Where is the fire?
Four firetrucks including a snorkeltruck, a pumpertruck, two laddertrucks, the fire chief's car and four KU patrol cars answered a fire alarm at the language lab Monday. The alarm had been sounded due to a blown transformer and a broken fluorescent light which resulted in a small amount of smoke.
B-School prints paper
The School of Business has a newspaper. But the Grapevine is no common publication.
"The Establishment's own underground newspaper," as it has been called by its creator, prints articles of complaint, praise and rebuttals. Topics are not restricted, which means one issue may, and often does, contain articles on ecology and the appeal of democracy as well as on the problems with the core curriculum for the School of Business.
Robert Swinth, associate professor of business administration, originated the idea and now oversees the publication.
Swinth said, "The Grapevine was designed mainly as a channel of communication between members of the faculty, students and administration in the School of Business.
"The difficulty in this large group is getting people to speak out so everyone knows what others are thinking. It's especially
important when decisions are being made for the entire group."
Interested persons deposit contributions in a mailbox in Swinth's office. Secretaries then type stencils and print approximately 800 copies which are distributed in boxes set up on the first and third floors of Summerfield Hall. The Grapevine is published every two weeks.
"Most of the copies are picked up," Swinth said. "Usually the students find something interesting and provocative in the paper. People seem to be very verbal here and we haven't censored anything yet."
Although Swinth has had no problems with administrators at KU, a similar newspaper he edited at Carnegie Institute was stopped by the administration. He also began such a paper in a low-income district in Pittsburgh, Penn., which served as a ready means of communication between the community and city officials.
Free University expands
The Free University has a projected schedule of 40 classes for next semester, 11 more than the number offered this semester.
The Student Mobilization Committee has planned three of the classes. One of the suggested courses is "Vietnam: A Symptom of Western Decay."
"Next semester we want to try to get townspeople involved," said Ric Averill, Topeka sophomore and coordinator for the Free University.
The Free University is planning to release a catalog next semester which will include not only

classes offered by the Free University, but also all classes or "educational experiences" going on in the community, he said. This will include adult education courses and classes and discussions offered by the KU-Y and the Ballard Center.
The catalog should be available in early February, he said. It will be distributed in the Kansas Union, downtown and mailed to those on the Free University mailing list.
Anyone who knows of any classes in the community should contact Averill at the Canterbury House, VI 3-8202.
Averill said six more coordinators were needed for next semester.
A stage, lights and microphones may not always connote the roleplaying of the movies. Some of the same dramatic techniques are now being employed by the department of psychology to help train clinical psychologists and to correct the problems of disturbed persons.
New therapy aids KU psychologists
Research and development of psycho-drama as a tool of psychology have been furthered at KU by the completion of a special stage, complete with cameras, microphones and lights, in Fraser Hall. The University of Kansas is the only university in this area owning such equipment.
Psycho-drama was developed during the late 1920's and early 1930's by J. Moreno, who had previous training in dramatic techniques. Moreno believed enacting situations was a useful vehicle for developing spontaneity.
"Psycho-drama is not used only with disturbed individuals, 'patients,'" said Thomas Reilly, assistant professor of psychology who supervises graduate students training as clinical psychologists. "Most of the groups using our stage are students who intend to be clinical psychologists and this provides valuable experience for them.
KU prof exhibits art
A one-man show of 15 paintings by Robert N. Sudlow, associate professor of drawing and painting, is being featured through December in the Crown Room Gallery of Hallmark Cards, Inc., in Kansas City, Mo.
The gallery is on the balcony of the main restaurant in the Hallmark offices and plant at 25th and McGee Trafficway.

SUA Activities
Second session — Sunday, Dec. 14, 1:30-6:30 p.m.
First session — Saturday, Dec. 13, 12:30-5:30 p.m.
Actors in a psycho-dramatic situation are members of a psycho-therapy group and the therapist is called a director. Members of the group decide upon a particular problem concerning one or more individuals and then enact the situation through either improvisation or through the use of a definite script.
Money for the stage and lights was donated a year ago by the TKE Foundation; carpets and drapes were provided by University funds. The stage was installed in June, 1968 after about two years of planning and construction.
Club relives French Yule
Le Cercle Francais will hold its annual Christmas meeting at 7 p.m. Wednesday in the Kansas Union Big Eight Room.
Refreshments will be served. One of the featured food items will be a traditional French cake baked and decorated to resemble a Yule log.
The theme of the meeting will be "Christmas in French song, legend and art." A chorus of French faculty members and students will sing Christmas songs, a Christmas story and poems will be read by native French speakers, and the story of the nativity in French art objects will be shown on slides.
