Citations
issued in
hotel fire
United Press International
DALLAS — Fire department
officials issued two fire code
violation citations to the Regent
Hotel, site of a four alarm blaze
last week that injured seven
people.
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.

since she’s receiving a grade and
three hours credit for her work.
“It was tough for me to go to
rehearsals sometimes last year.
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.
