AGGIE PLAYERS REHEARSE FOR ‘DR. FAUSTUS ,

SECOND TO SHAKESPEARE
Aggie Players To
Marlowe’s ‘Doctor
The Aggie Players, in coopera
tion with the Shakespeare com
memoration, will present Christo
pher Marlowe’s “Dr. Faustus” Ap
ril 13-18 in Guion Hall. The play
will be presented at 8 p.m. daily.
Marlowe, who was born the
same year as Shakespeare (1964),
is ranked second only to the mas
ter himself by experts on the
Shakespearean era.
MARLOWE PRODUCED what
most critics call his greatest work
and is often mentioned as being
the equal of Shakespeare’s “Mac
beth,” “Hamlet” and “Othello.”
“Dr. Faustus” is set in Medieval
Germany and is the tragic story
of a man who is gifted with great
intellect and learning, yet strives
to seek powers forbidden to man.
Faustus calls on the power of “ne
cromancy,” a form of witchcraft,
to summon Mephistophilis, a devil
from hell.
Faustus, who seeks material
riches, sensual pleasures and ab
solute powers, explains to Mephis
tophilis that in return for all these
things, he will sacrifice his soul at
the end of 24 years.
English Profs Schedule Talks
On 2 Plays By Shakespeare
Lectures by A&M University
English professors are scheduled
Tuesday and Friday as features of
the second week of the Shake
speare Commemoration.
Dr. Stewart Morgan, professor
of English, will speak Tuesday on
“The Themes of ‘King Lear.’ ”
ON FRIDAY Dr. John Paul Ab
bott, distinguished professor of
English, will discuss “The Mingled
Fortunes of Antony and Cleo
patra.”
Both lectures are scheduled at
4 p.m. in Room 3 B-C of the Me
morial Student Center.
Performances of “Dr. Faustus”
are scheduled at 8 p.m. Monday
through Saturday in Guion Hall.
“Each age since Shakespeare
has had its own interpretations of
‘King Lear,’ and some of the pe
riods have had their own adapta
tions,” Dr. Morgan said.
“MY LECTURE will look at
some of these interpretations and
try to find one that is in harmony
with thinking in the 1960s,” he
continued.
Abbott proposes to “undertake
a reexamination of Shakespeare’s
use of the story as he found it in
Sir Thomas North’s translations
of Plutarch’s ‘Lives.’ ”
“My analysis,” Abbott said, “un
covers a hitherto neglected element
in the story which throws light on
the structure of the play and
which should be taken into account
in any critical evaluation of the
tragedy.”
DURING THIS TIME, Faustus
is constantly reminded by his con
science (Good Angel) of his wrong
doings. The good doctor is unable
to repent, and after 24 years have
passed, he is escorted by two
gorgeous devils to eternal hell and
damnation.
“Dr. Faustus,” which director
Vic Eiening calls the feature pro
duction of the year, will combine
the largest Aggie Player cast of
the season with a zany bit of cos
tuming.

Johnson Gets
15 Day Delay
On Rail Strike
WASHINGTON hP) — President
Johnson requested Thursday night
a 20-day postponement in the na
tional rail work stoppage sched
uled for 12:01 a.m. Friday but re
ceived only a 15-day delay.
The news came in a bizarre
fashion when a television techni
cian mounted a prompting device
atop a waiting camera in a White
House office.
ACROSS A SCREEN on this
piece of equipment was written the
start of Johnson’s statement in
large letters. In mounting the de
vice on the camera, the technician
turned it so newsmen waiting to
hear the President, could read it
even before Johnson entered the
Negotiators for more than 200
railroads and five operating un
ions met briefly with Johnson at
the White House a little after 6
p.m. EST to hear his appeal for a
20-day delay and a request that
they give him their decision by 8
o’clock.
Johnson made the announcement
after a four-hour meeting with
representatives of both sides. He
said “railroad service will con
tinue,” and that negotiations will
resume at 10 a.m. Friday in the
White House.
Wayne Johnston, president of the
Illinois Central Railroad, said on
behalf of management: “We pledge
ourselves to continue our efforts
to reach a fair settlement in the
national interest.”
Roy Davidson, grand chief en
gineer of the Brotherhood of Lo
comotive Engineers, AFL-CIO, said
telegrams were being sent to mem
bers of all unions to suspend the
strike against the Illinois Central,
which precipitated the national
crisis Wednesday.
