'Trojan Women To Be Given This Week
"The Trojan Women," the first Greek play to go before the lights in University Theatre, will be presented by the Summer Theatre at 7:30 p.m. Thursday and Friday.
Tickets may be secured by students and faculty at the University Theatre box office by presenting ID cards and may also be purchased at the Kansas Union and Bell's Music Store.
The play was written by Euripides and presented for the first time in the spring of 415 B.C. It was translated by Richmond Lattimore, and Dr. Lewin Goff, associate professor of speech and drama and director of the University Theatre, is directing the play.
Since it is the first Greek play ever to be given at the University Theatre it has been necessary for Herbert Camburn, instructor of speech, to design new costumes for the 21-member cast.
Maralyn Shackelford, St. Joseph,
Mo. graduate student, is the assistant director; Virgil Godfrey, assistant professor of speech and drama, is directing the work on the sets and Jack Brooking, assistant professor of speech and assistant director of the University Theatre, will be in charge of makeup and Dick Borgen, Lawrence senior, the lighting.
The play concerns the women of ancient Troy who were taken captive by the Athenians after Troy fell. The men had been killed and the women, headed by Hecuba, Priam's queen, are assembled before the walls of the burning town to await departure into slavery.
163 Attend Third Preview
The third preview group of fall freshmen checked in Sundav night at the Student Union and will complete their two days of preliminary orientation at the University topight.
The group of 163 includes students from Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Illinois and Wisconsin.
This third group is the largest of the three, but Carl G. Fahrbach Jr... assistant director of admissions, said the next three will be even larger and he said it looks as if an extra or seventh preview will be scheduled.

Chief Martz Retires Today
This six week course in the social, political, and economic customs of the United States will prepare the students to spend a year studying at colleges and universities throughout the country.
M. M. MARTZ
In a ceremony at 11 am, today Chief Fire Control Technician M. M Martz will be mustered out of the United States Navy after twenty-two years of service.
Chief Martz entered the Navy in July, 1936 at the age of seventeen. He said he originally joined the Navy because "my cousin and I were dared to do it while we were still in high school. We waited until we graduated and then took up the dare."
Chief Martz has seen most of his duty on destroyers. However, he says his most interesting duty was in Cuba and by far his best duty was with the NROTC unit at KU.
He is married and has four children, two boys and two girls.
When asked what he thought of the Navy as a career, Chief Martz said, "It's a great life for a single man but after you get married the constant moving puts a heavy strain on the wife and kids."
Weather
After retiring the Chief plans to go into civil service.
Partly cloudy to locally cloudy today. Cooler over state today. High today in 80s.
Students attending the KU center will live in Gertrude Sellards Pearson Hall, eat their meals at the Kansas Union, and attend lectures at Bailey and Fraser Halls.
Besides classroom work, they will take field trips to Kansas City, Topeka and surrounding points to see American life in action.
About the middle of their stay here, the students will spend four days in Chanute. Here they will live with American families in order to learn about life in a small town.
Instruction for the course will be done by members of the KU faculty and special guest lecturers.
KU faculty members will be J. Eldon Fields, associate professor of political science; William Conboy, associate professor of speech and drama; Sidney M. Johnson, assistant professor of German; Vincent E. Gillespie and David Dykstra, instructors of English; Phillip Tompkins, instructor of speech; and Mrs. Helga Vigliano, instructor of German.
There are five other universities and colleges which have orientation centers. These are the University of Hawaii, the University of Indiana, Syracuse University, Bucknell University, and Bennington College.
Iraq Government Overthrown
(United Press International)
An anti-Western military Junta overthrew the government of Iraq Monday in a disastrous blow to western policy that may have wrecked the Baghdad Pact and brought the Middle East closer to war.
Grave fears were felt for the safety of pro-western King Feisal and his cousin, King Hussein of Jordan, target of many assassination attempts in recent months.
The coup d'etat against Feisal came so quickly the Western world was caught by surprise. In Washington there was immediate speculation whether the ouster of Feisal's government might call for action under the so-called Eisenhower Doctrine.
Later broadcasts spoke of "resistance" but there was no clue to the extent of the fighting. The rebels themselves proclaimed "total victory" and declared their support of President Gamal Abdel Nasser of the United Arab Republic.
Will Educational Television Be Used In Kansas?
Kansas may have educational television in the near future, if H. R. 12177, which is known as the Magnuson Bill, passes the U. S. House of Representatives.
The bill, to hurry the utilization of television facilities in public schools, colleges, and adult training programs, is currently in the Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce. It has passed the Senate but it must pass the House and be signed by the Presidentnt before it becomes law.
In an interview Friday, Oscar M. Haugh, professor of education, said, "We are not getting enough educational television now. There is a need for a better balance in television programming. People want more than quiz shows and westerns."
Educational television in Kansas has been under discussion since 1954. It has been estimated that educational television would cost one million dollars per year to operate in the state.
Television production in an area the size of Kansas is not an easy problem. A program has been suggested to combine the five state schools of Kansas into one statewide television network. These schools are KU, Kansas State College at Manhattan, Kansas State Teachers College at Emporia, Kansas State Teachers College at Pittsburg, and Fort Hays Kansas State College.
Bruce A. Linton, associate professor of speech and journalism, said, "Due to Kansas' geographical area and population distribution educational television would be
more difficult to effect in this state than in others.
"In a program of this type a large percentage of the population must be reached. Since Kansas' population is well diversified over the entire state, a total of eight transmitters would have to be used."
The radio-television committee of KU will have live broadcasts over WIBW-TV in Topeka on a regularly scheduled basis next year. However, the success will depend upon the further development of the statewide network. City public schools have done some
work in this field. Kansas City and Wichita are doing educational television on a regular basis with the help of foundation funds. These programs are carried on commercial outlets.
