By IONE TRIMMING
(Of The Daily Kenyon St.
(Or The Daily Kansah Star)
Acting in the round is just not easy. At least that is the consensus after seeing two scenes presented at the director's workshop Wednesday in the Student Union Ballroom.
The scenes were from "The Glass Menagerie" by Tennessee Williams and "Davy Crockett" by Frank Murdock. They were projects of a play directing class taught by Lewin Goff, associate professor of speech and drama.

"The Glass Menagerie" was the better blocked and better acted production.
Blocking, or placement of the actors on the stage, is particularly difficult in theater-in-the-round because actors must talk to as much of the audience as possible. Also, such a staging involves little or no scenery, thus actors must pantomime and make their actions as vivid and as realistic as possible.
In the scene from the Williams play, the actors looked at home and as if there was some purpose to their actions. The production's success can be contributed to the precise direction of William Kuhlke, Denver, Col. graduate student.
Outstanding performer of the evening was Joyce Elliott, Independence, Mo. sophomore. Her portrayal of Laurie was very vivid as a shy, withdrawn girl.
Jim Bicket, Indianlo, Miss., sophomore, as the gentleman caller and Carolyn Ransopher, Manhattan junior, as the mother gave life and vigor to their parts.
The scene from "Davy Crockett" showed the inexperience of both the actors and the director.
The actors were inexperienced, but the director could have done much more with their ability. The blocking was poor and the pantomime used in place of scenery could have been more real. Due to their inexperience, the actor's did not put over what the director failed to give them.

The west wing of the second floor of Strong Hall looks more like an art gallery today than a staid corridor of a university administration building.
Pictures Decorate Staid Strong Hall
Both sides of the hall are lined with pictures by Kansas high school students who will attend the 17th annual High School Art Conference today through Saturday.
Miss Marjorie Whitney, professor of design, said more than 1,000 high school students representing 50 schools are expected to attend. They will receive criticism and suggestions from a panel of four critics. The work will not be judged in competition, but only to help the student in his work.
Animal Sculpture Planned By Museum
Animal sculpture by Anna Hyatt Huntington, will be featured in the Museum of Art beginning April 1.
Mrs. Huntington's most famous statue, on Riverside Drive in New York City, is the equestrian statue of Joan of Arc. For this work, the government of France awarded Mrs. Huntington the Legion of Honor.
More than 200 museums in America own some of her smaller works.

'Brazilians Attend Classes Sporadically'
GLASS
In Brazil, class attendance by both the professors and students is spontaneous, and it is rare if more than 50 per cent of the scheduled classes ever meet, Dr. Charles Michener, professor of entomology, told the Entomology Club Wednesday.
Dr. Michener, who spent last year in Brazil, said that the students there take very highly specialized courses. Plans were also made for a spring picnic Saturday, April 27. The next meeting of the club will be Wednesday, April 10.
