DALLAS — William D. Slattery, former vice president of Trans World Airlines, was named president and chief operating officer of the new Braniff International airlines yesterday.
Jay Pritzker, chairman of the Hyatt Corp., which is financing the Branifi resurrection, will be chairman of the airline's board.
"I was impressed with Bill." Pritzker said. "I continued to meet other people, but I became convinced Bill was the man for the job."
SLATTERY, 40, WAS employed 16 years by TWA, most recently as vice president of the international division.
"We will be based in Dallas, hubbed in Dallas with about 70 departures a day." Slattery said. "We will fly to the major cities on the East Coast, the West Coast and in between."
Slattery said that the exact route schedule was still under study and that he could not be more specific. He said the reorganization deal with Hyatt probably be consumed by Dec. 15.
March 1 is the target date for the airline to begin flying again with about 30 Boeing 727 jet aircraft. He said that the March 1 commencement would get the airline the commercial passenger period and that he expected June 1984 to be the first financial break-even month of the new carrier.

"You learn how not to interfere with the body's basic mechanism for balance and integration."
He said that adults lost the grace they had as children because they become used to interfering with the body's coordinating mechanisms.
AND THE TECHNIQUE is not restricted to a certain type of person, he said.
THE ENVIRONMENT OFTEN forces people habitually to use their bodies incorrectly. The Alexander Technique tries to make people aware of posture mistakes to help them avoid unnecessary stress and health problems, he said.
whether it is to find the right posture for playing the violin or the easiest movements for playing tennis, the Alexander Technique can help, he said. "You take whatever someone is interested in doing," he said.

The most common posture problem, which can seriously affect health, is a tightening of the neck muscles as the head is tilted back, he said.
The technique has helped many people lead a life free from unnecessary stress and tension but it is also a great way to enhance dancers, dancers and musicians, he said.
But the technique is not about stiffening the body to achieve the "right" posture.
"Inhibition is only an active 'no' to something you discover that you don't need to do," he said. "The right thing functions by itself, if you let it."

"Often with dancers, their own unconscious habits can inhibit their movement," she said. Alexander is a young student so she the movement is light and free."
"At the heart of the technique is choice," he said. "Everybody always thinks about the result rather than about the way they do it."
HE SAID THAT famous writers like George Bernard Shaw and T. S. Eliot had used the technique and that Aldous Huxley had written about it.
Most people habitually move in ways that strain the body, but the Alexander Technique can help them regain natural ease and gracefulness, said Steven Glassman, who is visiting the University of Kansas this week.
"I would love to have an Alexander teacher on the faculty," she said. "It really is important."
"All of us tend to shrink and collapse a little more than we should," he said. "The balance of the head in relation to the spine governs balance and coordi-

MANY PEOPLE HABITUALLY use their bodies in the most stressful and unnatural way without ever being aware of doing it, Glassman said.
Janet Hamburg, associate professor of dance and coordinator of the dance program at KU, said the Alexander Technique was useful for dancers because it helped to free their movements.

The most important role of the Alexander Technique is to help people convert routine, habitual movements into deliberate, conscious acts, he said.

Alexander discovered that he had several habits of movement that were straining his vocal chords, in particular, a tightening of the neck muscles as he pushed his head back. Glassman said.
"I wanted to do something in which the person was responsible for his own health," he said.
After spending some time correcting this posture problem, Alexander developed a beautiful voice and doctors referred patients to him. Glassman said.
The Royal College of Music in London and the Juilliard School for the Performing Arts in New York, are among the colleges that include Alexander Technique classes as part of their curriculum. Glassman said
Alexander technicians usually work in 45-minute sessions, in which they ask clients to perform routine movements or activities as part of something from the floor, or performing whatever a client perceives as a common activity, Glassman said.
Glassman said that his interest in the technique was born from a concern for health.

Then, the technicians begin the process of re-educating clients by providing tools to perform these simple movements with the least amount of stress.
