'ms , ^ <im* >&&$<. >S8»c '.tm* ysms By CAROLYN BLOSSER The Aggie Players have started their new season with a commenda ble effort in Frederico Garcia- Lorca’s “The House of Bernarda Alba.” The play, which opened last Thursday night in the Rudder Forum, is a strong, intense drama about a peculiar household in turn- of-the-century Spain. The central character in this all female cast is Bernarda Alba herself, a dominating widow who controls the lives and wills of her five unmar ried daughters by imposing strict and harsh discipline on them. The daughters, aged 20 to 39, are unable to assert any will of their own Review Bernarda Alba (Kim Parks) talks to a group of mourn&rs who have come to pay respects to her late husband. “The House of Bernarda Alba, the Aggie Players’ latest production, will be presented Oct. 5-8 in Rudder Forum. Battalion photo by Bernard Cor for fear of their mother's tyranny. As a result, they virtually become pris oners in their own home. The play’s strength lies in the forceful character of Bernarda, magnificently portrayed by Kim Parks. The tall, statuesque Parks main tains an overwhelming presence of inner security and force on stage, which is essential for her part. Her slightest gesture comes through commandingly, and her character carries the whole play. The play begins with Bernarda and her daughters returning home from her husband’s funeral. Bernar- da’s cold, insensitive character is quickly established when she tells Program bans cattle grazing United Press International WASHINGTON — The Agricul- |e Department intends to ban cat- ? grazing “as a general rule” on id that farmers take out of crop eduction in 1978 under a set aside £ |ogram aimed at cutting wheat < Ipluses, Secretary Bob Bergland l r C* Bergland, in a meeting with ^■wspaper farm editors late last jlyeek, said the ban would be im- ■•.bsed to help avoid depressing cat- j:! 5 prices. ^tinder the set aside program, ■ fmers who want to qualify for 1978 ■ heat supports will have to idle : .'reage equal to 20 per cent of their 178 wheat acreage.

This is the first man ever to enter the lives of her daughters, and com plications soon arise when two younger sisters also fall in love with him. Becky Siebert does a nice per formance as Martirio, the feisty and least disciplined of the five daughters. Christi Binz is also good as the youngest daughter Adela, who still clings to some idealistic il lusions about life. The other daughters are por trayed ably by Victorina Martinez, Tricia Cox and Terri Jones, but their characters never fully develop. “The House of Bernarda Alba” will run October 5-8 and is well worth seeing. ^Episcopal j^tubent (Eenter 902 Jersey (adjacent to southside of campus) 846-1726 Tuesdays, 5:30 p.m.: Eucharist & Supper Wednesdays 12 noon Bible Study Fridays, 6:30 a.m.: Eucharist & Breakfast Sundays, 6:30 p.m.: Fellowship & Eucharist Fr.
