'Thieves' Carnival' KU's Gift To Theater Month In Kansas
Gov. George Docking declared March to be International Theater Month in Kansas in a proclamation made from the state Capitol last week.
As its contribution to International Theater Month, the University Theatre will present Jean Anouilh's play, "Thieves' Carnival." Wednesday through Saturday, March 13-16 in Fraser Theater. Depicting the French way of life, the play is the story of a wealthy woman and her two daughters who became involved with thieves to relieve their boredom.
In his proclamation Gov. Docking said the theater is a means of education, communication, inspiration, entertainment, and a source of expression.

1956 Election In Bulletin
"Your Government," the Governmental Research Center bulletin, this month features an account of the 1956 gubernatorial election in Kansas.
NOW Ends Wednesday
Theaters throughout the world will be presenting special plays during the month to show the theater as a vehicle for peace, Jack T. Brooking, assistant professor of speech and drama, said.
The bulletin points out that the election of George Docking as the first Democratic governor in 20 years has led to speculation that Kansas may be developing more competition between the two parties, at least on the state level.
Such speculation stems, first, from the magnitude of Gov. Docking's victory in 1956. A second reason for the speculation lies in the source of the Democratic plurality.
Copies of the bulletin may be obtained at the research center in Strong Annex.
Heliodon Featured In New Bulletin
"Natural Light and the Inside-Outside Heliodon," by George M. Beal, professor of architecture, is the title of the 38th bulletin published by the School of Engineering and Architecture.
The inside-outside heliodon was designed and built for use in the department of architecture at the University. It is designed to give a patterned sunlight according to latitude on the inside of the building; at the same time it is exposing the play of sunlight on the outside and surrounding area.
The heliodon is composed of a spotlight to represent the sun, a mirror to reflect the sunlight inside the building, and additional equipment which makes it possible to place the spotlight any place a person desires to represent any condition.

Murphy Lauds Book Contest
The Taylor book contest, sponsored by Mr. and Mrs. James W. Taylor of Kansas City, Mo., is open to all KU students. The contest, which closes March 25, will award $75 to the best student book collection submitted.
"Collecting books does not necessarily involve a lot of money." Chancellor Murphy said. "You can set a certain object or limit and work toward it."
"It does involve work," he said. "A lot of time can be spent searching for one particular volume. However, it can be fun and is very rewarding when the search ends in success."
