Actors 'Egged' Audience To Action
Although the invitation to throw things at the actors was extended to the audience, Ted Teichgraeber Emporia sophomore, director of the recent melodrama, "Pity Poor Pearl," never expected to carry it to extremes. So, when, on Saturday night, three eggs bombarded the cast from the audience and began to drip from the scenery, Teichgraeber was a bit put out.
He felt that although former audiences have practiced the theater etiquette impeccably during the past, it is doubtful that they will be encouraged to throw things again at future melodramas.

KU faculty members who are on the program are James W.

Mr. Lathrop advises and consults with recreational executives and college faculty members concerned with music, drama, physical education and other forms of recreation.
"Righ now there is a great need for more trained recreational leaders," Mr. Lathrop said. "People trained in physical education, industrial arts, dramatics, music, and sociology are needed."
"The National Recreation Assn. is hoping that the minor in recreation in KU's physical education and recreation department will be changed to a major." he said.
Recreation people work with persons of all age through city recreation departments, private agencies such as the YMCA, and social service agencies, Mr. Lathrop said.

"We are losing faculty members to schools paying higher salaries," Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy said today. "We are not only having to compete with other universities for top level men but also with industry."
Educators Into Industry
"With our lower wage scale, many faculty men find it advantageous to go into the industrial field, not only hurting us but draining the field of education of top level faculty members," he said.
The Board requested a five per cent increase in salaries over this year in December. This is included in Governor Docking's budget for 1957.
However, it is believed that Kansas schools must get another raise in wages for their faculty members or risk losing more top men.
"The five per cent raise in salaries in the budget now will just about allow us to stay even in the race with other schools for faculty talent," Dr. Murphy said.
Grim Business
"Finding and keeping top notch faculty members is a grim business these days," he said. "In this game its dog-eat-dog and you have to acquire good instructors wherever you can find them."
"The Regents also asked the restoration of $43,000 to the KU budget which was cut out by Governor Docking. The Board seeks the restoration of the money so that the same salary scale can be paid in the summer term as in regular sessions.
"I think maintaining the same wage scale throughout the year is very definitely a factor in getting and keeping the faculty members you want," Dr. Murphy said.
"With all the raids going on on our campus and other surrounding schools, I believe this is the worst period we have faced in a long time," he said.
