Recital
Continued from Page 2
from British, German and French com
posers on a three-manual pipe organ
with electric connections that blow air
into pipes as tall as 16 feet.
A&M United Methodist Church was
chosen for the recital because the con
sole, the part of the organ where the
performer sits, can be placed so that
the performer’s hands and feet are visi
ble to the audience.
Reynolds said the organ is often
called the king of instruments because
it uses a lot of power and can produce a
variety of sounds, such as the flute,
oboe and trumpet.
Laurine Marlow, subdean of the lo
cal AGO chapter, said playing the or
gan is fun because of the many options
involved.
“Part of the fun is combining these
sounds when you play,” Marlow said.
“Part of the fun playing the organ is co
ordinating both your hands and feet.”
Reynolds said playing the organ re
quires the whole person, involving even
the mind and soul.
“I think it might be like a painter who
uses all colors at his disposal,” Reynolds
said. “So it’s painting with music.”
The two most difficult aspects of
learning to play the organ, she said, are
balance and coordination.
Marlow said AGO recitals always
prompt at least one person to express in
terest in learning to play the instrument.
“Nearly always someone in the audi
ence who sees it and hears it falls in
love with it,” she said. “If they at least
don’t start learning, they go out and
buy recordings.”
Ron Ollis, an organist and member of
A&M United Methodist Church, said
playing the organ brings him closer to
God and has made him stronger spiritu
ally, especially since playing it is an act
that requires concentration.
Ollis said playing the organ has given
him a new outlook on life and beauty.
In 275 B.C., the organ was invented
by an engineer named Ktesibios of
Alexandria, Egypt, but the earliest or
gan pieces were not composed until the
14th century.
Reynolds said that because the organ
has inspired six centuries of music,
there is a great variety of pieces from
which to choose.

Experts
debate
merits of
castration
HOUSTON (AP) - Am
fessed .child molester says hell
lieves castration will take as
the sexual desire he feels ford
dren, but experts differ on hor
fective that really would be.
Some experts say castra:
is no more than a “Bandi
approach” that doesn’t sol
anything.
Larry Don McQuay said
can’t control the urges hell
for children and that castra:
is the only way to makesmi
won’t strike again ifhegii
his freedom in two years,
scheduled.
Removing the testiclesil
pedophile doesn’t change thd
ject of his sexual desire, saidu
doctor, but it does greatly dis
ish the intensity of his sexth
“One man described it as at
cation from sexual desire,”’ss
Dr. Walter Meyer III, aprofes
of psychiatry and endocrino!f|
at the University of Texas '!>
ical Branch in Galveston.
Dr. Michael Warren ofUl
B’s division of urology andi
si on director for health sera
with the Texas Departmenti
Criminal Justice, said castra
is the wrong approach.
“I don’t separate (pedophiii
and rapists),” he said.T
afraid (castration) will prod
a false sense of securitji
everyone.”
The surgery cripples a mil
production of testostera
which controls libido. But it?
tions of the hormone are aa
able and can nullify the effe
of a castration.
Meyer cited a handful off
ropean studies that include:
total of 3,500 men who had:
dergone the operation. He»
2.2 percent committed rejf
sexual crimes, compared:!
recidivism rate of more that
percent without the surge?
Dr. Michael Cox, aps:'-;
gist at Baylor College oitf
cine who treats sex offend’
said the studies are skewed 1
cause all the criminals iwolf
in the European studies w® 1
to stop abusing children.
Also, there was no coup! 1
son made to other forms
treatment, like psychothert!
Cox said.
Meyer rejects Warren’sef
tion of rapists and pedopM
because he says rapists gettf
gratification out of the s#
tion of women, whereas!
dophiles act out a perverted*
ual attraction.
