Utility Costs on the Rise
In the next few months
utility costs will rise /a
significantly. For off 'i
campus students this #
will mean paying a
higher bill each month. For college students
on a tight budget, that extra amount could
make a big difference. There are ways,
however, of combating this problem. The
following tips can help reduce energy
consumption and keep those monthly utility
bills down.
When using air conditioner
• Turn the lights off when leaving a room.
• Open the windows and use fans instead of using your air
conditioner on cooler days.
• Dress for the warmer indoor temperatures. Casual clothes
of lightweight open-weave fabrics are most comfortable.
In the kitchen
• Never boil water in an open pan. Water will come to a boil
faster and use less energy in a kettle or covered pan.
• When using the oven, make the most of the heat from that
single source. Cook as many foods as you can at one time.
• Use an electric skillet or toaster oven for small meals rather
than the kitchen range or oven. The smaller appliances use less
energy.
• Match the size pan to the size of the heating element. More
heat will get to the pan; less will be lost to surrounding air.
• If you have a gas stove, make sure the pilot light is burning
efficiently-with a blue flame. A yellowish flame indicates an
adjustment is needed
As costs rise in the next few months, conserving energy will
become important to everyone. These tips on conserving energy are
simple ways to save money and keep within your budget.
• Set your thermostat at 78°. Some experts estimate that the
difference between 72° and 78° can save as much as 47 percent
on cooling costs.
• Put the fan setting on automatic. In humid weather
automatic fan operation helps the system remove humidity.
• Clean or replace the air conditioning filter at least once a
month. When the filter is dirty air movement is restricted, which
reduces the efficiency of the air dconditioner and increases the
operating costs.
• If your apartment is unoccupied during the day, turn your
air conditioner off.
• Consider using a fan with your air conditioner, this will
allow a higher thermostat setting without a loss in comfort.
• Do not place lamps or a television near your thermostat.
The thermostat senses the heat produced by these appliances
and causes the air conditioner to run longer than necessary.
• Keep lights on low setting or off. Lights generate heat and
add to the load on your air conditioner.
With or without air conditioning
• Reduce radiant heat gain through windows by installing
vertical louvers,awnings, solar screens, or reflective solar film.
Draw draperies, blinds, and shades on windows that receive
direct sun.

A&M students
to perform play
‘auf Deutsch’

By JENS B. KOEPKE
Reporter
Several Texas A&M students will
try their hand at international
drama in the presentation of the
German play “Jacobowsky Und Der
Oberst” at 8 p.m. tonight and Satur
day in Rudder Forum.
The play is performed entirely
“auf Deutsch” (in German), but a de-
detailed English synopsis will be pro
vided to help the audience follow the
action. The performance is spon
sored by the German Club and the
modern languages department.
“The play is a unique opportunity
for German students to get not only
a drama experience, but a German
drama experience,” said Roger
Crockett, co-director and German
professor.
The program began in 1981 as a
volunteer one-act play, Crockett
said. Since that time, it has grown
into a full-length play that students
can participate in for class credit.
“It accelerates their learning of
the language through memoriza
tion,” he said.
The students also learn more
about phrasing, grammar and pho
netics than what they get in their
regular classes, he said.
“Jacobowsky Und Der . Oberst"
was chosen because it has recent his
torical background, Crockett said,
and because it is one of the few Ger
man drama/comedies that has about
the same number of male and fe
male roles.
“The play deals with the chaos
and panic that occurred in France
when the Germans were advancing
in June 1940,” said Wulf Koepke,
co-director and German professor.
The story revolves around the
conflict between two Polish men with
different beliefs who are forced to
flee together and the French woman
that tries to reconcile their differ
ences.
Tadeusz Boleslav Stjerbinsky, the
dignified cavalry officer from a no
ble family, is to deliver top-secret
documents to London. His mission is
doubly dangerous because there is a
price on his head, due ft) a prison es
cape. Stjerbinsky is aided ahd sierved
by his loyal confidant, Szabuniewicz.
His rival is S.L. Jacobowsky, an
optimistic Jew, born in Poland but
raised in Germany, who has had to
llee for his life four times—once
from the Czar who killed his father
and three times from the Nazis.
Throughout his tragic life Jaco
bowsky has applied a unique philoso
phy — whatever happens in life,
there are always two alternatives.
Marianne Deloupe, a French
woman, stands between the two men
in their comic flight from the Ger
mans. In the beginning, she is in love
with Stjerbinsky and is caught up in
the niceties of the bourgeoisie. At
play’s end, she has fallen in love with
Jacobowsky and has been trans
formed into a bold woman who won
ders if there are any real menleftin
the world.
The foursome finally reach the
French port town, Saint Jean-de-
Luz, and meet with the English rep
resentative, Commander Wright,
who of fers them only two placesona
ship. They must decide wno is to es
cape to freedom.
Lauren Specht, the play’s studem
director, has taken part in every play
done with the German Club.
“I had a rather good command of
German, but still it’s difficult to
really understand what you’re
saying,” Specht said. “You don't gei
the full weight of what you re
saying."
Without exactly understanding
the dialogue, it is difficult to present
a convincing performance, she said.
The quality of the acting, and of
the sets and costumes nave im
proved every year, Specht said.
Ben Galewsky, who plays Jaco
bowsky, said: “Being in German,it’s
more difficult to memorize parts,
and then there’s always the possibil
ity that if you have to improvise, that
you have to do it in German.”
Crockett said preparations for the
play began in October with the
tryouts and the casting of the play.
After rehearsing the remainder of
the semester, a final cast was chosen
and registered for the spring semes
ter class.
“We’re trying to establish a tradi
tion in the department, one that the
German section and the deparfmenl
can be proud of,” Crockett said.

Juvenile suspect
in shooting released
Associated Press
SAN ANTONIO —A 14-year-old
boy accused of shooting a 15-year-
ola middle school student was re
leased from the county juvenile de
tention center Wednesday, authori
ties said.
Tom Broussard, a spokesman for
Bexar County’s juvenile system, said
the unidentified youngster was re
leased into the custody of his par
ents.
The youngster turned himself in
to the assistant principal at Page
Middle School Tuesday after a 15-
year-old boy was shot in the chest,
assistant principal J.D. Brown said.
The incident occurred on the
school playground shortly before
classes began, and Brown said the
youngster told him he was provoked
into the shooting by other students'
heckling.
Police said a complaint alleging
aggravated assault with a deadly
weapon had been turned over to ju
venile authorities in connection with
the case.
