KU's 'Moonchildren': Life Through Insanity BY DAVID HEALY Kansan Reviewer "Cancer" was the original title of the play at the Experimental Theatre until its author, Michael Weller, changed his mind and called it "Moonchildren." One play concerns the communal life of eight students (seven seniors and one grad student) who share an apartment. They are a group of four students, Aquarium and the American value systems. Lest anyone be confused, the University of Kansas production is billing itself as "Mochinchidron (or Cancer)." Perhaps that is why the play is actually two plays in one. The other play concerns one child, Bob, who is brilliantly played by Plaud Hough. A music composition major, Bob is trying to understand life and cannot. His mother dies of cancer just before Christmas break and he never informs his roommates. Since neither plot is subordinate to the other, I can empathize with anyone who, in general, lacks a plot. The play is very funny. I suspect more so for those of us who were college students in 1970 than for our younger compatriots. I also suspect that most people over 38-years-old will not see much of the humor. C'est la vie. To insure that there is never a dull School Districts . . . The main thrust of the bill, Dennis said, was to equalize the burden of the school districts and make it possible for all students to attend public school just a minimum of educational opportunity. DENNIS SAID that the bill would weigh the per pupil expenditure to provide for differences in the cost of educating pupils in different age groups. Elementary school students should be counted and secondary school schools would be counted as 1 and three-tenths of a student. The bill would set a minimum level of pupil expenditure which the state thought would guarantee adequate education throughout the state. Any district that wished to provide more funds would have to pay the additional proportion of the total expenditure. These districts would not afford this amount would have larger subsidies from the state. would have received if the rest of the county had been of average wealth, and when it did not get any funds for being an exceptionally poor district. Dale Dennis, director of statistical services for the state department of education, reviewed the provisions of State Senate bill 716, the legislative committee's proposed plan. The bill would provide an alternate method of finance for public education. If the bill is passed as it now stands the state would provide for all of the cost of vocational and special education. The bill would also provide more transportation opportunities to which are schools that are more than 10 miles from any other school in the district. (continued from page 1) THE DISTRICT COURT in the Caldwell case found the present finance system unacceptable because it did not provide equal protection under the law to all citizens as required by the fourteenth amendment to the constitution. In a press conference before the meeting, Plucker said, "the legislators want to reach agreement on some basic approach to finance." moment, two of the moonchildren, Mike (Eric Anderson) and Cootie (John Ahrens), are veritable Rosencrantz and Guldensterns. Although they are quite insane, they do have "method in their madness" for they are Phi Beta Kappa. When they appear in twin Santa suits, their buffery approaches Treweedie and Treweedied. During the press conference Dennis said that state funds to public education decreased from $29.5 million in the 1970-1971 school year to $8.9 million this year. He said that this was because of decreasing enrolments and lack of revenue. At the opening session of the conference, John O. Yulich, board of education member from Kansas City, Kan., said that the meeting was the first in a series of meetings of the states four largest districts. Yulich said that these four, Kansas City, Wichita, Topeka and Shawnee Mission decided that their conference should be held in the five districts that would have similar problems. BECAUSE OF this, Plucker said, the local districts are going to have to carry out an inspection. Apartment dwellers will love Art Slan as Mr. Willis, the landlord. Never has the kind-hearted slob been so well portrayed. "Gee, I just really do admire you kids . . ." The original group was increased to 12, Yulich said. When these 12 districts met they again decided that the problem of finances should be approached from a different point of view. The district said, came Thursday's meeting in Teopeta in all which Kansas districts were invited. For seniors, who may become depressed watching other seniors worry about what to do after they graduate, the play offers the answer of the year to the toff question, and then asks the next year. "I think I'll be a homosexual," is the answer. For once, the Experimental Theatre is truly experimental. In traditional theatre the audience looks onto the stage through a large screen, and the audience through a giant picture window. In "Moonchildren" the apartment has been constructed in the auditorium and the audience enters through the front door and into a brightly lit four walls. And they say walls can't talk! "Moonchildren" runs today and Saturday. If you miss this one, you might as well be on vacation.
