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.

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.
