CADET SLOUCH by Jim Earle -Janie Wallace- Aggie Is In Players’ ‘Everyman’ Tune With Times Red light . Green light . Blue light . . . Dancing to Wipeout, the . . “Everyman!” . . “Everyman!” “Everyman!” the strains of Aggie Players “If you want to see some action put one of these slips on a graduating senior’s door that says to report to the regis trar immediately!” AWARD** As we complete seven days in May, the time arrives again for that much-awaited tradition, the announcement of the Battalion Award. As we all know, this coveted trophy is given monthly to “some person in the public eye” who has displayed “those qualities . . . which distinguish inspired pub lic-relations work from mere shoddy drumbeating.” The April award goes to Texas Land Commissioner Jerry Sadler. April was made a bit brighter for us by periodic Associated Press reports of Sadler’s campaign against side burns and miniskirts among Land Office employees. After several ominous remarks about the appearance of some of the employees, Sadler issued a no-nonsense ultimatum: “Skirts must touch the top of the knee,” the AP noted, “and sideburns must go no lower than the ‘middle lobe of the ear’ by May 15,” The icing on the cake, however, was provided early this week, in an AP story on the resignation of Land Office lawyer Bob Donaho (who has “normal” sideburns, according to the report) because of what he termed “the harassment of my secretary.” She reportedly resigned after Sadler’s chief clerk stopped her in a hallway and told her her dress was too short. Donaho told the AP she “returned to her desk crying.” “Donaho said u he knew of two cases of men quitting over the sideburn issue,” the AP went on. In a world threatened by conformity, Sadler is a real breath of fresh air. Who is in a more appropriate position than a high-ranking state official to uphold the cherished tradition that Texans are rugged individualists (as long as their individualism stays within strict bounds, and isn’t too rugged)? And the public-relations benefits to this state will easily outweigh the loss of trained workers who refuse to see the wisdom of Sadler’s edict; just imagine the reaction when the rest of the nation (rapidly being overrun by degenerate wearers of sideburns and short skirts) hears about it. Why, not even John Wayne could do more for the ol’ image of the Great State of Texas. change the tone of a medieval allegory into a play in tune with the times. The winding passageway to the stage, which is unusual, fea tures a black-light on the psy chedelic posters and paintings. “Everyman seeks salvation when he approaches death,” is the message the audience re ceives before reaching their chairs. Everyman, who represents Mankind, is played by Carl Mas- terson, and his performance is so convincing that the other actors do not drown in the sea of fantasy. DEATH PLAYED by George Scott) tells Everyman that he will die and must make the long pilgrimage to account for him self before God. “Everyman turns to his fam ily, Fellowship (played by Den nis Turner), and his Wealth (Kay Slowey) to accompany him on his journey. All forsake him. Then he calls to his Good Deeds (played by Irene Fazzino), buried under his sins, to com fort him during the trip. She and Knowledge (Michele Navels) give him enough encouragement to make the trip to his grave before the gates of Heaven. He confesses and asks for mercy from God. When he re ceives his salvation, the material ideals desert him. THE MORAL of this allegory: Beauty (Helen Phillans), Strength (John Cohagen), Dis cretion (Robert Pitts) and Five Wits (John Olivares) plus fam ily, friends and wealth, will not affect the opening of the pearly gates. The production had two prob lems. One was the sparse attend ance, despite the heavy advertis ing. Also, some members of the cast rushed through their lines as if to get them off their chest. But Director Robert Wenck has developed his idea into a work able production with all the ap propriate facial expressions and gestures. The actors move with a free and natural movement, sometimes only a few inches away from a spectator’s face. OTHER PERFORMANCES ARE: God, played by George (McCoy at the first and by a green light during the remainder, who some times falters.

Fellowship, by Turner; Cou sin, by Bill Hobgood; and Kin dred, by John Friedrick, who all add a little humor to the play by their exaggerated movements. Good Deeds, by Miss Fazzino, who is very good except she and Everyman could practice the carrying scene for more finesse. The play is in verse with phrases like, “thee, thou, and nay” but these are offset by modern slang such as “I’ll tell you like it is.” If you’re interested, show up at Guion Hall before 8 p.m. through Saturday this week and Tuesday through Friday next week. (Continued From Page 1) POWELL added that the build ing was not damaged and nothing was taken from it. Foye denies that the door was locked and claimed that he and the other two students “were just looking around.” The three students were ad vised of their rights and charged with burglary early Sunday be fore College Station Justice of the Peace A. P. Boyett Jr., who set bond at $500 each. They were released from the Brazos County Jail the same day after posting the bond. Hannigan met with the trio Monday, heard their side of the story and advised them of their rights of appeal. fcSM COMMITTEE (Cantinued From Page 1) Rudder emphasized Tuesday night. “The first time the mat ter came to me I sent it to the Appeals Committee. They wrote down what they thought applied to the situation and sent it right back to the students. “Students went through stu dent government channels twice. Then Wilks brought the matter back to the executive committee,” Rudder continued. “If that’s in tervention, then it’s a different concept than I had thought it to be.” RUDDER NOTED that what really disturbed him was the fact that “our dirty linen was being aired in public.” In private, he said, he is always willing to go Bulletin Board WEDNESDAY Aggie Christian Fellowship will meet at 5:30 p.m. in room 3-D of the Memorial Student Center. “Cooling It by Faith” will be dis cussed by Dr. Ed Blum.

He added that he thought it deplorable that people “who know nothing, and I mean noth ing” about the situation should pass judgment. He said that the fact that an Aggie brought the case up did not make it any better. Noting further that he doesn’t “care a nickel’s worth” about the action, Rudder said that the group was just using the situa tion as “an opportunity to kick the hell out of the Aggies.” “It’s completely unfair to say that we (the administration) in tervened,” he concluded, “because we didn’t.” At its regular convention in Corpus Christi last month, the TISA also passed a resolution supporting student representa tion on university boards of di rectors, and one supporting the lowering of the voting age in Texas to 19. Noting that he thought stu dents should have a voice, but not a veto, on matters affecting them, TISA President Jim Mc Clellan said that student protest and violence have pointed up the need for student representation in America today. “We must learn from our mis takes and recognize that our problems revolve around the lack of student representation and closed channels of communica tion.” Hot Home Made Rolls, a PENISTON CAFETERIA Tradition 7:00 a. m. to 1:15 p. m.
