' - ' Arabian Nights A&.M students to perform in play Sunday Copy quality sogooc: you can’t tell it’s ■ a copy Clejn, clear, crisp copies fromoui new Kodak copier-duplicator Plenty of free parking, fast service, Try us ’oday! By JUNEPANG Reporter Imagine yourself in an ancient Arabian country. It’s a beautiful, starry night and a group of beautiful women and handsome men, dressed in colorful traditional costumes, are singing and dancing for you. On the horizon, you see castles and mosques standing in the darkness. At Sunday’s performance of “Ara bian Nights,” the audience will be caught up in this atmosphere and be introduced to the Arab culture, says Amer Ben-Ali, co-president of the Organization of Arab Students, one of the program’s sponsors. Chumpol Mireles, vice chairman of MSC International Program Committee, another sponsor of “A- rabian Nights,” says, ‘TVhenever we hear something from the Middle East, it’s terror and bad things. It’s sad. We want to bring something about their culture and their talent to students here.” Ben-Ali, who has directed talent shows for Lebanese students for the past two years during International Week, says this is going to be an “all Aggies” show, with both American and international students perform ing. The show’s theme is taken from the widely-known story of “One thousand and one tales,” Ben-Ali says. The story is about a king who, disappointed with his unfaithful ex- wife, decides he will never remarry. Instead, he chooses a girl every night and then kills her. One night he meets a bright girl named Schehere- zade. Scheherezade avoids death by tell ing the king a story each night. She always finishes the tale after the king falls asleep. In hopes of hearing the end of the story, the king keeps her another night. As soon as she fin ishes one storv. she starts another. After 1,001 tales, the king admits he has fallen in love with Schehere zade and marries her. Ben-Ali says the Arabian night is a night Scheherezade keeps the king entertained by introducing to him dancers and singers from different Arabian countries. Ben-Ali and two other members of Lebanese Students Association, Sana Hamade and Sadi Laham are directing the performance. An American student, Lori Brown, will play Scheherezade. The International Students Asso ciation is co-sponsoring the event, helping to sell tickets and working at the post-performance reception, said Claudio Carrasco, ISA presi dent. The performance begins at 7:30 p.m. in Rudder Theater. Admission is $1.50 for A&M students and $3 for non-students. Reagan: Summit was constructive (continued from page 1) governments are in power. “I tried to be very clear about where our sympathies lie; I believe I suc ceeded,” he-said. Reagan also said the two men dis cussed human rights, although he made no claim on progress towards winning the release of Soviet dissi dents. In his 20-minute speech, the pres ident also listed several agreements to emerge from the talks: • A new agreement for cultural exchanges between the United States and the Soviet Union, involv ing artists, students, teachers and others. • Decision to establish a new So viet consulate in New York and a new American facility in Kiev. This will give the United States a perma nent presence in the Ukraine for the first time in decades, Reagan said. • Accord, together with Japan, on a new Pacific air safety agreement. “What happened before must never be allowed to happen again,” Reagan said in reference to a Korean Air Lines jet shot down by the Soviets in 1983. • He said he looks forward to welcoming Gorbachev to the United States in 1986, and said he has ac cepted an invitation to Moscow for the following year.
