THE TIGER
April 2, 1974
Editorially speaking
Wonder how your student government works? It works under a
weak political structure, that of a unicameral system, with a presi-
dency headed by Jerry King, a vice president, secretary, and club
representatives from recognized clubs and organizations.
Representatives and officers are allowed to vote, except students
who do not belong to an organization or club.
Under the present Constitution, representation and power to act
is limited. Representation from students at large would greatly
benefit the large number of students currently not represented,
and the concept that the student government is a social club
should be striken from record.
Under today’s democratic values, people have found the cour-
age to demand rights and to have a choice of how policies are
going to affect them.
Though the existing body is genuinely interested in everyone’s
well-being, nevertheless, some projects never get off the ground
because of a lack of involvement.
Since most organizations do not have that many members, here,
also, representation is cut to a minimum, leaving most policymak-
ing decisions to a handful of people. Things don’t get done with a
handful of individuals — most often, with no input. Activities re-
main scheduled and “pending.” Too many chiefs and too few
Indians!

On lesser matters
After profound thought, we (me and my typewriter) have decided
that the heavy, really heavy problems of life can be dealt with. It’s
the picky, minute, trivial, asinine, everyday hassles of life that make
living too much. Like Nixon taking prime time on television. Espe-
cially like TV commentators taking prime time telling us what
Nixon did/did not say.
Like putting a quarter in a stamp machine and getting fifteen
cents of stamps back.
Like hearing an adult intelligent woman--Sister Boniface of
Healy-Murphy Learning Center-described as a “little girl doing a
big job.” (That’s by Tom-such a big boy-on KITE radio.)
Like getting parking tickets. On-Campus or off.
Like walking into the Tech Bldg, and seeing the out-of-order sign
on the elevator. Again.
Like paying eleven cents for a cup of bad coffee in the SUB-and
spilling it. And having to pay for another cup.
Like spending a couple of hours on an essay and getting it back
with a D over an F grade.
Like waiting ten minutes for an instructor to begin class-and just
when you get your hopes up--the instructor shows up.
Like getting a convenient parking place-and then being blocked
in.
Like someone taking up two parking spaces.
Like people who continually gripe. (Who, me?)

In preview
Streaking
“Streaking Tonight with Feif-
fer and May” will be the next
production of the First Reper-
tory Theatre, artistic director
Donald Bayne has announced.
The performances opening
April 12 will feature the zany
humor of Elaine May and Jules
Feiffer.
Elaine May burst upon the
show business horizon in the
Fifties when she teamed with
Mike Nichols and romped
through comedy sketches in
night clubs from coast to coast.
Since parting ways with
Nichols, the actress-director
has been a comedy dynamo in
films, notably “A New Leaf” and
“The Heartbreak Kid,” and in
the theatre.
Her contribution to “Streak-
ing Tonight” is her one-act
comedy, “Adaptation.”
“Adaptation,” which swept
the New York drama awards
several years ago, is the life of a
typical American man played
out as a TV game show. Search-
ing for the game board’s elusive
Security Square, the contestant
chutes and iaddlers through
childhood, adolescence, mar-
riage, and fatherhood. It is
simultaneously a dizzy and dar-
ing view of TV and the man of
the street.
Jules Feiffer has risen from
an obscure cartoonist on an
obscure New York weekly
newspaper to one of the com-
edic signposts of our times.
Cartoonist and playwright, his
satirical observations currently
crackle on stage and in journals
throughout the land. Critics and
audiences have bravoed his
fantastic farces, “Little Mur-
ders,” “Oh, Calcutta,” and “The
White House Murder Case.”
His contribution to “Streak-
ing Tonight” is a handful of
revue sketches from “Feiffer’s
People,” including “The Un-
expurgated Memoirs of Ber-
nard Mergendeiler.”
Directing the comedies will
be Bayne and Doug Anderson.
Bayne's resume lists the
popular First Rep productions
of “Canterbury Tales” and
“Midsummer Night’s Dream.”
Most recently he staged the
murder mystery spoof “The
Real Inspector Hound.”
Anderson is a world traveler
who has directed plays in
Washington, D.C., Tucson, and
Memphis. A newcomer to the
San Antonio theatre, his acting
and directing credits include
“The Killing of Sister George,”
“Taming of the Shrew,” and
“Little Murders.”
“Streaking Tonight” will play
two weekends, April 12-13,
19-20, before skipping one
weekend for Fiesta and then
playing a final weekend on May
3 and 4.
First Repertory is located on
the Hemisfair. Tickets are $2.90
($1.90 for students and military)
and may be obtained at Joske’s
or by calling 224-5455.

.........—
Phyllis Johnson, along with plenty of other people, was thinking "spring
has sprung" thoughts. Then the weather changed, and so did The Tiger's
plans to take a photo of flowers and sun and such. For awhile, it looked as
though San Antonio might have a colder spring than winter.
