Production of 'Indians' A Brilliant Masterpiece
By MELISSA BERG Kansan Reviewer
Under the brilliant direction of Joe Brooksing, professor of speech and language excellence is synthesized into a masterpiece of outstanding achievement. The Theatre production of Arthur Koepp's "Indians" which opened in 1970.
Buffalo Bill, the opitone of Buffalo West heroes, is the object of his art. He is also a hero of real heroism versus role exploitation is explored. The reprieve is not.
venturous spirit of Americans,
Bill is shown in his pomp and
blessing for his wild Wild West
show. But he is not a witness,
untiling actions of harmful intervention in others'
plight of the American Indian.
The actors themselves make the scene changes, and the trainers are accomplished mastermasters maintaining the tone of the play.
Because the play is KU's entry in the National College Theatre the audience can see the size of the cast, necessitating doubling and tripling of robes. The actors wear tight-fitting hammers the performance in the least. The quality of the rotating costumes was excellent.
William Kunkle is superb in his role as Buffalo Bill. He recreates the awkwardness, amability and that sails out to the audience and remains with them the entire performance. He maneuvers a crowd of people with remarkable skill and maintains the pomp and ostentatiousness on which Bill thrives. Buffalo Bill could've left Steve couldn't play himself better.
Dave Fronen as Sitting Bull has the deep stirring voice and quiet dignity that make his people who much more moving.
Actors doubling in roles guess of the best character performances Mandy Parkinik and Kristen Stewart, the Russian grand duke on the verge of apoplexy because he cannot match Bill's shooting as with a chief Joseph, who with a larger spirit speaks of his dying people.

are highly authentic and the fake white horses of Bill and the other cowboys add an extra sense of the gala Wild West atmosphere.
Director Brookling's penchant for director-influenced and historical authenticity led to exceptional excellence of Kopit's script. One striking example is the perseverance of the Indian warriors dance in which Indian warriors dance in Indian fashion fastened in their feet.
Although the gunshots may be rolls of caps and the horses made of paper mache, the message is more unimpaired. The finer of the KU production turns Kapit's play into a more experience for the audience.

Each weekday from 7:45 to
14:15 a.m. on site in a stool at the
Library checking books,
dispensing information and being
involved.
The 66-year-old Weaver, a former school teacher who taught in the area, was a Force officer from Pennsylvania who is in "being a friend to man."
ON A NORMAL day he can be observed pointing out to a student that he has a hole in his lunch plate and he needs some smoker or pulling on the telephone to make a call for someone who needs help in answering.
Weaver, who moved here from Pennsylvania after he retired, has been at his post in the library since 1956 and worked years. He likes his part-time job because it allows him to meet people. Also he still has time to enjoy his hobbies which 'are always new to me' and collecting coins and stamps.
"Some come in that haven't been in the library before," he said. "You can always tell you because they don't walk with a bib.
"You never get a chance to grow old in this job if you don't want to." Weaver said. "There are so many places to work that 'alk to if you have the time.'"
'YOU ARE THEIR first contact with the library and their first impression can be good or bad depending on you.
"That's one reason why I like foreign students. When you're in a foreign country you are always going to give you a help and a hand."
Weaver should know. During his 21-year Air Force career, he flew to Australia, New Guinea, the Philippines, South Korea and Japan.
When his four hour stint at an library is finished each day, he picks up the books he picks up his biography and heads down the hill where his wife picks
"I think of foreign relations with these foreign students," he said. It creates a good mood in America if some old man with a gift will say good morning to them when they come into the library."
his stamp collection or perhaps to read one of the many publications that cover the top of the coffee table in his den.

"Much of my reading has to do with the government and the military," he said. "I'm eligible for college. When they get new books, they send me out a list of them and I check off the ones that I want to read and send it back. When the kids are doing homework, send me five or six of them."
Weaver is also a stamp collector. "I buy a few plate blocks and sheets now and then," he says. He also collects first day coverers.
COINS ARE ANOTHER hubs of Weaver's. When among them Indian men, many have an interest. Weaver tells the story of a post office in a small Oklahoma town. He writes from the post mistress. He would then go through the coins to look for an item.
One day when he entered the building, the post mistress chided him and said, "You were a day earlier. Someone had brought a quart jar of Indian head penns and she had to count and wrap all them and carry them to the bank.
"I was sick about that one for a long time." Weaver, admitted.
Weaver said that those who use the library are usually cooperative about allowing him to check their books. "There are a few times when you miss a point, you point out to you," he said.
HE SOMETIMES is a bit embarrassed that he must be so much older than he is, especially bothers him when he must cheek coats in the winter. "I will just stick to it," he said, "and thanks to this job, the library's shrinkage fund."
It is evident when one watches Weaver at his job that the most important part of it is meeting and doing nice things for them.
"Giving doesn't have to involve material things," he said. "All that people have to do in order to help them to try to help one another."

Introducing the most absorbent tampon ever put in an applicator.
New Meds, the Modess Tampon,
absorbs over 40% more than the tampon you're
probably wearing. Regular or super.
What makes it so absorbent?
Examine the fiber designs closely. Ours is a series of tiny traps. It's revolutionary—the most absorbent fiber ever made for a tampon. And we're the only ones who have it. In fact, we've even patented it.
Compact when dry,
it expands when wet to
hold an extraordinary amount
of moisture. And absorbs much faster than other tampons can.
With the Modess Tampon, you feel secure. Even on your worst days and nights, when you may have worn a napkin, too, you're apt to find this tampon does the job all by itself.
We wanted this tampon to be more comfortable than any other. Because Modess Tampons *Patent Number 3,241,553*
are more compact than the ones you're used to, they're
easier to insert and more comfortable to wear.
And the soft, flexible polyethylene applicator can't stick or pinch or scratch the way cardboard can.
Which is nice. Because, once a month, every little bit of comfort counts.
Ours
Make this test. It's taken us 9 years, testing thousands of women, to develop this tampon.
But the test that really counts is for you to wear them the next time you have your period.
Just think. More comfort. More protection. Fewer times to change with new Meds, the Modess Tampon. trademark of Personal Products Company
Fiat makes it young
Makes the fun of driving easy to afford—now! Even on young budgets. The 850 Sport Spider and Sport Coupe are so easy to own they're almost “bigginsters' cars" for the sport enthusiast. Yet each is fully equipped with real sport car details like a dash-mount touchscreen, direct reading fuel, temperature and oil gauges, front-wheel disc brakes, radial ply tires, contoured bucket seats and a sure-stroking four-forward speed synchromesh stick shift. The Spider is an authentic Bertone body. Tells you right away why a Spider seats only two!
The Coupe has a rear seat for really close friends and the same sporting stance and equipment as the Spider.
