WHITE Battalion Staff Opening night for “Luv,” star ring Texas A&M University’s tggie Players, was an example of low hours of rehearsal can pro- luce a polished performance. The MSC Dinnter Theater iroduction, set on a bridge in [New York City, stars three Texas Ja&M students in roles through [which they explore the emo- [tional wonders and complica- [tions of love. As “Luv,” opens Harry Berlin [(played by Dave Rich) is prepar- Jingtojump off the bridge. Just as [he is about to jump over the rail- ling to his death an old high [school buddy, Milt Manville (played by Steve King) stops him. They recall high school days and recount the years since they last saw one another. Harry is a poor, slovenly beg- ir who rummages through the irbage. Milt is a wealthy middle-class married man who happens by the docks. They dis cuss why they turned out the way they did, one an obvious success and the other a failure. Soon all pretense is gone and Milt confesses that his life is also “pure hell.” But Milt inspires Harry to look for love and the enchanting things it can do for a life. He then sets Harry up with his own wife Ellen (played by Tricia Cox) because he wants a divorce so he can marry his girlfriend Linda. Harry and Ellen are total op posites but love somehow de velops between them. Ellen, an intelligent woman but distraught wife, knows her husband has been unfaithful. She is depres sed until Harry reminds her that love can clear away the past. The two discuss how to break the news to Milt. When he returns Milt is delighted but pretends to be angry. Act One ends as Harry and Ellen leave together and Milt dances off to meet Linda. Act Two opens several months later when the novelty has rub bed off the new relationships. Milt and Ellen are both dissatis fied with their new partners. The last act probes the reasons for their breakup and for their even- Review tual remarriage. After some slapstick stunts made attempting to “help” Harry commit suicide Ellen and Milt leave Harry where they found him. “Luv,” written by Murray Schisgal, was directed by Roy O’Valle. The acting seemed to outshine the play itself. Dave Rich as Harry Berlin was a comic character who the audi ence could sympathize with. Rich performed a few stunts and was especially effective in character when Harry recalled his torturous childhood or sud denly fell into a trance. Steve King as Milt Manville was a little extreme. Milt’s character, though, was an exagg eration of the ambitious and self ish qualities in all people. The only fault in this portrayal was that it was so extreme it made the characters seem silly. Tricia Cox gave the best per formance as Ellen Manville. Cox’s portrayal of intellectual, prim-and-proper Ellen was de lightful. Her excellent percep tion of line timing was de monstrated throughout the play. Cox also sang a comic “What Is This Thing Called Love?” She was very entertaining. The Aggie Players, with the MSC Directorate, the MSC Hospitality Committee, and the MSC Food Services, sponsored the dinner theater.

Jraham also said secrecy was sssary about the $22.9 million [dfo avoid being inundated with liests for help. [he seven-year-old fund, known ie World Evangelism and Chris- Education Fund of Dallas, vs most of its proceeds from the igelistic association and gives iey to several Christian causes [h as the Campus Crusade for ist and the Fellowship of Christ- i Athletes. [he Observer said single-year pations had amounted to as much 11.2 million, but last year, the jd distributed $324,000. ’und assets in 1976 included acres of undeveloped moun- land in Buncombe County, worth $3.6 million, and a 1.3 million portfolio of blue-chip pksand bonds including holdings VT&T, Exxon, General Electric IBM. [he paper said a Dallas lawyer, John Crawford, bought the Eddie Dominguez ’66 Joe Arciniega ’74 Greg Price land in his name four years ago, using world Evangelism money. He did not use Graham’s name or or ganization because Graham said he and his associates feared the price would increase if people knew he was buying the land. Crawford transferred the land to World Evangelism in 1975. Until last week, Graham associates de nied they owned the land. The Observer said Crawford bought the land from Edward Daw son Roberts, founder of the Bank of World Commerce, an organization law enforcement sources have linked to underworld figures such as Meyer Lansky. Graham, his associates and Bun combe County real estate officials who worked on the transaction said they were unaware of reports about Roberts. Does your Final Review uniform fit right?
