LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS
Put a Leash on Reveille
The past two years have been filled with bickering and
quarreling in trying to determine the guardian for Reveille
and just how she fits in campus activities.
She definitely fits in but not in the manner she displayed
Saturday night.
Naturally she cannot be blamed since her action on the
football field was entirely involuntary. But she at least
could be kept under control.
Even more disappointing was the reception her action
received from the students and other spectators. Going
further, students were even betting as to the exact yard line.
One of the chief laments of Aggies is that people from
other schools give us the reputation of being uncouth and
possessing no dignity. Most of the accusations are quite
untrue and campus visitors, for the most part, are able to
take back examples to disprove these charges.
But Saturday night, before a regional television audience,
we went a long - way toward justifying this false reputation.
Also, it doesn’t show much respect toward the Band if
the student body cheers a spectacle which detracts and cheap
ens their performance. We have the best marching band
in the nation. Is this the way we support it?
If Reveille is to maintain the dignity deserving of her
position,, she should be kept under close control. Since she,
at present, is the responsibility of “A” Quartermasters, it
is up to them to see that she is handled in such a way she
is an asset and not a liability.
Let her stay on a leash at half-time.
Let’s Help The Senate
Apparently it is going to take the combined effort of
the student body to solve the Kyle Field seating problem.
Last week in a commendable effort to assure better
seating arrangements for students, the Senate seating com
mittee got permission from the Athletic Council to use some
ushers from the Council at ramp entrances to try and stop
the rapid flow of non-students into the student section.
Seemingly this effort failed since non-students were seen
in abundance in the student section.
This problem isn’t helped any by students who drop their
senior seating cards over the side of the stadium to people
below so they can get in the section.
More than likely the seating committee will appreciate
any and all suggestions as to the best way to remedy these
situations.
The stands are crowded enough when filled with those
deserving to be there.
It is our job to help the Senate by expressing our opin
ions to student Senators so they can take the ideas to the
seating committee.

The Greafest Novel Ever
Wrillen ... Now on /he
Screen/
Editor,
The Battalion:
With regard to the article you
printed Thursday, Nov. 1 “Sully
Gets A Bath,” there needs to be a
correction made. Sully got that
bath by the .“A” Engineers but not
,by freshmen as you printed. Those
men you pictured* and named are,
everyone, sophomores of “A” Engi- I ^ ov oq
neers.
We notice by another front page
article that you recognize the day
of this action as “Fish Day.” We
will, forget being offended by your
mistake if you will publish its cor
rection on, the front page of The
Battalion and in a manner simi
larly as bold as you published the
article in which the mistake oc
curred.
We asume, of course, that what
appears to be a simple mistake is
not a calculated offense.

A Engineers
John G. Jeffrey ’59
(Ed. Note: You are right but on
the first count only. The men were
sophomores and it was our mis
take but nothing was said about
“Fish Day.’’ The cutline of the
picture you referred to said the
two freshmen were celebrating
Halloween by hazing the two soph
omores pictured.)

By JIM NEIGHBORS
Undoubtedly one of the most
difficult plays ever staged by the
Aggie Players was presented last
night as they successfully launch
ed their 1956 season with “The
Trial.”
Franz Kafka’s play was viewed
by Director Vic Wiening as a psy
chological study of a neurotic man
and with that premise in mind, he
has developed the play into an
evening of spine-tringling enter
tainment. The play was beauti
fully staged and the abstract set
tings emphasized the psychologi
cal aspect of the drama.
Revolving around the fruitless
attempts of Joseph K, superbly
portrayed by John Gladwell, to
clear himself of his guilt, the play
shows how he becomes dissatis
fied with his fruitless existence
and reveals the guilt complex that
he has concerning his life.
Joseph K resorts to fantastic
dreams, which portray his true
feelings and obsessions. The
dreams show wierd characters pic
tured by Joseph K and the triang
ular stage and the free form lev
els emphasize the dream aspect.
Finally, after searching for a
solution to his problem, he re-
ilizes that he is helpless in the
face of his own mental resistance
to any change and dies a symbolic
death.
Last night’s presentation of
“The Trial” in the Ball Room of
the Memorial Student Center, was
the second time that the play has
ever been given by a college dra
matics group. Two years ago, stu
dents at LSU staged the play from
a religious viewpoint.
Excellent portrayals of Kafka’s
characters included those given by
Don Reynolds’, Charles Ware and
Rock Arnold. Although all other 1
parts were eclipsed by Gladwell’s
characterization of Joseph K, each
member of the cast is to be con
gratulated for his or her part.
Two more performances of the
play will be given. Curtain time
tonight and tomorrow night is set
for 8.
