Second Night Audience Gets Money's Worth, Actors Say
Does a second-night audience see a "let-down" play performance?
Dale J. Bellerose, Lawrence sophomore, paced the dressing room floor waiting for curtain time. He too has theatrical experience having appeared in numerous productions while in the Army.
"There's not much difference in nights." Bellerose said.
Five actors of "Of Thee I Sing" cast think a second-night audience gets a performance every bit as good as the "First Nighters' see. One actor seemed a bit doubtful. They were interviewed in the Fraser Hall dressing room Tuesday night before their second performance.
"The idea of a second-night let-down hasn't got much to it."
Roger D. Stanton, Marysville freshman commented;
Beverly A. Rinkle, Pittsburgh junior, sat with a green towel over her shoulders and powdered her thighs, while a make-up artist prepared to work on her face. She said "Of Thee I Sing" is her fifth major show at KU. She traveled in Europe and North Africa last summer with the USO troupe from KU.
She Says No Difference
"It depends on how it went the first night," Mr. Stanton said. "Actors sometimes figure they have it made on the first night and think they can coast. There's a conscious effort to keep from talking about it. A unified cast won't talk."
"I've done a lot of shows," Bev- erly said. "You can't have a let-down because the audience hasn't seen the show. There's nothing to it."
Henry L. Walling, Independence senior; commented through a coat of grease paint that the second night is just as important as the first night, said.
"We just want to be sure a show is as good as we can possibly make it. The jitters are because of the performance; rehearals have given confidence," he said.
Donald B. Farrar, Kansas City Mo., junior, who has appeared in two operettas, called the second night "theory" supersition.
Idea Is Superstition
"I haven't experienced it, and no one has said anything to me about it," he said.
Lewin Goff, director of University Theatre, offered the comment that a second-night audience is new. What may have been funny to an actor the first night may not be funny to him the second night, he said.
Crisply fashioned . . . superbly crafted. . . . to give you miles of comfort and wear. Come in for a Weyenberg fitting today.
"Spontaneity is the most important thing in theater," Mr. Goff said.
Jack T. Brooking, assistant professor of speech and drama, who has acted and directed in community theaters for a number of years, said directors always caution casts against a let-down.
Fraternities Oppose Ban
DENVER, Colo — (IP) — Five of the fifteen fraternities at the University of Denver are affiliated with the same national organizations as the ones cited at the University of Colorado as having discriminatory clauses in their national charters.
"There's just no reason why one should occur," he said.
Seven fraternities at CU were named recently as having clauses which specified race, color or creed as having to be considered for membership. Of these seven fraternities, five of the same organizations are currently on the University of Denver campus. These are Alpha Tau Omega, Kappa Sigma, Sigma Chi, Sigma Phi Epsilon, and Theta Chi.
Lawrence A. Long, chairman of the Denver alumni local of the National Inter-Fraternity Council, said that the Denver council is opposed to the proposal to end discrimination on the University of Colorado campus because it would require the organizations to certify whether there were "local or extracurricular restrictions of any nature that will prevent members of the chapter from selecting new members of their own choosing."

One Aspirin Rating
The sight of an BOTC sergeant passing out student class cards with a large aspirin bottle nearby startled an official supervising enrolment.
There 'always had been stories about Prof. Snarf's class being a 3-aspirin.headache and Prof. Blat's having only a 1-aspirin rating. But had someone really applied the aspirin formula to ROTC courses?
Inquiry revealed the sergeant had only been easing the after effects of a tooth extraction.
