Today is Wednesday, April 7,
the 97th day of 1982, with 268 to
follow.
English poet and philosopher
William Wordsworth was horn
April 7, 1770.
On this date in history:
In 1927, the first successful
demonstration of long-distance
television was made between
Washington, D.C., and New'
York City.
In 1943, American and Brit
ish troops accomplished a strate
gic linkup in Tunisia during the
of
North African campaign
World War II.
In 1980, Iran’s Ayatollah
Khomeini said the American
hostages would remain in the
custody of the militants until the
new parliament decided their
fate. President Carter
announced the United States
would break diplomatic rela
tions with Iran and embargoed
exports.
A thought for the day: British
poet William Wordsworth said:
“Minds that have nothing to
confer find little to perceive.”

year’s team will maix..
for the last time April 18 in a
Parent’s Day celebration.
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

days and from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.
Sundays three weeks before
each meet.

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.”
