In Advance Aggie Players present musical comedy By Richard Tijerina Reporter The Aggie Players are present ing the musical comedy, “The Robber Bridegroom,” in a five- day run in Rudder Theater at 8 p.m. today through Sunday. The show is adapted from the novella by Eudora Welty, and features A&M students in its cast. Based on a folktale of the American South, the play’s com bination of improvisational the ater and folk music is complete with romantic pursuits, magic spells, misunderstandings and mistaken identities that provide an evening of musical adventure. The show takes place in a Mis sissippi area called the Natchez Trace. In a story of love and mis adventure during a rough-and- ready period in American his tory, outlaws roam the Trace in pursuit of gold and beauty. Heading the cast of students in the play is sophomore Rudy Cor dova in the title role of Jamie, the robber bridegroom, and junior Suzanne Martin as Rosamund. Tickets for “The Robber Bridegroom” are $7.50 for the general public and $5.50 for stu dents. To purchase or reserve tickets, contact the MSC Box Of fice in Rudder Tower at 845- 1234. Amnesty centers reach busy peak as deadline nears DALLAS (AP) — Amnesty appli cants are jamming legalization cen ters across the state as the program’s deadline looms a week away amid immigration officials’ warning not to count on a proposed extension of the cutoff date. “It would be sending the wrong signal that would encourage people not now in the country to enter the INS will grant legal status to centenarian QUEMADO (AP) — A 102-year- old woman who once served as an in formant for Mexican forces fighting Pancho Villa is unable to get to a le galization center to apply for am nesty, so immigration officials said Monday they’ll go to her. Francisca Rivera de Chavez, who will turn 103 May 8, is the state’s old est amnesty applicant, said John Ar- mistad, spokesman for the Immigra tion and Naturalization Office in Dallas. The INS in February restored le gal status to Clara Escobedo Marti nez, 98, whose green card was canceled by immigration officials in 1962. Since then, Escobedo has been making television commercials for the INS to urge other aliens who qualify to apply for amnesty. Armistad said San Antonio immi gration officials will be in this border city about 90 miles north of Laredo Tuesday to present Chavez with le gal status at 1:30 p.m. “She’s still very alert, but she can’t get to a legalization office,” Armitstad said. Under new immigration laws, aliens who have lived continuously in the United States since 1982 are eligible for amnesty and later cit izenship. country,” John Roark, an Immigra tion and Naturalization Service spokesman in Dallas said Tuesday of an extension of the May 4 deadline that has passed the U.S. House of Representatives. “INS is concerned that this mis guided legislation (the proposed ex tension) will create confusion among potential applicants and cause them to delay filing beyond the May 4 cut off date,” immigration officials said in a statement. The INS is opposed to the propo sal extending the amnesty deadline to Nov. 30 despite a stepped up number of applicants for amnesty as the deadline approaches. “These applicants are just like anyone else when it comes to pro crastinating, just like you and I on tax day,” Roark said. In Arlington, 739 people applied at a local legalization center Satur day, and 913 applied the day before, Roark said. “That’s maybe half the people who were there,” Roark said. The center in Houston, the state’s busiest, accepted 1,143 applications and perhaps twice as many custom ers last Saturday, Roark said. Others not counted as applicants in the figures picked up forms and cards to apply, he said. The Arlington center, which ex pected to receive 60,000 to 80,000 applications, had received 60,878 through Saturday, 10,000 of which were submitted in the last three weeks, officials said. Nationwide, officials originally projected up to 4 million undocu mented aliens would apply. That es timate fell to 2 million. So far, the INS has received 1.2 million general amnesty applications and 400,000 applications under the more liberal seasonal agricultural worker pro gram. Local offices have been given au thority to remain open past regular hours, and the INS has ordered its offices across the South to remain open all next weekend and until the Wednesday deadline.
