TER .1 M. tSE” Plays to be shown by Presbyterians Two one-act social comedies, "Another Night” and “A New Day,” by Eugene McKinney, will be presented by the Alpha- Omega Players, Repertory Thea tre of America, at the First Presbyterian Church Saturday at 7:30 p.m. "Another Night” delves into the lives of a middle aged couple afraid of becoming involved with the outside world. “A New Day” deals with an old and lonely man \rho finds a new zest for life. The plays expand and examine portions of life. The comic as pects not only point up the un derlying tragedy which results when isolationism becomes a way of life, as in the first production, but also give a feeling of hope when the courage necessary to continue is found, as discovered in the second. The one-acts were originally seen on ABC Television’s “Direc tions” series. McKinney’s.scripts have appeared on ABC, CBS, and NBC on such programs as “Om nibus” and “Wide Wide World.” He is currently Professor of Playwriting at the Dallas Thea tre Center. Four young actors will portray the major roles. They are Cheryl Horne, Paul Pryor, Cliff Sam- uelson, and Melanie Farrell Wal ters. The plays will be directed by Drexel H. Riley, executive producer for the Alpha-Omega Players. % CHERYL HORNE WILL BE THE LEAD female vo calist in the two presenta tions by the Alpha-Omega Players at the First Presby terian Church Saturday. Newsweek editor to address meeting The 18th Texas Junior College Press Association Conference at A&M Oct. 12 and 13 will feature “Newsweek” official Charles W. Roberts. Roberts, chief White House correspondent during 15 of his 19 years with “Newsweek,” will be the keynote speaker of the two-day conference. It is expected to attract 200 junior college journalists and fac ulty members fi-om 30 institu tions, according to Dr. David R. Bowers, TJCPA director. Student newspaper, yearbook and magazine staffs will meet in workshop sessions with editors and writers of several state news papers and faculty personnel of A&M, Sam Houston State, TCU, University of Texas and Baylor. Junior college faculty members will have special separate sessions for discussion of recruiting and model course outlines. Also highlighting the confer ence will be an awards luncheon, at which year book and magazine winners will be announced and preciously - disclosed newspaper winners will receive awards. TJCPA president Charles Kim ble, student at Howard County Junior College in Big Spring, will preside over business sessions. Roberts, now a contributing edi tor of “Newsweek,” served one of the longest uninterrupted spans on U. S. journalism’s most pre stigious beat. As White House correspondent he covered and knew intimately Presidents Eisen hower, Kennedy and Johnson. An eyewitness of the Kennedy assissination in Dallas, he was one of three newsmen at the swearing-in of President Johnson aboard Air Force One and one of just two reporters who flew back to Washington with the new pres ident, his wife and Mrs. Jacque line Kennedy abord the plane bearing the body of the slain president. Mars life possible, biologists claim WASHINGTON <A>) _ Two space-agency biologists have con cluded from evidence gathered by Mars spacecraft that, in spite of an apparently harsh environ ment, life of some sort may exist there. Some earthly organisms can survive under conditions almost as severe as those on Mars, the scientists say in the current is sue of The Quarterly Review of Biology. Dr. Cyril Ponnamperuma and Dr. Harold P. Klein, of the Na tional Aeronautics and Space Ad ministration’s Ames Research Laboratory, Moffett Field, Calif., base their report on data from the 20 per cent of the Martian surface that has been photo graphed, and on which tempera ture, radiation level, atmospheric pressure and water content have been measured. Most of the information was obtained by three Mariner fly-by missions, forerunners of the Vik ing 1975-76 unmanned lander 'fhich is to search for life on Mars. The writers report these indi cations of the possibility of life on Mars: —The atmosphere of the planet is extremely thin, compared with that of the earth, and the pres sure is considerably lower on Mars. But “considerable varia tion in atmospheric composition and density can be tolerated by terrestrial organisms” and micro organisms can grow or survive at pressures much lower than those on earth. —Because of the thin atmos phere, ultraviolet radiation, harmful to life, may penetrate to the planet’s surface more easily than on earth—but any Martian life may receive some protection in regions that are often covered by a “blue haze which might ef fectively absorb ultraviolet radi ation for varying periods of time.” Furthermore, if Mars or ganisms exist they may have evolved some means of resistance to ultraviolet rays. —Although the atmosphere of Mars lacks oxygen and nitrogen “Most organisms do not require atmospheric nitrogen and even oxygen is not nuecessary for some.” Kent State class begins peacefully KENT, Ohio (A?)—Students be gan fall quarter classes quietly at Kent State University under the slogan “Power to the Peace ful,’’-theme of a student govern ment sponsored “Think Week.” About 21,000 students returned to the campus where four stu dents were fatally shot during campus disorders last spring. The student government began a week-long program emphasiz ing the need for nonviolent change. A torchlight parade and me morial service was scheduled at 8 p.m. in memory of the stu dents who were killed during the May 4 confrontation with Ohio National Guardsmen. Six bomb threats had been made in recent days, causing buildings to be evacuated four times. Nothing was found. The campus police force has been increased from 36 to 48 full-time officers. The State Highway Patrol has promised quick aid in case of trouble. Students are now required to carry identification cards which show their pictures.
