French performers give concert tonight
Tonight a part of the Paris Left Bank will arrive at KU. The French literary cabaret troupe, Paris Rive Gauche, will perform at 8:20 p.m. in the University Theatre.
The concert will range from 13th century French folksongs through contemporary works by Jean Genet, Louis Aragon, and Jacques Brel, touching upon the nostalgic music of the early 1900's. The four performers work together in two's and three's, and at some point in the program each artist presents that material . . . ballads, songs of fantasy, mime, satirical comedy.
The show stars Jacques Marchais, Beatrice Arnac, Bernard Haller, and Paul Villaz. Haller and Villaz write special material for other French comedians and for French radio and television.
The performers all began their careers on Paris' Left Bank; the men at a small literary cabaret called La Contrescarpe, located in the heart of the Latin Quarter.
In 1960 the troupe was invited to sing at the Festival d'Arras, and they have been representing France yearly at music festivals throughout Europe, notably at the Festivals of Rome, Barcelona, Brussels, Amsterdam, Geneva, and at the National Algerian Theatre.
Problems hamper tutoring program
Thirty-three students have volunteered to tutor East Lawrence children, but administration problems are hampering the program's inauguration, Janet Riley, Ft. Worth senior and chairman of the KU-Y community tutoring program committee, said.
"We're just sitting back, waiting for the (East Lawrence Community) Center to be ready," Miss Riley sighed, explaining that until the lighting is improved and the heating is repaired in the facility, it is inadequate for use. She hopes to begin the tutoring program by November 1.
Tutoring will be handled in groups of three or four children, according to subject and grade level, she said. Tutors will meet with the children from 4 to 5 p.m., Monday through Thursday in the Center.
Miss Riley analyzes the delay in the program as the "lack of defining of roles and responsibilities within the (Center) organization." She said, "The advisory board, being newly-appointed, is not sure of its' function."
KU-Y seeks volunteers
for United Fund drive
Volunteers are being sought by KU-Y to help in United Fund canvassing, November 3 through 7, said Ward Coleman, Boise, Idaho, senior and co-president of the organization.
Persons interested in volunteering to canvas one or two hours should contact Coleman at the KU-Y office in the Kansas Union. Transportation is available.
KU-Y is cooperating with the community fund-raising drive as a fulfillment of its operational model of community service. "We hope to indicate . . . that we are interested in the community." Coleman said.

Their first American tour was in 1965. Since 1966 they have returned for semiannual tours which have included more than 200 American colleges and universities from coast to coast.
Miss Arnac and Marchais are both winners of Le Grand Prix du Disque. Paris Rive Gauche has also appeared several times on the "Tonight Show."
The week of the Association of University Residence Hall's (AURH) Fall Festival climaxed Friday night with "The Great Pumpkin Lives," a program of skits and in-between acts in the living room of Templin Hall.
'Great Pumpkin skit is high point of AURH festival
Dress was casual, with the audience, about 75 persons, sitting on rugs facing an improvised stage at one end of the room.
Psychedelic lights, satire on university life and antics of Charlie Brown and friends from the comic strip Peanuts, highlighted the skits produced by Watkins, Miller and Lewis Halls.
Ernie Bauer, Clay Center junior, and Rich Euson, Western Springs, Ill. junior, were the MC's and entertained between skits with songs. Euson accompanied them both with his guitar, and played one instrumental piece.
Admittance to the program was gained by paying five cents at the psychiatric help booth at the entrance to the living room.
After the hour-long program the audience was served refreshments at a "lemonade and goo" stand.
