The hotel was cited Tuesday for failure to maintain an approved fire alarm system and failure to exhibit an evacuation diagram showing the location of all stairwells. The maximum fine for each violation is $200. The fire caused an estimated $500,000 in damages at the 13- story hotel. The fire department said none of three hotel em ployees on duty last Friday was monitoring the visual fire alarm system. German Club will present j\ parody of Don Juan play by Kathy Wiesepape Battalion Staff It’s not an ordinary play. Don Juan, the legendary lover, wants to escape from the demands of women and pursue his real love, geometry. The action includes scores of bloody deaths, but the play is billed as a comedy. And the entire performance is in German. The Texas A&M German Club will present “Don Juan — Or The Love of Geometry” at 8 p.m. April 12 in Rudder Forum. A detailed English synopsis of the plot will be provided. Barry Crum, a senior biology major, will play Don Juan. His two major love interests, Dona Anna and Miranda, will be play ed by Lili Gish, a junior electrical engineering major, and Karen Heller, a sophomore political science major. Jerenda Frierson is the student director. Three years ago, the German Club started its tradition of pre senting an annual production in German. This year, for the first time, the modern languages de partment offered German 489. Students taking this course par ticipate in the production of the play and receive three hours of credit. Roger Crockett, assistant pro fessor of modern languages and faculty director of the play, said having the class this year has im proved the cast members’ morale and given them an added incentive to work hard. Lauren Specht, a senior man agement major who has been in the German plays for the past three years, agreed that she’s been more motivated this year It takes someone with proficiency plus time plus willingness plus en thusiasm. That’s a tough person to find sometimes. — cast member Lauren Specht. •tf IKss; OUTSTANDING BOOT VALUES JotufJoma S||Q97 CHOC.

This year it’s much easier,” she said. Crockett said this year’s cast has taken initiative in money making projects. They’ve held two coffee and doughnut sales and had a booth at the MSG All- Nite Fair. The cast also is in charge of making costumes and rounding up props for the pro duction. “This year’s cast does things that no other cast has done in the past,” Crockett said. “They’ve taken over a lot of things. 1 can’t do it all — there are too many details." The 22-member cast also is the largest since the German Club started its productions. Crockett said this is the first year he has had no problems in re cruiting cast members. The only prerequisite for being in the play is some know ledge of German, Crockett said. Of the 22 cast members, only two are modern languages ma jors, but all have studied from one to five semesters of German. It takes a special person to be able to do the kind of work that the play demands, Specht said. “It takes someone with profi ciency plus time plus willingness plus enthusiasm,” she said. “That’s a tough person to find sometimes." She said it’s easy for a cast member with a small part to memorize his own German lines and slide by without ever figur ing out what goes on in the rest of the play. But Crockett said the cast members have made an effort to understand the entire play. “They have to understand what they’re saying so that they know how to say it," he said. “This is a very aware cast."

New treatment used on boy with leukemia United Press International HOUSTON — Doctors used an experimental bone marrow transplant treatment as a final effort to save the lif e of a 5-year- old boy suffering from leukemia. Larry Eugene Herrin Jr., a kindergarten pupil in Round Rock, Texas, near Austin, re ceived a transplant of his own purified bone marrow Tuesday. “The doctors say the treat ment looks good on paper, but as to whether it works in the long run, they don’t know because it’s so new,” said Paula Herrin, the boy’s mother. “We’re going through with it because we have no choice.” The technique was de veloped two years ago and has been used on fewer than 100 people worldwide, said Dr. Steven Culbert, a pediatric ( .ni cer specialist at M.D. Anderson Hospital. Because it is still ex perimental and is not yet gener ally available, M.D. Anderson officials discouraged inquiries. Culbert said the boy will die without the treatment, and that even with the treatment his chances of survival are slim. tieiit and mainly it'sb died as a technique separation of leulw from normal bone a cells," Culbert said.
