FOLK BALLET

A State Department-sponsored visitor from Ecuador will visit the University of Kansas tomorrow through Friday to observe the International Theatre Studies Center at KU, a theater spokesman said yesterday.
Ramon Arias Altamirano is participating in the international visitors program and will be in the U.S. until Nov. 14.
Arias, director of the University Theatre "Agora" in Guayaquil, Ecuador, will be visiting the KU theater faculty and studying the International Theatre program and physical plant. He will also be a guest at a performance of "Kismet."
Costa Rica year adds program
Arias will also have a chance to see the organization which publishes the Latin American Theatre Review.
Honor students in Latin American area studies may work on research projects in a new addition to the junior year in Costa Rica program, Mrs. Sandra Traversa, foreign study advised, said.
Any student with three semesters of college work and 16 hours of Spanish is eligible for the program, she said.
The Costa Rica program is sponsored jointly by KU and the University of Colorado in cooperation with the Universidad de Costa Rica in San Jose. The academic year runs from February through December with a recess in July.
KU hopes to send 15 students to Costa Rica this year, Mrs. Traversa said. The students will live in private homes.
The cost, estimated at $1,850 includes orientation, round-trip air travel between Costa Rica and Kansas City, university fees, room and board in Costa Rica, and the expenses of scheduled field trips.
Ferrari first
ROME (UPI)—Ernesto "Tino" Brambila of Italy drove his Dino Ferrari to victory over Italian Andrea de Adanuch's Dino Ferrari Sunday in the 20th Grand Prix of Rome.
Jean Pierre Beltoise of France, who already has clinched the European Formula two championship, was fourth in Matra behind Briton Peter Gethin, who missed taking second place by two seconds in the 154.7-mile race in his Brabham.
A six-week orientation program is given here before the students leave for San Jose, Mrs. Traversa said.
Applications for the foreign study program in Costa Rica are being accepted until Nov. 15 in 224 Strong Hall.
Scholarships are also available to cover all or part of the travel expenses.
In the past, groups have taken field trips to Paname, Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru.
Rumanian folk ballet well received here
The scene could have been a lively street dance in a Rumanian village as the curtain rose last night in Hoch Auditorium on 100 brightly-costumed dancers and a folk orchestra performing the Rumanian folk ballet "Clocirilia."
The ballet troupe, whose precise movements were interrupted by frequent and enthusiastic applause, presented an assortment of regional folk dancers and Rumanian instrumental and vocal solos.
A highlight of the ballet for the KU crowd of nearly 2,200 was the instrumental performance on pan-pipes. A series of hollow bamboo prongs arranged in a semicircle, the instrument is played like a harmonica producing a whistle-like sound resembling that of a piccolo or flute.
"Two types of Rumanian dances, hora or round dance and sirba, a more lively step, are incorporated in the ballet," director Petre Nastovici, said before last night's performance. One of these, the Girdle Dance, portrayed a humorous contest between two male teams for the same girl's love. In another folk dance performed by village girls, dancers pantimomed the embroi-

Ballet performers again drew audience applause as they played the American tune "Yankee Doodle."

Show At Dusk
Performing at KU during their $3\frac{1}{2}$ month tour of the United States, Canada and Mexico, the Romanian folk ballet opened in Madison Square Garden Oct. 14, before an audience of more than 5,000, the ballet director said.
The KU performance is their 15th in the United States. From Kansas the troupe, composed of 35 orchestra members and 18 dance couples, will go to Los Angeles.
