The magic of valentines for children
Valentine's Day at the University of Kansas isn't just for lovers. The Spencer Museum of Art and the Natural History Museum have the day planned for children ages 5 through 13.
The Spencer Museum is conducting a workshop for children 8 through 13. The day will begin at 9:30 a.m. with a short tour through the museum and symbols associated with Valentine's Day.
A workshop will be held afterwards so the students can make Valentines in some of the cities.
and advanced registration is required. Parents are invited.
Children ages 5 through 7 can learn all about hearts in one of a continuing series of workshops sponsored by Museums Associates titled, "The Beat Goes On."
The two-session workshop has been closed since mid-December.
There is a $2 charge per child for materials
The workshop, taught by biology graduate student Barr Brase, will allow children to observe the heart rates, observe various mammal hearts, and dramatize the movement of the heart.

By PAUL STEPHEN LIM Contributing Reviewer
'Bernarda Alba' lacks passion, intensity
Perhaps it was because the icy wind outside Murphy Hall was penetrating and the temperature was ten degrees below zero, or because the 50-old bodies that braved the weather on opening night remained cold and mostly unresponsive, or because the fiery conflicts of 1938 that the play depicts no longer exist in 1981 (not even in Catholic Sainn, after Franco).
When the play begins, we see a crusty old servant munching on a sausage (do with that what you will), all the while giving us a heavy dose of exposition about how the only man in the house has just died and how they are now a household of women without men.
Lorca's larva is not弄, if not about heat. The summer sun not only beats down mercilessly on the roof of the house of Bernardina Alba, it also beats down the bodies of the house's nine female inhabitants.
Whatever the reason, the current production of "The House of Bernarda Alba" at the Inge Theatre never sizzles with true passion or intensity. Even the lighting design by Brian Palmer, which ought to be "hot," is merely "warm."
SHORTLY AFTER that, we witness a parade of 28 women, among them the 60-year-old Bernarda and from the funeral of Bernarda's second husband.
An aging Bernarda Alba (Felynda Wilson) faces the outside influences that threaten to destroy her well-structured household in "The House of Bernarda Alba" by Federico García Lorca.
The talk in the living room of Bernarda Alba soon turns to sex. Bernarda herself says to her guests: "Women in church shouldn't look at any man but the priest—and him only because he
wear skirts. To turn your head is to be looking for the warmth of corduroy."
Then there is Bernarda's 80-year-old mother, who has to be locked up because she has been threatening "to get married" so she can put her womb to good use again. Indeed, before the play begins, she must come down to the house in the middle of the night, claiming she has just given birth to, of all things, a lamb.
WHICH BRINGS us to the matter of the horse. In Act 3, when the evening meal is suddenly interrupted by heavy kicks against the walls, Bernarda explains with a knowing grin that the women are not the ones to be the new mares. But the new mares, like all the women in Bernarda's house, are locked in.
After word comes that the unmarried daughter of a neighbor has just given birth to a child, Bernarda runs to the window and shrieks, "Kill her! Kill her! Hot coats in the place where she is walking, when the cook of the walk, one Pepe el Romano, calls on this house-of horny women."
Tragedy, of course. But of the sort which seems almost laudable.
As for the right attitudes, of the five daughters, only Chryl Froelich acts as though she has any need for a man, and then only occasionally Michelle Stelting, who is costumed and made up to look like a foreshortened Charo, plays the youngest daughter as though she were a slut.
And the others? They all fan themselves excessively and drink gallons of water, but we never for one minute believe they are "in heat." If anything, they all seem like nice Kansas girls—perhaps a little worried about the frigid weather outside Murphy Hall.

Friday, Feb. 13 Apocalypse Now
Francis Coppole's ambitious, surreal journey into the "Heart of Darkness" in 1945 opened a new world for starting point, this is the story of Col. Walter Kurtz, a mysterious, brilliant officer of the Cambodia and the young captain sent with a group of quickly-hardened soldiers to Cambodia, an epic folly, the war effort, and yet some kind of great film; a visual, often exhilarating experience. Martin Hillard, an Englishman, will travel William, Frederic Forest as a crew member and Robert Duvel as the man who would have guarded the camp, and Marton Brando is the spiritually desolate Kurtz. Plus John McCarthy, the author, (148/10 m), color 3:30-7:00 10:00.
