By BECKY PAGE
Kansas Staff Writer
Theatre productions for this season were chosen for the variety they offer the theatre goer and the experience they seek from the actors, according to Tom Real assistant director of the theatre.
Rera said that the productions were not picked solely for the benefits they might bring to the box office.
Rae explained that there were three branches of theatre at the University of Kansas. The main theatre is the first branch. The second and only five porchations, but this year it has been expanded to six.
"Cabaret" will be the first main theatre production. Rea said that it was picked because it had good music and a good story.
"CABARET" will be followed by "Tango," a contemporary play by a Polish author. A guest
director from Yugoslavia has agreed to come to KU to direct the play, a satirical comedy.
The third production will be Eugene O'Neill's *last play*, "Long Day's Journey into Night," and the story of O'Neill's early life.
"The Matchmaker," by Thornton Wiltshire will be the next play. It has not been available for sale until now, because of the continued box office success of "Hello Dolly," which took its story from a 1960s sitcom.
THE FIFTH production will be Japanese Kuki theatre. And Tsukibushi. asst professor in will direct this production
The sixth and final production in the main theatre will be "The Tender Land," an opera by Aaron Copland. The opera will be produced in cooperation with the School of Fine Arts. Copland

"Celebration," is by Schmidt and
Jones, creators of "The Fantastiks."

A played写 by David Willis, KU graduate student, will finish the season in the Experimental Football League's "Mules," and is a satirical comedy.
The third branch of the theatre
is the Theatre For Young People. Only one play a semester will be presented. The first will be performed in "Antelope Boy." Both plays will be performed for three days for children in Lawrence and the surrounding area. The fourth day will be a matinee for the general public.
THE CAST OF "Niccolo and Nicolete" will tour Kansas City Ma. to perform in the Music Hall in Kansas City School in Kansas City, Kansas.

Rea said that open auditions for this season's productions would begin Aug. 28, and last about one week. An information period will be held on Friday in the University Theatre for all those interested in the theatre.
Some Students Choose Farm Life

Farm Life Appeals To Some Students
By STEVE HIX Kansan Staff Writer
"The city is a real pain. All the noise and traffic and rushing around. It sure would be nice to leave," Carraway, Leavenworth, sonen.
A growing number of University of Kansas students are leaving the city for the slow life the country offers.
Julie Langston, Wichita grade of 72," lived on a farm for two years while attending KU. She was also a farm for the rest of her life.
Langston will move to Paris this fall. She said that she was very anxious to live in Paris, but her desire was to live in the country.
The farm Langston lives on in near the planned Clinton reservoir southwest of Lawrence. Her house is on top of a hill, which allows her to view the Wakaraus Valley. The lights of Lawrence, the town's upscale opaque can be seen on a clear evening from her house, she said.
"PEOPLE ARE more friendly in the country than in the city. There are people you can really count on out here." she said.
Animals and gardens are a popular pastime for students on the farm. Langston is growing carrots, radishes, potatoes, cucumbers and chives and watermelons. She boards one dog and seven cats.
The main drawback to living on a farm is the distance to school. Sometimes communications with school activities tend to drop with communications with nature, according to Langston.

mainly concern financial and administrative decisions. Since he is a MD, he said that he does not have to be asking are getting the care they need.
As director of the Student Health Service, Schwegler has 12 staff members under him.
"It is more rewarding than working with the older class people. Young people usually get well and can be treated.
The most common ailment, he said, were respiratory diseases such as colds and flu. Last year, 8,939 such cases were treated.

city to avoid the noise and traffic
that goes with all towns and
Schweiger said that one of the oldest cases that had come to the Health Center was on an ice day a student slipped off an awning and hit his head, how cold it was. Schweiger said the student fell one story.
"This is a 24-hour-a-day deal," he said. "It is kind of a rat race. But the work is very interesting here.
"The patient flow here at the hospital is going up. Last year, we had 103,442 patients," he said.
"It is so great to have the freedom to do whatever I feel like doing, whenever I feel like it," she said. "I am so excited about it. I'm entering a world of my own when I get home from work, she said."
READING and preparing for the next day occupy most of Schwegler's spare time, he said.
SOME OF THE nicest things that come with living in the country are the birds in the city and the bugs at night, Smith said.
Smith said that she had experienced vandalism and thefts while living in Lawrence, New York. She threatened the threat of them in the country. When the bark dork now, they were walking here here here and not down the block.
Some of the highlights of a day at Smith are to watch her irish sail such freedom that she would like to join in and counting the cones.
Carraway thinks the city is too hectic for his pace. Everyone is always on a deadline schedule in town, he said.
Carraway said he missed the comfort of a nice shower and it he had to have his drinking water in by truck. These are only minute problems, but they are not covered by a country dweller, he said.
DURING THE school year the farm that Carraway is living on will become a commune. There are students and two female students.
He said he was very optimistic about the commune. He said it was a very delicate situation when trying to form such a living community, and he could not get along with everyone else, or it would never work.
Carraway said that his love for the farm derived from the quiet evenings, being able to turn up the stereo as loud as he wished.
"I appreciate being able to listen to the quail in the front yard in the morning and the crickets at night. Watching the sun set over the hills in the west is a perfect way to end a day," he said.
Bruce McKay, Horton junior, is living on a farm for the first time. He was the last minute decision to move to the farm, but it was a great one.
McKay said that he enjoyed the pleasant drive to school and work every day. He spent six hours of summer school and working ten hours a day. This leaves him with little time to enjoy the farm, away from town was a pleasure.
IT IS easier to appreciate the surroundings in an uninhibited situation such as one would find removed from crowds. Being removed from these crowds, a person is in touch with nature. The city is very much more enjoyable than that of the city." he said.
