was portr a yed by Jaimie Craig.
There were scenes in which the
strong character of Josie should have
electrified the theatre during fights
Review
with her father. Unfortunately,
Craig was not as powerful as needed
to perfectly create the character.
Bruce Kates portrayed the part of
Jim Tyron e; the Broadway man, so
well that it became difficult to tell
where Bruce Kates left off and Jim
Tyrone be^an. Kates clearly does the
best performance. As Tyrone, a man
in severe emotional pain, every
thread of his internal conflict is
brought out for the world to see.
Then there’s Phil Hogan, Josie’s
father. Chuck McDaniel does an ex
cellent job as the father, a rough,
foulmouthed. Irishman whose love
for money drives him to use his own
daughter in an attempt for personal
gain.
As for Mike Hogan, Josie’s
brother, played by Dave Rich, his
apperance is brief, but serves to rein
force the characters of Josie and Phil
Hogan.
Dan Sullins gives an exceptional
performance as T. Stedman Harder,
a wealthy, spineless, spoiled man
who can’t buy everything with
money.
The set, designed by Robert W.
Wenck, was very much alive and
realistic; loaded with symbolism
from the wooden crates in the yard to
the tattered screen doors on the farm
house. Add to this moonlight and
crickets chirping on a spring night,
and the outcome will be the effective
scene created for this presentation.
Director Lawrence Leach has
capitalized on a great O’Neil play
and on the capabilities of these fine
performers. Anyone who likes
O’Neil is sure to enjoy the Aggie
Players production of "A Moon for
the Misbegotten.”

paper has been rated First Class
for the first semester of 1976-77.
The award comes from the As
sociated Collegiate Press’ 93rd All
American Critical Service. The
Battalion was one of more than
2,100 newspapers and news
magazines evaluated by the nation’s
top journalists.
This year’s entries were judged by
Bill Ward, director of Journalism at
Southern Illinois University.
This rating of The Battalion fol
lows closely on the heels of the
presentation of numerous awards
to the newspaper at the Southwest
ern Journalism Congress last week.
I m pleased with the efforts of
this year’s staff,” said Gael L.
Cooper, director of student publi
cations. “This shows that they
aren t taking the business lightly,
and the students are concerned
with presenting usable information
in The Battalion. It’s nice to know
years military service. She came to
Texas A&M from the U.S. Naval
Academy. Prevatte was assigned
there on temporary duty to help in
stall the Academy’s first women
plebes.
Commissioned in 1971, Prevatte
served at Corpus Christi Naval Air
Station and at the Annapolis Naval
Station. At the latter she was admin
istrative department head.
Prevatte first made acquaintance
with Texas A&M while attending
MacArthur High School, where she
was graduated in 1965. “I’m amazed
that I got to come here and will be a
part of it,” Prevatte said. She did
graduate work at George Washing
ton University and plans to pursue a
master’s in management here.
A woman officer served here in
the Air Force ROTC in the late
1960s. Capt. Theresa Holzmann

you are doing something you can be
proud of, but it’s nicer when some
one recognizes it.”
Last year the newspaper re
ceived a Second Class Award.
In Evaluating The Battalion,
Ward said the paper possessed “a
clean, quick look” with “fundamen
tally strong graphics” and he gave
the newspaper excellent ratings in
headline writing, sports stories,
straight news stories, opinion fea
ture writing, front page makeup
with extra credit for advertising
appearance and communication.
Ward noted good articles on
players and coaches; brief, crisp,
interesting leads on the news
stories; and excellent reviews of
records, books, films and plays.
He also praised the editorial car
toons and complemented the
editors for “using local talent to
comment on local situations” and
ended the critique saying The Bat
talion had “a good, basic, solid plan
for newspaper physical personality,
appearance and design.”

drug addict at 15, troubled in part
by the story of her heritage that her
adoptive parents had given her
when she was eight. Later, when
they told her the truth, that she was
the illegitimate child of a widow and
a married man, she sought psychiat

Mrs. Lifton wrote that Pat began
