The University Theatre's next production, "The Trojan Women," by Euripides, has been in rehearsal for two weeks. It will be presented at 7:30 p.m. Thursday and Friday.
"The Trojan Women" is a study of one great situation, with little plot, little construction, and little or no relief or variety.
One feels in the background the presence of the conqueror, simister and disappointed phantoms; of the conquered men, after long torment, now resting in death.
The only movement of the drama is a gradual extinguishing of all the familiar lights of human life, with, perhaps, at the end, a suggestion that in the utterness of night, when all fears of a possible worse thing are passed, there is some peace and even glory. The situation itself has this dramatic value, that it is different from what it seems.
But the living drama for Euripides lay in the conquered women. It is from them that he has named his play and built up his scheme of parts: four figures clearly lit and heroic, the others in varying grades of characterization, nameless and barely articulate, more half-heard voices of an eternal sorrow.
Museum Releases Annual Publication
The Museum of Art has released the 1958 edition of The Register, its scholarly publication. The Register has three articles discussing art works held by the museum.
One article is by an Italian scholar, another by a museum director in Leipzig, Eastern Germany, and a third by an American scholar who discusses the museum's unique bronze by Antonio Camova.
Edward A. Maser, director of the museum and assistant professor of art history, said The Register and other museum publications are available to the public upon request.
William Howard Taft was the first president of all 48 states.
Lewin Goff, associate professor of speech, director of the University Theatre and director of the play, feels the play, "The Trojan Women," after it has once begun, should not be interrupted in any way. Therefore, he has asked that the doors be closed at the rise of the curtain, and be kept shut throughout the hour and fifteen minute show. There will be no intermission because, by doing this, the great emotional effect of the show would be broken, and the audience must be in this emotional state to receive the full value and enjoyment of a play of this sort.
Tickets will be sold at Bell's Music Store, the Kansas Union, and the University Theatre box office. Student ID card exchanges will be made at the University Theatre box office only.

Adds New Majors
The School of Education has approved two new majors in the area of social studies that provide for depth of training in either history or political science, Dean Kenneth E. Anderson announced Wednesday.
The new programs will permit a student preparing to teach in the social studies area to major in social studies with either a history or political science concentration. These require a minimum of 48 semester credit hours of social studies courses with a minimum of 24 credit hours in history or in political science.
Students completing these concentrations will have approximated an academic major in the respective departments.
The School of Education also retains the options that permit a student to major in social studies and minor in another academic field or minor in social studies and major in another academic field.
Alvin H. Schoild, associate professor of education, planned the new programs in cooperation with the faculties of the departments of history and political science.
The Onondaga Indians receive 150 bushels of salt annually from New York state under terms of an ancient treaty.
