Experimental Drama Has Religious Theme
Controversy—a KU Experimental Theatre tradition—will be continued here this week.
"Between Two Thieves" by Warner Leroy will be presented by the Experimental Theatre in Swarthout Recital Hall tomorrow through Saturday.
The drama is concerned with a theme of equal controversy and explosiveness.
BASED ON THE RETRIAL OF Jesus of Nazareth by a traveling troupe of Jewish actors, it condemns modern viewpoints of religion.
Audiences have reacted violently to the play during past performances. In its New York run, several fist-fights occurred outside the theater after the play had ended.
In Cleveland, a man rushed to the stage and disrupted the production by disputing the actors' words. He was escorted from the theater by police.
THE CONFLICT of attitudes toward religion caused the violent reactions, George Bradley, Pittsburg graduate student and director of the play, says.
"The playwright shows up religion as it is viewed today," Bradley said. "Religion takes quite a beating."
The Experimental Theatre's tradi
tion of controversy goes back several years.
SINCE 1958, plays with such themes as the Apocryphal story of Judith, modern religion in the medieval context of a devout priest and the morality of suicide have been presented in the Experimental Theatre.
T. S. Eliot's "Murder in the Cathedral," a play dealing with separation of church and state in the 12th century was presented last year.
The theatre also did Robert Anderson's "Tea and Sympathy," which contains a frank treatment of premarital sexual intercourse.
Students may obtain tickets to "Between Two Thieves" for fifty cents.
Movie With a Message

Realizing; that moral suasion has not in the past successfully resolved the problem of housing discrimination in Lawrence.
Realizing: the dissatisfaction in the Negro community.
Realizing: that unrest in those discriminated against has reached a degree that mandates immediate action, therefore.
Be It Resolved: that the University of Kansas National Student Association Committee heartily endorses the stand taken by the Civil Rights Council, the People-to-People program, the KU-Y, the Westminster Center, the Wesley Foundation and the International Club, calling for the dropping of names of private renters from the University housing list who discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin or creed per se.

Woman Reports Attack Here
A KU sophomore woman has told campus police she was molested Monday night by an unidentified man in the zone N parking lot.
The woman, whose identity was not released, told police she was walking from Lewis Hall to Murphy Hall about 7 p.m. when the incident occurred.
She told police the assailant came up from behind her and grabbed her neck with one hand.
"Don't holler and you won't get hurt," were the man's only words, she reported.
The girl said she stood still and the man released her and walked off toward Allen Field House.
She described her assailant as being about 5-6, "about college age," and wearing a light trench coat.
Joe G. Skillman, chief of campus police said there probably were still many cars in the well-lighted lot at that hour but that apparently no other persons were around. He said it was the first such reported incident in more than a year.
