Today's Cryptoquip Clue: C equals W On-campus literary journal seeks student submissions CAMPUS TOM DEHART tdehart@kansan.com The Siren, an on-campus literary journal, has been publishing pieces of creative writing and art since last fall. Within a year, the publication has achieved moderate success, but is still making attempts around campus and the literary world to expand its audience as well as contributors. "Being a national publication gives us a larger range of pieces to select from. Over the summer submission period we got pieces from NYU as well as Johns Hopkins University," said Rachel Cross, the Siren's assistant editor. "A good number of submissions definitely come in." Despite the journal accepting pieces of work that include poetry, fiction, non-fiction and art, the publication is suited more towards writing pieces. of one another," Cross said. "When it comes to art, that's something that still needs some working out. We are in the process of finding an art director at the moment, but we do try to place pieces of art we receive with works [of writing] and have them play off The publication also does interview series with prominent poets as well as other published authors, and has just recently begun another, slightly more light-hearted series of interviews entitled "Ask The Author." These will include less-serious, more comical and laid-back interviews with authors about their individual careers and writing processes. "Being a national publication gives us a larger range of pieces to select from." RACHEL CROSS The Siren assistant editor "Even though we are really new, we have gotten a lot of recognition," Cross said, referring to the amount of attention the publication received for its interview with National Book Award winning poet Nikki Finney last spring. "One charm that I think we possess as an undergraduate publication is that we are able to approach authors from a younger and more personal perspective," Cross said. Though the Siren has already received submissions across the United States and some considerable recognition for past interviews, the publication has continued to take steps to grow further. "We just recently set up a Public Relations department to help get us more submissions and widen our publication." Cross said. "We also are going to do a show once a month on KJHK that will feature some of the writers that we publish as well as try to do a couple of Sien readings around town that will feature students." Cross said these radio shows and public readings are all part of an attempt to widen and develop the creative writing community in Lawrence, and to help establish a greater recognition for creative writing at the University. Poetry, fiction, non-fiction and art submissions can be submitted to sirenjournal.submittable.com/submit. Edited by Hannah Barling KU Theater sinks its teeth into adaptation of 'Dracula' For its first production of the fall season, the University's Department of Theater will present "Dracula," a stage adaptation of Bram Stoker's famous novel. The show will run Oct. 4-6 and Oct. 18-20 in the Crafton-Preyer Theatre in Murphy Hall. Show times will be 7:30 p.m. for Friday and Saturday performances and 2:30 p.m. for Sunday matinees. Tickets are $10 for University students, $17 for KU faculty and staff and senior citizens, and $18 for the general public. Directed and written by Dennis Christilles, the story follows the path of Jonathan Harker, who returns from Transylvania and the employment of a Count Dracula to England. Upon returning, he becomes swept up in the mystery of the strange behavior of patients in a mental asylum. When Professor Van Helsing is brought in and discovers that the work of a vampire is responsible, a whole cast of characters must work together despite their differences to protect their loved ones and bring the vampire By Kate Miller kmiller@kansan.com Christilles, who also designed the set, said that one of the most exciting opportunities this play has offered has been the ability to work with a University faculty member in the cast. Professor John Staniunas, the founder of Musical Theater for Kansas, plays Van Helsing in this production. "That's one of the most interesting aspects of the play," Christilles said. "How people can work together to do the impossible, despite their differences and own natural prejudices." "He was on board with the project even before the script was finished," Christilles said. "He's been a great supporter of the project and he does a great job of performing." The cast of 17 actors has been rehearsing since the first week of school to prepare this season opener, learning new skills to enhance its performance. Christilles stressed his hope that the work stays true to Stoker's original novel. "Firing blanks on stage out of an authentic piece is pretty cool," said Kevin Siess, a junior from Wichita who plays Texan Quincy Morris. "That was actually the most fun I've ever had on stage." Morris and fellow actor Christoph Nevins, a sophomore from Overland Park who plays Arthur Holmwood, hinted at many surprises to be seen during the show. Nevins advised the audience to look forward to Dracula's very first appearance. "You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll be scared," Siess said. "If you like sex and violence, this is the show for you." ["The audience] can expect a good story told well", Christilles said. "I hope that I, and all of us, have done it justice." to justice.
