Guns By Tom Reinarts Reviewer The Aggie Players’ first produc tion of the school year is “Triple-A Plowed Under,” an entertaining and enlightening account of the plight of American farmers between 1917 and 1935. The final three performances of the play will take place today, Friday and Saturday at [plus tax. LES, PISTO , Sports Attic, Dr, 846-702 Review 8 p.m. in Rud der Forum. Ad mission to the play is $4 for Texas A&M students and $5 for the public. “Triple-A Plowed' Under” was first performed in 1936 by the Liv ing Newspaper, a part of the Federal Theater Project, which was created in 1935 to give unemployed theater workers jobs. The goal of the Living Newspaper was to give a historically accurate presentation of the news of the day. The major subject of “Triple-A Plowed Under” is the failure of the Agriculture Adjustment Act. The play demonstrates how the act did nothing to help the needy and only increased the income of the middle men of food production. In the production, Robbie Taylor plays a Woody Guthrie-type figure who is the voice of the Living News paper. He introduces the scenes and occasionally sings to help establish the desired mood. The rest of the cast is divided into i fc, S e rr three groups: the farmers, the wort- xsssories. Ne ers and the business people. Tensions between the groups de velop as the farmers get less fortheii products, the workers pay more fe their food and the business people get rich. The plays shows the varioui efforts of the farmers and workers to cope with and improve their posi tions and the efforts of the business people to justify theirs. Slides, voices on the loudspeakers and a variety of lighting techniques are used effectively to help re-creaie the era of the 1920s and 1930s. The cast members also help establish the period through realistic portrayals of the characters of the time. The play is fairly short, lasungi little over an hour. In that time wi| h Swedish Massage frame, however, in the spirit of the &FltneS' Living Newspaper, a wealth of infor- 1 mation is presented in nineteen >D.R6ne" v Fl scenes, which cover eighteen years “' l,k " of American history. The best scene of the perfor mance is “Hunger,” which presents the struggle of Dorothy Sherwood,s woman who killed her son because he was starving and she could not af ford to feed him. “Triple-A Plowed Under" is slightly unusual because of its rapid E ace and lack of classical structure, ut it is presented in a way that is both enjoyable and informative. ’ also bears some relevance to the plight of today’s farmers, which is not too different from that pre sented in the play.

The anguish associated with Jean Nunley’s horrifying discovery is ev erpresent, she told the Houston Post Tuesday. But there are no leads in the case and a $10,000 reward for information has produced nothing. “It is just like the person who did it vanished into thin air,” said Nun ley, 45, co-owner of a Channelview insurance business with her hus band, Leon. The body of Leah Nanette Nun ley, 22, was found Sept. 16, 1986 on the floor of her apartment, above the family business where she worked. Her car, which had been parked outside, was gone. The car was found, but the killer remains at large. For Nunley, that makes life agonizing. “I don’t know what to think any more; it is kind of like we are at an end,” she said. “There seems to be nothing left to do but just sit back and wait.” Harris County sheriffs investiga tors said the young woman knew her attacker because there was no sign of forced entry. A re-enactment of the crime was even televised three times by Crime Stoppers, but they did not receive a single call on the case. J.
