A&M prepares for Parents’ Weekend
On the surface. 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.
Every nominated parent must
have a child enrolled at A&M, she
said.
In most cases, children nomi
nate their parents for this award,
she said.
“The parents’ children must
obtain five to 10 letters ofr«i

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.

“who is involved in espionage,” pre
sumably a reference to the United
States and other Western countries.
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

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

He felt isolated in both cities, al
though for different reasons — his
loneliness in Mexico crystallized his
