Plays from mystery cycles to be presented
Three plays from medieval mystery cycles will be performed tonight in the Experimental theatre.
The plays, "The Annunciation," "The Offering of the Magi" and "The Second Shepherd's Play" will be presented at 8:20 Tuesday through Friday and Jan. 6-11
Written between 1350 and 1450, the plays originated with Bible verses. Their origin was based on church practice, of instructing congregations and as they became popular the performances were moved outside the church.
Usually it took from two to three days to perform a series of cycles because there were often 40 to 50 plays in a cycle.
A choir of four will sing melodies from the period, including "The Coventry Carol," the only existing piece of music
Scholarship halls topic of meetings
Representatives of Stephenson Hall and the KU administration are conducting a series of meetings to consider "the philosophy of scholarship halls." Dean of Students William Balfour said "great changes" could result from the discussions.
Kevin Lagree, Hutchinson sophomore and Stephenson Hall spokesman, refused comment yesterday on the discussions except to say the group's original proposal to the administration had been voluntarily withdrawn. The original proposal, Lagree said earlier, was for daily visitation hours for female guests in restricted areas of the hall.
Balfour said the discussions had turned to the entire subject of life in a cooperative living group. He said the group, which also includes Donald Alderson, dean of men; Emily Taylor, dean of women; and J. J. Wilson, housing director, will continue to meet after Christmas vacation.

"We know they used musicians who played popular music of the period," said Karen Hirsch, Milwaukee graduate student and director of the play. "They tried to strive for a realistic effect."

"The Annunciation" comes from the York, England, cycle concerning the announcement of Christ's coming by the angel Gabriel to Mary.
"The Coming of the Magi" is about three kings' visit to King Herod, one of the most popular characters of the period.
