But, Wolf said, the commis sion can’t take action against the fraternity because Bryan doesn’t have a definition for multiple- family housing. Wolf recommended the com mission amend the ordinance and more clearly define the rules laid out for the district. “You can win the war in the long run, if you clean up the ordinance,” Wolf told the com mission. He said that if the commis sion amends the ordinance and clearly defines multiple-family housing, “you can protect what happens to the rest of the neigh borhood.” But until then, it is not clear what the next step will be for the commission and for the neigh bors who want the fraternity out. Colleen Batchelor, an histor ical district resident leading the fight against the fraternity, says she’s not against a compromise with the fraternity. “I’m not on any kind of cru sade,” she said, but fraternities and families have different sche dules and activities. Theater arts play opens, cast makes it ‘enjoyable’ by Bonnie Langford Battalion Reporter Strong acting by the theater arts cast made Wednesday’s opening night of “What the Butler Saw” an enjoyable pro duction. Even the brief scenes of underwear were polished in the presentation, which runs through Saturday in Rudder Theater. Joe Orton’s play about the events surrounding a mental hospital give the cast several oportunities for laughs and they use them well. One humorous scene occurs while the two psychiatrists are duel ing with pencils and one of them stumbles over the trash basket. “I’m not mad!” shouts Dr. Prentice. “It only looks that way.” Richard Strayer, who plays Dr. Prentice, does a great job of protraying a married man caught seducing another woman. His actions and emo tions add to the credibility of his portrayal of a man lying to his wife. Another well-portrayed character is Dr. Ranee, who is done by Peck Phillips. He car ries just enough lunacy, fast speech, and pacing to make him convincing as a madman. His scenes with the nypho- maniac Mrs. Prentice also go well. She is played by Annette Suite. Prentice claims to be a lesbian, but throws herself at every man in the asylum. Suite’s actions, clothing and Elizabeth Smith, plays Geraldine Barclay, and Richard Strayer, hairstyle make her a believ able frustrated wife. Elizabeth Smith, who plays the secretarial candidate Geraldine Barclay, had a problem with overplaying in Another problem the play had was timing during the un dressing scenes. There complete silence while Miss Barclay undressed. It made the part slow and awkward. United Way kicks off campaign by Michelle Powe Battalion Staff Texas A&M officially kicked off its 1984 United Way cam paign Wednesday morning and announced its goals for the drive at a breakfast held for the drive’s area coordinators from each col lege. Texas A&M’s drive is broken into three parts: the Texas A&M University units, the Texas A&M System units and the stu dents. Dr. Bryan Cole, co-chairman of the drive in charge of the uni versity units, said that the goal for the university this y $56,000, and the goal fc students is $10,000. Last year, the university raised $50,306 and the students raised $3,577. Cole encouraged the area coordinators to fully support the courage thi ear is or the drive and to encourage their col leagues to do the same. He re minded them that Texas A&M’s goal of $111,000 is more than 25 percent of the $420,000 goal set for Brazos County. Dr. Clyde Freeman, executive vice chancellor for administra tion, also encouraged Texas A&M support for the drive, and reminded area coordms that contributions to Wfi i ATnf^T'lU'* Way are tax deductible. iTlllv- Last year the system ni $38,598 for the United Contributions raised bjl United Way drive will be usd support 17 human serviceif cies in the Brazos County ‘Dean packing winds of 60 mph Tropical storm blows into eastern shon United Press Interna GRAPEVINE — Airlines announced V it will spend $15 mill end of 1984 to comj model its largest termi las-Fort Worth Airpot 75,000 square feet of lounge space.

Top winds of the fourth tro pical storm of the 1983 season increased to 60 miles an hour to the north of the center, and forecasters said “further slow stregthening is possible” during the night.

It was moving northward at 10 mph between the mainland and Bermuda, the “alley” traversed by many of this century’s Atlan tic hurricanes. Gale warnings were extended at 6 p.m. north of Virginia Beach to Chincoteague Inlet, Va., and were continued north of Cape Lookout, N.C., to Virgi nia Beach. Forecasters at the National Hurricane Center in Miami said high pressure building up north of the storm center probably would slow Dean’s forward mo tion during the night and early Thursday morning. But they said there was only slightly more than a 10 percent chance the storm center would come within 65 miles of any given mainland point. “We don’t worry muclial 50 mph winds,” said W.E.
