FANN Managing Editor Glenn Dromgoole Sports Editor Lani Presswood Day News Editor Mike Reynolds Night News Editor Clovis McCallister CADET SLOUCH EDITOR’S NOTE: This is the first of two editorials voicing different opinions of Senator Andy Rogers’ limited coeducation bill. Because The Battalion staff is so evenly split on this issue, we feel both sides should be presented. A rebuttal will be published Wednesday. Senator Andy Rogers of Childress, whose limited co education bill passed the senate Military and Veterans Af fairs Committee Wednesday night, has become the proverbial “enigma wrapped in a mystery.” “I am fully aware that this is a public tax supported institution and its primary purpose is to serve the taxpayers in whatever way is best. This bill, as far as I am concerned, is not an old school fight for a bunch of traditions or a Gig- ’Em-Aggies approach,” Rogers told the committee. Can a senator of the obvious qualifications of Mr. Rogers be so naive" What he is suggesting to do is to take the policy-making responsibility of Texas A&M University out of the hands of its duly appointed board of directors and place it under the auspices of partisan politics of the state legislature. His argument appears sound at first glance: Since Texas A&M is a state supported school, then the representatives of the people should decide any aspect of its policy they might wish to change, through the state legisla ture. Albeit, the board of directors of A&M feel it is in the best interests of the school to allow full coeducation and we don’t. Therefore we will reverse their decision and impose the will of the people. To call this a dangerous precedent would be facetious— it is unforgivable mettling in the affairs of the consituted authority at A&M. If Senator Rogers really wants to see changes at A&M, he should change his approach. Instead of overseeing the activities of the board, the legislature should face squarely up to the situation. Either allow the governing authorities at A&M—and all other state universities—to determine local policy, or replace the board with members more favorable to the opinions of the legisla ture. The people of Texas lose on both counts. If the first choice is taken and the legislature continues to dictate, a hostile board will be the result. On the other hand, if these ment are replaced whenever they don’t conform to the whims of Austin, the growth of the school will be stymied. Andy Rigers is opening Pandora’s Box with this bill, and A&M alone will not be the victim. by JimEarle Pl a y erS OpPH; ‘Comedf “I don’t know what th’ issue was or if there was one! He only said that he was expressin’ his opposition by sleeping all weekend!” By JIM HUNT Special Writer Last night the Aggie Players opened the third major drama tic presentation of the season with William Shakespeare’s The Comedy of Errors. The play, one of Bard’s earli est, is high comedy to the ex tent of superb farce. There is no problem of character develop ment and interpretive complica tions which arise in some of Shakespeare’s later comedies. The plot revolves around a sit uation of mistaken identity in volving two sets of twins with the espective twins having the same names. The confusion arises from the visit of Antipholus of Syracuse and his bondsman, Dro- mio, to Ephesus. Unknown to any but the audience, his long lost twin and his bondsman’s twin reside in Ephesns and his brother, Antipholus of Ephesus, is at the time of his visit, having a falling out with his wife. Predictably, the wrong twin is collared by Adriana, the wife of the Ephesian Antipholus. This leads to all sorts of complications when the Syracusean Antipholus and Dromio are in Adriana’s house with the Ephesian Anti pholus and Dromio locked out.

Adding in the bawdy element of Antipholus of Ephesus’ dali- ance with a Courtesan, occuring at the same time as his brother is in his own home with Adriana, leaves one wondering what fur ther complications could possibly arise. By this point in the play few are sure just who is whom, and in trying to separate the per sonages, the viewer is liable to miss the point of the play. The whole thing is just one great big parody on identity and persona lity, allowing human dignity to dissolve in laughter. Differences are resolved by blows to the head and drawn daggers, which are never used. No one is hurt, everything is explained, and everybody lives happily ever af ter. There are always a number of minor characters, being minor in the number of lines delivered only, which carry the comic level throughout almost to the point of over-saturation. Of these characters, there is the Courte san, portrayed by Cyn Smith, cast in the part of the prostitute without the heart of gold but having a more natural desire of acquiring some more of that same gold. She also is confused with the exchange of the two Anti- Bulletin Board MONDAY Mechanical Engineering Wives Club will meet at 7:30 p.m. in the South Solarium of the YMCA Building.

Richard Jenkins breaks up the scene by commanding the stage as the learned doctor who diagno ses madness with a medical and scholarly approach which is not exactly in the AMA tradition. Barbara Peknik, who admir ably portrays the wronged wife, Adriana, commands the only real lead in the play; her sister Luc- iana (Frances Flynn) finally is paired with the other Antipholus, which helps to sort out the char acters somewhat. Costuming for the production is period, with those innovations so necessary for drama, such as combining the necesary balances for each scene and coordinating the dress of the twins, especially, demands nothing less than ad miration from the viewer. David Woodcock’s imaginative set de sign, completes the technical ba lance with the lighting and make up so necessary to the success of the production.
