Now to add another fatality to the list. Jethro Tull, as you may remem ber, gained some popularity last year with “Thick as a Brick.” Unfortunately, due to massive overplaying of cuts from the sin gle-song record by radio stations, the group’s following began to fade away. This seems to show “Thick as a Brick,” like so many of Jethro Tull’s efforts, was gear ed to the average rather than the exceptional. Which brings us to “A Passion Play.” Face it, this is a poor disc, with even the album design done badly. The front of the album depicts a ballerina sprawled on the floor of what appears to be a cathedral. She is dead, or at least severely injured here, but on the back of the album, she is up and dancing! The album designers should have reversed the photos, since a full-color performing bal lerina is far more appealing for a cover than a black-and-white dancer lying bleakly incapacitat ed. EXECUTIVE FASHIONS OF AMERICA CUSTOM - MADE CLOTHES 104 Ramada Inn (facing Texas Ave.) 846-8811 Permanent — Reliable — Experienced New Fall Samples — Just Arrived! As is customary for Jethro Tull, the record lacks originality, and I checked the credits to ver ify myself. In all of this group’s records, including this one, the words and music were written and the vocals sung by only one person, Ian Anderson. Anderson is the leader of Jethro Tull, and possesses a strange voice which tends toward oscillation at the end of a lyric. He also has the habit of playing the flute, an ob noxious wind instrument sounding totally ridiculous in rock music, especially theirs. Naturally, Jethro Tull can’t be expected to have the talent of Dylan. But this is no reason for them to stop trying. I really can’t say how well they should do in the future, because I didn’t get a chance to listen to “A Passion Play.” I had it for two months, but you know how it is, what with football games and such. I do have some news of the rock world, however, that might be of interest. Elton John’s, “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road,” ac cording to Billboard, is the na tion’s best-selling album this week; the Who is on a very prof itable concert in the United States; Ringo Starr’s song, “Pho tograph,” is number three in the Top 40; and Jethro Tull is making millions from royalties on “A Passion Play.” Oh, well. None out of four ain’t bad. (Note—This is a guest review, of sorts.

The Navy is looking for highly-qualified officers to operate nuclear power engineering plants aboard nuclear powered submarines and surface ships. In addition, the Navy is also looking for qualified men and women to serve as instructors and research officers at one of two Nuclear Power Schools, or at the Division of Naval Reactors at Arlington, Virginia. Second semester freshmen and first semester sophomores may inquire about our “NUKE” Scholarship Program. Each officer will receive one year of training consisting of 24 weeks at a Nuclear Power School and 26 weeks at a Nuclear Power Training Unit, a training program that is unmatched anywhere in the world. Submarine officers will also receive a 5-week course of Submarine School. Chances for additional training and postgraduate courses are excellent. The new and highly-complex Navy of today looks upon its nuclear power officers as the ones who will lead the Navy in the future. Stop and see a representative of the Officer Information Team who will be in the Memorial Student Center and the Zachary Engineering Center through November 30 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., or contact the Naval ROTC unit on the Texas A&M campus.

Esten, head of the The atre Arts section, will teach chil dren’s creative dramatics, play analysis and voice. Robert Wenck, associate head of the section, will teach children’s theater, basic lighting design and directing. One-act plays directed by stu dents are scheduled in addition to a children’s show and University Interscholastic League one-act plays April 19 and 20 will be hosted. Students may pre-register starting Thursday through Dec. 5 or call 845-2621 for more infor mation. Energy (Continued from page 1) to providing announcements and information for custodial services people. Student members of the group are Scott Eberhart, Tim Ahrens, Mike Rice, Karen Haws, Jan Swellander and Eva Ellis. Release of specific plans and ideas is awaiting approval from the President’s Office. The Bat talion will print all ideas to be implemented. Wainerdi told the committee that everyone will have to curtail on his own as a patriotic move and that the University will have to suffer whatever educational losses occur as a result of the energy crisis. “If not, then some one will have to turn off every thing eventually,” he said. “We’ll have to accept some prices.” In Monday’s Academic Council meeting, President Williams told University administrators, deans and department heads that the University is facing a “clear” crisis and that Gov. Dolph Briscoe has proposed to use TAMU-based Texas Transportation Institute to make recommendations and sug gestions for the State. Dr. Virgil Stover, a programs director at TTI, has said he thinks President Nixon was misled by his advisers in announcing a maximum traffic speed of 50 miles per hour. Tom Cherry told the group that TAMU has two and one-half million gallons of fuel oil and this would be enough for this school year with careful use. Last year, TAMU was burning 50,000 gal lons per day, despite slight brown-out attempts. Williams told the council that the University will buy some fuel this year instead of producing all of it as has been done in the past. The Board of Directors and the Bryan City Council have both approved a plan which would allow the University to tap a power pool of which Bryan is a member. This would be in case the University could no longer produce enough fuel. The Aggie Players have two productions planned for next se mester. Esten will direct Moliere’s “School for Husbands” which will run April 29 through May 4. Try outs will be held Feb. 25. Wenck will direct “Rain” by Somerset Maugham March 4 through 9. Tryouts will be Jan. 22. Both plays will be performed in the Rudder Forum Theater. Students do not need to be enrolled in the atre arts courses to participate in plays. Ford (Continued from page 1) ceedings were especially impor tant because of the start of pre liminary impeachment proceed ings in the House against Nixon. Ford, 60, was strongly pushed for the nomination by his House Republican colleagues. A number of Democrats are likely to vote against him, however, because of his conservative voting record and some allegations he is unsuited for the vice presidency or presi dency. The House Judiciary Commit tee, which wound up its hearings Monday, is expected to vote on the nomination Thursday. Action by the full House is scheduled before Dec. 6.
