By PEGGY C. McCULLEN Battalion Reporter A group of hookers are coming to Texas A&M University tonight to hare the stage with bankers and lusinessmen in “Three Penny Op- ■ra,” produced by the Aggie ’layers. Director Lawrence Leach said at despite minor illnesses and last ninute touch-ups, the Bertolt Irecht take-off on John Gay’s 1728 Beggar’s Opera, ” will open with an iptimistic start. Goings-on of House televised United Press International WASHINGTON — It cost $1.2 nillion to install sophisticated color Revision equipment and another 278,000 a year for salaries of the 12 echnicians needed to operate it. But the result will be gavel-to- jvel color television coverage of he House of Representatives. It began Monday — but for the rst month will be only for the 435 lembers themselves. They’ll have ?ecial receivers in their offices so ley won’t have to go the the floor to eep track of what’s happening in le chamber. By March 5, full House coverage ill be transmitted via satellite to ible television companies around ie United States, with a potential f reaching millions of American ouseholds. Regular news media Iso will be able to pick up as much overage as desired. The idea is not universally popu- ir. Republicans fear majority Dem- crats will get a political advantage. Hhers worry the cameras will focus n members sleeping, reading ewspapers (against the rules), or in olitical huddles — or will show a early empty chamber. The play concerns the beggar s union run by J. J. Peachum, father of Miss Polly Peachum. Why Miss Polly Peachum is in volved with Mack the Knife, who is involved with the gang which is in volved with the hookers, you’ll have to find out for yourself. “Three Penny Opera” will run to night through Saturday night in Rudder Theater. Show-time is 8 p.m. It is not an opera, but a musi cal, with students filling all of the parts and music supplied by volun teers. Leach said the play was written in 1920 to expose political flaws of the existing government in Germany, however he said Brecht’s talent for producing humorous lines overpo wered the ability of the play to de liver the social messages. In “Three Penny Opera,” the crooks play the businessmen roles, showing what little difference exists in the two professions in society. Kurt Weill’s haunting music will add to the play’s dark humor and sarcasm exposing hypocrises of soci ety. “Three Penny Opera” ran for six years beginning in 1955 in the New York Greenwich Village Theater. Employers look at grades — sometimes United Press International BARTLESVILLE, Okla. — Fifty recruiters from Phillips Petroleum visited 70 colleges and universities in 1978 to interview 3,000 engineers and scientists. Less than 13 percent — 385 — were hired, said Dwight Boesiger, one of the interviewers. What makes a good prospective employee? “I look for grades first,” said the research and development engi neer. “Then I look for people with enthusiasm and interest in the job. Sometimes we’ll pick them over others with better grades.” Try something like: Tired of the same old stuff. Try country dancing at a new place. See new faces. Everyone Welcome.
