A most interesiting topic, con-
didered cague by many people,
was the subject of the Psycho
logy Seminar held March 15, in
the East Beam study parlor.
The topic was “Hypnotism” and
was discussed most thoroughly
by Mr. Harrison Tawney of the
Brevard College psychology de
partment.
Mr. Tawney presented a short
talk on the history and the de
velopment of hypnotism. He
painted out that today, hypno
tism plays a vital role in medi
cal research. It is most bene
ficial in childbirth, dentistry,
2nd several other areas of medi-
'cine.
After discussion of the topic,
Mr. Tawney utilized four stud-
ist in its String Quarter. He
now heads the Ciompi Quartet
of Duke University. In 1954 Mr.
Ciompi became a citizen of this
country. During the summers
of 1950 and 1951 he was a mem

War n, he was a scholarship
student at the Juilliard School
—Turn to Page Two
ents in demonsitrations of hyp
notism. Sue Anderson, Sue Pil-
arski, Jim MoCombs, and Anita
Thrower all became subjects
and thus demonstrated hypno
tism in action.
One of the subjects, Anita
Thrower, described her exper
ience with hypnotism in this
way; “When I was placed un
der, I could hear only Mr. Taw-
ney’s voice and tiny noises
around the room. The noises
may have been someone else
talking or something, but they
only came to me as tiny noises.
“Mr. Tawney asked me to
hold my arm straight out by
my side. He said that it was
feaitiher - light, and it was. It
felt as if someone was holding
it. Then he pinched me three
times on ithe hand, and I could
not feel it
“When I was brought out of
the trance, I awoke very grad
ually. I had a misconception
about hypnotism, thinking that
at l3he snap of the fingers, you
were out of the trance right
away. But it was more like
waking up, say in the morn
ing.”
“The seminar was intended
to educate students in hypnosis,
rather than entertain them. The
day of the stage hypno.tist is
certainly gone,” commented
Mr. Tawney.
Mr. Ta^vney received his train
ing in hypnosis at the Interna
tional Institute of Hypnwis.
He states that he has obtained
a kit with tape from McGraw-
Hill Compiany for use in his
psychology classes.
Mr. Tawney also sitated that
due to initeresit in the seminar,
another one of the same topic
is being planned for this se
mester.
