Art displays spark international festival
The pottery and wall hangings from all over the world filled the Big Eight and Jayhawk rooms of the Kansas Union yesterday as the annual International Festival presented its annual International Festival.
The festival began with displays in the afternoon, was followed by a Banquet of Nations in the early evening and concluded with a natural program in Woodruff Auditorium.
A trip around the Big Eight and Jayhawk was like a quick trip around the world.
The China display included pottery,
sculptures and screens from
monumented China and Taiwan.
From China, it was about two steps to Thailand where wall hangings, tiny bronze dolls and miniature theatrical masks filled the floors of many hotels. It is also a central point on the Thai display.
Japanese students presented a taste of their culture through dramatization of a tea ceremony, demonstrations of origami, paper folding, and flower arranging.
The Indian display exhibited jewelry, fabrics, posters and pictures.
Persian rugs, screens, purses and wavings were included in the Iranian
African displays featured pictures and garments from many African countries. A round Liberian rug and a wall hanging with a circular hides hides hung above the center of the display.
The Brazilian display exhibited leather wood and wool carvings, and a Venezuelan leather bracelet.
Ballet dancers from the KU Ballet Dance Club danced around the center of the room.
The Barquet of Nations served main dishes from Thailand, Iran, the Arab nations and Brazil. side dishes from Africa, India, and desserts from India and Japan.
The evening's cultural performances included a karate performance by Japanese students, a Venezuelan jorro dance, Chinese folk songs, folk dances by the KU folk dance club and a movie and songs from Pakistan.
The performances also included a Thai traditional dance, an Iranian play about industry in Iran and a holy dance and folk dance from India.
Mike Fung, Hong Kong graduate student and president of the International Club, said the International Festival had been an event since the club was formed at KU in 1919.

Rogers...
From page one
AFTER SUCCESSFULLY crashing a light Spad in a propre-strawn man's land and smashing a German Gotha into a hillside, Grace broke his back while deliberately cracking up a Fokker immediately after takeoff.
"We had 10 cameras on him," Rogers remembered. "He got out of the plane, carried on his scene, and when they said cut," he collapsed."
Rogers also remembered that the actors and pilots spent much of their time on the ground at Kelly Airfield near San Antonio, waiting for the proper cloud conditions for takeoff. The pilots shot against a cumulus cloud background so the planes would be visible on film.
Once they waited 18 days for clouds
before final leaving to find clouds that had
been there.
When the actors were in the air, their aircraft stop with flying the plane and act as their stairway.
"THE CAMERA WAS on the cowling of the plane." Rogers recalled. "We had the batteries down by our feet, and the plug on our hands. When we got in position, got the planes right, the sun right, and the clouds right, then we'd shoot.
"I had to be the cameraman, director,
electrician—I had to be everything."
But on the ground, the director was king,
"Wings" gains much of its flavor from aid that Wellman received from the U. Army.
However, Rogers said, some of the Army generals didn't appreciate the way the director ordered them around.
"Wellman was a realist and he was tough," Rogers said. "He was a great director and was able to get billions of dollars for him." He also supplies for nothing from the Army.
"We called him 'Wild Bill.' But he'd burgu
un to death with her. And the girl was
going to call on to right up to look good."
Rogers' kindest praise was for his costar, Richard Arlen. "We gave our emotions. We cried and hugged and kissed each other. He was great to work with."
Then Rogers' reminiscing became more serious.

George Plimpton, the world's most famous frustured amateur, will speak at 8 tonight in Hoch Auditorium on "The Amateur vs. the Pro."
Plipmon's work with Sports Illustrated led him to several ventures into the world of professional sports. His first book, "Out of My League," is the story of Plipmon's brief play as a major league pitcher during the 1959 All-Star game in Yankee Stadium.
He is perhaps best known for "Paper Lion," a chronicle of three months in which Plimpton tired out as a free agent in the Detroit Lions summer training camp. His team ended with five plays from scrimmage during a Detroit preseason exhibition game.
Banquet Tickets are available at 2205 Strong for $3.50. Deadline Tuesday, April 6
"Paper Lion" was later made into a movie starring Alain Laido and Laura Hurt.
"I've always wondered to myself if I'd stayed on with Gary Cooper and Dick Arlen?" they stayed on and made almost "would I have stayed in acting like them?"
"I was a kid making $65 a week, with
Clara Row as my leading lady I was young,
I ran the show for a few years."
Walnut, Regionalist, Oread Rooms
PLIMPTON HAS also posed as a
Plimpton to lecture
But when he spoke again, his subject was "Wins" and his voice was a bit wistful.
He paused for a moment. In his life he had been a successful bandleader, a star who made 55 films and received 27,000 fan letters a month. He had married the beautiful Mary Pickford, a Hollywood marriage that has lasted since the '30s.
"But as I look back now I see I took a lot of choices."
