KU Aids In Rebuilding Ancient Athenian Stoa
Kansas is one of 75 educational institutions who contribute to the American School for Classical Studies at Athens. The American School and a number of other contributors, both American and Greek, gave a total of $1 million to the project and this amount was matched by John D. Rockefeller, Jr.
The University is helping to rebuild the largest ancient building ever reconstructed in history, the Stoa of Attalos in Athens, Greece
The stoa, a building with an open front, will be formally dedicated Sept. 2 and will be opened to the public as a museum housing all the important discoveries recently made by the American School in the Agora, the ancient Athenian market place. The public building is called the Stoa of Attalos because Attalos H, King of Pergamon in Asia Minor from 159 to 138 B.C., was the building's donor.
Through its membership in the American School, KU has contributed to the reconstruction program for two years. James E. Seaver, associate professor of history and a member of the American School's managing committee, said membership gives KU faculty members and students the privileges of using the library and other facilities of the school when they are in Athens. Fellowships and scholarships for study in Athens also may be awarded students from member institutions.
SUA Dance Scheduled
Tom Downs and his combo will play for the dance in the Trail Room of the Student Union from 9 to 11 p. m. Wednesday.
Producing the play "The Tea House of the August Moon" on Okinawa was discussed by Glenn Fierce, Jr., Lawrence senior, at the Faculty Club dinner Sunday.
Student Discusses Play He Directed
Pierce, at the request of his commanding general who had seen the play in New York, directed it in 1953 while serving in the Air Force on Okinawa.
Pierce showed photographs of the production which took seven weeks of rehearsals. Both Air Force and civilian personnel were used. The play as given on Okinawa had a three-page spread in Life magazine.
William Conboy, assistant professor of speech, and Mrs. Conboy were hosts for the dinner.
Publisher To Speak At Coffee Hour
Dowdal Davis, general manager of the Kansas City Call, a weekly newspaper, will be guest speaker of the Political Coffee Hour at 4 p.m. Wednesday in the Browsing Room of the Student Union. "The Role of Minority Groups in Politics" will be his topic.
Mr. Davis is a 1936 graduate in Fine Arts from the University. He is past president of the Negro National Newspapers Publishers Association and is now on the board of directors.
