student. They will stay in dorm
rooms or apartments with their
hosts, go to classes and experience
the local nightlife.
Joseph Thomas, public rela
tions chairman for the Sister Uni
versities Association, says he thinks
the guests will find that things in
College Station are pretty similar
to things in Kazan.
"A typical day to us in our
dorms or apartments is similar to a
typical day for them. When I vis
ited the Soviet Union in May, I
found to some extent the freedom
the students had is similar to ours.
They have similar responsibilities,
we listen to similar music, and both
groups want to make the most of
their lives on a daily basis," he
says.
The Battalion will conduct a
follow-up interview with the visit
ing students to obtain some of their
later impressions of the United
States.

steal the show with their comic
relief.
On a technical note, the sound
effects, amplification and lighting
were unusually well done, far su
perior to another production of
"Les Miserables" I caught in Lon
don last year.
The only slight problems I had
with the play were Lynch rushing
some of the lyrics and some lines
being lost in the auditorium dur
ing some of the group numbers.
Ph.D
But these slight altercations are
overshadowed by Claude-Michel
Schonberg's powerful music and
lyrics coupled with brilliant, al
most flawless performances.
It may be awhile before this
musical makes it around again, so
it should not be missed. There are
still tickets available for all the per
formances, which includes 2 p.m.
matinees on Friday, Saturday and
Sunday as well as the regular per
formances at 8 p.m. tonight
through Sunday. The box office
number for Casa Manana is (817)
332-6221.
UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. (AP)
Fox Broadcasting Co., which usu
ally gloats about its reputation as a
brash and irreverent network, dis
played a different kind of attitude
at tnis summer's annual gathering
of television reporters:
Humility.
It's a special kind of humility,
a swaggering version evident more
in actions than in words.
But, for Fox, it was humility
nonetheless.
At last summer's gathering, a
record number of shows 10 were
wheeled out, only to go flat. This
time there are only four fresh se
ries slated so far for the fall sched
ule.
This time, there was talk about
being different, about debuting no
show before its time, about aggres
sively advertising its product in
stead of making more of it.
In short. Fox is talking quality
versus quantity. Quality is some
thing Fox could use. For the 1989
season. Fox received 26 Emmy
nominations. For the 1990 season,
it received 11.
