Rep theater fills summer in silver town
The 13 KU students who went to Creede, Colo., to work in the Creede Repertory Theater had no problems telling where they weren't. Entering the little town by its one road, they were greeted by a sign: "This is not the road to Lake City."
It was, however, the road to a summer filled with enjoyable labor for the group who not only comprised the resident company of the theater, but also its costume and set designers, property men, directors and stagehands.
This season was the third year students have made pilgrimages to Creede, an old silver-mining town of 500 persons. A minister serving the town worked with local Jaycees promoting the theatre for summer evening entertainment.
Once a boom town, Creede now is listed as a "ghost town." However, this year a new silver vein has turned back time.
Nine members of the company lived at the Silver Palace boarding house which, during the old boom times, was a brothel. Two married couples lived above the theatre.
Shari Roach, Lawrence junior, said about 90 per cent of the audiences were from Texas. They had come to fish at Creede, which is located on the Rio Grande river.
Plays presented during the summer included "Ten Little Indians," "Green Grow the Lilacs," "Johnny Moonbeam and the Silver Arrow," "Barefoot in the Park," and "A Man for all Seasons."
Steve Reed, Wichita junior, was acting director and B. J. Meyers, Overland Park senior, was technical director.
McCollum sets up exchange program
Food and lodging, football tickets and a "groovy" party including dates, await 57 McCollum Hall residents migrating to the KU-Nebraska game at Lincoln Oct.12.
Frank Zilm, McCollum Hall men's president, says the migration was organized on an exchange basis with the Abel Sandors coed residence hall at Nebraska. "Next year, they'll come down here," said Zilm.
The cost of the weekend for McCollum students is $15,
which Zilm considers inexpensive since the football ticket,
alone, costs $5.25.
The KU group will depart for Lincoln at 7:30 a.m. Oct. 12. Forty-four students will travel by bus, while the remaining 13 will get there "any way they can," said Zilm.
Arriving on the Nebraska campus by noon, the KU fans will attend the game and, afterwards, eat dinner at the residence hall. In the evening, Nebraska students are throwing a party for their Kansas visitors at a cabin on the Missouri River. At the coed Nebraska hall, McCollum students will stay in rooms of NU students who are away for the weekend or will be provided empty rooms, said Zilm.
The exchange idea originated with Zilm last February when he attended the National Residence Hall Conference at Pennsylvania State University. He first met the representatives from Nebraska at a division meeting.
They met again in August at the Midwest Conference at Illinois State University. "We got to talk about football games and I asked them if we (McColum) came up, could they house us," recalled Zilm. "They said 'yes' and we've kept in contact since that time."
KU alum returns as dean of Business School

Clifford D. Clark, new dean of the School of Business, sees today's businessman in the forefront of social change and the leader in the struggle for world progress.
Clark, an alumnus of KU, sees greater managerial knowhow as the route to world development. "If this can be done with a view to social priorities, then business will have made a great contribution." he said.
"The tools that have been developed within the business community are already being applied to many world problems." Clark said.
Clark said he is aware of the business community's fear that today's idealistic students are ignoring the field. "But evidence for this concern is questionable, I think," he said.
Still, Clark said he feels there is a need for improving the business image.
"I hope some of the social consciousness of the business community can be brought to the attention of the students," he said.

Sees business as social leader
Clark thinks the new joint- major program in the business school will help to serve this purpose. This program allows the business student to declare a second, non-business major.
Scholarship hopefuls learn about programs
Students who hope to obtain Fulbright and Direct Exchange Scholarships met Thursday in the Kansas Union Forum Room.
Mrs. Sandra Ttaversa, foreign studies advisor, introduced Dean Aldon Bell, assistant dean of the College, who spoke on the Fulbright program. Information on the Direct Exchange Scholarships was provided by Dean Arnold Weiss, assistant dean of the Graduate School.
Essentially, both men told students about applications for the programs. Most important are the student's statements about his objectives and himself, and his letters of recommendation by the faculty and others.
Thomas R. Smith, acting associate dean of faculties for international programs, stressed the significance of details in the students' questionnaires.
"Have some idea of your educational development. When did you come awake intellectually? What really matters?" Bell said. "Many students haven't actually thought about this before."
The student should also have some knowledge of the language and background of the country he is interested in. He should expect to answer questions in that language during the interview that accompanies his application.
Hundreds of new and exciting fun things to do on dates.
KU applications are due Oct. 18 in the Office of International Programs, 224 Strong. Qualified seniors and graduate students may apply. Their interviews will be during the first week of November and perhaps sooner for Latin America. All of the applications are forwarded to

the IIE. Students will be informed by the national screening committee if they are recommended. However, this does not necessarily mean an award follows.
Under the Direct Exchange program, one student from KU is exchanged with a student from the country of his choice. KU pays for the foreign student's expenses, and his country provides the same for the KU student. Expenses cover tuition, fees, and a stipend of approximately $1500. Fulbright travel grants are also possible.
Scholarships available this year are England, 3; Scotland, 1; France, 3; and Switzerland, 1. Six, and possibly seven, are offered from Germany.
A Fulbright applicant for the academic 1969-70 is ineligible for a grant to a country in which he has spent more than three consecutive months during the year prior to May 1, 1969.
"It permits students to become involved in the major issues of our day," he said.
He considers involvement vital. "It behooves us," Clark stressed, "to educate not only good businessmen, but good citizens as well."
According to Clark, one of the big issues in the business world today is finding a set of principles to guide business managers in their community activities.
"If a firm considers locating a branch in Harlem," Clark said, "the decision has to be made by the business manager on the basis of a profit and risk analysis."
But the experience of business in the ghettos is not yet sufficient to predict results, said Clark.
Therefore, he continued, the decision would depend largely on the business manager's sense of social responsibility.
According to Clark, businessmen are becoming more aware of their social responsibilities.
He pointed to John Gardner, former Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare, a longtime businessman, now head of the Urban Coalition. This group of corporate leaders is hammering away at the complex problems of city living.
Clark also noted the Interracial Council on Business Opportunity, which is made up largely of businessmen volunteering their time and efforts. This organization is making it possible for minority groups to find careers in business, he said.
Clark said some business schools alert their students to social trends and show them how to react.
"This is bad education," he emphasized. "We need to take an active role in these changes and help to lead the way."
Clark, formerly a vice-dean of New York University's business school, said the pragmatic resolutions of the business community can be a strong force for the good.
"I am convinced," said Clark, "that the business arena is the arena of social change."
52% of the Nation is under 25 and they've got power. That's how Max Frost at 24, became President of the United States.

Council reaches two-thirds of $18.6 million goal
Holgar J. Johnson of New York, president of the Council for Financial Aid to Education, spoke to the KU Council for Progress and guests this afternoon.
Other speakers were C. N. Cushing, Downs, chairman of the Kansas State Board of Regents; Stanley Learned, Bartlesville, Okla., national chairman of the Program for Progress, and Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe.
The Council, composed of about 300 alumni, friends and faculty members is sponsoring a three-year campaign for $18.6 million in capital gifts. About two-thirds of the goal has been achieved as the third year begins.
About 250 persons attended the 2 p.m. meeting in the Kansas Union Ballroom, which was preceded by a luncheon.
Roger Miller here Nov.
Members of the council will be guests for a dinner this evening at Oliver Hall and many will attend a Saturday noon brunch in the Kansas Union before the Kansas-Indiana football game.
Country and western singer, Roger Miller and his 32-piece orchestra, will perform with Andy Williams at the 1968-69 Homecoming Concert, Nov. 2. The concert, sponsored by Student Union Activities (SUA), will follow the Kansas-Colorado football game.
