Directors, Students Differ Over Casting Procedures
By MARCIA CLIFTON
Kenyan Staff Writer
According to Tom Rea,
associate professor of speech and
drama and assistant director of
theatre at the University of
theater's fine, great and
exceptional performances" stem
from the once-a-seemester casting
Rea said recently that at the training of the semester open tap dance classes, she had students, not just speech and drama materials in being in one of her classes.
"We do 13 full productions during the year," Rea said, "and that requires a lot of actors, so we make sure they're math majors or anything else. We rely on the whole student body. It's the only way."
MICHAEL NASH, assistant instructor in speech and drama, was graduated from semester were auditioned for in September, but that this year Hamlet was included as well the rest of the early rehearsal requirements.
Nahad said on the first night the teacher read and then posted lists of callbacks for students they were interested in having in their classrooms.
"Actors and actresses are not randomly assigned." Nash said of the show's cast, "We back for all the shows or more 'han one, so they can choose."
Jack T. Brooking, professor of speech and drama, said these mass readings lasted for about a half hour as the students read, the directors listen to the students they've called back to three times this last two or three nights.
AFTER THE DIRECTORS have addressed to everyone read they wrote and work out any overlaps that might occur with actors and work out any overlaps that might occur with actors and work out any overlaps.
"In my opinion," Nash said, "there is no other way. From a director's standpoint, it means that you only should otherwise get all the good people, so this offers the advantage of having some chance of bargaining. Consequently, you get relatively balanced casts.
"ITS ADVANTAGEOUS for the student because he'll know exactly when he'll be tied up with the semester," Brooking said.
Brooking said another advantage for directing the whole team's pool." He, too, agreed that the first show of the season would get underway.
"I wish we could arrive at a better system for the first two nights, though." Brooking said. He said there were approximately eleven people who so it was a matter of seeing and hearing a lot of people.
"But there are lots and lots of callbacks." Brooking said.
Cynthia Appley, Akron, Ia., junior, is a student who also expressed concern over the first night of mass readings.
"It it's difficult to prove what you can do in just a two-minute talk," he said. "Backs," she said. "For FILM in Her Ear, the professor directing the play called back about who could read the words."
APPLEY SAID SINCE this was her first year here and since she'd come from a college that had used show-by-show casting, she were hired and especially concerned because "they didn't know me."
'Black Woman' To Be Subject Of 3-Day Event
The black women residents at Hashinger Hall are presenting a three-day program which starts with a visit to the Essence of a Black Woman."
At 7 tonight the Hashinger women and the black women residents will be braving black poetry. At 3:30 p.m. i.m. Kaiser, a Kansas City, Mo., high school author of "Soul Cookbook," will speak on the topic of the Minority Business Women. Kaiser will speak on the group of black high school girls in the Greater Kansas City area who prepare themselves for college.
Janice Blackmon, Kansas City junior and coordinator of the three-day program, said Friday that the idea for the program was originally from Hassinger, resident director, Tudy Shad.
Blackmom said Shay thought most of the white residents of Hashinger would like to know more about the black woman.

At 7:30 p.m. tuesday, there will be a panel discussion on the topic, "Is Women's Liberation Relevant to the Black Woman?"
"I think it should be done on a day when I don't think that toward the end of the year new people get the opportunity to get cast," Guerrra
Guerra she didn't think the directors could know exactly what they needed at the first of the year.
Some students agreed with the team's decision to keep the Park senior said it "was kick bad this year because almost everything was cast first
But on the whole, he thought it was a good idea.
"I PERSONALLY LIKE it because it is a way to get to know all the directors at once," Scott said.

was that "you get it all out of
the way when you are not busy
with the game."
The disadvantage is that you have very little opportunity to determine what show you want to be in the idea. Is I, guess, to be the director or not? The shows. The directors probably try to be fair to all the students in balancing the casts through the year, and I think that this will help to make a change that the student will get cast in something." Vesper said.
Earl Truellse, a member of the resident acting company and assistant instructor in speech and drama, also liked the plan to offer an extended experience it offered in knowing when he'd be busy during the year.

After hearing Thaw lecture on campus two weeks ago, she was intrigued enough to sign up for the seminar, she said, but she was skeptical about any benefits she might gain from the course.
"I was extremely skeptical throughout the course and I was told that was the reason I was not as successful as some of the other people, but it was far beyond what I expected to chance," the student said.

"I've been told that if I amildiable and confident in my ability to get to the point where I will no longer need glass," she said. "I can do that alone out of all my skills, it will be worth the $100 to me."
She said it was difficult for her to say exactly what she had gained from the course because she really understand how it works.

She said the results of her visualization had been verified by people who knew the people she was visualizing.

Indian Movement Seeks Aid Calls KU Apathetic to Cause
By WENDIE ELLIOTT Kansan Staff Writer
The University of Kansas hasn't done enough in the area of affairs, according to Carter, a resident and Ponca Indian cochairman of the Kansas Indian Movement (ALM).
Camp said AIM's goal now is to obtain office space at the University to distribute labor opportunities for education available to the Indian. He said the information should be made available, especially to the Indians in assisting Haskell Indian Junior College.
"KU is completely apathetic towards the plight of the American Indian who wants an emigrant Camp said he had talked with a number of people who were sympathetic, but they refused to do anything about the problem and said Mr. M came along and made noise.
HASKELL STUDENTS are not given enough information regarding their eligibility to go to KU, Camp said. They think that if they are from another state they cannot attend a Kansas college, Camp thought KU should be responsible for the correct information to them
Jerry Rogers, director of financial aid, said Friday, "I don't think it's our place to recruit—we have to talk to the students." Rogers said the office had only a limited staff to deal with students and they couldn't go to every prospective student in Kansas.
students in this office to enter KU as freshmen than ever before," he said.
Max Griffin, assistant director of admissions, said that the office had to give the responsibility of distributing information to the individual schools. Both men indicated that information was being available and loans had been available at Haskell since last fall.

The requests for visitation are usually made in the spring, he said.
Camp said he would meet with Chancellor E. Lawrence University Jr., and Oldfather, University Attorney, today to discuss the possibility of Haskell students being residents residing in Campbell said that if Chalmers agreed, they would draw up a proposal to present to the Board
Even if the Haskell students were considered Kansas residents, Camp said, they would have been severe financial difficulty.
There are a number of Haskell students, according to Camp, who would enroll at NU next fall. To do this, he obtained scholarships. Camp said he had contacted the Financial Aid Office and he was told that the奖学金 for the 1982-73 school year had already been allocated.
ROGERS SAID that the Haskell student would have been considered for scholarships if they had applied before the school, so that the office would still accept applications for government loans.
According to Griffin, it's probably a good thing the University doesn't have a definite program set up with Haskell.
"Now that something is getting started," he said, "we won't have to go through the process of an outdated program."
Camp said AIM was asking for the support of institutes attending the University. He said that they did not know what it could do and what it could do for them.
The AIM house, 124 Louisiana St. is open to any Indian American movement and in helping his brothers at Haskell, Camp said. The house is also open to any non-American interested in the movement.
ALM has been very effective so far, Camp said. The group has been involved in many issues and pushed for change, then they back to let the original people involve taken over, he said.
"WE HAVE AN ALLIANCE with young and old," Camp said. The two boys were fighting the young fighting as they should, he said. The young Indians, he said, go to the elderly members family for advice in most matters.
Camp said the middle-aged people had been so economically poor that they hadn't get involved. They don't want to endanger what financial security they have.
