Cotton Queen Candidate
Kayla Ganong (L) was selected Tarleton State University's
nominee to the annual Cotton Queen Pageant at Texas
A&M University April 6-7 and Ellna Birt was named
runnerup at the conclusion of competition on the TSU
campus last week. Kayla is a sophomore from Godley and
Ellna is a sophomore from Mineral Wells.
Kreskin to perform
Kreskin, the world's most
famous mentalist and a foremost
authority in the field of Extra
Sensory Perception (ESP), will
present a program next
Thrusday on campus. The
program will be held in the main
auditorium starting at 7:30 p.m.
The appearance by Kreskin
will be sponsored by the
Tarleton Civic Series Committee
and will be frefe to TSU students
with ID cards. Admission for
others will be $3 for adults and
$1 for public school students.
Kreskin is a native of New
Jersey and holds a B.A. degree in
psychology from Seton Hall
University. He has also been
awarded an honorary doctorate
by the same school for his study
in the field of ESP for the past
several years.
Aside from more than 200
appearances on the "Mike
Douglas Show" and the
"Tonight" show, Kreskin has
worked with dentists and
physicians and acts as a
consultant to clinical
psychologist.
As a television personality
Kreskin's widely syndicated
show "The Amazing World of
Kreskin" is beamed throughout
the United States as well as
Canada, Australia, New Zealand,
Japan, Scotland, the Phillipines,
and Ireland.
Kreskin has devoted his life
to untangling the fascinating
unknown of the human mind.
He has been described as a
"scientific investigator" of the
power of suggestion and various
areas of ESP. Kreskin uses his
own personality, persuasiveness
and sensitivity to guide, suggest,
direct, and command in order to
project thoughts and receive
impressions.
On stage, Kreskin uses
conjuring, sensitivity,
suggestibility and humor. Humor
is an integral aspect of his
performance, not only for the
benefit of his audience, but also
to allow himself to break from
the binding tension under which
he works.
As a child, Kreskin developed
his now famous "check test"
feat, in which he invites anyone
to hide a check he^ will receive
for his performance, and if.
through ESP he is unable to find
the check he forfeits his
payment for his appearance.
The April 5 performance by
Kreskin is open to the public.

Budget might be restored
to the medical technology
program and may grant an
additional $75,000 to the
nursing program.
But he said he isn't sure if
:$I20,000 cut by the Legislative
Budget Board from thfe data
'processing program will be
restored.
TSU's budget for the current
fiscal year is $7.7 million. The
school has requested $8.6
million for 1980 and $9.1 million
for 1981. The LBB recommended
cutting TSU's budget to $6.9
million for 1980 and $7.3 million
for 1981.
Dr. Trogdon argued that

President W.O. Trogdon said
Tuesday he believes chances are
good that the Texas Legislature
will restore funds cut from two
of three new TSU academic
programs.
Dr. Trogdon returned to
Stephenville Tuesday after
spending several days in Austin
meeting with the House
Appropriations Committee in an
attempt to restore some of
TSU's 1980-81 budget requests.
Allocations for the medical
technology program, nursing
program and data processing
program for the next biennium
are less than requested by TSU.
He said he thinks the
legislature may restore $150,000

budget, would hinder the overall
academic program at TSU. He
also asked for additional funds
to be made available for merit
salary increases for faculty and
other school employees.
Across-the-board pay raises
alone "will not be rewarding
those people who go that extra
mile," he said.
Dr. J . 0 . A u t r y , vice
president, said Monday that
enrollments probably would
have to be restricted in the
medical technology and nursing
programs if the LBB's
recommended fund cuts are not
restored.
"Without the requested
funding -for medical technology
and nursing," he said Monday,
"it is doubtful that we can
continue the programs at their
present enrollment. We could
likely sustain quality programs
at reduced enrollment."
He said data processing
funding cuts likewise would
. restrict instruction.
"Not receiving the funding
for data processing services and
equipment would mean that we
will not be able to do all the
on-hand type instruction that we
would like and it would be more
difficult for us to provide all the
services needed for state and
federal reporting."
