Campus Chest Drive
Start Has Stumbled
One of the finest opportunities Aggies have to aid their
fellow students and to contribute to every worthwhile cause
looks as if it is doomed to failure. The 1963 Campus Chest
drive is already past the half-way mark, and only $250 of the
goal of $5000 has been reached.
The reason? It is obvious. It is the same thing that
destroys traditions, institutions and pride. The reason is
apathy.
The slogan for this year’s Campus Chest is “A Dollar
From An Aggie For An Aggie.” Judging from the collections
received, there are approximately 250 Aggies who give a
damn about their fellow students.
This money is used to keep needy students in school who,
without help from their fellow students, would have to drop
out. This means all students are eligible for aid if needed,
and we believe it is the moral obligation of all students to
contribute.
To date Alan Peterson, chairman of the drive, has had
no response at all from the civilians, and except for Squadron
1 and several of the staffs, no returns from the Corps.
“True to each other as Aggies can be?” It looks doubt

The curtain lifted on the eigh
teenth season of the Aggie
Players Monday night with their
presentation of the witty comedy
“The Constant Wife” by Somer
set Maugham.
With over 100 persons in at
tendance, the opening night pre
sented the viewer with drama
tic and sophisticated treatment
of the dual standards of morality
of the house in Harley St.
Constance Middleton, married
15 years to the successful sur
geon John Middleton, tries to
ignore the illicit relationship be
tween her husband and one of
her friends Marie—Louise Dur
ham.
Convinced that upper class
marriages are nothing but a
state of mutual convenience,
Constance defends her husbands
actions in a plausible and cold
ly effective way.
When the fiery Durham arrives
at the Middleton residence with
a cigarette case which he claims
was left under his wife’s pillow,
he accusses Middleton of being
Mairie-Louise’s lover.
Ever the “constant wife,” Con
stance quickly convinces Dur
ham that it was her cigarette
case that she left on the bed
while gabbing with Marie-Louise.
Durham, doubts arrising in his
mind, allows himself to be hum
bled into begging Marie-Louise’s
forgiveness and exits from the
scene none the wiser.
After he leaves, Constance re
veals to her friends and mother
that she knew about John Mid
dleton’s escapade all along and
that she was only performing the
duty of a good and faithful wife,

Well cast and directed by C. K.
Esten, of the department of
English, a sardonic look into a
situation that is only too true,
today.
Rhea Smith, in the leading role
of Constance, turned in a good
performance in her first role.
Not only did she lend the play
an air of authenticity with her
sensitive and sincere acting, but
she gave mastered very effec
tively, the English accent, as
did the whole supporting cast.
The sets were designed by
Harry Gooding and Liz Brad
shaw. Assistant director is Vic
Wiening, assistant professor of
English who also serves as voice
and diction coach.
The stage manager is Corky
Couvillon. Charles Ragsdale has
charge of costumes and Pat Hue-
bner, set and props.
Set crews include Cynthia
Smith, Alan Love, Charles Kuy
kendall, Jack Brooks and ferry
Mayfield. Jim Singer is house
manager.
All the persons involved in
creating this production are to
be congratulated for their hal'd
work and desire to provide this
cultural desert with a refreshing
theatrical shower.

ROl'C Honor Cadet Trophy R
WASHINGTON, D. C. — A
perpetual trophy designed to
honor annually the outstanding
graduate of the U. S. Army Re
serve Officer’s Training Corps
from 175,000 student officers in
247 colleges and universities has
been announced by the Depart
ment of the Army.
Presentation of the trophy to
the Army was made by Hughes
Aircraft Company officials in the
office of Secretary of the Army
Cyrus R. Vance in the Pentagon.
C. Harper Brubaker, vice presi
dent, Hughes-Fullerton, Calif.,
made the presentation for the
company.
“We are happy to accept this
trophy on behalf of the ROTC
program which is so vital to
maintaining the quality and
strength of the Army’s Officers
Corps,” Vance said.
In presenting the trophy to
the Army, Brubaker said, “It is
our hope this award will serve
to bring greater public recogni
tion to the important role played
in the American way of life by
ROTC graduates.”
The trophy stands more than
30 inches tall and weighs more
than 100 pounds. It features an
interpretation of the eagle from
the Great Seal of the United
States. The eagle clutches the
arrows and oak leaves of tradi
tion, while standing astride a
book and scroll symbolizing high
er learning.
Approximately 85 per cent of
the second lieutenants on active
duty in the Army today are from
the ROTC program, and of the
general officers on active duty in
the Army, 91 are from the
ROTC, according to Secretary
Vance.
The trophy will be awarded an
nually by the Secretary of the
Army to the outstanding ROTC
graduate selected from the candi
dates nominated for the award
by qualified national colleges and
universities. About 1,000 distin
guished ROTC military gradu
ates accept regular Army com
missions each year.
Selection of the winner each
year will be based upon the in.
dividual’s military and acade-
mic grades, potential qualities a s
an officer, leadership in acade.
mic and student-body fields, and
demonstrated qualities of disci,
pline, courtesy, personality and
character. First presentation of
the trophy will be made at the
end of the ’63-64 school year.
Saigon Starts Rebuilding
After Weekend Of Battle
SAIGON, South Viet Nam
(A*) — The military government
Monday relaxed martial law cur
few in Saigon but tightened rules
for government workers.
It said those who fail to re
port to their jobs without good
reason will be charged with de
sertion and be punished.
Torn by bloody fighting for 18
hours Friday and Saturday, Sai
gon was returning to normal.
Hours of curfew, established for
7 p.m. to 5 a.m., were eased to
the period between midnight and
5 a.m.
Former Defense Minister 1 ran
Trung Dung, a relative of Presi
dent Ngo Dinh Diem, reported
the government had given him
permission to bury Diem and the
latters brother, Nhu in a double
funeral.
Saigon was beginning to bus
tle again with normal, everyday
activity. Businesses reopened and
government offices functioned
again.
Repair crews were putting up
power and telephone lines knock
ed down Friday night by heavy
gunfire.
Most officials of Diem’s gov
ernment were back at their desks
but taking orders from a new
committee of generals.
