mark Commission Wednesday
night it presently has no author
ity to kick members of the Texas
A&M chapter of the Sigma
Alpha Epsilon fraternity out of
their 1903 mansion at 600 E.
29th St.
Since the SAEs moved into
the house in August there has
been some question as to
whether their presence violates
a historical district ordinance
which prohibits any multiple-
family housing in that district,
and some neighbors have been
trying to get the fraternity kick
ed out.
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'*

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
