THE ACTOR BEGAN his poetry
presentation by defining a poem
as a “fragment of experience” and
a poet as “neglected men of let
ters.” Rathbone borrowed a poem
from the pen of Edgar Allen Poe,
“Annabel Lee,” to use as his first
selection of the evening.
Rathbone will give a repeat per
formance Friday night at 8 in
Guion Hall.
Changing to a lighter vein, he
next presented one of the-poems of
A. E. Housman, which illustrates
a young man who has come to a
realization of the shortness of life.
A poem by John McGee and one
written by Robert Browning are
also included in the Rathbone’s
repertoire.

TEXAS NEWS
AUSTIN — A House member
asked Thursday for an investiga
tion into why Texas Education
Agency officials allowed the fed
eral government to supplement
agency salaries.
Rep. Terry Townsend of Brady
said the deputy commissioner,
Warren Hitt, and sevei'al assistant
commissioners had their salaries
supplemented by $14,800 in fed
eral funds.
Townsend said, during debate
Wednesday on a $3.1 billion ap
propriations bill, that the legisla
ture designated Hitt’s salary at
$12,600, and he received $15,000
with the federal supplement.
The assistant commissioners
were given $11,000 by the legisla
ture, but received $13,500, Town
send said.
★★★
AUSTIN — The House approved
Thursday and sent to the Senate
a bill for creation of a state agen
cy to convince tourists they should
come to Texas.
The agency would be governed
by a six-man advisory board, ap
pointed by the governor. An ad
ministrator, also named by the
governor, would handle its every
day woi'k.
The bill provides no appropria
tion for the agency, but if passed
by the Senate, money would prob
ably be appropriated in compro
mise appropriations measures.
An amendment to delay consid
eration until April 18 lost on a
voice vote.
CONCLUDING THE poetry por
tion of his program, Rathbone
tells a story in poetry which he
entitles “An Adventure In Love.”
The main character of the story,
a man who has discovered what
women like to hear, woos his wife
with a poem by Shelley and has
a poem suitable for each highpoint
in his life of wedded bliss.
The second half of Rathbone’s
performance is taken up with his
interpretation of several scenes
from the plays of Shakespeare.
The actor refers to Shakespeare
as “a man who has meant more to
me than any other in my life,” and
expresses his dissatisfaction with
many of the modern views of the
plays of Shakespeare.
HAMLET WAS not a young
man who was in love with his
mother as many Freudian-oriented
critics have tried to point out,
Rathbone stated. Instead, he should
be pictured as young man devoted
to both his father and mother and
shocked by his mother’s actions,
the actor continued.
Included in his dramatic presen
tation of the works of Shakespeare
was the three soliloquies made by
Hamlet, the speech made by Mac-
Beth before he murders King Dun
can and the speech made by Romeo
at the tomb of Juliet.

CSC Told Civilian
Intramurals Weak
Intramural manager Charles E.
McCandless spoke to the Civilian
Student Council Thursday night
about civilian participation in in
tramural athletics and opposed
combining corps and civilian
leagues in order to establish cam
pus-wide championships.
“Civilians are tremendously im
portant in our program, but they
are the weakest part,” said Mc
Candless, who was a civilian stu
dent at A&M before he graduated
in 1956, and then later became an
assistant professor in the Depart
ment of Health and Physical Edu
cation.
He pointed out that the intra
mural program is now divided into
three leagues — corps freshman,
corps upperclassmen and civilian.
“FORFEITS A R E our biggest
problem in intramurals. If a team
doesn’t show up for its scheduled
game, the opponent’s initiative is
destroyed,” McCandless said, urg
ing more participation from ci
vilians.
He did not favor establishing
campus-wide championships in in
tramurals, since’ “the civilian teams
would not be represented on an
equal basis with the corps.”
McCandless said that in many
cases civilian teams in various
sports become champions after
playing only four or five opponents
while corps teams usually compete
with many more opponents before
becoming champions.
McCANDLESS SAID he was in
favor of using any idea that would
help the intramural program, and
that he would support a league
combining corps upperclassmen
and civilians if civilians “meet
their responsibilities.”
The intramural director quoted
figures for civilian intramurals
which showed wide participation
by a few dormitories, especially
Mitchell and Puryear.
He said that their success in the
intramural program can be attrib
uted to dormitory athletic officers
who delegate their authority.
