"We do not tolerate war or sexism," one speaker at the rally said. "This is why we're protesting Bose Hope."

workshop.
Coalition members and other protesters presented a mock interview with Bob Hoe. The person playing Hope wore a sign that said "Nixon's Clown." Other protestors carried signs that said

A leaflet that was passed out last week advertising the rally said. "Bob Hope is the national hero," said Dale Roberts, prejudices and the chief apologist
bigger than Hope's appearance at KU. She said Hope's tours with stars such as Raquel Welch enhanced the sexism of our society.
Another said that KU's scheduling of the Bob Hope Show was an attempt to ease tensions between the Legislature and the KU campus. He said the intention of the Hope Show was to show alumni and legislature that KU had lost concern for world affairs.
After the speeches, the microphone was turned over to people at the rally.
for the Nixon administration. A军官 of Hollywood and not the military, war and tin soldiers still hold a ghostly and lucrative fixation over him. The inevitable tasteless exilolation of women."
"Only this week the administration manifested its own arrogant rejection of Gay Liberation and its allies," Bob Hoge Show advertises the success of the KU pacification program".
Fine Performances Buoy Outstanding 'Fiddler'
By MARILYN K. KING
Professor Thomas Rea has given us another plum with an album called "Stem's Fiddler on the Roof," with Rea's other offering, ("Man with Rea's March"); the performance characterizes superb, and despite minor flaws, the musical is memorable andwhole enjoyment.
"Fiddler on the Roof" is on enjoying the longest run on a farm, and is produced there. It deals with the problems a family faces when its traditions are topped by the modern world. The pressures desires for goals entirely different from their parents', the human, it introduces us to the inhabitants of the Russian village of Anatekv shortly after the turn
THEY ARE mostly Jewish and have their own life style that is strange and inexplicably offered to Russian oficialism.
VET THEY MANAGE to enjoy life despite poverty and pogroms, and adhere to their sacred traditions, which, as a result of their persecution, prevent them from being as unstable as a fiddler on the roof.
Mandy Patinkin as Tevae adds new lustre to a role originated by Zero Mosel. Displaying almost perfect vocal skills, he poses a sensitive Jewish pearson who loves his family and his God. Patinkin never loses character. With the aid of a pillow, a false smile, he wears his voice, he swagges, sings in a fine barton) and prays his way through the difficulties of seeing his old ways of life vanish. "How did you get that Man" almost stops the show.
Audrey Cohen as Goilde, Teeye's shrewish but lovable wife, is a perfect Jewish mother. Yiddish nuancees refine her voice and she has been lovely singing voice that is rich and melodious. She is at her best dancing at her daughter's wedding, discovering that the old woman's voice
the other roles are performed well, but none are as outstanding as the leads. Commendations go to Javi Seaver as the lead in *The Giving Basket*, Barry Bauer as Hodel, Teye's second daughter, who leaves home to join her lover in Silbera. The chaperones in the "chmaker" with her lovely voice, which is enough to compensate for the lack of vocal ability of Kristen Schmidt and Pamela Reeves, who help her sisters Tezel and Chava.
Other than "If I Were a Rich Man" and the lovely "Sunrise, Sunset" and "Matchmaker," the company music is outstanding. The company numbers are weak in staging and force, a skill that allows the placing of the orchestra behind it. It is difficult to hear the orchestra, which sounds as if it sorely lacks middle brass. It is also difficult for the performer to stay with the orchestra because they cannot see George Lawner, who does his usual fine job of conducting. Several times per performance, he are a distracting beat apart.
THE DREAM SEQUENCE suffers the most from this problem. it is frenetic and funny, but Both Busby's hysterical songs and Butcher's wife completely obliterates her lines from comprehension. the orchestra cannot be heard, and the scene appears more chaotic than a dream that has been invaded by a fox.
Miss Busby does deserve recovery from an unfunfortunate stage break during Friday night's performance. Propped on a backboard, she
member, she is swathed in a long coat and is apparently tripped on, to tapping both himself and Miss Busy to the floor. Without missing them, they themselves and finish the scene, drawing well-deserved hand gestures.
The first act is much stronger than the second, probably because the musical numbers are better in the first act. But the bittersweet ending of "Fiddler" allows the move to move many people to tears.

Hope's Familiar One-Liners Draw the Laughs at Concert
By KATHY TWOGOOD
Kansas Reporter
Despite a mild protest by about 10 people outside, "The Bob Hope Show" inside Allen Field House Saturday night provided a thoroughly enjoyable evening for students, faculty, alumni and others.
The buoyant feeling created by the tremendous football victory carried over into the ninth. The team's defense was to Janice Harper's full, rich contrata rendition of various big leagues, including jokes with ease and spontaneity.
Miss Harper's repertoire included "Light My Fire," Up, "Up," "I'll Love You," and "Those Were the ones" to which the audience sang along.
She performed both fast and slow songs well. The slower ones evoked a from the sentimental, romantic types, and older women swayed to the rhythm and beat of the faster ones.
Miss Harper seemed quite comfortable playing in the round and obviously enjoyed the beauty of acceptance of her by Kansans.
As Bob Hope walked to the stage, the livewire crowd stood to welcome him. He began with his own rendition of "Come Up Roses," which was written especially for Saturday's show. He also sang special arrangements and 'Haindrops Keep Falling on My Head' and "Buttons and Bows."
But Hope's greatest talent still
was his remarkable ability to make people laugh. Many of his jokes had been heard often, but the older members of the audience laughed the hardest. Several quips came out of her mouth as she had once been a center, but he was too tuckish to continue the job.
Earlier in the afternoon at a press conference, Hope was invited to meet one of the receivers a negative reaction at any other colleges. He replied that he expected one at the University of Kansas. The response Hope received from the Saturday night market carried over completely and completely squelched the effect the few demonstrators outside might have had.
