Under Texas A&M’s High School
Enrichment Program, qualified
Bryan-College Station high school
students can attend classes at A&M
while they still are enrolled in high
school.
The 12-year-old program, which
is linked to A&M’s Honors Program,
is coordinated by Scott Shafer, an
academic counselor at A&M.
The high school students may re
ceive high school credit only, or may
obtain joint high school-university
credit by actual admission to the
University.
Shafer said the qualifications for
admittance into the program include
a junior or senior classification, high
scores on standardized tests such as
the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT)
or the American College Test (ACT)
and good student performance in
regular high school classes.
The students must have at least a
90 percent high school average and
a score of 1,100 on the SAT or the
PSAT (Preliminary SAT) to be eligi
ble for the program.
Even if students don’t quite meet
the qualifications, they still may be
eligible for the program, Shafer
said.
“We rely heavily on the advice of
the high school counselors, since
they are in close contact with the stu
dents,” Shafer said. “If there is a stu
dent who the counselor feels is out
standing, that person is usually given
an opportunity to take a course,
even if their SAT isn’t quite at the
1,100 mark.”
Shafer said this semester there are
about 30 students involved in the
rram.
xe program was set up so high
school students can get a glimpse of
what college is like while taking com
parable courses in place of those
they normally would be taking at
their schools, Shafer said.
Felix Meyer, a senior at A&M
Consolidated High School, has been
involved with the program for al
most two years, including this past
summer.
“To me, it doesn’t matter what
grade I get, as long as I get a lot out
of the class,” he said.
The students pay no tuition be
cause they are still in high school.
However, they do purchase their
own books, attend all classes, turn in
assignments and take all exams just
as full-time A&M students do,
Shafer said.
“There is no cost involved in it at
all,” he said. “The high school
awards the credit, so the state tax
money is still paying for their educa
tion, in a sense. It’s just like taking a
course in high school, only they take
it here.”
After the student has applied to
the

the instructor or the head of the
progr;
department under which they will be
studying.
“This is usually done so the stu
dent can meet the person and dis
cuss various subject matter to be cov
ered in the class,” Shafer said. “The
instructor then has a chance to de
cide whether or not he feels the stu
dent can handle the course load.”
Shafer said there have been few
problems with the program’s accep
tance among the departments in
volved.
“Most of the departments love to
get the HSEP students,” he said.
“They feel it’s an investment in the
future. If they can get these high-
achieving students interested in
their program, and A&M in general,
there’s a good chance that they’ll
stick with us and get their degrees
here.”
About 50 percent of the students
who become involved with the pr

school graduation, he said.

AUSTIN (AP) — The Texas
prison system has become safer for
inmates since the state began isolat
ing the most dangerous prisoners, a
report by a national prisons expert
says.
The survey by James Austin of the
National Council on Crime and De
linquency says reported levels of in
mate violence within the general
population of the Texas Department
of Corrections are low.
“Homicide, suicide and escape
rates within TDC are similar or
lower than comparable state prison
systems,” the report says.
The department recently insti
tuted an inmate classification
housing system, which grew out of a
federal lawsuit over the safety and
proper housing of the state’s 39,000
prisoners.
Austin said under the classifica
tion system, the state works to put
prisoners in the least restrictive liv
ing quarters, using their behavior as
the primary determining factor.
Almost 40 percent of the prison
population is housed in low-security
dormitories.

Audience enjoys musical performance

By Karen Kroesche
At Ease Editor
It rained in the Rudder Audito
rium during the Tuesday night per
formance sponsored by the MSC
Opera and Performing Arts Society,
but nothing could dampen the mood
of audience members as they
watched a fun-loving performance
of a popular Broadway musical.
Besides, the rain was intentional

Singin’ in the Rain.”
In addition to solid acting talent,
the almost sold-out performance
featured some creative scenery and
staging, including a real rain shower
complete with puddles for the actors
to dance in.
The story, based on the MGM
film of the same name, centered
around the lives of Don Lockwood
and Lina Lamont (played by Jay
Cranford and Liz McCarthy, respec
tively), two silent-film stars who are
trying to make the transition to “tal
kies,” or movies with sound.
The audience also was treated to
fun song-and-dance number calitf
“Moses Supposes” that featured
tap-dancing talents of both Cra|
ford and Bushin.
Later, Cranford was joined
stage by an entourage of brighi I
costumed dancers for what Cosfl |
termed a “flash-forward." Till

But while the storyline was seti |

staging techniques used in “Singil j

present age. The theater gro
brought its own specially design

Jay Cranford performs on a wet stage in “Singin* in the Rain.”
The musical production featured
clips shown on a movie screen back
drop from the black-and-white mov
ies that star Lockwood and Lamont.
The effect worked brilliantly and en
hanced the believability of the story
line, which was complicated by Lock-
wood’s off-screen affair with Kathy
Selden, played by Elizabeth Ward.
There really was no one single
star of “Singin’ in the Rain,” but
Jimmy Bushin stole the show as
Cosmo Brown, Lockwood’s friend
and constant companion.
But the most advanced prod®
tion techniques can not stand alonT
on a stage; in Tuesday night’s shoj
they merely complemented the ac|
ing and dancing abilities of the pel]
formers. The excellent choreog
phy also served to enhance
performance.
Tuesday’s performance o|
“Singin’ in the Rain” was a ligl
