In Advance
ecture to focus on psychology theory
The Jungian Society of the
Brazos Valley will meet Thursday

trank McMillan, Jr. will speak on
ijnodern trends toward Jungian
sychology, said Dr. David
osen, of the Psychology Depart
ment.
McMillan, Class of T2, recently
as endowed the chair of Analyti-
al Psychology, Rosen said. This
chair is the first and only chair of
its type in the world and will put
Texas A&M on the map in new
methods of studying psychology.

I Interested in a celebration?
Thursday is the 200th anniver
sary of the signing of the United
States Constitution and a nation
wide tribute has been planned to
celebrate this significant event in
IjJ.S. history.
I The national commission on
the bicentennial of the United
States Constitution has invited
Te xas A&M — along with every
American and every institution —
to participate in “Bells Across
America — A Ringing Tribute to
the Constitution.”
■ A&M’s political science honor
SO' iety, Pi Sigma Omega, has or
ganized A&M’s part in the event,
said Dr. Bonnie Browne, PSO ad
viser.
■ Exa York of A&M’s Educatio
nal Information Services said a
ringing tribute from the Albrit
ton Tower will start Thursday at
3 p.m., the time of the signing of
the Constitution. Bells will be
ringing simultaneously across the
nation for 200 seconds, York
said.
H EIS is responsible for prepar
ing the tower’s electronic bell sys
tem to play patriotic music before
.pealing the bells.
Twc^umdi^t^^d^whitt^an^
blue helium-filled balloons will be
released by students, one per sec
ond, York said.
All students are invited to
gather by the Lawrence Sullivan
Ross statue at 2:30 p.m. Thurs
day, where 200 bicentennial bal
loons will be distributed, she said.
The procession will pass by
Rudder Fountain on the way to
the Westgate Memorial on the
corner of the drill field, York
said, and students may join the
celebration at any time.
Browne said her participation
in this project is aimed at getting
students interested in the bicen
tennial year. Browne said she’s
hoping the tribute v\'ill spur re
flection on the blessings of liberty
and ideals of justice made possi
ble by the Constitution.
“The Constitution is really im
portant,” Browne said. “Ho
wever, it is of no value if it does
not live in people’s hearts and
minds.”
The document was formed
when, on Sept. 17, 1787, 39 men
signed their names to it, establish
ing the world’s first government
of the people, by the people and
for the people.
People with questions about
Bells Across America should con
tact Browne at 845-2121 or York
at 845-4600.
Litter slogan
helps keep
roads clean
AUSTIN (AP) — Texas’ tough-
talking advertising program to stop
littering along its roadways is paying
off, the state highway department
said Tuesday.
The $2 million-a-year “Don’t mess
with Texas” campaign began two
years ago and the department re
leased results of a survey Tuesday
that showed visible litter in Texas
has decreased by 54 percent since
1985.
“I don’t know if it was Stevie Ray
Vaughan’s growl, Randy White’s
menacing threat, Mike Scott’s explo
sive pitching or volunteer efforts by
thousands of Texans, but Texas is
no longer losing the war against
trash on our roadsides,” said Don
Clark, director of the highway de
partment’s travel and information
division.
The survey by the Institute for
Applied Research in Sacramento,
Calif, also showed soft drink- and
beer-container littering had declined
by 66 percent during the past two
years.
Clark said state cleanup efforts
cost nearly $50 million in 1985-86
but the annual cost increase has de
clined from 15-20 percent a year to
6.5 percent.
Besides the “Don’t mess with
Texas” slogan, the department be
gan the “Adopt-a-Highway” pro
gram in which volunteers remove
trash from two-mile sections of road
ways. In July, 4,700 miles, or 6 per
cent of state-maintained roads, were
being cleaned by volunteers. Litter
ing is decreased by more than 64
percent in areas with volunteers
cleaning the roadsides.
“In Texas we are making litter an
unacceptable behavior with a tough
message that, while it has had its mo
ments of controversy, is now a popu
lar battle cry that rivals ‘Remember
the Alamo,’ ” Clark said.
