Carter, Ford
sought for
Wiley Series
By MEG CADIGAN
Slut! Writer
Former Presidents Gerald Ford
and Jimmy Carter were approved by
the Memorial Student Center Coun
cil Monday night as speakers for the
Wiley Lecture Series, pending con
tract negotiations.
Emma Boumgardener, Texas
A&M Class of ’84, was approved as a
speaker for MSC Career Devel
opment on Oct. 27. Boumgardener,
a chemical engineer for Exxon
Corp., will discuss “The Transition
Between Academic Life and Cor
porate Life.”
Dr. Rolando Hinojosa, an award
winning Latin American author, was
approved to speak on Mexican-
American literature. The speech will
be presented by the MSC Committee
for the Awiireness of Mexican/Ame-
rican Culture on Oct. 29.
The council also approved groups
of speakers for MBA/Law Day, pre
sented by MSC Career Development
and Political Forum’s E.L. Miller
Lecture Series, titled “The Future in
Space.”
David Klosterboer, executive vice
president of programs, told the
council five performances tenta
tively were booked during the Na
tional Association of Campus Activ
ities Convention.
The convention, held recently in
Houston, gave the 18-member A&M
delegation a chance to screen va
rious performances, and arrange co
op programs with other Texas and
Louisiana universities, Klosterboer
said.
Co-op programs are those
brought by several schools in an area
at approximately the same time in
order to cut costs.
Klosterboer said that co-op pro
grams could save the MSC up to
S3,000.
If an individual committee
chooses to bring a performer, it still
must negotiate the contract, Kloster
boer said.
In other business, the council ap
proved an MSC Hospitality sweat
shirt sale.
Vice President of Development
)ill Th rash reported on MSC fund
raising activities, and Amateur Ra
dio Chairman Bob Plestead reported
that his committee is working to set
up amateur radio licensing classes
on campus.
Activities of Religious Right debated
Speakers interpret 1st Amendment
Dr. Larry Hickman
By SYLVIA PENA
Reporter
“An inf ringement on one free
dom of the First Amendment is
an infringement of all them, but
you have to treat it like you’re eat
ing an elephant taking it one bite
at a time," the coordinator of the
Moral Majority of Texas said
Monday night in Rudder l ower.
Fred Mason and Dr. Larry
Hickman, an associate professor
of philosophy at Texas A&M, de
bated the effects of the Religious
Right on the First Amendment in
a program sponsored by the Po
litical Science Society and Pi
Sigma Alpha.
Mason said he sees no problem
with interpreting the First
Amendment as it was originally
written.
"It is easy to understand,” Ma
son said.
Mason also said the First
Amendment is made for all of us.
Hickman, on the other hand,
said the First Amendment is for
everyone — except those who
have radical ideas.
Hickman said some people
would like to change the First
Amendment to suit their belief s.
Hickman said the First
Amendment does not exist sepa
rately since it was incorporated
into the 14th Amendment by the
U.S. Supreme Court.
Hickman and Mason also took
a look at censorship.
Hickman criticized the Reli
gious Right's effort to push for
Book censorship.
“The group (Moral Majority)
has even tried to censor such
books as the American Heritage
Dictionary." he said.
Mason countered by saying
that books are already censored
bv the publishers before the pub
lic reads them anyway. He said
people should question how a
book was censored before they
saw it.
"We should go back to the
times when we used good judge
ment and common sense in these
matters," Mason said.
He said there are two sides to
every story and it would be nice to
see both.
"1 am not in favor of censoring
any material unless it is a matter
of national interest,” Mason said.
Hickman said there are even
passages in the Bible that are of
fensive to people.
I he two also discussed the is
sue of prayer in schools.
Hickman said students should
have the right to pray in schools,
but giving them this right
wouldn’t lx* beneficial since ju-
deo-Christians probably would
control it.
“The only problem with prayer
in schools is the prayer will be
controlled by Christians, and the
students will not have a choice,"
Fred Mason
Hickman said.
Mason said the issue hast
overworked and he doesn'ii
it will ever lx resolved.
During a question-ami-®
period, the two wereaskedioi
line religion in terms of theFi
Amendment.
Cyrano de Bergerac worth the wait
By WendyJohnson
Stuff Writer
MSC Town Hall/Broadway’s pre
sentation of Cyrano de Bergerac got
off to a sluggish, hour-late start
Monday due to bad weather, but
those who stayed were entertained,
though long into the night.
Emily Frankel’s adaption of Ed
mond Rostand’s classic tale of unre
quited love was surprisingly contem
porary and free from ponderous
images and outdated metaphors.
Written with her husband, John Cul-
lum, who played Cyrano, in mind,
she injecteo humor, heroism and ro
mance into the dialogue. She
brought the 17th century
swordsman, with his legendary nose,
right into 1985.
Cullum made an engaging Cy
rano, showing us a wit as sharp as
the sword he brandished.
He parodied his nose in a hila
rious soliloquy and composed a bal
lad about the youn^ man as they
fenced. The scene introduces Cy
rano to us as an idealist with unyield
ing pride, a master of words and of
the sword.
We also first learn of Cyrano's
love for his beautiful cousin Roxane,
played by Megan Gallagher, and his
despair at being too ugly to win her.
The second scene takes place in
the pastry shop of Cyrano’s friend
Ragueneau, a man who worships Cy
rano.
Much to Cyrano’s dismay, Roxane
tells him of her love for a handsome
young man named Christian, a new
recruit in Cyrano’s guard. She
makes Cyrano promise to watch out
for her lover.
Christian also loves Roxane, and
Cyrano and Christian join forces to
impress her; Christian lends Cyrano
his face, while he borrows Cyrano’s
wit.
Through clever “womanly” ma
nipulation, Roxane manages to pro
tect the two from being sent to the
front line by her uncle, who also has
designs on her.
Christian thinks he doesn’t need
Cyrano anymore and shows his own
lack of imaginative love talk, an
gering Roxane. Later, as she stands
on the balcony, it is Cyrano who
saves Christian's sagging reputation
by stepping in with his loving ver
biage.
This is a very sweet scene because
it’s the first time that Cyrano speaks
to Roxane from his own heart, not
through another’s voice.
Cullum especially tickled the audi
ence when he played the madman,
fancifully describing six methods of
space travel to Roxane’s uncle, stal
ling while she and Christian are mar
ried by a monk that she duped into
the task.
In the second act, the play took a
more serious tone. The uncle sent
Cyrano and Christian into the front
line of the battle and arranges for
their company to be singledom
attacked by the enemyThti
backfires when Roxane show®
the battlefield. Cyrano hasni
her twice a day, under Cba
name, and her love for there
thinks is so eloouent drawshnt
side.By now, Christian realizei
Cyrano loves Roxane, but bB
before he gets the chancetodl
w ho is the real author of thek
ters.
Roxane joins a cornea
mourns Christian’s death fo
years. Cyrano visits hereveryk
As the play doses, Cyn®
been fatally wounded by one#
enemies and asks to read Cte
last letter, which Roxanehaslfii
her heart for 14 years. Ashe
the letter aloud, Roxane reafc

balcony so many years before,
bittersweet ending, she tells hi#
loves him just before hedies.
