Teletype Is Quick
MRS. ALTA H. LONNECKER and the KU teletype
It takes KU only a minute to get in touch with the University of California. This can be done by KU's only teletype machine, located in 318 Watson Library.
It is used for several KU departments as well as for library business, Mrs. Alta H. Lonnecker, secretary to the director of the library, said. Watson uses the teletype mainly for inter-library loans. It is also used to take and send messages for 10 departments at KU.
The library got the teletype machine in 1953 as a service for membership in the Midwest Inter-Library Center, a book depository in Chicago. About 25 other libraries associated with the center use the teletype service.
"Many companies use the teletype to request department members for job recommendations," Mrs. Lonnecker said.
Takes Only An Hour
Using the teletype, she can "speak" to any place in the United States which has a teletype machine. In less than an hour she can receive the information she wants.
"You, feel as if you're talking to the other person," she said. "You can get more on teletype messages than on telegrams and can get the answer immediately. Also, using teletype is cheaper than using the telephone." she said.
Letters on a teletype keyboard are not the same as those on a standard typewriter keyboard, she said.
"On a teletype machine, there are no capital letters, question marks or quotes," Mrs. Lonnecker said.
She said that it is often confusing to type a teletype message after typing on an ordinary typewriter most of the day.
A code is followed when calling other teletype stations, she related.
Message Is Relayed
"To call the University of California at Berkeley, I type the code number OA 503. The message from Lawrence goes out over telephone wires to Kansas City, then to a stop station farther west, and then to Berkeley." she stated.
"The operator at Berkeley will type back 'go ahead, please' in telexype code, and I start the message." Mrs. Lonnecker said.
She said that there is no charge for getting a location but that codes are used for speed until the connection is made. KU's number is lawr 8641.
New teletype directories as large as the telephone directory for the borough of Manhattan in New York City are published every three montns, she said.
"We pay rent for a teletype exactly as we do for a telephone." Mrs. Lonnecker added, "we get to keep it as long as we pay the bill."
'Robin Hood' Enjoyed By Both Young, Old
The imagination of a child is a vivid thing, but the youngsters who are lucky enough to see the Children's Theatre performance of "Robin Hood" in the Experimental Theatre will need no abstract forces to be able to feel part of the band of merry men in KU's Sherwood Forest.
Director Sally Six has adequately recreated some of the well-known scenes from the famous novel on the illustrious character. Her staging of Robin's fight with Little John and his fording the stream with Friar Tuck made the characters life-like rather than mere legend.
Robin Hood's quick laugh and dancelike movement, his manliness in conquest and defeat, and his constant good humor were perfected by Terry Kiser.
Both Entertaining
Sneegas was the tumbling fat man who registered some wild and hilarious stylized expressions. Moberly was a cowardly, but excitable sheriff with excellent quick movement and vocal polish.
Larry Sneegas' Friar Tuck and Bob Moberly's Sheriff of Nottingham were the big laugh providers of the evening, both in different ways.
Maid Marion was anything but a withering flower as protrayed by Nancy O'Brien. Her energetic, pert character added a new gaiety
to the show.
Bruce Lewellyn was convincing as Alan-a-Dale. His wife, Ellen, played by Nadine Harrison, was alive and charmingly fresh, yet she maintained a housewifely character which gave her an edge over many of the other players.
Taylor Contest Winner Chosen
Adram Eley was an effective Little John; Sidney Buffington a strong Guy of Gisborne; and Earl Bevan a kindly King Richard. Curtis Zahnd seemed to lack confidence in his role of Will Scarlet, and poor makeup hurt Leela Allen's effectiveness as the sheriff's wife.
Carios M. Campuzano, Kansas City, Mo. senior, won first prize of $85 in the second annual Taylor student book collection contest Wednesday. His winning collection was 25 books on travels in Spain. Campuzano is in the School of Engineering.
Good Supporting Cast
Roger Brown, as a minstrel, set the mood of the show at the beginning and end of each scene with his stirring singing of folk ballads.
"Robin Hood," the play, is guaged for children between the ages of 7 and 14. These children should be enthralled at the performance. Yet, "Robin Hood," the dramatic achievement, should not have any problems delighting adults in the audience. It's a fine little play.
Gilbert Cuthbertson, Leavenworth junior, won the second prize of $40 for his collection on the Civil War. He was a finalist with his collection on the same subject in last year's contest.
The judges were Jerome Cushman of Salina Public Library, Dr. C. Frederick Kittle of the KU Medical Center, and John Edward Hicks of the Kansas City Star.
Honorable mention went to Robert L. Packard, Lawrence graduate student, with his collection on North America mammals.
The winning books will be displayed either in Watson Library or the Kansas Union in May.
- John Husar
The contest is sponsored by Mrs. Elizabeth Taylor, Kansas City, Mo. book collector.

Chicago's motto is "Urbs in Horto," which means "City in a Garden."
Res Ipsa Loquitur Lawyers Alter Law
Take away the lawyers from Green Hall's steps and what do you have? Empty steps.
That is the way they were for several yeu. Deviant this period it was against the law to s
That law, passed by the Law School faculty, said. "Loafing and loitering on the Law School steps and in front of the Law School during class hours is forbidden."
To make sure there was no time to loiter, the faculty passed another ruling which limited the time between classes to five minutes since "there is no necessity for a 10-minute intermission."
These rules were made in an effort to hold down the "horseplay" and "raising-of-hob" by the budding barristers.
The lawyers put up with this administration for several years and then petitioned for the return of their grandstand permits.
They promised faithfully to sit
Exposition Queen To Open Exhibition
Sharon Waterson, Wichita freshman, queen of the 1958 Engineering Exposition, will cut the ribbon in front of Marvin Hall and officially open the exposition at 9 a.m. Friday.
Dean John S. McNown of the School of Engineering and Architecture, and Mrs. McNown and Chancellor and Mrs. Franklin D. Murphy will be officials at the opening.
Also present at the opening will be Kay Winegarner, Arkansas City junior, the Relays queen, and Emily Mohri, Kansas State sophomore, Big Eight Queen.
with arms folded, to look at the towers of Fraser Hall, and to whistle only an occasional symphonic refrain.
Step-sitting privileges were restored and the law was eventually forgotten.
All that remains is a living monument to the unsuccessful legislation—the lawyers on Green Hall's steps.
The television production of Shakespeare's "Taming of the Shrew," starring Maurice Evans and Lili Palmer, will be shown at 4 p.m. Friday in the rehearsal room of the University Theatre in the Music and Dramatic Arts Building.
The kinescope, presented on the Hall mark Hall of Fame, will also star Jerome Kilty, Broadway actor, who played Falstaff in the KU production of Sheakespeare's "Henry IV."
Shakespeare Play To Be Seen On TV
The film is sponsored by the University Players and will be open to the public with no admission charge.
There have been two other films in this series at KU. They were "The Lark" and "Hamlet." "Alice in Wonderland," will complete this year's series. It will be shown at 4 p.m. April 25 in the rehearsal room of the University Theatre.
