Page Four Hypnotism Floors Skeptics Mildred Ragan, Ada Lane By SARAII GRAY That strangely elusive and mystify ing science known to the layman as hypnotism lias settled upon our psy chology majors, putting one victim after another into deep states of leth argy and causing more than one skep tic to hastily remove a knowing smile. It all started at psychology seminar when Mildred Itagnn and Ada Lane sank into states of complete somnam bulism through the power of sugges tion exercised by Mr. Daryl Kent. Relaxing comfortably in an arm chair and staring into (lie thin flame of a candle, Mildred yielded willingly to Mr. Kent's commands. After he assured her that she could not raise her arm, she couldn't, and when he told her that she could not open her eyes, they just wouldn't open. She listened with great interest to popular tunes played over a radio audible to her alone. Mr. Kent to'.d her that upon awakening she would walk to the other side of the room and straighten a curtain. Mildred con fessed later that although she had wanted to do It, her better judgment hindered her. After all, one does not usually go into another's home and insult the hostess by committing such unethical acts as straightening a cur tain, no matter how unevenly it may be hanging. Ada Lane became an exceptionally good subject, submitting quickly to the will of the hypnotist. When asked what kind of music she preferred, she replied "marches" and soon identified the pulsating rhythms of "The Dog Whistle March" and the march from the Nutcracker Suite, coming over the same radio to which Mildred had listened. (Ed. Note: This is the kind of radio Founders would appreciate during quiet hour.) When Mr. Kent told Ada that Evelyn Pearson was wearing one brown shoe and one white one, she heartily agreed, even accepting the explanation that Evelyn was trying to wear out the white one. Incidentally, Evelyn's shoes were both tan. "Can you name .everyone in this room?" asked Mr. Kent. Ada thought she could and she named correctly everyone present. After she had fin ished, someone told her that Evelyn Pearson had left the room and that she must name them all again. In naming them the second time, Ada looked right at Evelyn but did not name her. lam sure we have all had this experience, only we do not at tribute it to hypnotism. Charlie Lewis, wondering whether Ada was still skeptical on the powers of hypnosis, asked her if she thought she could be hynotlzed. She emphat ically retorted, "No." Mr. Kent then put Charlie partially to sleep, telling him to do everything Evelyn commanded. She told him to scratch his head and he did, but when Ilerbie Pearson told him to straighten his tie, there was no reaction. Ilerbie then said "Please," and Charlie com plied. A person under hypnotic influence will never commit an act opposed to his moral code, so don't try committing your mischievous deeds via hypnosis— it just won't work.

For instance, there's the one about the woman who called up one evening and asked, "What's the minimum tem perature going to be tonight?" Upon receiving an answer, she inquired, "Is that indoors or outdoors?" DeArmns says that the fellows at the Airport are not the ones who tell us whether or not it will rain—at least the.v don't start the gossip. They get the North Carolina forecast from the station at Jacksonville, Florida. If the indications on the map don't quite fit this area, they revamp it. Then they pass on the news via the telephone to the Winston-Salem, High Point, and Greensboro papers. Those interesting little side notes in the paper about the moon rise ami set, the sun ditto, and the humidity are determined in the evening and sent in to the papers in time for morning editions. If you've ever been out to the Airport (is there anyone who hasn't?) you've probably seen a little balloon flying around- at times. If no one had been playing tricks on you, it was probably sent up by a meteorologist who was going to find out the direction and ve locity of the wind. This is one of the jobs that must be done four times a day. One of DeArmns' stories about his job concerns a woman who likes to call him on the telephone. "She's been call ing at Intervals ever since August," says DeArmas. "She wants to know when it's going to freeze, so she can bring In her two geranium plants. I don't know what she'll do if they die." The most thrilling experience he's had on the job was when he saw a plane crash.

He tried to pull his ship up into the air, but something locked, and he couldn't make it. He bailed out about 5000 feet up, south of the field.
