One man to sing opera
"The Threepenny Opera" (Die Dreigroschenoper"), a German comedy-opera by Bertold Brecht and Kurt Weill, will be presented in German at 3:30 p.m. Sunday in Swarthout Recital Hall.
The opera is presented by the Goethe Institute, and is sponsored by the German department and the School of Fine Arts. There is no admission charge and the public is invited.
The only performer in the opera is Gerhard Lenssen, a former chemical engineer who founded this one-man theater. He has given guest performances in many
cities around the world, including Amsterdam, Geneva, London, Dublin, Bagdad, Beirut, Copenhagen, Istanbul and cities in South America.
"The Threepenny Opera" opens on a market day scene in Soho, London, where a street singer is singing "The Ballad of Mackie the Knife."
The highwayman Mackie secretly marries Polly Peachum, daughter of the King of Beggers, and they sing "The Wedding Song of the Poorer People."
Polly's father discovers this and
Santa Fe discontinues two train runs here
The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway Co. has announced the discontinuation of its number 11 and 12 trains, servicing routes between Kansas City and Dallas.
Both trains ran through Lawrence on routes used by KU students.
Ted Lane, freight and passenger agent for the railroad in Lawrence, said students probably won't be affected by the terminations, as there will still be two trains daily to Chicago and other points most heavily traveled by vacationing students.
He noted that train 20, which
leaves at 9:35 p.m. daily, is the one most commonly used, and most students are in class on days before vacations at 11:00 a.m., no. 11's departure time.
The railroad announced the discontinuation shortly after the U.S. Post Office declared that all mail services by the railroad would end. The loss to Santa Fe is estimated at $25 million.
Lane said that services on the train would halt December 11, and all complaints and proposals should be sent to the Interstate Commerce Commission before December 10.
sends the police after Mackle, who flees to Highgate Moor.
Polly, her father and the chief of police sing "The Uncertainty of Human Circumstances," the First Threepenny Finale.
Polly's mother bribes the prostitute Jenny to betray Mackie, singing "The Ballad of Sexual Slavery." In a brothel in Wapping, Mackie is arrested by police after singing "The Ballad of the Fancy Man."
Mackie is thrown in jail. His wife and Lucie, daughter of the police chief, argue over which of them Mackie belongs to. They sing "The Jealousy Duet," and Polly's mother drags Polly away. Lucie releases Mackie from prison.
After several misadventures involving bribes and betrayals, Mackie ends up on the gallows with the rope around his neck. The Queen's Mounted Messenger bursts in and remands Mackie's release. At the Queen's command, Mackie is raised to nobility and given Marmorell Castle and a pension of 10,000 pounds.
In the last scene, everybody joins in the "Valedictory Hymn."
"Do not defend the Right with too much boldness
For Wrong is cold; its death is
sure though slow.
Remember all the darkness end the coldness
The world's a vale of misery and woe."

Archetypical.
The ritual of the Midnight Pudding Snack is well established in primitive societies. Since Shake-A Pudd'n does not require refrigeration, it lends itself to use in dormitories (surely one of the most primitive societies), thereby fulfilling this basic, instinctual human drive at the precise moment it arises.

The American Dream come true.
snake-A Pudd'dn combines healthful nutrition, bracing exercise and, above all, Good Clean Fun. An essential part of the Physical Fitness Program.
Powder and water are mixed in a cup, an obviously mammalian formation, seen on a deeper level as Mother. One shakes the cup, in a desperate but futile attempt to shake off the inhibiting Supergeo and free the primitive Id.

Truly Freudian.
Michael Media,
Dept. of Sociology
A true product of the Electric Age.
Shake-A Pudd'n has transformed a fragmented, time-consuming, mechanical task into an almost instantaneous, totally involving experience. Definitely "cool." Although equally good at room temperature.
Francine Factor, Dept.of History
Of tremendous historical significance. Had Shake-A Pudd'n been discovered in the 18th Century, the French Revolution would probably never have taken place when it did. Marie Antoinette's famous remark, "Let 'em eat cake," would no doubt have been transformed to "Let 'em eat puddn't," thereby appeasing the masses for at least another century.

Just put water and powder in the cup, snap the lid, shake for 30 seconds and let it set. In Chocolate, Vanilla, Butterscotch or Banana. Each package complete with four puddings, spoons, lids, and throwaway shakers.
