Rooks also noted, as evidence supporting his statement, that Soviet-made AKA47 rifles had been found among AIM people at Wounded Knee. The AKA47 were traced to Czechoslovakia, he said, and arrived in Dakota through Cuba, Mexico and Arizona.
It was a tragedy that the public was duped and that the Oglala Sioux were victimized, said Rooks. He said the tribe had nothing to do with the takeover or AIM.

Imperfections in Hashinger Drama Fail to Eclipse Theatre's Merits
By CHERYL CROOKS
Kansan Reviewer
Begin with a formula of ambitious students, experimental productions and an informal atmosphere. The result can be an evening at the Hashinger Hall Theatre.
About 75 people crowded into Hashinger Hall's little theatre for the Friday night performance of "Hello Out There" and "This Property is Condemned."
Both one act plays were tasteful selec-
tions, although the latter was Condé-
nado. Conde is the superior production.
William Saroyan's play, 'Hello Out There,' is a drama about a bryching. The book features three characters:
The murder scene was pathetic and more funny than tragic.

Wednesday's seminar on women in government will begin at 7:30 p.m. in the Council Room. Speakers will be Nancy Hambleton, Lawrence mayor; Donna Heller, Kansas assistant attorney general; Marisa Dixon, a spokesman for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development; Jean Spokenkos for Common Case of Lawrence; and Lynn Knox, Lawrence junior and member of Women's Coalition.
dereveloped direction of Valerie Voigt,
Birmingham, Ala. junior.
Her cast appeared uneasy and mechanical. It was hard to believe that the jerk would be a junior, and the jerky gestures of Joel Knapp, and the freshman, were hard to be understood.
Voigt needed to experiment more with character motivation and staging. Understandably, the small performance area could create problems. However, even that small stage seemed too large for Voigt to use comfortably.
Sarovan's fine writing, Voigt had managed to say something about a man's loneliness.
Donna Young, Dalla junior displayed greater understanding and maturity in her direction of Tennessee Williams' one act play, "This Property is Condemned."
Williams' play is molded in the conversation between a young girl and a boy. Young made an emotional appeal to the audience for Willie. The young girl.
The cast, Denna Drole, Chicago freshman, and Bob Fletcher, Cameroon, Mo., senior were more confident in their skills. Wille, was both touching and delightful.
The set and lights for both productions were kept to a minimum.
The merit of the Hashinger productions lies in their independence as student productions. The evening could be viewed at the Haskinger audition and the Hashinger participants,
Women in the social sciences will be the seminar topic at 7:30 p.m. Thursday in the Jahayawk Room. The speakers will be Debbie Lickler, women's editor of the journal *Mind*, professor of Swartz, professor of education; Barbara Etzel, professor of human development and family life; Donna Schafer, Wichita graduate student; Edwin Stone, professor of psychology; Robert Cairnson and Carmen Cabrera, social worker for the Bert Nash Mental Health Center, Inc.

Kansan Staff Reporter
The collection of amphibians and reptiles in the Museum of Natural History at the University of Kansas has acquired a sort of territory and distinction within the past few years.
The herpetology collection, which is one of five collections housed by the museum, is ranked the sixth largest in the world, according to William E. Duelman, professor of systematics and ecology and curator of the collection.
Only the collections of the American Museum in New York, the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C., the Field Museum in Chicago and the university Chicago are larger than the herpetology collection at KU. Duellman said last week.
A major emphasis within the collection has been dogs. Duelman said this was the first time a dog had been trained to hunt.
The collection was started in the early 1900s. In 1959 there were about 51,000 specimens in the collection, which has since increased to size in about 194,000 specimens, he said.

Visitors from other institutions and from countries such as India, the Netherlands and Ecuador come to KU to look at and use the collection. Duelman said about 50 to 100 scientific visitors used the collection each year.
"We without a doubt have the world's finest collection of tree frogs," he said.

He also said the museum had the largest frog skeleton collection in the world.
The collection has reached its present size because of active field work by staff members and graduate students, ex- clerics, other institutions and donations, be said.
The collections are not just in a warehouse collecting dust, though," Dairee
Duellman said that the collection was being used as an educational resource.
But no part of the collection is on display, said Duellman, because most specimens are preserved in alcohol and must be kept in a cool, dark place.
The museum lends specimens to other institutions, he said. There have been 74
