pro fessor. “We only have one native speaker,” Roger Crockett, an assistant professor of German, said. “All of the rest of the actors are students of German.” EASTER GLADNESS 3901 S.
