A Foreboding Omen?
‘Hate America Day 9
Proclaimed By N. Vietnam
DA NANG, South Viet Nam
<A?) — Communist North Viet
Nam is observing Friday its an
nual “Hate America Day.” U. S.
and Saigon authorities were al
ert to a possibility the holiday
might bring trouble south of the
17th Parallel.

Sips Petition;
Connally Absent
AUSTIN (A*) _ Several Uni
versity of Texas pupils tried
Thursday but failed to deliver to
Gov. Connally a petition signed
by 900 pupils and teachers pro
testing authority of a new col
lege coordinating board.
Connally was not in his office.
Aides told the pupils he will not
be back until Tuesday. Among
the students was Greg Lipscomb
of Houston, student body presi
dent.
The petition criticized a sec
tion of the law creating the co
ordinating board, which will
have control over the 22 state
colleges beginning Sept. 1 The
section calls for the board to
review annually all, 20,000 cours
es taught at the colleges.
planes have staged a series of
raids on North Vietnamese mili
tary targets in the interval since
the 1964 observance.
While the day has not been
used in the past for any particu
lar anti-American terrorism by
the Viet Cong, officials were tak
ing no chances. One precaution
was,; a 24-hour curfew confining
Americans at Da Nang to their
barracks or the heavily guarded
base.
Prompted by Viet Cong agents,
villagers from the hamlet of
Man Quan attempted Thursday
to use the bodies of 16 children
killed by Vietnamese fighter-
bombers to stir up an anti-Amer
ican demonstration at Da Nang.
Government troops intervened
when the group arrived by sam
pans with the blanketed dead
from Man Quan, five miles south
of this city. They dispersed a
gathering crowd on the water
front. Government representa
tives launched efforts to smooth
over the situation.
U. S. officials said Americans
had nothing to do with the air
strike at the village, which one
source described as “sympathe
tic to but not dominated by the
Viet Cong.” Ground fire at a
Vietnamese pilot and display of
the Viet Cong flag above the
village school were reported to
have prompted the raid.

EDITOR’S NOTE: This is the first of two editorials
voicing different opinions of Senator Andy Rogers’ limited
coeducation bill. Because The Battalion staff is so evenly
split on this issue, we feel both sides should be presented.
A rebuttal will be published Wednesday.
Senator Andy Rogers of Childress, whose limited co
education bill passed the senate Military and Veterans Af
fairs Committee Wednesday night, has become the proverbial
“enigma wrapped in a mystery.”
“I am fully aware that this is a public tax supported
institution and its primary purpose is to serve the taxpayers
in whatever way is best. This bill, as far as I am concerned,
is not an old school fight for a bunch of traditions or a Gig-
’Em-Aggies approach,” Rogers told the committee.
Can a senator of the obvious qualifications of Mr. Rogers
be so naive"
What he is suggesting to do is to take the policy-making
responsibility of Texas A&M University out of the hands
of its duly appointed board of directors and place it under the
auspices of partisan politics of the state legislature. His
argument appears sound at first glance:
Since Texas A&M is a state supported school, then the
representatives of the people should decide any aspect of its
policy they might wish to change, through the state legisla
ture. Albeit, the board of directors of A&M feel it is in the
best interests of the school to allow full coeducation and we
don’t. Therefore we will reverse their decision and impose
the will of the people.
To call this a dangerous precedent would be facetious—
it is unforgivable mettling in the affairs of the consituted
authority at A&M. If Senator Rogers really wants to see
changes at A&M, he should change his approach.
Instead of overseeing the activities of the board, the
legislature should face squarely up to the situation. Either
allow the governing authorities at A&M—and all other state
universities—to determine local policy, or replace the board
with members more favorable to the opinions of the legisla
ture. The people of Texas lose on both counts. If the first
choice is taken and the legislature continues to dictate, a
hostile board will be the result. On the other hand, if these
ment are replaced whenever they don’t conform to the whims
of Austin, the growth of the school will be stymied.
Andy Rigers is opening Pandora’s Box with this bill,
and A&M alone will not be the victim.

Special Writer
Last night the Aggie Players
opened the third major drama
tic presentation of the season
with William Shakespeare’s
The Comedy of Errors.
The play, one of Bard’s earli
est, is high comedy to the ex
tent of superb farce. There is
no problem of character develop
ment and interpretive complica
tions which arise in some of
Shakespeare’s later comedies.
The plot revolves around a sit
uation of mistaken identity in
volving two sets of twins with the
espective twins having the same
names. The confusion arises
from the visit of Antipholus of
Syracuse and his bondsman, Dro-
mio, to Ephesus. Unknown to
any but the audience, his long
lost twin and his bondsman’s
twin reside in Ephesns and his
brother, Antipholus of Ephesus,
is at the time of his visit, having
a falling out with his wife.
Predictably, the wrong twin
is collared by Adriana, the wife
of the Ephesian Antipholus. This
leads to all sorts of complications
when the Syracusean Antipholus
and Dromio are in Adriana’s
house with the Ephesian Anti
pholus and Dromio locked out.

Adding in the bawdy element
of Antipholus of Ephesus’ dali-
ance with a Courtesan, occuring
at the same time as his brother
is in his own home with Adriana,
leaves one wondering what fur
ther complications could possibly
arise. By this point in the play
few are sure just who is whom,
and in trying to separate the per
sonages, the viewer is liable to
miss the point of the play. The
whole thing is just one great big
parody on identity and persona
lity, allowing human dignity to
dissolve in laughter. Differences
are resolved by blows to the
head and drawn daggers, which
are never used. No one is hurt,
everything is explained, and
everybody lives happily ever af
ter.
There are always a number
of minor characters, being minor
in the number of lines delivered
only, which carry the comic level
throughout almost to the point
of over-saturation. Of these
characters, there is the Courte
san, portrayed by Cyn Smith,
cast in the part of the prostitute
without the heart of gold but
having a more natural desire of
acquiring some more of that same
gold. She also is confused with
the exchange of the two Anti-

pholuses and does manage to
aggravate the pique of Andriana.
Richard Jenkins breaks up the
scene by commanding the stage
as the learned doctor who diagno
ses madness with a medical and
scholarly approach which is not
exactly in the AMA tradition.
Barbara Peknik, who admir
ably portrays the wronged wife,
Adriana, commands the only real
lead in the play; her sister Luc-
iana (Frances Flynn) finally is
paired with the other Antipholus,
which helps to sort out the char
acters somewhat.
Costuming for the production
is period, with those innovations
so necessary for drama, such as
combining the necesary balances
for each scene and coordinating
the dress of the twins, especially,
demands nothing less than ad
miration from the viewer. David
Woodcock’s imaginative set de
sign, completes the technical ba
lance with the lighting and make
up so necessary to the success of
the production.
