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

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.

Daughter’s mystery murder
leaves mother anguished
HOUSTON (AP) — More than a
year has passed since the September
morning when a woman found her
daughter dead in her apartment
with three bullets in her back.
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.
