By JEAN MORGAN Kansan Staff Writer Black Theatre Opens Tonight; Reflects 'New Consciousness' Bond said the plays indirectly refuted the stereotypic view of the Afro-American projected through the mass media which usually had occupied the American stage since the 18th century. The first play, "The First Militant Preacher," by Ben Caldwell, borrows its theme from the story of a black preacher with a black preacher who changes his view of the world after a visit from God, who in reality is a burglary caught in the city. The preacher comes from the preacher's house. ALL FOUR PLAYS tell it like it is and make no apologies," Bond said. "These black playwrights say to it. Here it is. If you dig it, o. K. If you don't dig it, o. K. This is the way I see The four plays, all by Afro-Americans, were written in the past years. They reflect recent black consciousness," Horace Bond, a doctoral candidate in the department of the plays, and Wednesday. Mike Maleon, Raymond second, year law student and resident of Oakland, Calif., built Buildings and Grounds built the rink, which was intended main A new ice skating rink or campus is west of Templin Hall. Students whose studies keep them from skating through school may wish to take a break from the tedium and ice skate at some of the numerous ponds and be found to be in the Lawrence area. Skating Areas Prepared The ice skating spot probably most familiar to University of Kansas students is Potter Lake. "It is open to anyone, but it is just not big enough for everyone to skate on." "Malone said." most familiar to University of Kansas students is Potter Lake. Henry Shenk, professor of physical education, said a member of the physical education department checked the ice on Potter Lake for texture and a minimum thickness of four inches before posting a sign indicating the ice is safe for skating. Off-campus skating spots also attract students. Fred DeVictor, assistant director of Lawrence Parks and Recreation Committee, said two "LARA'S OLE MAN," by Ed Bullins, presents a view of a very unusual ghetto family. The head of the house, Big Girl, is an art collector and holds the family together by sheer strength and grit. The action of the play centers on a visit from Jack, a middle class girl with no discovers, to his surprise, the identity of "Clara's ole man." "The Electronic Nigger," also be BULLins, involves many of the students abused. The action takes place in an adult education class for creative writing. A black writer is written on an unsuccessful website, not being successful at hand at teaching. His first go well until Mr. Carpenter enters, a walking computer gone berserk. What follows best THE FOURTH PLAY, "Happy Ending," by Douglass Turner Ward does end happily. The play centers on a man and two black homesteads to the people they work for. "It should." Bond said, "throw some interesting light on how the old and the new Americans view the race problem." Bond said that the keynote of "Four by Three in Black," was variety. There is no longer a monolithic, black creative voice expressing the views of all black people. The plays give four examples of black experience in America. Coggins said the club would continue to oppose the project Coggins said the vote came after a long panel discussion at the club's monthly meeting.

All proposed alternatives require a building alternative proposed by the club would build a levee along a line of ridges between Mud Creek and Rock Creek. size to Potter Lake. BOND SAID the plays are being performed in the round for two reasons. The practical reason is to facilitate quick movement of scenery between the plays and the production also want to give the audience an opportunity to look at the plays as well as people's responses in the audience. The responses of white people to the play. Bond said, would be different from the responses of black people. The Lawrence Sierra Club voted unanimously Tuesday night to oppose $1 million project at Engineer College to channel mud Creek. DeVictor said the pond in Central Park was flooded every three or four days to allow for smoother skating.

With this vote, the Sierra Club joins several other local organizations opposing the project. The project plan was formulated more than 18 years ago, as a means to protect North Lawrence.

Urban Service Fellowship Aimed at KU Minorities Universities were chosen for the program by the National Association of Schools of Public Affairs and Administration (NASPAA). Schools chosen demonstrate best in help in meeting the needs of minorities who seek education in public administration. The University of Kansas was famously selected to participate in a program designed for the program in public administration for graduate students from universities across the nation. By GINNIE MICKE Kansan Staff Writer The program was initiated in February 1971 for a three year period. The goal is to produce at least 100 black, Chicago, Puerto Rican and American Indian top level leaders and makers in urban public service. WYMAN SAID the KU two-year graduate program included a one-year internship in urban public service. He attributed Lawrence in this field as a factor in helping KU's reputation. Sherman Wyman, assistant professor of political science and director of the Masters in Public Administration (MPA), said KU administration was because of its reputation and emphasis on urban management.
