Reirut officer takes over
BEIRUT, Lebanon—A Lebanese army officer declared yesterday he was seizing power in the name of the armed forces. He called for the resignations of the Christian president and Moslem premier within 24 hours.
Brig Aiz Azadab said over state-run television that he was the leader of a "correctic movement" formed by the armed forces command to halt a rebellion of Moslem army troops and the growing danger of a new round in the Lebanese civil war. He said he would not rule personally.

Bennett against jail site
TOPEKA-Gov. Robert F. Bennett said yesterday he hoped the state of Missouri located a medium-security prison on land not connected with Kansas.

The governor said he agreed with a Missouri official who said that Missouri apparently had the alternatives of changing the prison's proposed location or coming up with a way to transport prisoners to and from the facility without crossing Kansas territory.
Air Force plans cutback
KANSAS City, Mo. — A proposed Air Force cutback of Richards-Gebur Air Force Base near Kansas City would reduce it to primarily a reservoir center, an airbase and a training facility.
Thomas C. Reed, secretary of the Air Force, announced plans yesterday to reduce the base by a total of 4,946 military and civilian employees. Richards-Gebau now has 4,340 employees. The base is one of two to undergo significant reduction in its personnel size. Three others are being closed completely.
The plan is the sixth offered, and proposes the greatest cutback in services to date. Previous proposals had suggested a personnel transfer total of 3,713.
Richards-Gebur now serves 1,373 reservists. Civilians would be contracted to maintain the base for reserve purposes.
The current proposal would transfer 2,389 military personnel and 1,677 civilians. Of those, 983 military positions and 850 civilian positions would be totally

Convention strife feared
*NANSAS CITY, Mo.—If action isn't taken soon to establish a campfire requested by possible demonstrators计划 to attend the Republican National Convention in August, violence could result, a lawyer representing the group said Wednesday. Douglas Matters, attorney for the Kansas City Convention Coaltion, made the statement.*
"Unless the city can stand up and be counted, so everyone knows what is going to happen, there is going to be a lot of trouble." Merritt said.
Grandview Police Chief Robert Williams, another panelist, said he believed demonstrators weren't coming with violence on their minds. He said he was worried that the police were not responding.

Women in theater . . .
"Slow Dance," compared to the same production directed by a man.
"She could have been anyone because her personality wasn't allowed to come
"There are three characters in the play and 'Rosie' is the only female," she said. "When directed by a man, 'Rosie' was directed by her plot—the plot she brought forth plot points only."
"I HAVE KNOWN many Rosies, and I believe her character was written as a certain kind of woman with a certain kind of specific concerns or problems as a women."
Blair said she thought a director's insight transcended being male or female.
"A woman director might be more aware of certain characteristics in the women's role—especially if she's doing some of the newer feminist plays," she said. "But I never really do." A director intends differs with each director because each director is a different person."
Abrams said another problem affecting the way women were portrayed on stage was the way plays were chosen by the faculty each season.
'THERE ARE more women in the
theater department than men," she said,
"The faculty ought to cater to this and avoid choosing a season lacking in challenging female roles.
"They aren't showing the amount of female talent they have. They're alienating them."

The annual Festival of Arts won't continue in its present form, the SUA Board decided Tuesday.
SUA to change Festival
Mike Miller, activities adviser for the Kansas Union, said yesterday the board had
questioned the concept of the festival and had looked at its five-year history.
The Board didn't think that the festival in its present form was workable, he said, but the decision doesn't mean there won't be similar programs in the future.
