Players To Give
"Oedipus Rex’
March
**11 *1
The Aggie Players will pre
sent Sophocles “Oedipus Rex,”
in the MSC ballroom, March
22, 23 and 24..
The production will be “in
the round,” with the audience seat
ed in a semi-circle around a cen
tral stage. This is the original
Greek style.
Members of the cast are Victor
Wiening as Oedipus, Mary Mackin
as Pocastar, Richard Black as
Creon, Eugene Stubblefield as
Tiresias, Carthell Perdue as the
Priest and Ted Castle as the
Herdsman.
Mrs. Eleanor Burehard is in
charge of the costumes, which will
be in the true Greek style. A 12-
man chorus will be used; there are
still a few vacancies in the chorus.
C. K. Esten, Aggie Players di
rector, said preliminary rehearsals
are now being held, but intense
work on the production will not
start until Feb. 1.
Rain Slows Work
On Walks, Curbs
Rain has been the main factor
in holding up completion of new
sidewalks and curbs around the
Academic building, said W. H.
Badgett, manager of physical
Plants.
All of the grading work has
been completed as well as the most
of the form building. Construction
workers were all set to pour the
concrete for the sidewalks when
rain put a halt to the job. “All we
can do is hope for sunshine”, Bad
gett said.
When Academic building work is
ended the crew will move across
the street where they will begin
work on another walk, This walk
will run from the driveway of the
new Administration building down
to Guion hall.
A diagonal will branch off and
cut acrb^'i'Tlr^'si^e of Bl’zzell' hall
extending to the Memorial Student
Center. New walks are also sched
uled for the area around Law and
Puryear halls.
to the numerous committees which are try
ing to find out how to improve A&M’s oper
ation.
With variations it usually sounds some
thing like this: “It doesn’t make any dif
ference to me what happens down here. I’ll
be out in another five months.”
Such a statement should concern anyone
interested in the advancement of A&M. This
is especially true when one considers that
many of these unconcerned individuals rank
high in scholastic work and show definite
leadership ability.
The matter becomes even more tragic
when it is remembered that their value as
leaders was largely suppressed for three
years by the Aggie philosophy that the sen
ior’s word is law. Now when these men have
finally reached senior level they don’t wish
to take part in campus activities.
few dissatisfied individuals. On the contrary,
it is spread throughout the senior class.
This unwillingness to take part in help
ing the college seems to show a definite mis
trust „of present A&M policy and doubt that
matters will improve. However these stu
dents might change their attitude if given
something definite to work for. Of course
they have been told that everyone should
work for “a better A&M.” But such a vague
generality means nothing.
No one can hope to accomplish a goal
whose basis is firmly implanted in the, clouds.
It must be brought to earth and cemented in
a foundation of clear definition.
Until this happens the uninterested sen
iors will always doubt and mistrust the col
lege and A&M will continue to lose some
valuable student leadership.

THE UNTROUBLED MIND
DALLAS—b'P)—“We’ve got him
worried/’ a detective said to his
partner outside a room where their
17-year-old prisoner sat.
“If we keep with him he’s going
to clear up a lot of stolen automo
bile cases,” the partner agreed.
The officers re-entered the room
with added vigor to grill their pris
oner. They found him sound
asleep.
TEXAS TAKES SNUFF
DALLAS—OP)—R. H. Stanley of
Dallas is a fellow who keeps his
business right.up to snuff. That’s
what it is—snuff. It’s big business
in Texas. Texans buy “'a little bet
ter than three million pounds a
year,” and not all of the buyers
are country folks.
“A good bit is sold right here in
Dallas,” Stanley said, “'mostly to
working people, but not all of it.”
For example his company—he’s
district sales manager—ran an es
say contest on “Why I Like Snuff/
and got three entries from Dallas’
swankiest neighborhood. Stanley
checked them personally.

Mrs. Arhopulos Has
Been Friend to Aggies
Mrs. Grace Arhopulos, who with
her husband runs the Twelth Man
Inn at North Gate, has been a
friend to Aggies for more than 20
years.
Mrs. Arhopulos has been help
ing students from foreign countries
to make their adjustment to the
ways of this country and school.
Because she speeks five languages
—English, Spanish, Portugese,
Greek and Italian—she has been
of great help to these students
when they want to eat.
Many of them have come to her
with requests for foods which they
could not tordinarily get here at
Aggieland.
Mrs. Arhopulos says that many
of the new languages are related
to one that she can speak so that
she can get these students what
they want.
She has not confined her friend
ship to the foreign students either.
For the last few years she has been
giving Christmas dinner to all the
students who remain on the campus
during the holidays. Also, she gave
some of the w r ood for this year’s
bonfire.
The Arhopuloses live at 6005
College avenue in Bryan. They
have a son Tommy who attended
A&M and a daughter Nell, a
graduate of Texas University, who
is now touring Europe.
