The museum and park is
being dedicated in honor of
Adm. Chester Nimitz, the
senior Commander of the
Naval Fleet in the Pacific and
the senior U.S. representative

Japanese in World War II. He
grew up in Fredricksburg and
later went to the Naval

Nimitz received 15 decora

the United States. He also has
been awarded 19 honorary

Syracuse and Tulane.
The Ross Volunteers, cre

of the Scott Volunteers, con
sists of 144 Corps of Cadet
members, 72 seniors and 72
juniors. However all of the
seniors are not active, Robison
said. The name was changed
in 1891 to the Ross Volunteers
in honor of Lawrence Sullivan
Ross, a former Texas A&M
president and governor of
Texas. The Volunteers are ex
pected to keep at least a 2.3
grade-point ratio and have a
record of contributing to the
University both in and out of
Corps activities, Robison said.
Robison said the Volun
teers strive to be a “composite
role model of leadership for
the Corps of Cadets and the
University.”

S mens tonight. The play, by
L ennessee Williams, will be pre-
^nted at 8 p.m. today through
aturday and again Nov. 17 to
9 in Rudder Forum,
ones “Summer and Smoke” cen-
;rs around two young people in
s repoe small town of Glorious Hill
e igi. tst before World War I. They
ie re in love, but can’t seem to
j r .iake any concessions to make
‘ leir love work.
r an “ Wendy Pesek plays Alma
w Vinemiller, the preacher’s
n ty aughter. She is approaching
unv ie age of a spinster, but wants to
boost
ly tci
laid
marry someone she loves. The
young Winemiller is saddled
with the responsiblities of her
parents. Her mother, played by
Joyce Hayes, has slipped into
f iermanent childhood. Her
ather, played by Marc Gessner,
is an Episcopal preacher. She
leads a drab life because she al
ways must keep good company
and only go to nice places.
She is in love with Dr. John
Buchanan’s son. The doctor has
given up on his son, who is
drinking, gambling and seeing a
disreputable woman, and is
threatening to throw him out.
But Winemiller manages to con
vince the doctor, played by Peck
Phillips, to give his son a chance
to get his lile straightened out.
The demands on the
preacher’s daughter prove too
much for Dr. John Buchanan
Jr., played by Richard Strayer.
He is in love with Alma, but is
afraid of her soul just as much as
she fears his body.
Becky Hernandez plays Rosa
Gonzales; Guy Culbertson plays
her father. Rosa also is in love
with the young doctor and her
father wants desperately to
make his daughter happy. The
young Buchanan already owes
Gonzales for a large gambling
debt and agrees to marry the
girl. The senior Buchanan com
es homes to find a party going
on. He fights with Gonzales and
is killed. This death finally
brings his son into responsibil
ity. But it is too late for Alma, she
becomes a shell of her former
self.
The young doctor later mar
ries Nellie Ewell, played by Judy
Redding.
Holly Anderson and Robin
Bernstein play the two children
in the prologue and Patrick Ber-
ret plays the traveling salesman.
