Greco Dance Troupe To Appear Nov.16
The Spanish dancer, Jose Greco, and his troupe will appear in Hoch Auditorium at 8:20 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 16. The program is sponsored by the KU Concert Course. Student ID cards will admit.
The company has become well-known in this country. They have appeared on television on Ed Sullivan's "Toast of the Town" and "Omnibus." They have danced at the Waldorf-Astoria, the Sahara Hotel in Las Vegas, the Hollywood Bowl and the Statler in Los Angeles.
Mr. Greco, a naturalized American, was born in Montorio, Italy. His first attempts at dancing were to copy the style of gypsy dancers who came to his town. When he was seven, he was taken to Seville, Spain, and there watched the techniques of the Spanish dancers.
He came to New York with his parents when he was ten, and he continued to study dancing. When he was 14 he left high school to study art. Spanish dancing was his first love, however, and he continued his lessons.
His first professional appearance was at New York's Hippodrome in "Carmen."
In 1948 Greco was choreographet for a Spanish dance sequence in a movie. In Paris the film ran for six months, the audience often demanding the film be rerun at the part containing the ballet.
Tryouts Slated For 'Drunkard'
A melodrama, "The Drunkard." by William H. Smith, will be presented by the University Players Dec. 14-17 in Studio Theater in Green Hall. Teach Tecghraeber, Emporia sophomore, will direct the play with a cast of 22.

Persons who are not members of the University Players who are interested in working on stage crews should call Teichgraeber, VI 3-5770, for information.
'Dragon' Debut Tonight
Sally Six, Lawrence graduate student, is concerned about a dragon—a colorful green and yellow dragon that has a short, stubby tail and tiny wings.
The show opens today in Studio Theater, Green Hall.
He is "Small One," and he has a role in "The Land of the Dragon," the play Miss Six is directing.
Miss Six, assisted by Nat Eek and Charles Dodrill, instructors of speech and drama, has designed costumes and directed the eleven University students who are in the cast.
The play is a Chinese fairy tale written by an American, Madge Miller. It's the story of the hero, Road Wanderer, and his dragon friend, of Jade Pure, the heroine, and her wicked aunt, Precious Harp.
"This is my first experience in directing college students in a children's theater play," Miss Six said. "I think the cast has had fun in 'letting themselves go' in acting their roles."
Jade Pure will love only a man who owns a dragon, so "Small One" helps Road Wanderer in gaining her love.
Miss Six directed "Huckleberry Finn" given in the summer of 1954 by a cast of local children.
"It's interesting to work with children. They have vivid imaginations and seem to know what the audience wants to see," she explained.
Because she enjoys children's theater work, Miss Six plans to follow that pursuit after college.
"There's good opportunity in the midwest in children's theater," she said. "Many of the larger, more progressive schools hire a creative dramatics supervisor.
"Teachers have found that children, when acting, learn to work together. And by using dramatics, a teacher can correlate music, dancing, art and literature. When the children design the sets, they use their knowledge of mathematics and manual training. Even science is brought in by designing sound and lighting effects."
For those reasons, she says children's theater work in schools is becoming more widespread.
Miss Six has received much of her interest in this line from her mother, Mrs. Deal Six, who teaches dramatics at Lawrence Junior High.

ASC Votes To Continue Class Officers
In other action the Senate approved the 1955-56 ASC budget, accepted three new senators, and voted to ask the foreign students to send a voting representative to the ASC meetings.
Underclass officers will remain. The All Student Council Senate voted last night to continue freshman, sophomore and junior officers.
The approval of underclass officers followed a discussion of the value of such positions. George Sheldon, ASC president, Salina junior, said a discussion will be held later of giving the underclass officers more responsibility.
Discussion was held on student parking in the Student Union guest parking area. Suggestions were referred to the parking committee for further action. During the discussion, Ralph W. Varnum, Kansas City, Mo., sophomore, explained that the guest parking area was part of the administration's public relations program and was the only "on campus" space available for visitors.
The Senate voted to allow foreign students to be represented by a voting senator. In past years the foreign student representative has not been allowed to vote. The Senate said the representative may be chosen from any the foreign students by any method they choose.
Anne Hesse, Bartlesville, Okla,
freshman; Leon Matassarin, Wichita
sophomore, and Ronald D. Barta,
Salina freshman, were sworn in
as senators by Sheldon. Matasarin replaces Ralph L. Moody,
Minneola senior; who resigned from the Senate.
