Actors' flaws mar Hindu play
Ry MARK L. OLSON
Reviewer
The stage of the William Inge Theatre in Murphy Hall is bathed in the color of crimson—the color of blood—and the air fragrant with the sweet smell of burning
incense
On that stage the story of centuries of Baburnādin tradition in collision with the steadfast will of one man unfolds in Babrudnādin Tagore's "Sacrifice," as adapted to the stage by K. Mustaqu Elahi, Bangur Ganjbadhe, graduate student.
The production, which will run through Saturday, combines the use of soft, crimson lighting and traditional Hindu dress to set time back a few centuries, to 116.
The temple of the dread goddess Kali of Tripura provides the setting for the ultimate conflict between the monarchy and the priestly authority of the High Priest Raghapati.
THE QUESTION OF obedience to the time-honored ritual of animal sacrifice to appease Kali, creator of all that exists in the universe, finds Gwinda and Rakta at odds.
The High Priest, portrayed magnificently by Quinn Cloepill, Shawnee junior, uses his sacred position among members of the king's court and family to provoke doubt about the wisdom of the king's proclamation barring animal sacrifice in the kingdom.
Cloeifiel uses the intimacy of the Inge theatre to its fullest through subtle changes in facial expression and backward glances that communicate more than pages of language and reveal
If there is a weak link in the play at all, it is Thomas Michael Kappler, Lawrence senior, who portrays the role of King Gwinda.
KAPPLER'S PERFORMANCE is not
KANSAN Review
Kappler is supplemented by the inoculent acting of Alcixa acutis achnita Gunavallu.
unlike recitation and is sorely void of the power and emotion needed to match the strength of Cheefill and to show the struggle between two such powerful figures.
Riser is as beautiful as one would expect of the wife of the king who dares to defy the gods. One can sense the torment she suffers as she struggles with her dependence upon the ritual of sacrifice in hopes of regaining her fertility.
Unfortunately, Rizer relies too much on the shiny sequins of her gown and not enough on her heels. She would expect the depth one would expect from the queen so troubled by her dilemma.
The renditions of Rizer and Kappier, nevertheless, are humbled by the tears of joy and heartbreak she laid. Anamaria Danferre, Kansas City, Kan., junior
DANDRIDRKE FIRST WNWS the hearts of the audience when she pleads for her pet go to be spared from asacrifice and shows that she deserves that victory right up to the
Aparna's story of her unrequited love for Jaising tugs at the heartstrings of any who have suffered as she has. It is too bad the queen are not equally as convincing.
As for Tom江申, Kansas City, Kan., junior, who in his role as Jasmin probably has the most important role in the play, a warrior before his performance could help.

An ALUMNI OPEN HOUSE will begin at 1 p.m. in the Governor's Room of the Union. COLLEGE AND SCHOOL WILL begin at 3 p.m. in the Centennial Room of the Union.
THE PART OF Jaising is not designed to peak until late in the play, but that finale is hindered by Swift's stiffness in the early part. Her movement, undoubtedly a case of cap caller cottings.
The play itself is afflicted by no such malady.

Elahi's direction shows an excellent balance of emotion, dialogue and special effects that could only be enhanced by a less literal interpretation of the English translation from its original Bengali, often considered one of the most beautiful languages in the world.

One budget for club disputed
The Student Senate International Club Subcommittee recommended last night to the Senate tithe the nine groups belonging to the International Club operate under separate budgets, not under one budget, as they have in the past.
In previous years the Senate allocated money to the International Club which, in turn, allocated money to the nine national groups belonging to it.
Club members said that that process allowed flexibility in funding because money could be taken away from one club member and give to another that needed more money.
The committee's recommendation stipulates that the Student Senate execute the recommendations.
funds to other groups before the money is soent.
CHRIS CALDWELL, committee member, said the new method would help the Senate know where the money was being spent and bring away the club's financial flexibility.
The committee also voted to recommend to the Senate that the nine groups plus the International Club itself be funded with $8,860. The original request totalled $8,860.
The Senate will vote on the recommendation at tonight's meeting if two-thirds of the members approve.
The two-thirds majority is needed because senators were not notified of the budget.
