polis as chief counsel of his
Senate Rules and Administra
tion Committee.

attorney and as a member of
the House of Representatives
will be of tremendous assistance
to us."
~ In his post, Alexander's start
ing salary will be $17,309. The
committee has not had a chief
counsel in the past although
there was an official vacancy for
one on the committee.
Gordon F. Harrison, a vetrean

peare's greatest works. A tow
ering tragedy, it is a dramatic
triumph in the telling of a sim
ple story with stirring force.
First penormed in 1604, it has
remained a living drama over
the centuries and is as popular
today as it was in the play
wright's lifetime.
