Scholarship recipients gathe
meet former-student donoi
BY JEANETTE SIMPSON
The Battalion
Thanks to the generosity of Willy Bohlmann Jr.,
Class of ’50, and his family, Jonathan Dean, a junior
mechanical engineering major, was given the oppor
tunity to attend Texas A&M on a $60,000 endowment
which includes a full scholarship and a stipend for
living expenses.
Reed Arena was filled Saturday as more than 700 re
cipients of the President’s Endowed Scholarship and
their donors gathered at a reception held to provide them
an opportunity to meet Aggies past and future.
Dean said he appreciated the opportunity the
Bohlmanns’ have given him.
“I would not be here if it was not for these wonder
ful people,” he said. “They have taken me into their fam
ily, and it is really important that I have this connection
to a family of former students.”
There are three generations of Aggies in the
Bohlmann family, and all of them feel that passing on
the spirit of A&M is important because they understand
how much the University did for them and want that for
others.
“We feel very strongly about giving back to the Uni
versity that has given so much to us,” Bohlmann said.
“My family sees sponsoring this scholarship as not only
investing in the future, but also a way of investing in the
future of A&M.”
Jennifer Moellenberndt, a junior economics major, is
also attending A&M with the Bohlmanns’ help.
“It is so important to get to be with the Bohlmanns
once a year so that we can catch up on what is going on
and it means a lot to me that someone is willing to sup
port me and my education,” she said.
“It is nice to know that someone cares enough
about me to come here every year and see how things
are going.”
Rose Ann McFadden, communications manager for
the Texas A&M Foundation and a former President’s En
dowed Scholarship recipient, said former students real
ize how much the school gave to them, and they want
to give back to the University.
“They see what Texas A&M did for them, and they
want that for the future,” McFadden, Class of ’90,

said. "Many of our donors were first-generatic

education helped them build their lives, anc

Lecturer speaks on vibrators
Campus Calendar
BY BROOKE HODGES
The Battalion
Dr. Rachel Maines will lecture on
topics from her book. The Technical
Orgasm, which outlines the history
of the electronic vibrator and its use
as a treatment for hysteria, today at
4 p.m. in Rudder 301.
Maines began researching
needlework, but through a change
in direction, a large amount of re
search and the writing of a book,
she is here today to speak about the
electronic vibrator.
While studying the history of
needlework in 1920s magazines,
Maines said she noticed that elec
tronic vibrators were being adver
tised for their medicinal purposes.
She said she began researching
the history of the vibrator and how
it was used for purposes other than
sexual satisfaction.
In 1989, Maines had an article on
the history of the technology of the
electronic vibrator printed in the
journal of the Institute for Electrical
and Electronic Engineers Technolo
gy and Society, which received ob
jections from many engineers who
said the material was not technical.
Maines said the opposition did
not hinder her research, but helped
by bringing attention to the article
and her field of study.
During her research, she found
accounts of doctors using electronic
vibrators and manual massaging to
treat women for hysteria in the ear
ly 1900s. Doctors cannot agree on
the definition of hysteria, but Maines
said the symptoms are normal in fe
male sexuality.
“The symptoms were sleepiness,
anxiety, vaginal lubrication and sex
ual fantasies,” she said.
Johnathan Coopersmith, an asso
ciate professor of history, said the lec
ture, which is sponsored by the De
partment of Women’s Studies,
History, Anthropology and the Cen
ter for Humanities research, also will
focus on the social camouflage used
in advertising, especially in the case
of the vibrator.
“Social camouflage is when you
advertise something for one pur
pose, though it may be used for an
other,” he said.
Coopersmith said the use of an
electronic vibrator was more conve
nient for women suffering from this
disease because they did not have to
visit their doctors when faced with
hysteria.
