Set in present-day New York, the play has been a long-time favorite of roadshows and dinner theatres and was highly acclaimed in both its stage and screen versions. The play premiered in 1962 with Jason Robards and Sandy Dennis in the principal roles. It was later made into an Academy Award-winning motion picture with Robards, Bar bara Harris, and Martin Balsam. The story revolves around Mur ray Burns, a happy-go-lucky bachelor who has been left the re sponsibility of bringing up his twelve year old nephew. Murray has just quit his job as head writer for the Chuckles the Chipmunk show and is presently unemployed. But this doesn’t bother Murray; he goes right on enjoying his freedom and the little things in life, like going down Park Avenue in the middle of the night yelling, “Okay, rich people, I want to see you all out on the street for volleyball!” Eventually Murray’s behavior comes to the attention of two wel fare workers who inform him that he must find a job or give up his nephew. What will he do? Thus be gins the comedy as everyone tries to make Murray change: his brother who is also his agent, the lady social worker he falls in love with, his former employer who is bombing out in the ratings. The play ends happily with everyone getting what he wants in cluding Murray who continues as the loveable, eccentric non conformist he is bound to be. Heading the cast are Bill Gelber as Murray and Bobbin Olsen as Sandra Markowitz. Murray Snyder portrays Nick, the nephew, and Dave Witzel is Arnold, the brother. Albert Amundson, is played by Mark Brack, and Marc Van Bavel is cast as Leo Herman, better known as “Chuckles.” The production crew for the play includes Kevin Borgeson, Ann Gelber, Mary Alice Howard, Robert Wenck, and Kenny Wittman, Deedee Holder is Assis tant Director. Guest director for “A Thousand Clowns” is Gary A. Williams, a re cent honor graduate of the Univer sity of Texas Department of Drama where he received his degree in di recting. Curtain time is 8:00 p.m. Tickets are $1.00 for adults, and $.50 for children. They will be available at the door. Illegal use of farm plates often done AUSTIN — One of the most common violations of motor vehicle registration laws in Texas is the use of farm registration plates on a vehi cle used for non-farm purposes. Farmers and ranchers pay only half the normal registration fee for plates on vehicles used solely for farm purposes and certain personal activities of farm and ranch families. The law is specific in stating that a farm-registered vehicle “may not be used for other gainful employ ment.” “Violation of this statute is consid ered a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of $25 to $200,” according to R. W. Townsley, director of the State Department of Highways and Public Transportation’s Motor Ve hicle Division. Townsley said a farmer or rancher may not use his farm-registered ve hicle as a means of transportation to an industrial job, nor for hire —- even if it is for the transport of farm or ranch products. Violations frequently occur when a farm-registered pickup is sold to a non-farm operator, Townsley said. In such instances, the plates must be surrendered and application made for new registration. fupfnmmb* 5® Eddie Dominguez ’66 Joe Arciniega ’74 Greg Price
