Jazz Band Is Part of Inge Festival
The sound of a jazz band can be heard over the KU campus. Yesterday it disturbed the cultured stillness of the Museum of Art, where visitors usually whisper. On Friday and Saturday nights it took over the courtry of Murphy Hall.
This is all intentional, part of "The World of William Inge" theatre festival. Performances by the "Gasilie Gang" were scheduled to add the flavor of jazz to the music.

The exhibit explores the questions of industrialization and growth in Kansas. Photographs were taken by James Enyear, curator of the photographic exhibit at the museum, and Terry Evan, Lawrence graduate student.
In a brief ceremony, the Experimental Theatre was renamed the "William Inge Memorial Theatre" in honor of the KU alumnus who died last year.
"The 'Gasite Gang' is one of the best jazz sounds in Lawrence. They can play old standards, like "Five-Foot-Two," or the "Beer Barrel Polka," or jazz straight from New Orleans. When they start improvising, some around stomps his feet or starts to dance.
The final two performances of "Picnic" July 23 and 26, will feature the "Gallilee" album.
"The Gaslit Gang" presented a concert in the Museum of Art at 3 p.m. yesterday. This was in conjunction with a photograph exhibition, "Kansas—A State in Transition." The exhibit is sponsored by the museum, the Institute of Public Affairs and
"The Gasilie Gang" was also featured at the dedication of the "William Inge Memorial Theatre" Friday night. Prior to the ceremony was a picnic in the Murphy cemetery, where cats sat under a striped canopy eating chicken by the light of Japanese lanterns.
Paul Gray, president of Jenkins Music, is the band director. Dave Neely, 115 Louisiana St., plays trumpet; Harold Keen, 3020 Iowa St., trombone; Tom Montgomery, Shawnee Mission senior; piano; Clyde Bowers, 303 W. 21st st., tenor saxophone; Teddy Asmus, Lawrence graduate student, drums; and Roger Sperecra, tuba.
"Picnic" Cast, Characters Intermission Entertaining

Fire Destroys Bar and Grill Near Campus
Fire early this morning gutted the Mount Oread Bar and Grill, 1241 Oread.
Maybe I like "Picnic" so much because I'm from Kansas. I don't know. But it is certainly a play that grabs your emotions at the same time it entertains.
The building was sold to the Endowment Association more than one year ago.
Spence would not speculate as to whether the cause of the fire was arson, but Henry said at least two fires caused by arsonists had destroyed two other buildings within the last year that were scheduled to be torn down by the Endowment Association.
The characters in "Picnic" are certainly realistic. Some might say they are not real.
According to Lawrence Fire Captain Larry Spence, the fire was reported about 10 a.m. Friday at the department's arrival, the fire was under control. Major damage to the temporary University buildings immediately south of the Overseas Bar & Grill was avoided, he said.
"I'm painfully aware of this," Henry said.
I know there really are tomboy girls enyving pretty sisters. There are school teachers frightened of being old maids. And although I wouldn't know from personal experience, there probably are girls who get tired of being "just pretty."

The best thing about the KU production of "Picnic" is the casting. The only cast member I couldn't entirely accept was Jack Deer River, Minn., senior, as the mother.
This role is difficult, and not likeable, and it didn't quite come across. The mother is the type who lives by the creed "What will the neighbors think?" I felt that in this production she was just a snooping, selfish old lady.

My favorite character was Helen Potts,

the characters are good. Sitting in the theatre, looking at the crummy little house, bearing the whistle of the train, one feels right in the action.
Most of the戏 is very funny, and some dialogue is obscured by laughter. Unfortunately, the audience sometimes laughed at the most touching scenes. One of the most pathetic scenes is when Rosemary, the schoolteacher, begs her "boyfriend" to marry her. He played the scene very nicely, and his heart went out to both.
There are so many good performances I can't mention them all. The audience especially seemed to like Rosemary's friends, "the girls," played by Baldwin Cyr, Baldwin graduate student, and Jan Rinka, Shorewood, Wis., special student.
It is also fun to see Hal, the muscular he

And even if you don't like the play, you can enjoy the intermission with friend chicken, dance music, games and the crowning of a queen.

Weltmer, who set up the state program of internal audit, said he knew of no major problems in the state's bookkeeping system, and he had no disagreements with the policies of the legislative post audit committee.

Tefft said the foundation was built in 1960 for
the annual National International
School.
The future of the conference is in doubt because of the financial considerations he said.
"I came with the idea of staying two years, and I've been here almost three," she said.
The conference, which is held at KU every two years, involves approximately 500 sculptors, critics, authorities and students. The sixth conference will be the eighth conference here last spring.
But to Eldon Tefft, professor of painting and sculpture, the snow represents an imminent threat.
Tefft said Friday that the area provided students with natural lighting and a well-lit environment.
"This year we had to divide the conference between the Union and the field house. We need better facilities or we're going to lose it," he said.
To many students, the area behind Bailey

Learn Relaxation through HYPNOSIS.
Teff explained that indoor sculpturing facilities must be provided with a ventilation system that sucks dust and chips away from the sculptor. Constant inhalation of silicon particles from stone cutting can cause silicosis, a condition similar to black lung.

Raro Opportunity Is FREE.
Tefft said that facilities were somewhat cramped but that a new building was being built.
Bailey's Sculpture Area Is an Outdoor Classroom
Besides sculpturing blocks, the outside facility has a primitive foundry used for casting metal. Tefft said that the foundry is one of the world's largest to make students familiar with the process.
W. Keith Weltmert resigned Friday as auditor for the Kansas Legislature. He will return to teaching at the University of Kansas this fall. Weltmert has been post auditor since the position was created in 1971.
"Some things can best be done in natural light—like carving stone," he said. "Students can see the effects of lighting on images and textures, and can curry glowing lights, for example, differ greatly."
Tefft said the area was used by most sculpture students at one time or another. He said the area was also important in which students could work on projects.

The University doesn't directly support the conference, he said. Though the program is almost self-supporting, the budget is extremely low, Teft said.
Tefft said continuation of the conference was important because KU was considered a national leader in sculpturing foundry and the university set up foundations all over the country.

The state's post auditor position is a four-year appointment. Weltner said this was not enough to insure the independence that he demanded, and he suggested tenure of 10 to 15 years.

He said that he hadn't been pressured while in office but that he had the security of always being able to return to KU. He said the next auditor might not have that security.
"In my opinion, the guy's got to be independent, he's got to be able to talk to the press. He can't be pressured," Weltner said.
