Page 4/The Battalion/Wednesday, February 5, 1986 2 A&M students win top honors in acting trials By SUE BROWNFIELD Reporter Two Texas A&M students, Gwen dolyn Pesek and Ryan Welsch, were selected as finalists in a regional act ing competition in Fort Worth. It (the competition) requires quite a bit of preparation and devotion,” said Mary Ann Mitchell, assistant professor of theater arts and the stu dents’ coach. Mitchell said the panel of judges at the competition consisted of pro fessional actors, directors, and pro fessors. She said the competition is struc tured like a professional audition, in which the actors must perform re peatedly. “The students had to find the per sonal stamina to do it (their perfor mances) again and again, and do it well each time,” she said. Pesek was chosen by her peers to compete in the competition. She then chose Welsh as her partner. Mitchell said the nominees have to perform a monologue and a scene from a play or musical with their partners. “They use partners to show how well they can work with another ac tor in the context of a scene,” she said. Mitchell said each year A&M’s ac tors have progressed in the competi tion. “We’ve entered every year and it’s one step up each year,” she said. “It (Pesek’s advancement to the finals) reflects the achievement of the act ing at A&M.” Pesek said performers at A&M are getting better every year. “We are at the base,” Pesek said. “We’re building, we have the facili ties, and we’re drawing in the peo ple.” Pesek said she was surprised when she found out she had made it to the finals. “I was very pleased because there were so many actors competing,” she said. “But once I reached the finals my only goal was to do well.” Mitchell said auditioning has its own unwritten guidelines and rules that actors must follow. She said judges may have precon ceived notions about popular material, so the actors chose more obscure pieces. But the actors try to select con temporary material because it high lights the actor rather than the char acter, she said. She said a mistake in auditioning is using a play that has been released as a film. Pesek said the competition helps students meet some of the “higher- ups” in the acting profession and es tablish connections. Welsch, her partner, also said the competition is good for student per formers. “It is a good way to be seen,” he said. “A couple of people ap proached me and asked me to sub mit a resume.” Both Pesek and Welsch plan to continue with their acting careers af ter graduating. Pesek said she doesn’t mind wait ing for her big break, even if it doesn’t come until she’s 50. “If you pursue it (acting), it’s inev itable you’ll get where you want to go,” she said. 10Texas legislators to run unopposed for U.S. Congress Associated Press WASHINGTON — With the fil ing deadline for the May primaries past, only one of Texas’ 2/ federal lawmakers did not file for re-elec tion, and of that group 10 will run unopposed. Tom Loeffler, R-Hunt, was the single lawmaker that didn’t file for re-election to the U.S. Congress by the Monday deadline. And while only eight Democrats and two Republicans are running unopposed, the remaining incum bents are considered favorites in their races. But the final day of filing did pro duce some surprises, with some can didates bowing out of races and oth ers making last-minute decisions to seek office. Former state Sen. Pete Snelson of Midland entered the 10-candidate free-for-all to replace Loeffler, a gu bernatorial candidate. Snelson, a conservative who held his Senate seat for 16 years, is considered the only Democrat capable of recaptur ing that district. Former Rep. Bob Krueger of New Braunfels decided against running for one of two congressional seats or the Texas Railroad Commission. “I didn’t feel that was in my heart what I wanted to do,” Krueger said. Democrats are counting on Pete Geren, a former aide to Sen. Lloyd Bentsen who is challenging Rep. Joe Barton, R-Ennis, and Columbus at torney Greg Laughlin, who is hop ing to unseat Rep. Mac Sweeny, R- Wharton. The two Democratic freshmen representatives, Jim Chapman of Sulphur Springs and Albert Busta- mente of San Antonio so far are unopposed. Rep. Steve Bartlett, R-Dallas, drew no rivals while Rep. Martin Frost, D-Dallas, faces token opposi tion from Democrat Gardell More- head and Republicans Bob Burke of Irving and Scott Kurth of Duncan ville. Rep. Dick Armey, a freshman Re publican from Denton, drew more opponents than any other incum bent when three Democrats and two Republicans lined up to challenge him. Armey, the only GOP congress man to draw Republican primary opposition, will face Bill Friday, 45, a Denton businessman, and Clyde Riddle Jr., 63, a follower of Lyndon LaRouche. Armey’s Democratic challengers are David Smith, 33, an office man ager from Allen; James Henry 43, a Grand Prairie boot salesman; and former state Rep. George Richard son, 56, of Keller.

Mark White has received 88 filled “specimen bottles” from teachers who say they are upset at his suggestion that some state em ployees be tested for drug use, his press secretary said Tuesday. Press secretary Ann Arnold said 87 of the vials were in two packages BBSSBSSSS=SS= bearing the name I.M. Madd and a Dallas postal box. One other vial came from the West Texas town of Alpine, she said. The letter accompanying the 87 specimens from Dallas said, “We, as Texas educators, bitterly resent Gov. Mark White’s suggestion that we be tested for drug use. We have already been unfairly stigmatized as in<- competent, and now we are being classified as criminals who violate the statutes dealing with illegal drugs. “We are asking for a public apol ogy from Gov. White and a withdra wal of his suggestion in order to pre vent more harm being done to public education in Texas ter said. Arnold said White ^1 with a form letter sentT who asked about his coral drug testing. “I believe that Texans! right to a drug-free wortf! governor’s letter said.
