CRAZY KITCHEN
Chaos and clatter in a London restaurant's frantic kitchen will fill University Theatre Friday and Sunday nights. In "The Kitchen," a two-part drama by KU's Fall Repertory Company, one cook finally goes beserk. Another Fall Repertory play, "The Owners of the Keys," will be shown Saturday night.

You can go around the world this year if you want—by spending a few evenings in Murphy Hall.

Both plays will be presented again next weekend. "The Kitchen," to be shown Friday and Sunday; "The Owners of the Keys," on Saturday.

Catholic Bishops debate doctrine
VATICAN CITY—(UPI)—The Catholic Church's first Synod of Bishops, already restive over secrecy rules, heard Wednesday an Indian cardinal question whether it should discuss technical points of doctrine while ignoring "far more important questions" such as war and peace.
Sources quoted Valerian Cardinal Grecias, Archibishop of Bombay, as saying it was "difficult to see why" the church should risk "getting enmeshed in theological subtleties. There are far more important questions . . . not least of those being justice, development and peace and war."
