Parents’ Week end, April 10-12, might appear to be just another traditional event for Aggie parents. Actually, it is a year-long effort involving stu dents, faculty and the community to increase public awareness about Texas A&M. Campus and community orga nizations volunteer to participate in the three-day event which cul minates Sunday with the Parents’ Weekend Awards Ceremony, Re nee Dix, Parents’ Weekend chair man, said. “The Parents’ Weekend Com mittee revolves around the par ents of the year,” she said. The 30- m e m her g r o u p, funded by Student Government, promotes the annual event with four subcommittees: operations, public relations, programming and parents of the year. Tne Parents of the Year Sub committee selects the A&M par ents of the year each February based on financial and time con tributions given to A&M, commu nity involvement and family life involvement, Dix said.

Aggie Players’ ‘Picnic’ starts Friday Aggie Players will conclude its 42nd season with its production of William Inge’s Pulitzer Pr ize- winning “Picnic.” The play opens Friday, and performances will In in Rudder Forum beginning at 8 p.m. each weekend night during April. “Picnic” is the story of four lonely women living in a small town in the southwest. Most of their summer days are spent lounging around in the backyards of their homes. The women are in search of an affair to put a little excitement in their lives. When a young, good-looking, former col lege football star comes to their town on Labor Day, the women begin to vie for his affections. Inge, Ixjrn in Independence, Kansas, in 1914, was music and drama critic for the St. Louis Star-Times when he saw a pro duction of Tennessee Williams’ “The Glass Menagerie.” Inge was so inspired by Williams' first play that he started writing plays him self. When Williams read Inge’s “Come Back Little Sheba,” he en couraged Inge to write plays for Broadway. After the success of “Come Back Little Shelia,” Inge went on to write “Picnic,” "Bus Stop” and “Dark at Top of the Stairs." He also wrote sceenplays for sen gr eat films, including theOsa winning "Splendor intheGra In 1973, Inge was founddes: the garage of his Holiyw home, the apparent victim of a tide.

Concern about security at the functioning U.S. Embassy, as well as the one under construction, is the most acute in years and allegations of Soviet espionage are causing the latest chill in superpower relations. Two former U.S. Marine embassy guards are accused of letting KGB secret service agents into sensitive areas in return for sexual favors from Soviet women. The new embassy is said to be riddled with listening devices. It has been built by Soviet workers and many sections were prefabri cated at plants away from the site. Soviet militia men patrol outside the red brick walls surrounding the complex. The new embassy is a square brick Campbell (Continued from page 5) lage, Campbell acquired a poster that now hangs above his desk. It ad vertises the “Festival de Musica de Camara” at San Miguel. The poster is tangible evidence of his affection for the village. “I love it,” he says, gesturing excit edly as he described San Miguel. “Its environment is wonderful for writ ing and working.” Many American artists and writ ers are drawn to the village because of its atmosphere, he says. It is a small, quiet town with nicely uniform architecture and inexpensive lodg- ings. San Miguel is about 60 miles northwest of Mexico City, a city that also has been important to Campbell and his work. “The city made me clarify what my hometown meant to me,” he ex plains. Campbell, originally from Corpus Christi, discusses the link between Mexico City and Corpus Christi in an essay, “The Origin of a Meta phor.” He felt isolated in both cities, al though for different reasons — his loneliness in Mexico crystallized his feelings about his hometown. monolith in the center of ll* plex.
