House Officers LaudASC Speakers
All Student Council representatives who visited the organized houses during Government Week were "well informed" and did a "good job" in the opinion of most organized house officers contacted by Daily Kansan reporters this weekend.

The question asked was, "In your opinion, how well informed were the ASC representatives who came to your house, and how thoroughly did they explain ASC functions?"
In answer to the question asked of officers of 60 houses, 41 stated that the representatives were well informed and did a thorough job of explaining, six thought they weren't as well informed as they should have been, five would give no answer, and seven said they 'weren't visited at all.
Ruth Shankland, Kansas City, Kan. junior—"I feel they were quite well informed when they came. They were asked quite a few questions and they answered them quite well."
The following are samples of the opinions:
William Hackney, Coffeyville junior—"I thought they were quite well informed. They had a ready answer for all our questions."
Howard Baselwood, Wichita junior—I "frankly thought it was $ \varpi $

James Elliott, Tacoma, Wash. graduate student—"I would say they were better than moderately, but not fully, informed. They seemed to be in the difficult position of trying to convince us that there was something to it."

Monitor's Drama Critic
'Three Themes On Broadway'
The current Broadway theater scene is dominated by plays of three main themes, John Beaufort, Christian Science Monitor New York theater critic, said Friday. The three main themes are problems of youth, recent American past and "clean" musical shows.
Speaking on The Theater Critic's Happy Lot," Mr. Beaufort described the job of the critic as being different from the playgoer only because the critic makes his living by writing about plays.
Speaking on "The Theater Crit-
He said that only one-fifth of the 60 or 70 shows that are introduced on Broadway each season are hits. Nearly every writer and producer who has a hit on Broadway has had a flop at one time or another.
Discussed 10 Plays
Mr. Beaufort reviewed and discussed ten current Broadway hits, reading parts of "The Dark at the Top of the Stairs," by William Inge, a former KU student, and "Look Homeward, Angel," a play based on the life of Thomas Wolfe.
Mr. Beaufort described "West Side Story" as an example of the musical serious play, dealing with teen-age gangs in slum areas of New York City.
Inge's "The Dark at the Top of the Stairs," is based on the theme of fear and the "idea that love casts out fear."
JOHN BEAUFORT
He reviewed "Jamaica," as "a musical comedy with no problems." The talented Lena Horne is featured in the play.
He also reviewed "Sunrise at Campbello," a personal document about Franklin D. Roosevelt and his recovery from the effects of infantile paralysis; "Music Man" and "Romanoff and Juliet." two musical comedies; the John Osborne plays, "Look Back in Anger," and "The Entertainer," both showing England as it has degenerated through the eyes of Osborne, "one of Britain's angry young men"; "Time Remembered," with its cast of Helen Hayes, Susan Strasburg, and Richard Burton; and "Look Homeward, Angel."
"Angel" An Intense Drama
Mr. Beaufort said that "Look Homeward, Angel" was one of the most intense dramas on Broadway today. He described it as a kind of fourth dimension painting of mood, psychological insight and emotion in which memory is the recurring theme.
Opera Opens At 8 Tonight
"The Saint of Bleecker Street," by Gian-Carlo Menotti, will open for a 3-day run at 8 p.m. today in the University Theatre.
Students may get free reserved seat tickets by presenting their ID cards at the Kansas Union concessions counter or the University Theatre box office before the show,
The opera, featuring guest singer Virginia Copeland, has an orchestra of more than 40 members. Robert Baustian, associate professor of orchestra, is musical director and Lewin Goff, associate professor of speech and drama, is staging the opera. Over 100 persons are in the cast, orchestra and technical crew.
Miss Copeland was a member of the original Broadway cast of "The Saint of Bleecker Street," in which she played Annina, the same role she will portray tonight.
In the opera Annina has supernatural visions, during which the sacred stigmata appear on her hands.
Mary Jo Woofter, Colby; Bonnie Dinsmore, Dayton, Ohio; Jack Davison, Bolivar, Mo.; Beverly Runkle, Merriam, and Ed Dittmore, Robinson, seniors, and David Dodds, Bagdad, Ariz., graduate student.
Other cast members include Joyce Malicky, Baldwin freshman; Bruce Gardner, Arly Allen, Karl Garrett, all of Lawrence, and Barbara Coonice, Kansas City, Mo., sophomores; Martha Odell, Carrollton, Mo., and Dick Wright, Merriam, juniors.
Because of the stigmata (markings made by the spikes when Jesus Christ was nailed to the cross), she is considered a saint, and the plot advances from there.
Costumes for the opera are by Virgil Godfrey, assistant professor of speech and drama; settings by Herbert L. Camburn, instructor of speech, and lighting by E. Arthur Kean, instructor of speech and drama.
He Only Wanted $200
A discriminatory thief who knew how much money he wanted took two $100 bills from a desk in Gertrude Sellards Pearson Hall, and left two more $100 bills behind.
Emili Sharon Stout, Kansas City, Kan. sophomore, reported the loss Friday.
Joe Skillman, campus police chief, said the time of the theft was not known. "It could have been gone several weeks," he said.
He said that prospects for solving the theft are dim, and that the money would be difficult to trace. A check of the area to see if any $100 bills had been used revealed nothing.
Miss Stout said she had planned to transfer the money to a bank.
