For Arnolphe, he would as soon not become one of those men whose wives play around on them, to be a “cuckold,” therefore; and he raises this girl in such ignor ance that she could not conceal an affair from him. It does him little good as she falls in love during his short absence, and is lost to another fel low despite Amolphe’s knowledge. Arnolphe, an overmade, overzeal- ous, pompus fop, is played by Tim McCandlies. He knows he’s losing his girl and he tries everything in his power to prevent it. But he’s such a stupid ass! This is the second production by the Aggie Players company this fall, and Director C. K. Esten prefers to interpret “The School For Wives” as a comedy.

Koldus. Ross told The Battalion after the meeting that although he would agree that the Service Fee was one of the several alternatives to finding funds, he would not take a stand on any particular source of funds without seriously looking at all the possibilities, including the Book Store fund.

GET SOME OF THESE NEW CARDS FOR AGGIES ONLY! by Jean Baptiste Poquelin (Mo- liere) in the Seventeenth Century, this play has peculiar relevance in this day of Women’s Liberation and Sexual Revolution. Then the play is an expose of absurb char acters based on glaring false, laughable premises. This produc tion is high, serious comedy. Stephanie Inman is Agnes, Arnolphe’s girl, who falls in love with Kent Brown, who is a young dandy named Horace. These three are a lovers triangle who are all involved in an unusual combina tion. The interplay surges with absurdities while being played out in relative seriousness. As Moliere wrote “The School For Wives” in French couplets originally, and as he conceived his plays as productions before the words were written, his plays de pend heavily on strong charac terization and vocal inflection to deliver the effect. Whereas a simple reading of the script will require some interpretation to understand, a production of the play will necessitate an expres sive interpretive characterization of each role. From a point within the pro duction company, the performance begins to take shape with concern over the basic details of mood, speed, and dialogue. About half way into the rehearsals the play ers concentrate on the techniques of each one’s character. A great deal of emphasis was Hill (Continued from page 1) it wanted to head off the situ ation of having some vehicles, such as government cars, travel ing at low speeds and others zooming down the highway. It said it had often used its power to alter speed limits, such as at detours, in entering cities from freeways and on farm-to-market roads and curves. But Hill said a 1963 law giving the commission the power to alter speed limits in certain instances does not authorize the commis sion “to establish a new speed limit of general application on all the many thousands of miles of state highways.” On the contrary, Hill said, the obvious intent of the law was to allow the commission to do what the legislature “could not practic ably do”—such as fix maximum safe speed limits, below the gen eral maximum, for example, at railway grade crossings and curves and hills.

He’s bright, ambitious, and well on the road to success as a career life underwriter. His performance surpassed all others in November That’s why he’s Provident Mutual’s “Campus Man of the Month.” And we’d like to point out something significant to his clients and to those who may not be his clients—yet. Outstanding performance is never a matter of luck. It results when an agent is totally committed to the best interests of his clients . . . never when he’s not. A good agent always remem bers this. And so do his clients. PROVIDENT MUTUAL placed in this play on control of each scene and the movement within it. With the introduction of sets, make-up, and costumes, which for this production is mod ern, the concern shifts (oddly) to enjoying the performance and having fun with the characters. Serious comedy such as Mo- liere’s takes an appreciable de gree of coherence and pacing to execute well, and the perform ances of the Aggie Players are becoming stronger as the play progresses through its six-night run. “The School For Wives” plays through Saturday for a dol lar in the Rudder Center Theater. A couple of actors on a stage playing a scene they can believe and be comfortable in wield quite a lot of power over receptive people. They erect a dynamic ar rangement of moods and attitudes which will flow like the rhythm of a song. Playing in such a scene, fitting in and propelling the pro gression of thoughts, is satisfy ing activity. I personally enjoy a competent performance because it’s such an entertaining game to play, just like all the other games people play to entertain themselves when they are not engaged in the ordi nary business of just being alive. Once you’ve got the motivation of the character and the situation figured out, playing them is much more enjoyable than a cheap novel. This is my second escapade with the Aggie Players, a group in the same class of intrinsic bizarreness as “B Qs” and Cepheid Variables. ft H a ppy Cottage 809 E. 29th Bryan “Where Santa left so many gifts” Handicraft Items, Childrens’ Toys & Dolls, Christmas Decorations including Tree Decorations 29^ up, Musical Paperweights, Musical Jewelry Boxes, Miniature Figu rines, Unusual Jewelry.
