Two Grad Students 'Organize' Actors
Two assistant instructors of speech are attempting to help the disorganized student. Barbara Conroy and Maralyn Shackelford, both working on master's theses, are attempting to prove that, with a little organization, the student can spend less time studying, more time in outside activities, and still maintain good grades.
Both speech instructors are in charge of plays which will be presented in the experimental theatre series.
They have both termed their casts "controlled." This means that they have set specific hours for sleep,
KU Professor Dies in K. C.

Aging Conference Here Feb. 14-15
Five state institutions and agencies concerned with problems of the aged are sponsoring the ninth annual Conference on Aging Feb. 17-18 in the Kansas Union.
The conference, open to any interested persons, will offer discussion concerning what a community can do to help its retired citizens spend their time profitably and enjoyably.
One out of 10 persons in Kansas is past 65 years old, the legal age of retirement. Statistics show that by 1980, 15 per cent of Kansas' population will be made up of senior citizens, or persons business and industry believe no longer maintain maximum job efficiency.
Stripper Won't Be Stripped
LONDON — (UPI) — Phyllis Dixey, London's star stripetease artist during World War II, told a tax court yesterday that she stopped taking it off and became a hotel cook instead so she wouldn't "be stripped of everything again by the tax man."

One more factor which pertains to the control groups is the stipulation that they attend all their classes. This means no cuts.

The play, "An Italian Straw Hat," will serve as the non-control group and will be contrasted and compared to the two control plays, "Naked" and "The Great God Brown."
As soon as the plays are produced and rehearsals are over, Miss Conroy and Miss Shackelford will check to see which of the two groups has maintained the better grade average. They will check not only the academic progress but also the attitudes of the actors.
Miss Conroy told the Daily Kansan. "With proper planning and scheduling of time during a rehearsal period, the actor's academic progress won't be affected."
The two assistant instructors plan to finish their observations by spring.
Suspended 3 Re-enrolled
Three students dismissed last fall for alleged acts of TNE vandalism have been reinstated.
Laurence C. Woodruff, dean of students, said the students are on probation and have lost credit for last semester's work. Although charges against the three were dismissed in court, Dean Woodruff said, the University had sufficient reason to believe their dismissal justified.

Classes Under Way- Except for Late-comers
Most students have become acquainted with their new courses by now.
Some are happy and others are already complaining. They have been assigned a term paper or, perhaps, have decided some course is no "pud" after all.
Alexander, or "Sandy," as he prefers to be called, arrived in Lawrence at 2:30 a.m. Tuesday. He had flown from Michigan to Kansas City, and then took a bus to Lawrence.
But how much worse is the plight of the student who enrolled late. This poor fellow has not attended a class. Perhaps he has not even purchased a book.
Sandy attended KU during 1957-1958, and then transferred to a school in Houghton, Mich., where he would be closer to home.
Take Alexander J. Yeats, Castleton-on-Hudson, N. Y., sophomore, for example.
Why did he come back to KU?
"It was too cold in Michigan," Sandy explained.
"It snowed 220 inches there this winter. The average temperature at
noon the first two weeks of January was -12 degrees," he added.
He explained that Houghton is located on the upper edge of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
Sandy began late enrollment procedures at 8 a.m. Tuesday. He had to make stops at the admissions office, the registrar's office, the business office and with his adviser. His adviser helped him make a tentative schedule, to be approved by each of the department heads.
Sandy discovered all but one of his courses had been closed. He and his adviser made out another schedule. After considerable retracing of his steps, he was accepted in all the classes.
"I was enrolled, but I still had to have a place to live," he said.
"Templin Hall, where I lived last year, looked mighty lonely, but I think Joseph R. Pearson is going to be fine," he said. Templin was closed when J. R. Pearson opened.
"Oh, oh!" he exclaimed. "I have to go back at 10 today to sign a car declaration card, the student directory card and other forms. I guess I'm not done after all."
