Hurricanes
affect B-CS
r , by Shellee Bratton
tteSMu Battalion Reporter
he fact[f'Although Bryan-College Sta-
it down I s more than 150 miles from
the Gulf °f Mexico, area resi-
the cha »■[ can ex P ect to feel the
, n j'Sects of a hurricane if one
rikks the upper Texas coast.
® e(, ne‘tfrAnd, C.L. Benton, Texas
* ^ inttwM University weather station
tanager, said that although this
!SCan’ta*r> hurricane season has been
and ic: ghtl there is no guarantee that
ewon’iv|l| easd . n is over -
ewwayslP’r 5 ^ ar as w ^ ial we ’d expect
e i ' efei if we had a hurricane of
1 lodlerate intensity strike the up-
er Ifexas coast and move over
f to chaiiije. Bryan-College Station area,
jandtoo jere would probably be some
ing on gusts of 50-60 mph, tor-
ry as rains, and local flood-
Benton said.
But, a 50-60 miles per hour
d is not as serious as it might
nd, he said. Such winds are
Jy ! destructive to unanchored
or ™'affile homes or loose shingles.
'andtottb“Ifd be more concerned with
leastte:||| flooding,” Benton said,
:ertificaifparticularly in the low areas.”
mrother effect that a hurri-
kne would have on Bryan-
lollege Station is the large in-
_M|of evacuees from the coast
pbccurred during Hurricane
Jlen two years ago.
Ron Sasse, associate director
f student affairs, said that dur-
gHurricane Allen, more than
people came to the Bryan-
ilollege Station area for shelter.
“Highway 6 was so full, it took
"ours to go from here to Nava-
|)ta.” Sasse said.
Sasse said some of the people
jayed in hotels and motels, and
few stayed with families who
pened their homes to the eva-
iees. Many of them stayed in
ie north side residence halls on
te Texas A&M campus.
“We had put out news bulle-
bs that the residence halls were
wailable to the evacuees, since
■ley were empty for summer,”
Sasse said. “Some people stayed
one night, some, two. When the
hurricane was over, everyone
just went home.”
Jake Canglose, Brazos Coun
ty civil defense director, said
that the civil defense depart
ment is working now to arrange
accomodations for evacuees in
the event of another tropical
storm.
“What we are doing now is
working with the Red Cross and
surveying all the public schools
and public buildings in Bryan-
College Station for possible faci
lities,” Canglose said. “What
we’d do if there were a large
scale evacuation is set up a civil
defense control center which
would have key persons and the
Red Cross there to handle the
evacuees.”
Canglose said that the opera
tion would require the joint
cooperation of the two cities, the
county, the University, and the
Red Cross.
Benton said that even though
hurricane season, which runs
from June through October, is
nearly over, there is still the pos
sibility that a tropical storm or a
hurricane will strike the Texas
coast.
“There is no way to predict
when or where these systems will
develop,” he said. “They typical
ly develop in the tropics from
pre-existing minor disturbances
and even if we see a suspicious
area on the satellite, or from
ship reports, it will take days and
days for anything to develop —
if at all.
“In October and November,
we begin getting moderate cold
fronts that are reaching the Gulf
and the southern portions of the
western Atlantic. These fronts
provide the mechanism for a
transfer of heat from the tropic,
and so chances of a major hurri
cane will decrease with the pas
sage of time.”

Lessons
Hypnotist entrances Rudder audience
by Kathleen Hart
Battalion Reporter
Hypnotist Ruth Carroll de
lighted an audience Wednesday
night in Rudder Theater witli
her exhibitions of control over
people: writhing with imaginary
ants attacking them, visibly
sweating and shivering, unable
to move an arm or a leg,
laughing or crying almost un
controllably — all because of her
suggestions.
Carroll, sponsored by MSC
Great Issues and MSC Base
ment, replaced Edwin Baron
who had had a heart attack.
Carroll, known as “the blond
hypno-miss,” began her show
with a request for volunteers
and dozens responded. She then
found those who were most easi
ly hypnotized by having them
relax, close their eyes and listen
to her suggestion that their fin
gers were so tightly laced
together above their heads that
they could not separate them.
After “awakening,” more
than half the volunteers could
not get their hands apart, and
some in the audience had to be
led to the stage for her assistance
in order to put their hands again
at their sides.
Those whose hands were
most tightly stuck together were
chosen for the remainder of
Carroll’s demonstrations, which
included convincing the volun
teers that they were in a 110-
degree room — which made the
people sweat.

Eighty-five percent said
