You invest some time and effort. And once in a while, you come up with a great relationship. Many engineers find a truly rewarding relationship begins in an interview with the Carrier Air Conditioning Company representative. He's looking for a particular kind of engineer. One who will bring to work a mature brand of enthusiasm for taking things apart to see what makes them tick. We'll help you turn that talent into the ability to design, make, and market air conditioning units of every conceivable nature. Equipment that cools everything from a bedroom to an Astrodome. We're the largest manufacturer of air conditioning products in the world. And we're looking for the new men who will keep us at the head of the pack. We need Product Development Engineers. Production Engineers. Sales Engineers. Service Engineers. You might be one of them. Talk to our representative. He'll be on campus . . .

It was during his exposure to enemy fire that he was killed. The White House said that be cause the compound was “about 10 miles to the rear of the ex pected line of combat” Bush’s death could not be linked with “ground combat operations” even though he had fired on the invad ing commandos. According to White House in terpretation hostile action in cludes circumstances other than direct combat such as ambushes, long-range artillery fire, and mines. To the charge that the gov ernment has tried to cover-up the Laotian situation, Mrs. Carol Bush, 24-year-old widow of Capt. Bush, told the Associated Press Monday that neither her hus band’s letters, or government pressure attempted to blackout information regarding American participation in Laos. “I knew all along where Joe was and what he was doing,” she said. “He wrote and said it was all right to talk about where he was.” One of those letters quoted witnesses who said that Bush was killed and the American sergeant with him was wounded in the attack. Mrs. Bush said that these two men were the only American military men at the compound. BATTALION CLASSIFIED Political Announcements Subject to action of the Dem ocratic Primary May 2, 1970. For U. S.

MAIN 822-2133 For ‘Under Sycamore Tree’ Cast Ends Rehearsals The curtain had just closed on the last act. Stage lights were switched off, one by one, and small, 75-watt worklights turned on to replace them. Occasionally an actor wandered over to a table in the right wing of the stage, took a drink of water, then went back to the re volving set with the others. The tape, onto which all pre recorded sound effects had been spliced, was rewound and the tape deck cut off. The stage manager made some last minute notes in his script hook. Robert Wenck, director of the show, “Under the Sycamore Tree,” pulled up a chair in front of the gathered cast and crew, lit a cigarette, and waited for the talking to stop. The large, papier-mache hill with the wood and chicken wire frame, threw shadows on ants and humans alike in the dim light. “Questions?” Wenck asked. When no one said anything, Wenck took some paper from his pocket, about six sheets less than he had had the previous night, and began reading from it. “Light crew, you were slow starting cue 46 in the third act. The stage had almost completely revolved before I noticed any change in the lighting.” He glanced up to make sure notes were being made on the light crew’s cue sheet. “Sound crew, as soon as the queen says her last line at the end of the first act, I want the music started. Not five seconds later.” One of the actresses put a jacket over the light blouse she was wearing. The cool, night air made Guion Hall’s drafty stage uncomfortable once the stage lights were turned off. “The people on the revolve are going to have to put a little more into it. The turn was sluggish in a couple places. You actors, I don’t think I need say anything to. You know where you slipped. Want to say anything to them, Dennis?” The stage manager, Jim Dennis, looked up from the script book he had been taking notes of the director’s comments in, and shook his head. “I thought it went pretty smooth,’ he said. “Okay, gang, Wenck said, “I thought it looked real good. You’ve heard my only complaints. Go home and sleep or study and be ready for the hundreds of people who will be watching you tomorrow night.” The cast and crews split up, cast members going to dressing rooms to get rid of make-up and costumes, and crews going back to their equipment to make sure everything is either off or put away. Players left by the back en trance in ones, twos and threes, some talking and laughing, others wrapped in their own thoughts. Many were already thinking about tomorrow’s opening performance. The last person to leave after the final dress rehearsal was Wenck. He switched off all the house lights and, one by one, the work lights as he headed toward the rear door. Finally, he turned off the last work light, locked the door and, left. Guion Hall was dark. “Under the Sycamore Tree” is the Aggie Players’ first produc tion this spring. It’s a satire on humans, from the point of view of an ant, by Samuel Spewack. It starts tonight at 8 p.m. A scientist, played by Dennis Turner, invents things in an at tempt to copy humanity. He invents love. He does such a good job with his inventions that the queen, played by Sue Hachbold, falls in love wtih him. The general, played by Mitchell Hall, doesn’t like the inquisitive nature of the scientist. The only “why” he thinks should be asked is “why ask?” The chief statistician, played by David Campbell, is equally unhappy with the forward prog ress of the ant colony. His motto is “ever backward.” The experimental ants, who first learr the meaning of love, are played by Jim Collins and Lucy Egg 1 . The female worker and nurse is played by Barbara Beals. The male worker and weapons carrier is played by Paul Peterson. The brown ant, who is made a diplomat so he could spy on the colony, in true human style, is played by Alec Horn. Offstage voices which both en lighten and confuse the ants are the F.C.C. monitor, played by James Dennis; the announcer, played by Barbara Beals; the ham radio operator, played by Paul Peterson; Sgt. Robinson, played by Bob Robinson; and Capt. Roland, played by Robert Anderson, Lights for the show are done by Lucy Gravett and Bob Robin son. Properties are by Irene Fazzino and Jean Linger. Melanie Haldas is in charge of sound and costumes are done by Karen Buck- land and Wally Bergquist. The largest ant hill in captivity is the responsibility of the set crew, consisting of James Dennis, Paul Peterson, Robert Anderson and Scott Wilson. House manager for the show is Kathy Maxwell. Her publicity crew includes Glen Thompson, Kay Slowey, Mary Hanna, Cecilia Loff and Bob Robinson. Assistant director is Travis Miller. “Under the Sycamore Tree” is scheduled for March 11-13 and 19-21, and is part of the Con temporary Arts Committee’s Fes tival 70 program. Director of the Aggie Players is C. K. Esten. JV>\ ^entlemead. 6y CO«3?-Nl r LTD TOWNSHIRE / BRYAN.
