Page 4AThe Battalion/Thursday, April 14, 1983 Business history book written here by Ruth Wedergren Battalion Reporter Two Texas A&M historians have written an illustrated American business history textbook — the only one of its kind, the authors say. Dr. Keith L. Bryant, dean of the College of Liberal Arts, and Dr. Henry C. Dethloff, head of the Department of History, wrote “A History of American Business.” The book was published by Pre ntice-Hall, fnc. Dethloff says the book fo cuses on people in business. “We talk about the rise of the big corporation and the entrepreneur — how the little guy fits in,” he says. “Af ter all, most big businesses came from little ones. “We also look at the role of the individual and include sketches about business lead ers. The main point of the book is to show that the world of business is rapidly chang ing, dynamic and exciting.” Dethloff says the book is the only American business his tory text to have illustrations, adding that it also has tables and graphs. He says he doesn’t know if the book will be used in a new course at Texas A&M on American business history, but he expects it to be used at other schools. “We feel it will be adopted at universities in the country because American business history is something taught in colleges of business or liberal arts or both,” Dethloff says. “We think it has an appeal outside the classroom. People are concerned that they don't know enough about business, and today they are more eco nomically conscious.” The entire project, includ ing writing the book and negotiating for its publication, Dethloff says, has taken about three years. He says this is the first book he and Bryant have written together. Agenda Business, industry lectures this week Donald N.

Mon. thru Sat. beer and wine during the play’s performance, a theater official said Wednesday. Jan Smally, co-founder and treasurer of the Encore Theater Co., said Corpus Christi vice squad officers reported the sale of alcoholic beverages to Alco- ,hol Beverage Control officials when they viewed the play last week. The play, written by British author Peter Schaf fer, describes the psychological problems of a stable boy, whose worship of horses involves religious and sexual overtones. The play has won several awards including the prestigious Tony Award. Smally said the play con tained a two-minute, 45-second nude scene in which the boy attempts sexual intercourse with a girl. “The vice squad told the ABC. that there were two stark naked people on stage simulating the sex act,” she said. “They sat there for 2.5 hours for that scene to see if there was any penetration. They did not understand the story.” Although the vice squad did not find the play obscene, Smal ly said officers reported the sale of beer and wine to the ABC, forcing her to temporarily give up her liquor license. “I explained to the ABC that I did not feel we were breaking the law,” Smally said. “This is not a topless bar and we’re not doing anything obscene on stage. The beer and wine were just a service for our patrons. “But you just cannot have a license or permit where there is nudity. As soon as the show is over, I will f ill out an application for reinstatement (of the license).” MSC PRESENTS ^rr + * * * * jf jf x- jf * * jf Senators * Eugene McCarthy and Robert Taft Cubicle applications for the Student Programs Office Room 216 MSC are now available.
