Art for
Aggies’ Sake
By WELTON JONES
With one final night of the Aggie Players’ “Macbeth”
left, this column would like to take some space to thank
every one concerned on behalf of everyone else for the
smashing success of Shakespeare at A&M.
Special thanks go to the following:
Sam Southwell, for his tireless supervision and Hercu
lean efforts expended since
.he assumed the job of direct- nnf;ins
or last summer and for his
personal attention to every
detail of lines and acting;
C. K. Esten, whose steady-
hand and canny judgment swept
away every obstacle posed by
such an ambitious project;
Mrs. Sam Southwell, who de
signed all and executed most of
the costumes, called by many the
outstanding feature of the pro
duction;
Ray Killion and Bob Wenck,
stage manager and light man
ager, respectively, whose, sleep
less example and tremendous
log of man-hours inspired the
remainder of the cast and crew
in the best tradition of the the
atre ;
Toby Hughes, for the oyer
3,000 lines delivered in five per
formances as Macbeth, one of
the most challenging roles that
Shakespeare or anyone else has
ever conceived:
Mabel Loesch, costumes; Nan
cy Beard, bookholder; Mary
Tripp, lights, and Paul Page, Dan
Neale and Eric West, soldiers,
all of whom were left off the
program;
and, on behalf of the people
of the community, every cast
member, crew member, commit
tee member and everyone else
who combined to bring Shake
speare to A&M.
In addition, as a member of
the cast and on behalf of the
cast, this column thanks the
community for four of the best
audiences any company could
ever have hoped for, and for re
newed faith in the cultural stan
dards of the area.
PAINTING — The Memorial
Student Center Art Group has
perpetrated another coup, this,
time outdoing themselves by
30 works of the re
nowned Texas artist, Amy Free
man Lee, to the MSC for a one-
man show.
Miss Lee’s haunting, delicate
water colors rank with the work
of sculptors Charles Umlauf and
Josef Tompa as the outstanding
exhibits of the year thus far,
in this column’s opinion.
Works that stand out are the
oriental-like “Persian Boat;” the
red and black oil, “Elan Vital;”
a realistic “Santiago” Valley”,
which seems to be a departure
by Miss Lee from her usual
style, and “Night Flight,” for
no particular reason except that
it is one of those works of art
that just seem to appeal directly
to one’s senses. '
A veteran of 240 shows in 26
states, New Zealand and France,
Miss Lee is no novice. In-addi
tion to her painting, she is well
known as a critic, lecturer and
author with three books to her
credit.
MUSIC—The Memorial Stu
dent Center Recital Series will
open their spring program with
two of the rising stars of the
jazz world, when they present
the Mitchell-Ruff Duo.
In one of the most unorthodox
instrumentations in the music
world today, the duo features
Dwike Mitchell on piano and Wil
lie Ruff doubling on French
horn and bass viol. Ruff was
educated at Yale University
while Mitchell studied at the
Philadelphia Conservatory of Mu
sic and the Juilliard School of
Music in New York.
This column had the good for
tune of attending one of their
performances previously and was
struck with the facile way they
vacillate between the classics
and jazz with equal artistry in
both.
MY CLOSEST SHAVE ^£^ idgeman
“My closest shave was during the first try at a speed
record in the fantastic Douglas Skyrocket,” says Test
Pilot Bill Bridgeman, author of The Lonely Sky. “A
special B-29 dropped me like a bomb at 30,000 feet...
I turned on my rockets and climbed to 40,000 . . .when
suddenly all power failed. Rocket power, cabin pres
sure, heat —everything went —and the window frosted
over so I couldn’t see. Finally I got the radio going on an
emergency battery . . . and a pilot in a chase
plane talked me down to a blind landing!’

SIGN OF GOOD TASTE
Bottled wnder authority of The Coca-Cola Company by
BRYAN COCA COLA BOTTLING COMPANY
American colleg students are
overwhelmingly in favor of con
tinuing- nuclear weapon testing,
according to a recent poll of a
representative cross section of
college students by the Associat
ed Collegiate Press.
“Every so often a new con
troversy arises over the subject
of radioactive fallout from tests
of nuclear weapons, and at such
times there are usually two sides
expressing views—those who be
lieve all testing should be stopped
and those who feel it should con
tinue. Do you think testing nu
clear weapons should be ended,
or do you think it should be
continued? Why?”
Of the students interviewed 88
percent favored continued test
ing and only eight percent op
posed it. Four percent were un
decided. Ninety-four percent of
the men interviewed were in fa
vor and 78 percent of the women
favored it.
Many of the interviewees ex
pressed a belief that national se
curity is dependent on contin
ued testing.
A University of Vermont soph
omore said he felt testing should
be continued because “if the oth
er countries are carrying on
tests, it is necessary that we do
the same.”
“It is part of progress, and the
United Ssates should keep up
with it,” said a Wayne State
University sophomore coed.
A large number of those who
favored continuation of the tests
gave qualifications for their be
liefs.
Typical was this comment by
a South Georgia College fresh
man :
“The testing shojild continue,
but slowly, and with careful test
ing of fallout.”
