_ _News_ Hypnotist from page 1 tized for the hypnosis to work. “You do it to yourself: I don’t do it to you. I just lead you through a process that, if you try, it will work,” he said. When people are under hypnosis, An thony said, they’re actually aware of what’s going on. He sakl the unconscious mind makes people believe crazy things, but he also stressed that hypnotized students wouldn’t do anything against their moral code. “The unconscious mind is the part of your mind that, if I say to you what your feet feel like inside of your shoes, suddenly, you become aware of that,” Anthony said. “Really, the feeling’s been there all day, but the unconscious mind has been dealing with it on its own.” Engineering sophomore Lerone Co hen was one of those hypnotized. He said it was his goal to do everything Anthony told him to do. “It was a strange feeling. It was like be ing wide awake and knowing what you’re doing, except you’re acting, and you’re want ing to act to fulfill whatever he asks you to do,” Cohen said. Senior Peter Szabo said what people do under hypnosis could be perceived as a way of expressing things about them that might not be expressed in any other way. “The people on the stage did what the audience did not dare do,” Szabo said. Thilo Bocklisch, an engineering gradu ate student, said the show influenced him a great deal. “1 really enjoyed the show. It had a very big effect on me. I think it really touched me in a way,” Bocklisch said. Anthony travels around the United States performing his act, and he said he loves what he does. “I love to work with people, and I love to come to school and entertain everybody,” Anthony said. “That’s half the game for me, is seeing a crowd full of people laughing at what I’m doing.” CP is thinking about having Anthony or someone like him back later this year. “Each year, it seems to get even more popular,” Scott said. “This year, we had standing room on ly. As far as seats within the ballroom, we did not have enough seats for the people to sit in.” Freshmen from page 1 are visits to nursing homes and participation in the City Year program. “Our social programs are there to show the students a good time,” Eaddy said “We take them skating or bowling.” To help freshmen with the academic as pects of their college experience, MAPP has a series of speakers teach students about study skills and test-taking strategies. MAPP mentors also act as tutors for their students. MAPP not only teaches willing fresh men about techniques that will make them better in the classroom, but they also open freshmen up to the dangers of STDs and of living on a large campus. “You’re not with mom and dad any more,” Eaddy said. “We want to give the students something to grasp on to. We don’t want them to make the same mistakes as we did. Through our experiences, we want to give them knowledge “We stress the fact that we are mentors and not parents. We are going to be their friends. “We want to be the liaison between the Office of Multicultural Student Affairs and the rest of the university,” Eaddy said. “If they express interest in writing, we’ll tell them about The Gamecock. If they want to be on Student Government, we will help them. Our students go on to great things at this university.” Eaddy said she knows students who went through MAPP who are know involved with the Residence Hall Association, SG, the Na tional Association for the Advancement of Colored People, Association of African American Students and Carolina Produc tions. “They go on to be student leaders of this campus,” Eaddy said. According to Richardson, about 200 freshmen 'are involved with MAPP, but die said that number changes every day. “We get about five students to join every day,” she said. The majors with the most members are biology, nursing and engineering. Eaddy and Richardson encourage all freshmen to consider joining MAPP. “We like to tell the students to let MAPP be your guide,” Eaddy said. Jump from page 1 early ‘90s.

Williams said he enjoyed his experi ence at USC. “It’s clean, the people are nice and there’s good air conditioning,” V 'illiams said. Overall, the audience seemed pleased with the performance. Some have been attending concerts since the band’s ear ly days and find the new crowd to be en joying the music they already know. “It’s neat when you’ve known they are good for so long, and then you hear someone in front of you say, ‘Hey, they’re pretty good,’ ” Earley said. Last week’s activities mark the be ginning of a busy year for CP. Within the next few months, CP will be working on plays, a battle of the bands and home coming. Rush from page 1 i date.
