MSC variety show set for Friday night
By Marcena Fadal
Reporter
‘Tve Gotta Be Me” is this year’s
theme for the MSC All-University
Variety Show to be held Friday at
7:30 p.m. in Rudder Audito
rium.
“The Variety Show is an Aggie
talent show performed during
Parent’s Weekend to get parents
there to see their kids,” Sharon
Beisert, chairman of the show,
said. “Tryouts were held in Feb
ruary and 50 acts tried out. Thir
teen made the cut and will per
form Friday.”
Some of the acts include a solo
vocalist, a tap dancer, a clog
dancer, a guitar duet and a band.
The MSC Variety Show began
in 1951 as the Aggie Talent
Show. The winner went on to the
Intercollegiate Talent Show in
which schools from a five-state re
gion competed in G. Rollie White.
This year’s master of ceremo
nies is comedian Eddy Strange.
“Strange has performed with
Robin Williams, Sam Kinison and
has been on ‘Dick Clark’s Keep on
Cruisin’,’ ‘The David Brenner
Show,’ ‘Comedy Tonight’ and
‘Show Time’s Laff-Off,’ ” Beisert
said. “He’s really funny.”
Special performances will be
given by last year’s Variety Show
winner, “Out of Tune,” and Miss
Texas A&M Stephanie Smith.
Tickets for the Variety Show
are available at the MSC Box Of
fice and at all Ticketron outlets at
a cost of $4 for students and $5
for others.
Symphonic band holds spring concert

The Texas A&M University
Symphonic Band will present its
Spring Concert Thursday at 8,
p.m. in Rudder Theater.
Admission to the concert will
be $2. The concert will consist of
a wide variety of music with selec
tions by J.S. Bach, Gustav Holst,
Dmitri Kabalevsky and others.
The band, which was formed
in 1973, is a non-credit organiza
tion composed mostly of A&M
students who are good musicians
and wish to keep playing their in
struments, Symphonic Band Di
rector Bill Dean said.
This year 24 members of the
the 80-member band were part of
the all-state band in high school.
Also, a member of the A&M fac
ulty is playing with the band this
year.
The band is composed of stu
dents from Minnesota, Virginia,
Oklahoma, Kansas, Kentucky
and Texas.
Students must audition to be
come a member of the symphonic
band. Students receive tryout
music at the general meeting held
at the first of each fall semester
and then have a week to practice
before auditions. Each fall, 30 to
40 new students audition, but the
band retains many of its members
from the previous year, Dean
said. The number of members
reauditioning has been increasing
each year.
After tryouts are completed,
the band begins practicing twice a
week. Rehearsals are Tuesday
and Thursday from 12:30 p.m. to
1:45 p.m.
This is the only time the band
practices together, Dean said. It’s
hard to call extra rehearsals be
cause of conflicts with the stu
dents’ schedules. He believes the
band is successful because of the
limited time it has to practice.
“The students say the band is
good therapy for them,” Dean
said. “They can get away from
their studies for awhile and relax
by playing their instruments.”
The band plays a wide variety
of music.
“We play heavier pieces at our
concerts, but we also play lighter
pieces because the audience en
joys it,” Dean said.
During the year the band gives
many concerts, Dean said. Be
sides playing at A&M the band
has played in Dallas, Houston
and Beaumont.

Inmates have
mixed feelings
about penalties
HUNTSVILLE (AP) — Robert
Drew and James Smith both are con
victed killers facing death next
month for slayings they say they did
not commit.
However, Drew has said Wednes
day he will fight his penalty, while
Smith insists he wants to die.
“New trial, commutation, pardon
— I’ll take any of them,” Drew said.
“I’ll never stop my fight as far as ap
peals. I’ll go as far as the law allows.”
Drew faces death May 4 for the
February 1983 stabbing death of Jef
frey Mays, a 17-year-old runaway
from Alabama. Court records
showed Drew stabbed Mays after a
fight along a freeway east of Hous
ton and allegedly took Mays’ wallet
and watch after the slaying.
Smith, meanwhile, has a May 11
lethal injection date for the March
1983 shooting death of Larry Rohus
during a robbery.
“I have no faith in the criminal
justice system,” Smith said. “It’s fool
hardy. I’ve spent enough time here.
It’s time to get out.
“Hey, give me a break! I refuse to
accept this. I believe to stay here year
after year is a waste. Nobody wants
you to die. That’s a terrible thing.”
Smith said he does not want to
end up like old-timers on death row
and tells anti-death penalty lawyers
who plead to help him to go else
where.
“I told them, ‘You’re wasting your
time. Other people can use your
help. Go talk to them,’ ” Smith said.
Other inmates and relatives also
have asked him to accept legal help.
“It’s just so much sentimental and
emotional nonsense,” Smith said.
Smith, who believes in voodoo,
worked in New Orleans as a tarot
card reader and was a taxi driver in
Houston at the time of his arrest. He
said he was confronted by two men
as he emerged from his cab, pulled a
gun on them and then was subdued
, by several other people before being
apprehended by police. His gun was
linked to the weapon used in the Ro
hus slaying.
Prosecutors maintained Smith was
fleeing the insurance office at the
time of his arrest.
“It’s not a death wish,” Smith said
of his desire to die. “They gave me a
sentence. I’m not a volunteer. You
weigh the pros and cons.”
Drew, who says his claim to fame
is that he’s the only Vermont native
on a death row anywhere, blames his
problems on alcoholism.
“My guts were in the bottom of a
beer can,” he said of the stabbing
that left Mays dead.
But Drew insisted the killer was
Earnest Purleauski, who is serving a
60-year term for the Mays slaying.
The three were among four men in
a car heading toward Houston from
Louisiana. Drew said he and Mays
were hitchhiking.
“I watched him stab him,” Drew
said of Purleauski. “I wasn’t about to
argue. I was drunk. I knew I was in
no condition to be playing games.”
