It was an evening filled with the soft, soothing sound of soul. It was an evening that also rocked with rythm and blues and jazz. The music and vocal talents that featured the music and vocal talents of Roberta Flack.
For a little less than three hours Saturday night, Roberta Flack entertained an audience that filled Hoch Auditorium. And entertain she did. The audience was all celerent in the celent musical show, but also to the personal warmth and sincerity of a very fitted performer.

Vietnam Recovering New Book Maintains
Her society was rooted into the soil and her people led an endless life of repetition and ancestor worship. For the Vietnamese, she was not a mission beyond the hamlet and there are no fraternity outside the family.
In 1972 there is very little of Vietnam left. Some might argue that the country was named Frances FitzGerald, however, Vietnam has a long history of sovereignty.
Her book, "Fire in the Lake," supports a series of lessons, reasons and sound logic. Current events indicate that her cautioned predictions are valid.
"Fire in the Lake" traces the slow evolution of Vietnam from the mythical age to the present. It is the painful energy of a

"The First Time I Eve I Said Your Face," her first commercial hit, was the crowd's response. If one song had to be chosen, Flack's talents, this would have to be it. Her warm, sincere vocal soothes the audience, while the song is a perfect, low-keyed background.

A LOT of singers' backups would have fallen into the shadows when matched to the Black Jack. A black group managed to add a perfect complement, and they show off tough talent to rate a billing of $150K.

Foreign Study Beckons Travelers
The urge to travel has proven itself as the trend continues, the University of Kansas compiles with the nomadic wishes of its officers.

Hertzfield directed KU's Junior Year Abroad Program in Costa Rica for three years. She said she is interested about all aspects of study abroad.
Two new programs are being planned, Hertzfield said. By next week England, should be offered both summer study and the regular session. A summer program in England also is being planned.
After talking to Anita Hertz,
she asks, "What you're apt to find yourself

"When you send ambassadors to our town, rounded persons," she said. "We want to send the best there is—we want an average, good human wants."
"Foreign study is a very important experience in human development," said I. This is the social, anthropological attitude I hope other people have when they visit the United States."
Enrollment in the program is not complicated if you take part, who should begin to make arrangements a year ahead of time. Hertford

moments.
THE FIRST step, according to the school's rules, is for students in the Foreign Student Office about travel plans and to pick up an application. The office is in
Second semester sophomores and juniors are preferred for the program.
"The experience abroad could help the sophomore decide exactly what he wants to do," she said. "Must I attend juniors knew
what they want to go into.
They're the most open to what's going on. This is just an ad攻势, shot of experience for them."
The student can spend one semester or two in the country of his choice. All course credit is transferable. In countries where English is not spoken, at least 60% of the country's language is required before a student can enroll in the program.
But it was Roberta Flack's spotlight and she definitely earned the spot.
After the application is completed, a passport, health records and recommendations from three teachers must be submitted by the student must write a short autobiography in the foreign language of the country he is applying to.
AFTER THESE preliminaries are taken care of, Hertzfield said, the student will be interviewed by students from Foreign Study, a professor from a department other than the student's foreign language, and someone who knows something about the country the student will visit.
"People who are really good will go," she said. "They have the drive, the spirit and the need to do it."
"These kids are better ambassadors than the officials are," Herfftild said. "They aren't just bad guys, but in behalf of an entire country."
Even though students will have to browse their own experience in a foreign university should be no more expensive than a normal semester at KU, Hertzfield said. She would take the trip and she said, if finance was not a big problem, she'd be money available through an endowment to the program. However, she said, there is not enough money for all desiring students.
"The only limit to the number of people we can send," she said, "is in theory. It is a wast not to have one, but who has even thought of it, once thought of it."
HERTZIELD thinks there are many advantages to traveling in an organized group like Junior Year Abroad.
"Organized trips place you in a community. You're not lost. You
have someone to go back to if you need to."
"We often have first-han-
acquaintances with politicians,
militants, and other people
interest in the country. Most
people don't have that opu-

Cost, orientation periods,
cost of equipment, sportation vary with the program and are worked out by the Foreign Study Office according to the instructor.
Should a student decide he would like to remain in the country longer, his transportation money will be according to Herm field, and he will be free to make his own arrangements.

stay in a foreign country and the SUA Office provides several alternatives to them.
"We want to get away from the airline-travel agency image," she said. "We want to lean toward the student traveler by offering a shock, hook, hitchling, youth hitching, and economical living."
Films and slides will be shown at all times during the fair. Each evening a speaker will discuss culture shock and available questions and questions students might have according to Jessie Townsend, Shawnee Mission sophomore and Travel Fair co-chairman.

Sites, speaking to a group of 40 in the Jayhawk Room of the Kodak Theater, should not think of skits or scripts this year but of productions and memoration notes. He said a production is "dancing, music, a comedy routine or anything a group of 40 in the Kodak Theater, as long as it followed the theme."
About 550 awards to 37 counters will be available for the 1973-74 season. Preference will be given to applicants living or studied abroad.
Awards will be given this year for best production, best male role, best former and best experimental production. Sites said he. He said the awards for male and female roles are based on awards. No real acting could be developed in such a short time as it takes for milk productions required he.
