Fine, an innocent young woman searching for enlightenment through a doctoral degree, was befuddled by Dr. Wingo M. Bingo's computerized research in which he was trying to help people remember the color order of the rainbow. THE YOUNG STUDENT's exposure to the trivial pursuits of such a distinguished professor revealed to her that maybe, just because all professors were "pure and enlarged慧." Sally and Dr. Bingo are just characters for the audience who will see the premiere of the musical comedy "The Last of the True Scholars," which will open for the first time at 8 p.m. on Oct. 26 and will run through Oct. 31 at Inge Museum Theatre in Murphy Hall. But the play, which has been billed as a spoof, is far too real for Angela Woodhill. "The play was written through my tears," Woodhall said, glancing at the floor. "It is not Woodhull received her master's degree and doctorate degree in educational psychology at the University of Florida in Gainesville. She said that the characters represented students and professors that she worked with as she cars she worked on her doctoral dissertation. "I saw time and time again," she said, "people wanting to research the noble kinds of things and then finding out that just to finish and get through the politics of it, they had to compromise themselves to the position of talk about the research was embarrassing." WOODHULL STARTED her own typing business in Gainesville two years after she started working on her dissertation. Most of her students up of students whose dissertations she typed Through her own experience and through talking with the graduate students whose papers she edited and typed, Woodhull said she found that many professors researched mundane and meaningless topics in order to get articles published. "Most research that I either typed or did myself I would define as trash," she said. WOODHULL'S EXPOSURE to Carl Jung's analytical psychology at age 15 guided the direction of her education. "I wanted to do some really powerful research," she said, "something spiritual — something meaningful — something that would really help. Just as Woodhill gradually became disillusioned by her experience with what she referred to as less than "noble teachers," he began a more realistic notions were just that — only ideals. "Now to talk about something spiritual is considered stupid but you can't measure it, and you can't feel it, see it or taste it." Dr. Waillee R. Redwood, better known in the play as Wally, represents one of the rare "noble teachers." His efforts, however, go unrecognized by the university WALLY NARRATES the play from the street where he sells vegetarian hotdogs. Woodhull described her father as a "noble teacher" who was concerned with education's influence on each student's spiritual "Now to talk about something spiritual is considered stupid because you can't measure it, and you can't feel it, see it or taste it." Angela Woodhull, playwright Spending her summers working with her father in concession booths at an amusement park in Ohio and spending the school year in a summer camp will call a diverse range of childhood experiences. growth as well as mental growth. "I'd go back to school with my orientation of the world based on my life at the amusement park, she said. "I would go home and try and sell lettuce souvenir to the kids." "I can remember the first play I wrote in first or second grade was a love story that took place in Hawaii," she said. "I had the neighborhood kids playing the characters, and we used red wagons for red convertibles." HER CHILDHOOD ENERGY had her writing and directing plains at an early age. Woodhall has come a long way since those childhood productions. "The Last of the True Scholars," which she finished in early 1984, is the first play she has had produced. The play was AUC's entry in the 1986 American College Theatre Festival's original script division. "Although the play came from a negative experience," she said, "I took the bad experience and comedy it into an art — not art but comedy and I said that with pride." Films show Hitchcock still master of suspense Rv PEGGY HELSEL Staff Reporter After being locked in archives for more than 20 years, five of Alfred Hitchcock's films were re-released last year. Student Union Activities will be showing two of the films, "Vertigo" and "Rear Window," this weekend. "Vertigo" is being shown at 3:30 and 9:30 p.m. tomorrow and at 7 p.m. Saturday. "Rear Window" will be shown at 7 p.m. tomorrow and at 3:30 and 9:30 Saturday. Both films will be shown in Woodruff Auditorium of the Kansas Union. CHARLES BERG, associate professor of theatre and media arts and director of film studies, said the films were both regarded as classics and were two of the late director's outstanding works. After "Rear Window" was released in 1954 and "Vertigo" in 1958, Hitchcock stopped distributing the films to theaters and television. They were not shown again until somehow, Berg said, "someone was able to wrest control of them from the Hitchcock estate." Hitchcock was also concerned with preserving his films as they were, which was impossible when they were shown on commercial television, he said. Berg said Hitchcock removed the films from distribution because he "was much more critical of his work than film critics would be. As a result, he felt these were films he could go back and tinker with." "It would be like taking scissors to the 'Mona Lisa' to make it fit into a book." "SO MANY DIRECTORS are horrified when their films are broadcast on television." he said "Commercials interrupt the flow and continuity of the film. Plus, television has the nasty habit of trimming films to make them fit a conceived time slot. - When the films were originally released, he said, they were box office and critical successes. Hitchcock usually managed to have big names in his leading roles. "He was one of the first directors to have celebrity status." Berg said. "The people would go to his films knowing they were going to have their socks knocked off." Other re-released Hitchcock films being shown by SUA this semester are "Rope," Stewart's first Hitchcock film, "The Man Who Knew Too Much," starring Stewart and Doris Day, and "The Trouble With Harry," starring John Forsythe and Shirley MaLaine in her film debut.
