Art for
Aggies’’ Sake
By WELTON JONES
Guion Hall, long considered an anachronism suitable
only for short-courses, freshman orientation and grade “B”
movies, at last seems about to more than justify its con
tinued existence.
Dr. Sam Southwell and C. K. Esten, following! a recent
change in plans, will bring the Aggie Players’ production of
Shakespeare’s “M a c b e t h”
out of the Guion Hall base
ment rehearsal area and on
to the stage of that building,
Feb. 10, instead of the Me
morial Student Center Ballroom.
And then, the quality of recent
movies seems definitely to indi
cate an upgrading.
DRAMA—With only on month
of rehearsal time remaining be
fore the opening night, Esten and
Southwell have begun to shift
the “Macbeth” preparations into
high gear.
The change to Guion stage was
dictated mainly by technical rea
sons, but represents also an un
expected, well-oiled cooperation in
the Student Activities Department
that has been missed on occasion.
Built in 1918 and patterned af
ter a theatre in Italy, the build
ing has served the College well.
Only recently was it replaced as
the main auditorium on the cam
pus by the new G. Eollie White
Coliseum.
In addition to evening perfor
mances from Feb. 10 through the
14, at least two matinees will be
presejited for the benefit, mainly,
of area public schools.
Thd directors, the actors, stage
manager. L. R. Kiliion and light
ing director Bob Wenck all seem
pleased with the “change in
venue”.
MOTION PICTURES—Taking
only the films available in the
near future, skipping some recent
ones of note, Guion Hall seems
to be in the midst of a crest. The
quality of the fare presented
there seems to run almost predic
table cycles but perhaps this one
will last for awhile, i
James Stewart playsi the twen
ty-year-old Charles Lindberg be
fore, during and after his historic
flight over the Atlantic. A good,
entertaining melodrama, it
prompted Lindberg’s grandson to
ask, half way through the film;
“Will he make it?” It will be
showing Sunday and Monday.
Tuesday and Wednesday will
bei devoted to Jose Ferrer as he
directs and plays the lead in the
movie of A1 Morgan’s book, “The
Great Man”. Among a well select
ed cast Julie London and Ed and
Keenan Wynn stands out. The
story attempts to “debunk” an
Arthur Godfreyish television idol.
Along a similar line is “A Face
In The Crowd” (Thursday and
Friday) wherein Elia Kazan gets
the best possible performance out
of “Deacon” Andy Griffith and
Patricia Neal. This one is about
“Lonesome Rhodes” who seems to
be Godfrey with dashes of Ten
nessee Ernie and Elvis Presley
thrown in. He’s dangerous.
Then to start next week, Aud
rey Hepburn and Gary Cooper
gambol through a delicate thing
called “Love In The Afternoon”,
which, with “Great Man” was on
most people’s “Ten Best Films of
1957”.

Editor:
The Battalion
Thcrfc’p a great deal of contro-
rfcrsy ihout the coiyipulsory Corps
and about whether A&M should
go co-cd. What should be done
is this—thp people of Bryan and
College Station should back the
building of a juhibi* (college that
would be located near the A&M
campus. Girls could go there and
many would, just to be near the
Aggies. Boys who don’t want to
be in the Corps could go thex*e for
two y'ears and then transfer to
A&W for their junior and senior
years and be Civilian students.
A great number of girls would
go there and since their avail
ability would greatly case the
dating situation, there would be
a lafgc increase in the enrollment
of A AM. We could keep our sa
cred trlditions, have a place for
Civilian students, have girls and
havfc a larger and better Bryan
and College Station.
It would be easier to start a
junior college than a senior col
lege and it could be changed later
if the enrollment demanded it.
Also building a junior college
probably wouldn’t cost much
more than the added facilities
that tvould be needed for co-edu
cation and increased enrollment,
and it could be accomplished
much sooner than the proposed
gradual change to co-feducation
at A&M.
