LeeRoy Caffey, Rob Hope: A Pair of VIPs

There were a lot of important people in Houston during the week preceding the Rice-A&M football game. Among the VIP’s were Bob Hope, Mickey Mantle and Jerry Lewis, all who performed at half-time of the Owlet-Fish clash.

Coach Jim Myers related a weekend “story” about one of the Aggie football players and Bob Hope.

It seems that Lee Roy Caffey was coming down the hotel elevator after the game and on the same elevator was Bob Hope.

Caffey said, “Hello, Mr. Hope,” and Mr. Hope replied, “Well, hellos Lee Roy, how’s Sam’s leg?” (Sam Byer missed the Rice game with a Charley horse.)

Lee Roy was quite astounded as well as everyone else on the elevator.

One thing about the little incident, it shows that important people know other important people.

Checks Accepted Past Deadline

Hope still remains for the meeting of the $15,150 goal in the College Station United Chest Drive Chairman Dale F. Leipper declared last night as he viewed today’s final contribution proceedings.

As of Friday, the chairman said, a total of $11,085 was in the group’s coffers. A good amount was collected over the weekend, Leipper added, but figures have not as of yet been tabulated.

Will Be AcceptedEven though 5 p. m. this afternoon is the official dead

line, contribution checks will be accepted as long as all citizens have not been heard from, Leipper added.

These late contributions4' may be mailed to Mike Krenit- sky, the drive treasurer, at Cushing Memorial Library onthe A&M campus.

Leipper said he was still fairly optimistic the goal will be reached because of the large amount of citizens not yet heard from. He added nearly 200 members .of one faculty department alone have not contacted the organization.

College Staff LeadsAccording tQ the figures re

leased Friday, the college staff leads in contributions with a total of $8,708. The goal from the staff members was set at the beginning of the drive at around $10,000, 90 per cent of the total of $12,297 collected in last year’s drive.

Ag Players "‘Winterset” Mixes Pathos With HateBy TOMMY HOLBEIN

Opening performance of “Win- terset” in Guion Hall by the Aggie Players was staged in typical excellence last night.

The great American tragedy by Maxwell Anderson reflected the two-month preparation of the Players, and the magnitude of the play was felt by the audience in a higher than normal degree.

Theme for the production was a young man’s yearning to avenge the execution of his innocent father, convicted of a murder he didn’t commit.

A seige of conflict develops as Mio, son of the falsely convicted man, lands in the home of Garth, a member of the trio committing the murder 14 years hence.

High-pitched emotions emerge when Mio falls in love with Garth’s sister, Mariamne, preventing him from exposing her bi’other.

Written in free verse, “Winter- set” combines the base language and conversation of its setting, an alley and basement apartment near a large New York bridge, with heights of poetic beauty from Mio.

In his role as Mio, David White filled his acting with full character; Marlene Rushing performed in like accord as Miriamne, pathetic figure of a girl with no beliefs.

Equally well done were the roles of Trock and Shadow, played by John Paxson and Richard Reiser. These two provided the sinister element for the play, in the parts of two murderers holding Garth under their power through his implication in the crime as a witness.

A special tribute goes to John Gladwell, playing- Judge Gaunt, the magistrate responsible for the conviction of Mio’s father. Driven

insane by the guilt that rests within him, Judge Gaunt rambles many lines of legal jargon to all who will listen, trying to prove his stand on the case.

Gladwell’s handling of the role was done in professional caliber, and remarkably well for opening night.

Bouquets should go to the entire cast, for each was totally in
