Aggie Players
Crucible” tryouts to open
Aggie Players auditions for “The
Crucible” by Arthur Miller, will be
Jan. 20 in the Forum of the Univer
sity Theater Arts Complex at 7:30
pm. The production which will be
staged Fell. 27-29 and March 1, 6-8
calls for 11 men and 11 women (“one
of which must be black and beauti
ful,” says Kay Sloney of the Aggie
Players). Robert W. Wenck, chair
man of the Theater Arts Section,
will direct the production.
Miller, a Pulitzer Prize winner,
whose other literary efforts include
“All My Sons” and “Death of a
Salesman”, has won the reputation
of being one of the most important
American playwrites of our time.
Winner of the Tony award, “The
Crucible”, is a dramatic re-telling of
the historic witchcraft trials in
Salem, Mass., in 1692. When it first
appeared on the New York stage in
1953, it became one of the most
hotly discussed subjects of the time.
Most of Miller’s audiences
thought they saw an analogy bet
ween the Salem witcih-hunts and
the McCarthy communist hunts.
Some partisans angrily denied that
there was any contemporary paral
lel to the story of the perversions of
justice that occurred in old Salem.
Others said that Miller’s revelation
of the techniques of witch-hunts —
that employ the authority of being
the first to accuse, to ruin the life of
an enemy, and implicate others as
the easiest way for culprits to clear
themselves — indeed had a lesson
for today.
Miller has said that everyone of
his 22 characters in this play has a
similar role in the terrible episodes
of 1692 in Salem when 19 persons
were hanged as witches on the hear
say of hysterical accusers, and
others saved themselves only by
“confessing” that they had made
pacts with the Devil.
The playwrite focusses most of
the attention on the fate of a young
farmer’s wife, accused of witchcraft
by a cunning girl who hopes that she
might eventually replace the wife in
the affections of the husband — and
the doom that this husband also
meets when he attempts to save his
wife from the unfounded charge be
fore the prejudiced authorities.
The play follows John and
Elizabeth Proctor through their
whole ordeal — first vague suspi
cion, then the arrest and the im
placable trial in which any defense
from vicious charges is regarded as
an heretical attack upon the court
itself. Finally, the Proctor must con
fess to something he knows is a lie,
and at last, the roll of the drums at
the foot of the gallows.
Bugging report overblown

seminar
offered
A&M offers graduate students an
overnight stay in Junction, Texas
and a brown-bag seminar in human
values this spring.
Students enrolled in the Junction
class will provide professional ser
vices to the Junction Independent
School District through appraisal of
facilities and reviews of future en
rollment, monetary resources and
curriculum.
One overnight stay in the Hill
Country community is called for in
the tentative work schedule of the
Tuesday evening class.
The brown-bagger looks at
human values in decision-making
with a look at the decision-making
process from such perspectives as
the philosopher, novelist, poet,
painter, sculptor, historian,
dramatist, architect, journalist and
musician.
The lunchtime class meets at
noon on Wednesdays.
Both are offered by the Educa
tional Administration Department.
it conducted massive domestic sur
veillance “overblown.”
Schlesinger, who headed the spy
agency for six months in 1973, is
now secretary of defense. His com
ments on the CIA came during a
Pentagon news conference.
Schlesinger said the CIA domes
tic operations he discovered when
he became director of the agency
“were not activities in such number
or so surprising as to be a source of
national turmoil.”
He said they were activities
“which, indeed, in retrospect, are
to be regretted.”
But whether they violated any
laws were questions lawyers should
decide, he said.
Schlesinger was one of three wit
nesses to appear Monday before a
blue-ribbon panel headed by Vice
President Nelson A. Rockefeller
which President Ford named to in
vestigate allegations the CIA en
gaged in widespread spying on
Americans.
In other developments: — It was
learned the White House would an
nounce on Wednesday the ap
pointment of David W. Belin,
46-year-old Iowa lawyer, to the key
post of staff director for the Rock
efeller panel.
— Deputy Atty. Gen. Laurence
H. Silberman issued a five-page
statement tracing the establishment
during the administration of Lyn
don B. Johnson of an intelligence
system designed to provide infor
mation on persons involved in civil
disorders. The statement confirmed
that in 1970, the Justice Depart
ment gave the names of 10,000 to
12,000 persons on a computer tape
to the CIA.
“We have been advised that the
CIA never put the tape to use and
that it was destroyed in March
1974,” Silberman said.
-The first of a i
congressional investigations of the
allegations opens on Wednesday
with a hearing before the intellig
ence subcommittee of the Senate
Appropriations Committee. CIA
Director William E. Colby was
scheduled to be the lead-off wit
ness.
Colby was due to return to
Capitol Hill on Thursday lor the
opening session of Senate Armed
Services Committee hearings on
the CIA.
The CIA chief also was the lead-
off witness before the Rockefeller
panel on Monday and spent several
hours in closed session with the
eight-member commission.
