Theatre To Improve Facilities
STUDENT UNION BOOKSTORE
A bigger and better University Theatre is in the making. With the completion of the new Music and Dramatic Arts Building on Naismith Drive, the KU theater jumped upward to its present status as one of the leading educational theater groups in the country.
The University is not stopping with what is has, however. Dr. Lewin Goff, director of the University Theatre, in a recent Daily Kansan interview, outlined some plans which the department intends to complete in the near future.
The biggest project, according to Dr. Goff, is to improve the facilities of the Experimental Theatre. First, the theater will be soundproofed. This will aid in carrying on work in the adjoining two theaters and workshop at the same time.
The department is also completing next year's season of plays, Dr. Goff said. So far, he said, the Summer Theatre will present four productions, the last one being the initial Fall program.
Other building improvements slated are a storage dock for scenery in the workshop, and storage space for draperies in the costume depart-department.
The University Theatre is going to have five major shows, Dr. Goff said. A comedy, a drama by the playwright Berthold Brecht, a musical-comedy, an opera, and a Shake-spearian production, are tentatively on the docket.
Seven shows will be produced in the Experimental Theatre next year, Dr. Goff continued. "We are thinking of following each major production with a related experimental show. This would be done by producing the shows in the same period, by the same playwright, or some other connection," he said.
an honorary student dramatic organization, "As far as I am concerned, we just couldn't get along without them. Their cooperation, warmth, and the way they assume responsibility deem them the leaders in our enterprises. They are the nucleus of our group." he said.
Effecting a closer affiliation with community theaters is also in the plans, said Dr. Goff. "Once we build up our department we will be able to send graduate students into the field as directors in various community theaters. This would be part of the work toward their degrees." he explained.
Dr. Goff gave a great deal of praise to the University Players.
"Many people have the idea that you must be a drama major to get a part in our plays. This is absolutely wrong," Dr. Goff said, "We are an all University activity and we would like to have everybody come over and join us. If anyone gets the urge to saw a board, drive a nail, paint a flat, or even act a bit, there is no reason why he should not drop around."

A Campus-to-Career Case History

"This was the kind of challenge I was looking for"
Here's what John A. Reiter, Jr., B.S. in Electronics, Arizona State College, '54, says about the biggest project so far in his Bell System career.
"This was the kind of challenge I was looking for—a chance to assist in planning a microwave radio relay system between Phoenix and Flagstaff, Arizona. Five intermediate relay stations would be needed, and I began by planning the tower locations on 'line of sight' paths after a study of topographical maps. Then I made field studies using altimeter measurements, and conducted path-loss tests to determine how high each tower should be. This was the trickiest part of the job. It called for detecting the presence of reflecting surfaces along the
transmission route, and determining measures necessary to avoid their effects.
"Not the least part of the job was estimating the cost of each of the five relay stations. All told, the system will cost more than $500,000. When construction is finished in December of this year, I'll be responsible for technical considerations in connecting the radio relay and telephone carrier equipment.
"This assignment is an example of the challenges a technical man can find in the telephone company. You take the job from start to finish-from basic field studies to the final adjustments-with full responsibility. To technical men who want to get ahead, that's the ultimate in responsibility."
