The characterization of Eng- strand, a carpenter crippled be cause of drunkenness, is ably done by George Willman, who did a very convincing bit of acting as the comic valet in the Players ’last production* “The Play’s The Thing.” George jDillavou, the director, the cast, and technical staff have attempted to dp their best in mak ing this another play that will be long remembered by all who are fortunate enough to see it. Those who saw 4 The Play’s The Thing” will always think* of it as something entirely different from all preceding productions. The cast working on an extremely limited schedule of rehearsals, is of the opinion that this play should be nearly as startling as the last one, even though it is definitely differ ent from their latest comedy suc cess.

Baylor Girls Take Licking By Housewife Waco, Tex., May 4 —UP)— ‘‘We want MeHaffey” was the rallying cry of Baylor University Law students to day. “MeHaffey” is Mrs. A. J. Me Haffey, Waco housewife, mother of two children (Aged 9 and 11), and Baylor law student. The Waco News Tribune said news leaked out that Mrs. MeHaf fey polled the most vojtes in the Annual May Queen election. She hadn’t sought the honor. Students just wrote in her name. This was a hard blow to the 19 teen-age glamour girls from Texas, Arkansas, and Louisiana who thought they had the field to them selves. i But there was every indication Mrs. MeHaffey would not be nam ed queen. Dean Abner McCal of the Law School said her candi dacy had been filed 48 hours late, and was not accompanied by the required filing fee. “If she wasn’t entered,” said the dean learnedly, “How could she win?” That’s where the law students rebelled. They argue that Demo cracy should be served, despite technicalities. The least they’ll settle for is a separate coronation for their fellow law student, if the crown is officially'given to one of the glamour belles. Mrs. MeHaffey herself is a bit bewildered. She is widely known ns the wife of a Waco dcalet in used cars and alligator steaks, whose trade name is "Poor Old MeHaffey.” She’s not saying exactly how old she is. But she was a campus beauty in her undergraduate days at Baylor—back in the ’20’s. She also studied at the Sorbopne in Paris. MeHaffey received his Bay- lojv law degree in 1940. Mrs. Me Haffey decided she wanted one, too. Only Yell Leader Race Candidates Run Unopp* One of A&M’s smallest, yet in one case hottest, elections will end tonight at 10 o’clock with the election by the non-corps students of their Yell Leader, Representa tive to the Athletic Council, Editor of the Aggieland 1950, and Editor of The Bat- 1 I I I I r? w f v > Voluntary Rent Incre Under New Control Rfc *- a Number 17ft i New voluntary rent increase leases are the new rent law is concerned, and all lea back under rent control, Area Rent Director Gji ningfield said this week. j. ill The 1949 legislation makes no provisiorfllj Ing the maximum rent throughf " 1 " ff* 4, mutual agreement of landlord and tennant, Benningfield pointed out. Both 1947 and 1948 rent laws per mitted the so-called voluntary 16% leases, but no leases of this type haVe been authorized since Decem ber 31, 1948. All units covered by the 1947 and 1948 leases were brought back under rent control, as of April 1. This change will not affect the rental rate of a majority of the leased units, for the lease rent will continue as the maximum rent. Other units, which were de controlled because the 1947 lease was terminated prior to April 1, 1948, are recontrolled, and the for mer lease rent becomes the new maximum rent. In all cases where the lease is terminated before the expiration date given in the lease, the land lord must file a report pn the ter mination within 15 days. Land lords are advised to make an im mediate report on leases which ter minated some time ago, Benning- field said. the wnt law apply to the rectjntrolled All provisions oi to the rectntrolled leased units, Benningfield said. If the landlord feels he is entitled to a further rent increase under any of the recognized grounds, he may ap ply for an adjustment to become effective after the present lease expires or is terminated. The ten ant also may apply for a reduc tion if he has proper grounds, such as a reduction in services. Tenants and landlords may ob tain further information as to their rights and obligations under the new rent law by calling 2-1207 or visiting the Area Rent Office at 306 Varisco Building, Bryan, Ben ningfield said. & Annex Biologists To Meet Tonight 'I ; i i a Two Texas j speak on the week, D.
