One is the presenta tion of “O Mistress Mine” by the Aggie Players. The other is to see a building that should have been torn down years ago. ' We were disappointed to learn that the Players were going to have to stage their , latest production in the barn-like atmos-/ phere of the Assembly Hall. It falls far short of their needs. The accoustics are poor, the dressing rooms hardly deserve the name, and the lighting leaves much to be desired. In fact, it is unfortunate the building ts in use at all. Guion Hall, on the other hand, would serve well as a place to produce “O Mis- Letters to .Congressmen . .

Teague, representative of this con gressional district. The letter, written by iDr. John Ashton known to Aggies because of his many civic minded endeavors and }iis poem read as a traditional part of Mus ter programs; suggested a check-rein ^of fice in the executive branch of the gov ernment to help expedite economies in governmental spending. r ) • This suggestion was based upon the premise that, recommendations of the Hoover Commission would be carried into law, and that economy in government : v ★ , To me it is utterlyiclear That Some folks complain about -r y mowing :J tress Mine.” However, I I - * itions have precluded its use by the Play ers.
