Last obstacle cleared for Farrakhan visit
Promoters of the proposed March 28 campus appearance of Louis Farrakhan, controversial black separatist minister, yesterday cleared the final hurdle in gaining approval of the visit.
A subcommittee of the University Events Committee approved the use of Hoch Auditorium for Farakhan's speech, after verifying that adequate funds were available for security and other expenses such as training and building services, said Ann Eversole, director of the Organizations and Activities Center.
The University Events Committee approve the use of campus buildings for special events. Before spring break, the full committee approved Farrakhan's video on the university committee verify that sufficient funds were available for security and other expenses.
The subcommittee yesterday compared estimated expenses for security and other expenses with money raised by Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity and the Black Student Union for Farrakhan's appearance. The groups have raised $1,300 for security and other expenses.
Eversole said expenses for security, parking personnel and facilities operations services were estimated at $1,200. Estimates were for the maximum number of personnel, she said.
LaDale George, Black PanHellenic Council senator and a member of Alpha Phi Alpha and BSU, said Alpha Phi Alpha graduate chapters had donated $500 for security. Before spring break, Student Senate allocated the remaining $500 to the Black Student Union to cover security and other expenses.
Old guard welcomes new as AURH officers take over
the changing of the administrative guard dominated the Association of University Residence Halls' general assembly meeting last night.
At the first meeting since this month's AURH elections, officers who have served since March of last year turned over their seats to the new officers, who were elected March 4-5 in an uncontested race.
The new officers are: Andrew Blossom, president and Ellsworth Hall resident; Liz Walz, vice president and Hashing Hall resident; Margie Houston, secretary and Mike Pringle, treasurer and Oliver Hall resident. The officers will serve until March 1986.
Mark Unger, former AURH vice president, started the meeting by giving sturdy Jayhawks to all of the current AURH Executive Board members who were present at the meeting.
James Jeffley, former AURH president, welcomed the new officers by praising the accomplishments and the potential power of AURH.
"Don't let that go to waste. We have a voice." Jeffrey said.
ON THE RECORD
Blossom described what he hoped to accomplish in the coming year.
A CAR STEREO, amplifier, four speakers and a stick shift knob, with a total value of $1,087, were stolen sometime between Friday and Sunday in the 2800 block of Four Wheel Drive, Lawrence police said yesterday.
"I think you're going to find that James and I do things a little differently, but I don't think the results will be that different," Blossom said.
TWO CARS WERE broken into between 10 and 11 p.m. Monday at
Mike's Tavern, northeast of Lawrence at the junction of highways 24 and 32, the Douglas County sheriff's office said yesterday. A car stereo and two speakers, valued together at $130, were taken from one car. Items valued at $100, including a purse and a billfold, were taken from the other car.

Details enhanced plays,scholar says
Hamlet enters the stage. The audience hushes. He begins to utter Shakespeare's famous verse. But something's different — he's standing on his head.
Had Shakespeare instructed Hamlet's character to stand on his head, the words "To be or not to be" wout, he have meant something quite important.
These kind of dramatic details—the gestures, voice tones and costumes—tell the audience more about Shakespeare's plays than anything else, according to John Styan, an international scholar on drama and performance who has written 12 books.
STYAN, BORN IN London and educated at Cambridge University, holds the position of Franklin Bliss Snyder professor of English literature and theatre at Northwestern University in Evanston, Ill. He spoke last night as a part of the Humanities Lecture series.
"All of these little things grow
larger when perceived by the audience." Styan said last night in Woodruff Auditorium of the Kansas Union.
Styan entertained about 40 people with subtle British humor, and exemplified Shakespeare's detailed wit, with his own performance at the lectern.
Changing his voice tones, Styan matched the voices of Shakespeare's characters to demonstrate the importance of such detail.
These small details are the easiest to overlook. he said, yet scholars and
Styan said Shakespeare instinctively wrote every word as though he were the actor. He never forgot the actor's appearance and behavior.
audiences must pay attention to them to understand Shakespeare.
FOR EXAMPLE, IN "KING Lear," Shakespeare distinguishes the king's daughters by their voice quality. The first daughter speaks in long sentences that require many breaths. The second speaks crisp and cold with few words. The third daughter speaks in a low, soft voice.
Voices, eyes, lips and tears are all a part of the visual and verbal signals in speech.
"I'm suggesting we study a play in a different way," he said. Studying the plot, character and poetry have nothing to do with performance.
Shakespeare because he has not been appreciated in his own medium until the last 10 or 20 years."
"A lot of harm has been done to
the last 10 or 20 years. Shakespeare's works were not even considered literature until the 20th century, he said.
"We're just starting to understand Shakespeare as a man of the time, and I am thinking of him as a poet or great thinker anything but a playwright."
Shakespeare's plays have a quality that is rarely found outside of his writing. The unexpected always will occur in Shakespeare. Stylaan said.
Some property still lost to Templin resident
"If someone is hungry, you do not shove a cookbook in their hand and tell them to read page 208 about the meat and potatoes." Styan said.
That is why it is so important to get Shakespeare "off the page," he said. By performing it, the real Shakespeare emerges.

All of the belongings mistakenly taken last week by hall officials from the room of a Templin Hall resident have not been returned, the resident said yesterday.
The resident, Sean Myers, Miami sophomore, said some of his possessions were returned yesterday by the Templin house manager. But items worth more than $600 still are missing, he said.
On returning to Templin Sunday, Myers discovered that his room had been emptied, except for a drawer full of items.
Mike Oosterbuur, Templin resident director, said Kathryn McCree, the house manager, mistakenly thought Mvers' room was to be emptied and
had his things put into one of the hall's storage rooms.
MYERS SAID HE and Osterburh called McCree, who told them she would check the other storage room when she came to work Monday.
McCree declined to comment yesterday about the incident.
After finding his room emptied, Myers and Osterburk checked one of the storage rooms and didn't find anything. He called KU Police and filed a report.
It didn't take him long to realize that not all of his belongings had been returned, Myers said.
When he returned to his room yesterday, Myers said, three garbage bags full of his belongings had been left in his room.
"I could tell immediately. I knew exactly what was missing," Myers says.
Joe Willman, assistant director of the office of housing, said he requested that McCree compile a list of the items returned to Myers' room yesterday. He said he asked Myers to fi ll out what information what had not yet been returned.
A CASSETTE STEREO, an electric typewriter, clothes, books and school supplies are some of the things Myers said were still missing.
Willmon said, "We will attempt to determine if it was lost or not put down."
Originally, Myers had reported that about $1,000 worth of possessions were missing, including clothes, a stereo, a typewriter and shoes.
Myers said he talked to Willman, who told him he should file an incident report and talk to a lawyer. Myers said he planned to see a
lawyer this week to see about reimbursement for emotional distress and the inconvenience due to the delay.
Willimon said he would start a search for the missing belongings and then would begin a verification process with Myers.
The Kansas Legislature's Special Claims Against the State Committee would determine the value of Myers belongings if the situation progressed to that point, Willman said.
Myers said he planned to see a
"The Legislature has the responsibility to review the claim and make restitution according to their findings." Willom said.
J.J. Wilson, director of housing,
said that if Myers' possessions
couldn't be found, Myers first would
have to give proof that he had
the objects before anything more could
be done.
